It was day three on Monday, or the third episode of the GH Nurses Ball 2014, which featured several new performance numbers including: Brad (Parry Shen) singing and rapping to the tune “Brokenhearted” to try to win Lucas (Ryan Carnes) back, after Lucas and Brad’s other ex Felix (Marc Anthony Samuel) stripped during Magic Milo and the Magic Wands act!  Even Brad’s bestie Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) grooved to the lab techs impromptu performance!

Speaking of Britt, Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) and Spencer (Nicolas Bechtel) show up at the ball which gives Britt pause when Spencer is so excited to see her! He wants her and his dad to sit back and enjoy the surprise he has for Emma!

Meanwhile, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) sees Nikolas and so does Ric (Ric Hearst)!  When Lucy (Lynn Herring) announces it’s time for the tiny Tango to be performed by Emma Drake (Brooklyn Rae Silzer) and Cameron Webber (Michael Leone), out come the kids to start their routine which is beyond cute, only as usual with Nurses Ball numbers something gets interrupted!

This time, Spencer introduces none other than Ronn Moss’ band Player by saying he wanted to,”Do something bold and beautiful for Emma!”  And with Peter Beckett, Moss, and the band in tow, Player launches into a full rendition of their mega-hit song, “Baby Come Back” which serves as the backdrop for many a torn apart Port Charles romance!

Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) runs out in tears over Sonny’s  (Maurice Benard) infidelity with Ava, Brad decides he has nothing to lose and plants a big kiss on Lucas! Britt tells Nikolas she still loves him and wants him to forgive her, meanwhile, Ric begs Elizabeth to let him have second chance with her!  And Scott (Kin Shriner) shows up backstage and tells Lucy, she picked the wrong guy and should be with him!

As to how did Ronn Moss know Spencer Cassadine in story?  Well, Ronn and Player are friend’s of Spencer’s grandma Leslie!  And one other big piece of news, Epiphany (Sonya Eddy) spoke for the audience at home and the audience at the Nurses Ball when she took it upon herself to crush Mr. Marbles and break him apart right during Mac’s (John J. York) horrific ventriloquist act.  There was some levity to the situation when Mac was horrified and almost in tears that his childhood friend was “murdered”! Felicia  (Kristina Wagner) stood by Mac.

In another apropos tune for all the gangsters in the room and their love interests, Eddie Gomez sang  “Criminal Love” which also gave us some glances and longing looks from Julian (William deVry) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) , Jordan and Shawn (Sean Blakemore), Sonny and Olivia, and Anna (Finola Hughes) and Duke (Ian Buchanan)!  The Haunted Starlets performed too which featured Sam (Kelly Monaco), Maxie (Kirsten Storms), Molly (Haley Pullos), Lulu (Emme Rylan) and Kiki (Kristen Alderson)!

So, what was your favorite moment from Monday’s Nurses Ball 2014? Did you like how Spencer brought Player to perform at the gala? Do you think Spencer was able to sway Emma’s opinion of him? Did you enjoy the tiny twosome tango?  Brad’s “Brokenhearted”?  Watch below again and weigh-in!

Yes, Me and Kay got it right about Ron singing’Baby Come Back’ for Spenser to Emma…loved the bold & the beautiful reference…lol…Brads singing was a suprise but his movements strangely reminded me of an orangutain(spelling?) i had seen at the zoo…lol…Ephinays destruction of Mr.Marbles didnt work for me because it was poorly directed and acted…sorry…and as for the rest i thought this years nurses ball was fun harmless entertainment and better than last year…way to go Gilligan’s Hospital…lol

Will Fluke attempt to kill Ned and Micheal…i dont care that much for Micheal but i dont want to see another Q killed off!!!

I thought the murder of Marbles was poorly scripted and acted, as well. The scene did not flow well. I did like Mac’s reaction and how Felicia was there for Mac, afterwards. I love Kristina Wagner.

Yes we did but I was a little surprised that he did not part the Red Sea or turn wine into water the way his wife went on about his appearance! Lol As for Nurse E please exit left and never come back she is a Bully!

Ronn Moses…parts the red sea…lol…i think he and his wife were holding out for lots of money believing Brad Bell was going to beg Ken Doll to come back but Brad decided he rather play with an action figure…rugged G.I. Joe, Thorsten Kay!!!

Sigh… I have to agree, such a waste of time to even write that ( MR MARBLES DEATH) was senseless. Also I thought featuring Kelly Monaco the way they did was a bit much…while I am sure it was a nod to her DWTS, she didn’t do anything to improve the dance at all.

So happy to see Maxie and Lulu together again…

What a complete bonehead am I turn water into wine! Sorry!!!

Why did they not have Anna & Duke do the tango? Is it me or did Finola Hughes look totally bored & embarrassed at the ball? Why is RC intent on making her clueless as police chief?? Burning questions! I think she is being totally underused and now we have MS coming on board to steal even more air time and yes I know they are friends but makes me go hmmm!

