It’s Valentine’s Week on all of your favorite soaps, which means love and sometimes heartbreak is in the air for some of your favorite passionate or tortured couples!
In this new promo from ABC, General Hospital previews some lovin’ for Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Emme Rylan) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Silas (Michael Easton)!
Meanwhile, Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) looks overwhelmed and quite surprised, Duke (Ian Buchanan) is trying to make amends with Anna (Finola Hughes) with a show of roses, and Carly (Laura Wright) has come to the hospital to see Franco (Roger Howarth) who is not doing so well and they hold hands! And let’s not forget about Morgan (Bryan Craig) and Ava (Maura West)!
At the end of the promo you hear Kristen Alderson’s voice as Kiki going, “Oh, my God!” Will Michael (Chad Duell) be her Valentine? And what about Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) with deception and lies about to implode on their happiness? The promo teases that Valentine’s Day ends with a stunning proposal!
Watch the GH promo after the jump! Then, let us know which Port Charles couple do you hope will stay together? Who belongs to one another? And, who do you think should break up? Valentine’s Day 2014 is on the way!
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!

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

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. 🙂

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.

Carly and Franco are the #1 couple… love them !!

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?

#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 »

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!

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.

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 »

GH’s Brook Kerr and Tabyana Ali Talk On: Trina’s Trial, Spencer and Rory, And Their On-Screen Mother/Daughter Relationship
August 12, 2022
Currently, General Hospital fans are awaiting the verdict in Trina’s trial and just what lengths her mother will go to in order to secure her freedom! With the story playing out on-air, Michael Farman chatted in a new virtual interview with the two women central to the story; Brook Kerr (Portia) and Tabyana Ali (Trina).
As viewers know, Trina was set-up by Esme Prince (Avery Pohl), to make it appear that she taped her best friends, Cameron (William Lipton) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) having sex, and then posted the video from her phone, so it went viral.
Photo: ABC
During the conversation for You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana and Brook weigh-in on what’s gone down at the trial including; how Spencer Cassadine came forward with an alibi for Trina, plus how Portia may put her medical career at risk if she brings Esme’s partner in crime, Oz, out of his coma to get the evidence they need to point the finger on Esme.
In addition, Tabyana and Brook share their thoughts on the men in Trina’s life: Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Rory Cabrera (Michael Blake Kruse), and how the #Sprina has a life of its own on social media.
Courtesy/ABC
Brook also shares dishes on Portia’s romantic relationship with Curtis (Donnell Turner), plus the recent noteworthy scenes between Portia and Stella (Vernee Watson), where GH shed light on a mother’s concern; that racial injustice could factor in to the jury’s decision in Trina’s case.
Photo: ABC
Tabyana also discusses working alongside GH co-stars, Maura West (Ava) and Carolyn Hennesy (Diane), and what it was like taking over the role of Trina from popular fan favorite, Sydney Mikayla.

