Gossip for the week of 08-Aug-2011
by Carol Banks Weber
Apparently Daytime Confidential and Soap Opera Digest mistakenly went ahead passing on news that proved false about Prospect Park picking up GH along with AMC and OLTL for an online deal. There is no such deal that includes GH. Yet.
Both Genie Francis (Laura) and Tamara Braun (?) return to GH soon to play out their roles. Brauns role isnt certain, and many are insisting its not to take Laura Wrights (Carly) away at all. RavenBeauty spoke on these two rumors in her July 30th update and earlier on in her Facebook group. Braun may be the Lady in White, and it may be (based on many of our guesses and the juxtaposition of the Cassadine mention in RBs spumors) related to more cloning experimentation on the part of Helena. RB: A shocking secret emerges that will rattle all of Port Charles. Another treat courtesy of the Cassadines?
Other RB spumors include: **the appearance of a new Cassadine darker with age This story will bring things to a head, and tie into other major stories, and a major veteran actor or actress will still exit by September. Heres one for JaSam fans. Jason and Sam fans are going to be furious, but there is a silver lining (it's all a dream). Jason and Sam will prevail. If its JaSam as the EndGame, its L&L2 as well, according to RB. Before L&L2 can be together again, they must fight battles of a lifetime (Siobhan will be dead, so shes not a factor) and of course the Cassadines play a big role.
**
Read what RavenBeauty actually says in her July 30, 2011 update.
In an August 4, 2011 Silas Kain blog talk radio show (101:38) RavenBeauty confirmed based on what she knows GH will see its cancellation as scheduled and will go to Prospect Park (along with AMC and OLTL). TPTB did not announce GHs cancellation when it announced Katie Courics new talk show (a few weeks ago) to debut September 2012 in GHs time slot, because they didnt want soap fans to hate Couric or taint her debut (like we did with the Chew and the Revolution). But its happening, RB said. Shes their prized goose right now. So theyre being very very cautious about how theyre doing things and when theyre gonna announce things.
People are hearing around the web that Y&R was given an order to cut short Genie Franciss tenure as Genevieve so she may return to finish out GH as Laura. But Y&R claimed last week that they have big story for Genevieve.
**Siobhan will finally croak sometime between the weeks of August 15-22, 2011due to an injection of the wrong drugs. But Erin Chambers may linger on in another, new character. **

News for the week of 15-Aug-2011
by Carol Banks Weber
It doesnt look like new head writer Garin Wolf intended for Jason to suffer a terrible car crash (brain hemorrhage) in order to restore him as a Quartermaine. Instead, Wolf has written a way for Jason to give everybody from Sam and Monica, to Elizabeth, and Carly what they want: a series of what-if dreams during the characters recuperation from brain surgery. Each of his women will imagine different, self-serving scenarios (to air August 26 and 29) with Jason, if he comes out of this different. This suits portrayer Steve Burton a lot better than having to put on Jason Qs reindeer sweater, serving tea to Monica, and smiling his *** off.
As for the state of GH, Burton shared his logic-based hope with TV Guide columnist Michael Logan (August 11th). Even though ABC Daytime hasnt yet revealed GHs fate, even after announcing Katie Courics new talk show in its time slot for September 2012, Burton saw this as merely a trial period for his soap to show its stuff, save itself and perhaps wind up on a timeslot of one of the two new reality shows chosen to replace AMC and OLTL. There are so many variables. If Katie Couric's taking our slot, do we get the slot of one of these new reality shows if they don't work out? What's the likelihood of both of them being a hit? All we can do is focus on what we need to do to keep the ratings up and the budget down, Burton mused. We don't want ABC looking at us going, Do we want GH or this Chew show? We want our numbers to be so good they can't even think about getting rid of us. All we can do is focus on what we need to do to keep the ratings up and the budget down. We don't want ABC looking at us going, 'Do we want GH or this CHEW show?' We want our numbers to be so good they can't even think about getting rid of us.
Steve Burton (Jason) would never do a reality-TV show of any sort, certainly not the one co-stars Kelly Monaco (Sam) and Kirsten Storms (Maxie) are in exclusively for E! (Dirty Soap premieres on September 25, 10 p.m. ET/PT). He has nothing against them and supports his co-stars venture, but for himself, its GH, business, and go home. If there are any extra, non-GH cameras on him, he said he gets testy, ala Sonny Corinthos.