Kelly should have had a featured dance of her own….anyone who watched her on DWTS, particularly the second time, knows how truly beautiful her routines were….that trashy tramping around the stage was a complete waste of time….far too much of this year’s show was totally amateur-hourish in comparison to years past. What was actually worthy of watching (Dr. O., Player and few other acts….) could have filled one day, two tops….this was a mangled mess that wasted too much energy and resources on minutae….and Blackie/Frisco dissing.

I get the feeling they are trying to not repeat acts from the previous year because then the NB will get monotonous fast. Maybe every other year they’ll feature Anna & Duke. I think it’s fair to give other castmembers some time to shine. Shawn did look very happy to be sitting at his table instead of stripping down to his shorts in the Magic Milo routine.

I could barely get through yesterday’s episode…….it was that bad! And whoever the hell wrote those lines for Spencer to say skewering B&B before Player came on was probably someone who doesn’t work for B&B anymore. I just thought the whole thing was tacky as hell. At least Spencer called RM, “Mr. Moss”. That he is, like moss, lifeless and without any emotion or depth. Keep your day job as a musician Ronn. You’re terrible when it comes to acting. And seriously, what was that paper bag doing on that body of yours? Oh wait, that was a tank top…….not flattering at all.

I originally thought the B&B part was funny but then i realized this was another childish stick it at them from Ron(who i once thought was great but not so much anymore)…B&B bets the last laugh with its better ratings…i still like GH somewhat but the show needs to work more on the drama in front of the camera instead of behind it!!!

Michael RM beats to his own drum he always has at least he still has toned arms not flabby fat hanging down! As for the show I am with you enough with the kids and shouldn’t Cameron be older then Morgan and Molly?????

Yeah Cameron should be older than Molly but i’m thinking the show wants to keep Elizabeth looking young for now and not have her be the mother of a teenager.As for the kids i like that the show is using them but i do think the show needs to tone it down with them a little regarding the triangle with Cameron,Spencer and Emma,There’ll be time enough for them to be in a triangle when the show ages them which i’m sure will happen one day.However in the meantime the show can use the kids in other ways.For example we could see how Emma is dealing with her mom been gone and her baby brother dying.Plus since i think Emma wanted a sister maybe we could see her feeling that it’s her fault that her baby brother is fighting for his life.Kids Emma’s age might have those kind of feelings about feeling responsibility for bad things happening.

Player’s performance. But Brad’s performance was up there. However there is definitely something missing! Perhaps the cause HIV/AIDS awareness!

Yes…they needed to focus more on aids awareness!!!

Yes…and playing out three male gay characters doesn’t work in that context.

It was fun. Ron and Player did a really good cover of “Baby Come Back.” Spencer is showing signs of being a formidable Cassadine when he gets older. Hope he stays on the side of the light. But I thought what Epiphany did to Mr. Marbles and Mac was really mean. Especially for someone in the medical profession who is supposed to be a healer. She most certainly wasn’t speaking for me with that kind of rant. If I was Mac I would have walked out.

Epiphany shouldnt have been the one to destroy the puppet…made her look tacky and unproffesional…thats Dr.Os job…lol

Even our beloved Dr. O wouldn’t have been nasty enough to commit such a vicious “ventrilocide!” The one who should have put “Herr Marbles” out of his misery is Frisco….I would have loved to see him appear backstage, twist the head off the pathetic puppet and hand it to Mac! But of course, that could NEVER happen in “RonLand!”

Rose….LOL….that was not a cover song…that was their song. They were Player and Baby Come Back was their song.

Oops!! And here I thought it was a Hall & Oates original. Guess I have to say H&O did a great cover of Player. Thanks for the correction.

The kids have an amazing future.

Player sounded great!

I dont mind Epiphany playing the sassy nurse but what she did to Marbles came off as being a bully. Classless.

BUT, the worse thing the head honcho who runs GH did was “Bait and Switch” the audience from Friday to Monday that Blackie Parrish would be at the Nurses Ball. It was a slap in the face to the fans and to GH’s history. They should be ashamed of themselves!

Ron was being childish and classless when he wrote the Blackie part and Epiphany…plus he needs to write kids as kids…imo

I absolutely agree with all of your points. I love the child actors. They are very talented. Loved Player! Did not like the “murder” of Marbles-poorly written, scripted, and acted. Did not flow well. Ron certainly disrespected John Stamos. Now, John will never return as a guest star. The Yoplait Greek yogurt-all of these references-because John is the spokesperson for Oikos Greek, or because Yoplait sponsored/funded the episode?

Both! I called the GREEK yogurt slam on the very first day, and some doubted me, but I knew where it was headed….to a big diss-tasteful Blackie burn! I don’t know why ABC would allow such absolute immaturity to be played out on their network….John Stamos was featured on one of their most enduring hit shows, and it makes no sense that the showrunners petty sniping against a particular individual should be forced on soap fans, many of whom still remember the character with great fondness. These obvious digs were truly disgusting for all of us, not to mention the actor, who thus far has kept a dignified silence over his latest insult from RonC and Co.

thought maybeeeee there was a surprise for us when they mentioned Blackie Parrish! Would have loved to see John Stamos perform vs. someone that has ZERO affiliation with the show – Ronn Moss — and WHY give props to B&B who have beat them in the ratings for years?? just what B&B needs more advertising.

