Hillary B. Smith To General Hospital As Nora Buchanan!

GH Executive producer, Frank Valentini promised an exciting announcement today and he delivered one less than an hour ago.
Valentini, through a video on his Twitter account shared the news that Daytime Emmy winner, Hillary B. Smith is coming to General Hospital as Nora Buchanan! Smith played Nora on One Life to Live for many years, from 1992-2012 and again in 2013 on Prospect Park’s online reboot of the series.
From the looks of the video teaser, Nora Hanen Gannon Buchanan will be counsel to someone in need of expert legal advice! Could she end up actually prosecuting or defending Franco (Roger Howarth)? If so, this would not be the first time that Smith and Howarth have worked together in an on-screen legal courtroom battle. For Smith, won her Emmy for Nora trying to bring Todd to justice for the gang rape of Marty Saybrooke (Susan Haskell) on One Life.
With the hiring of Smith, this is the first time since the rights to One Life to Live are back with ABC that GH has been able to utilize a character from the beloved soap opera since the protracted legal battle with Prospect Park. There is no word yet as to how long Smith will be staying in Port Charles, if its for a guest-star arc, recurring, or on contract is yet to be revealed.
Watch the video annoucement featuring Rebecca Budig (Hayden) of Smith coming to GH as Nora Buchanan here. Then weigh-in!

Stars React to Alec Baldwin Fatally Shooting Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins & Injuring Director, Joel Souza, In Prop Gun Mishap On Set of ‘Rust’
UPDATED: Over the last 24 hours, the entertainment world has been stunned, by the horrific incident that took place on the set of the western drama Rust, while it was shooting scenes in New Mexico.
What is known is that Alec Baldwin (Ex-The Doctors, Knots Landing) discharged a prop gun that killed Director of Photography, Halyna Hutchins and injured director, Joel Souza. The film also stars Frances Fisher (Ex-Edge of Night) and Jensen Ackles (Ex-Days of our Lives). Baldwin is also a producer on the film.

According to Variety, the prop gun contained a “live single round,” according to an email sent by IATSE Local 44 to its membership.
On Friday, Alec Baldwin made a statement via Twitter on his Hilaria and Alec Baldwin Foundation Twitter feed, expressing: “There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”
Yesterday, The Sante Fe Sheriff’s Departments originally shared that “Hutchins, 42, and Souza, 48 were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin. Ms. Hutchins was transported, via helicopter, to University of New Mexico Hospital where she was pronounced dead by medical personnel. Mr. Souza was transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical center where he was undergoing treatment for his injuries. This investigation remains open and active. No charges have been filed in regard to this incident. Witnesses continue to be interviewed by detectives.”
This morning, Frances Fisher revealed in a twitter conversation with Patricia Arquette, that director Joel Souza had been released from the hospital. Meanwhile, photographs of a distraught Baldwin emerged following the shooting.

The news of the Baldwin prop gun incident, isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Jon-Erik Hexum was killed on October 18, 1984, on the set of the TV show Cover Up when he accidentally shot himself in the head with a gun loaded with blanks. Then, in 1993, Brandon Lee, the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, died from a prop gun accident on the set of The Crow by a cast member.
As the news made its way through the entertainment community and mainstream news, several soap stars shared their reactions to the fatal shooting accident.
General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin/Ryan) expressed: “Feeling so sad for everyone involved in the tragedy on the #RustMovie set. I do know the film was staffed with experienced, thoughtful professionals. Please, let’s wait until we have the facts. Nothing positive will come from passing judgement or casting aspersions before then.”
General Hospital and Dynasty’s Emma Samms (Holly, Fallon) shared on her friend Jon-Erik Hexum’s death: This AWFUL tragedy on #Rust is unfathomable to me. If all on-set protocols were being adhered to, how, on earth, could it have happened? After what happened to Brandon Lee and my dear friend Jon-Erik Hexam, the firearm protocols became incredibly strict. I was told (when I was with him at the hospital afterwards) that Jon-Erik had been working with a completely empty gun all morning. A blank (still very dangerous) was loaded and then immediately there was a delay. Exhausted, he was allowed to fall asleep – loaded gun in hand. hey woke him, but there was immediately another delay. Jon-Erik put the gun to his head, forgetting it now contained a blank, (because he had just woken up) and jokingly pulled the trigger. He was not the kind of person to play around with a loaded gun. #fortherecord”
We will continue to post reactions and update this story.
What are your thoughts on the fatal shooting on the set of Rust? Comment below. How can this not happen again, so everyone is safe in this working environment when ‘dangerous’ props are called for or used to make a movie or a TV show?

This should be fun.
It would be great to see a few AMC cast members on GH.
Yes! Not just OLTL
YES! SO EXCITING!
wonderful…now bring Bo and Vicky to GH also
I had to google these people being brought up- and found they are 70yrs old and most likely retired and would not want the very long and hard demanding days of a soap schedule.
lol I sure wouldn’t.. but, yah never know they might be up for it.
hope for their fans they return if they are asked to return, but as what position is a question.
KNOCK IT OFF SU0000…FOR REAL. .that’s past annoying. .move on from daytime honey.
Something tells me you are up in age and for whatever odd reason you’re posting like an adult trying to be a twenty something? ? It’s lost its luster dear.
I don’t think the issue here is age but rather is the material they would be given worthy of their talents. Based on what GH has been serving up since Ron left, I would say the answer is no.
Hi Alan ..
exactly right..
Fact is; they are 70ish and that is into retirement age to go back into the highly demanding filming day..
Fact is; what on earth would they do on GH, what role could they possibly play of any significance .
Only one on GH is of that age and seems to be smi-retired and that is Tracy..
