ABC Soap Operas

[jules1025]

This was one of my favorite threads on WC. Any ABC soap watchers out there?

I only watch All My Children, but this is open to chat about all ABC soaps. :)

About AMC... The whole Ryan and his psychotic family storyline is dragging. I wish they'd wrap that up already! It looks like Ryan is involved in some kind of fight club (like the movie). Do those things really exist??

I also saw a commercial on upcoming events and it looks like Greenlee does get pregnant! That'll be interesting!

[JRPAGV]

I'm a big fan of General Hospital! :) I almost started a thread for it. I've just recently started watching All My Children a little. I didn't see that commercial about Greenlee being pregnant. That's crazy.

[jarm]

I love GH! Got DH hooked too!

[JRPAGV]

I love GH! Got DH hooked too!

I got my DH hooked too! :D

[LeslieR]

DH watches GH with me, too. lol I've watched literally my whole life, although for me lately, it's more of a bad habit that I can't quit as the show has really been sucking ass for some time now. :mad:

[Holls]

I LOVE GENERAL HOSPITAL!!!!! I will admit though that I don't faithfully catch every episode. So if someone would like to tell me why Georgie is in a wheelchair that would be wonderful. I know they thought about giving Maxi her heart for like all of a preview, but i missed what happened to her. HELP ME OUT! I'm loving you girls more and more!

[jarm]

Georgie fell and hit her head. She had something...can't remember the term...and had to have surgery.

[JRPAGV]

They had to perform surgery to relieve the pressure on her brain.

I'm not a doctor or familiar with that surgery, but I was a little surprised that her hair wasn't shaved at all. And I'm surprised that she wasn't wearing a bandage anymore after a couple of days after surgery. Instead, her hair was full of volume and curls. :rolleyes:

[jarm]

Ahhh...the great magic of soap operas!

[Holls]

Well you know her bf might not have realized his imense LOVE for her if she was bald with huge bandage over her head for 3 months! ;) GOTTA LOVE EM Thanks girls!

[JillyBean]

AMC fan, checking in :D

[Alicia]

another AMC fan! although i'm not quite happy with the Dixie/Di storyline!!!

[citrus619]

I keep up with all three ABC soaps - AMC, OLTL & GH.

I don't like the Dixie/Di storyline either. And is it just me or does Dixie/Di look to "young". In scenes with JR, he looks older than her.

OLTL has been a little annoying lately.

GH - I cannot stand to watch the new Carly or the new Felicia!

[JillyBean]

Not a fan of the Di story, either. Or the whole Ryan story. He's one of my favorite characters, but he's been acting pretty stupid lately.

[JRPAGV]

GH - I cannot stand to watch the new Carly or the new Felicia!
DITTO!

[Alicia]

I don't like the Dixie/Di storyline either. And is it just me or does Dixie/Di look to "young". In scenes with JR, he looks older than her.

I totally agree- they sorta explained it by saying she had all this major surgery as a result of the car accident, but with that extensive of surgery shouldn't she have a scar or two?! Also, I really can't figure out if she is Dixie or not... normally, by now I'd believe its a total rouse set up by David- however how did she know that JR gave her that striped shirt when he was 6 ... as smart as David can be, how could he have known that intimate of a detail. who knows, maybe its the writers not knowing where they're going to take this so they're leaving EVERYTHING open.

[jules1025]

Anyone else feel like the storylines are just dragging on AMC? Sometimes I fast forward through the show b/c it's starting to get boring. :rolleyes: I wish they'd add something/someone in to liven things up!

I'm looking forward to Greenlee getting pregnant and Babe finding out the truth about Dixie/Di.

Ryan's storyline is annoying the hell out of me. He's acting like such an idiot. And, the whole Amanda trying to get Jamie into bed plot - come on already! Could that be dragging any slower?

[nekopie76]

Me too! I guess Babe does find out about Di/Dixie and uses it to make a deal with Adam to get her mother out of jail.

I was laughing at Adam yesterday when all the people were at his house. I do enjoy the humor in this show.

[Rippy1010]

YAY! another AMC fan checking in ...

I have to tell you ... I too fastforward through the Dixie/Di thing. There will never be another Dixie ... I loved Dixie and Tad together (yeah, been watching since I was in middle school) and this woman will never be her. She really annoys me ... the actress even tries to talk like her, and it TRULY irritates the life out of me. When Crystal said "oh my god, are you really dixie? You could have landed in prison, the time matches up." I thought "oh, please god, NO! That cannot be Dixie!!!"

Also, with the Ryan storyline. I'm not happy with his downward spiral at all ... I absolutely LOVED Ryan, and I don't want them making him a "bad guy". He's too cute. :D

Does anyone watch "I Wanna Be a Soapstar!" on soapnet? The guy that plays Ryan hosts that ... The winner gets a 13-week role on AMC.

[Rose]

I don't like the Di/Dixie storyline either. I think when TPTB started it they weren't sure what they were going to do. I read a couple weeks ago that they are still trying to get Cady Mclain back. I would love it if she came back.

[nekopie76]

I read a couple weeks ago that they are still trying to get Cady Mclain back. I would love it if she came back. Ditto! :)

[Cohl]

I too HATE the new Ryan storyline!! He goes from being the most romantic guy to weird underground fighting...bring the old Ryan back!! :(

[isign]

I watch GH all the time - I'm probably too hooked on it :) I'm over Sonny/Carly/Reese/Alcazar. Aside from the way Carly looks, her and Alcazar have no chemistry and his acting sucks when he's with her.

I do like Sam/Jason, especially now that Jason is trying to remember things. Of course there's Lucky/Liz & Jax/Courtney. I like Nicholas but not really Emily.

[Rippy1010]

bring the old Ryan back!!
I KNOW!!! ITA! I looooove the old Ryan ... my kind of man. But, boo on the fighting Ryan. :(


I read a couple weeks ago that they are still trying to get Cady Mclain back. I would love it if she came back.
DITTO on that, too. But she is on As the World Turns right now. I really really like her!


(Kelly ... it is so funny ... I keep thinking that your posts are my posts because of the avatar. So, I'm sitting here going: "I didn't say that!" Then I catch that it's your name. So funny!)

I read this on a spoiler site: Ryan flips when Greenlee tells him about the baby (I guess not at first but after she tells him "How") and rides his bike off a cliff. :eek: Does anyone know if he is leaving the show? The spoiler says that next week Greenlee's life falls apart thinking Ryan is dead. So I am thinking that he isn't dead. As much as I dislike the "new" Ryan, I don't want him to leave. So what do you guys know?

Oh - and Jonathon isn't dead. :confused: I guess he comes back in August and they are casting for their sister, Erin. So I guess the Ryan story line just goes on and on and on and on and on. I wonder if the actors get tried of the storylines too.

(Ally ~ I changed it! I didn't realize you had the same one. And there are so many to pick from. :) )

[isign]

What do ya'll think of the GH story line? Durant can walk, Murphy's the bad cop (he did win the I wanna be a soap star, so I'm wondering if his time's up and they are going to kill him off), Carly knows who Reese really is but doesn't remember, Jax/Courtney/Lucky/Liz. I used to love Jax, but not lately.

[jarm]

GH thoughts...Durant - I hope he gets caught FAST! What a jerk!

Jax/Courtney/Elizabeth/Lucky - I realize that Courtney has some self-esteem issues about the child not being hers, but I think they're overplaying it with the "If my marriage survives this pregnancy thing..." That's probably the turn they're going to take with it, but it's not what I want to see. Liz and Lucky deserve to finally be together. I have a feeling Jax wants to destroy what they have between them. If Jax is so concerned about the legalities of the baby, why doesn't he have Lucky sign away the rights to the child now?

I think it's interesting that they're making a huge story line out of Murphy. They could have just had him move away or something. I have a feeling that Maxie's life is going to be threatened by him again.

Carly and Reese...first of all, I can't stand the new Carly, and second of all, I think the storyline that they created to keep Reese there was great! Carly was always talking about Charlotte. Great! Can't wait to see that play out.

[isign]

I read somewhere a while back in the spoilers that Durant was responsible for AJ kidnapping the kids, but I guess they changed that. I'm really sick of him controlling everything. Does the city not have a say about him being the DA or does he just decide he's the DA?

I see Courtney leaning more on Nicholas, and I don't see him Em surviving. She just seems like a bad actress, I like her, but she doesn't have the passion a person would have if they were fighting for their marriage.

I saw on TV that in the soap opera digest has Carly & Sonny getting back together. I wish she'd just go away.

[jarm]

A big part of the problem is that they have Em going in all different directions. She's the victim and the heroine all in one.

[isign]

That's true. I couldn't belive how quickly they had them back in bed. Sheesh, give them some time. I am very happy to see Lucky finally given some acting time. For a while there it was all about everyone else and he rarely said anything. Were's Rachel & Steven? It's kind of annoying that they are in the opening shots but we haven't seen them for a while.

[jarm]

I was thinking the same thing the other day about Rachel & Steven.

[JRPAGV]

The two head writers at GH are having to re-write several storylines b/c they originally had total control but that's been taken away now that ratings are dropping. *I* think ratings are dropping b/c it's the summer. I think the writers have been doing a good job (for the most part). Anyway, we're going to see some stories suddenly go in a different direction.