What’s are they thinking at GH? Spencer hires a band he’s never heard of to serenade Emma. Beyond stupid. Player existed way before their parents were even born. I think this is RC’s secret fantasy. Why make the kids have adult thoughts and feelings too soon? So ridiculous. Let the kids be kids. Spencer and Emma are not even teenagers yet. Not happy about this at all.

Spencer probably learned about Player from his grandma Leslie…he couldve also found out about them on utube…when i was his age i knew about older generation music performers like the Andrew Sisters and Rudy Vallee so Spencer could easily know about Player especially with todays internet which i didnt have back then. However, i do agree kids should be written as kids…Britains Coronation Street is the best soap that writes kids as kids…our soap writers should take lessons from the British!!!

Just because children are elementary age doesn’t mean they can’t be taught about music predating their parents’ youth. Our family is musical & we certainly know about, & introduce our kids to, music that is older than their grandparents. My kids have been listening to songs from the Supremes, John Denver, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, & the Doobie Brothers, in addition to Broadway classics & classical music, since they were little. Kids are like sponges with music.

One day of the Ball was okay, two days understandable, three days pushing it, four days totally unnecessary– sometimes a great concept gets ruin by over doing it.

And I don’t my mind children actors, but that little guy playing Spencer is over acting now, and the director needs to rein him in a bit.

As for Player being on– well I admit I always loved that song– reminds me of my youth– but basically RM was there to plug his new album and all the hype prior to his appearance was overkill.

But the oddest thing is after watching the Ball for three days going onto four I have developed a real craving for Yoplait Greek yogurt.

lol…i ate me some yogurt and had a glass of organic chocolate milk while watching the show!!!

I couldn’t agree more and Spencer grates on my every last nerve!

Hi Mary. Back in the glory days…five days of the Nurses Ball was a treat! When the acts focused on friends and family instead of filth and sleaze…when the show was written with some semblance of heart and humanity….when the message really was a social issue and relevant and important. This regime has turned it into an absurd farce. It is sad.

couldn’t disagree more. I LOVE this year’s Ball. I think it’s fun and playful and flirty…I think they’re doing a great job of interspersing the story lines into the each episode…

Brad trying to get Lucas back

Luke marrying Tracy

Ned trying to one-up faux Luke

Michael and Kiki siding with Ned

Maxie and Lulu friends again

Maxi and Detective Gorgeous and their budding attraction

Sonny and Olivia’s split

Lucy and Scott’s attraction

Liz and Rick and Nic and Britt

Spencer/Emma/Cameron

It’s all there nicely woven into song, dance, sassiness, sexiness…I think it’s great fun! And no…I don’t need a public service announcement or a heavy guide as to what the Ball is being thrown for. We all know that…in this fictional world they got their donations…there’s nothing wrong with a gala event to celebrate a worthy cause.

Kudos!

I absolutely love the children actors who play Emma Scorpio Drake and Spencer Cassadine! They are so incredibly cute and talented! I’d much rather see their childhood “love” story play out than Michael and Kiki’s boring relationship and Shawn and Jordan’s boring secret drama. I loved seeing Player perform, too! Was upset to have the carrot dangled in front of us regarding Blackie Parish. I think the writers have solidified that once John Stamos hears what was written about Blackie, it is doubtful that he will ever return for a guest appearance. I didn’t quite understand the performer who performed at the Haunted Star who Lulu helped to get perform. I was a little lost on that one. Liked Sam, Lulu, and Maxie’s performance, too. LOVED Eddie Maine!

One thing I have not cared for regarding this year’s Nurse’s Ball-how the Ball is being focused on the recurring characters of Brad, Felix, and Lucas. I just don’t care. I did like Brad’s performance, though. I do like his friendship with Britt.

I like Brads friendship with Britt…hope they remain roomies!!!

Yeah…agreed! Focusing so much of the ball….which is supposed to raise awareness and money for AIDS and HIV…on three gay characters is all kinds of inappropriate. Brad is a character who tried to blackmail Michael…a victim of brutal male prison rape…into non consensual sex…essentially raping him all over again. Lucas is a stranger who has been off the canvas for 8 years a d engaged in sodomy with Brad the first night they met. Felix is a nurse who has hit on male patients and refused to help a male patient. So….yeah….that’s what the Nurses Ball is now. Sad. Focused on characters into attempted rape and sodomy. And some of it even played for laughs. I hope Claire Labine is NOT watching this depravity. She created storylines and this event of epic proportions only to see it ruined by two egomaniacal gay show runners.

