TUESDAY, April 21
Wonderful, wonderful
news!.......
Genie Francis is returning to GENERAL HOSPITAL
to resume the role of Laura Spencer. Her first
airdate will be Wednesday, May 20. Laura's return
to Port Charles will occur after a surprise visit from
Nikolas (Tyler Christopher). Many more surprises
are in store when Laura arrives at Wyndemere on
the night of Stefan (Stephen Nichols) and
Katherine's (Mary Beth Evans) engagement ball. I
can't wait to see what happens. While I know the
story -- I'm so looking forward to seeing Genie act it
out! Hey Genie -- we're glad you're back where you
belong!
Now, on to May sweeps highlights for PORT
CHARLES and ALL MY CHILDREN. Tomorrow, I'll
give you the sweeps highlights for ONE LIFE TO
LIVE and GENERAL HOSPITAL.
Everything may look the same, but looks are
deceiving. It's an entire month of mystery on "ABC
MAYTIME." Art imitates life in Port Charles when
the fiction of "General Homicide" becomes a real
unsolved mystery. Expect the unexpected as
residents of Pine Valley go back to the future and
unveil secrets of the past that will jeopardize
everyone's present.
On PC the word "fiction" takes on a whole new
meaning. Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) had no idea that his
tall tale, known as "General Homicide," would not
only reveal secrets from his own past, but would
also put the entire town in danger as a serial killer
targets the people Kevin fictionalized in his book.
While the murder mystery has everyone watching
their backs, Chris (Nolan North) is finally exposed
for who he really is -- but again, looks are deceiving.
As Scott (Kin Shriner) and Eve (Julie Pinson) finally
give in to absolute pleasure, their new romance is
already being driven apart by suspicion, as fingers
point to Eve and no alibi is in sight. The always
dubious Lucy (Lynn Herring) not only believes that
Eve is behind the murder, but tries to prove that
Eve's secret past will help free Kevin from any
possible blame. Frank (Jay Pickett) careens out of
control, and Julie's (Lisa Ann Hadley) world comes
crashing down around her as she struggles to
understand what has happened to the man she
loves. Matt (Mitch Longley) and Ellen (Debbi
Morgan) hit a critical juncture in their relationship,
as Matt is forced to make a choice between the two
women in his life. Finally, an unknown woman and
her child arrive in town and manage to threaten
Karen (Jennifer Hammon) and Joe's (Michael Dietz)
relationship. But, why?
On AMC it's "Mystery Science Theater," Pine
Valley style. "Murder, mayhem and matrimony"
unfold as Tad (Michael E. Knight), Adam (David
Canary), Camille (Schuyler Grant) and Jack (Walt
Willey) travel to none other than Pigeon Hollow on a
fact-finding mission to do a little "digging" into the
past. What they uncover about the death of
Camille's mother will shock viewers.
While Jack is off playing good cop, Mike Roy (Nick
Surovy) is definitely playing bad cop where Erica
(Susan Lucci) is concerned. Some things never
change: The sparks between Erica and Mike ignite
again! Will she give in to old desires, or will she be
loyal to her good cop, Jackson? This is Erica Kane,
after all.
Mateo (Mark Consuelos) continues to "flash
forward" and it becomes increasingly more evident
that he must make changes to his and Hayley's
(Kelly Ripa) life to avoid the peril he keeps seeing
ahead of them. After a suspicious elevator crash,
Stuart (David Canary) lies injured in Pine Valley
Hospital and a devoted Marian (Jennifer Bassey)
nurses him back to health. Interestingly, all fingers
point to Camille as the prime suspect in this
mysterious malfunction.
Sparks fly as Belinda (Amelia Marshall) and Keith
(Norm Lewis) go head-to-head when Brooke (Julia
Barr) goes on trial for murder. Belinda and Trevor
(James Kiberd) team up to defend. Finally, here
comes that bride, Janet (Robin Mattson), with her
groom in question, Axel (Nick Sullivan). Will they
say their I do's?
Now, here's a sneak peek at Wednesday's shows.
On PC, Scott makes a startling discovery in the
hospital lab! At AMC, Mateo realizes he has "seen"
virtually everything Brooke describes to him. Over at
OLTL, Georgie gives Todd and Viki copies of the
photo she made. And on GH, what is Jerry Jacks
up to now?
Well, that's all for now.
See you tomorrow,
ABCJoanne
me again. sonny AND laura--all in the space of one week?!? as taiyin
would say... <happy dance>!!!!! now we can REALLY get this storyline
underway...