They're writing more for Lucky, but I don't like his attitude lately. I know he's frustrated, but he's been a jerk. Durant is also a jerk and he's really grown annoying. I don't care for the new Carly and I don't want to see her with Sonny.

Steven isn't on the show anymore. I read that he had been let go. Rachel is being written out soon too.

[isign]

I just want who ever is doing wardrobe to check out side - it's summer! Reese is forever wearing things that look like winter. Soaps used to be known for their glamerous hair and make up and wearing the latest trends, but they didn't even acknowledge the fact that spring arrived and the colors were bright greens and pinks and yellows (well they were here) and kept them in coats and jackets. Atleast the other carly wore red every now and then. And hair - Reese's hair is always looking like it needs to be brushed.

[JRPAGV]

I agree about the wardrobe! I said the same thing the other day when watching it! They had Emily in hooded sweat shirts until the last few weeks. I guess they were trying to show that she wanted to hide or cover up, but she looked very frumpy. Everyone except Courtney has been dressing like it's still winter.

If any of you read spoilers and like to keep up with comings/goings, then you should check out this site: General Hospital Happenings Two (http://groups.msn.com/GeneralHospitalHappeningsTwo/yourwebpage29.msnw). It's awesome and their spoliers/rumors are almost always right. A few might not be right on b/c the writers are re-writing some stories, but they're usually very reliable. Just scroll down on that first page and check out Rumors, News, and Spoilers.

[JRPAGV]

New guy coming to GH! His real name is Justin Melvey, and he will play the role of Andrew. Some of you may remember him from Days of Our Lives.

[shushyk]

can I join. I miss the spoilers thread.

Is it just me or does anyone else find it really strange and a huge stretch that this little girl manages to hang out at michaels all the time with no word from her parents? are they TRYING to make that a cute little love affair too. I mean at least let the parents KNOW she is there. Its annoying me a lot. Then when they hugged during the storm I was like DONT GO THERE, they are too young.

Can someone explain that story line. NOw that I have tivo I FF a lot when I just want to see certain parts. Are they trying to say that michael didn't kill AJ and jason did?

[JRPAGV]

shushyk: From what I've read on the website I posted a link to above, the storyline with Michael and that little girl will make more sense soon. I don't want to give anything away unless everyone wants me to. I don't think they're taking it in a puppy love direction, though. You'll soon understand why his family never sees her. ;)

[isign]

Thanks for posting that site, I couldn't remember where it was.
I did read the spoiler about Michael & Jodi, but parts don't make sense. Shushyk - I saw that on TV that michael didn't do it. The spoilers are so interesting but they aren't always true. They predicted pregnancys for Sam & Em. I wish the 1st had happened, but glad the 2nd didn't.

[shushyk]

for a while I started to wonder if Jodi was in his head. I read that spoiler also about sam and em. I am SO glad em wasn't pg, but now that story line is becoming a dud and WHY are they getting courtney and nicholas interested in eachother? I wish it was back the way it was before. I also hope sam gets pg again soon, I would love to see that relationship blossom and see jason finally with his own kids.

Is there a spoiler thread here? JRPAGV - did you post the spoiler somewhere?

[isign]

I kind of like Nicholas and Court together. Her and Jax are just too perfect. The spoiler thread is in post #34

[isign]

I really don't like the way they went with Jodi. Why did her mom talk to Michael, but now she's invisible? Makes no sense. I do like Court & Nic together. She's more 'princess type' than Em.

[August'05Mommies]

I am so disgusted with GH. Just when I think it can't get worse, it does. They keep rewriting stories so nothing makes sense anymore. I always figured that Jodie was imaginary and Michael talking to her mom was just part of his imagination as well. The idea of who AJ's killer is going to be is so stupid-who is really going to care that this person killed AJ (I don't want to spoil anyone, so I'm not mentioning the name). I can't stand it. Apparently this is the 3rd time they've changed the killer's identity. Personally, I think Michael as the killer was the best idea of them all-they could have done much more with that storyline.

I haven't liked Courtney in a long time, so I don't care who she ends up with, but Jax is acting like a total ass. I am so sick of him. I can't stand Emily either. ugh.

Truthfully, I ff through most of the show these days. :p

[jarm]

OMG...I just wanted to say that I don't like Nikolas and Courtney together. The thought of Sonny and Emily together is absolutely absurd.

Here's my newest thinking on Jody and Michael. Jody was real, and her family took her away, but now he's imagining her. This way they can bring her back if they choose to.

[LeslieR]

The thought of Sonny and Emily together is absolutely absurd.


Absurd and disgusting.

[isign]

so now it's Dr Thomas huh? I am kind of glad that Michael didn't, but really I wish it'd been Carly so she'd go away to jail. I am really not sure if I am into much of the story lines - maybe Liz & Lucky minus the pregnancy, and I like Skye & Lorenzo together too. I think Tracy/Luke/Coleman was funny. I like Dillon/Maxie/Jesse/Georgie they are cute, but Diego & Brooke, ick. Brooke was so independent and now she's a whiner. Let her persue her singing, I loved it.

[jarm]

I agree about Brooke.

Did Dr. Thomas kill Rachel? Was that on yesterday? I always have it on, but I'm not always watching it.

[LeslieR]

I think he did. They're saying she committed suicide and left a suicide note, but I think he killed her because she knew he killed AJ.

[isign]

Yeah, it was him. I think they are going to go into alot about Jason & AJs past. I know AJ was a sumbag, but I like watching Billy Warlock (is that right?) act. He's so cute :)

I really thinks it's dumb that they'd have him kill AJ but he wasn't even on the show when AJ was killed.

The Sonny, Em's protector, role is really too much. ICK! She needs someone like Jax to 'rescue' her. She's not a strong enough woman to be Nicholas' wife. While I'm not sure if I like him and Courtney, I do like her personality with him.

[Rose]

I have an All My Children question. Who is Di/Dixie? Is she really Dixie?

[LeslieR]

isign, yeah, they are totally re-writing history and it's ticking me off. I loved AJ and this is just one more nail in the coffin of his character. :mad:

[isign]

I didn't watch alot when he was on the show - when he was good. Explain something to me, how was he not hurt in the car accident that took Jason's memory? I love Jason, I want to see more of him. :)

1 thing that bugs me - none of the women are really truely strong, it's like they need their man and if they don't have one they can't survive. Maxies not like that and Brooke wasn't at one point. Georgie shouldn't be, but the older women - ick.

[LeslieR]

That's because MEN are writing the show. :rolleyes: They wouldn't know how to write a storyline involving a strong woman if it hit them over the head.

About AJ, I guess he wasn't hurt because he was drunk. Isn't that always the way?

[doublej]

An AMC fan that is subscribing!

[doublej]

I have an All My Children question. Who is Di/Dixie? Is she really Dixie?


I am not really sure! Whoever she is, she knows a lot about Dixie's life. I am not convinced since the DNA tests come back and showed that she was a relative to JR. That could mean that he is her mother or aunt, etc. I guess we will just have to right and see!


I just love JR! That was so funny when he kicked Amanda out of bed the other day!

[Rippy1010]

If you watched back in the late '80s and early '90s, Dixie had a sister named Lani. I think that she might be Lani. I'm not positive. But, I think that is the way they are going with the whole "close relative" thing. If they were going to bring back Lani, too bad they had to do it this way though because the girl that used to play Lani back then was MUCH MUCH cuter than this girl.

That's just my thinking, though. Who knows where the storyline will go next!

[Rose]

Thanks. I really didn't think it was, but I wasn't sure about the DNA results. I didn't see if they were fixed, or if she is just somehow related.

I really hope Cady Mclain will come back as the real Dixie.

[PookiePrincess]

I have a question about GH...isn't Maxie older than Georgie? I watch most of the time, but not always closely. They keep acting like Georgie is the older one and I swear Maxie is older...but they said one day last week that Maxie is 17/18 which would make Georgie 16/17...they sure don't act like teenagers!

(Didn't last year Georgie and Dylan try to have sex after the prom? Wouldn't you have to already be 16/17/18 to go to prom?)

[isign]

Dylan, Maxie, Diego & Brook Lynn all just graduated from high school and are supposed to be getting ready for college, Dylan going to some fancy school but I think he gave that up. Anyway, Georgie is a year younger than Maxie, but she's always been the good, sweet dependable more mature daughter while Maxie does crazy reckless things that end up bad. Her X bf videotaped them having sex and put it on the internet. She has to be 18 now because Jesse is young 20s, and Mac could legally keep them apart if she wasn't 18 or just about. Weird thing - Lucky is older than Jesse, but he's over him. Since Dylan is older than Georgie, he went to his prom first which is where the sex thing came in at.

Question - did Maxie & Jesse sleep together?

[PookiePrincess]

Thanks, Julie. It drives me crazy that they act like Georgie is older, when I knew she wasn't.

I don't think Maxie and Jesse slept together, but I could be wrong.

[nekopie76]

If you watched back in the late '80s and early '90s, Dixie had a sister named Lani. I think that she might be Lani. I'm not positive. But, I think that is the way they are going with the whole "close relative" thing. If they were going to bring back Lani, too bad they had to do it this way though because the girl that used to play Lani back then was MUCH MUCH cuter than this girl.

They (Adam & Krystal) were talking last week and he said that he had his men find Lani. I guess Lani is wherever and is actually Lani. Does that make sense?

I agree that this woman isn't Dixie. But I don't think Dixie had any other relatives. Of course there always could be one that we don't know about.

