A prominent fixture on X (formerly Twitter) since launching her account in March 2009, “General Hospital” star Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) has announced that she is ceasing posting on the social media platform, effective immediately, citing Elon Musk, owner of the social media giant, as her reason.

Although never referring to Musk by name, Grahn said in a statement posted to her more than 200,000 X followers on Wednesday, “I’ll no longer be posting on a platform controlled by a meglamanical oligarch now that r [sic] country has committed suicide. It feels unsafe.”

In a separate post shared hours earlier, Grahn preemptively indicated she would be shutting down all of her social media accounts, saying, “I have done all I can do. I will be deleting all my social media in protection of my daughter. I’m so sorry. May God help us all.”

Grahn’s earlier post came shortly after it was announced that former President Donald J. Trump had been declared President-elect Trump. However, in Grahn’s latest statement, she noted, “I’ll remain here solely to protect my name from being hijacked & will repost only. Plz connect with me on Threads, BlueSky, IG, FB & TikTok.”

Following her last formal post on X, Grahn made her first post on Bluesky, one of the newest social media platforms created by former Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.

“I am here now as I can no longer defend speaking on a site controlled by a dangerous meglamaniacal oligarch,” commented Grahn who has amassed several hundred followers in the brief time since launching her Bluesky account. “My pg, my rules so trump supporters will be blocked. This is a safe space 4 those of us in need of a place to commune with like hearts & minds & humor when we can find it again.”

Late Wednesday afternoon, President Joseph R. Biden announced he had spoken to President-elect Trump after the 45th president received roughly 312 electoral college votes to 226 for Vice President Kamala Harris, who formally conceded the election to her Republican opponent via private phone call and an address to the nation.

In the years since Trump’s first election in 2016, Grahn has been an active voice among daytime performers when it comes to politics, often voicing her opinion on various topics impacting American citizens, particularly women’s rights. 

In 2022, Grahn appeared on the red carpet at “The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” with the words “reproduction freedom” written over her chest area while holding a purse that had the words “bans off our bodies” written across it.

At press time, Grahn’s X post has received over 11,000 viewers and garnered more than 300 likes. You can follow Grahn on Bluesky @nancyleegrahn.bsky.social.

I, too, have deactivated all my social media accounts and plan to switch over to Bluesky.

I've also decided not to renew my Amazon Prime membership and, in the future, if and when I need to order anything online, I'll do so by other means.

I can't do anything that enables men like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos anymore.  I just can't.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?
