Sunday Surgery: The Subpranos, Guza Weighs In and more GH News

It's Sunday again! How is everyone? All giddy still from being blessed with a new opening??! Considering much of the background was imported from Night Shift, I'm still wondering why it took an age to get where it is..but hey.
Spoilers are up, I did them around midnight. Seems Michael is going to the "island"...ooooooo! The ISLAND! Where Sonny usually takes his dates and buys them dresses. Heh. Michael's not too happy with it though, you know, because he's missing school and all. There will be three Port Charles members on Sonny's jury. I'd say for angst wise it could be Patrick, Lisa and maybe Steve. Although I think they are all exempt because they are doctors. Maybe Matt is on it-- give that man airtime!! We should know soon enough who the lucky ones are. Can't be Epiphany or Eddie Q cause they sat when Sonny shot Carly. Or one of his other millions of trials.

In the recent issue of SID, Guza had a whole lot to say about the state of soaps and how he's "may be the last dinosaur standing...but still confident that we can provide quality entertainment and there's an audience out there who wants to see it." He says hiring Franco was a way to shake things up. We need to "hold them to task and make them earn it"... Ok, that's fine but you need to get your story arcs more cohesive, not screw around with block taping (as we saw the effects of that in the horribly inserted "Johnny/Max/Milo ambush crap) and tell something from start to finish.  Sick of the recycled WTD stories. Tired of the trials of Sonny Corinthos. "THIS will change everything"....didn't we hear that when he shot his wife in the head? Yes, "Events" are great but it's the day to to day telling of a story that really matters. Just sayin'

OH! I keep meaning to blog this, but the judge?? That's Head Master Charleston from Gilmore Girls!! I still miss that dang show.

Just because I know my Wubbers are curious like I am, take a gander at the Olympic flowers. I was watching the bobsled team's win and wondered what the heck they wree. I could tell the green mums...but eesh, they sure don't show up on film well. Here's an explaination about them from Karen's Flowers.  There are all sorts of restrictions that are given by the Olympic committee about making them and being "native" to the area. Interesting stuff.


I hardly ever do blind items, but this is too delish to pass up. Which GH Actor/Actress is so pissed about an upcoming storyarc they are :thisready: to walk? Last time I had one of these, we saw Rick Hearst go-go. Hmmmmmmmm. Put on your thinking caps!

Have you watched the Subpranos yet? It's Chrissie Fit's (Mercedes) fun webseries. Follow two New YAWKers on their journey in LA. Watch Eppy Three!!

The Q mansion is going to be rockin' soon. Even Big Alice will be around more as two girlies move in AND Skye comes through the door! I couldn't be more happy. I'm NOT happy that the Cassadine story seems to be dead in the water. ;/ I know Helena's around, trying to change DNA tests (which makes no sense, seems she'd ONLY want a 'REAL' Cassadine genes and all) but the real meaty story about evil Valentin isn't coming anytime soon.

Nancy Lee Grahn tweeted that she, Carolyn and Maurice were all drawing dirty ditties on their legal pads during the courtroom scenes this week. How fun is that? That's why twitter is so FUN! Want to know who's on twitter? go to GH TWEETS.

IT's Maurice Benard's Birthday March 1st.  Want to leave him a message? Go to Maurice Benards FanZine on Facebook!

Well, have a good one. BTW, seems SoapNet is in real trouble of going under or re-branding itself. Interesting, eh? Wasn't too long ago I was sure there'd be no soaps on network TV anymore and they'd ALL be on soapnet.

Daytime Emmy Pre-Nominations are out!!

GH People: Tony Geary, Maurice Benard, Laura Wright, Sarah Brown (for CLAUDIA!!), Carolyn Hennesy!!, Rebecca Herbst, Jonathan Jackson, Bradford Anderson and MANY MORE! Take a gander on Soaps 411 for complete Listing! No word on when they will air, btw. Producers are working hard at finding a venue/station. The final nominations will be given in April. 
 

Diane and Alexis: OUR Ladies of the Bar!!

AMC was a bit fun today...loved Greenlee telling Erica she had on a horrible dress, perfect for a bridesmaid! Jamie Lunar is so tall! When she was standing by Colby and Brooke, she looked like an Amazon...

