First, Congrats and Best Wishes to Sofia and Thomas. I really like Sasha now and find her heroic in many ways. Sofia is a terrific actress and meshes well with the other actors/characters especially Chase, Willow, Michael, Nina, and even Cyrus. I look forward to seeing what’s next for her…besides Gladys’ selfish machinations. Talk about a monster-in-law!

Congrats to Sofia and Thomas on your pregnancy. Sofia you will be missed while you’re away – take your time and enjoy your new arrival soon. I kinda figured she was maybe pregnant. Sasha seemed to be showing rather quickly after doing it with Brando. Love Brando and Sasha together…. I hope GH can make them work, and be a new super couple on the show. Much luck and best wishes to you Sofia and Thomas.

Congratulations! This actress has really improved, and in accordance, Sasha has really grown on me. There is just an inherent sense of sweetness, genuineness, and humility which breathes through her character. I’ll take Sasha over that phony, insincere, poser, Willow. I love Brando and Sasha together but Michael and Willow? Suffice to say, Millow makes me Ill- low.

Thank you, Harry. I’m so tired of Michael getting all these women, when Chase is a far better person. Not to mention far more attractive. At least Chase isn’t a typical Corinthos hypocrite. I hate what they’ve done to Willow.

Soaphound, also Harry, SuOOO
Seems like we all agree on this Willow, Michael, Chase fiasco. They should have told Chase about Willow and Michael’s re-newed love, it certainly wouldn’t have killed him back then, but now we also all know that when Finn saves his life as we know now he will, Chase will believe it was all Willow’s love that did it. My God, it’s so predictable. Don’t get me started on Abby and her custom made baby and missing husband, yuk!!

Harry…I really like Willow, have since day one for the same reasons you like Sasha…who I also like. But add her integrity, caring for others, fighting for Wiley, and how she has stood up for herself in a quiet way compared to other ladies in GH since taking on Valentine and Nina when in defence of a student being bullied by their daughter when she was teaching.

Hey Rose! I agree with you. Willow was my favorite new character. The actress is damn good too. I loved her as the dedicated school teacher who was fighting to get her life back after suffering the tragic loss of her baby and her traumatic past with the sexually abusive cult leader Shiloh. And I really, really liked her with Chase. But her coupling with Michael is kind of nauseating to me. It didn’t help that the writers had to constantly have Willow remark on the power of Michael’s sexual prowess. I find Michael to be an incredibly dull character who is played by a lackluster actor. Now, with Willow being all self- sacrificial in marrying an apparently dying Chase, her complexity has been forfeited. And now she’s coming off as an uninteresting Disney Princess. I’ve never cared for Disney princesses.

Harry…I don’t mind Michael, but I think he was better with Sasha. But that boat has sailed. Now I like her better with Brando. But his mom is going to be an expected soap problem. Another thing about Michael I don’t like is how he can be the sooo honorable Q, but at the same time seems okay with Sonny’s business. Big contradiction that even showed up again in his recent conversation with Carly about her holding the Corinthos business together until Jason can take over. But don’t let me get started on that. And I never would want to be a princess, Disney or other.

You too, Harry?

Hi Nancy! Let’s put Willow back in the classroom and back with Chase. Michael is the kids of death for this character.

I knew something was off–
The baby bump is way too big for her GH pregnancy.
And the pregnancy story was noticeably rushed, not a lot of sense to it-
And–
Too many dumb baby stories going on-
Maxie’s story seems to have the most oomph to it-
The barf-bag story is Y&R Abby– that story is sickening.
Y&R supposedly the #1 soap and that’s the best they have to offer, sigh.
((worse than the music box story lol))
Congrats to Sofia and Thomas !

You mean Abby and her invisible husband? I fully expect the Y&R’s casting department to purchase a male mannequin so we can watch Abby make out with it. That’s how bizarre, and yet dull, this whole storyline is. I fast forward through the Abby scenes.

I’m with you here, Su000. Other than some token scenes with Nina, the Abby story is unbearable and feels like it’s gone on longer than four pregnancies! Maxie’s tale (along with some BRILLIANT acting) is far more compelling.

