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

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 it can be brought back in a good way.

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 I just can not see John jumping into another relationship with someone when Natalie and Liam are still in the picture.

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 they have because all Sam does is complain to him about Jason and feel sorry for herself. It makes no since to me.

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 way to lose viewers that you just gained, and to ensure that your show is in trouble?…..keep writing the way you are, and you’ll see.

If you were going to bring cast members from OLTL on GH, you should have made them brand new characters, because this integration isn’t working. Ron is just ruining the characters that we grew to love to appease his new agenda that he has for GH. John would never kiss another woman!! Or abandon his family!! This storyline is complete total crap!!!

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! 🙂

Don’ t want John & Sam together at all…………….She needs to go back to Jason before Elizabeth snatches him up…………………

agreed from a GH & OLTL standpoint… both sides characters are being assassinated.

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 about the paternity, because he had dealt with the very same issue with Natalie. Now, after knowing her for a matter of moments, he makes out with her?! Really? I was fine with the integration, until all the OLTL characters started dropping like flies. I don’t see how anyone who is a fan of OLTL can be happy with what’s gone down. My main point was they should have just been brought on new characters, rather than having John cheat on Natalie and leave his son in the wind….but if the death of Cole, Hope & Tea’s baby makes you tune in, so be it.

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.

Love it all, mostly Heather Webber! She entertains the hell out of me.

She is good isn’t she? I love her, And hope they keep her around for a very long time.

I love how Heather is giving Todd the business! Finally someone who can stand up to him! I can’t stand John with Sam or Michael with Starr! Bad matches!

She has always been WACKO HEATHER……………………….Even in the past….

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. Can’t believe John has forgotten about Natalie. CAN believe brain-damaged Jason forgetting about Sam and going back to Elizabeth.

I couldn’t stomach, Starr… telling, the judge… that Kate/Connie, is ILL…. and the judge… letting her off… if she seeks help, for her DID. I would want to be dead… lose my mind… if I lost my fiance and child. period. i will praise, “kate’s” acting… her love for Sonny is real to me. She, like Jenn Lilly… needs to lay off all the make-up… the severe eye liner.. and too bright red lipstick… she’s not queen liz taylor… cleopatra… she looks so much better sans all that make-up… more natural.

the princess mob story… is done… for me. we all know it’s summer, lure, younger viewers plot time. this story is not working. if, it turns out.. that he could be kate’s son… she better right him, quickly. it’s too kiddy… for me… is he with, starr or kristina… who cares? Michael, and Starr? i don’t know about that either… it’s too soon. I don’t believe, that one, can get over such tragic, shock to the mind, body, and soul… that easily. it’s also, dumbing, down.. for Starr.. to be singing… at Johnny and Lulu’s new “casino”.

I hope, Johnny… isn’t the one responsible… for shooting out the tires of Starr’s fiance,and child… if, in fact… kate/connie… “did” it. could it be, that the writers, are going to find Dr. Keener responsible… perhaps.. he hypnotized… steered kate/connie, she has lapse in remembering… that he’s some how blocking her memory… and letting her be responsible… ok.. help me out here.. I just don’t want it to be johnny… these visons… flashes of guilt, angst, remorse, however, one want’s to believe… Johnny has to be redeemed.

as, for, John McBain… i didn’t watch OLTL… i did watch the last few months however… and found it funny… that McBain… was always the only one at the OLTL police station… and I never saw any real true intimacy with Natalie… so.. it’s like he had a hard time expressing feelings… IMO.. he’s more “alive” in port charles… and somewhat… with Sam.

wouldn’t it be nice.. to have real commupance… for sonny… and the mob? McBain… Johnny… etc….

Sam and Jason… it wasn’t right.. how Jason, treated Sam… especially, after the rape… and not accepting… her baby… regardless of the outcome… his silent, tough guy… with all that’s happened to Sam… is hard to swallow… intolerable…. especially, with his moving on.. not fighting for Sam.. kissing elizabeth… it’s nice that Sam, has found her voice… at least… this is happening… let’s get tough… ala charlies angels.. ok.. dumb imitation… but sleuth… Sam! fight for your convictions.. your instinct… your maternal being. That baby, was real.

