Maurice Benard on James Franco

Telebuddy expands his interview he had with Maurice this summer on the set of General Hospital. This time Benard talks about Franco and who'd he'd like to see for Sonny's next villain. (I LOVE THE IDEA!) Go to Knoxville Blogs, Tinseltown for all the scoop!

So...Read Any Good Books Lately?!

Just making conversation.  LOL. I could be reading instead of sitting here on my buttocks. But,  I'm not--I'm wacthing Soaps.
I really REALLY don't like Inez on OLTL or the actress that plays the character. She's just flat. I think Sidney Penny would do a bag up job playing her!! 

GENERAL HOSPTIAL: 
Here's a fun interview with John Ingle (Edward Q) for you to read! He has FIVE daughters and NINE grandkids!! 


Loved Carly's dress today, finally something that looks Western NY appropriate. Yes, I do notice. 
Lisa's hair is going bad in proportion to her crazyness. Lord.


LOVED Tracy asking Lulu to be her maid of honor!! yippee!! I just wish they weren't on the boat together. I mean A BOAT. ;/ it's winter, did I mention that. I wonder if she'll invite Brooke Lyn. I think she actually goes with Nikolas to the wedding.

Bradford Anderson made me LOL today, and I rarely do that. Did you see him look at Brenda when Jason mentioned eloping!!?? Braahahhha! Brilliant. I don't like how they have Brenda treat Spin though--kinda like he's 'Special'-- I was waiting for her to talk REALLY LOUDLY to him. 


LUKESON was on today!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love them!! LukeSonRitas!! Better than S&B, for me! heh. I also loved Milo/Max in the chef gear. 


Kristina and Michael  were good together. I wish they were on more together. Those school uniforms are so Harry Potter. That's one thing GH is so bad at...making scenes that SHOULD be casual and natural into everyday things. It always seems like a "Set Up". 


Anyone else think Lisa's 'confession' on the Net would have been more interesting if it was topless? That's all I could think of. 


Lady JANE!! xxoo

Maxie and Olivia Love Dove Chocolate!

This is a promo with Lisa LoCicero and Kirsten Storms for Dove Chocolate. Heck, I'd rather watch this than the show sometimes! LOL

World AIDS Day: General Hospital Legacy

                                                                        1993-95
Back in the days when GH was at the forefront of sweeping stories, nothing had been on quite like the Stone Cates tale of a young heterosexual man with the HIV Virus. Not only that, he infected his young girlfriend, a major character on the show with the virus as well. His struggle and death was at the heart of one of the most classic of all GH arcs. Michael Sutton won a Daytime Emmy award for his work and appeared in two AIDS related PSAs and educational videos.


Branching out from his death, the popular Nurses' Ball was held every year in his honor. Many fans don't realize it ran from 1994-2001 and showcased some of the best talents on GH.  One of my fave numbers  was "Jail House Rock" featuring Taggert (Real Andrews), Dara Jenson (Vanita Harbor) and Lucky and Liz Webber. These Balls also gave us a glimpse into the stars other talents besides acting. They were a joy to watch. Unfortunately,  because of budget concerns and the move to more block taping, these productions were cut. 

Many GHers continue to do charity work for the AIDS cause. Alberta walked with team SCRUBS in the LA AIDS Walkathon last year. This year, Alberta raised $200 with the help of WUBS fans for the LA AIDS Cause. Alberta has also walked in the NYC AIDS charity event. 


I dedicate this blog today to my childhood friend Mark who died from complications from the virus in 1988. He was a great guy and is missed so much.

Tyler Christopher lands ABC Family Pilot

 
The Lying Game is a hour drama slated for AMC Family. He plays Detective Matthews, father of Garrett Matthews. The Lying Game is based on the book of the same name by Sara Shepard. The plot resolves around a teenage girl who’s killed and the long-lost twin sister who takes over the dead girl’s life to try and find her murderer. This is a recurring role, so not sure how it would effect his stint on General Hospital. Hopefully it will get picked up!! 
Thx to Sheri for info 

General Hospital was LAST in Total Viewers for Soap Ratings last week.

