THIS WEEK ON GH: John Kisses Sam, Jason Kisses Elizabeth & Michael Kisses Starr! – Watch the Video!

Courtesy/ABC

Courtesy/ABC

Nothing like some Fourth of July fireworks to ignite the passion, romance or spur-of-the-moment lip-lock! And where else but in Port Charles does it seem to be running rampant this week!  In the new ABC promo, John (Michael Easton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) have their long awaited moment when they kiss, as OLTL fans scream, “What about Natalie?”   Then is it a knee-jerk reaction or is Jason(Steve Burton) and Elizabeth’s (Rebecca Herbst) kiss the real deal?

And then, Michael (Chad Duell) and Starr  (Kristen Alderson)finally give in to the pull that has been between them, plus Heather (Robin Mattson)c ontinues to taunt Luke (Anthony Geary), her former flame.  What will happen there?

So soapers, watch all the lip-smacking action in the GH video promo after the jump, and then weigh in! Are you happy John kissed Sam? Does it remind you of Caleb and Livvie on Port Charles?  What do you think of Jason and Elizabeth kissing? And Starr trying to move forward with her life post-Cole and Hope?  Is it appropriate at this point in her life?  And what about Luke and Heather?  Are you getting a kick-out of this story, or do you want the powers-that-be to kick that to the curb?

I am ok with Michael and Starr kissing. They will make a good couple. Jason and Liz is questionable. As far as John and Sam are concerned, the writers have already changed McBain from who he was on OLTL. I think he just has the name but he isn’t who he was on the show. I do not want John and Natalie to split but the writers obviously do because they won’t put her on the show. I will be terribly disappointed if they put Sam and John together because Port Charles was years ago and I don’t see how… Read more »

I agree with you Vanessa on the Michael and Starr kissing and Jason and Liz. I can’t believe that they are doing that with John and Sam, sure I liked them on Port Charles and they had good chemistry back then but I don’t see it anymore. Maybe if he was playing a different character it would work but all I can think about when they are together is John and Natalie and the great chemistry they have together. If they tend to keep John on GH then they need to resolve the Natalie and Liam issue. I’m sorry but… Read more »

The old John on OLTL wouldn’t even think of kissing someone else. I agree that if they are going to start the romance thing with John and Sam, they need to first take care of the Natalie/Liam story so that it will be more acceptable and realistic. Otherwise, I know they haven’t changed Todds character and Starr is getting back to who she was so why does Johns character have to be changed. I also agree that if John was playing another character that wasn’t so familiar to viewers for so long it might be better. I don’t see what… Read more »

I agree.. I don’t want Sam & john to get together either….Everything else I am fine with…Oh I don’t know about Luke & Heather…I thought he couldn’t stand the sight of her………………..John & Sam aren’t a good idea..Is John going to forget about his son & Natalie…He told her he loved her on his cell phone when on the airplane …

It’s like Ron is giving the big middle finger to all of the OLTL fans that he so desperately wanted to tune in and watch GH. This is exactly why I quit watching GH, because I could see the writing on the wall with what they were doing with John & Sam, and it did not make me happy. We literally waited over a year for John and Natalie to “talk” and tell each other how they feel…now within a matter of months, John is kissing and hooking up with Sam?! It makes me sick!!!! You wanna know the best… Read more »

Torrey you are dead wrong. The integration of OLTL characters is giving GH the much needed life it needed because of the three ABC soaps, GH had the worst ratings but its contract expired after the previous two. Had its season finished in 2011, GH not AMC would have been cancelled first. So quit your gripping about the infusion, its working, hence the increase in ratings and I hope they do more because Frank is doing an excellent…except for the John & Sam part! 🙂

Vanessa you are spot on with your assessment. Unfortunately Melissa Archer is filming a movie now so she can not commit to GH but hopefully when that is done the insanity that is John and Sam will be over!

I think that even if Melissa wasn’t filming a movie they wouldn’t make it work. I think Michael Easton has great chemistry with a lot of characters and John and Sam could have a special relationship without taking apart Johns character that we spent the last 9 years loving and supporting. character a little bit at a time. I truly want to support GH as much as possible but I don’t want to see the

So, I take it that you’re a OLTL fan, since you’re happy with what’s happened with this integration? I was ok with it, until they brought Cole & Hope on, only to kill them off….Then they brought Tea on, only to kill her child with Victor…..then bringing John on, only to hook up with Sam. There’s no way in the world, John would ever act like this!!! I know I’m not the only one the recognizes the major flaw in this story. After all, when John first came on, he was suggesting to Sam that she be honest with Jason… Read more »

An absolute travesty to have John kissing Sam after everything he went through to be with Natalie and his son. I am so turned off by it I can’t even watch. I know that soaps are supposed to be a suspension of belief but the story has to make some sense to appeal to me. This does not. John doing this with Sam is so far out there I just can’t follow it.