GH… it’s as, if the baby switch, and her baby dying… never happened… they, did this with elizabeths… Jake… as well…

I hope GH, isn’t writing, heather, in to a corner… with the kidnap of luke. Heather, is a beacon of old serial… and this is respectful. she’s a charming… eduring… question? is she that batty?

finally, I give props, to Jen Lilly… she had so much to do, as the new Maxie… Kirsten Storms missed so much….. Jenn lilly acted her best. Spinelli breaking up with maxie… was good… excellent stuff…. he was done doorMATTing… waiting… patience.. run amok… playing havok with spinelli… so, this should be good stuff for kirsten Storms to act out.. when, she’s back… this ending… made me like and appreciate Spinelli.

Patrick…. and his prescription “plan”.. is what has me watching… the fallout.. crashing… over, his love life, and marriage… his job… is true to life.

I love John and Sam and I’m an ONE LIFE TO LIVE fan. I like all the couples except Michael and Starr

I like John & Natalie … NOT SAM……………………And I am OLTL fan TOO!!!!!!!!

They are missing something..Sam & John just don’t have the WOW factor for me!!! Like he dad with Natalie…Natalie & John had that WOW factor the first time they played pool together at Rowdy’s………..And the rest is history………..

Well the Starr/Michael kiss is ok but Sam-John no way in h-ll! I’m not even going to bless that with watching….In all the time on OLTL John never cheated on Natalie and all that time he spent wanting her back then gettting her back only to cheat and kiss somebody else yeah that makes since! Not…I don’t think TPTB have a clue what a mess up this is and how ticked off all these fan bases are except for John/Sam-ex caleb Livie fans!! the ones I’ve posted with that John/Nat on OLTL were their favs and Sam/Jason on GH were their favs..Makes them feel like they lost two soaps….This is not John Mcbain as we knew him he would never ever kiss somebody else when with Natalie. I am done with as this crap…they have killed Tea’s baby. Starr and cole…..made a Joke out of John/Natalies HEA…I’ve been on the boards since this broke the only ones happy are the John/Sam ex caleb livvie fans all the others are angry and are wanting to tune out….This pairing will kill GH…everytime they have been on, that day the ratings have sunk I have been keeping track….TpTB better wake up soon…I’m only watching GH now when there is no Sam/John scenes. I’d like to keep some good memories of OLTL and John/Natlie….How can you break up two long 9yrs couples for one…(poor Natalie and Liam) discusting.

I hear what you are saying, watched both GH & OLTL I’m a natalie & john fan & a jasam fan so imagine how I feel seeing this!!! u are right only the john/sam & caleb/livie fans are pleased, a lot of GH fans have tuned out as well! I know not all fan bases will be pleased at any given time but are you trying to please a fan base from a totally different soap… way to go TPTB! great job at increasing viewership & ratings

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 haters) as long as there are good story lines I’m in. Do wish the Mob Princess storyline would go away it’s bad!

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 agree with all of this! I love the Heather-Luke dynamic enough to want to see that scene. Apart from proclaiming my Elizabeth and Ewen love, Alexis is next on my agenda. I would love to see her in a passionate affair with someone. It’s time!

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 love Michael Easton and was so happy he was coming to GH… BUT this is what I feared that the faithful OLTLers that loved Jolie would be again kicked in the stomach…no wedding….no online happiness however brief…and now John will kiss Sam who is someone he has known all of 5 minutes. 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 book and unfortunately I don’t care about them anymore. Still love the actors don’t like the way the loyal Jolie fans have been cheated on once again. This is too bad because I was thrilled with what has happened with GH since Ron and Frank came over….thanks for letting me vent.

Yes, OLTL fans are screwed again with Jam (JohnSam). Please, no more OLTL deaths after Cole, Hope, and Tea’s baby just to rationalize Jam. I would rather have Melissa Archer on GH and have Roger Howarth leave than put up with Jam.

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.

