Would love to see Sam and Silas emerged in a bubble bath whispering sweet nothings into the other’s ear.

Not because I’m a romantic but mostly because it would be nice to see Silas cleaned up for a change.

I would love to see Franco and Carly stay together and Anna and Duke. They are my two favorite couples of the show right now.

Franco and Carly are great!!! they will last a long time.. 🙂
Anna and Duke need a love break, time to be together!!

Guest

Harry

I don’t think so–don’t think Roger is happy and won’t be around too much longer.

Guest

dfm

yes the actors have chemistry, but past history makes the pairing unbelievable!! tumor or no tumor Carly would not jump to Franco. did Sam? no! horrible pairing!!

Guest

Travis T Thomas

Just like Carly would never seduce her mother’s husband, or lie about the paternity of her baby with Jason, or plot with Sonny to have AJ look like a deadbeat….Okay! I always found Carly to be all about Carly regardless of who it hurt.

Guest

Angela

Carly and Franco is ridiculous. The one thing that Carly has ALWAYS been true to is JASON! She would lie to everyone else on the planet, EXCEPT Jason. She would never side with anyone who hurt him, let alone threatened her kids. I hate the revamp of Franco almost as I did the OLTL invasion!

BPfaffl

The couples I like are Duke & Anna, Sonny & Olivia, Lulu and Dante. HATE Carly & Franco, Ava & Morgan, Michael & Kiki.

Guest

Melissa

I hope that Ava and Morgan stay together. No matter what the writing calls for, these two sell every emotion that has played out. They have chemistry to burn, and the star-crossed mob war romance works for me.

Guest

Nikki

I agree with everything you said. 🙂

Guest

jimh(leave it to beaver)

Its a soap…some will get together…but in short time theyll just break up again…there are no happy endings on soaps…lol

Guest

Mary SF

Ain’t that truth—-once I saw so many of my favorite couples bite the dust over the years, it became hard for this jaded soap fan to get into the romance of ” happily ever after”. Now I enjoy the ride, but my days of rooting for or against any particular couple died with Victor and Nikki’s (Y&R) second divorce or was it their third???

Guest

Julian & Alexis!!!!…..truly talented actors who make it fun to watch! Hope they continue to develop this pairing and looking forward to watching all the complications along the way.

Guest

well..

Carly and Franco are the #1 couple… love them !!
and
Sam and Silas are #1 couple.. Love them !!……… (it’s a tie!!)

The other couples I could care less about..

I love Ava as a character, Maura West is amazing and plays her to perfection. But her relationship with Morgan sickens me, mostly because I really can’t stand Bryan Craig in the role of Morgan. I really like Sonny & Olivia, Duke & Anna, and Michael & Kiki (even though I think Kiki is a stupid name, but I digress). Franco & Carly is a bit weird to me considering the past, and Heather needs to go away for a long time because her character has become such a cartoon, which is a shame because I love Robin Mattson. Lulu… Read more »

Lulu and Dante spell BORING in capital letters. Morgan and Ava do steamy very well, but all in all, I don’t go for the cougar/May-December aspect of their relationship. Carly and Franco – hell NO! Nic and Britt – Is Nic every going to wise up? I doubt it. I loved Nic with Emily, but not with anyone since. Sonny and Olivia – who cares? Anna and Duke – I’m sorry, but there is nothing sexy about these two. Sam and Silas – eh. I think it would have made an entertaining story if Sam had started falling for AJ… Read more »

I find writers who break up couples because they feel they become boring are lazyy writers. For many years Bill Bell was able to write for couples that never got divorced and drove story. Bo and Nora were together for years and had TONS of problems. The same could be said for Monica/Alan, and so many long term married couples. Yes they may have separated from time to time, but they used real marriage woes, to tell married stories that were relatable. Damn Nick and Sharon were married for 10+ years and were always frontburner. That says alot. Not sure… Read more »

Mentioning Bo& Nora guess who broke that couple up good old JFP because she brought her good old buddy Kale Browne into play Sam. At one point HBS/Nora was so upset with that storyline she wanted her character killed off. It took us how many years to bring them back together?

Patrick

#1 Duke and Anna. get the writing back…. i did not like the part… where… he was telling Anna… He joined the mob… because he wanted to be his old self again… he wanted to feel like a man… he was doing this to find himself… ??? whatever the case… it was no reason… for him to just disregard Anna…. she’s told him several times… she knows he was imprisoned… and yes, that changes a person… but… Anna accepts Duke… and that s LOVE… I just love this couple… above all other couples… I depend on these two Dante and… Read more »

I admire you being able to deal with the recast ‘s L. For me, the beautiful individuality that was L’s Luke Spencer edge combined with Laura’s heart has been supplanted by a new character that bears no resemblence to that genetic pedigree. L has always been about more than just a baby and D by themselves. Now she is so pigeonholed as D’s wife and just wanting a baby that she now is nothing more than a plot point, vanilla pod. Another example. Where is the up and coming entrepeneur that was turning The Haunted Star into a club and… Read more »

I want to know what is going to happen between Sabrina, Patrick and Robin on Valentine’s Day.

Looks great!!! The mysterious proposal will be Duke asking Anna to marry him…. just guessing?

