I’ll be the first one to say it….

There’s no Genie Francis in that cheesy ad. Isn’t she supposed to be back for the summer?

Only when h#!! freezes over…any approximation on when that shall be happening, Satan?

The best cast in daytime! Long live GH!

Love GH, been watching from beginning. HOPE IT STAYS ON FOREVER, Great photos of cast, especially Sonny!

Curtis is totally wasted with Jorden, as a couple, they could bore the hair off of a statue.

Finn and Anna suck– fluttering Anna and lovesick Finn are quite empty.
Finn and Alexis were/are way more vibrant and interesting.

Poor Michael no matter who they put him with he is always ehhh.

Valentin is a wussy.. the Devil Incarnate is a lovesick puppy and he brings whimpy shame to the Cassidines.

Franco has lost his sharp edge being paired with mama Liz.

and- Griff, every time he’s upset with Ava his face looks like he’s painfully constipated.

Sam and Jason are a fail, nuff said.

GH needs to dump its stale boring couples and start over, with new ideas, new writers.
Bottom line; GH couples are gawdawful terrible.

(whew! that felt good! ahaaa! let er rip! 🙂

The only ‘villain’, the bad guy that GH can churn out is Nelle well that’s really sad and another ehhh.

I agree with you on everything…

hi Jimh-
You have watched the soaps for decades,,
I’m sure you will know these couples.
((we were discussing soap couple, and after I was sent this list of awesome couples informing me they were couples that was never boring and that they put the now boring GH couples to shame.(I’m not familiar with them)
Luke and Laura
Cliff and Nina
Greg and Jenny
Jesse and Angie
Tad and Dixie
Jesse and Angie
Dimitri and Erica
Bianca and Maggie
Ken and Deirdre
Jack and Jennifer
Jax and Brenda
Nikolas and Emily
Lucky and Elizabeth
John Paul and Craig
(what you think- then and now??)

Those were great couples…unlike today!!!!

Yeah, Jimmy….SuzieQ does have a way with words….LOL.
But, tonight, I am in such a good mood, I can even kiss Carly, Sonny and Peter.
I was in Elmont, Ny ( Belmont Park) today….my gorgeous hose, Justify, won!!!!!!! Muscle and sinew… He won the Triple Crown, y’all!!!!!!
I thought I’d die….lost my voice screaming like a mad-woman…..he won by two lengths!! Imagine that!!!!!!!.
My beautiful winner!! ,…..3-year old colt –best show ever!!
I’m ready for the Grand Slam in November.

Congratulations…i wasnt so lucky today-i lost at bingo!!!

HaHaHaHa….there’s my Jimmy coming back with one of his “too funny” retorts!!!!! Good one, J.❤️

So then, CeeCee, are you one of the actual investors in Justify, or do you mean you simply bet on the winning horse??? Just wondering…oh, and I replied to your last comment on the Wes and Laura thread….please do check it out!

LOL, Shay….no, I am not a betting person, nor am I an investor, albeit members of my family are.
I just love horses with a passion. I love watching the fluidity of their every move—as I said; muscle and sinew—-beautiful!! Perfection!! Other than a panther, I don’t think there are species so proudly gorgeous…..the neck; the tilt of the head—stuff of poetry, if I were a poet, LOL.
Justify caught my eye since the day he became visible to the public.
I have always had my own horse—love riding….mainly quarter horses…the freedom is exhilarating, Shay, and the sensation is fresh and new each and every time.
I know it sounds ‘fairytailish’, but you do become one with your ride if the love and passion is there. Euphoric…
I lack words describing my personal feeling.
I will now check out the Wes/Laura thread…HaHa.
Ciao, bella.

I only asked because I grew up with a classmate whose family was into horse breeding, especially for racing purposes…they had a huge farm and her mother expended a great deal of effort to get us all interested in the equine lifestyle….lots of horseback riding activities, although I never caught the bug myself. Later, I had college friends who were into jumping and dressage events….again, not my thing, but I do understand the passion to which you allude…I’ve heard it all before. Happy riding, mia amica!

P.S. Meant to type “equestrian lifestyle!” Have to quit responding when I’m half-asleep!