OLTL: Yeah! Rachael Hugging Sky!! Scott Clifton is breaking my heart. I am also looking forward to the Christian/Jessica thing--that will be interesting. There's a new chick Anna on? Hmmm. Langston is also turning into quite the hotsie.  That was quite the old-fashioned Lust Scene today with she and Ford!!
Who's this newbie Anna/Hannah on there? Do they need a mix-up for Cole/Starr? That's Kris Alderson on set!
I like how they are making Jessica's speech all younger too.

Love & Gaga...

Just so you know I'm not JUST about the soaps, I thought I'd share this fabu pic that CL Tweeted last night. It just has 'interesting' written all over it

GENERAL HOSPITAL: New Spoilers up! GO take a gander and give me a hit! I am loving that Diane is on and Alexis is there too!! :twirling:!! How FUN is that? Remember, Carolyn's real life Hubby will be on as a patron in Jake's...look for him in leather. Loved the Sam/Krissy hissyfit! LOVE she mentioned Sam/Sonny!! heh.
The new attorney is way too young, and way NOT viperish enough to go head to head with Our Ladies of the Bar. Just sayin'.
Robin's trying to get sympathy for SONNY by bringing up Stone...uh Robin, honey, he didn't try to SHOOT Stone!! That shouldn't matter DANTE!! Don't let the Guza try to sway you from being the good cop!
LOVE Jax/Alexis. Even when they fight.
Ethan and Johnny will be cute together, thank you.
Milo/Michael fun as well...
BUT WE ARE MISSING KATE!

HISTORY #FAIL TODAY: Jagger's real name was JOHN and Stone's was MICHAEL. Look it up WRITERS! We have a long long memory, us fans!
Carolyn Hennesy has a fab interview with ABC. She mentions Connie Towers as someone she'd like to work with. I actually told her I wanted Diane to be be Helena's niece. How perfect would that be? Diane would know ALL the dish on Auntie Hells that happened when she was growing up in Spokane Washington.
Kim McCollough's (Robin) Bday is coming up March 5th. Send her a card at the studio..infact, send a card to whomever your fave actor is on GH...they always need the fanmail!
(actor's name)
General Hospital @ABC TV
4151 Prospect Ave
Hollywood, CA 90027

Speaking of Bdays, Kirsten Storm's fans have a charity page for you to check out. Project St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

HUGE amount of snow coming...it's falling pretty steady now. Maybe we'll finally get a whopper.

Thursday Soap Opera Blog Coalition

 Here you go, best o' the net!

Daytime Confidential's Jillian Bowe catches up with One Life to Live's Gina Tognoni and previews "something going on" with Kelly and Todd. (Daytime Confidential)




Pratt's gone and there is much to rejoice about. Check out the latest Pine Valley Bulletin commentary and poll! (Pine Valley Bulletin)



The terrible writing for Jason and Sonny lately has forced the Serial Drama girls to re-evaluate their list of least favorite things. And when a soap comes out looking worse than the Kardashian sisters, well...that's a problem. (Serial Drama)



Soap Opera Examiner's Mary Montanari pens an open letter to Days of our Lives' villainess Vivian. (Soap Opera Examiner) 



The Wubqueen is crushed to learn her favorite One Life to Live actress may be leaving, dishes about Robing Christopher returning to General Hospital and gives a fun weekend update of daytime's best tweets. (Wubs)

The Wubs Goat: Feta! Today's Snoop Show!

OMG, I totally LOVED Snoop singin' to the credits...OLTL is so fun. "Rappin' to One Life To Live"... heh. And Dani calling Jack "Mini Todd"!! Jack mentions Dani should be younger than him. OLTL is so good at tongue in cheek. Jack is such a great snotty kid.   I liked it that Starr and Cole couldn't find a babysitter for Snoop. Now, that's real. Snoop hugs Bo, Bo calls him Calvin!! Awww. And Asa knew Snoop  too! Classic. We also found out he knows Shawn. Nice show today. Yes, watching all the Llanview peeps "Dance" was a riot, but hell...at least Snoop sang a decent song...and he's trying to help ratings!
Kindafunny said on Twitter that: Snoop Dogs few times in Llandview trumps James Franco's month long appearance on GH.

