Really? I love Haiduk and her efforts, but this whole silliness was overdone and should just be finished for good.

Yay! I’m sooo excited! I love this show because u never know what’s next.

glad to se stacy back!!!
i think she killed diane……………

Well … shame on Y&R for bringing that phenomenal actress back just to have the murder of Diane Jenkins solved. Stacy Haiduk deserves so much more and so does the character of Patty Williams.

Welcome Back Stacy–Cool! 🙂

I have been hearing a lot of buzz that Stacy would reprise her fantastic work as Patty on Y&R and I AM SO EXCITED THAT IT’S A REALITY!!!!

Certainly she will be involved with the Diane murder, but PLEASE, PLEASE keep her on after the story wraps up. She is absolutely mesmerizing to watch as Emily/Patty. Fans rejoice!!! My favorite crazy broad (next to Phyllis) is back with a vengeance….. MEOW!!! 🙂

kalamaty – i love your MEOW!!!

Thanks, Michael! So exciting to see the scenes of Patty so far, and to know that Nikki is right behind her…. I have a feeling that Y&R’s November Sweeps are going to be kick ass! 🙂

YESSSSSS!!! Welcome back to Y&R Stacy, we LOVE you! Great to read this & even more excited to watch you today on the Canadian show! You’re a fantastic actress & you do an excellent job playing Patty. Love watching you work with Adam, you two make the best crooks together!

Why even ask which storyline will involve her? Helen Keller could see that Patty will be Diane’s murderer.

I like Haiduk but I really would have preferred some great surprise resolution to the storyline. We haven’t had a decent “twist” to a plot on this show for years. Either the twists are ridiculous (Jill Fenmore) or they were too obvious.

I like her I hope she’s back for long term.

I have been waiting for her to come back…I’m over the top excited for her return.

Great actress! So glad she’s back. I hope this means the character of Emily is back soon too. She and Jack were very sweet together.

BRILLIANT TWIST!! I love Patty and Stacy Haiduk!!!! plus, I never saw this coming!!!! so happy about it!

enough of Patty Williams. move on. Hate this Genivieve character too.

The storyline with Patty and Jack started in 1982. You mean to tell me, after all this time, she’s STILL in love with the guy??? UGH, this needs to come to a complete close once and for all. They should have left the Emily character around instead.

I, respectfully, disagree. The strength of Y&R – in my humble opinion, and as a viewer since the 1970’s – is built on these types of “core” relationships; the types of relationships that have endured for decades! Smart of the execs to always keep the past near while looking forward…. I would hope that most lovers of this show would agree. Either way, the Young and the Restless remains a record breaking television institution around the world…. and I couldn’t go a Monday thru Friday without it!

Kinda missed her in a twisted way lol it will be nice to have her back and I hope she has more speaking parts as she has a nice voice.

I love young and the restless. Lets move on and reveal Diane’s killer. The suspended is killing me.

I love Young and the Restless. Lets reveal Diane’s killer. The suspended is killing me!

I love Young and The restless. Who killed Diane! The wait is killing me.

Please no more Patty Williams.

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.
