I have no way of knowing if that's still true, or if the new writers changed it.  Or if he returns to the town of Port Charles soon, but we learn later on that he was buried in Greece.

He's referring just to his cave-in exit, I think.

1 hour ago, Liberty City said:

This was in connection to how he was written out. But he did say, at the time of his announced return, he did not have a return-to-set date. So, it makes me wonder if he was due back in January, but because of the regime-swap, it was pushed back? Again, purely speculation based on factual timelines we're aware of.

Thanks @Vee and @Liberty City
To be honest, I didn't know how Jason had been written out when Burton exited GH the last time.
Okay so his statement "that's all I know" probably meant that he knew only what his final exit scene had been.   He said that on Jan. 10, and maybe he hadn't seen the new scripts yet and really didn't know yet how his return was being written.

Tues. Feb. 13, Wed. Feb. 14, Tues. Feb. 20, and Wed. Feb. 21:
Soccer will override Y&R and B&B in some western USA timezones.

OR you might need to watch online.

*important to note that this doesn't affect eastern USA, so they will not consider any of these dates to be a preemption.  They will consider it to be an aired episode.    If you miss it, watch online.

March 2024 info in next post.

A few days of soccer on CBS broadcast TV during soap slots in USA western timeslots.
 
This happened in 2022 and 2023 on some (but not all) Tuesdays and Wednesdays of Feb/March/April/May.
the "UEFA Champions League" (European soccer tournament)
will air on CBS broadcast television on some of these dates.
The tournament is broadcast live from  Europe in the evening, which happens to be daytime in USA.

Just like in 2022 and 2023, 
CBS Sports is covering two simultaneous matches per day.

• One match carried
  on *both* CBS broadcast TV *and* on ParamountPlus.
   
• The other match is carried  *only* on ParamountPlus.

Tues. Feb. 13, Wed. Feb. 14 – airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus.
Tues. Feb. 20, Wed. Feb. 21 – airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus.
These February dates are all "Round of 16, First Leg" of the tournament.

Tues. March 5, Wed. March 6– airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus.
[Tues. March 12 and Wed. March 13 are currently listed as *only* Paramount Plus.]
The March dates are  all "Round of 16, Second Leg" of the tournament.

There may be other dates in April and May, to be announced.

This impacts CBS soaps (but not in all timezones) and only in the USA.
In some markets Y&R will be affected, in some B&B, in some both soaps.
This affects the Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, and Hawaii timezones.

Canada is unaffected. Y&R and B&B will air on Global and CTV at normal times in all Canada timezones.

For the dates in February and also March 5&6:
CBS live soccer coverage
Pre-game show 2:00-3:00 PM EST
Soccer match 3:00-5:00 PM EST
Total of three hours of live programming.

(2pm-5pm EST)
(1pm-4pm CST)
(Noon-3pm MST)
(11am-2pm PST)
(10am-1pm AKST Alaska)
(9am-noon HST Hawaii)

What this means:  One or both soaps might not air in western timezones,
but the soap(s) will still air on CBS stations on the east coast.  
In some cities, one or both soaps will air on broadcast TV
at a special time, earlier or later in the day, or overnight.
You might find your soap on a sister channel at a different time.

So it won't be counted as a "full preemption" and the episodes will be uploaded online.
Be sure to check cbs.com if it doesn't air in your city.

Thanks I can't count 

That's okay LOL I had transposed some figures and made four errors in my post, which I just fixed!

FYI, the usual Tuesday and Wednesday February soccer preemptions are coming soon for Y&R and B&B.  The shows will be overridden by European soccer on a few dates (USA only, and only in western timezones) but they won't count as *official* preemptions because at least half or more of the episodes air in the eastern cities.  So if you miss your show, catch it on another channel, or on your regular channel late at night, or catch it online.  Check your listings and be prepared to manually record if you record.
They've done this every year for past few years.

I don’t think it’s all her doing. He also had a child and they may both have those feelings about their families.

Josh Swickard and his wife Lauren have two children, born in 2021 and 2023.  Maybe his feelings changed after the second child was born?