Subject: GH/PC: ABC Commerials!
Hi all...
Has anyone else been screaming at their tv sets lately??? The
commercial for GH with Tony's verdict and the consequences of it?
(I'm assuming that's not a spoiler 'cause I'm not saying what the
commercial showed!) Why is ABC putting such big spoilers in their
commercials?? It makes it so aggravating -- it's like waiting for the
other shoe to drop for days on end! They can build suspense without
spoiling the storyline, can't they?? Even TV Guide last week had a
major spoiler for a different ABC soap. I don't understand this stuff!
On another topic, what does everyone think the Frank storyline on
PC??? Personally, I'm not enjoying it, though the acting is top-rate.
Frank looks like a whole different person somehow since they changed
his personality. I realize they have to make Devlin evil for the next
steps to occur, but I really liked Frank better before!
Just my well-taxed two cents...

That's even better than waiting until the wedding. Though
it would serve Katherine right to be stood up at the altar

Because she and Karen had an affair, and the child is

Constantly. But I'm sure you meant in relation to the

You are a canny one ;)
I think that, given Robin's testimony and the fact that
Brad M. is still on contract, the verdict wasn't really in
doubt. But in principle, I thoroughly agree. For example,
I would have preferred to see the spoiler that they
revealed about Carly as it happened.
<sigh>
My biggest complaint, however, lies with Alexis. Why, oh
why, oh why didn't she just tell Ned that Helena had
threatened her life and she felt compelled to defend Tony.
Yes, I realize then we wouldn't get to see Ned thundering
and brooding quite so much, but it would have been the
logical thing to do.
Grrrrrrrrr.
>Frank looks like a whole different person somehow since

>his personality.
I'm blanking on the name of the actor who plays Frank, but
he manages to project such intensity.... He'd make a
*wonderful* villain. I don't think Frank would, however.
Maybe Frank has a twin that nobody knows about. In fact,
maybe Frank's twin could turn up in Kevin's mirror as a
change of pace, and thereby spare Jon from having to shave.
I'm not saying that I advocate the latter, but since
Taiyin's not here, I won't have to listen to her taunt me
about slippage on the beard/no beard issue ;)

Yep -- it's not like she didn't have the opportunity -- he was
lying in her bed, for goodness sake's!!! LOL! I really like the two
of them together, but let's get real -- honesty is still important,
ain't it??? :) Of course, if Rena Sofer were to decide to come back,
I'd be THRILLED with this storyline!! <veg>

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! I loved it when Ryan said, "Sure you're normal.
Oh yeah, everyone has conversations with their dead brother!" or
something to that effect. BTW, not only is Jon Lindstrom/Kevin/Ryan
absolutely yummy-licious, but his character has such good taste --
good music yesterday and that frosted glass bottle with the squiggly
lines on it is gorgeous -- whoever goes on the next set visit,
wouldja' swipe that for me??? LOL!!

Subject: GH/PC: Random thoughts
Hi all-
Did anyone else catch Carly's little tummy rub today while she was at
the hearing? Of course it was a Sarah Brown tummy rub, but it made me
laugh nevertheless. It was just when Tony is put on the stand-- the
camera cuts back to her and she must not have been aware of it.
More important random thnoughts :) I loved the scene with Jason (what
can I say? Any scene with Jason and I revert back to Jr. high
adolescent crushes) talking about Michael and his family's reaction to
his comments and his love for Michael-- also, Jason's comment about the
5th amendment "My favorite one" was classic. When I heard that Jason
really got on Carly's case about what she said to Robin, I was hoping it
was a la the car scene after she called the strike. Of course, I was
surprised that it was very controlled anger, but I have to admit it was
pretty effective and believable. Jason isn't an out of control guy, so
to play that would have shown a man who can't handle those kinds of
things. I must say I really like the way that Steve Burton is playing
this character-- and who was it who wondered how long it would be before
Carly held Michael over his head? We didn't have to wait for long!
I have also been trying to guess what Helena wants with Tony-- does
anyone have any theories? I can't come up with a one...

Why is ABC putting such big spoilers in their
commercials??
Probably because even though we all think they are spoilers, they are
stepping stones to the next "part" of the storyline which will be so
much bigger.
by the way, is anyone thinking that the Jax family is somehow connected
to Sonny coming back? Especially when Lady Jane said to Brenda, "what
if" Sonny came back, who would you choose??? Hmmm?

