FRANCO Fevah!! James Franco on today's General Hospital!!

ANOTHER PIC OF Alberta and Franco

Cause that's how WE ROLL!!

I even tuned into The View to see FrancoFrenia... and my Whoopi is there!! He was as charming as always. We are getting so much PR on this!! What the heck!! They showed a Maxie and Franco clip where he gives her roses. Joy really buttered him up. LOL He said he was doing GH for research at first-- for a movie. He even said that Judd Apatow is a fan of the soap!! He was very gracious and if you didn't see it, look it up on YouTube! James also said that he taped over 3 days for 20 days of viewing. Good ol' block taping!! He said that the experience helped him get 130 Hours with Danny Boyle. Nice Interview.

Today is the day! After inviting so many fans to the remote shoot at the art gallery, I do have a respect for the writers and producers. (don't faint) Involving fans is so great. We deserve it!! Most loyal, most charitable..most "hanging in there for YEARS/DECADES"...
Franco's MOM is named  KAREN!! I feel so connected. LOL.  (let me dream, will ya??) I'm way to young to play his mama but they could have picked me! @@
You have to see Funny or Die with Franco doing Justin Bobby from The Hills. Yes, I watch and I've even seen the Episode they are doing a parody of!! He's perfect!! LOL
Have you read my EXCLUSIVE Spoilers about the Brenda Franco connection?? One story isn't going to happen like we thought!! Things will unfold very...er...Guza-like. Getting the Gelato cart out for "Italy"...IF they do the Skye/Money story that is. Hmmmm.


Luke's off on his vaykay!! bye!! I'm going to be leaving too for about 10 days. GEDSTERN (@laurahinds) will be taking over for me!! Give the Geddy your WUB

FRANCO'S first SCENE is with DIANE!! woot!! (although I don't think she would have stopped to talk to a homeless man, but that's besided the point!!) he's got his wind up MONKEY!! Diane gives him gum. This is already 100x better than the first guest stint he had. BTW, NLG was due to be in that scene but couldn't so they put Diane in. Wubs Crackie (insider) told me that!
Spinelli was so happy Jason was out, he cleaned up the PH! LOL..how funny. And he told Sam she could "Stay"!!  Loved his Jason daydream!!!
Geesh, Luke's goodbyes sounded like a REAL goodbye!! He never does that. Oh well, I guess since he's gone until Sept. it is longer than usual. And he really didn't want to see Tracy, he took 10million of her dollars!!
NEW HARBOR VIEW TOWERS exterior!!
"I'm a little groggy....reminds me of the '60's"-- hahah. Shirley. Mushrooms. Ahhhhhhh I wonder why they couldn't have made her Audrey's sister? Or have some ties to Port Charles to weave into all this. MUST I DO ALL THE THINKING??!! Guza! wake up! LOL

No "Mad World" today-- what happened?? Cost too much now? LOL.

Here's a nice thank you from Project Precious Life-- our charity from last month. This was a baby shower for Annie Wershing. (Former GH actress Amelia /24). It was a giant success!! The Wubs Net sent a Lobster Book for baby!! Everything was donated to a shelter in LA.

NEW INTERVIEW up with FLAT MEGAN and Megan Ward today!! It's a fun interview with a great fan idea that has "FM" traveling all over the USofA

Daytime Emmy Score well in the ratings-- MARCIL signs for two years!

Lexi and Nathan

First of all, go to the slide show on SOD and see more red carpet photos. Early results show that the Emmys won their timeslot and was WAY WAY up from last year when it was on the CW. Up 83% according to TV By the Numbers.

In other news, Nelson Branco of Canada's TV GUIDE is saying that the rumors are going around again that OLTL may be canceled. SO WATCH!! It is such a great show...and the last one left in NYC. He also reports that Vanessa Marcil signed to GH FOR TWO YEARS!