Did anyone understand the point of the bank robbery scene? I just thought it was a waste of time.

[Rippy1010]

I figured that the point of the bank robbery was to show Tad jumping into danger to save Dixie/Di/PITA ... whatever you want to call her. ;)

I missed the convo about Adam sending out men to search down Lani. My darn DV-R was having issues with not recording properly. And, there were a few episodes where I was FF-ing through the Dixie/Di crap because I was getting sick of it. LOL! Thanks, Kel. Darn ... there goes my theory. Maybe she had a secret non-identical twin ... HAHAHAHA! You know how things work in the life of soap operas.

I am so sick of Amanda Green! She needs to go somewhere.

And on to another question ... was anyone else getting a little teary-eyed over the Greenley/Ryan storyline in the past two days? Maybe because I'm newly married and overly emotional. :) Ryan is being such a jerk. I used to despise Greenley when she first started on AMC ... but now she has grown on me. :) What do you think the story is with the baby? Remember Dr. Madden had the blood tests run twice, and there is some shocking result?

[isign]

Jason/AJ/Dr Thomas - getting old or interesting? Did they ever show Jason's accident or did he start on the show the way he is?

[LeslieR]

His accident was very real and they showed it on screen. AJ and Jason have both been on the show since they were babies, although they grew up fast like most soap kids. lol Jason Quartermaine was the golden boy like AJ called him. He was very preppy, did no wrong, and was planning to be a dr. That accident changed everything. AJ was played by Sean Kanan at the time-what a great storyline. That was when GH was really good.

[isign]

Has Jason always been played by the same guy? Was there a Dr Thomas in the picture then? If the accident happened 10 years ago, and Michael is 9 (isn't he?) there wasn't much time inbetween the two incidents right?

[LeslieR]

I think Jason has been played by Steve Burton since Jason was aged to a teen. No, there wasn't much time between the accident and Michael being born. I think they have stayed true to that timeline for the most part. There was never a Dr. Thomas, this is something new the writers have added to the story (thus changing history).

[PookiePrincess]

I'm pretty sure you're right Leslie...Steve Burton is the only one to play Jason.

[isign]

Did Jason really flatline like they are saying, and Alan revive him? I really like seein more of Jason/Sam acting together. I like Reese, well I like watching the actress work. I'd rather focus more on Jason/Sam than Liz/Lucky/Jax/Courtney/Nikolas/Em thing, it's just getting old.

[LeslieR]

No, Jason did not flatline like they are saying. All of this is the writers changing history.

[cocoa_femme]

Hey, where is everyone?

Just wanted to post a small vent...I hate Carly! Ugh, she gets on my nerves. Okay, I feel better, now. Thanks. :o

[JRPAGV]

You and me both!!! I loved the old Carly, but this one bothers me and I hate what they've done with the character!

[LeslieR]

Count me in on the 'I hate Carly' party! I wish they wouldn't have broken up that fight today. I really wanted to see Reese kick the shit out of her. lol

[onomatopoeia]

OLTL fans --

was anyone else really disturbed by the fact that Antonio and Jessica had sex after he found her? She admitted to him that Tess had been sleeping around and she has no idea with who or how many and that she didn't want to put Antonio at risk, which was great. It showed responsibilty. But then Antonio says he's not scared and they go ahead anyway. Gross! Even if they used a condom, if she has something, he can still get it. What a bad message to display to teens out there watching over their summer vacations. I think I might write a letter to the show. it would have been more believeable if they would have waited til she got an STD test. I was very disappointed.

Anyone else like Tess better? I actually felt sad for Nash (he's so cute and nice) and I am very interested in what will happen if he finds jessica (tess)....

[jarm]

AMC question...I was away last week and missed it. What happened to Greenley? Man, I feel so lost. Now there was just a lady on with Ryan. Who is that?

GH -- I HATE the new Carly, too. I watched yesterday's this morning and I was so excited that both Sonny and Alcazar wanted nothing to do with her. I think it's only a matter of time before she's gone.

AMC question...I was away last week and missed it. What happened to Greenley? Man, I feel so lost. Now there was just a lady on with Ryan. Who is that? Greenlee had a miscarriage and the doctor informed her she can't carry any baby to term. So, Kendall has agreed to be a surrogate mother for her and Ryan's baby (the sperm bank still has some of Ryan's sperm left).

The lady with Ryan is his sister, Erin. He went to Nova Scotia to find her after he left Pine Valley.

[shushyk]

onomatopoeia yeah I love nash, I can't help but feel sorry for him. He is too cute. Coming after todd. I can't wait to see how this plays out. I am over jessica and antonio, they did way too good of a job making me love nash :)

GH ? are they trying to get rid of Carly? I mean it took them so long to make her a character that you loved, and I loved her with sonny. I was even getting used to her (while still missing the old carly) with lorenzo. but now she is in the bottom of the pit, she is lower than a fly and everyone hates her. Even bobby :eek: whats up with that? why are they making her out to be such scum? Unless they want to off her.

anyone else hate the new sam/jason story line. SO ANNOYING. they finally have a chance to be together and they pull this. and the TWIN SAM is HORRIBLE why give her an accent she can't keep up with? just make her the same or give her red hair. she doesn't do that accent very well and pulls out of character alot.

[jarm]

I totally agree about Jason/Sam. And I definitely agree about them making Carly seem like the biggest scum on earth. Crazy! I think they're trying to off her, or else they're trying to get you to like her again through compassion.

[jarm]

Okay...I'm not thrilled with the previews for GH that I just saw. What is up with that?

[jules1025]

What is the back story with Dell Henry (apparently Dixie's brother)??

Looks like the fake Dixie/Di is actually Di Henry. Is she possibly related to Dell somehow??

[Rose]

I thought Kendall (when Sarah Michelle Geller was playing her) & Dell were married and left town, but I wasn't watching when they re introduced Kendall.

[Alicia]

I found this after doing a google search earlier today:

Young would-be writer Del Henry (Winsor Harmon) came to town, and met and fell in love with Kendall. It turned out, however, that he had an ulterior motive for coming to town. He was really Dixie's half-brother, and he needed a kidney, and was looking for a blood relative to help him out. It was revealed that he was also an old love of Maria's, and his appearance in town threatened Edmund and Maria's marriage. Eventually, despite Tad's misgivings, Dixie donated Del a kidney, and he and Kendall left town.

I'm thinking Di Henry is Del's sister which would make her Dixie's half-sister.

[isign]

I love JaSam but this twin thing is nuts - they just want to put in her dancing thing, but really her wedding 'waltz' sucked. Her twin - ITA with the above. I am really interested in this issue with Jason. I saw a preview about him wanting to go straight.

Carly - If it was TB acting and not this one, I'd feel bad. TB had more vulerability in her acting that NuCarly doesn't have - she's too harsh. I think she's going twards a break down.

Reese - I love her and Ric together,but I do love him and Alexis and Sonny and Reese together. I don't like this Carly and Sonny together. I loved the cat fight in Kelly's, poor Justice. We haven't seen Justice in a while and then there he is getting knocked in the face. I just laughed.

Lucas - Do ya'll think he is the one who drugged the girls? I thought he might have been from the beginning. He liked Brooke Lynn and she went with Diego, he was there with her, both single, and she was seething with anger over Maxie. Maybe it's just too easy though.

[jarm]

I don't know about Lucas with the drugging thing. I've always thought that they were going to take the approach of him being gay. Oh well...we'll see!

From ABC Soaps In Depth Online:

Kimberly McCullough (Robin) is coming home to GENERAL HOSPITAL! After seven years away from the soap she joined as a young girl, McCullough is reprising her role, and will first air on Wednesday, October 7. "I am filled with eager anticipation to return to the role of Robin Scorpio," says the actress in a statement. "It is so flattering to know that, after all these years, GH fans are still excited about Robin coming back to Port Charles. I can’t wait to see my family again."

Ben Hogestyn — son of DAYS OF OUR LIVES star Drake Hogestyn (John) — has been cast in the role of Lucas on GENERAL HOSPITAL. Hogestyn replaces Ryan Carnes, who has decided to move on from the show. Hogestyn will first air on Thursday, September 22.

He shared the stage with Kelly Monaco (Sam) on DANCING WITH THE STARS, and now actor John O’Hurley will cross paths with Monaco on GH! On the Tuesday, September 20, episode, O’Hurley will play a Port Charles police officer who shows up on Sam’s door. (Coincidentally, that is the same day as the DANCING WITH THE STARS: DANCE-OFF!)

General Hospital News (highlight below to read):

The new Carly (Jennifer Bransford) has been let go!!! Not sure if they've found a replacement yet, but they had a casting call out for another Carly. ETA: I just read that Tamara Braun (old Carly) is on the cover of ABC Soaps In Depth. Why would she be on the cover if she's not on soaps anymore? She did just finish filming a movie. Wonder if she's coming back!

[cocoa_femme]

Whoo hoo!!!!!! JRPAGV, You totally rock!

[JRPAGV]

Thanks, cocoa_femme! :o :D I may or may not rock quite as much after you read this. I have some new General Hospital news on Carly, Reese, and Lulu. Highlight below to read...

