GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who Will Turn Out to Be Adam’s Father?
For weeks, General Hospital has been playing up the anxiousness, anxiety, pressures of a college student named Adam as played by Joshua Benard (the son of Maurice Benard) on the ABC daytime drama series.
Adam and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) have become friends, and along the way she seems to be attempting to put together the pieces of what is going on with this young man. In story, what we have learned as it seems that he is receiving unbelievable pressure from his mom and dad, to ensure he has the best grades in order to become a doctor.
On Wednesday’s episode, after receiving a 97 on his test in a do-over, he called his father. We don’t hear the voice on the other line, only Adam’s. Apparently, the father was not happy that Adam has to do a make up test, even though he received a high score.

So, where is this all leading? Is Adam suffering from bipolar disorder or mental illness? Is he talking to anyone on the phone? Or, is he the son of a current character on the canvas, or a new or incoming villain?
Much speculation has been made that Adam might turn out to be the bio-son of Mr, Brennan (Charles Mesure), presumed to be the nefarious ‘Pikeman’. However, Adam had said that his parents were both doctors. Others are assuming he could turn out to be another child of Sonny Corinthos, but Sonny doesn’t know it, and he was raised by some over-achieving well-to-do parents.
Looks like next week, Josslyn and Trina (Tabyana Ali) may be on the case to try to figure out what is really going on with the guy.
So the questions become … do you think this will turn out to be just a random story featuring Joshua Benard? Do you think Adam till be tied-in more to the Port Charles canvas? Is Joss spending too much time with Adam and and not enough time with Dex (Evan Hofer)?
In addition, Joshua just turned 19-years-old this week on December 5th. Shout out to another year around the sun.
Share your theories on Adam. what you think is going on with him, and who could be his father, via the comment section. Now below, check out the scenes between Adam and Joss from Wednesday’s GH.

Kimberly McCullough Shares Remembrance of the Late TV Legend Norman Lear on the Set of ‘One Day At a Time’
Television legend, Norman Lear passed away on Wednesday at the age of 101 years old. The comedy genius who created, wrote and produced some of the greatest sitcoms of all time died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Lear’s body of work included: All in the Family, One Day at a Time, Maude, The Jeffersons and Good Times, Sanford & Son, plus the soapy, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
General Hospital’s beloved Kimberly McCullough (Robin) has been working as a director in the television industry for years now and upon learning the news of Lear’s passing, shared a very touching moment via her Instagram that stayed with her through her directorial career. McCullough had been a director on the reboot of One Day at a Time that featured EGOT winner, Rita Moreno.

McCullough expressed: “My hat goes off to your, sir Norman. What a wonderful life you lived. In my very first directing job, only 6 weeks after having a baby, I was feeling fragile and not quite ready to get back to work. On the set of One Day At A Time, you squeezed my chin and said ‘Look at you! A baby directing our show.’ It wasn’t condescending at all. In fact you seemed thrilled by how far we’d come in the industry, giving young women a seat at the table. I replied, ‘I’m not a baby. I just had a baby.”‘
McCullough added: “You gave me nod of approval saying, ‘Even better. You let me know if you need anything.’ That meant the world to me. Thank you for your service of the television industry, of our country and being a stand up human. #ripnormanlear”
In a previous post pictured with Norman Lear, Kimberly shared: “Thank you changing the world with your storytelling. Honored to say I’ve been able to work with you. One time I heard you say “but where is the HEART of the story?” I have a feeling you’ve asked that question a lot…”
The Lear family also put out this statement on the death of the iconic TV genius: “Thank you for the moving outpouring of love and support in honor of our wonderful husband, father, and grandfather,” the Lear family said in a statement. “Norman lived a life of creativity, tenacity, and empathy. He deeply loved our country and spent a lifetime helping to preserve its founding ideals of justice and equality for all. Knowing and loving him has been the greatest of gifts. We ask for your understanding as we mourn privately in celebration of this remarkable human being.”
Tonight, across all network television, an in memoriam card will air at 8PM ET/PT to pay tribute to Lear and acknowledging his influence in the medium.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What are Your First Impressions of Charles Mesure as ‘Mr. Brennan’?
There’s a new villain in town and things are about to get turned upside down for Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) as General Hospital circles back around to the looming mysterious ‘Pikeman’ story and who was the target of the shooting at the Metro Court that put Curtis in a wheelchair.
Last Friday, and into yesterday’s Tuesday, December 5th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, viewers were introduced to “Mr. Brennan” who has to turn out to be the dastardly “Pikeman.”
If his portrayer looks familiar, actor Charles Mesure has appeared in numerous television series and film roles including: Once Upon a Time, Castle, The Mentalist, Desperate Housewives, Bones and more. Mesure is also British-born, but moved to Australia when he was younger, accounting for the fabulous accent “Mr Brennan” has on GH.