I agree with you barbara t. Loves OLTL #1….Natalie needs to come to Port Charles & whip John into shape !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And forget about Sam all together !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 instead of his own (take some notes, Jason!). I hope we continue to see this feisty, independent Sam (the ORIGINAL, pre-Jason, Sam) as they progress with her storyline with John. As for Jason and Elizabeth, I’ve never been a fan of either character, but there is no denying Steve and Becky’s chemistry and I think it would be great if the pair had a chance at a real relationship. Michael and Starr, thankfully they’ve moved slowly with their storyline and romance; I think their cautionary steps towards eachother is great!

WRONG.
TOTALLY WRONG.
AND NEVER SHOULD HAPPEN.

Please don’t let John and Sam a couple! They should be siblings! That woud be much more interesting. GH really needs Natalie!Then we’d see fireworks!!

Yes, siblings is a much more interesting storyline. I’m disapointed they went with romance here. I don’t feel passion in the McBain/Sam connection but do feel some tether there.

You hit the nail on the head…With your comment that you don’t feel the passion in McBain/Sam…You certainly felt the passion between John/Natalie!!!! With out a doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 reason for this, and a kiss (while wrong when married to others for sure), does not mean these couples will pair up, it can, in the long run, help get them back to those they belong with. As for Luke and Heather, love the humor and enjoy Luke and Heather, but I can only take her in small doses. As long as there are good storylines, I am loving the show, and I have faith that Frank and Ron know what they are doing. Soooo happy to see GH’s latest ratings up, let’s keep them going in that upward direction. Keep watching!!!!!

John is a deadbeat Dad and a cheater! This is not the John we know and love! Not interested in him and Sam! How do you do that to the woman you claim to love and the child you wanted so desperately! John is a jerk!

On a brighter note, he hasn’t cheated on Natalie yet.

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.

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.

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 !!

Jason is brain-damaged so anything he does is consistent with his character.

david… ok. you have something there.

the brooding, silent type, heck “machismo” mob guy. but, i think, most fans see that underlying sensitive guy. however, with such a big story… .with Jason and Sam… and it was like…. neither one of them really spoke… cause of the rape, and Franco being Jason’s twin. geez, it was like Sam was holding on to? for dear life. and now? and yet, i still ached for these two. and, now, it seems like it’s “doomed”… where is the pay out? Sam is finding her voice… and way again. however, she’d better start MATERNAL’izing… That Baby was real… they can’t just let it go by the wayside…. course, i say this, cause, i immediately, liked Tea. I realize Sam’s investigating… at the SUN… Todd’s newspaper, with Heather working their.

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???

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 the only part of GH right now that sets me on edge although I see how it ties into Joe Jr. Otherwise GH is fabulous.

The kid is trey you know an offspring of the ford brothers. Oh so over this !! Just want to slap him and was’nt Sonny in love forever with Brenda six months ago!!!

I love that idea! That would be great to see how Sonny would handle that! LOL!!

That would be a nice twist and I would like it better then having that Trey guy be Kates Son. You have no Idea where I want to shove that camera.

I was thinking the same thing! I think Trey’s dad could still be “the baf guy” (sorry, I forget his name) but it doesn’t mean Connie/Kate is his mom. I’d love it if it were Spinelli.

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. John Mcbain would never leave Natalie and Liam after what they have been through. GH is destroying the integrity of John McBain if he cheats on Natalie and leaves her. It was sickening wjhen John was with Marty. Jolie fans are not watching GH because it’s just too painful. John and Natalie and Liam deserve a wedding and some happiness. I stayed loyal to OLTL because like Bo Buchanan, John McBain is loyal to his woman and through it all, Natalie (Melissa Archer) is the love of his life.

Ditto!

Couldn’t have said it better:)

couldnt’ have said it better! I didn’t watch the destruction on Friday’s show and won’t watch monday either…..I’m going to remember john on OLTL not this imposter…I got a update from a friend that did watch she said it was Horrible!

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 can understand OLTL fans wanting to keep a favorite couple together, but if they are not bringing Natalie onto GH, there is no future for them. John will not be very successful on GH if he has to stay in a relationship that takes place off screen.

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.

