Penn does nothing for me (except maybe as Spicoli). Having said that, that kiss is swoooooony.

SACRILEGE. My eyes, my eyes! My brain is burned with that nastay visual.

keep repeating: Greg Vaughan James Franco. GregVaughanJamesFranco. gregvaughanjamesfranco.

NEW YORK – James Franco will guest star on ABC's "General Hospital" for a lengthy story arc this fall.

The "Pineapple Express" and "Spider-Man" actor will play a mystery person who comes to the soap opera's town of Port Charles. The recurring role will begin Nov. 20 — to coincide with November sweeps — and will last about two months.

Executive producer Jill Farren Phelps says it's "an honor that an actor of Franco's caliber would choose to spend some of his valuable time in Port Charles."

The 31-year-old Franco will star as Allen Ginsberg next year in the film "Howl."

Details on Franco's role are being kept under wraps, but this much is known: His character will represent "the worst nightmare" for Jason Morgan, the mob thug played by Emmy winner Steve Burton.

What led Franco, who got his start on the prime-time comedy 'Freaks and Geeks,' back to the smaller screen? A source says he simply wanted to give soaps a try, and thus reached out to ABC's 'GH.' That Franco and Burton, his soon-to-be on-screen nemesis, share a manager is pure coincidence.

Port Charles' Newest Resident

General Hospital is going to get a little James Franco. RANDOM isn't even the word.

Soapnet announced that James wanted a role on the show, so they wrote him in just in time for November sweeeeeeeeps. James will play a "mysterious man" who comes to Port Charles. They would only say that James' character will makes Jason's life a "living hell." His first episode will air on November 20th and he's expected to stay for around 2-months.

GH's executive producer said that it was "an honor that an actor of Franco's caliber would choose to spend some of his valuable time in Port Charles."

Who knew that James Franco got the tingles for General Hospital?

Those of you who have a life (or a day job) might not know that Laura is currently in rehab in France (yes, I stay abreast of the goings-on in Port Charles) on the show. At least they say she's in rehab, but I think Laura was actually in France to have a sex change. James Franco should play the newly peened Laura who comes back to Port Charles and seduces Luke! Because James Franco and Luke need to have at least one [!@#$%^&*] scene. At least one.

And what is Nurse Bobbie going to say about this?!

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
