This is the only time Ava and Trina working at an art gallery makes sense.

That's nice of her to clear up the untruths about Frank.

ARTICLE: 'Ransom Canyon' Renewed For Season Two At Netflix
Philip Winchester is the best part of the show (as he is with any show he's on)!

ARTICLE: Nicole Paggi Back to 'General Hospital,' Temporarily Replaces Kirsten Storms as Maxie Jones
Michael and Maxi sure had a lot of chemistry in their scene this week. I don't know if it's the new actor playing Michael that's making the acting choice himself (if so, kudos to him for having chemistry with every scene partner!) or if there was written direction in the script testing out future romances for Michael. He also had some chemistry with the Molly character this week, too, but the show's probably not going to go that route since Molly is half-sisters with his half-sister. What an incestuous canvas!

ARTICLE: Eva LaRue Exiting 'General Hospital' As Natalia Ramirez
So glad this awful character is gone, I just wish she did a murder-suicide scene with Sonny. I hope they don't have a big funeral and reintroduce that character's daughter. Both of her kids and her ex-husband all the mobsters need to be written off of GH. It was nice to see Eva La Rue on ABCD again, though! Maybe a Dr. Maria Santos transferring into GH would have been better.

ARTICLE: 'The View' Moderator Whoopi Goldberg Joins Italian Soap Opera 'Un Posto Al Sole' For "Special Storyline"
She needs to stay on that Italian soap and off that terrible View show spouting debunked, stale neoliberal talking points that helped get Trump, Biden, Trump elected over the past decade. ABC needs to cancel that horrible show finally and bring back The City with some more diversity in honor of Mayor Mamdani!

ARTICLE: Josh Kelly Drops To Recurring Status At 'General Hospital'
I hope that's not an indication of him leaving the show soon. He's the best male actor (along with the new Michael actor) currently on General Hospital and should be on frontburner storylines. They need to get rid of Sonny, Kai & Trina and put him back on contract!

ARTICLE: 'Grosse Pointe Garden Society' Canceled After One Season At NBC, No Future On Streaming At Peacock
That's disappointing since there's such a lack of good serial dramadies in the style Desperate Housewives, GCB and Good Girls. I loved Melissa Fumero's character (and also Aja King's character) and it would have been interesting to see their stories develop in future seasons. Actually I liked all of the characters and stories except for that stupid, whiny white girl on the right of that photo.

ARTICLE: ‘General Hospital’ Tops Hulu’s Top 15 Today Rankings Chart
I don't understand why Hulu, since it's under the same parent company as ABC/GH, doesn't house all of GH's episode archives instead of only 10 recent episodes at a time.

ARTICLE: Kelly Thiebaud Back To ‘General Hospital’
Yay! This is great news. She can't come back soon enough.

ARTICLE: Renée Elise Goldsberry & Darren Criss To Host Live Pre-Show ‘The Tony Awards: Act One’ For Pluto TV
Aww...I love both of them! When I saw the headline with the 2 names, I was hoping it was going to be a new scripted dramedy. It's a shame OLTL/ABC didn't use Renee/Evangeline to the fullest extent possible when they had her.

GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread
They need to put this new Michael on frontburner every day for as long as they can. They also need to bring in a new love interest (or many) for him. Give this actor as much material as possible, please! I hope this Drew-Michael nephew-uncle rivalry goes on for the long haul. I was worried they were leading up to a Drew murder mystery, but that would prematurely end some great long-term soapy storytelling. The Quartermaines don't need any more dead family members, either.

ARTICLE: ‘General Hospital’ Celebrates 62nd Year On Television
Hopefully it lasts forever. I like how GH keeps Llanview (Lulu writing an article for the Llanview Banner) and Port Charles (Deception competing against Erica Kane's Enchantment) alive.

ARTICLE: ‘Days of our Lives’ Alum Mark Valley Set As Co-Lead In Thriller ‘Hostage’ From Director Luca Elmi
Yeah, I've been a fan of him since his role on Days. He's been excellent in all of his subsequent roles. He was my favorite character on Fringe and Boston Legal.

