Closeted (gay) actors formerly on the soaps
To me, he looks so much better with less hair, nicely styled, nothing drastic ... do you at all see what I mean? If not, it's okay.

GH: Actor returning
I don't understand this idea that this shows that Frank is desperate. On the contrary I think it shows that Frank is riding high, cementing his place, insuring his continued GH employment & also that he is succeeding wildly!

GH: Actor returning
He loved and respected Tony Geary immensely, and Tony is most likely bisexual or prefers no label. He did marry his longtime male companion after he retired, they had been together since his 90’a return. He was also on Nashville, which had LGBTQ stories and he didn’t make negative statements or quit the show about that. He is super Jesus though so time will tell. I was reminded by a poster that JJ's Lucky got along fine with Lucas and at a time when he was known to be gay. To me there's only one downside to JJ returning as Lucky & that is it will make me miss Tyler that much more.

I'm sure that what they promised JJ to get him was that he could have L&L2 again.

GH: June 2024 Discussion Thread
Very wonderful dinner scene. I know Patrick Mulcahey used to be known for dinner scenes so I wondered if it was his pen behind all that soapy pasta goodness. Kristina calling out Ava as she said stabbing Alexis in the back was nothing short of delightful. And, then, for not only Sonny but Natalia to give her kudos for defending her mom!!! Then, did you SEE the amazed look on Natalia's face when Ali said she would have done the same thing if it had been her mom, or mami. One thing that amazed me was that Ava didn't even begin to "read the room" or if she did, she misread it, badly. Peckish, my eye. Yes, I believe the order for him goes like this: AW, OLTL, GL, ATWT, AMC, Y&R, GH Started at AW, moved on to OLTL & was there really a long time 85-96, then about 8 years at GL & there at the end, and so on. In general, if you ask me, which you did not, I think yesterday's GH was nothing short of amazing. We got so much closure. We found out so many things. So much moved along in terms of both characters & events. From Tolly, so awkward at the beginning & then having such a really good conversation - and they really needed to have one! Then, justifying the S rating by deciding to make love rather than eat supper. As has been said, Sonny was more like himself & less like some monster. Natalia for the first time ever did not make me want to kill her, or Frank whoever comes first Carly with Cates & his champagne. He says she's his best friend in Port Charles. She replies, "You need to get some friends." We did not know it at the time but we knew all of her conversation had this edge to it. That's because the whole time she was thinking about stabbing him with this letter opener. WHOA. Then, Carly had the most wonderful visitation. Of all people, it was Spinelli, who talked her down off the ledge when she was heading out the door to turn herself in!!!

Not that it is the same thing, not at all, but I believe there are still "people" like agents, managers etc. who tell daytime actors who have moved on to primetime or film to hide their daytime beginnings. I was thinking about Adam Harrington & I thought, well, I wondered, why doesn't his boyfriend make him get a decent haircut?! But, it seems that Frank likes the way he looks so maybe he is a type.

Thank you very much for this information! As it happens, the first time it was a 3rd party but a company on behalf of DAYS OF OUR LIVES. But, you could be totally right about this most recent time. And, again, thanks!

Hey there & welcome! I've been out of pocket so I am catching up. So nice to have you here. We love all the work & the love that you put in on AWHP!!! People are often surprised at how much love there is for Another World after all this time. And, today is that day, June 25th. I recently thought about the fact that Baby Jasmine, born in a stuck elevator, would today, without benefit of SORASing, be a 25 year old young woman. Personally, I always liked that actor. However, I don't think the writing at that time really did justice.

GH: June 2024 Discussion Thread
AFA we know she is co-HW without another co. Also there is writing that is still Patrick's. What I sense is a subtle shift, as if the proportion is different. I suspect now more is Korte/Frank & I say that in that way because there is no doubt that Frank is one of those EPs who can't stay out of the writing. So that leaves Patrick being less.

I love being right! I said if he was returning it would be brief & he'd be in spirit form. Will he appear to Sonny or to Carly? I wonder.

GH: June 2024 Discussion Thread
Carly was so close to stabbing him!!! Tracy is unbelievable! Plus, Diane, called to the Qs late one night, having NO IDEA why she was being summoned. That dame can size up a situation faster than anyone else, ever, anywhere. And, yes, first time I've not detested Natalia. Spin took care of business! Who would ever have thought that Spinelli could talk Carly out of going directly to Cates & turn herself in?!!! Molly wasn't talking nonsense before but TJ was & now he is making sense again. But, he's turned out to be so incredibly stupid!! I can definitely see how that could be .... uh, desirable circumstances & not because of shocking moments per se, but, just because everything wouldn't hashed out before it even occurs in the fictional universe!!!

I don't think either Maura or JPS are going anywhere. However, I do think it's true that they are in one of those periods when they cannot say much & that is because Frank & whomever else has authority has clamped down HARD on "leaks". They do this really pretty often. Despite the fact that they give out carefully worded "spoilers" that are really previews once a week, their minds are firmly made up that fans should not know what's going to happen until it happens on the screen. Agree with them, or not, it is a valid point of view & they are entitled to attempt to enforce it. After all, it only makes sense that they should try to control the flow of information. Now some about the actual show ... I'm afraid some "fans" are delusional. It seems as if they think Jason threw open the cave & stepped out into the Greek sunlight & said, "I'm going to fake my death, go work for the FBI & this will be my new life, unlike any life I've lived before! I am Jason, hear me roar!" You remember when Jason said, "Once this job is finished, I'm going to take my life back & it's the only life I want." I think he was talking about Carly. Also recall when he ticked off allowing himself to think of home while he got his new ink? Last of all, Carly. He's saying.

Possibly you are speaking of Lance Jackson. He is in my forum & he is a close personal friend of hers. He is a professional organist & since he is also a soap fan he recreated all of the themes of organ music & has them on a YouTube channel. Somehow years ago Ms. Prinz discovered his organ music & loved it & got in touch with him & their friendship grew quite naturally from there. https://www.youtube.com/@LanceJacksonOrgnplyr

We can buy them from him - and I have bought some. But, he has this proviso that you promise not to post what you buy from him, anywhere. I will say, to his credit, he got the opening to MISS SUSAN, and he gave it to me, no cost to me & no strings attached. He knew I needed it for the Star Billing blog. If anyone wants his email to ask for his current listings, I can PM it to anyone. (I don't feel comfortable posting a private email address.)

Rosemary Prinz at one point had a videotape that had been Agnes's & Rosemary found it in the bottom of a closet where it had been misplaced for a pretty long time. She also had other videos that she passed along. Unfortunately the person she passed these along to is a guy who has a cottage industry of unusual episodes. To my way of thinking I would always hope that these treasures would end up where they would be shared most widely, but that's just me.