GENERAL HOSPITAL TODAY: New Prosector Claire is on with Jax. Why would they meet at the Metro!? How stupid is that?
 Diane tells Sonny to "take his clothes off" before court because he's wearing all black and looks like a mobster. LOL Tells him to take the ring off too. Love that Alexis and Diane are together.
Epiphany is on a tirade today.  Lisa thinks she can bribe Pif with Beyonce tickets.
See Mike's out of the hospital...you REMEMBER MIKE don't YOU??? Loved that he called Krissy "Princess"...but why wasn't he in the hospital when Sonny/Dante were there? Why didn't they show Krissy/Michael visit him when he was in there????? They made him a CD and gave it to him OFF CAMERA. When will the writers get it that we like that kinda stuff on our soaps?
Why the HELL won't Sonny let Michael say he Killed Claudia? Michael was a minor, his Mom was being held...he didn't mean to kill her, he just meant to stop her. No brainer. :eyeroll:
This show is like two different ones: Hospital (minor point)...Mobular (Major point), they rarely meet. Just sayin'
Sam and Johnny: Uh, what's the point?

SO, do you like Claire so far? yeah? Nay? My take: They needed more of a pit bull-- this one is too young, looks too young and like Robin/Krissy/Sam. I think they should have hired Camryn Manheim ala The Practice. IT would have been EPIC!

Dr. Cala and Feta in Kenya! Remember when we all contibuted to buying a goat last year for Joining Hearts and Hands.org? I finally found this great photo to share. I just made another $50 donation for us all. With all the Haiti stuff going on, we tend to forget others are in need as well. This is my fave charity because I know Joanne and Bill personally. They actually GO there and help the children. So wonderful. Wouldn't the Cassadines love that goat?

Great Review on Jacob Young's Soap Opera "Mystery Theater"...Connie Towers was involved! Read all about it: Detroit Examiner.

Santa Barbara fan won Nancy Lee Grahn's twitter contest and is getting a ticket to LA for her efforts in getting NLG the most followers!

Lastly, THANK YOU for all the Holiday orders you placed through the Wubs Net with Amazon. I got a nice gift cert from them which helps out with costs so much!! If you order from Amazon, all you have to do is click on the icon on the upper left hand corner on the site and go into Amazon that way. Thanks again..

New Titles today and Livvie Walton comes to GH!

Michael Learned aka Olivia Walton is coming to GH to play an arc about a cancer patient with Scrubbies!! Night John-Boy!! (poor lady probably HATES that..heh) Dang, I loved that show. At least she's not Franco's mother! LOL. What made me say that??!

OLTL today: Farah (Gigi) was all off her game today....didn't convince me she was upset at all. I had no idea she and Rex were going out in real life but now that I do, I can so see why she's playing it like this. Which is not very professional, btw.  I think you could tell both she and he weren't happy in the last few months.  I felt so badly for Scott Clifton!  He is so GOOD!  Kimmy and Nigel were so fun and then Clint yelling at her. Wowza. Todd and Blair--I guess the Tea thing is just movin' along. And a little tweenielust with Matt and Dani? Good gravy, she moves fast! 

12,000th show a GO-GO! 

GH: The NEW OPENING can be seen in the post below this one. What do you think? I like Luke walking away...Wyndemere looks hysterical to me for some reason. The shot of the roof is also fun. See the doctor up there? (nod to SCRUBS?) Some of those things were taken from Night Shift. Which, considering it took like 2 years to make, is kind of a cop-out.
Hey, I think Sonny SMUGGLES JEWELS! Hence the necklace Johnny gave Jolivia. NICE..ok, I can get behind that. GEMS! I love it actually. Olivia looked like she had on a snuggie. LOL.
The hair styling department sucked. Maxie's mane was fugly-- hated Lulu's limp locks. Tracey looked like she was out of the '80's. 
Did LOVE Alexis in her yoga stuff...:) DIANE always brightens the day. Move those ladies in together!!  Move in together. Alexis said for the 12,000th time I won't join your law firm.

 

DIANE AND ALEXIS??

Spin looked nice in his vest. Better than his velour shirts. LOL. 
Lante were so cute.  I just really love them and DZ and JMB play them so well!!

THIS is supposed to be an exciting eppy? Geesh..maybe it will be next 30min...when  I go walk the dog. NOPE.
GUZA said it would be full of 12,000 references. I HEARD ONE...anyone hear any more? Anyone? Buller? Buller? BIG GALA Episode...lol.

BTW: @soapsverified is the one to follow on Twitter if you want to know if a star is real or not!

New General Hospital Opening Here!

If you can't wait...take a gander at the New Opening! I'm trying to find out the city scape in there..maybe it's Rochester! :) (We know that's the REAL PC!) What do you think? It's about damn time, that's what I think. Love Wyndemere!! The End's a decent nod too.