ARTICLE: ‘The Young and the Restless’ Alum Daniel Goddard Returns To Daytime, Joins ‘General Hospital’ As Professor Henry Dalton
Nice to see him on GH!

ARTICLE: ‘General Hospital’ Generates Creative Show-Within-A-Show Promotional Campaign In Anticipation Of Nurses Ball Return
So Lucky didn't show up at all and neither did the Magic Milos (or anyone topless on stage, not even Lucy's traditional wardrobe malfunction). LOL. The Nurse's Ball was pretty good this year. I guess the surprise guest was the Michael recast (which seems like a good choice)? That was a nice cliffhanger.

ARTICLE: Steve Burton & Fiancée Michelle Lundstrom Move In Together, Share Photos of Orange County Digs
Khan's response had me 😂 . Happy for Steve Burton, though. His GH return has been good.
-
ARTICLE: Bryce Durfee Cast As Josslyn’s WSB Handler on ‘General Hospital’
Joss' WSB story is much better than Emma's antiquated Students Against Animal Cruelty non-story and Trina's sad-sack story with the injured quarterback and newfound love of "art." They all should be out of college by now, too, having been in school for eons. This show does not know how to write for 20somethings or teens, at all.

ARTICLE: ‘The Faulkner Focus’ on Fox News Channel Tops ABC’s ‘The View’ For The First Time Ever
This is so embarrassing and pathetic for ABC. They need to cancel The View and restart One Life To Live and All My Children in its place!

GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread
Did anyone else notice Stella's blue teeth in that scene where Brad is kissing his bicep when Lucas shows up? How do you get blue teeth? That's the coolest thing about the character. I really like how the show is centered around Drew Quartermaine as the show's male lead now. That's the classic philandering soap male character that's been missing from this show for too long. It's hilarious that he's been with Carly, Nina and Nina's daughter now. 🤣 I wonder what the Carly & Nina team up is going to lead to at Drew's new house. Are we going to have a "gaslighting of Mitch Laurence" type story?

GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread
Was there any reporting on why they recast Jack Brennan? That was a surprise. I liked the actor. The recast actor is good, too. Wasn't he Joey Buchanan back in the 1990s on One Life To Live? Surprised they gave Selena Wu an actual office and said she has a shipping business! Good for her.

So sad. She was so beautiful on All My Children. Thanks for the update.

LATEST DEMO RATINGS: January 6-10, 2024
What does the "(45 mins runtime)" mean for GH? Did they air less commercials on that day on ABC or does that mean 15 minutes was preempted by some bogus news?

GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread
LOL. Loved your whole post. I guess Kristina owning the same bar she was managing and bartending part-time for years isn't much of an event. Jordan being so mid and constantly cool is her whole style (and a nice contrast to the over-the-top scenery-chewing that's done by the rest of her extended family). I cannot believe they have her son playing a 30something doctor when she looks 20something. She's the most beautiful woman in ABC Daytime since Renée Elise Goldsberry. I'm glad they're treating her better than they treated poor, under-used Evangeline (who definitely belonged with Trevor St John's character, if the show didn't wimp out). I hope Cyrus kills Gio & Kai soon. I'm sick of Trina's aimless stories at the art gallery and art class with the quarterback. They're worse than Liz when she was talking about painting the wind back in the day. The actress that plays Trina could do a great job if they made the character (figuratively) dark. It's doubly a shame they got rid of Esme. Trina having a nemesis that corrupts her would be far more compelling. I thought Cody & Molly were cute. I hope they don't send Cody into a destructive spiral and turn him into another AJ.

ARTICLE: Season 15 of ‘The Talk’ Concluded With Record Low Ratings
I agree! I never watched the show consistently, but the hosts in this final seasons were the most likeable in all of daytime. I'm hoping Whoopi, Joy, Anna and whoever else on The View really upset Trump soon and create so much controversy that ABC cancels that horrible show. They caved to him already in that ridiculous defamation lawsuit. I'm not MAGA, but cancelling The View to bring back One Life To Live and/or All My Children would make ABC great again!
