By Perkie Lulu is another one who’s coming close to the edge of my annoyance. Almost telling Sonny. Almost telling Lucky. Almost telling and warning off Johnny. It’s just not acceptable. If Johnny or Sonny do anything to Dante it's all on Lulu’s shoulders. READ MORE

By Jillian Bowe Get ready for the return of Zander Smith folks! Chad Brannon tweeted the exact airdate fans can expect to see him back on General Hospital. Said Brannon, By the way, Correction: ABC Publicity said my air date for General Hospital will actually be Dec. 22, Merry Christmas!  *Sigh* I miss Ch...

By Perkie Someone really needs to take Lulu aside and explain to her that what she’s doing is wrong. By being so cryptic with Sonny and Luke she’s throwing suspicion on Lucky to Sonny and is likely endangering his life. Lucky's oblivious to it. Her logic doesn’t make any sense. Sonny has been nice to her on...

By Luke Kerr This week's ABC Soap Scoop features All My Children's Jake and Amanda, One Life to Live's Todd meeting his unknown daughter and Johnny finds out that Dante is an undercover cop on General Hospital. Watch the promo after the jump. READ MORE

By Regan 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 Fr...

Michael kills Claudia, and Jason and Sonny cover it up. Should Carly be blaming Jax for not telling her about Claudia? What is James Franco's character's connection to Jason and the mob? Should Michael be more of a Quartermaine? The Quartermaines have done unspeakable things, are they ju...

By Luke Kerr But why a soap opera at all? Well ... I've got other ideas for my participation in this soap opera beyond just being in this soap opera. But it's been a blast so far. It was kind of mind-blowing. I've worked one day on it. It's one day of a few. But I think we packed seven episodes of my material in. They gave m...

On today's CBS and Days of our Lives episode of Daytime Confidential Luke, Jillian and Melodie discuss the latest in As the World Turns, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives and The Young and the Restless storylines and news, including:

By Perkie I complained on Wednesday that day's episode of General Hospital was a horrible episode. Luckily they followed it up with two excellent episodes on Thursday and Friday. Those shows were full of great acting and soapy goodness. So, I guess I was rewarded for putting up with Wednesday!! Giant...

By Regan If you follow me on Twitter, I’ve tweeted a couple episodes of General Hospital as well as some primetime shows. GH has been fantasti,c so most of my tweets were positive although, you all know me by now ,and know that a little sarcasm must come out! For example, when Michael and Sonny were ret...

By Jamey Giddens He might be playing Jason Morgan's (Steve Burton) "worst nightmare", but something tells me film star James Franco is going to be Sam McCall's (Kelly Monaco) wet dream! Check out this glimpse of Franco on General Hospital. CBS and NBC Daytime better start stepping up their A-Game... Pho...

By Perkie Ah Sonny, always the horrible human being (I cleaned up the language, since that’s really not what I wanted to call him). Using the guilt of Alexis covering for Kristina to get her to do her lawyer stuff to get Jason out so he can go and kill Claudia. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. And why ex...

By Perkie I loved the look of shock and almost betrayal on Carly’s face when Sonny was making the announcement that the shooting was Claudia’s (and Jerry’s) fault. Laura Wright can be very expressive with her just her face. READ MORE

By Regan Can you believe it… I’m enjoying General Hospital. Prior to my “leave of absence” I had been pretty down on the Port Chuckles crew but lately it’s been great. Yesterday’s episode must have broken the bank with the everyone who got a little face time. What has me back on the GH bandwagon? Dante! I...

By Perkie I’m not bloodthirsty, nor do I enjoy the violence on this show, but I must say that I am looking forward to what’s going to happen tomorrow. From Sonny knowing the truth, but not saying anything to Jason, to Jason’s eyes bulging out of his head as he stares down Claudia, to Sonny’s little speec...

From the moment it was announced that Guiding Light was going to be cancelled, all eyes were on Gina Tognoni. Everyone in the industry was wondering where the talented beauty, who had quickly made the oft recast role of carny-turned-vixen Dinah Marler her very own, would end up. Would she m...

By Luke Kerr Las Vegas alum Marsha Thomason has been cast as a "mystery woman" involved in James Franco's story on General Hospital, according to Soap Opera Digest. Thomason recently appeared in the pilot episode of USA's White Collar. Photo by PR Photos

By Perkie He’s baaack!!! As much as I liked Greg Vaughan and was disappointed in his firing, I will admit that when Elizabeth opened the door and Jonathan Jackson was standing there, I squealed like a little girl!!!

By Luke Kerr Jonathan Jackson returned to General Hospital today. What were your First Impressions of his return? Watch two clips after the jump. RELATED: General Hospital Flashback: Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer READ MORE

By Jillian Bowe ABC Soaps In Depth is reporting Natalia Livingston will be saying goodbye to  the citizens the fictional town of Port Charles, as she is leaving General Hospital. No word on when the actress will depart her role as Rebecca.

By Luke Kerr Jonathan Jackson returns as Lucky Spencer tomorrow, so in honor of his return I dug up some classic clips from YouTube. I started watching General Hospital in 1998, so many of these scenes and storylines are what helped to hook me on the show. After the jump, you'll find clips of Lucky findin...

By Perkie I did like that Carly was going all-out with this party, determined to make Sonny pay through the nose. Girl’s got to get her jollies somewhere. I loved the Alexis/Kristina scene, once scuzzy Kiefer left. And I can still see why Alexis’ radar doesn’t go off with the kid. He’s very good at charmin...

