Many of you have been posting comments to our item on the new shortened General Hospital opening title sequence that first aired on Monday’s episode.   Now today on Tuesday’s episode, a different array of characters and performers appear in the line-up with a different theme.  And as we explained, we are hearing there will several new cast configurations seen over the next several days.

The music bed theme we are hearing today sounds exactly like the opening sequence theme from GH’s primetime spinoff GH: Night Shift!  We think it’s part of the same music theme.

So how do you like this version’s music and the rotating cast?   Let us know after watching the video clip after the jump, if you are thumbs up or thumbs down on this one!

WHO CARES.

I like the music, but I would love if they brought back Autumn Breeze or Faces of the Heart..

I like the fact that they are changing the cast pictures up. It’s nice to not see Sonny, Jason, Carly and Sam in the beginning, but I do miss the GH music.

What are they trying to prove or change up with this? Aren’t they suppose to have “all contract” players in the opening? Where is Traci and Edward? Not sure I like this at all!!

I don’t mind the cast rotating. Fine idea. I believe “One Life” did that. But the “music” is bad, and the photos go by too fast.

I agree! Not a fan of the music and photos are way too fast.

Forgot to say they should bring back the Dave Koz music, or have him write something new. that was the best music GH ever had.

Why not spend a fraction of a second on the significant actors they brought back from the past and what about the temporary ones to lure viewers?

Great idea!!!

To be honest when I heard it today, all I thought about was an updated Anther World opening from 2005. I am glad that they have updated it and made it shorter but would rather have all cast included. I also like the fast paced there taking with the show and opening….maybe this might just work!!

i really like the variety but miss the gh theme…………..

Still thumbs down… but it does go by so quickly you can’t really get a feel for the music. Would like the GH music.

don’t like it

we need to know what happen to every one on OLTL and where is robin going. I liked the ne Todd better than this one

I didn’t care for the music on Tuesday, but today’s (Wednesday), I thought sounded different or maybe I didn’t notice?! Ha! Ha!

In any event, SO glad that Jonathan Jackson is still in the opening credits. That speaks volumes!!

It either means he’s coming back(doubtful) or who ever is in charge of the opening credits doesn’t know who is in and who is out, and it doesn’t surprise me, on OLTL they had actors showing in the opening credits long after they were gone. It just makes them look like they don’t pay attention or care or lazy.

SHORT AND SWEET I could care less about the opening and the music,days of our lives have been showing the same hour glass ,its the same one that I watched 40 years ago when I quit watching when they moved days of our lives at the same time one life to life was on, well i choose to stick with one life to live a decision to this day ,I never regretted,less music,more show time .

the first day it took me playing it several times to get used to it but then second third and fourth day have been horrible, basically they show the same actors in different order, and to top it off in two of those sequence they show Jonathan Jackson in the credits, and he’s gone!. Maybe to alot of people it isn’t a big deal, but I believe even small things make a difference, it shows that no one is paying attention and to add further insult, i heard the music director for the show was fired so that FV could bring someone from OLTL, who in my opinion had one of the cheesiest opening. So MR. FV, why did you fire someone who was doing their job righ?

Does anyone know when the Paul Glass background music/song selections will start to air..? Chaning the intro song is one thing, what is making me nervous is changing the background music, since I think RC Cates is so great. Has Paul Glass’s background music already begun to air? The last couple days for Robin have been outstanding.. is this Glass’s work? Or Cates? This is troubling to me, because if what I heard today and yesterday is Cates, then Valentini fired a true master. If it is Glass’s work already, I can breath a sigh of relief.. anyone know..?

As far as intro goes… I wish they would as least have a version of what we know as the GH intro.. but like I said, what’s really troubling me is to change the backgrouond music, since it will def affect the entire mood/feel of the show… anyone know if Glass’s music has been airing..? I can’t seem to find it on Google….

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.
