Sounds interesting

James Franco headed to GH!Best known for his role in the three Spiderman movies as the hero's "airboarding" best friend and sometime nemisis, Franco has agreed to guest star on GH later this fall. The recurring role will begin Nov. 20

Quote:Claudia, Claudia, Claudia

Thats what they do. They give our fast forward finger a nice little break where we actually don't use for a whole episode or two and then BAM......time to give it a nice little workout again.

Rachel Ames aka Audrey Webber is set to come out of retirement to help her granddaughter Elizabeth out of jam. Is the jam Helena created? Was that the big return? No, Audrey has been living off camera ever since Ames retired. It

**Johnny and Coleman take Carly to the hospital **Helena warns Lucky ** **Johnny and Olivia start to see each other on the sly **DOMte tells Jax to back off **Sam and Jason get trapped in a basement **Alexis thinks Helena may be telling the truth **Krissy confides a big secret to Michael **Alexis secret about her past is painful

I love the idea of Genie coming back, but I don't want her back if they are going to ruin Laura.

In Guza's hands...Laura will be ruined...foregone conclusion.Look what he did to Luke. Luke cheat on Laura indeed.....

Do you think that Valentin may have been the one who impregnated Alexis? That would be pretty sick & twisted, but it would make sense if Alexis was also Mikos' bastard child but she was accepted into the family whereas Valentin was not.

Johnny works Olivia

I thought he was Nic's age. I remember the actor was on AMC years ago as a teen. I could be wrong...

Alls I want to know is when is Claudia's azz getting bumped off?

Not soon enough for me, either. She is so over the top with her arrogance and her big mouth. She keeps threatening to tell secrets that will only hurt her in the long run and her own secret is a real doozy. I loved it when Jason started setting her up about Ian's supposed taped conversations. Let's see what she does with that.It was truly creepy yesterday when she told John that what he felt for Olivia was an infatuation and Claudia loved John and he loved her and she was the only one that he could ever love. Besides being weird, I guess it's alright for her to have a life (being married to Sonny), but not Johnny.I also find it repulsive when she starts kissing Dante. I'm glad he's at least smart enough to know why she wants to sleep with him. I just hope that he doesn't do it.

Destiny I asked the same question last night while watching.
She has a new show waiting..I hope its soon.

I think it is going to be during November sweeps that Claudia is going to be leaving. Sarah Brown has already started filming for The Bold and the Beautiful. I believe she starts airing there the day after Claudia leaves (however she leaves). Also, I saw on her twitter page she went back to the light brown hair color for her new role.

It has already been established that Valentin is going to be Alexis's brother. As for Valentin Knocking Alexis up, I think he is younger than her, at least the the actor is.But the family tree is dark in shadows...so Sam is probably a pure-bred Cassadine, and Maybe Mikkos is her daddy...or Stavros, or Andros, or Cosmos, or Tony.

I thought Mikkos was Sam grandfather??

Mikkos would be Sam's grandfather.Yesterday's show was obviously haircut day in the H&M room at GH. Not only did Jason and Maxie wind up with haircuts, but Elizabeth and Rebecca got theirs colored. And I should've known Jasam was going to get busted for solicitaion/prostetution - that was the most covered up I've ever seen Sam! All she was bareing was a shoulder or part of her collar bone so of course she was going to be mistaken for a hooker. When she's running around in tube tops and tank tops, nobody thinks anything of it!