((it took less than 30 seconds to google them, they could have been of any age, dunno.
A actors day of filming is very hard/demanding, is fact.
perhaps they would have no desire to even return to the soaps.
su0000, tune into the Disney Channel!
Oh, c’mon, SuzieQ….John Aniston is in his 80’s….and Victor is appraching 80 and still kicking!!
I love everyone from OLTL and I welcome each one, if he/she chose to make an appearance….that includes AMC, albeit I did not like a few characters/actors.
Su…You need a tad of help in your fact-checking skills. If you indeed looked up Hillary B. Smith you would see she is 58 years old…in the same age range as Finola Huges and Nancy Grahn. Now, I only say this to put you in your place as you bragged that it only took you “30 seconds to google them…” From your posts here you’ve stated you detest Trump. Why? He seems to be everything you are…judgmental, bigoted. Yet, I know why. Because he’s bigoted against you. You’re not in his demographic. You’ve stated you’re of an Indian background. So,… Read more »
Good GRIEF what is your problem exactly? Age is just a number. Some people are raring to go at 70 – and put 40 year olds to shame sometimes!
I don’t watch General Hospital, but if they start recruiting characters from AMC and OLTL I may just have to tune in. Almost anything is better than the one soap I do follow, Days of Our Lives which is currently beyond boring.
I don’t think we can truly hope for a revival of One Life or AMC but we can always dream – you never know –
WHA-A-T? Bite your tongue once again, suOOOO! Now, let’s see–how old are Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda? And did you hear about their series? And didn’t Lily just win a very important SAG award?
Nora? She is pure gold! And if Nora comes, can Bo be far behind—PLEASE? Love them!
Hi, su, I think I underdtand what you are trying to say. I, also, see that you do not mean to insult; so, some people need to ease up on you. Sometimes our wording makes us step in caca, but, with good intention. I get it, as I said as much of Lucci. There are certain roles that the ‘older’ cast is more equipped to handle; whether that be experience or otherwise. Can we picture Susan Lucci acting as Nina? I certainly can’t….as I was trying to say to Shay. No, this would not be her role. So, I think… Read more »
I need to correct myself…I see you were referring to the actors that play Vicky and Bo…not Hillary/Nora. So…my entire message still stands. Fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond…people in real life and on TV are all ages. Stop bringing up the subject. For a “young” person you’re awfully redundant.
Oh, Wow, s. I looks like we have rehearsed our comments…. we’re hundreds of miles apart!!!! LOL. some words are verbatim. Will you look at that? Go figure. You a leftist, moi an Independent. HaHa.
I take it you never watched OLTL? I also take it you do not welcome GH vets coming back? I’m new t
Sorry, su..pressed “submit”by accident, prematurely. …I’m new to GH, but I like seeing Lucy, Felicia, Mac etc….I don’t even know them, but I appreciate them. Anyway, remember once you told me to ignore vitriolic voices? You stuck up for me as I have for you, on many occasions. I think some people are so full of themselves; to the point of being entitled of putting others down as if they walk on higher, holier ground. I have been criminalized for supporting Trump. Do I care? It’s a free country. Better to be ruled by a tough president then be Iran’s… Read more »
Should read like this: There is no age appropriate once someone becomes an adult. There’s age appropriate for a child because they’re young and need to be protected and guided. As an adult…as long as one’s actions doesn’t hurt someone else…people need to live their life the way they want…not how “society” decrees they should. Older actors? They don’t need an age appropriate role. /Whether they are portrayed as business owners, newlyweds, starting a new career, perhaps falling in love for the first time and feeling giddy over it…it’s ALL open. It’s the human experience and there’s no timeline other… Read more »
NO!!!!! Maureen, I loved OLTL and miss it terribly. However, Frank trying to use GH as a portal to keep his OLTL characters alive has had a negative impact on GH. Either bring back OLTL or let these characters go, period. I also do not appreciate that Frank’s attachment to his former OLTL has come at the expense of GH characters. Suooo–how old are you exactly? You never say but you are obsessed with age. You almost seem to be raging, raging and raging against the dying of the light and against lost youth which tells me you’re most likely… Read more »
@Addison…Kudos for your common sense reply! The fact that you were an avid viewer of the defunct OLTL makes your opinion particularly valued and appreciated because it indicates an impartial analysis of the very issue which you’ve so aptly addressed. In other words, you have not allowed your passion for the late Llanview and its residents to cloud your judgment or sense of fairness in recognizing the truly deleterious effect the obsessive effort to resurrect OLTL on the GH canvas has created upon the latter, and I thank you for that. As a previously longtime GH viewer, I cannot help… Read more »
Hey Addie… 🙂 I disagree. Love ya…but disagree. We’re in a new soap age. Perhaps OLTL will come back; probably not. But dealing with the here and now…I, personally, would love to see, and welcome, many characters from OLTL. Why? Because, at its most obvious…it’s a fictional world. And in fictional worlds, anything and everything is possible. Instead of losing characters to the nebulous glow of days gone by…this is an opportunity to bring people back to life…and back into our lives. This doesn’t negate the fact that I’d love to see more GH characters. I’ve stated that many times.… Read more »
@Shay. Hey, Shay, Your writing blows me away. So simply put, yet so eloquent. I see the light….well, except for the word ” impartiality”. It depends on one’s individual perception, mon amie!! I do believe that sometimes this misconstrued word is only used when convenient to some. And, said people should follow their own advise, as they do decry others’ individual thoughts. I do not bend to others’ will, lectures or aggression. Who died and made them omnipotent? Speaking of”Soap Opera Heaven”…. tell me about it. I want ANOTHER WORLD to come back. I miss those characters/actors/actresses, as well. But,… Read more »
But you did, Blanche you did!
