On Wednesday morning, Elizabeth Jackson, the mother of former One Life to Live star Nathaniel Martson (Ex-Al Holden and Michael McBain), posted an update on her facebook page on the ongoing recovery and status of her son after his horrific car accident over last weekend.

Jackson reports Nathaniel is scheduled for surgery today relating:  “Thank you for your love prayers and positive thoughts which ARE making a difference. Nathaniel is going into surgery this afternoon at 12:30 PST. His last surgery to alleviate pressure on the spine went very well and Nate is taking some breaths on his own. Today Dr.s will do their best to repair breaks in his neck and stabilize his neck. Thanks you again for your love prayers and support. I will update everyone as soon as I have more news . Warm wishes from me, my family and Nathaniel.”

Meanwhile, the Nevada Highway Patrol has released premilinary results and a report on the accident that caused Nathaniel’s injuries, and in a statement on Marston’s official fan page it reveals:  “Nathaniel was critically injured in a single-car crash on Friday, October 30 in rural Nevada. According to local highway patrol and tribal police, no drugs or alcohol were involved in the accident.  A preliminary investigation has lead police to believe that Marston was fatigued and fell asleep while driving. The vehicle drifted into the opposite lane and it is believed that when Marston awoke he over-corrected, causing his pickup truck to flip several times. He was ejected from the vehicle through the windshield and upon landing crushed several vertebrae in his neck and back. Remarkably, he suffered no head trauma.”

Entertainment Tonight also reported that the Highway Patrol also noted that Marston, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

Please continue to keep Nathaniel in your prayers as he continues to fight and go through his surgeries and recovery.  Then weigh-in on your thoughts on the Nevada Highway Patrol’s preliminary investigation of the accident.

Lucky to be alive, long rehab ahead of him with nothing certain. Hes needs lots of prayers. No seatbelt, driving when tired, not smart choices.

Sending thoughts and prayers Nathaniel’s way.

NATHANIEL AND HIS FAMILY ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS…THIS IS ANOTHER LESSON TO ALL PEOPLE WHO DO NOT TAKE A MINUTE TO FASTEN THE SEAT BELT…

So easy to get tired anywhere in rural NV deserts. Sending good wishes his way.

Keeping him in my prayers. Thanks for the updates.

Just so sad about this….one’s life can change in an instant…praying for a miracle for him

Get better soon prayers

praying for him and his mom!

Praying for Nathaniel to fully recover, also praying for his family and friends.

I’m praying for his complete recovery. I’ve missed his Al Holden/Michael McBain, and I hope to see him on daytime tv again.

it is easy to be tired ,wish he’d worn hi seatbelt ,get well soon

I hope he gets recovery that allows him a good quality of life. Also that he realizes if he chose to wear that seat belt his injuries may have been much less severe. Choices make the difference. God Bless.

Please don’t forget Nathaniel as “yesterday’s news” Met him at Daytime Stars and Strikes event in NYC. Was a very genuine and cool man to talk to….we miss actors with the sincerity he gave us on OLTL, too few of them today. He has had his share of bad times, hoping better times ahead for Nathaniel and his loved ones. And please don’t use his situation to blow your own horn onl issues….let’s keep this page positive for Nathaniel and his family.

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.

‘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.