Line of the Day:  (on OLTL) David to Matthew: "We're brothers, you have to watch out for me while I watch out for myself"!! LOL. Do you think Vickers has his own writer? This show had better NOT be canceled. I so love it.

GENERAL HOSPITAL TODAY:  Luke was so good with Sonny!! Telling him about Rivera! HEH  It's a LukeSonRita day for all you vet Wubbers!! Oh for the days when they were on all the time. *sigh*

And who the hell does Kristina think she is!!????? Going in runining my Jolivia scene!!  It was pretty hysterical the way they have her talk/act. She's doing such a great BRATTY acting job. She's gotten better and better. And BTW, Johnny would never think that about Olivia.

This Dante/Jason thing is hilarious. Like I said, trying to be Eddy Murphy and Nick Nolte.
Still hating Lisa. Anyone like her?? Wait until she sleeps with Patrick! EEK!

Talked to Michael Park's Mama today..she is over the MOON with his win!! It's big news in this here neck o' the woods! He's our big celeb. She also mentioned how great all his fans are.

HOLLYWOOD PATROL: SANDRA BULLOCK'S divorced was finalized .  Glad it was quick. I hope she finds happiness with her new boy-- you know she will!!

Sonya Eddy is on Twitter!

She's finally on so HATERS move aside!! Follow her on @TheRealSonyaE . Why people have to imitate other peeps is beyond me. Characters, I can get..it's funny, but not real actors. JUST sayin'!! Here's a list of GH Peeps on Twitter.

It's Tuesday How's Your Soap Going??

I don't know how you are feeling but I'm just bored to tears with GH lately and hope that Franco can inject some excitement for me. Hell, anything would be good at this point! LOL

I liked Kirsten A singing on One Life to Live. Nice.

GENERAL HOSPITAL:   OMG, HATE this Lisa and Patrick stuff.
I told Nancy Lee Grahn my newest idea is to have Kristina get a "Johnny 4ever" tattoo across her back. HEH..can you imagine? I would LOVE to write for Krissy. I'd go nuts.
Lucky and Sonny...remember then? Nice. I really love JJ and MB together. Just sayin' I got a little nostalgic there.
LULU is on my LAST nerve today. I don't usually get sick of her but I so wanted Livvy to kick her into the dang water. ugh.
I also like the Shirley story. She could have been on more, and more consistently but I'll take it. It's in the hospital, a nice arc and I'd like them to do more of that type of story. Not as a back burner filler either. Kind of like St. Elsewhere stuff.
Yeah for some more Luke as a roomie scenes. Monte Carlo Con: Code for 'I'm going on vacation until the fall' ...
Maxie's hair is just driving me insane as are her clothes lately. It's like she's trying to live in Milan or in a Katy Perry video.
So, WTH are they doing having Kate come out once a month to go to Jake's?? GOD! Crimson could be such a good story about the fashion industry. ;/  MAN. Her laying into Olivia was interesting!! WOW..Olivia calls her snot face. CAT FIGHT! heh

Happy Town Fans: The 7th and 8th episodes of HAPPY TOWN reportedly will be on ABC.com/happytown TONIGHT! This was tweeted by ABC's Happy Town account. I really am mad that this show got taken off air for stupid sheeze like "WipeOut"..ugh!!

Who is watching "You're Cut Off?? (VH1) GOOD LORD!! Is it real...I mean, do you think those girlies are really that stupid/clueless/bitchy?? I want to send Chrissy and Gia to a refugee camp somewhere! Entertaining though. Summer TV usually is!

37th Annual Daytime Emmys--Red Carpet Photos and More

MY BEST DRESSED! Lisa VAVOOM LoCicero!!

GORGE!!

Bree Williamson looking fab on the red carpet. (wire image)

Eden wearing the same color!

LaLucci Looking Lovely!

I've decided I can never go interview these ladies on the carpet because I'd look like a HOUSE next to them! LOL...Even Bree who is PG! Everyone has been saying how tiny they are. I guess size 0 is the new 8!!

