lol
why would Melody be cast as Reeses mother, it would be grandmother..
Noah and Summer, her grandchildren on Y&R are older than Randy Milhouse (Reese Mishler)
ahaa that is just not right..
I bookemarked it and will watch- looks interesting ..

I really hope Nikki does not forgive Victor. He claims poor Sharon is the bad one but he is so so so much worse

sharon is the best and prettiest on y and r

Awesome news! Melody is a very dynamic actress; they should consider themselves lucky to get her!

What fantastic casting! Melody is a top notch actress, who I’m sure will brighten up the series.

ok-
When I look at Melody I see Nikki of Y&R who has a middle aged son Nick and a daughter Victoria, both have grown children and one married, and that makes Nikki a grandmother of adults..
And if either Noha or Summer have a baby, and both could, then Nikki will be a great grandmother.. As a matter of fact that could happen any day..
Now I see Nikki playing the role of a mother of a son the same age or younger than her married granddaughter Summer who could make her a ‘great grandmother, Y&R..
That is too weird! but that’s show business LOL ..

Nick is not middle aged.

Well, Sharon in real life is 43, and Nick I have no idea, but probably close.

Nick is is 40 in real life Sharon is older

Wasn’t Cassie a teenager when she died, around 14-15 yrs. old? How long has she been dead? She would be over 30 by now I believe. Summer was conceived as a result of Nick’s grief over losing Cassie but now we have Summer, Mariah & Noah as peers hanging out together. Summer should be much younger & Mariah much older. Nick is definitely middle aged. Think of Lauren who has a son Scotty who is a doctor! Lauren should be pushing 60 but she was wanting a baby. And Paul & Christine “starting a family” cracks me up. Gotta love our soaps.

I love Sharon and Adam together in the past and hope Sharon and Adam nu Adam get together because Chelsea needs to be with someone other then Adam

I hope this does not mean that she will be leaving Y&R? Y&R could not afford to lose her, that soap is clinging on the edge as it is, with viewers upset over the new writers, and the outrageous story lines.

You’re absolutely right. Even the new eye candy can distract ne from the awful dialogue, plodding and dangling storylines and the lack of continuity. Somebody needs to step in and do something about this. I could d wonders for this show.

Melody Thomas Scott is a very good actress in this show just like her role in young and the restless I really like her acting

That is a GREAT photo of Scott with the article.

DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ!

I can’t believe Melody Thomas Scott would join an awful show like this. Profanity, gay sex and terrible acting. Couldn’t get through one episode. Makes me sick!

This show and everyone on it are hot messes. The producer has sued half the cast to recover salaries because these people supposedly didn’t support the show through social media. He is suing Bryan Craig for not doing enough work and hit on everybody on the set. He had closeted actor Reese Mishler “practice” giving oral sex with him in his apartment and hotel room. BAD SHOW, BAD PEOPLE.

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.