Unfortunately, Tamara Braun will NOT be coming back to the role of Carly. GH has officially hired Laura Wright (Cassie on Guiding Light) to take over the role in October. Surely she'll do a better job than Jennifer Bransford. And, I also just learned that the character of Reese will be leaving GH this fall. The little girl who played Lulu (Luke/Laura's daughter) has been let go. They're aging the character to 15 years old.

[LeslieR]

JRPAGV, let me guess-you get your spoilers from GHH? ;)

[JRPAGV]

JRPAGV, let me guess-you get your spoilers from GHH? I get most of them there. ;) I trust them more than most other websites.

[cocoa_femme]

Dammit :mad:! Oh well, I guess it's part-good and part-bad. I guess I'll deal. :)

BTW, you still rock :D!

[Rippy1010]

Did anyone enjoy AMC today? I wish they had downplayed Erica's new show just a LITTLE bit. I kept forgetting that I was actually watching AMC. For a second I was convinced that New Beginnings really was a new show that was coming out and that was why AMC was focusing on it so much! Seriously!

Hopefully they will be back to their regular AMC show by tomorrow. I wanted to see how everyone made out inside the walls of the Chandler mansion!

[shushyk]

Did anyone enjoy AMC today? luckily I tivoed it... UGH it was terrible, I FF the entire show. I am actually gettins SICK of Erica. good grief. THey can't give her any good story lines, so this is what they come up with? I know she has a huge following, but I am so over her.

GH is getting good though. I am enjoying this crazy "perv" story line, and jason story line. Its getting good.

[jules1025]

I TIVO'd it too and FF through the "New Beginnings" sections. I thought it was really lame. Looks like they're going to be showing more of it tomorrow too. :rolleyes:

Is Zach getting on anyone else's last nerve or is it just me?? I am so sick and tired of him butting into everyone's lives. I would be really happy if they killed his character off.

Did anyone else notice they replaced the actor who played Derek Frye? I like the old guy better.

[shushyk]

Did anyone else notice they replaced the actor who played Derek Frye? I like the old guy better. YESSSSSSSSS the other actor had been there for along time. I wonder why they did that? I hope that he got another job somewhere else or something.

As for the Zach, I want him to KISS kendell and confess his love for her. I want them to have a baby together :o :p

[Rippy1010]

Yes, I hate the new Derek. I thought maybe Derek was just sick or something and this guy is the sub. But, he's been on for like a whole week or something. I don't like him at all.

As for the Zack thing ... some times he really really gets on my nerves (especially with the whole Julia thing). But, I do enjoy the whole sexual/love tension going on between Kendall and Zack. But it's starting to frustrate me. Their already married ANYWAY, so just kiss each other and say "I LOVE YOU" and get it over with. LOL. I wouldn't say that I want them to have a baby together, but I think the love-tension thing is why he is butting into the baby-thing with Kendall and Greenley.

[nekopie76]

The older Derek lives in LA and would fly in to NYC tape his scenes. But since Mimi is back Derek is going to have a bigger storyline so they replaced him. Which is too bad b/c I don't like the new Derek either.

I am loving the Zach/Kendall storyline. The sexual tension is great. But as always they are certainly dragging it out. :(

I agree with everyone about New Beginnings. Stupid! :p

[JRPAGV]

I just recently started watching All My Children. But, I've read some of the background of the characters. Is anyone else hoping that Babe and JR get back together? I like this new storyline between them. Maybe JR will lighten up some too.

[Rippy1010]

Unfortunately, No Way! JR is sooo evil. Maybe getting back together would lighten him up ... but he is just so mean. I see him being like his father ... married and divorced a zillion times and being a bitter old man. :rolleyes: Although I agree that the story line is interesting. I just think it would lead to no good.

I hope the Garrett/Mimi storyline plays out quickly.

Oh!!! By the way ... abc.com has a little place for you to vote on who you think "The Dragon" is. Any guesses on who you all think the Dragon is? I think it's definitely someone who lives in Pine Valley ... honestly, I think that the Dragon is Ethan. Anyone have any different guesses?

Does anyone other than me really like Simone? I think she is really pretty! I wish they didn't make her so ditzy in the show. She's one of my favorite characters ... I wish she had bigger parts. JMO.

[sunkiss000]

For some reason I think the Dragon is Garrett :confused: Hes just suspicious to me.. being close to Mimi- with her working on the whole Julia case- maybe he is using her to get info... I mean we have seen how wierd he is with Danny.... he doesn't seem to care about Mimi at all..

what do ya think?

~Gennie

[jules1025]

For some reason I think the Dragon is Garrett I think you're right. At the end of today's show, they showed Di/Dixie meeting with Garrett to try to get him to let Julia go. So, he's either The Dragon or one of his men.

[Rippy1010]

I didn't see yesterday's show until last night. So, now I definitely think that the Dragon is Garrett. He must be getting close to Mimi for the case. Makes sense.

But why did Ethan act so weird when he realized that Zack was looking for "The Dragon". They must have done that to throw people like me off the trail.

The guy that played "Josh" yesterday ... do you think he is the new Josh, or just a substitute?


ETA: I just checked out AMC's website. Yesterday's actor is the new Josh after all. Not a sub. What is with all of the cast changes lately?

[nekopie76]

According to The Pine Vally Bullentin (http://www.pinevalleybulletin.com/), the first actor was released due to "storyline reasons." :rolleyes:

I figured Garrett was the Dragon when the girl in SOS freaked out. She didn't freak b/c of Mimi but b/c of Garrett. He gives me the creeps!

As for Babe and JR --> NOPE! I want her back with Jamie. Get him away from that tramp.

Does anyone else love the Adam/Crystral story line? I love the chemistry between them. And now that they are married! LOL!!!

[Rippy1010]

Cool website, Kelly. I had no idea that Jamie and Babe were married in real life! Interesting and juicy little tidbits on there! I didn't read any of the spoilers ... aren't I good?!

[nekopie76]

Much better than me. :D Every Monday AM, the first thing I do it read the spoilers. It is one of my favorite websites.

Kari Wuhrer Fired From GH
Posted Friday, September 16, 2005 12:34:31 AM

In another surprise firing from the ABC soap, soapcentral.com has learned that actress Kari Wuhrer (Reese Marshall) has been let go from General Hospital.

"Kari's time with General Hospital is coming to an end shortly," read a statement on Wuhrer's official web site confirming the news.

No further details were given.

Wuhrer joined the cast of General Hospital in February 2005 as the "real" Carly Roberts. Her previous acting credits include a run on the sci-fi series "Sliders" and as co-host on the MTV game show "Remote Control."

An ABC spokesperson was unavailable for comment. A final airdate is not yet known for Wuhrer, however, it is expected in the weeks leading up to the November Sweeps period. The role of Reese will not be recast.

[nekopie76]

Well I read some sad news (to me anyway) this morning. I don't want to post "spoilers" but if you are interested, go here:

http://www.pinevalleybulletin.com/Ins_and_Outs.html

So sad!

[Rippy1010]

Kelly ~ Is it going to be on today's show, or a much later show? If it's in today's or tomorrows, I think I can wait. But, if it's going to be much later, the suspense will kill me and I'll have to go read. ;)

[lawyergirl25]

OT: Rippy, what an awesome avatar! I may steal it. ;)

[nekopie76]

Ally ~ Two of the three are going to happen this week but the first one is going to happen next month. It is about people coming and going.

[doublej]

That is sad news!

Is there anyone else who feels that AMC is really going down hill? The storylines are all so boring. (I still really miss Leo!)

[nekopie76]

That is sad news!

I agree! The whole Dragon/Di/Dixie thing is putting me to sleep. And what about the winner of "Wanna be a Soap Star?" Wasn't his contract for 6 wks? That has to be close to being over and we saw him what a handful of times? Don't get me started on Erica flipping out on Greg. What is all that about? And will Kendall and Zach ever get together?

The think the stupiest storyline is Ryan faking his death. :rolleyes: Talk about unbelievable!

[JillyBean]

I haven't really been watching AMC lately because of the storylines. I cannot believe that news, though! :( :(

ETA that I would be psyched if the Janet rumor is true. Janet From Another Planet was one of my favorite old characters.

[Rippy1010]

OT: Rippy, what an awesome avatar! I may steal it. ;)
Aww! Thanks! I made it. :D


And what about the winner of "Wanna be a Soap Star?" Wasn't his contract for 6 wks?
I think it was for 15 weeks. Not positive on that.

The whole Dragon/Di/Dixie thing is putting me to sleep.
DH and I found ourselves HOPING that Garrett would just kill them already. We are sick of both Di AND Julia. :rolleyes:

[cocoa_femme]

AMC has gone to pot. I'm so pissed that they're killing off Garrett. I too, wish Di and BooHulia would go instead. :rolleyes:

[nekopie76]

[Rippy1010]

AMC has gone to pot. I'm so pissed that they're killing off Garrett. I too, wish Di and BooHulia would go instead. :rolleyes:
I actually can't stand Garrett. He gives me the "heebie jeebies". So, I'm glad that he's dead at least. :o But, Di and Julia are both so annoying. Maybe BooHulia won't be so "boo hooey" now that Garrett's gone? Doubtful, but it's always a possibility.

[cocoa_femme]

BooHolia! LOL!!! That is the funniest thing I have heard today.
Thanks! I can't even take credit for it. DH calls her that, because everytime he happens by, she's crying, or whining about something.

