So far, the new Jason/Jake has done nothing for me on GH. A total nothing. Hopefully, this will improve.

Funny how two people can have such a vast difference of opinion, Charday. I feel exactly the way you feel about Billy Miller as I do about Jason Thompson. LOL. This guy does nothing for me.
JT is absolutely lackluster, and I really try to see what everyone else sees in him.
Earika, I agree, Billy is the best, and as far as I can see, the majority of GH fans like him….they do see him as the great talent that he is.

@CeeCee….I always pretty much had a neutral response to JT and his Patrick…didn’t love him or loathe him. …particularly when he was with Robin. (I’ll never understand the rabid “Scrubs” contingent that remains to this day….) But having said that, my heart totally went out to the guy when he was shackled with the Sappy storyline….it was so simply unbearable that I couldn’t wait to see Dr. Drake set free…and now that he has found a certain measure of happiness with Sam, I’m content enough to watch him in this current romance. As for BM….I’m loving him as nuJason. Again, even though I was able to tolerate SB in the role, he neither moved nor excited me, and when he left, I didn’t mourn his loss. Thus, it’s wonderful to have a fresh new face…and talent….bringing a former character back to life.

Both good actors, neither has sex appeal. They tamed Patrick too much and Jason should have stayed dead and Billy Miller should have been Dylan Quartermaine!

Absolutely agree 100%

@Shay.
I was not too familiar with SB or his role as Jason. However, as Y&R’s Dylan, he brings nothing to marvel or talk about with any enthusiasm. He is just there. A robot; a door-knob, to be used when needed. I have yet to see him smile. He just looks like a bully to me. I know it’s not fair…but, this is how I see him. JMO.
I am so happy to see BM back on my screen.

Jason Thompson? I do not understand what the hoopla is all about. I find him neither attractive nor as talented as he is made out to be. Am I missing something? Later, Shay, Shay.

I’m on the fence about Billy, Erica. He comes across as very likeable, he’s nice looking and has a genuine quality about him. But yet there’s something about his acting that doesn’t work for me…exaggerated sadness, teeth clenching anger…dunno…just not organic. Jason Thompson is much more authentic. He’s got a soft yet confident demeanor…we’ve seen him at the beginning in his arrogant, womanizing days to the utterly heartbroken, crushed widow…his tears, the depth of his despair couldn’t have come across more real. He’s just born to act…I like Billy enough to keep an open mind. Perhaps when he remembers phish two selves, Jason M and Jason Q…he’ll make more of an impact for those of us not quite sold…

Charday…i think #billymiller is doing a fab job!!! He’s making this part his own. You have to realize he’s playing someone who is confused about who he is and flashing back to events that he can’t imagine doing. Many old GH fans won’t give him a chance . I urge you to sit back and really watch what a wonderful actor Billy is!

I love billy Miller !!!! he is awesome as Jake/Jason !!!

@ Earika – very good. I hear ya. Billy Miller is brilliant as Jake/Jason.
And… I’m a longtime (aka old) GH fan, and I am all for Billy Miller.
Go Billy go!

I am loving Billy Miller as Jake/Jason. He is a better actor than SB. I am loving his tortured buildup to putting the pieces oh his life together.

…im an older GH fan and i like Billy M. as Jason…he is doing a fine job!!!

what did Steve Burton, really do ? aside from grab your gun fire retreat and all is right with the world… Sam included

watching Billy Miller.. give nuance, difference, make inroads, climactic… that they’re… offside Liz, Carly, and Sam…. dare now

he’s moving energy

it’s a zeal that’s ennervating… is the writing up to snuff… had not pentonville showcased alongside… adding the full cast… to feature… as should.. Jake/nuJason… is whetting… place

I still say go with Quartermania… dole their

Liz with Ric is working
Carly festering without (Sonny ) she made her choice
Sam does Patrick (for all the wrong reason) Daniel Edward is prompted

I don’t know.. of course i want it to be Liz… but at the talent expense of Rick Hearst?

absolutely not

I am so intrigued by the “action” that “Jake Doe” featured with Sam wronged
let that be a feature not done in… would that continue on with “jake Doe and Nikolas” ?

let him recall his education with doctor… get him at the hosp… and dual with Dr. Drake, Silas, and strut his big

drool… it’s better with than left

He is great. He is Jason and thats that so I’m rooting for him and Sam. They seem to have chemistry.

SB’s Jason is dead..
Billy Miller is not going to be Jason, as Jason once was..
At the moment he is not Jason so we can’t expect him be Jason, he is Jake..

I think the great Billy Miller will eventually be Jason Quartermaine/ is more likely..

((Billy Miller is full of charisma and he is great at being Jake/Jason..)

Patrick/Jason is awesome! he always brings it home !! one of GH’s greats..

I lovvveeee them both but I twitcam doesnt’ work for me.. is there some place else I can watch this? Why doesn’t it work for me?

I think Billy Miller has got it! He’s in there swinging and making it work. As an actor, he has the quality that you can’t describe, it’s just there and you look forward to seeing him on screen every day on GH or in whatever other project he gets involved in. All of the soap characters are doing an excellent job, it’s not that easy. I’m an east coast actor and I understand the work involved. I say Bravo.

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.
