Laura Collins (Genie Francis) had a good night and a bad night on the November 20th episode of General Hospital depending on how you look at it! The good; she was reelected Mayor of Port Charles defeating Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) in the race to run the town.

The bad news; after finally being able to let her victory sink in, she makes a phone call to guess who? Her husband, Kevin Collins, who apparently is in Dublin, Ireland visiting relatives. (We know Kevin’s portrayer, Jon Lindstrom is actually in Fairmont Crest as Joey Armstrong on Beyond the Gates!).

Suddenly, her tire goes out and she needs to pull over. She gets out of the car and sees a nail in the tire, so she goes to get flares in the trunk of her car, and voila’, who should see find? A dead and murdered, Professor Henry Dalton (Daniel Goddard) staring right at her. Laura lets out a blood-curdling scream.

So, how did we get here? First, after Dalton previously showed up drunk at Wyndemere, during a confrontation with Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and Sidwell (Carlo Rota), the latter pulls out a gun and shoots him dead to rights. Britt is absolutely shaken, freaked out and terrified. She realizes just how caught up in Sidwell’s web she is. We also learned that after Britt “died” by the Hook a few years back, she was somehow swept up and brought to Croatia, having no idea what had happened to her.

A threatening Sidwell tells Britt that Pascal (Mark Forget), who has now shown up, will take her back to her place, and tells her not to cross them or he will cut off her medication to control her Huntington’s disease symptoms. Once alone at her room at Bobbie’s, she breaks down, and is unable to give herself an injection as her hands just shake uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Chase (Josh Swickard) is determined to poke holes in Michael’s (Rory Gibson) alibi to save Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) from being the lead suspect in the shooting of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). After getting more intel from Nina (Cynthia Watros) on Jacinda, (Paige Herschell) the former escort, we also learn that Ezra Boyle was a frequent customer of Jacinda’s during a confrontation with her and Michael.

Later, the now defeated mayoral candidate, winds up at the bar and Chase sits next to him telling him how he voted for him ready to see what information he can piece together to destroy Michael’s alibi the night of Drew’s shooting.

So, glad that Laura was reelected Mayor? Should GH do something with the character of Kevin Collins, if Jon Lindstrom cannot be back to share scenes with Genie Francis, since he is currently on Beyond the Gates?  With Laura now likely framed for Dalton’s murder, what do you think will happen to her next? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below, but first take a look at GH’s video tease for today’s November 21st episode.

The role of Kevin Collins is being played today by an iPhone.

As I suggested in another post, a fun temporary (stunt) recast would be Jonathan Frakes (Genie’s real life husband).

Still not convinced we don’t see Lindstrom on GH before year-end. He’s not on contract at BTG.

And just where is Ace? Might as well just SORAS him off-screen and send him to boarding school.

Lol. I know, right? Good idea to bring on Jonathan Frakes for an episode or two.

It’s time for a Laura/Sonny hook up. These two could easily be the power couple to lead Port Charles into the future (replacing Edward and Lila). Kevin was a great character but never a great match for Laura.

Egad. I would have given this 1000 down votes if possible. Laura & Sonny???

I respect others opinions, but there is NO comparison with Edward & Lila.

I don’t think I can eat dinner now. Bringing back disturbing memories of Sonny & Emily or Luke & Felicia.

A Devil would have to agree. Love Laura and Sonny. Both are foundational characters who are important to the long term survival of GH. And I think it’s great that they have been friends since 1993, that they share family ties, and always have each others backs when needed. As it certainly was today!

But as far as a “romantic” pairing of the two? Nope. I’ll be running a ski reseort down here before that happens!

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

That would feel like siblings hooking up. Sonny and Laura don’t give off that kind of vibe. That’s how I felt about the possibility of Laura Wright’s Carly hooking up with Jason. Ug, no.

Thursday and Friday were good episodes and Maurice and Genie were great. Oh and I can’t omit Kelly Thiebaud! Great material, great scenes. I was even a little spooked seeing Professor Dalton in the trunk like that. They all did a great job. And it was sweet to see Gio call Brook Lynn Mom. Oh and the Cody-Molly dancing moment was great chemistry. Loved it.

ok, there was a lot going on with this episode, first its great to see Genie Francis being put forward in a lead storyline instead of being supporting character, if only they would do the same with Rebecca Herbts, second, their should be a new Emmy Category for best dead character because omg Dalton dead in the trunk with his eyes open had me spooked and Britt showing how scared she is after Sidwell killed Dalton was spooky scary, I’ve called Sidwell a few times here a carton villian well scratch that because he went full scary ruthless villain here. GH was on fire everyone was great but my hats off to Genie Francis and Kelly Thiebaud, they really played their scenes authentically real, showing real fear in their individual circumstances. As for what to do about Kevin? either Jon Lindstrom wants to still play with his GH family or his gone beyond the Gates, so either kill of Kevin, wish would really send Laura off the rails, or recast with Jonathan Frakes(as another poster smartly suggested,) he does give Psychiatrist vibe. If the beat of this latest storyline is played right and Genie can showcase her talent, I can see her as a top contender for lead at the Daytime Emmy. So lets Go GH.