Wow.. WOW. . This actually makes me sad--sad for the show that once was. After watching Wed, and knowing there can be so much more to this soap, just breaks my heart. Many people were lamenting the show after catching the marathon on SoapNet over the weekend. Shows where it once was in cast integration and more fresh ideas. 

Get all the ratings on Soap Opera Network.

GH is still 2nd in 18-39 women however, you can see how many other people watch if it skated to 6th place. This show has the best actors out there. WTF-- AND Vanessa's back!! What is it going to take to get this back on track? On another note, I am so glad OLTL is up there because it deserves it.

Here's Lisa in ITALY!! She found a fun store close to her heart. That's another character I miss on GH--and now she's going to sleep with--STEVEN?! :throws hands up:  I mean, I like them both and maybe if they saw each other more than 1x every 5 months, it would make sense. Nothing happens naturally anymore.

OK, enough of that!! OLTL was fun today, although the new Joey is bland as soap water.  Aubrey seems ok. Inez can get killed for all I care. 

GENERAL HOSPITAL TODAY:  IT'S THE BIG DATE DAY!! And where do they go??! METRO Court...because?????? errrrrrrrrrr?? And why did Sonny bother to even argue with Carly!!? 

OMG...those black shoes and DRAMA music when people talk about Jerry Jax!! ahahhahaaha. I was crying laughing. AND the Jerry Jacks mention 99 times today! I really think  this show is written for 12 year olds.  Someone says "Jerry Jacks" and we see black shoes tapping. Like 5 times. LOL How can Dante even think the Balkan could be Jerry Jacks? The Balkan had a KID that was too old to be Jerry's. Well, unless we get some trick GH aging.  Then again, this is GH.  Someone told me  the Balkan won't be "Theo" because DB has scheduling conflicts..but I'm not buying that yet. I still want Suzanne to be the Balkan, it would be brilliant. 


What WAS the point of the Jax/Olivia scenes?? I love LLC and I'm glad she was on, but geesh. It was such filler. 

Lisa's Viral  "Confession"--whatever.

Monday Afternoon Soapy-Town!

Today's OLTL was great-- Joey's home, some new chick's on the plane. Clint's trying to get Inez to sleep with Bo. Oh, he's so nasty!! Loved it!! Bo taped Ford Daddy's mouth shut. He says to Nora "Nice rack! I thought you'd be a hag"!! Pffft!! He also mentions "Castle" which is a direct nod to Nathan Fillion (Joey) when the NuJoey was coming today. I also HATE Inez so much.  Her acting, her character..everything. BOO

Oh the OSCAR news with Franco hosting is just making me giddy today. Sorry, but you know my obsession with the CO77x man after he was all over Port Charles. Alberta got signed by him, he met a ton of fans, and now? Hell, he's gonna host the Academy Awards! DANG! Think he'll have a Fronkey vest on? I'd love it. I want to be his stylist for the night. 





GENERAL HOSPITAL: What fryin' pan hit Steve all of a sudden being al awesome with Lisa?? GOOD GAWD. Then Nikolas is kissing her butt? LOL. Okayyyyyyyy. Nikolas and Steve's  hair both looked like crap today.

I am so hoping that "Siobhan" is really Sally Smith from somewhere in the midwest when her interpol connections come out. I can't deal with her accent anymore

Brenda's outfit was sooooooooo size 00 Kardashian today!! I am really hating her clothes lately. I thought it was so cute when Spinelli tried to be all "Fatherly" with Sonny regarding Brenda!! ahahaha! He even tells Sonny to use 'protection'. GH has such great moments.


Liked Lucky showing up to Sam's "work".  They all had black on...kinda like the "Men In Black" movies!

Oh, I like the random "My Confession.com" with the cheerleading girlie and Lisa. What the heck!! LOL. Good to see something going on in the ER.  By the way, when you go to www.watchmyconfession.com it takes you to the ABC/GH site! 


I had to put this tweet on here I saw today: @ChrizNasty: AH #GH the show of many two people scenes where everyone talks about nothing lol

I saw Ted King on a LOWE'S commercial? For a wrench! LOL He'll be on OLTL next month! woot! 
From Soap Opera Source: GH will air the first two episodes from their 2007 MetroCourt storyline on 12/23 & 12/24. Maybe to remind us how evil Jerry Jacks was?
