Nylon: Kalup and Franco Premiere Plus Fronkey Stuff!

Hear TURN IT up on NYLON Mag

A great piece in the Globe and Mail about Franco and Franco-Haters. LOL Except:

Franco himself, in his art and in interviews, is a bizarre hybrid. He is alternately cold and lacking in affect, then radiant and disarming. (His almost-iconic smile, which floats through the video like a symbol of his methodology, is the engine that turns his charm on and off.)

Question is....when is he due back on GH?? He'll be busy promoting "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" soon, on press junkets all over the globe. It's due to hit theaters August 5th. A new Playboy Interview is out and it's a good one.  In the beginning of all this his 'people' said he'd be back this summer, which looks unlikely. I am also wondering with Guza leaving, it that will have anything with him coming back --or not.  
I know that some of you don't like the Fronkey Franco, but it gave me some fun on my rainy days :) C077X

Natalia Livingston in Bedford County!

Natty is turning her family owned property into a vacation rental and hopeful filming location in Bedford County PA.

Natalia Livingston, who has played starring roles on “General Hospital” and “Days of Our Lives,” along with her family, has had renovated and is opening Blossom Hill Farm, located near Alum Bank.

“We have a great vision for it. There are lot of different areas of possible use,” said Livingston who resides in Los Angeles. “I was the whole family, we started thinking this would be an ideal location for films.”

Members of the Livingston family and members of the business community are scheduled to gather at the Orchard Road site this morning to officially open Blossom Hill Farm.

The concept has great potential, said Kellie Goodman Shaffer, executive director of the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce.

General Hosptial Today...

I'm afraid I'm going to be at an appointment.  Grrr. ONLY HAD 3pm time I'm like DON'T YOU KNOW THAT'S GH!? LOL....

SO take over wubbers!! 

Sonny and Brenda are going to implode, btw-- I'm sure that's not news to their fans, but it's still bad writing, imo. What a wasted year.

A few new Spoilers are out.... www.wubs.net 


NEW JASAM Promo is out: He pops the Question!! Oh,  let the WARS BEGIN! 

SON has Star Reactions to Cyber-Soaping!!

Soap Opera Network has compiled soap actors tweets regarding the jump into the digital net. Here's a sample, but hit the link to read them all..there are a lot!

Kassie DePaiva (Blair): "Wow!!! What a u turn? Don't know what it all means yet. Very happy for our fans!!! VERY!!! You deserve to have these shows continue after your years of support!" 

Catherine Hickland (ex-Lindsay): "I want to be excited about this news for viewers but need to know more about everything. hated seeing you know who's quotes in article. STFU. If ANYONE made something happen with shows moving forward, it's the FANS! #get it?? And know that it is Agnes Nixon who fought alongside of you all tirelessly, never letting go of her "children" for even a second!"

Sunday Surgery: Guza's Parting Shots

 Oh we're not rid of our Mr. Guza yet! It's coming Wubbers, it's coming...but until then it seems we are paying the piper in some classic Guza "storytelling".

Villianize those characters before disposing of them.  Mr. G's opus operandi  is either to totally forget a character exists (Terrell, Matt, Kate.....the list goes on and on) OR to make them so unlikeable you are ready to shove them right out the door. (Ric, AJ) and now Jax. Yes, I know there are those of you out there that don't like him anyway but you have to admit the shoddy writing he's gotten is horrific lately. First he was gone forever even when Josslyn had cancer, and now he's like a vindictive little shrew. So..string him up on a meat hook and let him swing. Or, of course, the hooker/drug set up works as well. 

Write a Character off in 3.5 seconds. You know Skye comes, goes...Holly, Ric, Monica, Audrey-- just about any character gets a bad send off (or none at all). Nikolas talks to his brother, old lover and Dead Love Emily--but never even thinks about his sister, or his AUNT and her children. How long would that have taken? An hour of taping? 20 minutes? Hey, who cares he's only been on the show for a decade plus. 

Fires: We all know that Guza loves his pyrotechnics. I can't name ALL the fires but we know he's destroyed at least Luke's Blues Club, The Webber-Scorpio house, the old hospital set and now, the Spencer house. I personally think that's how he feels about GH of 'golden days" and those fans who held Luke and Laura dear, but heck, that's just me. Fire, bombs... the works. Thank you for yet another smoke filled afternoon!

Women in Fredrick's of Hollywood: (For those of you under a certain age, that means a little racier than Victoria's Secret). We got that this this past week or what! WOW! There's Lulu, parading around in an outfit that well...Sam usually gets blessed with.  She had a nice pink number (up there, backside even) and a lovely black and gray one.  Of course, women are to be used at sex objects so Lulu HAS to work "undercover" at some brothel to 'find her father'. Uh, sorry, we know this is just an excuse for the lingerie fetish.