(make ageist statements time and time again).
Love Baby Jane Hudson
Addison…thank you for your comment further down the scroll. As Arnold might say, “I’ll be back.” Can’t let them take over MF, too.
Yes!! Bo Too!!!
Sorry, you you seem to be overly sensitive about age. but it is fact, they are 70ish (i did not say anything other than that. Lighten up, lol .. geez it is what it is, they are 70 and I was wondering where on earth they could possibly fit into GH that would be a role of any significance and that is also a fact.. Every Time a person’s age is mention some find need to freak out over the facts that they are 70.. even Tracy (whom I love) gets little air time seems she is smi-retired. you find… Read more »
Suoo, let’s talk about something less controversial and which might unify you, Rebecca and myself. Let’s talk about Donald Trump!
Kidding, of course!
ahha Addison .. there is not enough bandwidth for my comments of Trump .. Actually, I was not for Trump or Hillary. I didn’t like either of them, well Bernie is cool. My Trump comments are not of the presidency but about the man-child 😉 Anyways.. The Republicans will impeach Trump as soon as they get their Supreme Court Justice and everything else and then after they will, without a doubt, take their coveted party back ((wait for it)) I just have fun watching the show play out and it has just begun LOL .. Hey Addison .. I’ll bet… Read more »
Su…it’s not about being “overly sensitive” about age. It’s about you bringing up age on almost every response you give..whether it be about the writers or the actors. All age/all the time. As for your friend saying you’ve said nothing insulting…it IS insulting when you talk about people so old “they’re ready for diapers” and are so old “they’re taking the soaps to the grave with them…” You may not mean to be offensive, but many have told you those comments are. And yet…you still make them. Over and over. Something perhaps to think about… I have no reason to… Read more »
Suoo, I like you–I really do.
As a long distance cross country runner, I look at age as I look at hills. I tell myself that hills are my friend and I chug up that hill. I look at time as my friend, and I chug up that hill of time. This gives a whole new positivity to the phrase, over the hill. Maybe it’s a good thing to be over the hill because you’ve earned that right to run downward.
PS. I still have a Bernie bumpersticker on my car.
hi rebecca1.. as I said .. sensitive about age mentions going on lol .. The only time I have mentioned age is my opinion of the age of the writers, I want young writes. And I will never change my mind about that ..All others I do not care one way or the other. It is the above that’s upset about about an age mention, nothing to do with me that a mention of their age, just a fact… I did not make any personal comments of them, none because I do not care, just a mention their age..geez lol… Read more »
Hey Addison!
good ol’ Bernie!!
Run that bumper sticker proudly!
Bernie is da`man ..
When he’s a guest on whichever news I never miss him..
((I could have used his free collage, I’m still paying 🙁 ..
Suuuuuuuuuuu!!!! LOL! Yes, you did make ageist comments. Many times…and you did say something about wearing diapers and going to the grave. Own the comments!!!!
With that said, you can be so darn pleasant that it’s difficult to stay angry with you. So… hug…there. I said it!
sigh. 🙂
Nice…..but give me some John & Natalie or Blair & Todd!
Hell yes! Give us Michael and Melissa. Love Hillary B. Smith
You are never getting Natalie and John again.
Frank has zero interest in Archer. Thank god.
Easton doesn’t wanna play John anymore. Read his interview with Logan.
Jolie will only exist in your fan fic. This is GH, not OLTL.
Howarth, Easton, Alderson, Kassie, Flo, and Hillary are Frank’s pets.
Archer is never coming to GH. Natalie was a terrible character. Fake Buchanan.
Long live Hayden and Finn. Natalie doesn’t exist.
We only HOPE we NEVER get MA on GH! John and Natalie were beyond boring — they made absolutely ZERO sense. I have nothing against Melissa, but John and Natalie were beyond dumb! Now, if you want to start talking about John and Evangeline — well, I’m totally here for that! Michael and Renee Elise Goldsberry had ALL of the chemistry in the world! I do like Hayden and Finn! Rebecca and Michael have nice chemistry. I’d love for Renee to be Finn’s long lost wife who’s most definitely alive! And, overall, I’d love to see more OLTL/AMC vets on… Read more »
I agree with Trophy Lady and Addison. I loved Evangeline and John…much more than I ever liked John and Natalie. LOL…I actually liked everyone better with John (Blair, Kelly) than Natalie.
Love me some Archer and Easton!
Oh yes completely agree. Melissa Archer and Michael Easton were phenomenal together. Exceptional chemistry. To each his own, this fan misses them immensely!
I do agree with Trophy Lady–John and Evangeline were HOT< HOT< HOT!!! I have nothing against Archer, but she always seemed to be posing thusforth, putting the Arch into Archer.
.Ha ha yes. Melissa is well endowed . I like the posters above was and am a Jolie fan.
Excited about Nora Buchanan. Excellent actress. Yes Bring on Bo. The PCPD is a joke!
Would love him as commissioner. And God yes bring Melissa Archer and Erika Slezak on as well. Yes loved Michael and Melissa and Viki also.
Love Archer and Easton. They were hot and I would welcome them with open arms. They are incredibly miss d by many fans.
I am one of those fans. Enjoyed Michael Easton and Melissa Archer on OLTL. The plan was to bring her on before the PP debacle. Love that redhead and would love to see her grace my screen again.
Oh hell yes. Bring Melissa on!
Loving it but also seeing freak outs that GH will become OLTL
Agree! I enjoy the lectures by certain posters here regarding why soaps were cancelled and why they can never come back. (Very repetitive but entertaining in their condescending way !) of course shows can come back, it has happened before. OLTL fans are hard core, and maybe the network is realizing that.