Courtesy/ABC
In story on GH, as Sonny was telling “Mr. Brennan’s” minion, Hume that he would no longer run Pikeman’s shipments through his territory, the guy showed up at Kelly’s Diner with an ominous message for Carly (Laura Wright), although she doesn’t know it.
On Tuesday, in his room at the Metro Court, Brennan is upset that Sonny won’t work with him and tells Hume he plans to stay in Port Charles to make sure the shipments to Canada are ready to go. We also learn that apparently the head of the WSB has taken a leave of absence. Brennan reveals that being the director has its benefits. He then says he got rid of Frisco and he can work remotely and now things are falling into place.
Hume asks Brennan who the intended target is in all of this, and he says both Sonny and Anna. “Brennan’s” goal is to force Sonny’s hand to continue the shipments and more. Meanwhile, Curtis on the case as to who is behind his shooting and more.
So, what has been your impressions thus far of GH’s newest baddie as played by Charles Mesure? Let us know in the comment section below.

All these “love” stories are like the ad– all flash no substance– so instead of mad love , it should be called sad love– because it is sad what passes for a love story on soaps today.
You hit the nail on the head. They start with potential and boom their imploding because they push it too quick. Real soap love stories take TIME. That’s why people tuned in. You kept them coming for more.
Exactly, that’s what happened with Laura and Kevin and it took them weeks to even discuss getting back together. They rushed their first date, getting in bed together and breaking them up, only to bring them back together after a prolonged period of time, and now… we barely see them. This pairing could be a goldmine for GH if the writers took the time to develop them and give them a real story.
Sonny and Carly all the way. I want to see them stick it out, find out what Ava did to Morgan, take creepy assed Nell down, and get back together for good. You don’t marry someone 5 times if you aren’t it for each other. They’re soul mates and need to be back together. If GH breaks them up I’m done til marriage #6.
Absolutely, Mary. You put it in the right perspective……..all minute-long love affairs.
I am just catching up with the eps; but, notice the tension between Jordan and Curtis? Please, no! …..not a very appealing thought, that. Jordan lacks what it takes to be Curtis’ woahman!!!! LOL.
What about Andre? Something about this guy is very sly….Oh, I don’t know; deceitful?
Liz and Franco make me nervous….well, HE does. I will not say yea or nay, yet.
Nelle is indescribable, and Michael’s ‘Romance Novel’ pose is a little silly……no stud, he. But, I like him.
Carly and Sonny have run ourt of hot steamy romance….too stale for me. It’s one vicious circle. They will be in rocking chairs on their front porch many years from now, false teeth clicking and whistling, making preparations for their one hundredth wedding ceremony/reception.
For whom to root….Hmmmm…..Kiki and Dillon. I would love to see this couple entangled in a love scene……but, their love must surpass all others…..everlasting.
I’ve become so invested in Franco and Elizabeth’s story. Seeing this promo made my heart leap a little, lol.
It was really well done. I hope it marks a new beginning for GH’s promo department.
I dont see a thing to look forward too…No Q’s except for traitor Micheal ‘Corinthos’ and no Laura of course…guess her romance with Kevin cant throw out enough sparks to heat up a mouse house…well. i still have my real life suspense where i will eventually become homeless and loose all my things but hey im learning to accept being a looser…it helped somewhat coming back here but i give up for good-its hard to be happy and comment when ones life is full of misery and unhappiness…too tired to fight it anymore…bye!!!!