I haven’t watched the soaps for as long as both of you- but
Abby’s baby story has to be the worst/fail soap story ever.
It’s total roadkill..
beyond stupid- it’s a brain bleed.
The writers of that story are chin deep in embarrassment and shame.

(((( It’s worse than Plan 9 from Outer Space LOL
I luv that movi e it’s so horribly bad that it’s totally Awesome! lol
but Abby’s baby story is 100% junk))))

Yay, Su000, I also LOVVVE “PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE”, such delightful fun! My favorite bits are the changes in night and day in the same scene. And Bela Lugosi’s “replacement double” is priceless. How about that makeshift shower curtain in the airplane cockpit? I also get a laugh when I watch “NORMA RAE”, one of my FAVORITE films, and see Gregory Walcott as Sheriff Lamar arresting Sally Field. What fun memories he must have had!

Bah ha ha ha! Soap hound! I see what you did there.

I also think between the three soaps there are too many baby stories going on. With Abby and Chance being the most boring. Sorta feel sorry for Abby starting with the Chance actor having to be switched around, to having a happy marriage but not able to have a baby, to Chance leaving right after the honeymoon and all of the filler space in between.

Congrats. Very happy news.

Best wishes for you, hubby and new baby.I am loving the SL with Sasha and Brando but we know Gladys will be the mother-in-law from hell. I thought Brando was good at reading his mother, but since she got shot, he’s kind of softened towards her.

You got that right, Violet? Did you see that look Gladys gave? She is a snake in the grass, all right!

‘General Hospital’s’ Josh Swickard Stars in Faith-Based ‘The Space Between Us’ as The Man Who Has an Affair with a Married Woman

Published

Josh Swickard

While General Hospital’s Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) marriage to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has seemingly come to an end based on trust issues, and his unrelenting believe of the innocence of his ex-wife Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) when she has committed heinous crimes, Josh Swickard is also being featured in another story on another platform in the new faith-based movie, The Space Between Us.

In the streaming feature now on the Angel platform, Swickard is playing Levi Boone, a handsome young solider, who finds himself attracted to a married woman played by Jennifer Taylor. The two have an affair. The movie made it’s debut last week on October 8.

According to the loglines, “The Space Between Us dives deep into modern relationships, following marriages straining under the heavy weight of busyness, unmet expectations, and spiritual disconnection. Described as a story of grace in the mess, the film takes a grounded, deeply relatable look at how even the best intentions can fall apart—and how faith, strong community, and honest vulnerability can bring true healing.”

In a cast interview, which features Swickard, Taylor and Kristoffer Poloha, the trio discussed their thoughts on betrayal in marriage, and who’s right and who’s wrong and more.

Josh Swickard explains, “The audience can get it from a lot of sides too where we can show it, and if you have crossed that line in your marriage. it doesn’t have to be over. And when two people are willing to work, anything’s possible. Not giving the end away. I’m just saying. It could happen. It could happen. People can end up together.”

Meanwhile, Kristoffer Poloha added, “Like, wait a minute, but this other guy steps in and I think passion takes over. I think what you see is how easy it is to stumble. Whether it’s adultery or whether it’s another type of sin, you can basically burn your house down in many different ways and how quickly it is to light that fire.”

The Space Between Us is from Canyon Productions. The company delivers faiith-based media designed to encourage, inspire, and uplift viewers along their spiritual journeys. By showcasing the genuine struggles and eventual triumphs of relatable characters facing tough real-world challenges, Canyon aims to create projects that point audiences directly toward hope and perseverance.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

Published

Trina and Spencer

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!

The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup).  Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …

It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris.  With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”

In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.

As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.

BACK FROM THE DEAD?

After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.

So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’?  Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.

This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED

When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.

In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”

When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).

Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!

So, glad to see Brad Cooper and Selina Wu back in action? Do you hope they stay for a bit? What do you think of Josslyn getting the piers? Is this how she sets out to destroy Sonny? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