Brad and Britt as BFF’s is just too cute. Never thought I would warm to Mr. Cooper, but Parry Shen has done a marvelous job of redeeming his character and making him likeable….and his song was adorable! I. too, was greatly surprised at how entertaining he was. As for Felix, cannot stand him…never could, never will….oh, and who died and made him emcee???? As if there were no one else who could have taken command of the room given all the vets present???? (Or Dr. O. could have swooped in and taken charge…..LOL)

Johnny I hope you are not implying that HIV/AIDS and gays are connected somehow.Plus if you don’t like Lucas,Felix and Brad then don’t watch when they’re on.As for RC and FV people can complain that they are ruining the show but i don’t think their sexuality should come into play.

Bringing Ronn Moss from Player on to portray Ronn Moss from Player? Nice! I mean some people thought FOR SURE that he was going to be Blackie Parish a character that nobody in the current cast has any ties to or even cares about. Worse yet, some people who shall remain delusional, even thought that good ole Ron C was going to bring Ronn Moss in as a recast of Frisco Jones! Yes people were actually wasting their time ranting, fretting and sweating that THAT was going to happen. I think many wanted these things to happen so they could attack Ron Carlivati and Frank Valentini because they have nothing better to do.
Too bad. It didn’t happen. Instead a pretty decent band came out and sang a pretty decent song that many remember. It was enjoyable. However we will never hear the complainers say that because that would be giving the bosses at GH some kudos. Can’t have that now can we? I hope Ron and Frank make these kinds of singing appearances a NB staple, right? Maybe next year Michael Damien singing “Rock On”? Or have Rick Springlfield or Player come back in future years.

I had no problem with Ronn Moss…hearing ‘Baby Come Back’ made me creaky old bones feel like a teen again…well almost, lol

I remember in the 80’s, Jack Wagner singing a lot on GH as Frisco Jones. Loved it. In the 90’s, there was Eddie Maine and Miguel at Luke’s and the Outback. Oh, and Mary Mae. Miss those days. Loved seeing Player. Hadn’t heard any of the rumors about Moss, besides that Player might perform or he had something to do with Faux Luke’s storyline-which I didn’t quite grasp. What happened to the Haunted Star? Would love to see Fridays at the Star with musical performances. (Not Kiki though, please not Kiki).

“Wouldn’t It Be Nice” if next year “Blackie Parrish” actually shows up in the person of John Stamos and brings along his buddies, “The Beach Boys?” “God Only Knows” if that could ever happen as long as Ron C. prevails, but it would certainly bring some “Good Vibrations” to the NB! ; )

I kind of knew Ronn Moss wasn’t going to be playing Blackie even though most people assumed he was.Plus i liked the entertainment on the show and i think the actors enjoyed just having fun.I hope no one was expecting Grammy awarding singing from the performers.Plus there was drama and romance at the ball too.

I sincerely hoped that Ronn Moss was not playing Blackie, simply because I thought him to be far too good of a person to stoop to the low, vengeful tactics of Ron and Co., and I am so glad he did not disappoint. I enjoyed him during his years as Ridge and even though he supposedly chose to leave his own show “for good,” he knows what it is like for an iconic character’s shoes to be filled by another actor….I couldn’t envision him “playing” such a role against another guy in a similar situation. While I enjoyed his singing performance, it did seem rather out-of-place given the song in question is almost ancient….perhaps it would have also been better if the set-up would have been for Spencer to dedicate the tune to his father and Britt….that would have been a much sweeter “awwww” moment, since I do hope those two eventually reunite!

Well if the show wanted Ronn Moss to play Blackie i think he would have whether he liked it or not.As for the character of Blackie he had fans but i wouldn’t consider him an iconic character.Also i’m wondering if the fans love for Blackie has more to do with John Stamos who played him and less about the character himself.For example would fans rather have John Stamos come back as Blackie or just come back no matter who he is playing?

I guess we’ll never know for sure, andrew, but I think most actors would not be thrilled to do a cameo recast if it were solely intended to be so personally mean-spirited. The soap community is ever shrinking, and those in it are probably far more aware of the back story of Ron C. and his petty grievance with JS than are we….perhaps RM is even acquainted with JS, since both are also musicians. At any rate, I’m glad Moss didn’t go there….the little slams at B&B were fine…but past that, it would have appeared unseemly to me. As for your question about the character of Blackie, all I can say is that for me, it’s John’s role, and I couldn’t accept anyone else playing him. Both he and his bandmate Jack Wagner (as Frisco Jones) were very integral to the storylines of the ’80’s…they had some cool tunes that created quite a soundtrack for GH, and so I have wonderful memories of both of them. The only downer was Blackie’s send-off since he was carted to jail for the manslaughter death of his girlfriend….so it obviously was not a happy ending. Very little was said about him in subsequent years, hence it would definitely be a kick to see him in an updated fashion back in Port Charles, but as far more than a redux of his drummerboy persona! I can certainly understand why JS wanted something more substantial for Blackie….it has been 30 years! Even soap heartthrobs have to grow up…LOL! As for the man himself, I think he’s adorable, I love his OIKOS GREEK yogurt ads! But that’s about as far it goes for me….I didn’t closely follow his career much after GH, because I was not into the type of sitcom from which he became famous, but having said that, I championed him and his return to the show that launched him for two reasons….first, nostalgia!…and secondly, because I am really sick of the cheap shots that Ron seems to delight in taking at so many of our beloved legacy characters and the actors who portrayed them….I simply don’t get it. If you don’t like them, then just don’t write for them, but to have to repeatedly denigrate the names and reputations of these people is childish, offensive, unnecessary and not one bit funny. I realize that backstage feuds are as old as Hollywood itself, but usually they are not played for such public consumption….especially time and time again. I can understand “things” happen between individuals and occasionally affect the product that we the audience see, but this is a well-established pattern, and I cannot believe that all of the guys that Ron appears to have a beef with are so unprofessional as to have earned his wrath….Stamos, Wagner, Springfield, and Kanan have each found plenty of work outside of GH, so it wouldn’t seem that they are the problem here. Just saying….