This is really exciting! I agree. Vicki and Bo next. And let Roger be Todd.
On the same page with you, Lisa. Nora Buchanan is a great character, so much life to her role as it was on OLTL. I hope her spunk shines on GH. And if they can get some more Buchanans in town, that would help build up Port Charles again. Tracy Quartermain is a strong one, but the Quartermains as a whole haven’t shined as a family in years, since Edward died. Can’t wait to see Nora’s role take off!
Clint and Tracy would make a great couple.
Hillary and Nancy Lee Grahn would be fun to watch.
If this can bring more viewers to GH, great! HBS is a fine actress.
I agree with you Jay. We really need more viewers.
I knew GH was going to cash in on getting the rights back to OLTL. I am so happy and I think this is only the beginning. We will see more of our old favorites from ABC Daytime on our screens.
I’m happy, too James but we can expect much rejection from others who don’t welcome OLTL characters on GH. I can see both viewpoints. I miss GH in its “original” cast. I would like to see characters many of us have already mentioned…more Laura, Kevin, Lucy, Scott, Mac, Ned…it’s absolutely absurd the resistance the powers that be over at GH have regarding these core GH characters! On the other hand, until and if they ever bring back OLTL…whether for an occasional “special”…a half-hour format…I totally welcome the characters from that iconic soap. I think Nora will fit in perfectly; she… Read more »
Rebecca…I love Nora as well. Would be fun to bring Bo back and do a little two-step. Just to let you know I’ve been mostly quiet lately. May do what Harry did for the same reasons. Best to you.
Hi Rose! Was wondering where you’ve been…
Yes, great news about Nora! I’m hoping they bring over more characters…if even for occasional visits. I think the possibilities are endless now that they got the rights back.
And, sigh…I understand about you dropping out of sight, so to speak. It gets worse and worse. I could never have imagined this scenario…and, to be redundant…it’s beyond surreal.
Hope to see you back on a more regular basis soon. Til then… 🙂
Dear Rose, I won’t tell you to smile or to cheer up. But I will say to look for silver linings such as: 1. Americans are plumbing the good books once again. Books like George Orwell’s “1984, Sinclair Lewis’s “It Can’t Happen Here” and Phillip Roth’s “The Plot Against America” are all on the best seller list. 2. Americans are finally back to speaking out against injustices as they realize the power of the people. For too long we as a society have been apathetic and somewhat somnolent. And finally, 3. We no longer have to ask why the terrorists… Read more »
I read elsewhere that Hillary’s going to be playing Nora in the context of being PC’s new DA. I loved hearing that; good indicator that they just won’t have her passing through town, but instead sticking around. I think she’ll shake things up in a good way!
That would be fantastic! Wonder if Bo will follow…
If Nora Buchanan is the new D.A., chances are she won’t be a successful one because the most popular characters on GH are criminals who never get convicted of anything. And, if I’m reading this correctly, her character wasn’t able to even get Todd Manning convicted of gang rape over on OLTL. I don’t care how popular Roger Howarth is. Letting a character get away with gang rape is HORRIBLE. What a misogynistic plotline.
Nora did not prosecute Todd for the gang rape. She was the attorney for the defense who caused a mistrial once she figured out that he did the crime, by imploring the jury to find her clients guilty. He then went to jail after Marty tricks him into a recorded confession. He later stalked and tried to rape Nora while she was temporarily blind from an illness.
Oh, WOW!! So exciting….can’t wait….
i havent watched…my father passed away so its been a very depressing week….this about nora is good news news-hope more oltl faves appear….hope John and Todd come back and the actors current characters are dumped…i wont be posting much anymore but i will be around every now and then!…
Jimh,
I’m very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Blessings to you and your family, Jim. My condolences.
Jimh, I am so sorry.. Many have felt your pain it’s too real.
God bless ..
Sorry Jim about the loss of your Dad. You will begin your new norm holding onto all embraces he sends you.. Nora hasn’t been on yet. But looking forward to her being another attorney. Her and whats her name worked together for a long time on OLTL. very exciting. Again… My condolences. If only life was a soap and our dads would come back with amnesia then cured.
Deepest condolences on your loss, jimh. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers…..
So sorry for your loss God Bless you and family. I would love for Todd to come back I do not mind Franco,but some fans will not give the character a chance. I adore Finn Easton is doing an excellent job with that role he deserves a change.
My condolences, Jimmy. Take care, my friend.
Sorry for your loss. Hang in there.
Remember what I said about “Hope”.
Come back to the site when you are ready.
Thanks to all replies for your kind words…it really means a lot to me…love you all!
Sorry for your loss, Jim. Try not to go too far away from us. Your opinions of the soaps are always good to read.
Jimh..I have just caught up to MF after a few days away. But I want you to know I am so sorry for your loss. Take care.
Hey there, CeeCeeGirl!!!….Just a few thoughts in response to your Susan Lucci comments further down this page….Firstly, I didn’t find your notions indelicately put in the least….forthright, yes, but that’s just the way I like them…we can always agree to civilly disagree on any subject, then move on….no biggie! When I was proffering the idea for Erica Kane to take over Crimson, I had in mind a publishing grande dame in the mold of an Anna Wintour, the late Helen Gurley Brown or even that eternal fashion legend, Diana Vreeland…age is/was an irrelevant issue when one considers the impact and… Read more »
Than you, my Shay. I can never argue with your well-thought-out, well-written prose. I can only call it prose…..I have always looked up to you and your expressive words. And, yes, it does the body, mind and soul well to disagree in a civil manner. Susan Lucci is a lady….always has been. She is also a patroness of a few charities. As I said she does not live far from me…..she lived even closer before selling her gorgeous mansion in Westhampton Beach ( Quoque), albeit she still lives in Suffolk County. As far as I am concerned, Nelle could belong… Read more »
Could it be that ABC actually learned something from the soap fans. Hopefully by reintroducing characters from AMC & OLTL it’s a sign the soaps may return. LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON!!