I don't like the character Garrett either (gives me the heebie jeebies as well :) ). But Lamman Rucker is a friend of my cousin's and he's a really nice guy. I was kinda hoping there might be some sort of redemption for his character, so he could stay on the show (not to mention, he ain't excatly bad on the eyes ;) :D).

In THAT case ... sorry that he lost his role. :( But, I'm glad the character is gone.

[jarm]

I'm catching up on GH from this week. They have Morgan on and he looks totally different than the one they had on a couple of weeks ago. I hate when they do that!

[isign]

I really don't like the new Morgan - why age him, atleast wait till Carly comes back. He doesn't even look like Sonny.
Spoilers
Big 'event' soon - Train crash which involves carly Lucky Reese, Sonny, LO & Alexis and her baby. Does anyone know what the baby is - girl or boy?? Whatever happens to Lucky will affect him and Liz down the road, wonder what it is.

[JRPAGV]

General Hospital Comings and Goings News: (Highlight text below to read.)

Alicia Leigh Willis has confirmed on her official website that she'll be leaving the role of Courtney (ABC has confirmed it too). Her contract expires in December. The role will supposedly be recast, but I personally don't think anyone could replace her.

Not that I particularly care (since I've only been watching the show for a few years), but Rick Springfield (sang that song "Jesse's Girl") is returning to his role as Dr. Noah Drake.

[nekopie76]

Look at who is coming back!

http://soapzone.com/boards/read.php/amc/main/79485

And really soon! I am so happy. I hope her return is better than Julia's and Janet's.

I also read:

http://www.soapcentral.com/amc/news/2005/1212-devry.php

Wonder what that is about? :confused:

[Rippy1010]

Kelly .... YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY!!!

But ... I'm soooo mad that I read it!!!! I try so hard to stay away from spoilers ... I would have been nice and surprised when he/she came back. :rolleyes:

But... YAY, YAY, YAY!!! I loooooove him/her.


Note to spoiler avoiders ... I did the "he/she" and "him/her" so that you wouldn't have any clues. ;) :D

[Pink_Converse]

Ok I only watch these shows on an off but I have a question. On GH, Alexis just had a baby right? Well on the show today was her baby a KID now or does she have more than one child? If it's supposed to be that baby she just had that makes me so mad. It's like a 4 year old or something now. Why do they do that??

[LeslieR]

She has a little girl with Sonny. Her name is Kristina, named after her late sister. And now she has her baby, Molly, who is Ric's daughter.

[Pink_Converse]

Whew! But two kids with two different brothers, ewww. So they are like cousins/half sisters??? Gotta love soaps! Are either of Sonny's boys Jason's or somebody else's kid? I'm wondering where the red hair comes in, and then the one kid's name is Morgan and that's Jason's last name, right? I missed a few years.

[jeanine]

Sonny's oldest son Michael is really the biological son of AJ Quartermaine and Carly. There was a whole story way back when of Jason pretending to be Michael's father so AJ wouldn't know. Of course at first Tony Jones thought Michael was his, but I digress. Eventually Robin told AJ that Michael was his biological son, which kind of started the whole AJ, Carly, Sonny story. Not quite sure where the red hair ever came from since one AJ had blonde hair, and then the last AJ had dark brown hair. I remember the baby that played Michael had reddish hair, so maybe that's why they kept the red hair thing going.

Yes, Morgan is Jason's last name (although technically his last name is Quartermaine). He choose the name Morgan post-amnesia (I think Morgan was Lila's (his g-mom) maiden name, but i'm not sure).


I've been watching this show for way too long.

[Pink_Converse]

Ok, I kind of remember the AJ storyline now. I think I saw dark haired AJ on some other show or soap recently.

Aren't some of the hook-ups so random on soaps sometimes?

I knew about the Quartermaine name.

I always like when Robin comes back for some reason. I'm glad she's on there now, even tho she kind of annoys me in a way. I think it's just because I've watched her on there for so long. I remember catching parts of it w/ my Mom as a kid and she was a little girl on it.

I need to start taping it on DVR. I never want to stop and watch it during the day when I feel like I should be cleaning or something :rolleyes: .

[cocoa_femme]

Bobbie (Carly's mom) has red hair.

[Islandbride1025]

Yes, Morgan is Jason's last name (although technically his last name is Quartermaine). He choose the name Morgan post-amnesia (I think Morgan was Lila's (his g-mom) maiden name, but i'm not sure).


Morgan was the last name of Jason's biological mother (Susan Morgan), she had an affair with Alan Quartermaine and when she died, Alan and Monica raised Jason as their own.

or something like that, a little sketchy on the details, it's been so long ago.

[Pink_Converse]

Bobbie as in THE Bobbie? Luke's sis? I vaguely remember that. Didn't Carly get a job at the hospital to get close to her before it was revealed to her it was her child?

Bobbie (Carly's mom) has red hair.

[cocoa_femme]

Yep, you got it right!

[isign]

Robin anoys me. I don't really like the actress, she really comes across as playing the role, not being the role. I'm still not really into Carly at all, I guess b/c they've switched her around so much. JB was really icky as Carly, but I'm not feeling this one so much either. I'm kind of over Carly anyways.
I heard not only was Courtney's actress leaving but so in another - hightlight to read.
The actress that plays Brooke is also leaving

[Rippy1010]

Kelly/nekopie ... TODAY'S THE DAY, TODAY'S THE DAY!!! I can't wait to go home and watch AMC on the DVR!!!!

[nekopie76]

Kelly/nekopie ... TODAY'S THE DAY, TODAY'S THE DAY!!! I can't wait to go home and watch AMC on the DVR!!!!I am so excited!! I am hoping that the boss let's us go home soon so I can watch it while it is on.

[Rippy1010]

I know that we will get out a little early, but Jeff would be so mad if I watched it without him. So, I will have to wait for him to get home from work. It will KIIIIIILLLL me!!!! :D

[firebird]

Actually Jason's biological mother was Susan Moore. I believe that Morgan came from Lila's side of the family.

Suit Claims Actress Fired Over Pregnancy
By Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - Former "General Hospital" actress Kari Wuhrer sued ABC-TV on Thursday, contending her character was written out of the soap opera and she was fired for becoming pregnant.

Wuhrer, 38, filed the discrimination and wrongful termination suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court. She is alleging she suffered at least $3 million in damages to her earnings, career and through the cost of emotional distress.

Details of the suit were first reported by TMZ.com.

"We have not been served and we do not comment on pending litigation," ABC said in a statement.

Wuhrer played Reese Marshall on the show. According to her suit, she notified the writers and producers that she was pregnant in August so they would have time to write her condition into the script.

Instead, Wuhrer said she was fired two weeks later.

"The vile underbelly of the Hollywood Machine encourages female actors to be as beautiful and slim as possible," the suit said.

It added that an actress who "dares" to become pregnant has one choice: "Terminate her pregnancy or be terminated."

The suit accuses the defendants of sex discrimination, pregnancy-based discrimination, wrongful termination, failure to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnancy and other allegations.

Give me a break. Reese's character was horrible, and they were making plenty of cast changes during the time she was let go. Soaps kill people off all the time and take stories in different directions.

[ignutzz]

Um, the woman who plays Skye on GH just came back from having a baby and I believe she was taping through a good part of the pregnancy. How many other women have been pregnant and they worked around it on these shows???! Not to mention, 99% of the audience is women and deliberately discriminating against one of your actresses for being pregnant is NOT going to sit well with them.

[cocoa_femme]

Ugh! Could Jason be anymore of a hypocrite? He did, afterall, have an affair, marry and impregnate Sonny's little sis :rolleyes:. Why has no one (on GH) brought this up?

[firebird]

Not a frequent poster here-but just had to say that I was so excited to see Robert back on GH. I loved him back in the day. I would love for him to stick around.

[kate's mom]

Firebird- I totally agree with you. I loved Robert Scorpio back in the day and
am now glued to General. I really think this is going to be a great storyline.
I've also heard that Holly is coming back!

[LeslieR]

Me, too! Me, too! I haven't been this excited about GH since the 90's!

[lorialys]

Joining the GH chit-chat!

I've been watching the soap since I was 10 years old. My sister and I got into it one summer while we were home alone, and I've been watching off and on ever since! I love how you can miss a few years and get caught right back up within a few episodes! :D Gotta love soaps.

Now that I'm a SAHM, I get to watch all the time! I actually watch twice a day. :p Yesterday's episode in the morning on SoapNet, and today's episode in the afternoon on ABC! That way if I miss something in the afternoon while I'm taking care of my son, I can watch it the next morning.

I'm totally loving the "quarantine" theme from this week. So much drama! :D

[jrsygirl]

OK- I just watche GH for the first time today in a few weks..when did Robert come back??I am so lost! Can someone recap for me what is going on?

[lorialys]

Robert came back about a week ago. He's associated with all this "quarantine" mess that's going on. Basically, Luke Spencer was hiding out on some island and came in contact with these natives that had a sick boy. He was pretending to be a doctor at the time, so the natives asked him to help the boy. He gave him a tic-tac and the boy started to get better. Then Luke was drugged or something, and when he woke up he was all alone on the island with this chimp, and the village was on fire. He left the island with the chimp and returned to Port Charles.

After he got back, he was the first one to get sick. It's some kind of influenza virus, and Luke got over it fairly quickly because he has antibodies that protected him. But everyone else started getting really sick!