Starr and Michael seem to be the only couple that I find to be interesting. I am not sure yet about John and sam those two, years ago on Port Charles looked beautiful together in other words they were hot, I like Natalie with john and I know hes not the kind of guy who would cheat on the woman he is with and he would never leave town without nat and liam, So that leaves the question, What the hell are they going to do about John? Until they play out his feelings for Nat there can be no Sam and John. But if I was Sam it would be a very long time before I would forget about what Jason did to her, she was raped and he put his feelings above hers about the baby being francos and he ask her to put the baby up for adoption and he also had Johns ass kicked and that caused her to walk into the woods looking for help and because of that her baby died, ( switched by Heather). I use to like Jason and Liz, not anymore, Years ago when they broke them up it bothered me but after a while I got over it and I never cared if they would get back together again. We never had these problems on One life to live, that beautiful soap had so much Love, heart, And family, general hospital is good again but it’s getting to be confusing and I don’t like that the Mob isn’t gone, Can’t believe Jason came in and shot those two goons then leaves.Lets see what happens today and I hope we get to hear another 12 seconds of the opening. and I would like for them to slow it down so I can see all the faces. And I thought that Port Charles Is a small town on Lake Erie? Not a big place Like New York City. Are we picky or what?

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. I am a Jolie fan and that little Liam was the cutest soap baby I’ve ever seen. Don’t like John and Sam as more than friends! I really hate plot-driven writing that destroy characters.

Ditto to the 10th power!

ICAM!!!!!

No, just no. (Well, except for Heather/Luke. Adore her craziness.)

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. But an actual pairing? no. that’s not going to happen — unless she bonked him so hard over the head he doesn’t remember anything… then he’s putty in her crazy hands!

LOVE Heather & Luke too!

John and Sam……
Jason and Sam……

John and Sam for only a minute…..so OLTL don’t sweat…I LIKE JOHN DON’T
GET ME WRONG…

but Jason and Sam….is the real deal

HAPPY KISSES

OK- Jolie fans, TRUST ME, I feel your pain. My favorite soap pairing ever was Victor and Tea, so when they killed their child, not to mention with Tea acting so out of character with her new admiration of her husband’s “killer”- I was PISSED as hell. I wish they would have broughten Melissa Archer on, to at least finish their past if they intended on moving on with McBam.

With that being said, Melissa is NOT coming to GH and Michael signed for three years, he is obviously going to have a love interest, maybe several! Don’t protest against the last remaining ABC soap, nor Michael Easton’s performances simply because you’re holding onto your love for his persona in Llanview. I’m not saying you have to support McBam or any potential interest of John’s on GH, but please don’t tune out. That won’t get you what you want.

Please…another distroyed love story ruined. John & Natalie had passion no one else is gonna EVER have with him.
Sonny, he makes Mc Bain boring as I watch on youtube.
All truth I just cant stand the oither stories I mean so many stories I diont really care for. But not bring Natalie over you ruined a love story yet asgain.
I dont think we’re getting any of what we want by tuning in really except for Sonny.

Their first Mistake was not bringing ME over as a different character, their second mistake was to write him this way, he’s on the phone telling Natalie he loves her and wishes he’s with her and Liam and 24hrs later (soap time) he’s kissing somebody his known all of 5min? I realize if ME is staying on Gh they have to do something but this? To me that is a slap in the face to fans that have followed him the last 9yrs…..The should have brought Natalie over had something happen John think she is dead then move him forward with whoever but at the end of GH (which I believe will be next year) bring her back and let the fans have their HEA back. She could be alive somewhere and we see occational glimses of her….that would have been better then him cheating right after telling her he loves her that doesnt even make sence and destroys his character.

No worries, Nikki. I would never tune out GH because I don’t like John’s new romantic or future pairings. I’m loving GH. Been an ABC soap fan since I was a just a child. 43 years and counting and I’m still in the 18 – 49 demo!

nice :))

As long as GH stays on the air & the characters that are on now stay;I will watch…the show has life again so I have faith whatever the writers are doing will be good 🙂

Why doesn’t Jason just kiss Sonny and get it over with?

BEST COMMENT ON THIS THREAD. but enough sonny-jason-carly. then need to recede to the background and get out of each others’ story lines. i like that cartini has brought more balance to GH. i still could do with less of the “unholy trinity”.