Doesn’t some of this stem from the fact that PROSPECT PARK orignally claimed that ABC was trying to make General Hospital a “super soap” by incorporating characters from One Life and AMC into their existing show and that PP objected to them doing that? Well now ABC has the character rights back so we shall see what happens as time goes by.
Nice to see her again. Bring in Bo for the PCPD. Have her working with Roger would be fun- but not as his lawyer-let her say he reminds her of someone and play it from there. Vicki would be nice. We need another rich family in there besides the Q’s. Now go to AMC and bring Tad and Dixie back on. Please NO Erica–we have enough evil women on the show. MAybe Greenlee could leave GH and make room for another star to come on.
Cannot stand Hayden:((((
Love Hayden. Love Hayden and Finn.
The character of Hayden makes my stomach churn!
Neither can I.
Hayden and Franco are among some of the most propped characters I’ve ever seen!
I was not a fan of Hayden until they paired her with Finn. I love Fayden aka Hayden and Finn.
Love Hayden, from here to forever!!
I am glad I am not the only one, Hayden is horrible. I fast forward through her scenes.
Thank you “posts” who agree that GH is so obvious in the prop department these soiled characters with no real connection to GH are wasting our time Hadyen and FInn can look as happy as can… all cured lovey dovey and making their mark just so precise … with complete smile and even with aura give me a break. AND LEAVE BRAD ALONE… he just wants in on the patent why did they drag this out that much more? not enough fawning over.. because he’s McBain from OLTL . so he’s getting Griffin to write him opiate prescriptions? there is… Read more »
Actually, the iconic Erica Kane is the only character from the AMC/OLTL bunch I could abide coming to Port Charles….Susan Lucci’s glamorous character is an absolute soap legend and I could easily imagine her appearing on the GH canvas to both take over Crimson magazine and add some class and elegance to the show….that would also kill two birds with one stone because it could pave the way to provide Nina a speedy one-way ticket out of town, and what a blessed thing that would be!!!! As for giving Hayden the old heave-ho….I’m with you there!
I would like to see Erica and Tracy lock horns!
Awwwww…Shaaayyyy,
Why? LOL.
Amazing how we perceive characters, eh?? I have always liked Rebecca ….since her AMC days.
Later.
Oh, no no, My lovely Shay. Susan Lucci may be classy, but too old to bring innovative ideas to Crimson. She’s old enough to be Michelle’s mother. Nina has spirit and spice, which is exactly what the show needs. Out of context….Could this Frank that Carly is talking about be Carly’s bio father? Could Bobbi have ceded her to him and never told Carly he was her real father? Carly said he left her and her adopted mother when she was three. So, perhaps, Frank started a new life after he abandoned Virginia and Carly. Nelle being the product of… Read more »
Walt Willey, Julia Barr, Kassie D, Susan Lucci and the characters of Opal, Jamie and JR
PS.
Hi again, Shay,
I may have worded my comment indelicately….by no means would I deny Susan Lucci a welcome to GH. I love her…always have. She doesn’t live too far from me.
I was only referring to that setting; that is, editor of the magazine.
I think Nina is perfect for that job, and Maxi adds youth and oomph.
Susan would be great as a beauty consultant or as the resident dowager of the castle. Yeah, make her Valentin’s mother.
Methinks, I’ve been reading too many British Romance novels, LOL.
I marvel that some think a gorgeous, glamorous female of 70 can’t have “innovative” ideas… a woman who’s life was centered around beauty and glamour…as “too old” to run a fashion magazine…but yet think a 70 year old man with NO political experience can suddenly run an entire country and impose his views upon the world. Just a thought…
Celia – when I watched this episode I understood this as Frank was Carly’s adopted father, married to Virginia. I do agree that I think Nelle might be Frank’s kid but not sure why that would make her bitter towards Carly since it would be a whole other family. Just wish they would bring this one to an end or make it more juicy while we wait because I can’t stand Nelle and it’s time to move on.
Love Finn, Hayden, not so much.
Cannot stand Hayden
Love Finn , adore McBain and Jolie!
Now Hayden is financial officer at GH? Can you say PROP much? What a joke. Well Dr.O was chief of staff so…..
Hayden,Nina and Nelle can either exit stage left or fall off of Windermere’s parapets and they would never be missed! Not a fan of these characters at all.
Agree with Jamie. A grifter, a thief and an assaulter now financial officer for GH. I can’t stop laughing. Enough already. How many shoehorns have you used with Hayden and Nina. Really?
Oh if Erika Slezak joined General Hospital believe me I’m there….there’s NO question about that! That would REALLY open the door to bringing in more Agnes Nixon created characters to the canvas!
She is an excellent actor and would add a lot to the show. I just wonder if they would do her justice though. The writing would have to greatly improve. Only wish Asa was alive- he could take over for the Cassadines and give the Q’s a run for their money. Could you imagine – Vicki, Asa, Adam Chandler/Stuart , Bo all together on one show. Wow!
LOVE Hillary/Nora and YES let’s bring Bo along to PCPD for some real backbone to fight all that 3 family crime spree.
That would be great.
GH needs something exciting so lets hope it is good!!
