Today is the day ex-OLTL script writer Scott Sickles debuts his General Hospital episode. He wrote for OLTL from 2009-2012, and since the cancellation of OLTL, he will now debut his first script for GH today. Congratulations to Sickles and to General Hospital! We look forward to seeing all the excitement and drama Port Charles and it’s residents have to offer!
Kristen Alderson: Starr Goes from OLTL to GH
First I have to start off by stating that I am still saddened by the cancellation of AMC and OLTL. Just as GH, I grew up watching AMC and OLTL with my Mother. That being said, I for one was really excited to hear that some of the OLTL actors would be crossing over and taking up residence in Port Charles. Some viewers have been having mixed emotions on the news of One Life to Love characters coming over to General Hospital. For me, it is definitely a plus. I don’t understand what would possibly be bad about these interjections. I mean, Port Charles gets new residents all the time anyways, so why not have some be familiar faces from other fictional towns? I watched Starr Manning grow up on OLTL and am happy to see her make such a splash on General Hospital. She is doing a fantastic job. Her first few days in PC were very emotional and Kristen Alderson brought it! I felt her pain almost as if it were real. And I say “almost” because let’s be honest, no TV show can compare to the very human, very real feeling of personal loss. But she definitely got us as close as it can get. Every Mother’s worst nightmare was played out in those scenes and Kristen really knew how to bring it home. As the weeks have been going on Starr is mingling her way through the people of PC and establishing some important personal as well as business relationships. I can’t wait to see where they will take this character in the near and distant future. I am liking her with Michael right now, but I am also open to other options. Matt maybe? Please feel free to leave a comment below and let us know what you think! Congrats Ms. Alderson, and welcome to GH. You are doing a stellar job!
Kristina Wagner Returns to GH as Felicia Jones
You’ve heard that Felicia Jones is coming back to Port Charles, and that the one and only Kristina Wagner, who originated the role in 1984, will be taking it on once again. I am excited to see this vet brought back to PC and for her to reunite with all of her long lost family and friends. What does this mean for everyone she left behind? Especially her daughter, Maxie. Should Maxie forgive her Mother for abandoning her when she needed her the most? Maybe Felicia will be the only one who will be able to get through to Maxie when it comes to he bogus murder confessions. I am interested to see how Mac, Luke, and Anna react to her return. You will first see Kristina Wagner aired on GH as Felicia Jones on April 27th, 2012.
Happy Birthday James Franco!
Happy Birthday to James Franco! Thank you for taking and interest and being a part of the legendary soap opera, General Hospital. It was a pleasuring seeing you on my screen. I thought Franco was intense, mysterious, and kept me coming back for more. Thanks again for your GH support! Happy Birthday!

Who is Attacking the Girls at Vaughn’s?
For the past few weeks, Lulu and Dante had been making it pretty clear that they think Delores Padilla’s husband, Eddie is responsible for the attacks on the Vaughn’s girls. Dante and Ronnie found evidence that points to him. But was that evidence planted? I really think it’s Ronnie Domestico! That guy has always been mixed up into some kind of shady business here and there and I think he is finally about to get caught. From falsifying evidence to keeping secrets about Franco, I think Ronnie will finally get what is coming to him. And who better to uncover the truth than his long time partner Dante? As of Friday’s episode 4/20/12, Lulu confided in Luke and expressed her thoughts about who she thinks is guilty. She told Luke she believes Ronnie, Dante’s long time friend and police partner is the real attacker. How will she break this news to Dante?
Happy Birthday Lisa LoCicero!
Happy Birthday to General Hospital’s Olivia Falconeri! We hope you have a fantastic birthday Lisa! May your TV family and friends along with your ‘real’ family and friends shower you with kindness and love! Enjoy your day!
Antonio Sabato Jr. back to GH as Jagger Cates?
How would you feel if Jagger came back? HOTNESS! I know I would love to see this happen. Jagger is where it all began for me. It all started when I was about 11 years old and my Mom and Sister watched GH everyday. My (older) sister was in LOVE with Jagger. We were all hooked. My favorite scenes were with Jagger Cates, Karen Wexler, and Jason Quartermaine (Morgan) on the island! Throw Brenda and Robin in the mix and it GH became my soap addiction. Form 1992-1995 Antonio Sabato Jr. graced Port Charles with his presence as Jagger Cates and in 2008 he made a brief return in the Soapnet GH spinoff, General Hospital: Night Shift. It was nice to have him in PC once again and it would be REALLY nice if they could make this happen for us again. Throught the years the Calvin Klein underwear model has been in many well known productions such as Melrose Place, Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Ally McBeal, and more. If you would love to see Antonio back on GH as Jagger then for the love of General Hospital do what the man asks and Retweet his tweet to Frank Valentini! Check it out below!

Sam is Carrying Franco’s Baby!
So now that we have all seen Sam open the DNA results in front of John McBain, and it showed that Franco was the baby’s Father, what will happen next? I am disappointed in this outcome but am taking it with a grain of salt because this is GH we are talking about here and well, Heather Webber is tangled up in this mess! Anything is possible and hopefully the results have been tampered with or there is some other reason that Franco is falsely named the Father instead of Jason. Sam will tell Jason the truth starting today and although I am looking forward to JaSam scenes, I am not to thrilled about the content of it all. I have been a JaSam fan from the beginning and wish for them to stay together. I understand that no soap couple has a happily ever after but some should, right? JaSam is perfect for that. I love their bond, I love their chemistry, the humor, the love and tears, it’s all so great… and of course the FACT that they are both so damn good looking! They make a great TV couple and I hope it stays that way. Let’s all keep tuning in and showing our JaSam/GH support!
GH News: Lindsey Morgan Cast as New Kristina Davis Corinthos!
As a fan of Lexi Ainsworth and her portrayal on Kristina, I don’t really agree with Kristina needing to look older or more mature. This isn’t specific to Kristina either. I just don’t feel that a character needs to be changed simply to age them. However, Lindsey Morgan looks a lot like Ainsworth, just older. I am worried she looks too close in age to Kelly Monaco (Sam). Sam is supposed to be Kristina’s older, wiser, more experienced sister and Lindsey Morgan (to play Kristina) looks more mature than Ainsworth which in my opinion may interfere with the fact that Sam is much older than her little sis. Grahn, Monaco, Ainsworth, and Pullos were perfect together and it’s always hard for me to get accustomed to change, but that’s just me. I do think that Ms. Morgan will end up pulling off a stellar Kristina just like other new actors have pulled off replacing other characters. It was hard for me when Tamara Braun left as Carly and Laura Wright eventually took over, and when Maxie was taken over by Jen. Needless to say these women took charge and made these roles their own and made me love them! Good luck to Lindsey Morgan, the GH and Kristina fans welcome her to the canvas.