Heather and Luke are a riot. Heather purring “meow” couldn’t be funnier. The other couples look boring in comparison. Can’t believe Starr is ready to more on after Cole and Hope’s deaths.

I did not watch PC but McBain/Sam have chemistry and get and Jason had gotten boring. Great shaking things up and letting Monaco act for a change. Elizabeth & Jason have so much history and they were barely in any scenes before it was not realistic. They have chemistry also. Love the lightening up of McBain’s character. He was always sexy & brooding add funny! Not really liking Heather kidnapping Luke but like the Anna/Tracy triangle. Starr & Michael I didn’t like at first but warming up now. Show is so much better (don’t want to hear from the couple… Read more »

I’m ok w/ Starrcheal, but Jason + Liz again? I don’t see the sparks between them! Liz could have a gorgeous doctor, but she’s kissing a married man. Stop giving Liz guys she can’t have! Set her w/a better fit w/ passionate romance. John and Sam-it’s too soon. Build up that spark into a roaring fire before putting them together. Heather and Luke are freaking awesome in scenes together. They both so great! Luke should just bed-hop. Find a love interest for Alexis; she should have more scenes. Bring in a new Rick for her, so they can deal w/Molly.

I would like Heather to drug Luke to see the look on Luke’s face when he wakes up in bed with her. Liz is long overdue to be with somebody worthy, like Dr. Keenan. And Alexis is past due for romance too.

I wouldn’t really refer to Luke as Heather’s “former flame” since they were never actually together in the first place. Their whole storyline is based on a ill-written rewrite by Guza.

I would have rathered they killed off Natty and Liam them to have John cheat on the mother of his child. Or he could have been someone else, because the John from OLTL would nm’t do that to his family. He and Sam are cheaters in my… Read more »

Seriously, You want to make a bet on whether or not John cheats on Natalie? I don’t know I am hoping that John will behave himself and not cheat on her, the John Mcbain from Landview would never do it, I say he doesn’t, he’s always on the phone telling Nat he loves her so I say no he won’t cheat on her until the Natalie problem is solved, And I do hope he ends up with Natalie and the baby that’s where he belongs.

Well this is just freaking awesome! FINALLY a soap that is bringing back true romance (aside from Heather, but she’s hysterical lol)! I have been LONGING for John and Sam to get together ever since they first interacted. There is such a connection there, not to mention Easton and Monaco’s immense chemistry. As a former OLTL watcher, I would like to see McBain break up with Natalie before McBam moves any further, but this “in this moment” kiss is perfect for right now. I also love how Sam actually has a man in her life that looks after HER needs… Read more »

Elizabeth & Jason have always had chemistry however she will get hurt again when the truth comes out about the baby. I was never a Sam&Jason fan I could not understand his forgiveness of her actions concerning Jake and did she ever even care baby Jake died so I really could care less about her and her baby. Everybody be honest McBain as Tea called him on it always cared about damsels in distress they do not intend to bring Natalie over never did. Luke & Heather too funny!!

Fine with Michael and Starr – cute couple (two young people grieving over losses, finding eachother – fine), I was never a real big fan of Jason and Elizabeth as a couple, although Jake was the cutest child), but considering the storyline, I see why the kiss worked in this case. I loved John and Natalie on OLTL and love JaSam on GH, but I also believe that Ron C and Frank V know darn well that having John and Sam kiss would stir up lots of fan emotions, most not so positive, so I am sure there is a… Read more »

david
Guest

If Melissa Archer is not coming to GH, shall we take bets on how long before John cheats on Natalie? RC disposed of Cole, Hope, and Tea’s baby quickly to sever OLTL storylines. John could be in bed with Sam next week, except I think RC will drag it out past September to increase ratings.

david
Guest
david

I hope John will behave and not cheat on Natalie too, but GH fans aren’t unanimous, and the reality of storylines may be driven more by ratings than fidelity. John did jump into bed with Kelly after a few drinks when he thought Liam wasn’t his son. I don’t know. I hope you are right.