By Luke Kerr My Antonio and former General Hospital: Night Shift star Antonio Sabato, Jr. brought daughters Amanda Sabato, Kylie Sabato and Mina Sabato to the launch of Millions of Milkshakes, his new store in West Hollywood. See more pictures and watch video after the jump. READ MORE

By Perkie I loved the Jason/Spinelli scene. Jason was so angry and frustrated that he can’t pin this thing on Claudia and Spinelli was sticking to his guns that he won’t do anything to frame her, even though that’s probably what Jason would want. You know Spinelli’s serious when he uses someone’s re...

By Luke Kerr General Hospital's Jackie Zeman visits with We Love Soaps'  Damon Jacobs about dancing, The Edge of Night, her stint on One Life to Live, Douglas Marland creating the character of Bobbie Spencer and being a part of General Hospital during the height of its popularity. We Love Soaps: Bobb...

By Jamey Giddens Since hubby Scott Reeves has booked a recurring gig on General Hospital as Steven Lars Webber, wouldn't it be the bee's knees if Fronsie-kins tapped Reeves' real-life wife Melissa Reeves as Felicia Jones? GH already has a former Days of Our Lives superstar playing Flea's daughter Maxie...

By Jillian Bowe TV Guide Magazine reports Scott Reeves (Ex- Ryan 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 dra...

By Luke Kerr Jonathan Jackson returns to General Hospital on October 27 and ABC has released a promo. I'm looking forward to Jackson's return, but I'm a bit confused. I was under the impression Lucky Spencer had been in Port Charles for some years now. The promo says that "Elizabeth's first love is back." D...

By Jillian Bowe Soap vixen Lynn Herring dished with On Air On Soaps' Michael Fairman about her thoughts of the status of daytime and former alma mater, General Hospital. MICHAEL: So while you were finishing your run on As the World Turns, sadly, Guiding Light concluded. I was wondering what your feeling...

By Luke Kerr The time has finally come! Michael remembers everything on General Hospital. Watch the promo after the jump. READ MORE

By Perkie I hate it when my hopes are shattered!! Both cliffhanger scenes from Friday (Olivia/Sonny and Lucky/Helena) turned into nothing. I know Helena loves to torment Lucky, but why bother saying anything if she wasn’t even going to tell him it was about Liz?

By Perkie Welcome back Diane!! Good of them to finally give us a Maxane explanation, a month after the fact. So, she’s been away at work and he’s hooked up with Louisa and apparently has no injuries from the accident. Good to know. Call me crazy, but I really wanted Alexis to accept Diane’s offer to work wi...

By Perkie Funny line of the day #1: Alexis to Helena: “Oh my God, you look awful. That makes me so happy.” Not that I care, but since both Ethan and Luke were “working” at the Haunted Star, are we to assume that Tracy has reinstated them? Or did I miss something when I zoned out on their storyline? READ MORE

By Perkie I don’t know if it’s the writing or the acting, but I am loving Dante’s storyline. I love his relationship with his mother and the ease between the two actors. I loved when he went off on Olivia about cops failing and mobsters getting away with stuff and how he wants to avenge the man who was his f...

On today's ABC episode of Daytime Confidential Luke is joined by Eye on Soaps' Belinda and Wubs' Karen to discuss the latest in All My Children, General Hospital and One Life to Live storylines and news, including: General Hospital's Claudia knows Dante's identity. Olivia and Johnny's c...

By Perkie Johnny: “Women used to have babies in fields. They’d just lie down and have them.” Speaking of Alexis, it’s very hard to defend her when she gets as hypocritical as she did today. Calling Sam out on dating a mobster, when she herself dated Jerry. That’s a bit much. READ MORE

By Perkie Patrick going out to Jake’s with Louise was one thing, but inviting her over to his place afterwards was a bit much. I know he was just picking up food and bringing it to Robin, but why invite someone you just met along for that? And why would she go? Granted, it was a plot point to have them walk in...

By Perkie So, the old Emily Quartermaine Free Clinic has been transformed into the Planned Parenthood Clinic? At first I thought they had redone the entry of the Mercy Hospital set, but the more they showed it, the more I thought it looked like Nikolas’ clinic. Good Sam/Kristina interaction − discu...

By Luke Kerr A mistake by the General Hospital: Night Shift production team has landed SOAPnet a lawsuit. In a second season episode of Night Shift, a picture of Christopher Barrios Jr., who had been kidnapped and murdered in 2007, was used without the knowledge or permission of his family. SOAPnet iss...

There is something to be said for older characters on the who bring so much wisdom to various storylines on the soaps. As the World Turns does this well and nowhere was it more evident today when Lucinda and Emma tried to reach their daughters regarding their love lives. (Soap Opera Examiner)

By Perkie Brandon Barash continued to bring it today. His anger at Claudia was justified and her ability to deny her part in it despite knowing how much pain she caused him, just made me hate her more than I already did. Johnny: “Olivia and I weren’t hurting anybody. She was my safe zone. The only place I cou...

By Perkie I love the Davis girls, especially Molly, but why would they be involved in naming Jax's baby? I can fanwank that Kristina happened to be over visiting her brothers and I get that it was more of a plot point for Michael’s outburst, but still. Also, I’m not in love with the name Carly picked, so...
