GH’s Rebecca Herbst Chats On ‘Friz’, Her On-Screen Sons & How Liz Has Grown-Up

57
I love Friz! Becky is a stand up gal!
Great interview! I love hearing Becky’s thoughts! Looking forward to Liz holding onto Franco. Would love to have her parents return to PC for a story arc.
Love Becky and her Elizabeth Webber. Thanks for the interview, it was great hearing her take on things. Those three kids are the best kids in daytime, every single one of them is a little gem. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Elizabeth, her boys and #Friz. And I do agree that Franco is Elizabeth’s first real adult relationship, where she finally knows her worth and puts herself and her family…. and he puts her first.
I agree!It’s a great on screen relationship! They have a spark between them!
Thank you for this interview. The quality of GH has gone down so much that the only reason I’m still watching is for Elizabeth & Franco. I agree with everything Becky said. The abandonment by her parents messed with her self-worth. It made her hang on to Lucky long after the relationship turned toxic & it made her twist herself into knots trying to hang on to Jason even though he never loved her enough to get out of the Mob. Elizabeth’s relationship with Franco is the healthiest one she’s ever had. He loves her 100% & he loves her… Read more »
I agree, keep Aiden story going! It’s important! I’m so hoping they let us fans of Franco and Liz and they’re kids just be normal. Please! I want to watch that family grow!!! Love them all!
Love Becky and love her insight on Franco and Elizabeth’s relationship! They’re the best part of GH, can’t wait to see what’s next! And I’m all for an Elizabeth who knows her worth and hope that changes the way she interacts with Jason. She’s clearly outgrown him at this point, glad they aren’t regressing her character where he’s concerned!
I think Elizabeth should absolutely have more scenes with Jason. Not a fan of the Friz pairing.
Although I am not a big Elizabeth fan, I like Franco & Elizabeth. I think the actors play well off each other, and I think they have chemistry. I like Alexis & Neil too. Not many couples have chemistry or oomph; (Maxie & Parking Lot, yuck) but, I like those two couples.
Oh yes, I really hope they let Neil and Alexis be a couple. Definitely on screen chemistry just like Franco and Liz!!!!
YES!
I agree, DMRR—-It took a while for me to get into Franco and Liz, but I’m Ok with this couple. I think Neil and Alexis are great together—-better with him than the toxic relationship she and Julian had. Alexis is truly a surprise—like her more and more each day—-and Molly!! She is really a beautiful girl—- glad to have seen her on stage today. Peter and Maxie are a no-no….Ewwww. Aside—perhaps I imagined this, but when Shiloh took the gun from the drawer, I though he left said drawer open. But, when Drew and Curtis got to his room, the… Read more »
You are right, EWWW, and so awkward and boring-#Paxie. I haven’t watched, so, I’m not sure about the drawer.
Hi Celia
I am back after everything I messed up. I can’t even tell you what, but my granddaughter seems to have gotten me straightened out, I hope. I am very good at getting into computer jams, but then I can’t figure out how to get out.
DMRR, I agree with you. I really wish they hadn’t wasted the talent of Billy Miller though. He may show up on Y&R.
Love this I Interview! Love Becky and #Friz! Thank you!!!
I love Becky and Elizabeth is my favorite character on GH. I’m glad Liz’s boys are growing up and being shown especially since they are all being played by such great actors. My problem is Friz. I cannot believe that Liz, good mom that she is, would ever be with a man who kidnapped her son. I also don’t see the Friz relationship as a healthy one – not when it constantly makes Liz all about Franco! Think about it. Liz has been a mostly single mom for years yet we now see Franco spending more time parenting than Liz… Read more »
Tracy,I can understand a lot of what you are saying, although I must admit, I like Liz and Franco together. They remind me of the beauty and the beast. You have to remember when he took Aiden as a baby to his mom, Betsy Frank, he was a different man, driven by his tumor. Maybe in real life, we would not buy the idea of the tumor removal changing him into a new man, but as this is a fictional soap, I am willing to accept the change in the same way that Dante was changed, because of the events… Read more »
I really adore Rebecca Herbst’s portrayal of Elizabeth. Liz and Franco are great together and I love watching their dynamic with the kids. They really are the most stable relationship on GH right now.