OLTLFAN
Guest
OLTLFAN

John has gone back to Llanview to see Natalie and Liam 2x since he was in Port Charles and made numerous phone calls to say he loves them. If he got drunk and kissed Sam or had a drunken fling ( as has happened before to John) doesn’t mean he doesn’t love Natalie and Liam, it means he was drunk and screwed up as soap couples do and will need to find a way to fix it. Look how Jason messed things up with Sam and now wants her back, but is kissing Liz !!

On another note – I know this is off topic (and I apologize for that), but I wanted to get others prospectives on this.

Who does everyone think is really Kate’s son? I know Trey is the obvious choice for sure, but sometimes in “soap” land, the obvious is just put out there to throw the fans off for a bit, and if that is the case, I am so hoping that her son turns out to be Spinelli. I think that would be a nice twist. Thoughts???

ahc
Guest

I have always wanted Kate’s son to be Spinelli. But I wanted his father to be Sonny (the irony…) I do not want Joe Jr to be Spinelli’s father; Spinelli is so lacking in connection in PC and needs family. To be the product of a rape could change him…ah, but what a lesson for his best friend Jason. I dislike the entire ‘Mob Princess’ storyline and am struggling with the new Kristina. Trey doesn’t help at all so I don’t mind if he is Joe Jrs son as much. He feels disposable to me. The Mob Princess story is… Read more »

I have been watching soaps for 35 years. Not since Luke and Laura has there been a couple as fantastic as john and natalie. OLTL survived the last 9 years based on their amazing love story. I stopped watching GH when the Mob Took over Port Charles. GH needs to go back to its roots, dump Sonny, return Jason as a Quartermaine and bring on the Buchanans. There is no chemistry between John and Sam. Sam should be his long lost adopted sister. Natalie (Melissa Archer) is John’s soul mate, Just look at the eight years of clips on utube.… Read more »

John and Sam are so hot, its about damn time they lip lock. John needs to tell Natty to go pound sand, and apply for joint custody of the kid. That way John and Sam can raise Liam and JJ while working on bringing baby girl Mcbain into existence. Team Mcbam for the win!!!

Many GH fans like me never watched OLTL and have no idea who Natalie is, don’t know the history of John and Natalie, and don’t care since she’s not on GH. If he’s going to stay on GH, he has to be involved with someone who is actually on the show, and Sam is the perfect person. It’s not very interesting to watch a character make one sided phone calls to someone many of the viewers have never even seen.

I LOVE John/Sam pairing! I watched OLTL also, but this is not OLTL!! Natalie is not coming on the show so people need to get over this! Sam & Jason have always been boring, IMO, I’d love to see Jason back with Elizabeth (Ewen doesn’t do anything for me)! Michael and Starr are fine, this is Luke’s big summer sendoff so I’m not worried he’ll be paired with Heather for anything longterm.

I love John and Natalie together, but John got drunk and slept with Kelly when he thought Liam was Brody’s son. So if he got drunk over his sisters death and had a fling with Sam, wouldn’t be far fetched, The chemistry between Michael Easton and Kelly Monico is hot ( as Caleb and Livvie they were awesome ). But would Mr. honesty confess to Natalie? Or would he restle with the ” one night ” in his mind and what it would do to Natalie whom he finally admitted he loves. Could be interesting to see that play out.

Michael & Starr are cute, but it’s too soon. Jason &Liz…he is still married to Sam, other than that I don’t care. John kissing Sam WTF?! His character would NEVER do that.

Michael and Starr kissing – ok Jason and Liz i think will always care/love each other, especially whenever one or both of them are seeming unattached to another. So if they kiss, it’s not a far stretch of the imagination for me. John and Sam – not into that. but that preview could be a dream… never know! and Heather & Luke, that has to be another one of her dreams… which are usually humorous.

Michael and Starr and endearing. Á Jason-Sam-John triangle could be interesting, but I feel for OLTL fans that liked his pairing. The Sam-John thing feels rushed and somewhat contrived given his relationship status.

(she has ruined John for GH) …….I may need to turn GH off for good. at this rate they wouldnt make a year…..,…..Bring back sizzle to screen John and Natalie (who would be great with any male character on GH Dante?

John and Natalie don’t have a healthy relationship I could never get into them especially after watching all the passion, emotion he showed for Evangeline. So as far as his pairing with Sam I’m all for it. Just wish John had more of Caleb’s personality cause he was killer good as Caleb!

Fast-forward to June and Zeke is back. However, from the looks of it, Zeke might find love this time around, or is it something more casual?

According to preview in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, when Zeke settles in at the Metro Court he grabs a drink at the pool, and while there sees a very attractive woman.