Love the relationship between Laura & Sonny. Old friends, allies & family. I was begging her to call him. I also screamed out loud laughing when she opened her trunk. Sidwell. God I kinda thought of him as a cartoonish villain but no. He needs to go. Poor Britt. LOVE Gio & Brooklyn. Also Cody & Molly & Michael & Jacinda.

Really? I was begging her to call the damn police! GH offers viewers what not to do when faced with dire situations.

Why did it seem like Laura thought maybe she had killed Talbot but didn’t remember, like having a black out when she killed Rick, she said something about “not again”?

‘General Hospital’s’ Tanisha Harper on the Future of a Jordan Ashford and Michael Corinthos Pairing

Published

By

Jordan and Michael

It’s been clear for awhile now that General Hospital has been pushing Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) more into the orbit of Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), leading to speculation that the two will become more than just business associates and friends.

Well, now, Tanisha Harper has confirmed that the long-running ABC soap opera is testing the waters for a Jordan/Michael romance in her discussion with Soap Opera Digest.

The two characters share something in common, in that, they both have suffered severe burns and disfigurement, and they share a common bond working for Aurora Media.

CHEMISTRY TEST

Harper explained, “At first, they were kind of just sprinkling it in; we were starting to do some scenes together here and there. But, I think the writers and Frank Valentini (EP, GH) liked it, and we’ve progressed with that.”

This poses a bit of dilemma for Jordan, who’s boyfriend Curtis Ashford had been sent to Pentonville for assaulting Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson), but who just wound up on the receiving end of a prison beat down and landed at the hospital.

All things being equal, Tanisha shared that Michael is fast becoming, “the one person who understands what she’s going through on a deeper level. That makes for a strong connection, and I think the fans are starting to see that connection, too.”

As to if things will escalate and get hot and steamy from herem like any great forbidden love story, Tanisha shared, “That seems to be where we’re headed. In true soap fashion!”

Harper also noted about the future of Jordan and Michael, “We’ll see what the writers have in store for us, but I do think that this could be something really interesting. It’ll make some people mad, and some people will be here for it!”

So, are you down for a Jordan and Michael romance? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’s’ Tabyana Ali Weighs In on Who She Thinks is Trina’s Stalker (Exclusive)

Tabyana Ali

On General Hospital, as Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) has launched a music career alongside Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), it was recently revealed that she actually has what seems like an “obsessed” stalker! How do we know? Well, there is a collage of the young woman that said person is continuing to add more photos to as the weeks and months roll on.

There have been several obvious suspects in the way GH has presented the characters. Chief among them music executive, Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) who continually has made statements and has been shooting daggers at anyone getting in the way of his prized recording artist.

At the same time the stalking started, Kai’s friend and former college football teammate, Quinn (Jequan Jackson) showed back up who previously had a falling out with Trina. Might he be playing nice, but wants revenge on Trina?

KEPT IN THE DARK

Fast-forward and now General Hospital fans learned that two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Alley Mills is on her way back to the show as Heather Webber, who previously was known as”The Hook” killer at one point, and is the biological mother of Trina’s sworn enemy, Esme Prince (last played by Avery Pohl).

Esme perished went she went overboard with Trina’s boyfriend, Spencer Cassadine (last played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez) a few years ago into the steely waters below. Could Esme be the one obsessing over Trina, or could it be someone else completely?

In a brand new video interview out on Tuesday, September 29, Tabyana Ali visited You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel and weighed-in on who she thinks could be the culprit! However, Tabyana shared she actually has no idea who it actually will turn out to be.

“The crazy thing is that everybody knows who it is except for me! They’re keeping that secret from me,” revealed Ali. “They want me to be as oblivious as Trina.”

THOSE WHO WENT OVERBOARD AND PRESUMED DEAD

After looking over the potential suspects and with all the theories that have floated about, Tabyana had her top picks! “I would love for it to be Spencer. I would love for it to be Esme. Mostly because I also just want my friends back on set, too. I would love to just see them and hang out with them. I think it definitely could be one of those two,” speculated Ali.

“I think everybody thought it could have been Quinn, or could have been Simon. I think we were all pointing in that direction for a minute, but I thinks that’s too easy”, declares Tabyana. “I think they’re just trying to throw me off, and trying to make it seem like it’s one of them. Now, nobody told me one way or the other about them.”