Check out the full chat with Brook and Tabyana below.
Do you want Trina to end up with Spencer or Rory? Will the jury exonerate Trina? What was your favorite part of the conversation with Brook and Tabyana? Let us know in the comment section.
Kin Shriner Celebrates 45-Year Milestone as General Hospital’s Scott Baldwin
August 2, 2022
What would General Hospital be without Kin Shriner, who has always played Scott Baldwin to the hilt with unique style and acting chops? Today on August 2nd, Kin marks his 45th anniversary with the ABC daytime drama series, and the series just would never be the same without his four decades plus of performances, making him an enduring fan favorite.
Shriner debuted on GH back on this date in 1977. Scott’s love story with Laura (Genie Francis) would begin to set a new trajectory for GH. Later, when Laura married Luke (Tony Geary) in 1981, and Scott made a shocking appearance at the reception and caught the bouquet, the character turned to the dark side which started a new era of story for Scott/Laura/Luke and more.
Photo: ABC
Scott is the stepson of attorney, Lee Baldwin (the late Peter Hansen) and Dr. Gail Adamson (the late Susan Brown); although through the years they tangled over differences, the family loved and cared for one another.
Photo: ABC
In more recent years, Scott’s legal eagle courtroom antics are always a must-see for viewers, as well as any time Shriner gets to show Scott’s emotional side, such as the time he learned his son Franco (Roger Howarth) had died.
Photo: ABC
Kin’s scenes with his current on-screen love interest, Kathleen Gati (Liesl) are always a delight for GH fans, as well.
In addition to his General Hospital run, Shriner appeared as Scott in the GH spinoff; Port Charles from 1997-2000 and again in 2001.
Photo: ABC
Share your congratulations to Kin on his 45th anniversary in the comment section, and then let us know what has been your favorite Scott Baldwin scene through the years.
But first, in case you missed it, check out our interview last year with Kin on the Michael Fairman Channel below.
General Hospital’s Maura West Delivers The ‘Power Performance of the Week’
July 31, 2022
On last Thursday and Friday’s episode of General Hospital, the ABC soap opera finally moved the story forward with the reveal to Ava (Maura West) that Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) and Esme (Avery Pohl) slept together, and within it, fans got to witness the beginning of the fallout and the reaction as played by three-time Daytime Emmy-winner and enduring fan favorite, Maura West.
As one might expect, the material in the hands of the mighty West, and the acting choices she makes are always intriguing and masterful.
In story, things start to unravel for Ava, when outside Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) courtroom trial, Esme and Ava have a confrontation. It is there that Esme snarks at Ava, that she has the ability to destroy her world. When Ava dares her to try, Nikolas shows up on the scene begging Esme to stop. However, a manipulative Esme says, “Too late, I’m ending this right here, right now.” After lighting the fire, Esme walks off telling Nikolas to have a nice chit chat with his wife.
Next, Ava and Nikolas go to a private office, and Nikolas tells her that he made a huge mistake. A now suspicious Ava, asks, “What kind of mistake?” Nikolas then goes on to explain how he slept with Esme, just once, when he thought his relationship with Ava had tanked and had suffered irreparable damage.
Courtesy/ABC
What comes after was where West shined, as a sarcastic Ava quipped, “Poor you, seduced by a high school graduate.” Ava, then launches into that she thought she married a man, but instead she married a spineless weakling, and now she is going to burn him to the ground.
Later at Wyndemere, as Esme is frantically packing her suitcase and taking with her the all-important envelope linking her to Ryan (Jon Lindstrom), Ava appears and a confrontation begins with Ava calling out Esme as a, “conniving little whore”. Esme flaps back that Ava slept with both Morgan and Sonny (Maurice Benard)! Having put two and two together, Ava says she know that Esme is responsible for the revenge sex tape of Cameron (Willian Lipton) and Joss (Eden McCoyand setting fire to her car.
Courtesy/ABC
Ava has wised up from all of Esme’s nasty statements and has come to realize that everything Esme has done including sleeping with Nikolas, feels like a targeted, planned attack on her, and she knows there is more to this story than Esme has ever let on. When Ava spots the envelope in Esme’s suitcase, she goes to get it, but Esme grabs it from her. Then, with a steely warning, Ava tells Esme that she will be going to the courthouse now to exonerate Trina, and if she doesn’t, Ava will make sure Esme disappears and no one will ever be able to find her alive.
Now, while some viewers may be waiting for a knock-down drag-out catfight, we don’t know what will happen on Monday or Tuesday’s episode, but sometimes it’s more delicious just letting the words and its intentions drive the action, and West delivered the goods in spades in scenes with Marcus Coloma and Avery Pohl.
For all the reasons stated above, Michael Fairman TV names Maura West’s work as The Power Performance of the Week.
What did you think of Maura’s performance in the scenes where Ava finds out Nikolas slept with Esme and Ava’s confrontation later with Esme? What do you hope happens next? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section. But firstm check out some moments from West’s performance below.