Shay i agree with you that personal grudges should not be dragged into producing a soap but that goes both ways.RC shouldn’t let his personal feelings interfere with how he writes the show but on the other hand if actors have a problem with him they should say so and stick to it.For example after Sean Kanan went after the writing that he got on GH he kind of backtracked on his comments and even said he wished everyone at GH including RC well.As for John Stamos i don’t begrudge him that he may have wanted more to do than just play drums or whatever but the show only wanted him back for the 50th.Who knows maybe if he had agreed maybe the show would have been open to bringing him back again and even longer next time.As for Jack Wagner when he returned last year i think it was reported that he knew it was only for 10 episodes or so and he’s the one who criticized the show first i think and not the other way around.Plus if Wagner had a problem with how the show used him then he should have said something when he was still there and not wait till after he left to trash the show in the press.Finally RC is the head writer at GH but he have people below him who also help write the show.So it could be interesting to find out how much of an episode is really RC’s writing and how much it isn’t.As head writer he gets the full credit when things go rights and the full blame when things go wrong.IMO that is wrong but it is the way it is.

You make some very valid points about the dynamics between Ron C and the actors in question. I actually had no problem with Sean Kanan’s comments because they pretty much reflected what most fans had been saying for a long time, and they weren’t outrageous, childish or petty….just matter-of-fact. I imagine he backtracked simply to put an end to the controversy that grew out of the idiotic Twitter stuff that followed….and I do think he wanted to leave GH on as classy a note as possible. Ditto for Jack Wagner….he stated he did not speak up sooner about his deep disappointment in the treatment of Frisco because he did not wish to detract from the show’s 50th Anniversary celebration, so I credit him for being gracious in that respect. The stuff with Stamos (both last and particularly, this year…) was simply uncalled for….even if there was disagreement about the nature of a possible return for Blackie. As to what the deal with Springfield is, I don’t know. He has made periodic visits to the show quite a few times, but since the last one, his character has suddenly been trashed. That’s what I don’t like about any of these instances….the backstage happenings should be kept there, not projected on the screen or Twitter for public consumption, and especially not in such a punitive manner. It is insulting to the fans, as well as the actors who brought these beloved characters to life.

I agree that Sean Kanan probably wanted to leave GH on a good note and decided he had nothing to gain by trashing RC because he could have looked a little bad doing it.As for his issues with John Stamos i think RC should now let that go.In a few months this might all be forgotten as fans focus on other things to complain about.Now RC shouldn’t use his position as head writer to embarrass actors.Now if actors attack him or his writing first then he has every right to defend himself but not by using the show to do it.Also we are assuming that RC is the only one at the show that has problems with John Stamos,Jack Wagner and/or Rick Springfield.RC is the head writer but i’m wondering how much face to face time he really spends with the actors.FV who is the executive producer might deal with the actors more personally than RC does.So RC may have issues with some actors but so may FV in some instances.Plus Jack Wagner last year criticized both FV and RC last year i think by saying they misled the fans regarding the returning actors for the 50th anniversary.

the performance i enjoyed the most and was surprise by was Brad, it was funny. then one i didn’t think was funny was epiphany stupping on Mr. Marbles, sorry mr. fairman, but i didn’t think epiphany was speaking for me when she stump on Mr. Marbles, i thought it came across as cruel, maybe i missed the joke, i always thought that Mac was the only one who thought Mr. Marbles was “funny”, yet i don’t get how everyone cheering on epiphany the bully now is suppose to be “funny”? half the people in the room are suppose to be Macs friends, is that what “friends” do? they cheer and get up an applaud when you get humiliated on live tv and made the towns joke? i must be missing something on the Mr. Marbles back story? is he suppose to creep people out? i was more creeped out by Epiphany the bully, and Bobbie getting up to apploud with her scary face, more people in that room were more plastic then Mr. Marbles, well regardless, i don’t care for Mr. Marbles either, my point was why did everyone feel ok humiliating Mac? thats my only question. DR. O got shown more respect. as for Ronn Moss, i was one of those haters who said he was plastic, well, i m eating my words, i’m prove that misjudging someone you don’t know is only a missurvice to yourself, i found him quite the looker and love the song, i must admit i wasn’t familiar with his band whatsoever and i’ve only seen gliimpses of his work on the BB.

