After weeks of speculation and hype, Emmy nominated and Golden Globe winning movie star James Franco makes his much-anticipated debut on General Hospital as a mysterious artist/assassin set to mix it up with uber-hit man Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). READ MORE

Here’s the Scoop!

I was on a GH high last week and what always gets me about this show is that I feel like I come down too hard. I haven’t been feeling that high this week and in fact I see a lot of typical repetitive nonsense BUT I’m still hanging in there. I’m not jumping off the bandwagon just yet. Obviously, James Franco has me wondering and the addition of Scott Reeves as Steven Lars Webber has me giddy with expectations. One thing that is definitely keeping me hanging on… Dante/Dominic. Whatever you call him I’m saying Tom Pelphrey who? So much so that I almost gave my roommate a smack across the head when she declared her dislike for him the other day. READ MORE

TV Guide Magazine reports that Scott Reeves (Formerly Ryan on Y&R) has been snagged by General Hospital to play the recurring role of Steven Lars Webber. Steven heads to Port Charles in December as the newly appointed chief of staff and will be thrown in the middle of his sister Liz's love life drama. Reeves says,
 

I’ve always had a great respect for GH so I kinda courted them. It was the one show I most wanted to be on. Steve Burton [who plays mobster Jason Morgan] and I are best friends – we’re literally like brothers – and I just love the people over there. My agent put out feelers and [GH casting director] Mark Teschner called back. They had a role. The timing was perfect.

What a way to kick off October! James Franco as the newest PC resident, Sarah Brown leaves GH for B&B and Jonathan Jackson is returning as Lucky Spencer.

After the news of Greg Vaughan's departure from General Hospital hit the web, some of his now former castmates took to their Twitters.

Steve Burton: God bless Greg V and his family. Sucks! He will be missed.

Tyler Christopher: Everyone give GV your blessings please. He gave Lucky justice while he was there.

Derk Cheetwood: Our thoughts are with Greg V and family he will be missed by all.

Nancy Lee Grahn: Heartbroken about Greg. However, this is a guy who worked constantly before GH & will continue to do the same after GH. He is an amazing gentleman, a dedicated father, a committed and talented actor who is loved and adored by his cast. He will be fine!

Sarah Brown: I'm so sad & sorry to hear this. I know you're going to do great wherever you go. My love to you and your family always

Brandon Barash: deeply saddened by this news. Not gonna be the same w/o u next door. ur star will shine wherever it lands.

Lisa LoCicero: Greg, you'll do great wherever you go.. But I will miss your smiling face terribly READ MORE

General Hospital titan Steve Burton kept it real when I asked his thoughts on Twitter about Guiding Light's demise. Burton said,

Sucks for daytime and people losing jobs...not cool.
 

Chapter!  

Today's episode of General Hospital was an evil manipulation of Liason fan's emotions. Jason (Steve Burton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) may be cute, and I'm willing to admit they have chemistry, but they shouldn't be the endgame.
 
When Jason spotted Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Jake together, the look of pain from being separated from them which flashed across his face was proof positive that Sam is nothing more than a romantic crutch he'll hobble along on until the day comes–be it ever so distant– when he reunites with Elizabeth and his son.

Here you go JaSam fans, enjoy! More images of Jason (Steve Burton) and Sam's (Kelly Monaco) sex scenes. For those Liason fans more concened about seeing Steve Burton shirtless, there are some of those too. READ MORE

Last week I posted the JaSam sex promo. If the final scenes of today's General Hospital are any indication, it looks as if JaSam fans are going to be very, very happy tomorrow. READ MORE