^^^ Sonny and Carly pic. I am so – sick – of looking at their “mug” shots.. along w/Frank Valentini… this trio have forever ruined, General Hospital. they have no depth, no meaning, and lack character. Is Michael dead ? oy… good camera photoshop… YOUR dimpled one is not looking THAT good

SUNSHINE : IS there any thing SEXIER than Julian and Kim. NO unless Drew gets in the pic. nothing SEXIER

OK … ITS CHASE !

i’d like to see Frank Valentini : Shelley : Chris : tag in Jean… and see these 4 dullard hanging on the cross

they STINK… after all the Nurses’ ballin’. after the last place SINK. this is brass tacks time. cajones

Thank you Patrick. Drew and Chase are the only guys on GH who get my pulse racing.

No photo of Nellie? Hopefully she’ll be gone soon!

There are a lot of angry fans out there after viewing this. The Julexis fans aren’t happy. Where’s Ava? And Finn & Anna? Even Griffin is missing.

The Triangle of Passivity isn’t shown.

GH needs to develop their younger crowd. We need an older Cam hanging with Joss. We need Molly & TJ shown with Kiki & Chase.

I don’t dare head to Twitter to see the gazillions of complaints about them adding Wes Ramsey and Michelle Stafford to the main promo pic along with Sonny & Carly. I can’t remember if Finola has been in it before but good for them if they added her (although I expect she’s on very little this summer so it’s false advertising) and Wally (who I hope has story but I expect he doesn’t.) And the song: sunshine, good vibes, good times, LOL fans will have a field day with that one–as IF GH has even one ounce of fun or lightness in it these days.

The promo has been liked by less than 5% of the people who’ve seen it. Not a good sign

Did you see the 3 or 4 promo photos of Mr. and Mrs. Wright? Why? They aren’t a couple on the show. This is just ridiculous. Plus, he is in the group photo, next to his mama bear. Most of the people on social media dislike the actor and the character, and TPTB continue to give him story and on-air coverage, oh, and the summer promo feature.

No. I seriously try NOT to read the GH soap news on Twitter. It’s such a downer. I just come here and sometimes just scan the headlines to see if things are getting better. BUT I do follow a ton of soap fans on Twitter (we tweet Classic GH and watch it together) so I did have a pic of Wes & Laura landing on my TL that looked like a promo but a fan tweeted it out so I assumed it was a joke. Guess it’s not so funny anymore. I have absolutely nothing against the actor. I just don’t like story and his character which I’m sure is the case with most. However, when they flaunt how he was hired and his relationship with Laura, they’ve got to know it fans the flames for many people. I just get nauseated and completely tune out the news (I tuned out the show long ago.) I mean most Anna fans are paying attention only in hopes that they won’t damage her anymore and maybe reverse it at some point–and she is taking off for her summer break soon so anything that’s going to happen will happen right now.

Parking Lot Peter will soon be known as the Henrik Maneuver—now we have to endure yet another redemption storyline.

Now if GH would only change their boring opening credits to something more along the lines of this promo…even if it reminds me of AMC’s opening.

Pretty sure they won’t, because people would complain it’s too close to the openings for All My Children, etc.

Reminded me of AMC’s opening too.

The only moments i like on the show is Nelle and Dr. Lisel…Anna is used to prop poopy Peter The Scenery Eater…my doctor advise me to avoid the sun…maybe he means GH where its way to Sonny…watching Jason is like looking at a store manniquin(spelling)…already sick of Chase…he is now the only cop in town…i could go on but why bother…anyway, i rarely watch this show anymore!!!!

As usual, I agree, Jimmy….except for Chase. I understand how you would be tired of him….I get it. He is kept in the back burner….however, with Daddy in town, things will be stirred up, affording Chase’ s story to impact us, unexpectedly, with something outrageously spicy.
What about; Chase is really Finn’s son? Not his brother?
Imagine that, Jimmy!! LOL. It could happen.

LOVE GH WITH ALL MY HEART!!
THE PICS ARE PERFECT!!

Well, what it looks like is they have NO idea what stories they are going to “Write” for the upcoming summer. This summer, we want sun, not rain! Here is my breakdown:

Sun: Drew, Oscar and Kim. I totally forget Tamara was Carly. I really enjoy Kim.