I agree about “Mr. Marbles.” LOL…sad but true. It wasn’t funny and it was mean-spirited. I think Mac should be respected by friends and the community…it would have been sweeter, perhaps funnier…if Mac did his routine and we saw the crowd squirm or participate or somehow turn Mac and Marbles into some zany group number or something. That was the ONLY part of this Ball I didn’t like.

That thing with spencer and Emma is kind of cute but they are pitching it as a major storyline and how pathetic must gh be? Yesterday was awful loved seeing ron moss tho

The kids storyline, in which they are given the task of acting like little adults, is becoming creepy. Cute for a day or two, but now total schtick. In reality kids of this age are not enamored of the opposite sex. The tango didn’t work, Spencer is way overused and this storyline need to be over.

Sadly, the Blackie reference, and Ephiphany and Mr. Marbles, were cringe-worthy. Why the Gomez guy singing? Is he a real singier plugging his music? Do the Nurse Ball right, please!

I agree with you 100%…Enough with this kids storyline..I actually find the character of little Spencer irritating.

Spencer is more than irritating. He is repugnant with his over-acting and scene hogging. I really CANNOT STAND this child.

Sad that so much screen time is given to these three kids, when GH has an abundance of ADULT actors that could use storylines of their own.

I agree with you, Anne….the kiddie thing appears to be a weird obsession with this bunch. I find it neither amusing nor entertaining. If the writers deem these children and their frivolous farce of a relationship to be that essential to future storylines, then just SORAS them and be done with it. They are all wearing out their welcome anyway….I am truly tired of Spencer’s constant nonsense and Emma is simply overbearing. Particularly since the NB was supposed to be held in honor of her REAL mother, Robin Scorpio Drake….which seemed to be almost completely forgotten. Once again, it had to be all about the weeping, whining nurse in the end….as if it were really necessary to close the show with that annoying song from the non-wedding, just to remind us of that miserable event once more, along with the cringe-inducing sing-along, group hug and “happy family tableau” at the NICU…..all this forced fuss over a very obviously instant pregnancy of convenience and a preposterous faux-bebe’ who looks about as real as a Cabbage Patch doll! No wonder so few are invested in this tot’s tribulations…..none of it seems realistic. Ridiculous, just….ridiculous!!!!!!

I had to fast forward most of it, that performance by the girls was absolutely cringe inducing. I also find it hard to believe in 2014 a little boy would get Player to serenade his little girlfriend, just stupid.

For the record, if I want to be entertained by obnoxious little kids I can go hang out with my nieces and nephews.

No doubt. A little kid would have gotten One Direction. Seeing a bunch of 60 year olds in tank tops and mullets is as creepy as Fluke trying to rape Kiki. This show is so far out of touch with what viewers want it is mind boggling. I swear….Ron Carlivati has been possessed by James E. Reilly and that is NOT a good thing! Ron is on the path to loving and glorifying evil almost as much as James did. Plot driven farcical filth.

They would have to sell a lot of Greek yogurt to get One Direction to perform on a soap— but am surprised they didn’t use the occasion to cross promote some Disney Channel star– someone the kids on the show might actually watch.

Scott shouldve got Player to perform that song and dedicate it to Lucy which wouldve made more sense…i remember a ‘Little House’ episode with Laura Ingals being jealous of the attention her new baby brother was getting from her father and felt guilty and ran away when the baby died…GH shouldve done a similiar story with Emma…she would feel guilty about disliking the baby because she wanted a sister and blames herself when the baby becomes seriously ill…she runs away and Spenser manages to hide her at Windmere until Cameron finds her and tells Nik…a story involving children this way would be more interesting…imo…not a downsized B&B Hope/Liam/Wyat type love triangle…Epiphanys attack on the puppet(i was suprised the puppet didnt come alive and go after her Chucky style) was completely stupid but if were to reimagine the scene as Epiphany attacking the real dummy…Ron Carlivati…then the scene actually works…lol

Glorify evil? Well, yes, as a matter of fact that is precisely what today’s GH does.

I think the whole Ball was pretty lame and missing something. I think Finola Hughes facial expressions during the whole thing sums it up — she looked as bored as I was watching & I must say, even a bit embarrassed. The performances were awful except maybe the men doing their number. The songs were awful & cheesy.
Hey Player, the 70’s want their hairstyles back …. really, the mullet & tank tops? oopf!

The whole Ball lacked energy.

I also think they totally missed the whole point of it which is for HIV/AIDS — so couldn’t they get Kimberly McCullough to at least tape a video for the Ball before she left ?
And where was Patrick?

I couldn’t care less about Olivia and her constipated look on her face. I so don’t see any chemistry between Olivia & Sonny so don’t care.

Two Thumbs down.

Well I have to say the build up to R Moss coming to GH fizzled… I was not a great fan, and I really hoped there was no mask coming off! The worst part of the whole thing was Spencer thanking him for singing for Emma…and then plugging his new CD! LOL!!! OMG…the shameless self promotion was hysterical!

