Here Comes Trouble
After weeks of hearing the dreaded name Anthony Zacchara, GH's maniacal mob boss finally has a face — and it belongs to veteran character actor Bruce Weitz. Best known for his Emmy-winning role of Sgt. Mick Belker on HILL STREET BLUES, Weitz has also appeared on SISTERS (ex-Pug), ER (ex- Alderman Bright) and JUDGING AMY (ex-Martin). His first air date is October 12. The role is recurring.

Okay. JFP has hired Corbin Bernsen (ex-"L.A. Law"), and now Bruce Weitz (ex-"Hill Street Blues"). I know she's a big fan of Steven Bochco's work, but, come ON, Jill, lol.

I was really hoping Anthony would be Faith, Lorenzo, or Carly's dad..Someone we knew.

I didn't know that. I love those early ABBA days.

If we count non-consecutive years, I suppose Liz would be the longest, then Russ.

I'm not sure how many know that Neil and his then collaborator Phil Cody wrote the English lyrics for this song

Thanks for responding. I suppose Pat would likely be the fourth longest running character -- 1964 until 1982. Do you think I'm correct about Pat?

@slick jones Thanks for all you've shared lately and updating Jed.
Roark and Billy - both such stunning men. I did not remember that Billy was in that ill-fated Sopranos prequel. Paulie should never be that hot.
Jeff Eagle passed away in November 2025. He had parts on DAYS and Dynasty. I wasn't sure if you knew or not for any files you have as he wasn't exactly a big name in the mainstream - I saw it mentioned on Rialto Report as he was a '70s porn stalwart under the name Jeffrey Hurst. They also had a number of nice headshots of him. That site is NSFW so if you don't want to go there and ever need any I think several are also available through Google image search.

How could I have forgotten a young Michael E Knight? I was crazy for him when I was a teen.

Spin-offs only really work when they're not just an extension of the mothership. Early on it just seemed like Port Charles was General Hospital Pt II, so essentially an attempt at a 30 minute extension without directly tagging it onto the mothership (as AW had shown, that experiment didn't end up well). You could argue something like The Bold and the Beautiful is a de facto spin-off from The Young and the Resless, even down to similarish names. But still different enough to be interesting to be separate entities.

A little boring 😂
But I have to say that GH is still the best soap of 2026, so far

I recall reading that, during RKK's first stint on Another World as Sam Fowler, he threw a chair at Sandra Ferguson (Amanda), and that is why Charles Grant's Evan Bates and Amanda started their affair, as she no longer wanted to work with him (RKK, obviously!). Gee, I can't imagine why!
Which makes me disgusted that RKK continued to get roles after s.hit like this.
