Loving GH Y and R and B and B so much right now particularly GH and Y and R
Phyllis was so damn funny yesterday talking to Sharon!
Beyond the Gates
I don’t know what’s causing this sudden shift to watch Soap Operas but I am loving it!
Me too I am addicted
It’s called snow.
I watch for soap operas currently. The three CBS soaps plus days of our lives. My favorite is beyond the Gates and then bowling The Beautiful. I really hope the ratings continue to improve on beyond the gates. With all of the corporate shenanigans that Paramount sky dance is doing, I don’t want to see this show put in jeopardy because of that.
i watch all the same soaps and i agree that hope none get hurt with this paramount thing going on !
GH is can’t miss right now. Loving it. Y&R is must miss, horribly written. Oh my, Matt Clark is free again, and nobody knows where he is. Where ever might he be?
But…but..but.. Victor Newman has the very best security.
I can’t believe people keep watching and supporting GH as long as hateful, vile Nancy Lee Grahn continues to be employed there and front-and-center on the show. It’s absolutely disgraceful that Valentini, Varni, etc as well as ABC/Disney suits keep completely turning a blind eye to her non-stop nastiness on social media. Yeah, wonderful values.
Everyone I know is beyond disgusted and done with the show until/ unless she, the executive producer, and head writers are shown the door. Sick and tired of the puff pieces and shilling about GH.
MAGAt brainwashing is a serious mental illness. Please seek help immediately
“Everyone I know is beyond disgusted and done with the show”
I’ll take things that never happened for $500, Alex.
Nancy has this thing that’s called the first amendment and freedom of speech that allows her to say whatever she wants. I know conservatives are only familiar with the first amendment when it’s people saying things they like. Don’t like what Nancy says, don’t read it, scroll past it, and move on with your day. Quite simple.
You know what’s actually really disgusting, the cult worship of a convicted felon, rapist, racist, and man whose name is mentioned in the Epstein Files more times than the name Jesus is mentioned in the bible. Where are your values about that?
Oh it most certainly happened. You’re so far out of line, buddy.
If you’re actually defending the absolute, despicable filth that Nancy has tweeted about our President and the people that voted for him in recent months/ years, then you’re just as big of a sicko as her.
Eric, go to your room! I told you, no more screen time today, goddamn it!!
We’ve had enough of you, Nick. Crawl back up Trump’s shitty asshole!
Bravo Dan! Well said.
GH should be over 2M viewers anyway. Best Soap, Best Acting. Enjoying B&B too even though no major storyline. As for Nancy Lee Grahn, she has the right to state her opinion but that does not mean that I have to agree with it! Great actress but politics and entertainment don’t mix for me.
General hospital is one of the best. I like beyond the gates but I feel like it’s missing a lot of action-oriented story lines that are to compete with other soap operas. Like explosions kidnappings adventures all of those action oriented storyline that are definitely needed to compete with other soaps
None of that is needed, nor is that what Beyond the Gates is built around. At all. And if that’s what you’re looking for, then General Hospital is certainly not the soap for you or any of the American daytime soaps for that matter. American daytime was not built on “action-orientated” storylines. It was built around characters and “an emphasis on family life, personal relationships, sexual dramas, emotional and moral conflicts; some coverage of topical issues; set in familiar domestic interiors with only occasional excursions into new locations”.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!
The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup). Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …
It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris. With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”
In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.
As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.
BACK FROM THE DEAD?
After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.
So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’? Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look Make a Return to ‘General Hospital’

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!
Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.
This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED
When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.
In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”
When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).
Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!
So, glad to see Brad Cooper and Selina Wu back in action? Do you hope they stay for a bit? What do you think of Josslyn getting the piers? Is this how she sets out to destroy Sonny? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: ‘From Your Biggest Fan’

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers for the ABC daytime drama series, and the just released video teaser, reveal that several women are in serious peril, but in very different ways.
First, Lulu (Alexa Havins) finds out that Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is suing her for libel! Looks like Willow took Chase’s (Josh Swickard) advice to fight back on these “allegations” levied by an “out-of-it “Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) who now claims everything he told Lulu in their recorded interview was a lie. However, the GH faithful viewers know what Sidwell said is true.
Willow is ready to prove her innocence to the Quartermaines too after entering their home. Will anyone be able to crack Willow and get her to admit to all she has perpetrated, but in a court of law, so she can be sentenced for some of her crimes, or will she continue to walk around Port Charles forever unscathed?

A SONNY TAKEDOWN
Meanwhile, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) wants to take down Sonny (Maurice Benard). So, she has decided to leverage being forced by the WSB to take the CEO position of her father’s company, JJE, in order to do so.
Sonny contends he has gone straight and is no longer in the mob, but try as he might, he may have to fall back into his old ways so people see the light!
Knowing Josslyn, and everyone else refuses to believe he had nothing to do with the prison beatdown of Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell, Sonny says, “If Josslyn thinks I’m gonna let her destroy me. She’s dead wrong.”
ROSES AND CAR TROUBLE
Meanwhile, looks like Trina’s stalker is amping up their obsession. Now, at her latest musical gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge, she receives a card and a bouquet of roses. The card reads, ‘From your biggest fan.”
Later, we see Trina sitting in her car having trouble getting it to start. Suddenly, there is a knock on her car window. Quinn (Jequan Jackson) is standing there with a smile on his face, and says, “Car trouble?” Trina is startled. Is Quinn just there to help out, or is something more heinous about to go down? Stay tuned.