I want to see liz,Jason have more scenes together and have a relationship/friendship again and if more come out of it the better.i hope that the tptb, products,writers listen to the fans and change this and put liz,Jason in more scenes together like before they have so much chemistry,emotions and more then anyone on gh have and 1999 till 2002 showed how omg,great,amazing they are in scenes together the people in charge need to bring this back in liz,Jason lives again.
It would be great if they did a special episode for Becky she deserves it and the actress is just a doll off camera as well always loving and supportive . I know a lot of people were upset with the pairing but in all honesty I have never seen RH as Franco so I just see two actors who have great chemistry and enjoy acting together . She never ages I think that’s why they did not age her children for so long she still looks like a kid herself and Lipton who plays Cameron is one of the… Read more »
I’m so happy to hear that Becky thinks Elizabeth and Jason need more air time together! Elizabeth will always be my favorite gh character and rebecca is amazing!❤
I ❤️Becky, big fan of hers for life!! I’m truly happy she was interviewed about her character Liz. I agree w/her that Liz & Jason had a relationship & friendship, it needs to be shown. It should be playing out on GH & it’s been ignored. There’s tons of drama there, that many fans want to see!
Is there anyone Elizabeth hasn’t slept with? Three kids, three different fathers. It’s ironic when she lashes out at Carly or Sam, she is worse.
Just how is she worse? People keep pulling the 3 baby daddy card like she’s the only one. Carly has three baby daddies. If Sam’s first child had been born, she would have three baby daddies also. So how are any of them different?
Seriously ? You need to really LOOK at the GH men, there are plenty she hasn’t slept with and I can assure you, she never slept with her MOTHER’S HUSBAND as BOTH Carly and Sam HAVE…. worse yet in both cases it was for REVENGE!!! So please explain how Liz is worse??
Well, to be fair, we can’t say for a fact if Liz ever slept with her mother’s husband, since we have no idea who her mother is! It’s not very likely, of course, as Liz has lived in Port Charles since she was a teenager. And neither her unknown mother, nor her known father (Jeff Webber) has ever shown up to visit her. Nor has her ACTUAL sister Sarah been seen for decades (the Hayden retcon as her sister was really dumb & unnecessary, especially with no Jeff around) And the oddest family tie of all? She and her husband… Read more »
Let’s see Carly has three children by three men and Alexis has three fIghter by three men. Liz is in good company.
Let me guess? You’re a Jasam fan? That’s all your fan base ever says. It’s pathetic and full of hypocrisy. Many characters on GH have children with multiple partners. If Sam’s first baby didn’t die, she would have three different baby daddy’s too. Liz never slept with her mother’s husband at least, but let’s pretend she is the ” slut” of GH to please your delusional self.
Becky is awesome, her chemistry w/ her co stars is though the roof, love the three young actors playing her kids, they are wonderful, and she and Roger are great together. I would love to see her relationship w/ her parents play out, and I agree w/ her assessment of liz w/ her parents. Team Liz all the way, she needs more air time and a good storyline. come on GH give us a lot more Liz..
Love Friz and Becky!! She and Roger make Friz great!!!
!st off– the squishing of names, it’s really not cool for grownups to speak in grade school schoolyard neeners; really, it’s beyond juvinel=‘Friz’ (its a pet peeve of mine) As for Elizabeth, a loved character, also the most boring. Liz is like the Mother Teresa of Port Charles. I thought her being tagged with Franco would put some life into the character but instead, it made France a ho-hum yawn. Franco needs to hook up with Ava, that would make for good soap. Franco used to be an exciting vivid character until he was put with Liz. Huge Mistake! Liz… Read more »
I agree, squishing names is juvenile!
Roger Howorth wanted to work with Becky. In fact he made it a requirement in his contract renewal. Smart man, because Becky makes every screen partner look good. Roger hated working with Michelle Stafford because she goes off script frequently and her hated it.
That’s why Franco and Elizabeth are good together, SusieQ—-they found their niche. ….l love Elizabeth—
But, I do understand what you’re saying—-Franco was at his best ( or should I say, Roger) with Nina ( MS; not this imposter–ugh).