Apparently Robert works for an organization that is working to contain the virus, and he's been tracking it all over the world. He showed up in the island and figured out that Luke was there, then followed him back to Port Charles.

It's so funny that they're bringing back all these older characters. First Dr. Drake, and now Robert Scorpio!

[Islandbride1025]

Can someone tell me how Josh is Erica's son? I thought she only had 2 daughters......

[sea74]

Apparently, when she went to have an abortion all those years ago, the doctor (can't think of his name, the one who just helped Kendal get pg w/Ryan's baby) took the embryo out of her and implanted it into his wife who was infertile. :rolleyes:

[jarm]

Ahhhh...only in a soap opera!

[Rippy1010]

can't think of his name, the one who just helped Kendal get pg w/Ryan's baby
Dr. Greg Madden. Yup ... that's what they're saying. Which, sad to say, I totally called it about 2 months ago! I can't believe how long it took them to reveal it!

Plus, can you believe that the gala went on for 5 episodes? I wonder how many episdoes the recovery mission will take. :)

[Islandbride1025]

Ahhhh...only in a soap opera!

I couldn't agree more.

Thanks for the explanation sea74

[sea74]

Anyone see GH yesterday? It was so sad seeing everyone cry for Courtney. Very, very sad :(

[lorialys]

I did! SO sad! I wonder when/if Jax is going to tell Nicholas about the baby being his.

[sea74]

If he does tell, I bet it won't be for many, many months.

[lorialys]

Either that, or someone else will find out and let the secret out in a big, public fashion. :p

[sea74]

Yeah, probably when they go to christen the baby. :rolleyes:

[jarm]

Wait...what's this about the baby being Nicholas's? I missed that! I really need to pay more attention instead of multitasking while it's on.

[LeslieR]

Eh, I'm glad she's dead. I couldn't stand her cheating butt. I used to like her when she first came on the show and was with AJ, but it all went down hill from there once she started seeing Jason. yuck, yuck, yuck. I'm not a big fan of TC's Nikolas or Jax, so I couldn't care less who the father is. I'm sure it will be a long time before Nikolas will find out he's the father.:rolleyes:

[sea74]

Okay, this whole story they're setting up with Alexis being Sam's 'birthmom' is lame! Grrr!!!!

jarm Jax, realizing that Courtney is dying, confesses that he rigged BOTH DNA tests and that Nik is really the baby's daddy. He said he did it to protect the baby from Helena. Courtney died before she could tell Nik the truth.

[jarm]

Wait...now I'm missing this setup with Alexis being Sam's birthmom...that's just crazy!

Thank you sea74. I missed Monday's and the VCR didn't record so I didn't see that part.

[lorialys]

Yeah, I agree that it's really lame

[sea74]

I have a TV in my office at work :o so it's a little easier for me to keep up w/what's going on.

[lorialys]

sea LOL, that's a sweet setup. :p

Okay, is it just me, or did today's GH make everyone else cry like 30 different times?

They seriously need to find the antidote so that this whole virus thing is over, because it is starting to get depressing!!

However, it is a fabulous way to kill off a bunch of cast members. ;) Unfortunately though, I don't see a way for them to come back someday in classic soap fashion. :(

[MaineBelle]

An interesting story on NPR (of all places) about Rick Springfield and General Hospital. You need real player to listen to the story. Some pics in the link also...

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5240264

[isign]

What is with all the pregnancys on GH? Courtney couldn't get pg, then she did, and now skye - sheesh!
I am really sick of Manny - why couldn't he die in the epidemic? And where has Durant been? Funny, it's a huge epidemic and he disappears. I'm really not liking much that's going on right now - enough Sonny & Em too, I think they should show more of anyone else except for anything that revolves around them, it's gotten old. I was also really disappointed at TPTB showing more of C's memorial service than Tony's. They didn't even bring anyone back for his like they did for Michaels.

[sea74]

Okay, I'm watching AMC and it seems like they are trying to change JR back into a nice guy. If he's really trying to change, do you want to see him and Babe back together again, for real ... not her trying to scam him? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wouldn't mind seeing them together for real this time.

[nekopie76]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wouldn't mind seeing them together for real this time.

I have been loving Babe and JR together. They have chemistry. But I am thinking that since JR didn't believe that Janet really did kidnap her and Little A, she is going to be pissed at him and go back to her plan. Let's hope that JR learns about Dixie and Babe needs to support them and they fall in love for real. I can hope, can't I? :p

[Rippy1010]

I really like Babe and JR together lately, too. I like how they are softening JR. But, I thought that they were playing out the storyline where Babe started to fall for JR for real anyway. And, honestly, I have to say that I love the Crystal/Adam storyline, too. I love that Adam fell for her, and I think that Crystal has fallen for him, too, honestly.

I see things backfiring when Dixie returns. I think JR could go back to his hateful self because he will be really angry. I hope I'm wrong, though.

isign If you look, the actress who plays skye is pregnant again, so I think they're trying to write it in rather than out like they did last time. I agree that I'm also sick of Sonny/Em but it's interesting to see them using that relationship to work in Sonny's/Maurice's issues with Bi-polar disorder.

[lorialys]

Wait, I must have missed this? So they're saying that Sonny's dad was bi-polar, hinting that Sonny might be too? That would certainly explain some of his rage and behavior.

[sea74]

The actor who plays Sonny is bi-polar in real life, right?

I like Sky and Lorenso (sp?) together. I don't care much for Luke.

[ignutzz]

lorialys No, not Sonny's dad, Sonny himself is bi-polar. (and yes, Sea74 Maurice Bernard has BP in real life) It seems to me that now that he's with someone who would push him to get medical treatment, and considering the symptom discussion S & E were having yesterday, that TPTB are going to pick up a mental health story line for him.

I like S & L together too. I fast forward through everythign with Luke and the kids and just about everyone besides jason and sam (and even those two I'm getting sick of). :)

[lorialys]

Ahh, that makes more sense! I totally missed that whole sequence yesterday, must have been doing something with DS. Thanks!

Saw that one yesterday

I fast forward through all the sonny/em stuff - what was he saying about bi-polar issues? I like luke & Tracy & skye & Lo & the teens together. It's nice not to have to see Sam's boobs, or Emily get all passionate and fired up about something only to stall out in the middle of her speech. I do like the carly/jax thing - it's just something different. I'm not sure if I'm liking where the Diego/Georgie thing is headed. I would like to either see them give more to Jesse or put Maxie with Nicholas. I'm just tired of the same old stuff.

[ignutzz]

isign I only caught part of it, but basically he was, after her yelling at him for not letting her into his life enough, telling her about the emotional cycles he's goes through sometimes. The big highs, some lows then he bottoms out completely. That's what makes me think they're finally going to moves this towards a clinical diagnosis for Sonny (which I'm sure Maurice has pushed for or is at least happy to see being done as this is his big public issue).

Yeah, Sam's boobs can be a bit much, although I find it hysterical watching Jason try to avoid them when they have their little squabbles.

Don't like emily, have never like Jax or Carly. I'm happy they're not replacing Courtney as I couldn't stand what sucker she was. I don't watch any of the kids stuff, I just find them all annoying. :) One begins to wonder why I even watch this show, but I just can't get enough Steve Burton. :o

[Lisa]

Jesse is leaving. They said (I guess) it will be really hard on maxie. I like those two together. I think Nicholas and Maxie would be cute. I can;t stand Nicholas and Em together, she so annoys me!

[isign]

just curious - where do you get your spoilers from? I like GHH, but nothing has been updated in a while. What happened yesterday? I missed it.
I don't like the whole Georgie/Diego thing - what he did was sick, no matter why he did it, and her falling for the guy who stalked her and druged her family/friends is a bit much.

[jarm]

I only watch AMC when I'm not working (which happens to be now). I missed a whole bunch. What happened to Greenlee? I'm so confused on the Kendall/baby storyline.

[nekopie76]

I watch AMC every day. Let me try to fill you in.

Greenlee ... Kendall got pg with what everyone thought was Greenlee and Ryan's baby (so Greenlee couldn't carry to term). Right before Thanksgiving it came out that it wasn't Greenlee's baby but Kendall's. Zach caused a black out hoping that would ruin Greenlee's eggs and Ryan's sperm and Kendall couldn't get pg. But Kendall being Kendall decided to use her eggs and pass the baby as Greenlee. With the help of Josh (FYI - who I HATE!), Greenlee found out the truth and decided to leave Pine Valley.

So that leaves Kendall pg with Ryan's baby, in love with Zach. Once Kendall found out that Zach caused the blackout, Kendall dumped him. Her and Ryan have been going around and around about what is best for the baby. Ryan wants to raise the baby and Kendall wanted to give it up for adoption. Add Greg Madden and Erica to the mix and it was getting out of control.

Fast forward to this week ... Zach resues Kendall from the Baby Island and she realizes that she loves Zach and wants to keep her baby. All is good. For a couple of days anyway.

Did that catch you up?

[jarm]

That catches me up! I just didn't know what happened to Greenlee. I really liked her. Thanks!

[cocoa_femme]

Don't think this is a spoiler, since I got it off of Yahoo! News.

Genie Francis back to 'General Hospital' (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060628/ap_en_tv/tv_general_hospital_3)

NEW YORK - "General Hospital" is giving fans much to talk about: the reunion of Luke and Laura Spencer, the ABC soap opera's most popular couple.