I left a message under manon by mistake for you I hope you read it
My dear friend and I do consider you a friend even though we never met, but we have always understood each other. Unless one has face the blackness known as depression, you cannot understand how exhausting it can be– but I know because I’ve been there and many have too. And the real kick in the pants is just when you need to fight the hardest that is when all the fight is gone– so I am not going to tell you to be strong, I am going to tell go find a safe place to let go– even if haven’t sought professional help please do so, you don’t have to carry the load alone– and since you struggled with this before let me remind you– when depressed DON’T BELIEVE A SINGLE THING YOUR THOUGHTS ARE TELLING YOU– Your perceptions are being distorted by the depression you are not thinking properly. So If your thoughts are saying you are loser– don’t believe them. Don’t believe or trust any thought that is trying to drag you down– only believe thoughts that lift you up, that challenge you to be the best you can be– and the best you can be has not yet been known, and never will if you give up on him before he has a chance to grow out of you. I am praying for you Jim, don’t let the darkness win– you came through before, you will again, because THE ONLY CERTAIN THING IN LIFE IS CHANGE–nothing lasts forever, not even depression. Be good to yourself– keep posting— you are not alone
Mary…no matter what poster we agree with or have disagreed…i consider us all friends because of our one thing in common…our love for soaps…we were brought together by the brilliant Micheal Fairman with this site…we are like a family who like one minute and fight the next-like the Qs…Mary i fought depression for decades…my parents fights. my pets deaths. the loss of so many family members, i was bullied in school for 8 straight years, i was sexually assualted twice, -i could go on…my sister who nearly died and i depend on the most is often sick and battling depression herself…my father fell and bedridden now…he was supposed to have things fixed so i wouldnt have any worries but he made mistakes and if he ends up in nursing home i will loose everything-i try all contests and wasted on the lottery knowing thats a big mistake but i still wish for a miracle there even if the odds are way against me …i am disabled…i recently injured my arm and in great pain…seeing doctors and in counseling but our family has had so much going on this year ive become so stressed my blood pressure is often high and ive been warned im a stroke waiting to happened…we are working to turn things around but if we dont i give up the fight once and for all…
im starting to get more help…i swear on the Bible i do NOT want anyone to say “POOR JIM!” or anything like that…i just want people to understand what im going through and why ive been depressed…i appreciate good advice from lovely people like you…it helps more than you realize…even if it doesnt sound that way in my replies…i dont want pity…i dont want poor Jim…i went to my class reunion years ago and because im disabled afew said poor Jim because im disabled…i told them treat me like everybody else and dont invite me to your table just because im disabled but because you really want me there…after that second reply to you i did see a specialist again…a pity party is something i dont want-it just makes me feel worse…im actually feeling a little more positive today for a change!!!
Jim, the holiday season compounds depression and a sense of hopelessness.
You are not a loser–you come off as an extremely intelligent, funny and compassionate person.
The only thing I know about this thing we call human existence is that nothing stays the same forever. This too will pass, there is a solution to your problem and things will work out–they will get better.
But if you close the last chapter on your life you will never be able to see what is going to happen next. You’re not done writing the book of your life.
Don’t fold your hand.
there is just so much one can take…i feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel…i dont know if i want to see what happens next…things dont seem to be getting any better
Hey Jim, what city & county do you live in? I know that my city in SoCal has services where if you are disabled, you could apply for public assistance. I would start with your city then county and ask the receptionist who you can talk to. Churches usually can help too. I can do some searches for you to see if there is anything out where you live? Here are some preliminary sites that I have found?

Abruzzfan, thank you–there ARE resources out there. Mary, beautifully put.
I watched Castaway for the millionth time and Hank’s character says something profound and wise at the end.
He says,”So you gotta keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide will bring?”
I know you have been through a lot and I am not discounting that, but the reality is the circumstances are NOT THE PROBLEM. I know it seems like that, but trust me as bad as things have been in your life I know they are others out there that have been through worse and more and they are not thinking of checking out.
It is your ability to cope, to think properly, to handle the stress that is exhausted– which is why I urge you again to seek professional medical help, not just counselling– I know it works different in the States, but in Canada you can go to any ER and be checked in to the mental health unit for at least 21 days if you are suicidal. Surely in the U.S. there are places for those with no funds to check themselves in to get the proper medical, emotional rest when they have no more inner resources to do it.
Right now if life is a marathon, then you are trying to run the race on two broken legs, and it can’t be done– you need to stop, get real medical help to rest and heal– otherwise, one more little bump in the road will do you in—so please I urge you to find a place– check in– get your mind and body rested and then tackle the issues a bit at a time. And when you are better you will be able to realistically accept the sorrow of life as part of the package along with the joys–
So I will continue to pray for you– I can’t promise it will get better, but I can promise if you embrace the sorrow as being as worthwhile as the joys of life, if you can trust there is purpose even in the pain then that is hope– and while hope exists there is a reason for you to exist– so please get medical help, so you can finish the race of life by crossing the finish line meant for you, not giving up before the race is done–
Thanks Mary & Addison. ER does sound like a good starting place since they may know all the options out there?
Mary…20 years ago family problems and a death caused me a breakdown and i was hospitalized…mom passed in 1997 then after that we lost 24 family members and friends…i struggled with depression for years…Christmas 2015 my 49 year old nephew had heart surgery then his mom-my sister who i depend on most got ill…2016 my sister nearly dies…she and her husband get heart surgeries weeks apart…one of their dogs died…my sister is often ill and depressed herself…i had a 30 day headache from stress i thought a brain tumor…we were going to open a toy museum but then had finacial setbacks with home repairs and my father needing a new car…he gets depressed over a store closing were he was involved…he falls and now is an invalid…che has returned to hospital with an infection…i fell againts a desk and injured my arm and ive been in great pain for three weeks…my neice’s ex boyfriend shows up at my house while im taking care of my ill father…he is drunk removes his teather(he was in jail) pushes my neice and wont leave-im stressed and had the call the police…he is now in jail…then i learn my father made mistakes in his will and other things that could leave me homeless and i could loose all my things including mementos of my deceased relatives…our basement flooded from heavy rain and destroyed many things…small and big problems like this have happened almost daily…me and my sister are working to make certain my father gets home care and make changes so i dont end up homeless.but its making us illl and mynephew too who helps out with my invalid father..some people are worse off-i know that and that depresses me too…but still after years of what ive gone through and continue to go through i just cant handle it…i do get counseling…but if i loose everything and become homeless id rather not be around anymore!!!