Remember when Nicole couldn't seem to live down her past as "Misty Circle"?  This entire mess is bringing back memories of the hell she (Nicole) went through years ago trying to move on from her days as an underaged porn star.

And reframing that per January 2024 GH memorial episodes for Bobbie Spencer ... Bobbie was originally referred to as a teen prostitute, but the recent episode acknowledged that actually Bobbie was trafficked by Aunt Ruby -- and yet  Bobbie eventually found her own power in her life as a nurse, and Bobbie's final months were her helping current trafficking victims.

The same would be true for Nicole Walker.  To reframe this, fictional Nicole wasn't an underage porn star, she was someone trafficked by her father, but she eventually found her own power.   And now real-life Ari Z is standing up for all cast and crew subject to abusive situations.

To Kenny and the firedguy and anyone else who abetted the horrors

^ that was the first of a series of several tweets on her press conference.

For convenience, here is the whole thing in one tweet:

Edit to add:  AZ's attorney's statement at the same press conference:

Burton talks about his first day on set which was Tues Feb. 6.  He said he discussed his storyline with Korte.  Didn't say what the storyline is.  No mention of changes.  All he says is that he talked with Korte. (and that he liked what she said).

Don't get me started on what's been done with Anna over the years. I've said it many times; they've made her too soft and weepy too often, and too chummy with Sonny, etc. because the show has gone out of its way since 2012 to make it clear over and over that Anna is cool with Sonny so the audience should be too. Mo and Finola liking each other off-camera is not a good excuse. I love Anna and I hate how weak she's become re: Sonny, Valentin, etc.

I know AS was a little body conscious post-baby so it may be more that than a moral objection. 

Well, that's what I thought at first, when Brook Lynn was wearing blazers all the time for a year after Amanda gave birth.    But it's been a few years and she still is dressed very modestly.  At least she pulls it off wearing bright colors and being quite fashionable. She doesn't look dumpy at all!    But it was really obvious at the swimming pool when she was wearing a long dress.  A beautiful vibrant red attractive summer dress, but still.  At that point, I began to wonder if she requested it for her personal modesty beliefs (instead of it being a body image issue).  The zoom interview leads me to believe that it is indeed her wish, but I cannot confirm that.

John B. and Rachel Ames did it well in this clip.  Nothing was shown in the clip, but the chemistry was felt.  I watched Steve and Audrey live many years ago and I always felt they were soulmates.
 

But when watching Chase and Brook Lynn, I don't see the same heat portrayed as Steve and Audrey.

November 12, 2023: a live zoom event with Josh Swickard and Amanda Setton.
Josh and Amanda said they don't want to show their characters in hot sex scenes, not even if it's portrayed as lovemaking, (or anything else in bed apparently) because they are each committed to their real-life spouse, and they worry what could happen when their real-life children become teens and see their GH clips on the internet.

Recap of that section of the zoom call:
https://soaphub.com/general-hospital/news-gh/ghs-josh-swickard-and-amanda-setton-talk-boundaries-and-a-special-kind-of-steamy/

Quoting the soaphub recap:
“So far, the writers and the producers are super respectful of that, and we’re very grateful, and we are willing to chemistry it up and make-out up and make it all good in that way. But in terms of side by side in a bed with bra straps, it’s a bit of a boundary for us."

This was mentioned on twitter in early December and participants from the November zoom event confirmed that the soaphub recap is accurate.

Ellen Travolta plays Lois' mother Gloria and appeared at Thanksgiving.
In an interview, Ellen said about Amanda Setton "Her personal life is very important to her and she honors it."

As nice as is to be mised and so many of you have wondered what happened to me, I just want to let you know that I've been recovering from my knee surgery and today I'm going to have hip replacement surgery.  Thank you all for your love and support! Looking forward to a fast recovery! Love Robin ❤

Read this.  All of it.  It's horrific what they went through.

I support Ari.  I don't know what else to say.

thanks to the admins for merging the two threads

January episode must have been her last one.  That's why her story, Holly and Tate were abruptly left in the air.

AZ said the end of her contract (for taping) was January 2024.  She'll be airing for a while in the future.
Nicole and Holly are in the daily spoilers for Friday Feb. 16.