Interesting dish about select soap stars coming out with the promotion of Kelly Ripas (ex-Hayley, AMC)/Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo, AMC) new Dirty Soap reality-TV series on E! set to premiere on September 25, 10 p.m. ET/PT. Kelly Monaco (Sam), Kirsten Storms (Maxie; ex-Belle, DOOL), and Farah Fath (ex-Gigi, OLTL; ex-Mimi, DOOL) are three of the featured soap stars in this new docu-reality series. Monaco, according to the promos, just broke up with her longtime boyfriend Mike and is playing the field. Theres also talk about her troubled past. Then, theres talk about Storms and Faths falling out. Storms is also suffering from a falling out with some relatives. Stay tuned Ive been hammering for a reality-TV soap series for years.
RavenBeauty on August 11th encouraged GH fans to do more than sit idly by as possibly their favorite soap goes by the wayside by September 2012. Heres her message: You are being lulled into a false sense of security, and by the time the announcement comes, it will be too late my friends. You should be getting your groups together now while there is still time to have your voices heard. You don't buy insurance after you have had an accident! I would encourage all of you to get on board with the coupon campaign that is currently in process as it is indeed gaining momentum and getting us the press we need to keep our voices loud and strong. This campaign is giving us some real accountability in trying to get cable companies to recognize the untapped potential here.
In RavenBeautys August 11th GH Dish, a new, hot and young character by the name of Gina comes into town to shake things up. Ginas dad is another mobster and she may take up with Michael, ending the excruciating pairing with Abby. Here a bit of what RB said about this: as I told you a few months back, Abby and Michael are being taken in a completely new direction. Its over guys...it's done... Looks like Ginas the spicier version of Kristina. Is Gina code for Kirsten Aldersons (Starr, OLTL) or Farah Faths (ex-Gigi, OLTL) new GH role?
According to RB, here are other spumors coming GHs way: **Elizabeth and Dante dabble, but ultimately its Elizabeth for Lucky, Lauras mentioned again, for a later date, batted around as an olive branch once certain news hits over the coming months, cast cuts make way for old favorites (and new versions with familiar faces), the Cassadines make a huge comeback in a very sneaky way, but the Quartermaines are prepared, a mystery unravels involving the Cassadines and Skye, a tearjerker happens to a beloved PC resident, and the drug story will take over until someone makes a VERY careless mistake. This one ends one war and begins another. **

It would be nice to see Sonny actually go to jail for awhile (like atleast several months) and then come back. I think we need a break from him. He is sort of like Helena for me. I can only take her in small occasional doses.

Ok, I have to get this off my chest...it's been bugging me for *years*.
I love Laura Wright and I think she does a great job but I can not stand to watch her talk. It's like she over ennunciates her words or something...everytime she speaks I only focus on her mouth and not what she is saying or what is going on in the scene

I love Laura Wright and I think she does a great job but I can not stand to watch her talk. It's like she over ennunciates her words or something...everytime she speaks I only focus on her mouth and not what she is saying or what is going on in the scene
And here I thought I was the only one that felt that way.
Count me in too!

me too!! And, it seems like one or two of her teeth are darker on the bottom which is very distracting as well.
Regardless...she's an incredible actress!

I sure hope they shake it up more!! I've been a GH fan since Laura lost her virginity!! (I was 14, and was so enthralled by the whole concept!
)I have to admit though, I'm getting tired of the car wrecks, I mean really, let's show some originality!!
Anthony Z... what a devilish,comedic, twisted, mean, CrAzY villian!! Bruce Weitz is fabulous. Now I hate all of his evil doings... but he really is quite a issue for Port Charles residents. My favorite scenes are the ones he has with his son, John...aka Johnny. As much as I abhor the mob... I like Anthony and Johnny.
I have been enjoying all the history in the dialogue that has occurred in the past few weeks.
oh.. today as I was watching a dvr'd episode my husband walked in.. he saw Lucky.. and said.. Good Lord he needs to shave that mess! If they can put fake hair on everybody why can't they fill in his nasty beard?.....