Dear Jim, I am not going to say poor Jim and I am not going to pity you.
What I will say is no matter how hard things get remember:
“THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE… IN A HOPELESS SITUATION”.
I don’t know you, but I do care about you. Sorry, that’s just how I am.
I enjoy reading your comments on this site and I expect to hear more from you in the future. Hang in there and stay strong. Yes, I said strong, because I know you can do it.
thats what i need to here…no poor jim or pity because that makes it worse…encouragement helps best…thank you
You’re welcome.
Now, let’s get back in the game and kick some GH butt.
What do you think about Sonny and Nelle?
(Always remember: there is always hope…in a hopeless situation).
Talk to you soon, Jimh.
i think Ava will learn about Sonny and Nelle and use that to blackmail him and keep Avery…Nelle may get pregnant by Morgan but claim Sonny the poppa…
I totally agree with you about Ava blackmailing Sonny at some point, to get Avery back. I also think that Morgan is not dead. I predict that Morgan will resurface and Nelle will know all about it but not tell anyone. If you remember, before he died, Morgan and Nelle shared a kiss. As far as Nelle getting pregnant; I think she’s looking for a big payday.
Jim,
Please know many friends here are saying a prayer for you and are sending positive thoughts your way. I value your insights, so keep them coming!
My wish is that something fresh would happen with Nelle–not pregnancy with Michael, no blackmail, not being a lost child of Carly, or Jax.
Hi jimh…hope you’re feeling better! Just wanted to let you know that I also replied to you with what I hope are helpful suggestions…in case you weren’t aware of some of your options. Wanted to make sure you saw my post because it didn’t fall under your name…it’s down toward the bottom of the page…
Im trying very hard to stay positive but today was another bad day…my dad may end up in a nursing home permanetly, my sister ikeeps getting sick and i could loose everything and become homeless!!!
Sir(Jimh),
We don’t know one another, but I just read your post and it touched me deeply. If you have tried everything else and it has All failed you – than won’t you please give Jesus a try? I mean what have you got to lose? Not making a joke there. You are in a place in your life of suffering and sadness and great stress. This will sound weird, but you are perfectly positioned for God. Jesus died for people like us. I’m not talking about religion Jim. I’m speaking of a real relationship with a real God who really loves you and has a plan for your life. Cry out to Jesus and watch Him answer you. I am not ashamed to tell you He has delivered me from some horrific things and people and situations. But that is what God does. He delivers those in need. You just need to believe He exists and ask Him to help you.
I’m praying for you and for Jesus to intervene in a mighty way in your life Jim and I believe that He will because He loves you!!!
You have just brought me to tears, Letmeatc8cake. Words to live by.
You haven’t posted in a while….but, when you do, you always have something positive to say. Your love for Jesus is priceless. He keeps helping me, as we ‘speak’…..thank you.
Hello, Jimmy.
Yes!!!! Trust me….there IS light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there, my friend.
When you feel you’re drowning….just post. One of us will pull you out of the deep. Hugs.
Love the story and journey Franco and Elizabeth are on! The way Griffin was positioned in the promo was less like a triangle and more like an outsider wishing to be acknowledged. Friz were fire in that promo! Carly and Sonny…I just don’t know. They were beautiful as well but they have a lot to overcome. They always come back to each other though. Curtis Jordan and Andre triangle has already started to be set up.
LOVE NAXIE. Ryan Paevey and Kirsten Storms ROCK!!
Yeah, Sharon….love this couple. Maybe they’re involved in real life….hey, it’s possible?!?!
I’m totally on board the #GriLiz bandwagon! i’ve wanted Liz to be paired with the sexy doctor ever since he first came on board. I love their burgeoning friendship and I can definitely see it growing into a lot more, especially now that Franco has become unhinged. I’m also all for #Killion, I think they have a lot of potential . If the writers finally let them go there. I’m not happy with Curtis inserting himself between the commish and Andre as I like that pairing. i would much rather see Curtis paired up with Hayden.
I’ve found you can be happy and content even in a mouse house. Every life takes twists and turns..I’m going through some terrible mess with a neighbor but I’ve chosen to learn and grow from this instead of banging my head against a wall. The same attitude I chose whenn I was down and out at one time. You never stay down for long no matter your age or health or circumstance or family..et.al. If you give up you’ll never realize just how string you truly are..it’s easy to quit..harder to fight..but once you start fighting..you can’t be stopped.