Sun: Mike. He should try Dr. Maddox’s experimental procedure. He has nothing to lose. Lay
off the Croton BS!

Sun: Anna, Robert, Emma and Robin.

Sun: Julian, Lucas and Brad. Let the guys bond!

Sun: Chase and NuMaxie!

Rain: Valentin, Nina, Amy, Finn, Jordan, T.J., Molly and PETER! [7 out of 8 are Frank’s creations!]

PS: Could we go ONE summer day not hearing Morgan’s name and Epiphany bullying a cop?

I like it, T….but, Nina stays. LOL.
I had mentioned Maxie and Chase as a couple, too.
Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan!! HaHa.❤️

“The Moron” has taken over the show-in death!

Not too thrilled….looking forward to seeing Carly stew in prison. I only wish Sonny would go with her.
The courtroom setting was over the top for me……too staged, albeit, Nelle is killing it.
Carly vs. Nelle and vice versa….if looks could kill, guys!! Yet, I must admit the complete and utter riveting performace of both, was impeccable…..loved Elizabeth as the DA, as well…..is she assistant DA?
I found Ava’s scene, as a witness for the prosecution, kind of lame, not credible……surprisingly enough, her over -acting, bolstering Nelle’s fake defenseless demeanor, was a negative—she should not have tried so hard….Less is more.
I agree with su0000….Nelle is magnifique!!
I wanted to point out that, I get the feeling Michael has something up his sleeve. Does he question Nelle’s truth? ….or lack thereof? Is he pretending? Does he believe his mother? Is he giving Nelle a false sense of security before he pounces? Have I underestimated Michael as a dud? LOL.

I’m loving GH these days. So many different twists and turns and storylines. I TVo it every day so I can go back and look at different scenes just to make sure I don’t miss anything. Love these people.

Is FBI Agent John “Jagger” Cates on the Level? GH’s Finola Hughes, Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson Weigh-in

When John “Jagger” Cates resurfaced on General Hospital in recent months in the form of Adam J. Harrington taking over the role originally played Antonio Sabato Jr,. know one knew quite sure just what side of the law is Cates really on? And, is he back in Port Charles to settle old scores with Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Jason (Steve Burton)?

What viewers have learned is that when Jason was taken captive two and half years ago, back in November of 2021, he was taken to Quantico, where Agent Cates had multiple RICO violations on Jason and was going to send him to prison for years, unless he worked for Cates and his team, in which Jason has been an informant working on the inside on the Pikeman arms deal case, or so it appears.

Now on the latest episode of Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson’s Daily Drama podcast, Finola Hughes (Anna) stopped by to chat with her GH co-stars and all three weighed-in on just what they think maybe going on with John Cates.

Bradford Anderson brought up that maybe Agent Cates isn’t working on the level. Hughes responded, “I don’t know, I’m not sure.” Burton added, “Yeah, we’re not sure. There’s some unknowns coming, so we’ll figure that out. But, it’s been a fun story to play for sure. I really like it. A lot of layers to it. I’s been excellent stuff to be back with for sure.”

Finola added, “I think we’re gonna be going through finding out who certain people are that are coming on canvas, like John Cates and Brennan (Charles Mesure) and where do they all fit in?”

Steve added, “You’ve got Pikeman and what their real motives are. “Jagger” obviously. And then, Pikeman is not facing on-screen.” The question of if Pikeman is a person also got brought by Anderson, to which his co-stars added, they believe it’s a company.

Explaining more about Brennan and what he was up to was answered by Hughes,”That’s a sort of throwback, perhaps back in the day at WSB. He just came on the canvas briefly. Nobody knows if he’s goo (or bad). I (Anna) got him put in prison, so he’s off, and out of the way right now.”

You can check out the latest edition of the Daily Drama podcast below.

Now let us know, who do you think John “Jagger” Cates is working for? FBI, Pikeman, himself, or some other unknown entity or enemy? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

Check out the video featuring Nancy’s friends and co-stars below.  Now let us know, your thought son the line-up for the benefit and helping raise awareness and funds for ALS research via the comment section.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