WEDNESDAY, April 22
Today we have.......
sweeps info for all of you
GENERAL HOSPITAL fans!
On GH, it's "confrontations, collisions and
celebrations." One plane crash plus two people at
odds equals many people's despair. As Brenda
(Vanessa Marcil) and Jason's (Steve Burton) ELQ
flight disappears without the ability to radar anyone
in Port Charles for help, they come to terms with
one another. In the meantime, Jax (Ingo
Rademacher) realizes how much he loves Brenda
and sets out on a mission to find her before it's too
late.
<ick. gag. choke. puke. retch. sorry, couldn't help myself.>
Robin (Kimberly McCullough) also admits to
herself that she still loves Jason, hoping and praying
he's still alive.
Stefan (Stephen Nichols) and Katherine (Mary Beth
Evans) decide to celebrate their engagement by
throwing a Bacchanalia Ball. As guests arrive in
masks and costumes, an unlikely union is formed
between Luke (Anthony Geary) and Alexis (Nancy
Lee Grahn),
<YES, YES, YES!!!!!>
which leads to a tragic event that will
shock everyone. What masquerade would be
complete without a little romance? Elizabeth
(Rebecca Herbst) and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson)
<at the risk of repeating myself...YES, YES, YES!!!!!>
not only crash the party but find a moment to trip
the light fantastic. Mac (John J. York) and Felicia
(Kristina Wagner) struggle over how to tell everyone
that they're not really engaged, since everyone but
Mac and Felicia can see why they're perfect for one
another. Bobbie (Jacklyn Zeman) continues to
surprise everyone, including herself, as she
becomes closer to Carly (Sarah Brown) and vows to
stop the Quartermaines from using Jason's
disappearance to claim baby Michael. And finally,
Alan's (Stuart Damon) drug addiction is no longer
his best-kept secret.
<did i mention that i'm REALLY looking forward to next month?!?>
Now, here's a sneak peek at Thursday's shows. On
PORT CHARLES, is Kevin's book actually coming
to life? At AMC, Erica wants to hire Axel to portray
her stalker. Over at OLTL, Nora thinks she sees Bo
and Georgie in a clinch. And on GH, Helena
privately vows revenge on Katherine.
Well, that's it for now.
See you tomorrow,
ABCJoanne

Awww, come on -- what woman wouldn't want Jax??? LOL!! I think
Vanessa Marcil summed it up perfectly in the 35th anniversary special
when she said something like "Jax is incredible - the perfect man...he
does not exist in real life!" Brenda and Sonny had electricity, yes,
but let's face it, he's not good for her. That was an emotionally
abusive relationship, and having been through one of those myself, I
need not watch it on tv! Jax respects her as well as loves her and
that's a true basis for a relationship. If he can learn to trust her
again, I think they're good for each other. He makes her want to be a
stronger woman and that's good. <g> Ok...off my relationship soapbox
now...
> Robin (Kimberly McCullough) also admits to

According to Steve Burton's interview with Cindi Rinehart (NW
Afternoon) he and Robin will never get back together - she'll wind up
with Nickolas, prince of darkness....<eg>

The only thing more fun to watch than Ned & Alexis is Luke &
Alexis!!!! I love their bantering! However, I do NOT want Luke &
Alexis "together" - that would not be good. I realize with Genie
Francis coming back she'll blow up to find out all the things that
have happened that Luke kept from her, but I don't want them with
other people - they've come through too much together to blow it now.
And frankly, if she has come back just to have them break up it'll be
a huge waste of talent!

"Finally"??? What is that, the understatement of the year...the
decade??? I am SO tired of that storyline!! As a disabled person who
lives in chronic pain, I have a real problem with the way this whole
thing was introduced anyway, but that's another soapbox.

Ok...I know this is a GH/PC list, but since someone else included
this AMC piece, I have to ask - did anyone else see Michael Knight
(Tad) check his zipper yesterday in the middle of a scene??? LOL!!
That cracked me up -- did he stop for a pit stop before taping the
scene or what??? Too funny!!!

i can deal with the "what woman wouldn't want jax" part, really i
can...it's just this whole j&b revisited thing that i can't handle.
it's preposterous. if that man takes her back (which we all know he
will) he's a bigger idiot than MOST men are. she dumped him, numerous
times, for another man, the self-professed "love of her life," and NOW
he'd like to settle for second best? please. the man deserves better.