This was meant for jimh manon..sorry
Besutiful, dav!!!!!!
When you fight a loosing battle its time to give up…
Jimh as long as you have breath no battle is lost..live and fight each day to the fullest..what’s around the corner is one blessing after the next..believe that if you believe nothing else. Prayers and good hopeful thoughts your way.
Nicely said, Dave.
And Jim, I don’t believe you’re giving up.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here talking about it. You’re still fighting to hang on.
“…i would much rather see Curtis paired up with Hayden. ”
I totally agree… Hayden character NEEDS to be paired with a lively commanding romantic stud. Curtis it is
Hayden has a better chance at much to do in Port Charles… HEY I get it
since Jason and Sam ARE MOVING … here you go.. the new about town super sleuths… Curtis and Hayden for the win
Good Lord, Liz in ANOTHER triangle?
I do not like love stories..
They are so poorly written and they bore the bejesus out of me.
Love stories are all the same, different characters.. And- the couple is doomed from the 1st kiss.
There are a very few couples that have been worth watching and they are far and inbetween.
I usually FF the couples and their lame sex and horrible dialogue.
They talk much and say little.
GH needs to go back to its’ core, its’ corner stone= Action, adventure, spies, villains, intruge, excitement, the good the bad and the ugly of GH needs to reborn.
AND- yes. Couples, adventurous couples intriguing couples, couples that have a story to tell.
GH needs to capture itself, once again.
J&S are NOT the correct writers for the great adventurous GH, a soap that was not a traditional soap.
GH was never as the other soaps until now and it is sad seeing what a pile of normal boredom stale junk it has become.
Note; it is sweeps. who knew.. Another BLAH sweeps.
((total anticlimactic ..
Yawn!
I am so invested in Franco/Liz. I hope the powers that be haven’t built them up only to have them implode. As a really long time viewer, I have been drawn into this story!!
Love love love Liz and Franco hope Griffin is not the end game.
Please don’t tell me they’re putting Dr. Priest into Liz/Franco? Why? They’re barely even together like it is and they’re getting a 3rd party in the mix? Not needed.
Agreed. The writers need to develop Liz and Franco more before throwing Griffin or anyone else in. And honestly, I don’t think they should have another triangle for her.
Aside from Carly and Sonny, it all looks intriguing from this promo. The best part was no Jasam!!
“OH” thank you … I realized that as well…. wouldn’t it be something… if they did in fact “leave Port Charles”
hey… this couple is in the history books… for epic fail… and .. I hate using the word.. because ones mind should never be bored.
they are the most lifeless couple… I have ever witnessed.. because of their STAR stat… who would have thunk
bye bye Billy Miller and Kelly Monaco
I may as well : GH / ABC / Disney : their is absolutely no sex appeal with Carly and Sonny.
I am LOVING
all the posts … Franco and Liz…. IS GH / ABC / Disney going to exercise their “right” and somehow… IE: headed for disaster ? kill off Franco…
and RETURN Todd Manning ? NOW we have a direct hit on Passion. with Liz smolder
my favorite couples :
Liz and Franco ( Liz with every one ) the camera loves her
Kiki and Dillon
Olivia and Ned
Laura and Kevin
Felicia and Mac
Brad and Lucas
Valentin and Nina
this is a lot of powerhouse couples
GH : for the love of God… less is more when it comes to Sonny/Carlty; Jason/Sam
along with… Finn and Hayden; Michael/Nelle. they just do not spark.
GH hire Robert Newman, ex-Josh, GL… lets see Tracy go out with a bang. TANTALIZE
PS: just waiting … for Anna’s turn
for Ava’ turn
for Griffin
missing Kristina and Parker
missing Aaron
GH and DAYS have the best cast
Robert Newman! For Tracey! Yes!!!
I’m so happy Griffin is being paired w/ liz, when he first came on i wanted him to notice her, and then they got him involved w/ Maxie, wtf, the only thing i like about that was seeing him and Nate , i double my drooling, lol, then they paired liz w/ Franco, i didn’t like that, i like franco, love RH, but hate the characters back story, but RH and Rebecca had so much chemistry that i now like franco and liz, but not against a triangle w/ Griffin, good for her. thank goodness they got boring jason out of her orbit . It was badly written story especially how he easily just gave up on liz, so good riddance , he can have Sam.