They are saving the Jason/Sonny romance for the next gay sweeps period.

LOL. even, i think, Mr. MOB on forever Sonny…is getting up their.

bring back Lorenzo Alcazar (King), JAX, and add Johnny… now this scene will do

Liking Starr and Michael, not fond of McBam, Calivia was one of a kind (the Vampire theme had alot to do w/that) it would be great to see him w/ Nat.. loving how challenging Heather is, and the more open and smiley todd and John. I think the remix is being handled pretty good. Jason just saved Johns life, so I kinda think it is an unjust move on johns part. I am a Michael Easton fan , though. Hard to find fault…I see alot of potential w/the new mob family in play(Scully) and the pace of the show is awesome. I would love to see them inc. someone from pine Valley, like Aiden Devane or Dr Hayward (even as other people) .I could go on …

Nooo!!!!!! I was totally falling in love with Elizabeth and Ewen! I loved their hospital kiss, and how self-reflective and aware she is with him. And she SMILES around him! How long has it been since a man made her smile?!? *sigh*
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.

I totally, agree with you Dex….

Dr. Keenen oozed sensual. it was someone, NEW for Elizabeth… no pining, yearning, or waiting, for 2nds… ala jason, or Lucky. Someone all her own.

like your words…. “…aware she is with him.” BIG SIGH!

What happened to Liz with Ewen? I liked them together.

Sorry , disapprove of John kissing Sam….bad move…writers need ot get out of the heat and into air conditiong. Natalie deserves better.

Wow I cant stand Michael and Starr. Im fine with all the others. Michael I feel you should stand up for Michael he deserves better than Starr the actress is just that bad in comparision to Abby you just cant compare. ABC just doesnt get how to keep talent bring in favorates has been a problem for a while keep talent not favs

Oh as for Starr at this point since Buddy left at least we can say we saw a great teen to adult love story. Thanks Brandon Buddy and One Life To Live for that much.

Everyone should quit your complaining and just be glad yOU still have general hospital on the air. Just ask guiding light and one life to live fans who would give anything to be in your hospital gowns right now…….give mcbam a chance you just might like what what you c. Johhny Z is fine and so is john mcbain…..

I hear that Natalie might becoming to GH……THAT will be intresting
OK ……know John Mcbain and Sam Mcalll will be kissing I want
her to get her frustration out of the way…..

I am looking forward to::

Jason and Sam finding there baby…..Todd be ashame of himself…..Jasam

have been through so much since Nov 2011……..And its been draining
the show…..!!!!!!!

I want Monica to see her Grandson
I want Alexis Davis to see her Grandson
I want Molly and Kris to see their nephew

And all the family to rejoice in his birth!!!!!

I said Natalie suppose to come to GH….Mark it as a”Spoiler”

My name maybe MCBAMJASAM, but my heart belongs to
Jason Morgan and Sam Mcall!!!!

Say, bye, bye, to that nasty revolution, today was the last day, Now we have to do the same thing next monday stay away from abc at 2 O’clock their throwing another dopy show at us and believe me they are paying attention to there new good afternoon america.

I like John and Sam. Sam has been tolerable for me lately. I hated who she became with Jason. But I think the kiss was just a reactive. John was feeling the booze and feeling his sister’s death was his fault, Sam is still greiving. I’ve always like Liz and Jason but I don’t want her with him. I’ve never care for Jason and Sam but I hate how he’s been treating her during her pregnancy. He needs on a remote island, alone!!!!!! I love Michael & Starr and I hope it goes forward. I enjoy young love stories and they are a cute couple. Heather and Luke are funny.

Love John and Sam together can not get enough of these two. To bad Jason I was a huge Jason and Sam fan but you screwed her over once again. Jason and elizabeth gross.

My comments…John and Natalie hot hot hot …..Sam and John not not not……Melissa Archer would be an asset to any daytime show…..she is gorgeous and one hell of an actress. …Sam – who is so boring. (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?

ditto

Turned off GH until Melissa Archer is hired as Natalie to be reunited with John.

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!

John needs to be with Natalie and Liam. Nuff said.

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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
