According to Daytime Confidential, Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) pulled his castmates together and created Port Chuck with Brandon Barash (Johnny), Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) and longtime friend Scott Reeves (Steven). For all the deets, click here to hit up the Port Chuck website.

My girl Chrissie recently pointed out that Drew Garrett (Michael, GH) makes some pretty scary faces in freeze frame. See for yourself!

I will never tire of James Franco’s character on General Hospital. I know GH fans are tired of him, but I find him incredibly amusing. Franco made a good point on yesterday’s episode when he said that while Jason was busy getting arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, Franco himself was stealing women all over town, and no one even noticed! Franco captured Carly and tied her to a chair and the usual damsel in distress begging began. Franco mocked Carly, laughing in her face. However, the most amusing part of the conversation was when Carly basically said “you’ll never get away with this” to which Franco responded:

“Oh, who do I have to screw to get off this movie?!”

Priceless.

This year on General Hospital, the Corinthos and Davis kids each caught a serious case of SORAS. This was casting at it’s best. Kristina, Morgan, and Molly resemble each other and are all three fabulous actors. The big props go to the casting department for snagging Drew Garrett in the role of Michael Corinthos. Some argue that Michael is, well, too much attitude and not enough respect, which is all true. After everything that has happened in Michael’s life this year, it is understandable that the kid may be a little screwed up in the head. Drew delivered it well, and we can’t wait to see what he brings to the table in 2010. As an afterthought, I think it is important to mention the best line to ever leave Steve Burton’s mouth in a scene with Drew:

“You’re acting like a little bitch right now!”

I know I have a tendency to pump Steve Burton on this feature, but how can I help it when the hotness is so evident? I don’t need him to take off his black tee to imagine his pecks and abs, but why should I have to? Also, remember James Hyde who portrayed Sam on Passions? If not, let me refresh your memory:

If you follow us on Twitter you already know how I personally feel about James Franco’s first real day in Port Charles. So the gun scene was tacky, as usual, but it was necessary for whatever Franco has planned up his homeless looking sleeve. We finally got a shot of him sans hats, hoodies, and cloaks. It was well worth my time. Judging by the responses from some of you on Twitter, it was well worth yours as well. We were also privy to Franco’s first official GH kiss, with his unidentified lady friend. I don’t really care who she is, it was hot! This casting was genius no matter whose idea it was. What are your first thoughts of James Franco on GH? Please leave us a comment below and let us know!

Jason bought Liz’s house? I thought Emily did? Am I wrong? Somebody help me out here. I am really sick of seeing Lucky get played, so can we just let him walk in on Niz and get this over with, please? Of course, I kind of want the Niz sex to happen too. What a predicament.

Carly, had a baby, in a cabin, spent 2.5 seconds in the hospital and she’s already out and about? WITHOUT the baby! To go see Jason *roll my eyes*, so sick of this dude. Oh so concerned about Michael and his future, um, HELLO Robot Hitman! (Thank you Claudia!) How about your own kid? Oh whatever, I am not going to get started on that. However, I did LOL when Carly asked him if he thought Spinelli would like her cheesy snacks (Doritos) and he looked at them and said “No, not his brand.” Almost favorite line of the day goes to Carly: “See this is why I hate Elizabeth.” That’s my old Carly coming back. Love her Liz hate!

Was Lulu for real today? She seriously needed to be slapped. It’s times like this when I go back to saying Olivia needs a daughter because Dante needs a sister that can do that for him, Kristina doesn’t count. Sidenote: LuDa had their first fight…say it with me now “Awwwww”…..

Was that the first Lulu/Lucky scene? I am withholding commentary on that…for now.

Now to where my heart lies: JoLivia, my babies. The ish has hit the fan and it’s not pretty. To be completely honest, all of the Johnny/Olivia/Sonny scenes made me very uncomfortable. It’s like they are trying to make Johnny out to be some psycho abuser, which he is not. The last scenes with him coming to Olivia with flowers (!) after finding out that Dominic Pirelli is Dante Falconeri, her son and an undercover cop (thank you Lulu) quite honestly freaked me out. I am very interested to see how tomorrow goes.
Line of the day goes to Olivia: “I love you so much” to Johnny of course. Why? Because to me that was the first time it seemed like she actually meant it.

Honorable mention goes to her line about breaking a frying pan over his head and pushing him down the stairs if he hit her. Yea, that one made me LOL.

Oh and how about that Franco sighting? I think I am officially excited for Franco time!!

Peace!

Thank you to johnnyandolivia.com (@johnnyandolivia) for this pic.

If you are judging James Franco on the homeless looking garb that GH is putting him in, then you are not seeing his full potential. Peep this pic. The hotness is oh so obvious!

The time has come. The moment everyone, well from the tweets I have seen flying by, has been waiting for happens this week. James Franco makes his first appearance on General Hospital this Friday, November 20th. Let the party begin! Why is he here? Who is he here for? Is he going to hook up with anybody in Port Chuckie while he’s there? Are these the burning questions on YOUR mind? Because they aren’t on mine! Sorry, but I have yet to be sucked into the madness that is Franco fever. I am hoping the hype is not ruining the story. I am an optimist so, BRING IT ON FRANCO! In case anyone missed her tweet, Michele Val Jean informed us that ALL Franco scenes were written by Guza himself, ALL of them. She says they are AWESOME! **fingers crossed**
Peace!
Chrissie

It promises to be an exciting week in Port Charles as we all know that Sarah Joy Brown’s last hair date is imminent. Luly and Dante will team up with Spinelli. Jason will do something he might regret. Lulu will be in danger and so will Jax when Carly blames him for what’s happened. Need more? Soaps.com has all the latest scoop. Click on the link! Thanks!