Well, the "Red Carpet" that was supposed to stream tonight on the net was full of techinical problems. Not SON's fault, it was their first time.  PLUS, at least they TRIED! I still think SoapNet and Disney should be ashamed. Daytime fans are the most loyal out there.

Lisa LoCicero says she's seated next to Nathan Parsons at the show! Hmmm, interesting combo!

Goodness...David Copperfield starts the show... interesting. hmmm. I'm glad Regis is hosting, he's a good choice. I saw Bradford and Scott Clifton in the audience. My fave boys.
BOO, Carolyn Hennesy lost to Julie Pinson For Outstanding Supporting Actress. Wahhh. I so wanted Carolyn to win, dang it. She is the best thing on Daytime, imo.
Was there enough for DICK CLARK?? I guess so..at least Ryan Seacrest showed up. He always gets ratings?? Or the oldies tuned in for all the 50s people. They could have had a whole show just for Dick Clark, btw. Wubber Lisa's son said Cher looks like Lady Gaga!! LOL.
THE LION KING? uh...ok. I thought I was watching the TONYS!

Supporting Actor went to: Billy Miller of Y&R-- the ONLY person I don't know!! LOL People said though: Billy Miller: IS AMAZING as Billy Abbott RT @Lautnerfan94: @WubsNet He deserved it! Trust me...he was amazing on Y&R! I really thought JJ would get it, wanted BA to get it or RPG. Oh well.

BLUE MAN GROUP? OMG, Who knows about the mummenschanz???? They scared the SHEEZE out of me when I was a kid. WPIX NYC had commericals on for them. I can't even believe I'm talking about them during the EMMYS but that was the entertainment. *sigh*

Drew Tyler Bell won best younger actor B&B --damn it for Drew and Scott Clifton. I so wanted either one of those to win. Here's a comment for that: from @Buzzworthyradio:  umm...i have no words

Outstanding younger actress: JULIE MARIE BERMAN!! Her speech was so nice-- thanking all the actors.  I want to see her dress again,  not sure I "got it".  LOL some loved it, some hated it on twitter.

Nice tribute to ATWT. Will be missed. I watched it with my Mom back when. Michael Park's mom is a friend and I so hope he goes to another soap--I would love for him to be on OLTL!

BEST DIRECTING TEAM: General Hospital they submitted the Carnival eppy. It was a great thing to watch-- tons of fun and a locale shoot.

BEST WRITING TEAM: Bold and Beautiful. Now, GH wasn't even nominated. And the show that SHOULD have won, OLTL, wasn't nominated either..

BEST ACTOR: MICHAEL PARK..mentioned CANANDAIGUA!!!!!! wow!!! And his mom  Rosemary and I watched his very first day on the show. HOW WONDERFUL!

BEST ACTRESS MAURA WEST: She did such a CUTE thing with her daughter!! awww. I'm so happy for them.
BEST DRAMA: BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL


Vanessa Marcil's dress was underwhelming, just sayin'.

TWEETS:

This was a fun tweet:  @Soap_Dude If Chuck Pratt wins an emmy, I hope they stab him with it. Just saying.
Another: SoapOperaSource These acceptance speeches get longer than the ATWT tribute. Unacceptable. #ATWT #DaytimeEmmys
MrsGoose1 @WubsNet tweeting from my iPad with the wubqueen while watching the Emmys is AWESOME
LisaLoCicero (from her seat): No one mentions that Agnes also created Loving!

Melissa Archer--Worst Dressed.

Rebecca Budding. LOVED the Funky look!! Loved!

PEOPLE noticed Vanny Marcil's new last name...not sure if she's married or not. I googled it and nothin'. Someone said she's married to: Carmine Giovinazzo. Will check on that!

GOODNIGHT! I was in twitter jail for the end of the show...LOL. "Over the limit"!!

Daytime Emmy Podcast and Red Carpet info...