Choosing “Nora” is a nice sensible start…of course would love to see Dorian, Viki and Roxy battle with Deliah…the latter, separated at birth!
Yes, Roxy needs to come back–with her beaver.
Roxy cant come back as Roxy. Ilene Kristen already recurs as her Ryan’s Hope character Delia. Things cant get too convoluted!
Great news! Now RH has to go back to the fan fav Todd Manning. Franco does not work!
hey!
I’m luvin Franco!
A very unique character and Rogers deserves to take home the emmy, also.
I never FF Franco, that character is awesome!
Todd manning as OLTL is dead, gone…
Franco needs to be killed off.
Do not want Nora wasted propping him like everyone else.
Worst romance in the 20 year history of Liz’s character.
Todd is also not needed back and the Howarth show needs to stop.
Bring back Tyler as Nikolas with the open payroll from Howarth after Franco dies.
Roger is an Emmy winning actor and gives 100% to everything he does. You can still see bits of Todd in him which makes him that much more endearing. Roger and Becky together is going to make one fantastic and exciting couple. Excellent actors that will be anything but boring. Outside of Jason and Liz or Jake Doe and Liz – this is one of the best pairing she has had. Get rid of the boring couple they are tying so hard to prop to keep them going. With sam gone…Jason can finally find someone to love and not feel… Read more »
well su…we can agree on Franco. love how the character has evolved…and loving Todd and Liz!
LOL…was “multi-tasking.” I meant FRANCO and Liz!
I never heard of Nora Hanen Gannon Buchanan ..
Anyways- it will all be good if the character brings Franco up front..
((seems like a guest appearance for the trial..
You are delusionally out of touch with what soap viewers want sister! Why do you watch soaps, girlfriend??
Oh! I am so happy!
SO EXCITED!!! Bring as many OLTL and AMC “vets” on that you can!!!
I loved OLTL as much as anyone, but Kin Shriner and Carolyn Hennessey barely get enough airtime. However, if Nora’s coming to defend Olivia Jerome and the reveal is she masqueraded as Alex Olanov back in Llanview, that’s a scenario I’d buy into.
I love that idea!
That scenario makes me very happy. I interviewed Tonja a few years ago and she was floating the idea of Olivia/Alex being one and the same then. I hope this comes to fruition. I’d like them to connect the shows more (like they started to do with Alcazar/Tomas). I have a stupid hope that enough of these OLTL and AMC visits will spark more interest in reviving one or both shows (and please don’t lecture me that those shows are dead and done…. everyone said that no OLTL or AMC would ever appear on GH again and well, that’s not… Read more »
How great would that be, to tie in the story of both shows into one over-arching umbrella! Awesome idea!
YES!! Can’t wait to see her on there. It will be nice to have her on there!
OMG!!! Such exciting news! I love Hillary B Smith!
As much as I like Hillary B. Smith as an actress, the General Hospital cast is already too large and greatly unused. Why bring on another female attorney who looks similar to Nancy Lee Grahn’s Alexis Davis? This seems like a very bad move for #GH and something Frank Valentini is doing just to bring on characters/actors from his pet show OLTL.
I completely agree with you. GH already has so many actors from OLTL, AMC, and YR that legacy GH actors/characters are short on stories and screen time. If ABC wants to utilize OLTL characters, then they should bring OLTL back from the dead!
I will have no problem if this is a short term appearance by Nora and this doesn’t turn out to be another Franco propping stunt.
A whole lot fun in the courtroom is on the way if we get her crossing paths with Scott or Diane for a few episodes during sweeps.
GH will benefit by having Nora around as a guest star as long as it’s not about Franco.
another “prop” that seems so obvious… and I can’t stand it how things just fall in to their lap and they rarely do anything… is Sam and Jason… all they need are their matching black leather jackets and off they go Sam , finding that yellow paper ‘ NOTE from Franco… locked in the storage unit. @GH… has propped Jason /Carly / Sonny / Sam so far up arse… no? give me a break Frank / Jean / Shelley. these 4 suck… they always will. ARGH … i’m disappointed that this is the lamest excuse of a story for Seth… Read more »
Completely agree. I watch GH, not OLTL or AMC. Please use the Gh vets!!!
I think these appearances will be a way for the network to test just how popular these characters are. If we watch, write and support the show, perhaps there can be a revival. But no one at ABC is going to greenlight starting the soaps up again without lots of tests… and in this case it means an appearance by Nora. More to follow.
I hope so, Andrew. I’d love to see OLTL characters integrated if they could somehow do it in a way that doesn’t lose the feel of GH…and brings back GH vets, as well. Tall order but if they find a way to do it might just save…or…evolve…the daytime soap genre.
This is just plain fun!! Lol. Let the crossovers begin!!!! ABC owns AMC, OLTL, and LOVING! lets get some of those people back! Weave them in and out in 6 week story arcs!! General Hospital hasnt been itself since 2001….so go for it! Get the publicity!!! I would love to see Lisa Peluso slink into town as Ava! Two Ava’s?? Imagine the fun! Nora is beloved and a good start!
I just want AMC & OLTL back on our screens like they used to be
I do too Lori sincerely I do but it seems doubtful that will happen….but hope springs eternal….
I don’t mind this, good actress, good character with a lot of history. As long as GH doesn’t become overrun with old OLTL or AMC characters. There are already plenty of regular GH characters that don’t get enough air time, Genie Francis immediately springs to mind. She’s being criminally underused. But as long as they use them for short storylines, I don’t mind the characters from other shows coming on. These shows are on 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, so I’m all for anything to spice them up.
Agree. Genie is not on enough. Why can’t the give her a decent story. I love her and Kevin together, but they are never on and with Jon Lindstrom not on contract he could get something else, then what?