“…, i double my drooling, ”
TOO funny
GAVEL
yeah, i’d hate to see Griffin on the losing end… when .. i’m with you… when Griffin first debuted… it seemed like a shoe in… the dr. and the nurse… as it were.
dang it tho… because I love Roger Howarth acting… AS TODD… I would be moving heaven nd earth… to see Todd and Liz. but the magic stirred with Grffin.
yet… I liked the passion with Claudette and Griffin. argh!
now that OLTL and AMC rights are back @ABC. will they kill of Franco and bring back Todd ? which… in the back of my mind… am already thinking… they would TRY and pair Todd with Carly ? hence… the trio… that Griffin and Liz will
argh! I hate the obvious propping by the behind the scenes
Carly, Sonny, Jason, Sam, Finn, Hayden, do not make GH… they are wasting this show
I agree…..no triangle, please. This rapist come back to hsunt Lizzie bothers me, though. Now, there’s the potential that he’s set his sights on Kiki. What will happen when Franco finds out? Is this the point? To make Franco a maniac again?
Aria, I hope I can say this (since it’s out of context)……congratulations!!!!! You were right about Charlotte being Lulu’s. You were the first to call it ( as I said Valentin was the father) and then, everyone followed suit.
How did thst happen? I can’t remember who; but a fellow-poster mentioned that maybe Valentin is really Stavros?
I might be in the minority but I really like Liz and Franco. He’s much more down to Earth and tolerable when he’s with Liz as opposed to Nina or even Carly. I don’t want to see them torn apart, especially not by Dr. Snoozefest. I like Griffin as a character but I don’t want to see him in this storyline. I’d say bring Claudette back because I think it would be really juicy to see her, Griffin and Valentin interact. Plus, Bree Williamson stole the scene time and time again, and I think they can really turn the character around.
Speaking of Valentin, I’m actually excited to see what he has planned, especially with Anna. I’m not sure what the connection is there, but that is an interesting avenue for the show to explore. Also, I think a Nina/Valentin pairing could be really interesting, and hopefully it will integrate Nina into the show more. She’s been here for a year and a half and still feels so out of place, which is sad because I love Michelle Stafford.
The Curtis/Jordan/Andre story couldn’t be of less interest for me, since two of the three characters are ones I really dislike. The only decent character for me is Curtis, and it’s pretty clear that he and Jordan will eventually hook up. As for Andre, he could leave tomorrow and I wouldn’t notice or care, and he can take Valerie with him.
I’m not so sure that Carly and Sonny will weather this storm. Even if Sonny wasn’t responsible for the bomb in Julian’s car (since there was no way they would make anything stick on Sonny and have him actually pay for a crime), Carly is finally realizing that the very fact this could have been a possibility is enough for her to walk away. And honestly, it’s time. Sonny really needs to change his ways and finally leave the business behind.
Maxie and Nathan are extremely boring and their wedding is being treated as an afterthought. The fact that Dante and Lulu can get engaged and remarried within a week but “Naxie” has had to wait months and have constant setbacks show how much the writers care about them. And honestly, I don’t care much for them either because I really don’t like Nathan.
Kiki and Dillon are also a couple I don’t care for because both characters are really boring. I’m not a fan of Robert Palmer Watkins’ portrayal of Dillon and I’ve disliked Kiki from when Kristen Alderson played the role, but at least she was more tolerable and a better actress than Hayley Erin.
As for Nelle and Michael… I like the possibility. Michael needs a new woman, but I feel like he’s going to get hurt in the end by Nelle’s secret agenda. I’m not sure what she’s up to, but seeing her in bed with Sonny the other day was absolutely gross, even if they didn’t do the deed. It better not come to that.
The only story I’m really looking forward to is the aftermath of Alexis’ alcoholism and the reveal of who Julian is really working for. After the total assassination of Julian’s character this year, they better have a damn good reason in store for why he acted the way he did.
Finally, I would love to see more Laura and Kevin, Scott and Lucy, bring back Mac and Felicia, and find a new man for Ava.
I want—
Maxie and Levi Dunkleman, reunited..
He was the most interesting partner she ever had..
I suppose “interesting” is one word for the “Dunkledude.” By the way, su….any “Krampus” sightings this year?????
this thing about… Anna… the high yield she turns in… time after time… riveting.. the best out their…
yet I have to balk… because if GH ruins this golden opportunity to showcase AND feature… Valentin / Nina / Charlotte.
i’m hoping … Valentin was once in the WSB … and is now ??? incognito… but Valentin once was in love with Anna ? I don’t really care as long as this newfound best is left alone… and the writers can FINALLY bring some tourdeforce REEL
whatever the connection… i’m not interested with Valentin and Anna… if it in any way messes with Nina’ chance to have her family.
I haven’t seen this much return: sexual energies just zipping flying and defining chemistry. Valentin and Nina. WOW coulda swore we saw ( remnants of Phyllis, Y&R) telling Nathan what he can do with his sanctimonious harmony.
