Maxie Jones: Selfless and Unpredictable

Maxie Jones has always been a favorite of mine. She is passionate about everything she does and is involved with. I admire this character for being true to herself even when others put her down. Even when she does crazy things, she acts out of passion and love.  Maxie goes to extremes for the people she cares about. She has made some bad decisions in order to reap benefits from certain situations and most of the time caused more harm than good. However, the most recent stunt of Maxie’s is completely selfless. She is pleading guilty to a crime she didn’t commit to save her “boyfriend” Matt from going to jail. Maxie doesn’t want Patrick and Emma to lose another loved one even though they love her as well. She is willing to sacrifice herself for the good of Matt, Patrick, and Emma. A few years ago I would never have thought the character of Maxie could do such a good deed. I believe Spinelli has taught her how to be genuine and love selflessly. Maxie has always loved her family, especially Robin, but I think Spinelli has had a lot to do with showing Maxie what love truly is and how to put yourself last when it comes to helping others. It’s great that Maxie has Spinelli to stand by her through anything, and right now she needs him the most. Hopefully this will ignite the flame for “Spixie” again and instead of a non-wedding, then can have a real one!

The GH Vets Are On Fire!

Nobody can deny that the last few months on General Hospital have been outstanding. Thanks to Ron Carlivati, Frank Valentini, and the decisions to bring back legends such as Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Heather Webber (Robin Mattson), although it was brief and hopefully he will return, Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), and the fan favorite Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner), who returns today! The audience loves nostalgia and familiarity and what better way then to bring back these General Hospital vets? I think the writing has been amazing and believe GH is on a long road to much more success. When Anna first came back before Robin “died,” I was so happy with her interactions with the ties she has in PC. Mac, Robert, Anna, and Luke are all something special and deliver so much to the history of General Hospital. I am looking forward to Felicia coming face to face with her past and seeing how it all unfolds with the people she cares about and how the bridges she has burned will effect the people of PC.

Are John McBain and Sam McCall Brother and Sister?

The GH audience is talking and tweeting about the possibility of John McBain and Sam McCall being brother and sister. They have this connection that she can’t put her finger on. We as the audience all now that it was back on Port Charles when they were vampires together. In my opinion, I highly doubt that will be brought to light on General Hospital, so I am assuming that if they keep up with this “connection” stuff, it will be family relation as opposed to romantic or anything else. Then will we finally find out who Sam’s Father is? GH fans are expressing these thoughts on Twitter. What do you think? Please leave a comment below!

Felicia Jones is Back in PC! Kristina Wagner Returns This Week!

Kristina Wagner returns to her role as Felicia Jones this week on General Hospital. Head writier at GH, Ron Carlivati, states that Felicia will be sticking around Port Charles for quite a while reuniting with family and friends and mending relationships that have gone south. Since the last time Felicia was in PC, she left her daughter Maxie, and Mac Scorpio filled with resentment towards her. Felicia is hoping to reach out to her loved ones and make things right. I am really excited to see Jen Lilley (Maxie) and Kristina Wagner (Felicia) working on this story together. Jen has already proved herself with her emotionally intense scenes after learning her cousin Robin Scorpio had died. Felicia Jones has always been a GH icon, and I cannot wait to see Kristina and Jen do their thing. I know that both women will give the audience all they’ve got and I am anxious to watch.

Frank Valentini Tweets About Brandon Barash NOT Leaving GH

The rumors about Brandon Barash (Johnny Zacchara) leaving General Hospital have been spreading around the Internet like wild fire. Today Frank Valentin tweeted to Brandon about this. From what I can see, if Frank Valentini doesn’t know about it, it’s most likely untrue. Thank goodness!

Spencer Love: Will Carly and Luke Ever Really Get Along?

These two have a lot of chemistry, not romantically, but on screen they have a certain dynamic that draws you in. I think it’s the fact they they are Spencers and both as actors and characters they know how to own it. Luke and Carly are always using each other for favors and constantly owing something to one another. They fight, they take each other for granted, but I have a feeling they actually do care about each other. On Monday’s episode a could see a little bit of how Luke really does care for his niece. He was so concerned about her falling in love with Johnny. Aww Uncle Luke cares! I love the way these two characters are written and I think Laura Wright and Anthony Geary do a fantastic job in displaying their relationship with each other. In the middle of all the using, bickering, and Spencer-like scheming, I would like to see Carly and Luke go through something together and help each other out just one time. If they could have a story line that really brings out the Spencer family values with these two unlikely true companions, I think it would be really enjoyable for the audience. If tragedy strikes, I want to know that Carly and Luke can pull each other through because they are family.

Is Dr. Ewen Keenan Really Jerry Jacks?

Rumor mills are buzzing and the there’s one that could cause quite a stir in Port Charles if i became true. Is Dr. Ewen Keenan really Jerry Jacks? Some say they are one in the same and Jerry had yet another plastic surgery to look different. Anything can happen is soaps as we all know, but I for one do not think this is true. Either 1) Jerry went to college to become a Doctir of psychology, or 2) He is posing as one and pulling off one hell of a job. Think back to Cassandra and the Cassadines. If he were Jerry, I don’t think he would have fallen into Helena’s trap, unless of course he was part of Helena’s plans. It just didn’t seem that way to me. Now Kate, he is legitimately trying to help her and I don’t’ think Jerry would do that. Dr. Keenan has had no contact with his old flame Alexis Davis. If he were really Jerry, I think he would make it a point to run into her. Those two had a thing, and he had a strong attraction to her. I doubt he would just let that go. So the rumor of Dr. Keenan and Jerry Jacks being one in the same is definitely circulating twitter and other sources, but nothing has been leaked or confirmed, and in my own personal opinion, I don’t think it’s true. We’ll see… 🙂

Forbes Magazine on ‘Francophrenia’ (Or, Don’t Kill Me, I Know Where the Baby Is.)

I came across another article about James Franco, his involvement with General Hospital, his experience on the soap opera, and the film premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, he created about it called ‘Francophrenia’ (Or, Don’t Kill Me, I know Where the Baby Is). Unfortunately, this article was not like others I have read in the past. As a fan of both General Hospital and James Franco, this article offended me. It’s almost as if it hurt my feelings, or that I felt hurt and betrayed for GH as a whole. The article goes about how James Franco wanted to bring the absurdity of soap operas to light. In my opinion, they are basically saying Franco only experimented with General Hospital to poke fun at the genre. My take on James Franco and his experience on GH was always the exact opposite, and frankly, to read this Forbes article, I was quite disappointed and let down. However, I have read so many other pieces of information that state Franco was happy to be part of GH and it was a learning experience for him. I have also learned that he credits those who work on soaps for their dedication, hard work, and memorization skills. Click here to read the Forbes article, “James Franco Tells His Side of the ‘General Hospital’ Story.” Feel free to leave a comment on the post and let me know what you think!
