Oh, how we miss seeing the talents of Trevor St. John every day on our screens!  The former star of One Life to Live where he played Victor Lord Jr., wowed audiences from the last second of the ABC run of the series, to even being one of the must-see parts of the online version of the soap opera.  The actor, who is always booking motion picture and television roles, has landed yet another part in what seems to be a very intriguing pilot for the CW.

News out of Deadline.com has that Trevor has been tapped as one of the major roles in the new drama, Cordon! The series centers around what happens in the aftermath of a deadly epidemic outbreak in Atlanta.

St. John will play the role of Leo. The character is said to be, “A once-celebrated personality in the world of journalism. When he starts to receive Intel from a mysterious anonymous source about the particulars of the epidemic and the government’s response, Leo must dust off his investigative instincts in order to uncover the machinations he believes lie at the heart of the outbreak.”

What do you think of Trevor’s new part? Hope it get the greenlight to series? Missing him on the soaps? Share your thoughts below!

All I can say is…hot, hot hot. I will definitely watch.
…so glad to see Trevor back on TV. My ‘other’ favorite, Todd a Manning. He will definitely bring his own spicy deviltry to any project. Love him.

LOVE him! Can’t wait for this. It sounds good.

Cant wait 2 see who she choose jake will be the one i bet

I loved Trevor St. John as Todd on OLTL !!
I cant wait to see him again..

RH was a great Todd but when Trevor St. John took over the role for 8 years , I loved him !!

I’m so glad you said that. Trevor was terrific as Todd. He brought growth to the character. I will never forget the lethal injection scenes or the scenes of this broken, dysfunctional man grieving after Tea’s “death.” He broke my heart in those scenes. I’m so excited that we will get to enjoy Trevor’s talent on TV again.

Omg, Loan viewer 717… I get chills remembering those heartbreaking lethal injection scenes. He was heartbreaking in that story…

Llanviewer..argh!!! My iPad keeps auto correcting words and I don’t notice the gibberish til after I hit send !!!

How I have missed Trevor St. John. He was fantastic as Todd Manning/Victor Lord Jr. I normally don’t watch anything on CW; but, I’ll definitely tune in to see him. Congratulations Trevor!!!!!!!!!

Same here, don’t watch anything on CW, but I will definitely check this out!

Trevor is terrific! This is such good news. 😉

“A once-celebrated personality in the world of journalism…” that could describe his former alter-ego, Todd.

🙂

you know… first thing that came to mind when I saw his photo here, is that crossover promo video ABC ran with the “what if” Spinelli met Todd (trevor’s version) on an airplane…. and Todd scares the crap out of Spinelli. 😀

It’s interesting because Roger is playing a journalist on The Flash. Talk about typecasting! Next well see Erika showing up on both shows as their editor! Love it…great actor. Would love to watch him in something again. Hope it’s a good show.

good luck , hope the show works out !! all the best — miss oltl

Same here, Brian. Each time I think of OLTL, I get this aching pang….miss the show so, so much. It’s funny how I just loved every character…only soap in which that has ever happened for me. Good or bad, I loved them all….well, except for Stacy Morasco….LOL.

Can’t wait to see him ,he is a great actor and we all wish him the best of luck.

Love TSJ, will definitely watch the show, he is a fabulous actor

I am so happy for him. I do hope so that the pilot makes it. He is a great actor and person. I met a few times and all i can say is nice things about him. Miss him so much on TV . He was GREAT on OLTL . I have a couple of his movies…Hope everything works out great for him. your number one fan/

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.