Genie Francis, who originated the role of Laura nearly 30 years ago, will return to the show — and to the fictional town of Port Charles — to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Luke and Laura's wedding, which was seen by 30 million viewers on Nov. 16, 1981, ABC announced Tuesday.

Francis, 44, will appear in a series of episodes beginning in the middle of October, the network said. "I'm very happy to be returning to my `General Hospital' family and look forward to portraying a role that means a lot to me as well as the fans who have supported the character throughout the years," Francis said in a statement.

Francis has left the show several times; her most recent departure was in 2002.

<SNIP>

No details were provided about Laura's story line and the upcoming anniversary. Four years ago, the character suffered a mental breakdown after she killed her father, and has been living at a psychiatric hospital in a catatonic state.

Genie Francis back to 'General Hospital' [/URL]

I saw this too and was excited... I wonder how they plan to bring her out of her catatonic state. And the fact that Luke is married to Tracey -- does that make the wedding null and void?

[maxandmolly]

I saw this too and was excited... I wonder how they plan to bring her out of her catatonic state. And the fact that Luke is married to Tracey -- does that make the wedding null and void?
No, because Luke and Laura were never re-married. She went catatonic before the ceremony could occur.
I am so freakin' excited that she is coming back! Oh, I hope they don't f*** it up! And with Robert around, and maybe they could bring Anna and Holly back again for a bit too.......

[skraus75]

Thanks... I couldn't remember if they got remarried. ;) I hope it's a good story line.... IMO, GH hasn't been as on top of their game lately.

[isign]

Whoo Hoo! Finally something to take away from Sonny/Emily/Ric Yippee!! I love the non mob involved side of GH :)

[sea74]

Is anyone still watching GH? I'm getting real tired of the Sonny stuff. Just leave the mod already!

Also, is it just me or does it seem like they're trying to be all "Gray's Antimony" with all the new scenes of them going to the bar to do shots and get drunk?

[ignutzz]

I'm still watching, although I FF through 99% of it, so I'm not quite sure why. :) I knew they were going to do the bi-polar thing with Sonny, but IMO, they've taken it way to far. I know, I know it's a soap opera, I just think you can do that storyline (and it's an important issue) without resorting to campy theatrics. Eh, oh well.


The guy/girl group bar scenes are very Grey's Anatomy, but they're actually some of my favorite parts of the show. I like it when they just let the characters be "normal".

Also, you do see where they're going with the Ric/Alexis/Sam thing, right? ;)

[doublej]

Anyone watching AMC? I can't stand the name Spike. I am so sick of hearing about Spike!!

[maxandmolly]

Anyone watching AMC? I can't stand the name Spike. I am so sick of hearing about Spike!!
Is that the poor kid's real name? I hadn't watched in a long time, then Kendall's cooing all over "Spike"-I keep hoping it's just a nickname.


Oh, and so could OLTL make it any more obvious that the baby Marcie & Al/Michael are fostering-the only baby who has popped up in AGES-is Todd's missing son with Margaret?

[sea74]

Also, you do see where they're going with the Ric/Alexis/Sam thing, right?

Yep, and it smacks of the story line Carlee/Bobby/Tony. But the other day when Sam walked out in that white nightgown to where Ric was standing on the porch, it was pretty obvious!

Oh, and so could OLTL make it any more obvious that the baby Marcie & Al/Michael are fostering-the only baby who has popped up in AGES-is Todd's missing son with Margaret? Yep, wonder how long it's going to be before everyone finds out.
I saw the cover or a soap mag at the checkout line and it had a teaser about a main OLTL character leaving and I was bummed out about it!

Anyone watching AMC? I can't stand the name Spike. I am so sick of hearing about Spike!!
I could hardly stand it when I thought that Spike was just a nickname. I can’t believe they went with it! UGH! I read a spoiler about who Spike’s daddy is :)

[ignutzz]

Yep, and it smacks of the story line Carlee/Bobby/Tony. But the other day when Sam walked out in that white nightgown to where Ric was standing on the porch, it was pretty obvious!

Hopefully they're throw another twist to it so they're not just repeating a storyline. I think it was obvious even prior to the scene you mentioned. Remember when Sam first moved in and they did the shot of her on the deck (or whatever) in the "moonlight" with the white dress? Foreshadowing like mad they were. :D

[sea74]

yeah, I remember that one, too. I just sat there rolling my eyes. I don't like storylines like that!

[ignutzz]

I don't either. I really don't understand why they pulled sam and Jason apart. I really don't think it adds any more or better drama to the episodes. They were much better as a team than they are separately.

[isign]

I'm kind of over Sam/Jason. I love Jason, but I don't think Sam does it for me. I like him & Liz better. I like the new Carly who's trying so hard to be good. I can't wait to see more of the bar scene today. Rick=ick. Really, he's creepy. I liked him till he started turning evil, well turning back to evil.

[Rippy1010]

Anyone watching AMC? I can't stand the name Spike. I am so sick of hearing about Spike!!
OMG!!! I am soooo sick of hearing "spike, spike, spike"!!! I was soooo hoping it was just a nickname, and that they would finally give him a name. It irritates the life out of me! :mad:

[ignutzz]

isign I just really liked that Jason was finally with someone who wasn't trying to turn him in to someone he wasn't. She was actually his partner rather than trying to be his mother-figure. I can't stand Liz :) she's such an insipid little twit, Robin isn't much better but at least she has something resembling a spine. :P

Although I hate the character of Carly, I'm really really enjoying the actress who's currently playing her, maybe even better than Tamara portrayal.

Yeah, Ric is AWFUL. Completely skeevy. Although, I remember him when he was on the other soap (can't remember which one) and he was playing Anna Kanikaredes (sp????) hubby. Yum!

[sea74]

I don't know if it's the soap you're talking aobut, but I remember wayyyy back when that Rick was on Guiding light ... what was his character ...ALAN MICHAEL ... that was it!

[ignutzz]

YES, that was it! :D I've been watching these thing WAAAY too long. DH always rolls his eyes at me because I'm constantly pointing out the actors when they show up in other shows.

Also, a collegue of mine takes a pole dancing class with the actress who plays Simone on AMC. Small world. :)

[isign]

I wasn't watching alot when Liz was with Jason, but I just don't like Sam and her pathetic, oh I'll depend on Jason for my self worth. Get a grip, finally take the GED and quit talking about it. What does she do during the day when they are together? I think she's boring.

I am over the Lucky/Maxi thing - really that's just kind of sick. They were raised almost like family. I guess they are trying to have the younger kids grow up, so thats why they are doing that. Like when they put Liz with Rick - I think they were just trying to make her grow up.

[karen]

Can anyone tell me what happened to Jonathan on AMC? When/How did he became normal again? Did it happen before or after he married Lily? TIA!

[LoveandLaw]

Can anyone tell me what happened to Jonathan on AMC? When/How did he became normal again? Did it happen before or after he married Lily? TIA!

In a nutshell: Lily ran away to NY and Jonathan went to find her. Some creepy guy found her and convinced her he was trying to help her. The guy got Lily a hotel room, drugged her, and tried to get her to take her clothes off. Jonathan busted in and saved her. He got in a scuffle with the guy, fell and hit his head. The guy took off. Lily and Jonathan got married.

Jonathan started having headaches after he hit his head. They continued when he returned to PV. He eventually collapsed in the park and they took him to the hospital. When he came to he was back to normal. He doesn't want to tell Lily because he loves her and she is comforted by the fact that they are so alike. Erin knows and Jonathan swore her to secrecy. Amanda found out too but he convinced her not to tell either.

[sea74]

Is the actor who plays Sonny leaving GH?

[JRPAGV]

Is the actor who plays Sonny leaving GH? No, I haven't seen/read anywhere that he's leaving anytime soon. Why do you ask? :)

[sea74]

I thought I saw that on the cover of a soap mag today when I was in the check out line. Wish I would have looked closer.

[PookiePrincess]

I googled to see if anything came up and got nothing recent about Maurice Bernard leaving GH.

[sea74]

Good! I can't see anyone else playing him. It must have been the 96 degree heat playing tricks on my eyes :)

[JRPAGV]

I thought I saw that on the cover of a soap mag today when I was in the check out line. Wish I would have looked closer. You might have seen the issue that has Sonny on the front and says something like "Sonny Checks Out". I'm thinking it might have been Soap Opera Digest... not sure. Anyway, I think they were referring to him "checking out" mentally.

[karen]

Thanks LoveandLaw for the recap! I usually try to watch soaps once/twice a week but I think I missed a couple of weeks.

[Sal03]

Is the actor who plays Sonny leaving GH?

I have heard this on a commerdcial for soaps in depth or one of those magazines. it clearly says GH getting a new Sonny. to me that is insane!

side question about GH...what is rick's motivation for driving sonny to another breakdown?

[ignutzz]

I have heard this on a commerdcial for soaps in depth or one of those magazines. it clearly says GH getting a new Sonny. to me that is insane!

I really think this is just referring to the fact that the character is undergoing a transformation now that he is seeing a therapist and acknowledging his bi-polar disorder. I would find it VERY strange that they would replace MB in the midst of an incredibly personal story line.

side question about GH...what is rick's motivation for driving sonny to another breakdown?

I think he wanted to find out about his mother and I think he wants to make Sonny dependant on him. If he drives him to a breakdown and then saves him, Rick thinks he'll have gained his gratitude/trust/favoritism over Jason. Since it backfired, now he's looking for a way to scew over Jason.

