TV Guide's HOT LIST: GH's Ava and Morgan HOT BED & The Stafford Project HOT MESS!

Courtesy/TVGStaffordProject
TV Guide Magazine unveiled their annual Hot List issue Monday night at an exclusive party at The Emerson Theater in Los Angeles.
And today, the issue hit the newsstands which contains the editors picks in an issue that celebrates the year’s hottest television shows, stars and trends with their special mentions and categories in TVG’s list!
So who’s smoking hot? For starters, Michelle Stafford’s The Stafford Project is hot! It was the only web series picked on TVG’s list of lists! The Stafford Project gets the honor of Hot Mess! TVG’s Michael Logan points out that Stafford, “Plays Michelle, soap star, loser in love, who inadvertently dates an assassin, gets upstaged on the job, and fends off her horny gynecologist!”
And leave it to General Hospital’s mob moll Ava Jerome, and her inability to resist the much younger Morgan Corinthos, who happens to be the son of her family’s arch enemy Sonny Corinthos, to make the hot list. The sizzling chemistry between Daytime Emmy winner, Maura West and GH newcomer Bryan Craig made TVG’s list under Hot Bed! TVG’s Michael Logan relates on the choice on Bryan Craig and Ava and Morgan’s trysts: “He is a marvelous muddle of puppy awkwardness and testy testosterone. It’s the scandal of Port Charles, but this was no one-night mistake.”
So do you agree with TV Guide’s choices of Ava and Michael as Hot Bed, and The Stafford Project as Hot Mess for inclusion on their 2013 Hot List? Let us know!
I love Ava and Morgan!!!
They are very interesting and intriguing!!
I give praise to any woman that has the confidence to be a cougar!!
Hey.. I would cougar all over Morgan!!!
(men can be with women 20 years below their age and get patted on the back from their buddies for their catch!!
I am totally 100% for ‘equal opportunity’!!!! 😉
GO AVA !!!!!
Ava and Morgan have great chemistry…they should remain together!!!
I completely agree with you. They are HOT!
I love Maura West as Ava Jerome! Ms. West has chemistry with every female and male actor on the show! Such a great addition to the cast!
I totally agree…love the dynamic with the men a woman…her and Carlye are so explosive…it should be an exciting ride….so love GH!
Maura West was fantastic as Carly on As the World Turns. I may tune into GH soon (haven’t seen it in years) just because of her…and Roger Howarth who was also on ATWT. MISS THAT SHOW !
I LOVE Morgan/Ava scenes–and people’s reactions to them, too, such as Diane’s “Oh, Morgan, I see you still haven’t found your shirt.”
Is it me or has Carol Hennessy aka “Diane Miller” gotten better? The lines are obviously the writers, but her delivery gets better and better. That line about the shirt got me too, as did when she first saw Morgan and said “It seems like just yesterday you were a little boy, practicing your karate whips!”
i know, right?
when she saw Franco shirtless….
“I didn’t know you were “SO” healthy…” as she sauntered and sashayed her full figured cum hither
———–
kudos to carol Hennessy – ala the current day, ex Marion Colby, AMC
or… Gloria (Glo herself) Judith Chapman – Y&R
My favorite couple right now! they sizzle together and the storyline opportunities are endless with these two – I’m seeing them developing feelings for each other already. Team Morgan/Ava all the way!
They have amazing chemistry together, its a very daring storyline. I worry though about characters destructing. Morgan will spirrel if rejected by his own Father as well the Jeromes, if her turns on them. Ava will spirrel if she is caught in the crossfire of being revealed as a killer which is already happening, I want Ava good—not bad!!
Anything involving Maura West (Ava, GH; ex-Carly, ATWT) is destined to be great, hot and steamy! The girl can act her ass off! So I’m not surprised she made the list!
Go Maura !She is magnificent any time she is on screen.Ava and Morgan,how could that not be HOT!?
I totally agree with Michelle Stafford’s – The Stafford Project – being a HOT MESS !!!
If MS thinks this venture will get her a Prime Time gig, she needs to think again.
Looks like her hot mess of a show got her into a mainstream magazine so she is doing something right. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but the series seems to be catching the attention of some people that matter. Good for her! At least she is trying to step out of the box,
When Michelle Stafford reads the “mainstream magazine” says her project is a HOT MESS, I doubt she’ll be jumping for joy.
From what I have seen on Twitter, FB and Instagram, she is THRILLED. She had photos from the TV Guide party that she and producers went to on twitter and Instagram. She also shared screen shots from the photo spread in TV Guide.
Ummm what you two don’t understand is that you have to be a bit more savvy in reading the Article before posting your comments. It’s a Hot show with a Hot Mess character. Because so much happens to her. Ya see how that works???
You’re right, davleestev .. 🙂
I misread the article .. 🙁
That said – The Stafford Project – is not my cup of tea .. so, I still think it’s a hot mess.
Love the Ava/Morgan affair. I’m a fan. And yes, they are totally hot!
Congrats to Michelle Stafford. Loved her as Phyllis and miss her on Y&R. Haven’t caught her web series and probably won’t. But happy for her success.
I miss Michelle Stafford too.
“Phyllis” was one of my favourite characters.
“…It’s the scandal of Port Charles, but this was no one-night mistake.”
Ava and Morgan!
hip hip hooray. why not… it’s unmistakable – no denying… feast for the fodder… stimuli
that triggers your goodies

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