November Sweeps PreviewLiz will remain torn between Lucky and Nikolas, two men that offer very different things. Liz and Nikolas will feel lots of guilt after they betray Lucky, but neither of them is strong enough to stay away. Luke plays an important role after he finds out what's been going on between Liz and Nikolas.Claudia disappears suddenly, which has a ripple effect on the canvas. Johnny channels a bit of his Zacchara side, which has major consequences for his romance with Olivia. Dante does everything he can to bring down Sonny, but he may never get the opportunity when everyone learns his true identity!Carly and Jax have a long road ahead of them in repairing their damaged marriage. Michael shows more signs of following in his daddy's footsteps, which worries both Sonny and Jason. A madman witnesses everything that happens on the fateful night Claudia takes Carly hostage. Kristina continues in her abusive relationship with Kiefer, while hiding the truth about his terrible behavior from her family and friends. Sonny and Alexis will play a major role in this story once the truth comes out. Dante and Lulu grow much closer after they experience a life-and-death situation together. Lulu is torn by her feelings for him and her loyalty to Sonny.Robin and Patrick remain happy and committed to each other. However, when Patrick's college girlfriend moves to Port Charles, insecurities about their relationship will bubble to the forefront.And...James Franco!Lesley Webber shows up!Nikolas shuttles Helena away to Switzerland.Claudia makes a positive impression on Sonny.Jason hits the jackpot.Olivia winds up in Johnny's arms after being summoned by Anthony for a disturbing visit.Olivia nearly tells Sonny the truth about his son and his blackmailing, hitman-hiring wifebut Sonny interrupts her to insist that she stop badmouthing Claudia. Michael alsodefends his stepmom, after which Olivia that decides she should keep her mouth shut. Dante tells Lulu the truth.Sonny rips Claudia to shreds after Jason drops his bombshell.Claudia makes a desperate move.Kiefer may pay for his abuse of Kristina with his life.Like father, like son?Patrick has a secret.Jax moves into Metro Court (but not for long.)Jane Jacks returns to Port Charles on November 9th.Dante reminds Robin of Sonny.Carly has a very negative reaction to Jax's secrets,Sonny gets in the middle of it.Alexis and Sam will join forces again when Kristina gets in over he head.

Remember how evil Mikkos was....he could also be Sam's father. Alexis alluded to how bad it was for her growing up....is that the story?

I don't know how evil Mikkos was - that was before my time. I thought it was Helena that made Alexis' life hell, maybe Stavros too.

As long as Elizabeth stays out of it I'm good to go I wub me some Elizabeth/Alexis on screen together same said for Olivia/Elizabeth scenes...but I don't want either in another hijacked storyline. Elizabeth (and Alexis) needs to power out to the end in her story and if she is attached to Nikolas in anyway re: Alexis in a Valentin storyline she will again be marginalized in story when the pets come in to take it over...That is what happens with my favs they rarely stay in "their storyline" from beginning - middle to end its always taken over and they are nowhere to be found.

Anyone remember Cynthia Preston from GH? I just saw her in a funny, indie comedy called "Nanny Insanity." I couldn't believe it - she hasn't aged a bit, and it was great to see her in a comedy!! And Alla Korot is in it too (AMC). You can rent it on Netflix or buy it online. Fun little flick.

I LOVED Cynthia Preston...and Faith Roscoe....I think Alla Karot was on of the Cassies on OLTL, actually. i might be wrong...

I loved Cynthia Watros on GL! She played crazy Annie(?)! Her wedding to Josh in front of the carousel in the barn.......good memories.

Michael puts Johnny on notice about Claudia and that hit

"Yesterday's show was obviously haircut day in the H&M room at GH. Not only did Jason and Maxie wind up with haircuts, but Elizabeth and Rebecca got theirs colored."I wish they had done something about that mop on Domte's head. He would be so much cuter with a haircut.

Dante is fine no matter which way his hair is going. JMO

Quote:Dante is fine no matter which way his hair is going. JMO Echo that, girlfriend!....LOLI wouldn't mind being the spatula that spreads the icing on his cake!

Oh Domte is cute the new french guy on brothers and sisters reminds me of domte. I was just thinking of the eyes when i watched him Sunday.

Rumorville: The latest buzz is that Franco is playing a childhood friend of Dante's. Franco's father was a detective, who Dante apparently saw as his own father figure.Dante's friend is now coming after Jason because he believes (perhaps rightly so) thatJason was responsible for the death of his father. Believe it...or not...Paging Dr. Webber!Scott Reeves is joining the cast of General Hospital. Scott will play Liz's (half) older brother, Steven Lars Webber. He arrives in December as the new chief of staff of General Hospital. Reeves is best known for his 10 year stint as Ryan McNeil on The Young and the Restless, and as a country music artist.According to T.V. Guide, he will be thrown into a storyline involving Liz, Lucky, and Nikolas. The role is said to be recurring. Scott explains that,

Awesome, I love Scott Reeves!