As soaps go, it’s usually not the first string of suspects who turn out to be the actual person behind the stalking. Tabyana agreed, “If you just know writing in general, if you just know TV in general, if you know soaps in general, you know that’s a game. You know, they set up, set up, set up, and then they really show the reveal. So. I was like, ‘This is just the setup to the reveal, right?'”

As for it being Spencer, it may not because his motives are bad. Ali shared, “It could be Spencer trying to fight his way back to Trina, or Heather trying to get revenge for her dead daughter Esme, or Esme herself. Those are all good ones, I was also playing around with what if it’s Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober)? That would be kind of fun. Don’t know what his motive would be. I know he passed away. He’s dead because of Joss (Eden McCoy), but it’s like everybody comes back alive on soaps, so…”

FROM KAI WITH LOVE

Some fans theorized it could be Trina’s boyfriend, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) or one another option being that the real stalker takes him out. “I think that’s kind of happened to all of Trina’s boyfriends,” lamented Tabyana. “They’ve all kind of gone that way. So, hopefully it doesn’t happen that way. Would it be easier if Kai was the stalker? Okay, yeah, maybe. He’d go to jail for a couple months or whatever. Come on out and then what? He would had to have had a brain-eating amoeba that made him do it. Who knows?” (Laughs)

In the end, are Trina and Kai truly in love? Ali shared her viewpoint and gave a tease, “I think they have love for one another, but to love someone it does take gradual time. I think it’s getting to that point. I think with this music situation as well, it is really proving to Trina that Kai is willing to be there with her every step of the way.”

She continued, “He is supporting her 10 toes down, making sure that she has everything that she needs, to going to every live show. I think this portion of their lives will definitely guide them somewhere else. I think, an ‘I love you,’ might come just around the corner.”

You can check out the full conversation with Tabyana now on the Michael Fairman Channel below.

Then weigh-in, after hearing Tabyana’s thoughts on the matter, who do you think will be proven to be Trina’s stalker? Let us know via the comment section below.

Lulu and Charlotte

The Monday, September 28 episode featured emotional scenes for Lulu (Alexa Havins), Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Charlotte that set the stage for the previously reported exit of Bluesy Burke.

In story, Lulu and Valentin inform Charlotte they are sending her away to boarding school in Maine. The reason: she needs more structure, and more than her parents can give her. Charlotte’s recent actions to try to set up Drew (Cameron Mathison) to make it look like he was making advances to a teenage girl was the last straw for the teenager.

Charlotte, at first, was angered and begging her parents to not make her leave Port Charles. Valentin exits to give Lulu time alone to talk to their daughter.

MOTHER HAS SOME THINGS TO SAY

Now alone, Lulu tries to open her daughter’s eyes as to what could have happened to her if she went through with her plot to videotape Drew with her in his car! Charlotte explains her plan and how she had everything under control, but Lulu asks her what if Drew took advantage of her or hurt her? What if things went terribly wrong? She questions Charlotte, if she even thought about that?

Lulu tried to make Charlotte see that Drew could have sexually assaulted her. Eventually, Charlotte agrees to go to boarding school, as Lulu and Charlotte share a tear-filled goodbye. However, before she leaves town, Charlotte asks her mother to let her say goodbye to Danny (Asher Antonyzyn).

VALENTIN OPENS UP TO ANNA

Meanwhile, Valentin has gone to the Metro Court Gardens and runs into Anna (Finola Hughes). Valentin is distraught sharing he feels like a failure as a father and because of his choices what has become of his daughter. He is devastated. These were also well-played scenes between James Patrick Stuart and Finola Hughes. Anna assures Valentin that sending Charlotte to boarding school is not a bad idea at all.

DANNY IS HEARTBROKEN AND ANGERED

Towards the conclusion of the episode, Charlotte tells Danny she is being sent to Maine to boarding school by his parents. Danny tries to look on the bright side, that Maine is not that far away from New York, and at least she is not being sent overseas.

However, Danny becomes upset when Charlotte tells him that her parents knew what she was planning with Drew, because Rocco had told Carly (Laura Wright).

Danny is confused why Rocco would have ratted her out. Charlotte says to impress Scou (Kayden Brenna Tokarski). The two teens hug with Charlotte promising that she’d be back, and Danny telling her he would here for her once she returned to Port Charles.

So, what did you think of the scenes between Lulu, Valentin and Charlotte? Did Lulu raise good points to her daughter about Drew, to scare her enough to realize actions have consequences? Will you miss Bluesy Burke? Let us know via the comment section, but first take a look at the opening scenes featuring the trio that sets-up Charlotte’s farewell, for now, below.