Not sure why John Stamos would not come back, though we heard all kinds of things last year, but that was a terrible approach… don’t announce and get our hopes up….

Why the bad blood with Jack Wagner?

They wanted John Stamos to come back and play the drums on the Jack Wagner song, but he wanted more of a storyline to come back for.

The precocious kid storyline is dumb and dumber- can we go back to regular programming now? I thought the Blacky hanger tease was a dirty trick. Does GH really need to do that to have viewers return for the next episode? The problem GH is having is too many characters, and characters that suddenly disappear because of too many storylines.

Mr. Marbles needs to be taken to GH STAT! That ws really ignorant and aLOW point in the Ball to have Epiphany murder the doll! TOTALLY inappropriate for an uplifting charity event! Bad Job Writers!

LOL…agree!

it was a caricature of Britt “bar-b-que-ing” Emma’ doll

be that as it may

I was sad for my Big Mac

I’d laugh and ham it up for him… and get the rewards in just time

Mr. Marbles shouldve came to life like Chucky and chased Epiphany out of the nurses ball…lol

Well I for one approved of Spenser thinking outside the box, and I feel there will be more than one reunion because of that Ballad!!!!

Ah come on Rob… He’s a prince remember…..besides it’s a soap expect the unexpected

From the moment Lucy announced Blackie Parrish would be performing, and then that didn’t happen, I was done with the episode, but I decided to watch it through and I actually liked the ELQ part where Ned, Michael and Kiki (which is still a stupid name IMO) stuck it to Luke. Other than that, I didn’t like the episode at all. The Mr. Marbles “murder” part was childish and poorly written, Player’s performance was okay, but the conversation afterwards between Spencer and Ronn Moss was stupid. That petty remark about B&B was immature and the whole Spencer/Emma/Cameron story gets way too much airtime… it’s like a younger version of B&B’s Liam/Hope/Wyatt story.

So….that’s the screen time and the storyline they give to a 30 year vet…Kristina Wagner…and a 23 year vet…John J. York…ridiculous scenes involving a murdered dummy. Wow! These are actors who carried the show through some of the best years and this is the drivel they are given to play. I don’t know who should be more embarrassed…the writer for writing it or the actors being forced to play it.

The Haunted STARlets :

Sam : Maxie : Mollie : Lulu : Kiki

loved Sam’ smokey eyes : Maxie hair extensions : Kiki, I daresay, she actually looked good

Britt to Nicholas : “I miss you, I made a mistake, are you: ever going to forgive me”

I didn’t mind the band : Player… it was an appropriate song for daytime… Baby come Back : was their biggest single… and went GOLD… and went #1 and even top 10 soul

seems like things are winding down

todays features

Haunted Starlets
Britt and Nicholas
Brad and Lucas

Ron Moss didn’t look so bad… with his band

I love ALL of the Ball..
Everybody did a great job..
Most of all I had fun watching!!

amd for kerist sake you cry babies, whiners, unpleasant bellyaching people, go away or stop acting like spoiled brats..
No one likes an unpleasant complainer..

The Nurses Ball was spectacular !! I smiled, I loved it …

Brad stole the show for me. Love him even more. Must say I so love Britt now too !!!

They play off each other so well.

yes

If I have to tout… the new regime… and : after the bait and switch… histrionics..

GH production… has to follow through… with their “new” intent…and

that’s go with the flow and go with the times

Dr. O
Britt
Brad

are mainstays

I LOVE the vets… theres no denying that

Mac and Felicia
Kevin…. should be with Tracy… but… if it’s a fight for Lucy
Scotty and Lucy ??? !!!! her quirkiness is becoming more oddity… let her deal with LOVE

Tracy and Luke : this is the feature… after the fact : just hope Ned checks in more often

theres no going back… it’s Nicholas and Britt… you can’t go wrong with this pairing.
try as hard as you will

this gives Liz and Ric… some fire… passion… wrong side of the tracks/law no holds barred… FIRE

Brad’s a keeper… I certainly hope… that the actor who portrays Lucas… isn’t dissapointed… this is a LONG one hour serial… and not all can be featured… as one would like… Brad’ the key to this threesome…. and I like it

I often wonder… if the new regime… GH production… are just waiting and ready to venture forward.. without all the ready recall… LOL… fan lambast.. that’s OK… they have to find a way to mix in .. vets plus newbies.. with CONTINUITY

intrigue… love… romance… it’s my way or the highway… I dare myself to mix

Absolutely great. Spencer is truly going to be like his father. I love GH even the weird storyline. Please let the writing get better. Brit n Nathan’s mother is a trip. Is Nathan’s father Victor Cassadine? Please get rid of Maxie new friend.