Carolyn Hennesy Shines on the Red Carpet

The Podcast is up on Daytime Confidential. Jamey was sleepy but coming in from Vegas to dish about the fun that was last night's gifting party!! It's the show that is dated today. I only commented on the ABC stuff so my mouth is running as much as usual. Heh. I love those guys, we have so much fun.

If you are trying to find the Ustream of the Red Carpet tonight, good luck. Soap Opera Network is trying to bring us live coverage but it's overloaded. Keep trying the link.
This points to stupid Soap Net NOT SHOWING any Red Carpet of it's own damn stars. I know they are going off the air but if CBS can broadcast it live, they could have given an hour to the carpet. Idiots.:throws up hands:

ON a Good note: Giant kudos to Jim Romanovich, the man that got the Daytime Emmys produced. Without him we would have nothing.

From the 37th Annual Creative Arts Technical Emmy Awards , Here's a photo of Sarah Joy Brown and Jill Farren Phelps. See all photos and  list of winners on DC.

Full blog after the show!!

Sunday Surgery: General Hospital Ratings/Questions and Emmy Broadcast!

It's EMMY DAY!

That's right! Tonight are the Emmys! I will be on Twitter from 7pm on out to dish about the Red Carpet show (On SoapOperaNetwork.com) . Find me on @wubsnet. If you tweet, please use #daytimeemmys as your tag so we can timeline each other.  I will also try to fit in #GH on there too.

People have been arriving in Vegas all night-- many pics are up all over twitter! Alberta Wubs (my lobster) even went to a party for all the stars!! Photos will be coming soon. GH cast members up for awards are: Sarah Brown, Carolyn Hennesy, Jonathan Jackson, Julie Marie Berman, Drew Garret  and Bradford Anderson. Interesting that two (Drew, Sarah) are no longer on the show. Much excitement about the whole event...a lot of fans are there as well. I think Vegas was a great venue for this. Happy Place, Party-Friendly and many hotels for all to stay at. I wish I would have gone. I think there will be a ton of great stories to come out of this celebration!

On another note, I asked a question yesterday about Vanessa Marcil's return. I wondered if people thought her return would help the sinking ratings. Here are a few of the responses I got:

Maybe for a little while. I think it depends on how it plays out. Personally, I am totally looking forward to #Franco ! LOL-- strebekah

No! They just need to get off gangster stuff it turned into crime drama instead of a soap n I've been watching 30yrs!-- justmema

No. Too late. RT @WubsNet: Question of the Day: Do you think Vanessa Marcil's return will help the sinking ratings? #GH why/why not?-- NYcovergirl
WubsNet I think there will be a nice boost in the ratings. Whether it is sustained or not depends on if the stories are better than now .@jflowlu

No Marcil won't improve ratings. They need some decent writing.-- mamccw

Yes. So many of her fans tuned out when she left. They'll tune back in to see her again. Now for holding them, story must be good.--SonnyandBrenda
Don't think Vanessa's return will bring any viewers back unless writing improves #GH-- nygal33
I hope the ratings go up! What would the networks put on during those times that would actually be better ratings? Nothing!-- kristbhotctt
No Vanessa will not create more long time viewers because we want Quality writing for the stars who stayed not stunt casting!-- @Belinda
 
Her return will cause a temporary spike at the start. If she has a crappy story, the numbers will fall--telebuddy
 
So, there you have it. Some say yes..most say  IF THE WRITING IS GOOD--then we'll see a better turn out.  I think her return will help ratings in the short run, then it's all up to the stories. A lot of people have left GH--many, many more since Vanessa went years ago. Will they come back? Not sure. It will be interesting, that's for dang sure. I'm waiting to see if the Franco-stunt will bring in numbers. It didn't last time. Not even close. At least GH is getting huge press from it all. 

I am doing a podcast today with Daytime Confidential !! It will be up later in the week.

PS. How much have you loved all the Alberta photos?! Wonderful or what!?
