I hop M.C.E. stays with Y&R 4ever just to aggravate those who dislike her…Adam and Chelsea 4ever the new king and queen of Y&R…they RULE!!! lol

Yay to that.

I can’t stand the Chelsea character

But i love characters others hate…it gets people talking! lol

Hate the Chelsea character! The only women for Adam is Sharon

You are suppose to hate her…thats why she is written that way but for me she is the woman i love to hate…i understand not how some wont feel about her like i do.

Chelsea needs to be off the show. I love Shadam and this Character was one hot mess from day one

She is hot…but im not thinking in the same way you do! lol

They need to send MCE back to Pine Valley. Team Sharon and Adam

But i enjoy the trouble she causes right here in Genoa City…and with fans! Otherwise Adam and Sharon would be dull without some problem thrown in!

Chelsea is so boring and Avery needs to be with this Dylan who also does nothing for this show. The core of the Show is Sharon and Adam. I can’t get enough of them 🙂

I agree…Chelsea can be boring at times but i blame the writers for that…i like her but feel more would too with just a few changes in the characters personality and story away from Adam and Sharon a little bit more. Id make this triangle somewhat like AWs old popular Steve/Alice/Rachel triangle where you want Steve with the heroine Alice but at the same time youd like to see Steve with the villainous Rachel too.

Chelsea and Avery boring as dirt

Just Avery always crying ,bosoms hanging out not the one for Nick.send her packing.

So sick of Avery and Chelsea this is bad real bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think M.C.E is awesome! I hope she stay’s too!!!

MCE was not good on this show coming from this Y&R vet of 37 yrs

Sorry to hear that…Time is just what it is,,,Time :)))

me too MCE time to leave

I can’t stand Chelsea boring con

I can’t believe how horrendous this show has become under Jill Farren Phelps’ leadership and Josh Griffith’s writing.

Kinda makes a fan miss the days of Lynn Marie Latham and (gulp!) Maria Arena Bell. Yes, I said it and even sadder, I meant it!

Dont feel bad…some of us agree!

I agree!! We need new writers and better plots. The writers do not even know the sequence of events. Jack and Phyllis was talking about Fisher the dog!!! I think NOT. Fisher was Noah’s dog and Jack was married to Sharon! Get a clue and ax the boring storylines along with the boring cast that has been added!

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.

Check out the video featuring Nancy’s friends and co-stars below.  Now let us know, your thought son the line-up for the benefit and helping raise awareness and funds for ALS research via the comment section.

‘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.
