Nancy Lee Grahn Kicks-Off Her 25th Year as General Hospital’s Alexis; Thanks Fans & Shares: “What a Ride”

She’s one of the best of the best!  And on Saturday, Nancy Lee Grahn acknowledged the start of her 25th year as Alexis Davis on ABC’s General Hospital. 

Nancy, who daytime fans first loved on One Life to Live and then Santa Barbara, came to Port Charles and quickly became one of its leading mainstays.

On Twitter, marking the occasion, Nancy thanked her fans with this: “Wow! I start my 25th year on  @generalhospital  today. What a ride. It’s been one of my greatest pleasures to be connected to & supported by such a beautiful, loving, loyal #gh audience. We are and have always been in this together. I hope you can feel my most sincere virtual hug.”

Currently in story, Alexis just lost the new love of her life Neil and on Friday’s episode of GH, Alexis was blamed for his death by Neil’s brother when she tried to attend his memorial service.  Later, she landed at the Floating Rib with Valentin – but when he got into it with Ned and stepped outside, Alexis ordered a drink.  Not a good sign for this recovering alcoholic, and all this came on the heels of Alexis learning she has osteoporosis.

Through the years, story after story, beat after beat, we are lucky to have Nancy on our screens with her consistently riveting and honest performances.

What has been your favorite Alexis storyline through the years?  And … make sure to wish Nancy a ‘happy 25th’ via the comment section below.

I love Nancy Lee and her stories are usually interesting and inspiring. More women should have her talent, intelligence and integrity especially the ones that are so critical of her.

Violet…I agree with you. I just wish she could have some happiness and fun like when she first came to Port Charles. Loved her stories back then with Ned and Jax. But it seems the writers and/or her unconscious demons from the past won’t leave her alone these last few years. And losing her ability to practice law was way too harsh.

You are right on all counts.

Who was the greyish hair man talking to Alexis?…i think they should keep him…he and Alexis might work???

He’s Neil’s brother the man who lambasted her at the memorial service and said it was her fault His brother had died… It’s not a couple I’d prefer to see…

I like Dante’s doctor better. Hope he comes back with him. I think he and Alexis could be a good match.

I guess Iam replying to my own comment concerning Dante’s Dr I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing the other day as he professed his undying love to Dr O. Then she calls him a pig after he leaves the room? What was that about? I was hoping he would be coming home with Dante, but did not have a real idea in what capacity. I hope he will go after Peter even if it is to please his Liesel.

Happy 25th anniversary Nancy, love Alexis, and I liked her w/ Neil, to bad he was killed off, still Alexis will get through this, and find love again.

Congratulations

I just don’t see how any one… who’s a parent… can stomach this – she kowtows wilts AND is the lamest at doling out advice… save for; be a woman’ advocate. FINE ALL GOOD and WELL

w/Sam : how can she keep a straight face as Sam acts like the parent and not the other way around. I hate the way Sam treats Julian. perhaps it’s Alexis AWE how Sam wears skin tight form fitting leather spanks with stilleto. Sam is soooo driven, right?

w/Kristina : oh god… what an insult the debacle Kristina went over the cliff over Shiloh. so easily caught. she easily had it her way… with no guidance from Alexis at all.

w/Molly : how dare this child speak so willfully @. she gets on my every last nerve.

None of her daughters register !?!? Alexis black robe antics and penchant for lose wanton
self indulgent trifling behaviors have clearly caught up. I was OVER her with Julian.

this time around, with Neil. She had a let… pass go. What does @GH do… kill him off

UNLESS : why bring his brother back?

about the only real connect she has… is w/Diane

her alcoholism after her break up with Julian… landed her back on the playing field. God who doesn’t wish it was Melody Thomas Scott we witness

at last… a relationship … w/Neil landed her back on the playing field.

it always got wearying , at least when she was a lawyer… kvetching out her moral judgment, hence her black robe , fittings, at our expense.

SHE NEEDS to let up on Valentin… get back that family vibe.. she does it for Sonny

I liked for a long while.. how she was “able” to move on without Julian… god it was supposed to still be going on w/Kim.

FAN more alike than naught ; bought in to Alexis and Neil… yes i’m touting how smoldering it was simmer time… and BAM ! just like that snuffed out

I still remember, you, from Santa Barbara… emmied to boot. so you have left an impression… meh on the writing… especially with the overkill on your daughters… dag! give this hussied out to the gill A MAN A WHAT?

I always liked her with Ned.

johnny
I do too, but Iam afraid they will make a drunken mistake that they will both regret. As we know Soaps keep nothing hidden.

No one dislikes the actress she is always on top of her game! I can’t watch her because she can’t stop with the politics day and night she is at it! For gosh sakes can we not live in peace do you have to bring politics in sports soaps movies ?? Can’t you give us one bloody moment that we can breathe and enjoy the moment ?? That is my only gripe leave me alone let me enjoy one minute!

You’re right, Kay—Nancy is one skilled thespian. I just wish TPTB would give Alexis the life she deserves with the right guy, and makebit last with or without flaws. Instead of putting the character on the right track, they consistently lead her to the top of the proverbial precipice to then have her fall, one way or another. Enough with the drinking already. We’ve visited this scene too many times.. .. It has lost its luster!!

PS—I have learned to separate the actresses/actors from the characters. And, I do not ever read or listen to anyone who is ill-informed or uneducated in politics, who act all knowing and pretentious. Most Americans don’t even know their own history, thus, how can we expect them to know global history? —-so, my dear Kay, what’s the point?
Nonetheless, I understand your position.