This is great news. I lover the Webber clan...now if Heather would come back that would be cool too.

So I read that Sonny exposes Carlaudia at her birthday party, Carly overhears, goes into labor and Carlaudia kidnaps Carly to escape. I would totally love it if we had a stolen baby story!!! Carlaudia delivers Carly's baby, steals it and leaves Carly to die. Jason, Jax and Sonny find Carly but Carlaudia and child are never found! This could lead to the break-up of Carly and Jax, and the possible reunion of Sanny & Carly. Carlaudia raises the baby as her own child and Baby Girl Jax comes back someday SORAS'd, preferably as a Christmas miracle!

Don't like that idea at all. This isn't Sonny and Carly's baby, it's Jax and Carly's and he finally deserves to have a child of his own. Whether he and Carly split over this situation, is a whole different ballgame, but the baby shouldn't be a pawn in this. Even if Carly and Jax split, it's looking more like Sonny will be hot on Olivia's trail once Claudia is gone. I'm also thinking that if Claudia takes off with Carly's baby, Carly won't be too happy with Sonny because she'll blame him for not taking Claudia out sooner. Let's not forget that Sonny, Jason and Jax were all part of keeping the information from Carly until the baby was born and the final proof only turned up Friday.

People - soap characters or real humans - aren't really being rational when they steal someone else's baby.Baby switching is fairly typical in Soapland. A stolen baby story is more rare but the baby is usually recovered in a couple of months. I'm thinking the baby is never recovered - until the teenage group needs to be revitalized or something at which point bring her back and have her "discover" her true identity (much like the original Carly did when she first came to town to seek out her birth mother Botox Bobby).It's probably not fair to do that to Jax, but then I'm not liking the character/actor. Everybody will blame Sonny, cause he wouldn't listen to anybody's warnings about Claudia. Sonny would be overcome with guilt {play manic-depressive card}. Olivia would take pity on him, blah blah blah, try to nurse him back to sanity.......Actually, Sonny having a mental break-down and being locked up at Shadybrook or it's friend whatever-the-other-institution's-name-is, and the viewers getting a break from such a mob-centric storyline could be a good thing!

If Claudia steals Jax's baby I want someone to kill her. Anyone micheal , jason, sonny, carly , jax his mom, anyone. i dont care who.

I hope they don'ty do another baby napped story, it's so...over used. JUst have the dang baby let her be healthy & in 3 years be a teenager.

I totally agree, mygoodness. NO MORE BABY SWITCHES!! Besides, whether you love her or hate her, Carly just had a year & a half of hell with Michael's coma & the after affects of the surgery. She more than paid for what she did to Bobbie. Let them just kill Claudia or have her slink out of town & fake her death. Then, get on with the story.

Have Claudia disappear, presumed dead, and shown later pregnant, after having a celebratory night with Sonny on the plane or something. I know, I know Sonny doesn't need any more kids, but it would at least give future story possibilities, should SJB ever want to return. Though with the way they have written Claudia, why would she?

Just the thought of that kind of storyline is a nightmare. Besides, won't Claudia be biting the dust fairly soon?

Nikolas and Liz give in to their feelings.Claudia disappears.Olivia tries to ease Jax's guilt.Carly reunites with Jax.Sonny and Anthony Zacchara appear to come to an agreement.Johnny jumps to the wrong conclusion about Sonny. Lulu confronts Dante with the truth.Michael proves that he is very much his father

Not happy about Claudia helping deliever a baby..if it's Carly's.I look forward to the yearly fight at the Q's for Thanksgiving pizza.

If it is Carly's she better remember that Carly saved her sorry a** from the accident. But, unfortunately I am tedning to lead toward some of ya'll's speculation of a baby steal. Clusida is just crazy enough to do it and not even think anything is wrong with it. Which is unfortunate for Jax. I hate that they are trying to break up Carly and Jax. I like them togethr, but honestly not since Jax found out th etruth about the shooting. His lies have made him slimy. I have always loved Jax, but not right now.

Jax is not the only one that has been keeping the Jerry/Claudia secret. Sonny and Jason have known about this almost since the beginning and the three of them decided not to stress Carly out until she had the baby. Jax should not have to take the fall as the only bad guy with this secret.