I saw the cover of the magazine again, and although I didn't read it, I think you're right, it's a *new* transformed Sonny.

[isign]

I just saw the commercial - I think they they are getting at him being changed and a new person. I wish they'd quit talking about TB coming back, it's getting old. If she is, she is, if not, drop it. They are always saying something like ther.

[Sal03]

Thanks for clearing that up about rick/sonny. I missed a few weeks when DD was born and basically everything else was easy to catch right up on but that was confusing me.

I wish they'd quit talking about TB coming back, it's getting old. If she is, she is, if not, drop it. They are always saying something like ther.


ITA. and I actually really like Laura Wright. I used to watch Guiding Light and always liked her there too.

[isign]

I think she's really make Carly a very strong person. JB (before LW) was perfect for nutty, breaking down Carly. It was hard getting used to LW, because we all loved TB, but she fits. The first Carly fit the trashy, vindictive Carly, TB was perfect for her becoming more of a lady, classier. I don't know if TB could have pulled it off with Jax. I think LW is too strong for Lorenzo, and wouldn't have worked. Now I wish they'd work on Emily's character.

[sea74]

WHAT HAPPENED when Dillon found out that LuLu made up the whole Georgie sleeping with Diego? I missed and want to know if he freaked out on her? Did he try to win G back?

Anyone?

[Rippy1010]

Re: AMC ...

Has anyone else noticed some REALLY BAD camera work for the past two episodes? It was making my DH and I kind of dizzy ... like we were watching Blair Witch or something.

Re: AMC ...

OMG, yes! Maybe it was shot differently (i.e., live) because of the whole Rhianna/Confusion opening?

[isign]

WHAT HAPPENED when Dillon found out that LuLu made up the whole Georgie sleeping with Diego? I missed and want to know if he freaked out on her? Did he try to win G back?

Yeah he flipped out on her. He went back to Georgie and she wouldn't take him back. She said that she gave him cause but was upset that he'd belive LuLu over her. IMO he should stay with LuLu. Yeah she lied, but she tried to tell him. Georgie has lied over and over and over about Diego - and don't even get me started on that. He's a freakin' sex offender that stalked her, her sister and their best bud and she's wanting to sleep with him? Give me a break

Did I miss it - how did Jason's file get to Liz?

[ignutzz]

WHAT HAPPENED when Dillon found out that LuLu made up the whole Georgie sleeping with Diego? I missed and want to know if he freaked out on her? Did he try to win G back?

Anyone?


First, he went to find G, and told her how sorry he was for not believing her. He had been so angry about her dealings with Diego in the past that he was ready to believe the worst of her at that point even if he knew better. G basically told him that she accepted his apologie, and still loved him, but that he had ruined her faith and trust in him and they couldn't be together again. I think she also mentioned how disappointed she was that his first reaction was to sleep with LL.

D then went to confront LL about what happened. He gave her an opportunity to tell him the truth with out prompting and she blew it. She went on and on about how she knew she did the wrong thing, but he was her best friend and she'd never had someone she could talk to and depend on before. He agreed that they had been everything to each other, but now they were nothing. And then he walked away.

Hee hee, I didn't fast forward through their scenes that day. :)

[ignutzz]

isign So weird, your post wasn't there before during or after I was writing mine up. :p

Liz got Jason's file while she was down at the precinct looking for her moron of a husband.

[Rose]

Re: AMC ...

Yes! I never watch and I saw yesterday and didn't know what was going on. I I didn't like it.

[Linz]

There's not much talk about One Life To Live in here but I just wanted to say that my brother is going to be on it tomorrow. He has been an extra in the background all week but tomorrow he has a speaking role! yay! I guess he is playing a balatics expert named Foster for anyone watching :D :D :D

[Rippy1010]

OMG, yes! Maybe it was shot differently (i.e., live) because of the whole Rhianna/Confusion opening?
We thought maybe they just had a new cameraman on the crew, because it wasn't all the time. It was very obvious when they switched to a new camera and it was all shaky. It's been three days in a row now. Ugh!! We can't stand it!!

[sea74]

Thanks for the update isign and Ignutzz!

[sea74]

I haven't been watching AMC very much but am watching it today.

Do we know yet who really killed the doctor yet or not?

THANKS!

Oh, also, Colby is such a witch! I hope she gets taken down a few (hundred) pegs!

[nekopie76]

Nope ... not yet. I am been reading spoilers and all they mention is that the real killer will be revealed. I am betting on Janet. :rolleyes:

Colby is A.W.F.U.L. I hate her. I wish she would go back on the run with Liza. Sydney is just as bad. I fast forward though them all the time.

What does everyone think of Jack? He is being such as ass. I can't stand the way he is "protecting" Lily. If my father ever treated me like that ...

[sea74]

Yeah, Jack is a jerk! And I guess that Sydney is *almost* as snotty as Colby.

I never thought of Janet, but I could see that. She could have been all angry at Madden for trying to get her daughter to have a baby and then give it up for adoption.

[Rippy1010]

I used to love Jack so so so much when I watched AMC when I was younger. Now, I just hate him!! He's such a jerk these days!

But, how would Janet know about the Madden/Amanda connection if she's been locked away in the looney bin? I could see them making it out to be Janet in the long run, but I don't see how it could work. Don't you think we'd have heard by now if she had escaped? I don't know ...

I just want to know who it is already, and get that storyline over with. It's growing old on me.

I don't like either Colby OR Sydney, either. For being new, Sydney seems really full of herself. And Colby just needs military school. :D

[sea74]

But, how would Janet know about the Madden/Amanda connection if she's been locked away in the looney bin? I could see them making it out to be Janet in the long run, but I don't see how it could work. Don't you think we'd have heard by now if she had escaped? I don't know ...

That was my first thought, but hey, it's a Soap! Dead people are never dead, so I'm sure the locked up can get out w/o much notice :)

[ignutzz]

For any of you GH fans (and probably a lot of other soaps too) there are some really great OLD clips up on YouTube from various users. There's a big concentration of Sonny/Brenda, Robin/Stone and Robin/Jason. Since DH was watching football and the baseball playoffs this weekend, I passed the time rewatching the HIV+/AIDS storyline and R/J's subsequent superromance. Ahhh, the good old days. :D GH really did (still does) a great job putting a real face on HIV.

[sea74]

I'll have to check some of those old clips out.


I have only been watching on and off lately because I'm over some of the stories.

Does anyone think the Liz is PG w/Jason's baby? Maybe they have already confirmed this, but like I said I'm only 1/2 watching the show.

[isign]

check out Generalhospitalhappenings.com for great spoilers. I do agree with you, it'd be too good of a story line for it not to happen.

[sea74]

Cool! Thanks for the link.

[HeatherFL]

The baby is supposedley Lucky's. But since she set the DNA results on fire I guess it raised some question as to why she did it. I do not want Elizabeth and Jason together. They just don't fit to me.

I am glad they brought Laura back and hope they do some good things with that storyline!

I wish that they'd get this whole Ric/Sam/Alexis thing over with. It's getting really old to me. And if Sam and Jason are going to get back together "for real" just get on with it.

I'm not sure how I feel about Emily and Nikolas at this point. But I certainly would rather see them together than Emily with Sonny. What were they thinking?

And let's get the whole Luke and Tracy thing over with!

I'm ready to see Robin and Patrick get more serious too. I've never been a huge fan of hers, but I like the two of them together.

~H.

[sea74]

I don't mind seeing Liz and Jason together. I used to REALLY want Sam and Jason together, but now Sam just annoys the heck out of me!

I'm enjoying having Laura back but I don't think she's scheduled to be on the show for the long hull.

I'm SO over Ric/Sam/Alexis. Go away. Thank you.

And I like seeing Emily and Nikolas together. I thought the love scenes with Emily and Sonny were gross. Although I find Sonny to be kind of hot.

[isign]

I like em & nick. I also like the new guy Sonny has become, so caring about Alexis. I like the twinkle in his eye when he and Max (who I love) plot against Carly & Jax.

I like LuLu & Dillion, Georgie annoys me, but not as much as Maxie does. I'd like to see Dillion and LuLu become the next L&L.

[HeatherFL]

UGH Maxie annoys the heck out of me too!

I also think Sonny is hot. ;) And I love Max too! I'm glad they're bringing him into the Soap more.

I agree, I used to be for Sam and Jason and now she is annoying. But I hate that they're dragging this storyline out. UGH.

~H.

[alibaba]

To the GH fans out there...can you do a quick recap on the whole Tracey/Luke marriage? I used to watch GH religiously years ago but have only been watching it off and on the past year or so, so I have no idea why they got married. I am finding myself glued again now that Laura is back but I stumped as to why Tracey is so adamant about their marriage. :confused:

[HeatherFL]

I don't remember the exact story but Tracy came upon some money-not sure how and Luke felt he was entitled to it. I believe the amount they always throw around is $50 million. So he married her to get the money in the divorce settlement, but something happened where she has leverage and told him if they ever divorce she keeps the money. So he's hung in there to try to find a way to get that money back from her. They've had some tender moments along the way, like with Lulu's abortion and other things like when Dillon almost died...A lot of people say that he'll realize he's fallen in love with Tracy and not marry Laura. I hope that's not true. I just want to see Luke and Laura together.

~H.