What a ride, indeed. Alexis is one of those characters who is stuck in a vicious circle—-neither here nor there—-keeps going—one mistake after another—changes men as often as changing her nether-garments and always ends up in the same rut ( pardon the pun), the bottle. No end and no beginning. As boring as watching Martha Stewart (for me, at least).

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dex and Josslyn’s Relationship at a Crossroad, Jason Contacts Diane For Help

Previews for the week of March 18-22nd on General Hospital, plus the latest promo for the daytime drama series, share that Jason’s (Steve Burton) return has already affected so many lives, especially given the fact that several key people aka Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Danny (Asher Antonyzn) know his location at this moment.

Eventually, Jason (Steve Burton) will get in touch with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), from what one can only assume is legal help. However, John (Adam J. Harrington) seems hot on Jason’s trail, but the question remains, if Jason was working for John as seemingly revealed in a flashback to keep out of prison, are the two working together … or are they mortal enemies?

Meanwhile, it looks like its curtain for now in the relationship between Dex (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). After Nina (Cynthia Watros) dropped a bombshell about Cyrus (Jeff Kober), Joss gets an earful of information from Dex, when he admits that he was in Cyrus’s hospital room to kill him on orders from Sonny (Maurice Benard).

According to Soap Opera Digest, Eden McCoy shared, ” I think what’s different about this situation, and what pushes her over the edge, is that it wasn’t, like, a self-defense situation. It wasn’t at a shoot-out. He wasn’t protecting Sonny. Cyrus wasn’t doing anything! And I think that really scares her, to see him in the light of voluntarily killing someone in their sleep. That is very different from, like, shooting someone that’s shooting at Sonny. She is just in shock, like she can’t actually believe it.” As told by McCoy, “At that point, Josslyn says.’I can’t do this anymore,’ and makes her exit.”

Take a look below at the rest of the official teasers for the week.

REPORT: General Hospital Alum, Robyn Bernard, Homeless & Battling Addiction, Before Her Passing at 64

Robyn Bernard passed away earlier this week on March 12th, when her body was found in an empty field, which is allegedly behind a 7/11, and some trailer homes, in San Jacinto, California. The actress and singer, and former General Hospital alum, played Terry Brock from 1984-1990 and was 64-years-old at the time of her death.

New reporting on the life that she led over the past year, and longtime mental health issues and struggles with addiction, paint a picture that may have led to her death. Although it should be noted, the toxicology report is currently not completed or released. However, the sheriff department stated that no foul play is suspected.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, friends of Bernard spoke on how she had become part of their homeless community, and that she she struggled with alcohol addiction, and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia through the latter part of her life.

In their accounts, things went south for Robyn when in 2014 she moved to the community in San Jacinto, which is 84 miles from Los Angeles. At that time, she moved into a trailer park for senior citizens and was beloved for her singing by her neighbors.

The report also notes that in 2015, tragically, Bernard’s trailer park home was burned to the ground taking 7 of her 8 beloved cats and all of her possessions. After that, Robin stayed with many people of the community, but the previous management chased her off of the premises. She then broke up with her boyfriend and eventually stopped communicating with her parents.

Bernard’s final home was in a community called Parkview Estates, facilitated by Riverside County’s Adult Protective Services Department.  According to police records obtained by Daily Mail, through 2017-2019, Bernard faced numerous DUI drugs and alcohol arrests during that period.

Joni Woods, who lives opposite the space where Bernard’s trailer once was said: ‘I used to see her (Robyn) around town all the time pushing her shopping carts. She always had four or five of them, and I always felt so bad for her.” Robyn’s former boyfriend, Dan Berlin, expressed that the last time he had seen the GH alum was two years ago, “She was out there, talking to herself in a nonsense way. She was a schizophrenic.’

The friends of Bernard shared: “She used to say that Hollywood screwed her over,” adding, “They did her dirty and that’s why she ended up living in San Jacinto of all places.”

Share your thoughts on this tragic story of the last part of Robyn’s life, which again, stresses the importance of trying to find the appropriate help for those dealing with mental illness, being homeless, and addiction.

While ‘General Hospital’s’ Dante Lays in a Coma; Dominic Zamprogna Has Some Great New Portrait Headshots

On General Hospital, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has thus far survived two bullets to the chest, and is laying in a coma. Sam (Kelly Monaco), his lady love, is by his side and beside herself after learning her ex Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is alive and is of the belief that Jason have been the shooter who tried to take out Dante.

Sonny (Maurice Benard) has been wracked with guilt after he wasn’t so kind to his son, before the PCPD cop got shot. Meanwhile, Jason is hiding out at the Quartermaine boat house trying to recover from the gun shot wound he received.

While Dante’s life is still hanging in the balance, it appears that his portrayer, Dominic Zamprogna, took a diverse range of headshot and portrait photos under the eyes of talented photographer Jackson Davis. The photos were posted on Davis’ Instagram account.

A few former GH castmates commented on the photos including Marc Anthony Samuel (ex-Felix) who expressed: “Dante, Dante, Dante…,” and Mark Lawson (ex-Dustin) posted, “Dom!!!! Handle yo’ biz.”

Zamprogna joined General Hospital back in 2009 and has been nominated four times for a Daytime Emmy Award throughout his time thus far on the ABC daytime drama series.

So, what do you think will happen to Dante? Will he wake up and be just fine, or will he have another medical condition? What do you think of Dominic’s new headshots? Comment below.