I think Franco and Liz have reached their plateau–better this than scheming—-remember when Non-Jason/Drew first came to town? Lizzie sure did a number on him–Bad Lizzie!
So, something positive came out of this union–They’ve changed for the better. If it lasts, that is.
And, I agree about the name-squishing—-never liked it for any couple.
Thanks for the interview with Rebecca! Love her understanding of her character. It would be great to see an Elizabeth centered story & not her standing around worrying what is going on with Franco. She was never like that before. She always had her own stories.
I also love that she thinks Elizabeth & Jason should have more scenes together. Couldn’t agree more. Now if we could just get scenes where she’s not haranguing him to accept Franco.
The Family may be the best part of GH right now. Herbst,Howarth and those 3 kids are perfect.
I agree totally!
Jason & Elizabeth are my favorite characters!
Love Rebbeca Herbst and the character of Elizabeth. Found her insight on her character interesting. Wish they did more than just the family stories with her character.
Dont care for the liz character
Seems like shes always after jason
Although she has a son with jason, she needs to interact with jason only when it concerns Jake. Jason and sam are very, very happy together, so liz leave jason alone. I’ll bet if lucky came back, she’d drop franco. I know this is a soap opera, but I just dont like the liz character. Pretends to be happy
So what show are you watching again? Liz has stopped ” running” after Jason as you put for a long time now. She’s evolved more than your precious Sam has by light years. All Jasam fans don’t like Liz because they see her as a threat. I don’t want Jason and Liz together. I want her with anyone but him..and he and Sam are over rated and boring. Keep your couple but don’t make up crap about Liz to pimp them.
Refreshing to see an interview that asks questions that aren’t all antagonistic about a couple that has become much loved. Also wonderful to hear that an actress wants to delve into the joy of a pairing and the future for the fictional couple long term commitment doesn’t have to be boring or mundane if written right it can be very entertaining and they are writing this couple right. Maybe they are taking cues from old pairings Myrna Loy William Powell/ Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. I watched those with my grandparents and they still stay in my memory. She is… Read more »
Yes well said!
Rebecca is a nice lady. I never have liked or disliked her character. BUT, since her kids are growing up, she has more angles to her character now. Cameron is an amazing young man and he will bring stories to the household. Him and Franco mesh well. Speaking of Franco, I hated him! BUT, GH found a way to clean him up and he is likable now. They need to bring his dad into his life more often.
I love Friz. I’m glad Liz is finally happy.
I love Liz and Franco together! I wish the writers would let them all be. Let us enjoy their everyday life together. I think fans love seeing love in the afternoon. Not sex ! Just everyday living with each other trying to make life good for their family! I love their on screen connection, it is the best I’ve seen in a while .sorry jasam fans but its better between Liz and Franco!
Also the kids are AWESOME! Love watching their stories evolve!
Liz needs a little girl to make the Webber-Baldwin complete.
Fantastic interview! Love Becky and Friz! I agree with her assessment of the relationship or lack there of with Jason since his return. Also the lack of time he gives to Jake. I’ve loved Becky since day one and she adds so much to the show! I hope GH keeps her forever!!❤️
I know they are going to kill Franco off love doesn’t last on General Hospital
The Shilow thing is out of hand. The ideal of him kidnapping Cameron has crossed the line. First he is a minor and this is torture I am appalled at this out coming. This needs to end at once and I believe it will with Jason and Franco coming together but if it does not end today. The writers have crossed the line to “minor” torture and that is too far
I have watched GH ever since the beginning! I do like Franco and Elizabeth together. I just hope things work out for them all now that Franco is trying to save Cameron. I sure hope this whole situation somehow gets resolved, that Cameron and Franco are saved. Come on Jason!!! They need assistance. Love GH!! Even got my husband to watch it with me!!
I’m annoyed that not one question came up about Rebecca Budig coming back on as Hayden and how she feels about having her sister around again.
Franco told can go tell liz he will be back.The scene when he regains his memories and is reunited with Liz better be epic.
Awe, that was the best! Thanks for getting such an open interview from Becky. Love the character she plays. I wish she had more to do on the show!!!
Jason and Liz always had a long history together I always loved them two the most also there best true friends but they never give up on each other I want them back together so bad and thank you showing us that
I love everything about this pairing. #Friz is the best!!