Thank You Tracy… for the word needed to optimize Laura…. LOOSEN UP. YIKE – I cant stand it – Laura did it… it’s not becoming to not have FUN. He loves you back.
after Valentin… Kevin Collins… is thee best fine.
ooh la la… James Patrick Stuart bedroom hooded eyes – when he eye contacts… He owns this show
LOVE your first para: so in agreement… that Griffin and Claudette need to be involved… she ignited Griffin. brought him alive. He needs her firepower… shutzpah … cajones… will work
Bree Walker… Claudette… reminds me so much of a younger Phyllis… which is Michelle Stafford. these two women … in sync… LOADED… with; Valentin and Griffin… combust
ok ok ok… I’m back in Julian and Alexis orbit… whether they get back together or not… Nancy Lee Grahn and William DeVry are bringing their A game ON.
FUN stuff Jimmy
I had not given Griffin an Claudette much thought, except that she used him as a tool….a means to an end?
But, you know, Patrick? I see it…..Griffin and Claudette did steam up the window-panes…..more so than anyone else.
Well, I rephrase….I think Dillon and Kiki are a tease….very promising hot romance.
The only couple I am really invested in right now is Laura and Kevin.
And yet nary a word about them.
Everyone loves them-.
Though I like Griffin, I don’t want to see him paired with Liz. I like her with Franco.
I like Maxie and Nathan together but wish their wedding would be given more than the five minutes it’s going to be given between now and New Year’s Day. There is so much character-driven material between the two characters for the writers to mine if they’d just stop and think about it for a minute.
Totally dislike the idea of Michael getting involved with someone like Nelle who’s only going to break his heart for the millionth time.
I like Dillon and Kiki together but am just not wild about the actress now playing Kiki. I miss KA.
Love Hayden and Finn together.
Jordan, Curtis and Andre just hasn’t snagged me. Andre and Jordan are together in one scene, fighting in the next, back together in the third. I don’t find a lot of rooting power in the way it’s being written or find a lot of chemistry between them. On the other hand, Curtis just seems to smolder with anyone he’s playing opposite. Still, Jordan isn’t given must to do other than make police mistakes and say “baby” all the time. The writers need to spruce this storyline up.
Sonny and Carly are couple I don’t find very interesting other than enjoying how they used to always be there for each other. I thought that was realistic and made me root for them. Other than those types of scenes, I find them a snooze fest.
Julian and Alexis have been so shredded that I don’t want them back together. I just don’t see a realistic, believable way for her to forgive him for what he’s done to her. Hitting him with her car is not reason enough. They need to move on, as in Julian needs to leave town. Maybe he can take boring Sam and Jason with him.
And speaking of Juian’s kids, where the heck was Lucas in all the Morgan drama? We saw Brad but Carly never mentioned her brother once. That stinks! They had a lot more story to be told.
Love Laura and Kevin together. Hope that continues to be taken slowly (which does not equal not being on the screen).
Love Lulu and Dante together, though hated their five second wedding.
Love the idea of Ned and Olivia together, though we never see them together.
Just some thoughts….
If you’re very invested in Franco and Liz you might want to prepare yourself as she draws closer to Griffin…he’s the calm to Franco’s storm…
As much as I love all the characters on GH, I do have to admit that some of the characters in these planned love stories and triangles don’t bear all that much weight so it makes it tough for me to get excited over some of the action coming our way. I guess if it is well written and well acted it might get me to sit up and take notice but for right now, the story that seems to want me to tune in most would be the Michael/Nelle story.
Hi again Jim…I wrote u a looooong message yesterday then my iPad promptly switched off the page in a whole bunch of wonky moves before I could send it. Needless to say the messsge went into oblivion. Dropped it numerous times before I got a case…and to say it’s malfunctioning is an understatement. So, here goes…No one can tell you it’s definitely going to get better because none of us know that about anyone’s life, or our own lives…some things are in our control and some things not. But I HOPE that all of your woes will come to a happier, or a best a best-as-possible solution. That old saying is very true, ” if you have your health you have everything…” so work on that physically and mentally as best you can. If your meds aren’t working, like our GH real and fictional characters, tell your doctor. As you know, better than anyone, they can adjust your dosage and try another med if necessary. Alsio, have your Vitamin D level checked; if it’s too low that can cause or add to depression. You might benefit from a supplement, especially if you don’t go out often and are not exposed to the sun. The studies on Viamin D vary but I once got a ten day dose because I was too low…and, lol, after taking it I felt high! And I wasn’t depressed before! Try to get out to support groups or find one online. As for your dad if he’s a vet you can apply for VA benefits. If approved it’s over $1000 a month…that’s if he stays home. It’s called the aid and attendance benefit…you can find a local VA center who will help u fill out the forms. If you have lived in your father’s house for two years or more and have taken care of him in any capacity, you won’t be kicked out even if he has to go to a nursing home ..if you feel he’s done something to put the home in jeopardy go to legal aide; it’s free. As for your sister, that”s scary and depressing, even uf u werent bipolar. Just hang in there…just be your loving self and again…hope for the best. Life, unfortunately. Is excruciatingly sorrowful at times…none of us can escape that.. I met an old man who had been injured at war. He was in a wheelchair…his advice to me when things get tough…”never surrender.” 🙂
Ive taken care of my late mother, raised a niece and kept social services from taking her away(her mother is learning disabled) and i have been taking care of my father but if he stays in nursing home the money he promised me to keep up the house or for moving will be gone for his care…and it could leave me homeless…i might be able to get an apartment but there wont be room to keep my family mementos and my cat because most places here dont take animals-and loosing my cat would be like loosing yet another family member-we lost over 2 dozen family members and friends since 1997…me and my sister are suppose to meet with a lawyer but she is often very sick(she nearly died months ago) that we had to miss our appointment…hopefully she is well when we try again next week…we have had a horrible year that its getting hard to take even with counseling
I want to see Valerie and Griffin get a chance as a couple.
