Steve Burton gets emotional in an interview from abcglobal.com regarding his decision to exit General Hospital after 21 years.
Steve Burton QUITS General Hospital
I am in just a shock as EVERYONE else. I haven’t even finished reading the full article as I am typing this blog post. I am almost in tears actually. Thoughts are racing through my head such as, “What will happen to The Morgan’s? What about the baby? Jason Jr.? How will this end?” I am terribly heartbroken by this news. I honestly thought it was a sick joke when I briefly read the tweet. Not until I opened the article did I know it was true. I have to cut this post short and post a link for you all to click on because I can’t even write right now… Click here.
JaSam Baby Has Arrived!!!
Last week Samantha Morgan gave birth to her son! JaSam fans have been waiting many years for this to happen, and still hold out hope that the baby is not Franco’s and is indeed really Jason’s. There is still a lot of hope for Jason and Sam as a couple, they have been through so much, and so much has torn them apart. Jason and Sam have an undying love and I don’t think anything could keep them apart permanently. However, this last blip in their reconciliation, Jason ordering the attack on John, gets me a little nervous. When Sam finds out what Jason has done, it is uncertain if and when she could every forgive him. Not only did he order to have McBain (her friend who has helped her through many troubles), but John was going to get help for Sam and the baby, but Jason’s men slowed him down. Thus putting Sam and the baby in harms way yet again. Jason has not been acting like the Jason we know and love lately. He has always been stubborn but recently he has taken that to an entirely new level. Hopefully, with Sam being the amazing woman she is, she will be able to get passed what Jason has done to John.
General Hospital Saved. Are You a Fan or Foe?
Last week we were informed that ABC would be renewing the 49 year old soap opera General Hospital and would cancel the OLTL replacement show, The Revolution. As a soap fan I want to say that I am extremely grateful, excited, and optimistic. However, there are many people that claim to be General Hospital fans, and join Facebook pages and other ‘Save Our Soap’ type groups, yet they do nothing but complain about the show! Expressing their disgust on Twitter, Facebook, and other forums, these “fans” are hypocrites. What General Hospital needs right now is 100% loyalty and support from the FANS. REAL fans, not band wagon fans that only support the show when their favorite couple is together or when their favorite character has the lead. Of course there are things about the show that really get to me in a negative way. But I am wise enough to realize that I am not in control, and there is a much larger audience out there than myself. If I am not that interested in a story line, I focus on all the others that I do. If my favorite character isn’t front and center, I will wait it out until they are. The thing that would effect me the most would be my favorite couple getting the big ax. Right now things are looking gloomy for my favorite super couple JaSam (Jason Morgan and Sam McCall). Although they are being written in a way that is not to my preference, it doesn’t mean I am going to bash the show or quit watching. When it comes twists and turns and obstacles do I think enough is enough at times? Absolutely. I am at that point with JaSam. Jason should just be the Father, and Jason and Sam should be having this baby happily. (In my opinion of course). Throwing John McBain into the mix is fine with me. SO far I think Sam has not cheated on Jason as other fans are stating. She is simply confiding in someone when she doesn’t know how to handle the situation. Does McBain’s interference get me irritated enough to give up on JaSam? Nope. Just like the other aspects of GH that I may not be the fondest of will not make me give up on GH. As a long time General Hospital fan, I am proud to be a REAL fan all the time. So please, if you want to ‘Save Our Soaps’ quit tweeting all the negativity and show your support like a true fan should.
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!
James Franco: Francophrenia and General Hospital
With just one day away for the opening of the Tribeca Film Festival, I am just filled with excitement about the movie by James Franco, ‘Francophrenia’ (Or, Don’t Kill Me, I Know Where the Baby Is). Based on the TV character Franco (Robert Frank) from the ABC Daytime soap opera General Hospital, this movie is about the sociopath, serial killing, Jason Morgan (played by Steve Burton)-obsessed artist who now has turned out to be Jason’s twin brother! This film will lead the Tribeca Film Festival line up held April 18-29, 2012.
James Franco took on the role of Franco on GH to explore the worlds of acting and to prepare for another role which he would play a soap opera character. Franco explains his experience on GH as a learning experience, and experimental.