Agree with both of you about Genie. She killed it with Finola. So underused!
Here’s a thought: instead of three days of Sonny Carly or three days of Jason Sam each doing the same scene for the umpteen millionth time, how about we reduce both pairs to two days of tedium instead of three? That’s two days for Genie and or others.
Agree wholeheartedly, Tomas. They need to do a better job of spreading out the air time. I don’t mind the top storylines getting the most air time, cause that’s how it is. But spread it out a little more, get some of the other characters represented at least once or twice a week. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. That’s what I loved about GH when I first started watching, back when Wendy Riche was exec producer, pretty much every character and every storyline got some air time at least once or twice a week. You didn’t go… Read more »
Yes!! And I agree she was geeat
“Criminally underused.” How correct you are. More Genie! More Laura and Jon. Very believable couple for a change. Everyone else pales in comparison. A real head scratcher why she/they aren’t used more. Genie continues to be the “heart” of GH.
Genie has been additional airtime; although, it is mostly “filler” to try to sell insipid Lulu’s stolen embryo/hidden daughter storyline. I would like to see Genie in her own storyline, and see her relationship with Kevin continue to grow and unfold. Also, have her in more scenes with the other vets-Mac and Felicia, Lucy, Scott, etc. I wish the actress who plays Lulu would be written out, along with Dante. The couple has zero chemistry and Lulu is written as an annoying little sister, not a strong Spencer woman.
Finally, dmr, someone who is not a fan of Dante and Lulu. But, it seems that we are not to express ourselves on this site. We HAVE to like those characters whom the most aggressive posters demand of us…wah, wah, wah…..
I would love to see Genie and Kevin enmeshed in a romantic storyline. So far, their relationship is just ‘understood’….step it up, I say.
You are so right…Laura’s job is to showcase lalahead Lulu. I guess a mother’s job is never done? LOL
Love Laura, but I have had no use for Lulu since Julie Berman took a hike.
This one is as perky and cute as a muppet while the old Lulu was ethereally beautiful and yet, street wise. Julie as Lulu was a perfect representation of what would happen if Luke and Laura had a child.
I do like Dante, however. I just don’t like him with this Lulu.
Why can’t they ever seem to write a story for Genie/Laura? I could do without Lulu! I did enjoy the prior actress in the role
Here we go again. Frank hasn’t learned from the last time this happened.
Exactly, Enrique! You just knew that the importing of more OLTL/AMC vets to Port Charles was coming down the pike when they announced the Prospect Park settlement….this practice ruined GH as we once loved it to be the first time it was employed, and of course, now it’s time to double down and repeat the same mistake again. Just another reason (of many….) not to watch this once great soap…..
@GH… MUST
bring back Delia … let her work… @ Ruby’s Diner… or what ever it’s called … that Sean and TJ owned/ operated
I mean this
it’s a place where Ava / Kiki / Avery can see grandma.. and we bear witness to 3 generations of the fabulous
give Ava a semblance of normalcy familial and bonding… Ava and Kiki deserve this
That would appear to be a pipe dream, Patrick. Despite the fact that Delia’s turn as Ava’s mom was one of those rare instances of highly creative, successful casting decisions from the Cartini era, it was quickly displaced by repeatedly disastrous introductions of unpalatable newbies and unnecessary characters solely contrived as vehicles for those pet soap actors that the insistent showrunners foisted upon a loyal GH audience who all along have asked for nothing more than their familiar cast and storylines which revolved around them.
That would be nice. I love that Delia still gets mentioned from time to time, keeping the door open. 🙂
I like that idea, but I have a feeling that Delia’s portrayer is a devoted east coast girl. However, that said, I’m puzzled that they never had her visit and sing at the Nurse’s Ball.
Patrick…Something I hope makes you smile. You seem to have a “little crush” on Nurse Elizabeth Webber. My new day nurse ( Chantel) looks very much like her, and was thrilled when I showed her Rebecca’s picture. She’s not up to speed on GH. She’s also kind and gracious. So I have my own nurse Liz/Chantel today. Hope to go home tomorrow, or next day. Yea!
Congratulations to Hillary B. Smith. I love her work. Nora Hanen Gannon Buchanan is a force!!!!!!!!!
I think it’s a stupid idea, even if it’s a temporary role. ABC had their chance for crossovers before giving the rights of AMC/OLTL to Prospect Park. And we did get Todd, McBain, Starr, along with Blair and Tea here and there. But because to the lawsuit, we were then given Franco, Silas/Finn, and Kiki (now with a face of her own with Hayley Erin taking over the role). Now on top of that, we have Rebecca playing Hayden and Bree who played Claudiette. As much as I would love to see OLTL return, it should remain dead and buried… Read more »
I’m beyond excited and happy to see Hilary bringing Nora to GH. This is the beginning folks, our shows will be returning. Stefano Dimera is not the only Phoenix in daytime!!
Can’t wait to see who else comes to the show!
Love Hilary and Nora! Stoked to have her back
This is great news for I love Miss Smith but GH is GH and OLTL is OLTL. A guest arc for actors from OLTL is a gift but the series each have their own distinct points of view and directions.
HBS is an awesome actress, and Nora is an amazing character who will fit in well with the GH cast. The show needs a little shot in the arm, and crossovers are always fun.
Based on everything else Jean and Shelly have given us, I expect to be underwhelmed.
Exciting news! Frank is making GH a “Super Soap”!
Great news!