Guest

Nikki

I love Franco/Carly, Morgan/Ava, Nik/Britt, Sam/Silas, and Julian/Alexis.

So, basically, every couple that is doomed. LOL.

I like Duke and Anna, as well, but, in my heart, I’m forever, hopelessly holding out hope for Robert and Anna, so I can’t fully invest. But love both characters, both actors, and the storyline they’re in right now (opposite sides of the law- very appealing).

Sonny and Olivia are alright, but they’re more interesting as friends, partners in crime.

I love the beginning stages of the triangle between Felix/Brad/Lucas; still undecided which two I’m really rooting for 😉

Guest

Harry

None of these couples have any chemistry. Anna and Duke did once upon a time but now he seems like Uncle Arthur (Paul Lynde) to her Samantha Stephens Elizabeth Montgomery). Carly and Franco make me ill together–please get rid of this ill conceived idea. And Lucas can do so much better than mouth breathing brad and that gossipy bytch Felix. Aren’t there any more gay men in Port Charles? Too bad Jason Morgan had to die. Julian and Alex do not have it going on–it’s unseemly to see Alexis act more immature than Molly. And how many times can this… Read more »

Guest

Shay

Oh Harry….you make me laugh!!!! But you are so right about Alexis: it is highly unbecoming for her to be behaving like a giggly, gushing teenager in heat every time Julian is within close range! As a couple, I don’t see them as having any chemistry at all….what he really seems to need is a younger, more dangerous, daring type, like Sam, but of course, NOT Sam for obvious reasons!!! I also thought he clicked with Carly…and although I would not go so far as you did with your assessment of her mismatch with Franco, their storyline really is not… Read more »

Who cares! Give me Robert and Anna, Jason and Sam, Sonny and Brenda, Bobbi and Tony, Luke and Holly, Scotty and Laura, and Alan and Monica. Oh, okay, one current couple, Franco and Carly are growing on me!

Guest

What they really should hope for is.I bother to stay with them at all. I haven’t watched and from what I read on the boards. who cares? Will Robin get to spend valentines day with her family or is that for Suebrina? They lost Tristan, Robins been demonized to the tenth degree, Anna is a keystone cop and they poured my AJ in the bottle. Is this how they will send Michael back to the sainted mobster.? Bad AJ oh well happy Valentines day to everyone else, anyway.

Guest

Favorite romantic was and continues to be Stefan Cassadine. I hate that GH and its several producers failed to utilize him and instead sacrificed him to the altar of a younger less dynamic man and handing Luke a silly win yet again. That was trite and a horrible waste of talent and a far more interesting and intelligent character. The problem with today’s producers are an abundance of ego in which they hire their buddies, they prop the younger guys to the nines and a couple of divas instead of fleshing out characters and delving into what makes them tick… Read more »

I hope and pray that Silas and Sam stay as a couple! They belong together! Their chemistry is amazing, SEXY and HOT!!! I love watching them. They are so good together! Their love story is like a great romance novel that gets juicer and juicer as you read on….Silas and Sam forever!!

The rest are just boring. I mostly watch Days now and just watch clips on YT of GH.

General Hospital and ‘H.R. Pufnstuf’s’ Billie Hayes Dead at 96

May 3, 2021

She was one-of-a-kind, and now actress Billie Hayes has passed away at the age of 96. Hayes’ family announced her death from natural causes on April 29th at Cedar-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

Hayes was best-known for her unforgettable role as Witchiepoo on the 1969-70 Saturday morning live-action children’s classic H.R. Pufnstuf from Sid and Marty Kroft.

However, daytime fans will remember that then General Hospital executive producer, Gloria Monty, hired Hayes to play the recurring role of the street-smart international spy, Brighton O’Reilly, back in the 80’s series hey day.

GH’s Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio) took to Twitter to mourn the loss of Hayes on Monday sharing; “My dear wonderful Billie Hayes has died. Sadly I only got to work with her on GH but it was a magical relationship. Right away Gloria Monty saw something unique and ran with it. I cannot tell you how her passing saddens me.”

In story, Brighton O’Reilly was shot and killed by Victor Cassadine back in 1981. Billie told Soap Opera Digest back in 2003 about her time as an agent on GH, and her exit from the series: “I asked Gloria why she killed me off, and Gloria said, ‘To tell you the truth, Billie, we really hemmed and hawed at it. But I decided to do it for selfish reasons. I knew if I killed O’Reilly there’d be such an abundance of sympathy and love for Scorpio that his stock would go up. And he’s my new leading man!’ I understand why Gloria knocked me off, but I would have loved to have gone on with it because I feel it could have been developed into a fascinating character.”

Photo: JPI

Sid and Marty Kroft also took to Twitter and expressed: “Margaret Hamilton (Wizard of Oz) once told us that Billie Hayes was “one of the best witches ever” We couldn’t agree more. Rest in Peace dear friend.”

Billie’s career spanned decades including Broadway, television, motion pictures and voice-over work. In addition, she founded the Los Angeles-based animal rescue nonprofit organization Pet Hope, a cause she had championed since adopting a puppy abandoned in the basement of Broadway’s St. James Theatre during the run of Lil’ Abner in which she was featured in the role of Mammy Yokum.
