General Hospital’s 50th Anniversary 20/20 Special!

Kelly Monaco Tweeted today that she just finished being  interviewed for 20/20 for a special on General Hospital’s 50th anniversary. She used hashtags like #honored and #proud to describe how she felt about the experience. I am honestly moved to tears at how far this show has come. It’s really great to see the actors take pride in what they do, and value and love General Hospital as much as the fans. There isn’t any news on who else will be interviewed for the special, or when the special will be aired. I am assuming it will be coming up soon as we approach GH’s 50th on April 1st, 2013.

Michael Fairman Interviews Steve Burton

This Michael Fairman interview with Steve Burton is absolutely amazing. All the questions the fans have been asking since Steve left General Hospital have finally been answered. Many fans are disgruntled, confused, and even angry at what they THINK the facts are related to the entire situation. From Steve leaving GH to move to Tennessee, to then returning to soaps by joining The Young and The Restless, to the way Jason was written off; fans thought the worst of Steve and/or ABC. I sure hope ALL General Hospital and Steve Burton fans read this interview.
The rumors about Steve plotting to go to Y&R all along, or the executives at GH not offering Burton a compromise are untrue. Steve Burton also explains that Jason’s send off was due to lack of time. Time was running out and the writing team had to come up with something. It would be really great to stop reading such negativity from fans who think Steve was untruthful or that ABC just didn’t care enough to keep him. That is entirely not the case. In the interview, Michael asks Steve about the day he left. Steve explains how difficult it was emotionally and mentions that it was very hard on Maurice Benard (Sonny). This actually brought tears to my eyes. He also mentioned that it was very difficult leaving Kelly Monaco Sam), and that it is still weird not being able to see her everyday.
Michael Fairman also asked Steve if there were plans for Jason’s return to GH for the anniversary show. Steve Burton expressed that he would love to come back for the 50th, but since he is now on CBS he is not sure if that will be allowed. All this being out it the open, I hope fans and Steve Burton have closure now in regards to what really happened during and after the time of his exit. After all thins said and done, Steve did what was best for his family and his life.

Who is Sam Morgan’s Father?

We all have been wondering for YEARS who Alexis slept with that helped create the beautiful Samantha McCall Morgan. Recently this has become more of an open topic with actress Nancy Lee Grahn. She has playfully tweeted, naming a few possibilities, most recently John Stamos’ character Blackie Parrish. She also mentioned in an interview that she would like the Father to be  a character that is not currently on the canvas. I have a feeling this story will start to develop relatively soon.

General Hospital Spoilers: Vampires in Port Charles

Port Charles Vampires Kelly Monaco and Michael Easton Livvie Locke Caleb Morley Port Charles Vampires
Vampires in Port Charles Livvie and Caleb

Vampires? Honestly, as wild as it sounds for a daytime television Soap Opera, Vampires aren’t the strangest thing to happen on a daytime drama. From General Hospital’s weather machine to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) of Days Of Our Lives having been possessed by the devil, vampires became just another “only on Soaps” storyline.

ABC’s spin off of General Hospital, then you are probably very confused right now. Port Charles had ties to General Hospital with people like Karen Wexler, Lucy Coe, Kevin Collins, Scotty Baldwin, and some faces that surfaced on Port Charles who were known as Livvie Locke and Caleb Morley. Today we know them as Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) and John McBain (Michael Easton).

Moreover, GH news reports confirm that Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) is back in Port Charles. After years of being off the canvas, Lucy returns to find herself questioning her own memory. Ironically, Lucy remembers John McBain (Michael Easton) as a vampire named Caleb Morley, and Sam Morgan as Livvie Locke. When John McBain arrived in Port Charles he and Sam felt an unexplained connection. According to General Hospital spoilers, Sam and John may have found the they feel so connected. Could they have known each other in a past life?

Steve Burton’s Last Day at General Hospital

Yesterday September 27, 2012, was the last day of Steve Burton’s 21 year long career of playing GH’s Jason (Quartermaine) Morgan. All throughout the day, cast mates posted pictures, Tweeted, and posted Facebook messages showing their love and support for such a dear friend and asset to General Hospital. The entire cast wore black T shirts on Steve’s last day taping on the GH set in honor of Jason. Steve Burton is off to live in Tennessee with his family, something he has always wanted to do, and felt that now is the best time to fulfill that dream. As a fan, and like most of us, I do not know what comes next for Jason Morgan and all the ways he fit into the story lines. My heart breaks for JaSam and the fact that if Jason is written off, Sam will lose her soul mate in some way or another, Sonny, Spinelli, and Carly will lose their best friend. And who knows, that may be good for Liz, out of sight, out of mind, right? haha. Might be just what she needs to get over him. Here are some featured Tweets regarding Steve’s last day.

Jason and Sam Say Goodbye

After the heart breaking scenes of Jason and Sam’s breakup, fans were left with much disappointment and uncertainty. Kelly Monaco and Steve Burton really owned those scenes and made us believe and feel exactly what Sam and Jason Morgan were going through. It was probably the most realistic break up ever. Every word each of them said, the love they both still have, and the doubt in their hearts was all portrayed with precision and accuracy. I felt as if their characters were “real” people. I am watching the JaSam flashbacks as I am writing this, balling my eyes out. I have been a fan of this couple from day one, and I still have hope for them. JaSam are an iconic television couple who need to go down in history as such. I know that Jason and Sam have not seen their last day as friends and lovers. This is a rare love story that I have hope will live on and be talked about for ages. Please, if you are a JaSam fan, stop the hate and have faith. The writers aren’t breaking them up to piss off the fans, they are doing it because it is fiction, it is a show, and things change. That doesn’t mean that they won’t out them back together. This makes for amazing TV watching, and is the reason we fell in love with soaps. Also, with the pace of how things have been going, we may not have to wait as long as we think. Please view the scenes of the breakup posted below.