I know I am in the minority but GH could benefit from using some of the more popular OLTL and AMC characters. Those fans lost their soaps, and may not watch GH they would if they could for a little while or long term see their favorite characters again. This could be a win for GH because it would increase the number people watching he show ,and a win for GH increased viewership will keep GH on the air,
have to say, you’re right. I watched all three ABC shows for decades… but turned GH off when it became all Sonny all the time. I started back when Ron started writing and OLTL characters showed up. I continued to watch even when they left because the show was good again… but stopped a couple years ago. however, this may get me to watch again. I love Nora and very interested what they’ll do with her. 🙂
I am in agreement with Dee, if they want to increase viewers, then they should absolutely incorporate some OLTL and AMC characters and weave them into the storylines at General Hospital – ABC owns ALL THE character rights from General Hospital, One Life to Live and all my Children – may as well utilize them in one way or another – I had hopes that the existing characters of AMC and OLTL would combine into a half hour show as a Lead-In to Gen. Hosp. but that might be hoping for too much.
Interesting, Dee. I was thinking the same thing. I can understand why GH long-time viewers and fans would rather see GH vets much more often….it’s natural.
But, I really miss OLTL and AMC…..I know my friends ( who do not watch GH) would start watching in a NY minute, if their faves from the above soaps would be part of the GH cast…..even temporarily.
Your post is 100% correct DeeDee! The soap ancients is shrinking, every viewer counts!
bring in as many characters as possible, then split it up …
into two or more soaps and populate the air time with some good story telling…
PPLLEEAASSEE
I like this a lot. Too add that new soap you would need to lay the groundwork for success.
The Mouse would be wise to do as you suggest
Can’t Liz bring Nora for Franco and Liz knows her .
So happy she is awesome and bring Bo back!! David
Can go with Lucy that would’ve hilarious!!
Yes, Patty, it would be!!!! What a novel, hysterical idea. I can just imagine. Perfect couple! Loooove David.
Oh, that would be hysterical! David, Lucy, and Lucy’s duck, Sigmund, haha!
That IS a great idea, Patty! Loved David and he’d be fantastic with Lucy. Haha…if, like in OLTL he wanted to date an older woman, I could see him with Tracy, as well!
I suppose if GH would have been cancelled I would have relished a GH character to land on OLTL or AMC BUT, lets not go overboard with bringing in other soap stars just to pacify other soap fans. Look at Y&R, it took Steve Burton 4 years to get a decent story. Jason Thompson is still struggling there. GH has way too many capable actors who sit and wait for the inept JELLY to write them a story! Lets remember, its not “One Life to Live at General Hospital” or “All My General Hospital Children!”
Yeah, I see your point, Timmmy. Always the voice of reason. But, I, as so many others, are so hungry for our OLTL and AMC cast, we’d beg for even a small crumb.
GH would be wise to trim ten characters from its current cast then bring in 3 OLTL characters and 3 AMC characters as regulars. Once those 6 are established in Port Charles the show could bring in other characters for visits or short term story arcs while maintaining 2/3’s of the focus on the GH characters. By doing this, the show might bring its ratings up as fans of the cancelled shows tune in to see what their favorites are up to and end up sticking around if the other stories catch their interest. Of course to make sure that… Read more »
Alan, THAT is an excellent idea!
But it’s not really General Hospital anymore either. No one worth watching works at the hospital. They’d be better off turning the hospital into the condos and then re-naming show to “Port Charles”. Alot of the Port Charles characters are there anyway, in one form or another.
I love it!
great news! bring more OLTL characters on and I will watch GH. Make Franco go away and bring back Todd Manning. bring John Mcbain back and bring Natalie on for him.
Yesssss. I will take Michael and Melissa anyway any day
Hey great bring Nora in to defend a case – but unless Bo is in tow permanency should be a no go.
GH already has actors that are underused – don’t start flooding the show with AMC and OLTL characters.
If only ABC could bring the shows back themselves – THAT would be fantastic.
The under-used actors could be replaced or the boring storylines could be ditched for better ones. Not saying to bring in new people just for the sake of doing it, but for better TV – hell yes. If these characters are now freed up let’s go for it.
And I agree that bringing in the shows themselves would be the best thing yet, but where would they put them in the lineup? I swore when that “food” show took over AMC’s spot I would never watch it and haven’t to this day.
YES! I don’t care for how long she’ll be on….but to see an old friend, a character that many of us loved will be wonderful. To all the nay Sayers out there, we need to keep GH on, and if this boosts ratings, brings in former OLTL fans to watch, then let it happen! Have a great week everyone!
She is so classy I hate that word but it fits her I just love her!!!!!!!
Great news! This may actually get me to try watching GH again. I watched it for a bit after OLTL was cancelled and did not care for it. Maybe if this gets more viewers, OLTL could be brought back in some form. Bring Bo, Viki, Clint, and Natalie next!
This should be a treat!
OMGoodness!! Love it love it love it!! I loved Nora Buchanan!!! Ahhhh!!
Can’t wait for this! These are scenes I definitely won’t be FFing through!
Love it. It’s a treat for all OLTL fans nd GH fans who don’t really know her will appreciate her great acting!
This reminds me of when Cass Winthrop would visit other P&G soaps. I love Nora and Hillary. I look forward to seeing how it plays out.
@Dean_Morgan….Crossovers were great fun when we had a plethora of daily soaps from which to choose….Such guest shots were inventive, creative and exposed each show’s respective audiences to new and exciting characters they may not have otherwise discovered. But with today’s diminished daytime offerings, taking players from a defunct program and overpopulating an existing soap with those characters at the expense of legacy cast members is not the same thing. It was a barely tolerable practice when the showrunners first tried to turn GH into a resurrected OLTL, and I relish the notion even less this second time around.
Well, this Shay person seems to right on point here.
So excited she is a gifted actress very funny to boot!
