Shane from OLTL should win!

Totally agree with you Blake!!!!

the bullying story was good and shane should win, through the whole story your heart broke for this kid and how he was hurting afraid to tell someone, anyone, how he was feeling,then on top of all the hell jack put him through his mother is dead.(NOT)He is a good actor and he deserves the award.

I am hurt that the little guy that played sam on OLTL didn’t get an nomination because he was excellent and I miss him. <3

NO! How can irresistibly cute Patrick Gibbons, Jr not be nominated? Spiderman Sam saves Dorian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twKGgzCY-OU&list=PL788EC81DA892D907&index=17&feature=plpp_video

I agree with you too Georgia, the little fellow who played Sam was terrific, and a nom would have been nice for him. I miss him as well.

I agree with you about sam he is a little cutie,but shane he should win.

I completely agree no one is as cute and lovable and lights up a scene like the young actor who played little Sam.

I liked the boy that played Jack before he was aged. I thought he was adorable and played the role exactly right. Wish they would not have SORASed him. The last little girl who played Emma was fabulous.

Patrick Gibbons Jr AKA Sam Manning was robbed.

Impressive that Austin Williams (OLTL) and Haley Pullous (Molly on GH) got two nominations. Pullous was also nominated for a guest appearance on House MD (FOX). Disappointing that Kelly Missal (Danielle on OLTL) and Patrick Gibbons, Jr (Sam on OLTL) received no nominations. Andrew Trischitta (Jack on OLTL) looks like a young Tom Cruise. I think Williams is likely to win, but I am a sucker for anyone from OLTL.

haley pullous was cute in house,I didnt know she was nominated ,I think austin williams should, and will win.And like you I am pulling for anyone on One life to live to.

i think austin williams of oltl should win – he was just awesome especially during the bullying s/l

Oh yeah, Sam from OLTL should have been nominated also. It’s too bad we can’t see him on TV anymore 🙁

I only watched OLTL for a few months, but the Shane story was the reason I kept tuning in. The actor who played Shane should win hands down.
Sam was also great.The little boy said his lines as though they were the truth,and he didn’t look like he was acting. A sign of an actor.
Haley Pullos also deserves to win. She is terrific on GH.
Ciera on DOOL also was good.

I think Shane from OLTL should win.

I can sure understand that Shane was nominated, and he should win too! But Jack? Seriously? He may be cute, but he just can NOT act! I would cringe during some of his parts! I have seen numerous comments over time saying the same thing. A real dissapointment is that little Sam was not nominated. I don’t get that at all! He really deserved a nom! A better actor than Jack! I enjoyed Sam! I hope to see him again!

Sam was great, and I agree with you: Jack was the WORST. Shane will probably win because he had some great stuff to work with and his acting broke your heart. And, can someone tell my why SPIKE from AMC was nominated?! Did the boy even speak on the show?! If he did, it was barely noticeable.

I agree with you about Spike. Can’t recall the child saying much, or giving any notable performance. And that’s what makes it even more puzzling about Sam. How did Spike get a nom, and Sam did not? That little kid gave some notable performances, and especially for his age. A real snub! I do not get it at all! I’ll bet his little feelings were hurt!

I’m so glad Lexi Ainsworth was nominated, I hope GH is embarrassed over their ridiculous and inept decision to send her away….she was amazing, she gave Alexis/Nancy more legitimate story – which was warranted – it was all good. As you can tell, I’m still irate over her departure….and 85 people return…….for splash and dilution of stories and lack of Nancy. Sigh.

Wait, all of these children were nominated and Kelley Missal was not? I don’t understand. Austin Williams and Andrew Trischitta are sweet, adorable boys whose acting has improved slightly, but award worthy they are not.

Andrew Trischitta the kid that played Jack on OLTL was horrid. If he wins I’ll stop watching GH too.

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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
