Alan Locher does a wonderful job with these shows. I loved the Capitol reunion several years ago, where he had the Queen herself Constance Towers on. Glad that you will be on, Michael. I’ll definitely be watching! As far as my favorite GH storylines, the Stone/Robin AIDS story, BJ’s death/Maxie’s heart transplant, the original Ice Princess story with Luke and Laura stopping the Cassadine’s weather machine, Sonny’s wife Lily and unborn child dying in a car bomb explosion meant for him, at the same time Brenda and Jax are getting married, in recent times the Alzheimer’s story with Mike, are… Read more »

For me on GH it was 1) BJs death w Maxies heart transplant 2) Clink Boom 3) Luke finds out he killed his own father to protect his sisters.

The real shock wasn’t that Luke killed his father – because the drunken abusive bastard frankly had it coming – but that Luke accidentally killed his mother, because he was swinging the baseball bat around, ironically using it to defend himself (and his mom & sisters) from his father.

Grew up watching Y&R, and there are just SO many to choose from. If I had to pick a top 3: Jill fighting Katherine for the Chancellor Estate (which gave us the best catfight in daytime history); the entire run of the Lauren/Sheila storyline (across both shows); and the reveal of Malcolm being Lily’s biological father (nobody could keep a secret from his characters like Bill Bell). Honorable mentions: Cassie’s death (because it forever changed the show); anytime Judith Chapman is on screen; and Ashley tricking Jack into believing he wasn’t an Abbott (had its bumps but it was such… Read more »

On Y and R for me my Top 3 are: 1) Cassies death 2) The climax to the David Kimble story and his death ending his reign of terror 3) Beth Maitlands portrayal of a Traci Abbott and her story of plus sized women and her struggle with body image. She’s still fantastic.

Y&R : Cassandra and Paul’s storyline a rip off of body heat but done very well. The aids storyline with Nathan sleeping with a gal who had aids and their was a threat to his family that Olivia might have contacted it. Cassie’s death best performance that JM has ever done . GH BJ heart given to Maxie it is criminal that the actor who played Tony did not walk away with the Emmy. Robin and Stone heart breaking . Luke and Laura in the catacombs dancing . Days past never catch those moments again

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Marcus Learns He’s Not Trina’s Biological Father

On Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital, Trina (Tabyana Ali) opened the DNA test results that would conclude who is her actual bio-dad. Would it be the man who raised her, Taggert (Réal Andrews) or, the man she more recently has come to know, Curtis (Donnell Turner)?

At GH, Marcus, Curtis and Portia (Brook Kerr) gather to learn the results.  It turns out that Curtis is Trina’s biological father, not Marcus.

However, are these results, correct? Are DNA results ever correct on soaps? Did Selina Wu (Lydia Look) have something to do with switching these in favor of Curtis? Are we digging into this too much?

After the revelation, Trina tells Curtis. they will need to take some time need to figure out their relationship.  Trina makes it clear she’s not looking for a replacement father, and hopes he can understand and accept that.  Curtis promises he will let Trina take the lead on things.

Meanwhile, Taggert, who promised Trina no matter what happens that nothing will change between them, decides to take off and breaks down in the elevator.  Marcus is devastated and in tears, and is left using the elevator as a punching bag for his fists.

You can watch the final moments of the scene, featuring a heart-tugging performance by Réal Andrews below.

Now let us know, are you glad Trina’s bio-dad turned out to be Curtis and not Marcus … or were you hoping it would turn out the other way around? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

DAYS and GH Alum Tyler Christopher Arrested for Public Intoxication

Daytime Emmy-winner, Tyler Christopher (ex-Nikolas, GH; ex-Stefan, DAYS) was arrested for public intoxication at the Burbank, California airport, this past Friday, on May 26th.

According to the Burbank PD and reports obtained by TMZ, Tyler was arrested after they found him asleep and on the ground at the American Airlines terminal.  The officers noted that Tyler displayed clear and objective signs of drinking.  They also reveal he was unable to care of himself.

Christopher, who remains a fan favorite as the former Nikolas Cassadine on GH and Stefan DiMera on DAYS has opened up and discussed his battle with alcoholism in the past.  Last year, he appeared on former GH co-star Maurice Benard’s You Tube series, State of Mind.

Tyler was released from police custody following his airport arrest, cited, and will need to appear in court at a later date.

Back in 2019, the popular actor was cited for two counts of misdemeanor public intoxication and landed in jail for two days, following an arrest in Indiana.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who Will Turn Out to be Trina’s Biological Father … Curtis or Taggert?

This week’s episodes of General Hospital are set to deliver some needed results and some bombshells.  First, Victor’s will is read, but, in true GH fashion, the evil Cassadine delivers his reading via a videotaped message of himself in a return appearance by Charles Shaughnessy,

Meanwhile, Trina (Tabyana Ali), Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Portia (Brook Kerr) have all been awaiting the DNA tests results to prove that Trina is the biological daughter of Curtis, not Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews) .

At the same time, Curtis is moving back in with Portia, after his lip lock with his ex-wife, Jordan (Tanisha Harper).

Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) and Trina are at the center of both storylines, because Uncle Victor probably left something behind for Spencer, while Trina will be dealing with the fallout from the DNA results.