Character Flip-Flop: Out of the blue, after not writing for a character for awhile... all of a sudden they appear and act totally the opposite. The latest? Alexis..who up until this moment has thought that Sonny and his gangstah ways is nothing but a unsafe murder-trap for she and her family. She also hates Carly with a passion. So now (in addition to wearing some really bad clothes) she's all of a sudden totally on Carly's side and willing to throw Jax under the bus. Uh...ok 

One Note-Villians: Well, we KNOW that This has taken over Guza's life for the past umpteen years.  Faison, The Balkan... Stavros..and even my beloved Helena are often reduced to little more than comic book characters.  I can't even remember that Russian guy's name that was on the boat. Our latest is Anthony Zacchara whom I LOVE but who is quickly becoming the same crazy-flower-loving dude that just won't quit. Helena better get some decent stuff under GW--her little "visit" with Lucky sounded like the other `1,000 visits she's had in the past. 

Terrorizing Children: You know and I know it...our fearless headwriter is in giddy LOVE with this. Yes, they do it on other soaps but none better than bullet in the head or run-em down G-man. The latest has been poor Alec who now only heard his Grandma in the line of fire but recently got a nice machine-gun salute of his in the same car.

Focus on ONE Character so much you could throw a fryin' pan at them. 'Nuff said


AND I don't know WHAT the hell to say to this...other than the ACCENTS he cooks up are just making me insane:

Enough Already 

SOOooooooooooo, coming soon, around July 25th, we are supposedly seeing our first "Guza-Free" scripts. Dare we hope they spend more on hospital consultants than bullets? Oh, yes...please. 


Scene of the Week: Sam and Maxie...loved Maxie telling her to basically shut up, get married and have a baby! LOL (slim pick'ins this week folks) 

See what pet you chose for Helena on the Wubs Net and vote in this week's fun poll: Bring a character over from another ABC Soap!! 

CyberSoaps: Not So Easy? LA Times Weighs In

Ah, yes..someone who's putting a bit of brakes on the parade! Just thought this was interesting because it highlights a lot of the questions we all have. I am also wondering when the shows would launch, like right away or will it take a while?  LA TIMES

Excerpt: On the surface, the news that soap operas "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" may find new life on the Web after ABC pulls the plug on them sounds like great news to fans of the genre.
But the economics of such a move wouldn't be easy. Soap operas have large casts, writing staffs, producers and lots of sets. In other words, they're not cheap. A soap can cost as much as $50 million a year to produce.
The announcement from Prospect Park -- an entertainment company whose partners include former Disney executive Rich Frank that has aspirations of creating a Web entertainment giant -- was very sparse on the details of how it would pull off moving the two soaps from broadcast television to the Internet.

It's FRIDAY and I HAD some CUERVO GOLD!!

hahahhaha!! :) Nice Lunch. Whew! Then I come home to the Skye news. Wonder if Edward is dying OR If it's the Ingo come-back that Wolf talked about. OR maybe she's back for good!

OMG OLTL is the BEST.  It's like a dang movie, I swear. I love it.  WOW... David and Dorian were so fun. And Gigi... with the Rex/Shane angst. Sniff. LOVED Roxy and "Freudenshockzna" LOL. Echo and she were great. Roxy said "Spewin' the Fat" I think Asa's ghost left Clint and went to Rex!! He's getting mean like Clint. Geesh. Todd is losing it.
I want Dorian to get Pregnant with David's kid and be the world's oldest Mama..or at least the US! LOL and come on Dorian would NEVER believe that David sheeze while living in Llanview!! 
"Turn around and talk about this like the adults other people expect us to be" says David to Dorian (who has a gun on him).
You know Roxy is going to 'trash' up that mansion! wwheeeeeeee! 
LOVE Tea and Blair! 


GENERAL HOSPITAL: Siobhan is knittin' ...Lucky was on with Cam and his own kid "Titus" who plays "Aiden". Great scene
Brenda and Sonny off to court! Interesting how their demise will come down to Carly and Jax. Ironically Pithy.  Blah, Blah...Blahhhh.
Kristina did call Sonny "sexist" which was fun. 
Steve giving Robin Chief of Staff over Patrick was hilarious. heh.

Matt's haircut is so terrible.ugh 

Raven is saying Tams is the New Kate...not the "NuOld Carly" Facebook. Which should piss off both the Kate fans and the fans that loved Tams as Carly! LOL 

BTW, word is JaSam wedding in August. 

**** I tweeted Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) about taking her machine gun with her on "The View" and got this back:


WubsNet they have a metal detector so no go--my words are bullets tho-pen mightier than sword

I LOVE TWITTER!!