Houston shared on the encounter, “He sees this attractive woman and tries to pick her up by being his fun-loving, charming self.  He buys her a drink and there is definitely some chemistry there.”

However, apparently this woman is someone who his sister, Portia, knows well.  The smart money is that he is hitting on Jordan, who has just walked out on a conversation with her ex-husband, Curtis.  This, following the two kissing and Curtis going back to his marriage with Zeke’s sister. But could the woman Zeke is impressed by be someone else?

Pride Month Celebrating LGBTQ+ Soap Supercouples: Nuke, Kish, Otalia & WilSon … Which Stands the Test of Time?

June is Pride Month, the time when across the U.S and the world there are celebrations and commemorations to recognize all who identify as LGBTQ and their allies.

Daytime soap operas have had a rocky road when it comes to the representation of same-sex couples.  The soaps have been at one time leaders in portraying key social issues of our time, as well as treading lightly on other subjects, as to its concerns to ‘turn-off’ its core audiences.

When you look back at the groundbreaking first same-sex weddings, and the first gay kiss, the soaps have come far in some ways in their representations of gay characters, but there is always work to be done to serve and to shed light on the under-represented.

As we reflect back to the then and the now, which LGBTQ soap supercouple remains your favorite and had made a lasting impact? Let’s take a look at four duos who captivated many viewers.

Nuke  – Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer – As the World Turns

Van Hansis (Luke) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) were a key part of the evolution of, and representation of LGBTQ character on the soaps.  ‘Nuke’, as they were known as, became the first gay male soap couple to share an on-screen kiss back in 2007.  ATWT also became known as the first soap to depict a fully realized romantic male couple as an integral part of the show.  There was plenty of backlash along the way for the long-awaited kiss to happen, but when it did, the show moved forward to tell their love story.

Otalia – Olivia Spencer and Natalia Rivera Aitoro – Guiding Light

When Crystal Chappell (Olivia) and Jessica Leccia (Natalia) began to play the love story of Otalia, they had to show their affection by a kiss on the head, or holding hands.  It took quite some time for GL to move forward to have two women, two moms, no less, share a lip lock. The complicated love story featured Natalia being conflicted to face her true romantic feelings for Olivia, because of her value system and religions upbringing, and that made this all the more riveting and frustrating at the same time.  In the end, the rabid fan base for this duo was so great that Chappell wound up creating her own series, Venice, to honor and serve them, remaining one of the LGBTQ communities greatest allies.

Kish – Kyle Lewis and Oliver Fish – One Life to Live

In 2009, One Life to Live’s Kyle Lewis (Brett Claywell) was an out lab tech in Llanview, who back in college had a relationship with Officer Oliver Fish (Scott Evans).  It imploded when Oliver denied he was gay.  For years, Oliver remained in the closet, before finally coming out to himself and Kyle.

Kish had been a big success with the media and One Life’s gay audience. LGBTQ-advocacy groups honored the couple and the story.  However, Kish was cut short when the network felt that the data showed that the storyline was not resonating with the show’s core audience.

WilSon – Will Horton and Sonny Kiriakis – Days of our Lives

Days of our Lives delivered daytime’s first-ever gay male wedding in 2014, between Will (then played by Guy Wilson) and Sonny (then played by Freddie Smith).

In an interview with EW, Days of our Lives executive producer, Ken Corday shared on the union, “Will and Sonny have been together for a while and it was the natural progression of their love story. We didn’t feel like there was anything we could or couldn’t do, we treated them like any other couple on the canvas and continued to grow their romance as such.”

In addition, the coming out story of Will Horton was critically praised and noteworthy for the performances of Chandler Massey, who won three Daytime Emmys for his work in the Outstanding Younger Actor category 2012, 2013 and 2014.  Freddie Smith also won in the same category in 2015.  Will has been played over the years by Chandler Massey and Guy Wilson, while Sonny has been portrayed by Freddie Smith and Zach Tinker.

There have been several other key LGBTQ couples throughout the course of daytime history including All My Children’s Bianca (Eden Riegel) and Reese (Tamara Braun). These two characters were involved in the first same-sex lesbian wedding on daytime. Problem was … Reese kissed Zach (Thorsten Kaye) before the wedding, making this infuriating for viewers at home.

Other notable LGBTQ couples through the years have included: Bianca and Maggie on All My Children, Mariah and Tessa of The Young and the Restless played bv Camryn Grimes and Cait Fairbanks, Maya and Rick on The Bold and the Beautiful, Lucas and Brad on General Hospital and others.

It was just so fulfilling.”
