In a super-sized interview, General Hospital’s head writer, Bob Guza answers some burning questions that fans of ABC’s top sudser want to know, plus how he has managed to keep things on GH so intriguing in 2010 going from one high stakesĀ story to bringing back “A” list talent to fold them into ongoing or newĀ story in 2010.Ā Guza’s track record this year hasĀ TV Guide Canada naming Guza “daytime’s most powerful and influential player in 2010”.Ā Ā TV Guide Canada’s, Nelson Branco has much to say to GH’s Daytime Award winning writer, and here are a few excerpts from Guza on JaSam, Franco, Brenda, and if Michael was raped, and so much more!
Guza on if Brian Frons insisted on a Jason and Sam reunion: “No, not at all. What weāve always liked about Sam is that she has never wanted to change who Jason is. He is the way he is and she loves him for who he is. Thatās what, as writers, we kept coming back to. We didnāt have that kind of relationship on the show, which is why [I resurrected it]. Brian had nothing to do with that decision at all. He applauded it and was certainly behind it, but no, Brian doesnāt dictate stuff like that.”
Guza onĀ the ongoing debate the Jason and Sonny are each others true loves: “I know we always joke about it but they kind of have to be, right? Look at all what theyāve been through. That love story is the drive of the whole show; certainly in the last 15 years. Thatās a fascinating complex relationship, which is beautifully, beautifully portrayed by these two actors. Itās an endlessly evolving love story.”
Guza on if it was his idea to play Franco with a sexual attraction to Jason as an undertone of their story: “We were deliberately trying to create a character whose sexual orientation was extremely ambiguous. Arguably, Franco is in love with Jason ā not Maxie and not the other people heās dealing with. We wanted to keep [his sexuality] as a strong undercurrent. Having said that, Jamesās performance has added to whatās been on the page, for sure.”
Guza on if Michael was raped: “As for what happened with Michael in jail, I really wanted to make it clear that Jason asked the guard to get Michael tested for HIV. I told Steve, you know, Jason knows what happened to Michael. Now the dilemma for all these characters ā Jason, Michael, and Dante, who starts to figure out what happened ā is how you handle Michael. How does Michael handle it? Do you wait for Michael to come clean about it? Will he unravel before he tells the truth? This story is not remotely over.”
Guza on length of stay of Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo “There is this perception out there that sheās coming on for a short run like six months. Sheās on here for at least a year. Iām not sure with contract outs and all that, but more than likely sheās here for quite a bit longer. She did sign a contract. This isnāt a short-term deal. Not at all.”

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

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 apartāand 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

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).Ā Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasnāt 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.Ā With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. āTake the leap. Because life doesnāt always give you a second chance.ā
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 ābiggest fan.ā 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’?Ā 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.

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.

We,who love “Jasam” always knew that they were true soulmates. They have each other’s best interests at heart,have each other’s “backs” and always do what is best for their true loves. Breaking them up was insane, and we are delighted to have them back on GH as a devoted,committed couple. The “chemistry” between Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco is outstanding, and the very best in TV, daytime or otherwise. The characters totally accept each other as they are, never trying to change the one they love into somebody else. This is something everyone can learn from. Thanks, Mr.Guza-keep them together.
I couldnt agree with you more Sarah, Jasam was the Number 1 couple in daytime for years until they butchered our beloved couple and I couldnt be happier to have them reunited. Kelly Monaco, you are FANTASTIC, and the chem between SB and Kemo can not be denied…BTW LOVE LOVE LOVE, how Mr. Guza recognized that Sam has never tried to change Jason into something he is not, this is what makes them irresistable as a couple and why Jasam should always be connected! Thanks for that! Michael, I have to keep requesting an interview with Kelly…PLEASE!!!!!!