I enjoy Valerie… as I did… Sabrina… and then.. Rosalie
I truly like the easy going nature and comfort level… Valerie and Curtis, share.
If Valerie was given MEAT … any thing… to elevate her … how are we ever going to find these things out ?
It’s time for Sonny to be alone and get out of the mob. Sory. Nothing sexy about a criminal and a killer. Since he owns a “coffee distribution” business one would have to guess he sells drugs or weapons. Or he extorts money from innocent souls. What else could it be? Even on the Sopranos we know what he did and he was no sex symbol.
As for the other stories, if the writer could write beyond a commercial break we could have some fun here but sadly he can’t so the Franco story will be a dumb and NELLE will be a Saint in the end of hers
I love Friz. I think they have enough angst on their own without Elizabeth being thrown into yet another triangle. I’ve been tired of the formulaic writing on GH for the past decade or so which is whtky I fell so hard for Friz. I love complicated couples but when you add in the unbelievable chemistry that Roger Howarth & Rebecca Herbst have? It has the potential to become an epic love story. We haven’t had one of those in GH in such a long time, I hope they don’t ruin it for more lather, rinse, repeat storytelling.
Be bold for once GH! Follow the chemistry & see where it takes you…
I am so proud to be on this board with so many caring people, taking their time away from a crazy soap opera to help a fellow human being in need. I sincerely hope and pray that one of you with your wonderful advice will have reached Jim, and you Jim can and will take advantage and accept that help offered by so many strangers, or in your case our GH family. God’s love is with you.
Thanks Violet. The GH family on this site is strong and we know how to separate the “reel” world from the “real” world.
I may not respond to every article, but I do read them and try to keep up with everybody.
Violet, yours too is a very appreciative and compassionate message. Thank you.
Love Carson and Killon!
I am gonna reserve judgment on Nelle and Michael till it’s we know for certain they are not related, and till her motives are revealed concerning why she targeting Carly and Sonny, but overall I think it could be a interesting pairing.
Liz and Franco are challenging Kiki and Morgan as my least favorite couple of 2016 but hopefully Griffin can put an end to this farce. Curtis, Jordan, and Andre as a triangle aren’t on enough to get me to care. I have always said that Maxie is way too feisty and charismatic to continue to get stuck with the boring and stoic Nathan.
to get stuck with the boring stoic Nathan.
I like Roger Howarth. However, I have never liked the continuing and evolving saga of Franco. GH is still berst show until Sussman and Alden take over YR.
However, I would not even blink if Greenlee- Light and Franco slipped out of Port Charles. i am ready for Jax and Alcazar to return on perm basis.
As much as I like Billy Miller. The story of Jake/Jason has been a clunker. No one can replace Steve Burton as Jason. Sure the character needs to be more 3 dimensional – but GH is not the same without Jason. I miss Sonny and Jason… new stories to tell. More depth of character to be sure… but even a recurring Jason played by Steve Burton is better than no Jason. I have no idea of how to handle Jake. Love Billy Miller – so talented – but this Jake/Jason tale has been a snoozefest. The actor and audience deserve better in this case.
I am so stoked to see the next steps for Franco & Elizabeth! Their smoking hot chemistry & beautiful intimacy in this promo is an exciting tease of what’s to come!
Okie dokie smokie. Watched the promo. Thought it rocked! OMG! So excited for Griz! Finally a good match for Liz. No offense to Friz supporters out there. I just couldn’t get on board with that pairing. I think I am the biggest Becky Hearst fan there is and I want her to have a decent love story. I think she and Griffin will have sparks flying off of the screen! Looking forward to it. In a big way!
Looks like a hell of a winter coming to GH, I’ll b watching
Love Jasam and the babystoryline..
Love to see Alexis and Julian
