Frank Valentini Questions General Hospital Rumors
There are always rumors circulating about what’s going to happen on GH… Who is the baby’s Father (or Mother in some cases)? Who killed who? Who is going to die? Will they get back together? You know how it goes. There is a lot of speculation and imagination that goes into such rumors. So Frank Valentini tweeted his concern. We all need to take into account that rumors are just that. There is no proof to any of it until it’s seen on screen or confirmed by officials.

Did You Miss the GH Segment on CNN This Morning?
This actually brought some tears of pride and happiness to my eyes as I watched this today. Proud to be a devoted fan, and happy that there is hope for the future. General Hospital has come along way since a the cancellation of AMC and OLTL. It is sad that some executives did not have the faith in soap operas that they do now, causing us to lose two amazing, American iconic soaps. But we cannot change the past, and we need to hold on to and be grateful for what we have. We also need to thank who is responsible, Frank Valentini, Ron Carlivati, and the ENTIRE cast of actors and crew for making our show as fabulous as it is, and of course we the FANS! For holding on, staying involved, and not giving up. I am so excited to share this with all the fans, so please click here to watch the CNN video segment on the BEST SOAP OPERA EVER, GENERAL HOSPITAL.
General Hospital Keeps Getting Better
Whether you love, despise, like, or could care less about some of the story lines on GH right now, no one can deny that General Hospital is at an outstanding high. There is so much excitement going on in Port Charles it is impossible to not be hooked. I totally understand the frustration of certain fan bases, because not all fans are going to be happy 100 percent of the time. But think about it, how would that even be possible? Right now, The Sonny and Brenda fans loathe the Sonny and Kate (SKate) pairing. The JaSam fans hate the fact that Liz is even breathing, and the baby switch story? Forget it! The writers are getting a lot of crap for a lot of things, but I really think it comes with the territory. Soap fans are dedicated and devoted, and basically throw their souls into the characters and couples they love most. No matter which story line is fueling your fire or feeding your passion for the show, we have to give credit to the writers and producers for keeping General Hospital and all it’s fans on the edges of their seats, and I am personally grateful for how the stories have been handled lately. In all the 20 years I have been watching this show, I have never witnessed such progression in the plots. For the first time, the stories aren’t being dragged on for decades. Take today’s episode for instance, Sam confronts Jason about the attack on McBain. In the past, this NEVER would have happened so fast. She would have hemmed and hawed, confided in someone else, Jason would have tried to hide it from Sam, someone would overhear something… so on and so forth. I LOVE the fact that they are just rolling right along, REALISTICALLY. I think that is what is keeping everyone on their toes. There is no down time. Even Heather tampering with the paternity, the big reveal that Jason is the daddy, didn’t take that long to come out. Sure we found out a few months ago that Franco was the baby’s Father, and we all speculated that Heather had something to do with it. But the truth came out fast and easy. It was enjoyable to watch Heather with the results directly, no beating around the bush, no guessing games. I really want to say how amazing Ron Carlivati and Frank Valentini and all the other cast and crew are making this show. The actors have been stellar and giving it their all. This is such a great time for General Hospital and we have the cast and crew to thank. Please keep supporting our show!

General Hospital Fans: Determined and Loyal
Soap opera fans have been known for their extreme loyalty to the genre and their specific favorite soap, characters, couples, and actors. In light of the recent cancellations of ABC Soaps All My Children and One Life to Love, we have been blessed with the renewal of the last ABC soap standing, General Hospital. Now more than ever, GH fans are going out on a limb to prove their loyalty to the show and all it entails to prove that this iconic show should be kept around for years to come. Fans are tweeting, blogging, watching, DVRing, and engaging in anything GH related, as much as they can. I came across a recent article in examiner.com written by Linda McCloud. This article states how GH fans are reaching out to it’s sponsors and letting them know that they appreciate their sponsorship and to show that appreciation, they are supporting the products advertised by the sponsors. I think it’s such a wonderful idea to give support which will come full circle. To check out the article in full, click here.
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.
Scott Sickles’ GH debut!
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!
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.