I enjoyed the band Player and most of the singing. I didn’t care for nurse E’s scene(s). It was offensive to me that the “Black” woman had to be the one to destroy Mr. Marbles in front of everyone or the part where she was the one yelling out for the guys to take off their undies (tasteless). I also think the kids scenes are too “mature.” They, especially Emma and Spenser, talk like grownups. It wasn’t cute to hear a girl Emma’s age tell Spenser that she came with Cameron and she was leaving with him. Back in the day the show was filled with drama and excitement. Now it just seems to be repeating itself. Where is Carly’s daughter? I don’t care for the new Franco. I cried during Dr. O’s song to her children. That was touching. Come on GH get more creative.

I know I read that ronn moss used to be in a band before he was on the bold and the beautiful I didn’t know it was player.!!!! He still looked like ridge forrester ridge forrester
trying to win back logan. Except this is general hospital. How does Nicholas know player and why would spencer be able to get them to sing.? GH should bring Courtney back to life for one day so she can see her son, she wouldn’t believe it!!!!

Am I just a horrible human being… but I am soooo tired of the little kids. They were cute for a few episodes but now every time time I see them I just want to lose it. Fast foward baby! They are cute, but that’s not why I watch soaps… I want to see the adults.

I’m going to go hang my head in shame.

Cameron didn’t come till 04 he would only be ten. Morgan and Molly where around longer

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dex and Josslyn’s Relationship at a Crossroad, Jason Contacts Diane For Help

Previews for the week of March 18-22nd on General Hospital, plus the latest promo for the daytime drama series, share that Jason’s (Steve Burton) return has already affected so many lives, especially given the fact that several key people aka Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Danny (Asher Antonyzn) know his location at this moment.

Eventually, Jason (Steve Burton) will get in touch with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), from what one can only assume is legal help. However, John (Adam J. Harrington) seems hot on Jason’s trail, but the question remains, if Jason was working for John as seemingly revealed in a flashback to keep out of prison, are the two working together … or are they mortal enemies?

Meanwhile, it looks like its curtain for now in the relationship between Dex (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). After Nina (Cynthia Watros) dropped a bombshell about Cyrus (Jeff Kober), Joss gets an earful of information from Dex, when he admits that he was in Cyrus’s hospital room to kill him on orders from Sonny (Maurice Benard).

According to Soap Opera Digest, Eden McCoy shared, ” I think what’s different about this situation, and what pushes her over the edge, is that it wasn’t, like, a self-defense situation. It wasn’t at a shoot-out. He wasn’t protecting Sonny. Cyrus wasn’t doing anything! And I think that really scares her, to see him in the light of voluntarily killing someone in their sleep. That is very different from, like, shooting someone that’s shooting at Sonny. She is just in shock, like she can’t actually believe it.” As told by McCoy, “At that point, Josslyn says.’I can’t do this anymore,’ and makes her exit.”

Take a look below at the rest of the official teasers for the week.

REPORT: General Hospital Alum, Robyn Bernard, Homeless & Battling Addiction, Before Her Passing at 64

Robyn Bernard passed away earlier this week on March 12th, when her body was found in an empty field, which is allegedly behind a 7/11, and some trailer homes, in San Jacinto, California. The actress and singer, and former General Hospital alum, played Terry Brock from 1984-1990 and was 64-years-old at the time of her death.

New reporting on the life that she led over the past year, and longtime mental health issues and struggles with addiction, paint a picture that may have led to her death. Although it should be noted, the toxicology report is currently not completed or released. However, the sheriff department stated that no foul play is suspected.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, friends of Bernard spoke on how she had become part of their homeless community, and that she she struggled with alcohol addiction, and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia through the latter part of her life.

In their accounts, things went south for Robyn when in 2014 she moved to the community in San Jacinto, which is 84 miles from Los Angeles. At that time, she moved into a trailer park for senior citizens and was beloved for her singing by her neighbors.

The report also notes that in 2015, tragically, Bernard’s trailer park home was burned to the ground taking 7 of her 8 beloved cats and all of her possessions. After that, Robin stayed with many people of the community, but the previous management chased her off of the premises. She then broke up with her boyfriend and eventually stopped communicating with her parents.

Bernard’s final home was in a community called Parkview Estates, facilitated by Riverside County’s Adult Protective Services Department.  According to police records obtained by Daily Mail, through 2017-2019, Bernard faced numerous DUI drugs and alcohol arrests during that period.

Joni Woods, who lives opposite the space where Bernard’s trailer once was said: ‘I used to see her (Robyn) around town all the time pushing her shopping carts. She always had four or five of them, and I always felt so bad for her.” Robyn’s former boyfriend, Dan Berlin, expressed that the last time he had seen the GH alum was two years ago, “She was out there, talking to herself in a nonsense way. She was a schizophrenic.’

The friends of Bernard shared: “She used to say that Hollywood screwed her over,” adding, “They did her dirty and that’s why she ended up living in San Jacinto of all places.”

Share your thoughts on this tragic story of the last part of Robyn’s life, which again, stresses the importance of trying to find the appropriate help for those dealing with mental illness, being homeless, and addiction.

Sam (Kelly Monaco), his lady love, is by his side and beside herself after learning her ex Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is alive and is of the belief that Jason have been the shooter who tried to take out Dante.
