Freaky Friday in Foam Land...Frons is Fizzled.

Actor DaJuan Johnson is guesting on Prime Suspect, airing December 15th. DaJuan played Asher Cauldwell for a few eppies on GH when ELQ was around. 

I decorated what I could without hauling the big stuff up... I always say I'm going to cut down or get rid of some of my stuff and I never do. LOL. Pier One had some fun things in it.


I watched the Banger Sisters today!! Love that movie. You don't think about your past until your future is slammin' full force. 

Notice I'm not talking much about the soaps? I'm soaped-out right now. Too much to think about, but you know I'm writing my Sunday Surgery in my head. OY! It's also weird to think about watching GH now knowing it's going to change so much in 2 months. These stories? eh. Dead in the water probably. Maybe we'll see who owns the feet in Wyndemere soon? ugh.... 

GH:
Molly was wandering around Feta-Land. Sonny was angsting over DEKE DEKE DEKE! ugh. I guess we know it's "the city" From the graffiti and the sirens LOL
Monica, Tracy saved the day. MONICA SLAPPED Luke and said to Paddy and Steve:
"I'm the only one of the three of us that DIDN'T have sex with Lisa Niles"!! ahahahaa
Maxis was on...who thinks they'll ever sleep together?  I don't.
Hate Maggie. Did I already say that?! 
CHICAGO....huh. Interesting. Abner is toast
Lady in White looks like lulu redux

My name is Sonny
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes i think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

AND the FRONS news broke at 3:00pm how fitting. Heh-- well... That probably also signals the total end of GH. We shall see...I will keep you updated. The guy taking over for him is a reality based guy. Not really great news, but karma? You bet. 

I want GH to go out Novella style. Let FV and RC write a bang up ending Mini-Series. Hire me to help. I will do it for free!! 

Nancy Lee Gran on the Frons news: "I can see my life flashing before my eyes"

Steve Burton:  "Just crazy around here today"

Daytime Killer Brian FRONS IS OUT PEOPLE!!

 BYE!

That's right!!!! SID broke the news on Twitter right now....Read all about it on Michael Fairman Consolidation will happen for Daytime...and Frons is moving to some other in-house division.
I just wish the idiot was on YEARS AGO! Even more on Deadline!
This doesn't mean that the soaps are saved and I doubt if GH is staying but hell, I'm happy. His replacement is a reality TV programmer so don't count your chickens.

Frons will assist in the transition to the new structure and will provide counsel to the management team. “Brian Frons has been the driving force in our successful Daytime division since joining us in 2002, and while we understand his decision to leave at the end of his contract, we’re sad to see him go,” Sweeney said. “We took this opportunity to rethink our business, and the result was the creation of Times Square Studios. Having it be part of the ABC Entertainment Group, under the supervision of proven executives Vicki Dummer and Paul Lee, provides us the opportunity to bring greater creative resources, development strength and operational flexibility to this key area of our business.”

Frank Valentini Gives First Interview On GH Stint

 Read the whole thing on Entertainment Weekly.com

He’s coming in with a gameplan for the show, which has heard criticism from longtime fans about the emphasis mob-related story lines and violence. “But I don’t think it will change dramatically,” he says. “I have to come in and assess what’s working and see what can be made better.”

It’s too early to know if that means any Llanview residents might be taking a trip to Port Charles but Valentini, who says he’s been a fan of GH, isn’t looking to upset the balance right away. “It’s an incredible group of actors and a great crew [at GH]. One Life is it’s own book.” The final episode of OLTL airs Jan. 13.

His message to GH fans?  “At this point, during the transition, I ask the audience to be patient. Come along for the ride, and enjoy and love their show.”

From your lips to Soap's Ears! 

What A Day in Soap Land!!

Phew...Twitter blew the hell up!! LOL Everyone wants this or that for GH--with a dash of OLTL cast coming in.  Word has them coming in January. That means the changes should kick in Feb. Sweeps. Can you wait it out?? Frons is 'ALL HAPPY' about this change. What a liar. He doesn't care. GH is probably cancelled anyway. I'm still upset OLTL isn't coming online. This is the next best thing though. My fave head writer headlining my show. wow. Can't quite grasp it.
WOLF and Altman will stay on the show, btw...as script writers. 

One Life To Live today: Didn't see much because I was busy on twitter. LOL... I know that Todd is finding out that stupid Jack may have set the fire.

GH: I just hope they bring some of Llanview over. We'll have months to speculate on  what's  going to happen! Many people want to know if JJ will stay now...I think Kim is gone to direct. I'd love for Nora and Bo and Tea to come over to Port Charles. Destiny and the Evans...*sigh*...I have a long list. Infact, I'd rather have some GH people move to Llandview!!
I'd love for GH  to go out in style...like Boardwalk  Empire, Breaking Bad and other great cable shows do. People die all over in shocking ways. If it's leaving make it a bang-up. Then, have Luke/Laura dance in Wyndams. 

Molly and Alexis-- too cute.  "I don't need a man, I need a nap"  Alexis speaks my language!!

SKate boring boring ...they've been coming in and out of that hotel room for eons.  Not showing us anything they do! They went out, came back, changed clothes, went out, came back, changed and talked about where they went..for DAYS NOW!!!! ahahhaaaa.  killed me.

Wyndemere IS SO BAD! ahahhhaa..bare feet all over!!!

Team From OLTL Coming To General Hospital

It's official. Here's Brian Frons:


"Frank and Ron's creativity, passion and outstanding leadership will be a welcome addition to the cast and crew, as well as viewers and longtime fans," says ABC Daytime president Brian Frons in the statement. "As creative leaders in the industry, I am very excited for their arrival to GH and their dedication to the genre will certainly invigorate the daytime drama that has been part of the pop culture and the TV landscape for many years."

So there you have it! The EP and Headwriter from One Life to Live is coming to GH. When will we see the changes? Probably at least 2 months. Here's hoping it turns around.

Announcement Coming on Jill Farren Phelps Exit?

Late last night ...Soaps In Depth tweeted the info that Producer Jill Farren Phelps will be exiting GH and Frank Valentini from One Life to Live will be in. What does this mean for us, the viewer? 

Short term: Great... FV takes chances  and hopefully will fix this. Will he bring head writer Ron Carvalti with him? You know how I love One Life to Live so yes, it's great news to turn things around. 

Long Term: Not hopeful. Lorainne Broderick came to AMC to "sweep up"... the show was over. GH isn't even listed on my station's fall line-up.  That makes me the saddest. 

There should be a press announcement coming soon regarding all this shake-up. I'll update when I can. Raven has rumored JFP out for months, I'm surprised it took this long.