i disagree. not about the part about them not being good for each
other--they clearly weren't--but i thought that was part of what made
them such great fun to watch! i don't mean to belittle anyone else's
pain, nor do i think it would be fun to watch one of my friends go
through such a relationship, or to go through one myself--but maurice
benard said it himself when he said watching s&b was like watching a
train wreck--you don't WANT to look, but you can't help yourself. it's
tv, it's drama, it's larger than life...it's just too good not to watch!
now, would i want them back together when sonny returns? no, i don't
think so. i think what tptb did to sonny makes it impossible for any
self-respecting woman to forgive him. but that doesn't mean i want
brenda back together with jax either. there ARE other men in the world,
aren't there?
>Jax respects her as well as loves her and
>that's a true basis for a relationship.
pardon me??? now THIS i REALLY disagree with. respects her? please.
jax likes to play, and jax likes to win. do you remember how he first
came to port charles, trying to woo lois away from ned? or how he
blackmailed brenda into marrying him with that little ultimatum of his?
or how he conveniently forgot to mention his previous not-quite-dead
wife? or, and this is the worst part, in my view--how he's consistently
leading her on now? ok, we have the advantage of knowing that guza WILL
put them back together sooner or later. but let's pretend we didn't
know that--that these were two people we knew (god, i wish!). and jax
person, despite telling brenda person in no uncertain terms that there
is NO hope for a reconciliation between the two of them (remember--we
DON'T KNOW he's wrong) continues to let her spend all her money (money
she doesn't have, i might add) on him, despite the fact that he's a
gazillionaire, and almost gets her shot (i don't count that nick as
actually BEING shot), and kisses her but then says "no, i didn't mean
that"...if brenda person were your best friend, what would YOU tell her?
keep on trying? or GIVE UP ALREADY--HE'S LEADING YOU ON!!!
>If he can learn to trust her
>again, I think they're good for each other. He makes her want to be >a
stronger woman and that's good.
i don't think brenda is capable of being a stronger woman until she
severs all ties with both sonny AND jax, realizes there ARE other men in
the world, and--more importantly--realizes she can live just fine
without ANY of them. and maybe learns how to make a decision on her own
someday. that'd be nice, too. :)

oh, i don't think THAT will happen. guza also said that breaking up l&l
would be like breaking up his parents. i just meant that i LOVE luke
and alexis together as sparring partners, or reluctant (on alexis's
part) co-conspirators. i just love their scenes together, and think if
the two of them team up against helena, sparks could REALLY fly!
so i wouldn't worry about genie--i think she's got some GREAT stuff
waiting for her when she comes back!

Subject: GH/PC: Catching up
Well, I'm back. The Magic Kingdom was delightful, and Tuesday it was HOT.
Niece, nephew and sisters were DYING to come home by yesterday, though.
Thank gods. None of them actually have to go to work today.
While we were in line for Star Tours the guy who works there started
teasing me that everyone else in our group was wearing Disney hats, and
what was the matter with me? I was wearing my GH hat that I bought at the
Museum of TV and Radio last month when Cagey and I were in LA for our PC
set tour. So I told him that I *was* wearing a Disney hat. GH is owned by
ABC, which is owned by Disney. So neener, neener, neener.
He was quite amused.
Anyway, 'scuse me whilst I play "catch-up.:

But, he's a BLOND. ;-) (I have a SERIOUS allergy to blond guys, don't ask
me why.) Beyond that, I think I've gotten to the point of sharing Mac's
opinion of Jax -- especially after that assassination attempt business.
And I still can't watch Brenda at ALL.

I agree. Part of what was enticing about them is that the ONLY place Sonny
and Brenda would EVER be able to be together would be in a soap. The rest
of the world would have chewed them up and spit them out in the first six
months. It made for fabulous escapism.

The way those three have been written over the past couple of years
sometimes make me doubt that.
>if brenda person were your best friend, what would YOU tell her?
>keep on trying? or GIVE UP ALREADY--HE'S LEADING YOU ON!!!
You know, despite the fact that I can't watch them at all, I have to say
that even on fast-forward they've been looking more and more like this all
the time. If <groan> they are going to get back together, yes, absolutely
Brenda needs to make some SERIOUS amends with Jax and he needs to learn to
trust her. But she's jumping through hoops and he's playing games. Aside
from the fact that I actually (for once) agree with Jax's position
regarding Brenda at the moment, he keeps sending her totally mixed signals
- -- the kind that men trash women for sending ALL the time.

<snort> I still haven't made up my mind about that pair at all. On one
hand I like it MUCH better now that they are moving Robin away from the
conventional stuff she was doing before (pre-med, college, etc.), but I
really go back and forth a lot as to whether or not I like Nikolas at all
- -- never mind my recent complaints about what they've been doing with Robin.

That makes him pretty much like every other member of TPTB. Though, it's
entirely possible that "unfinished business" (which I do agree they still
have) could be dealt with without them getting back together. And
considering the way that Guza tends to write for Robin, I think I may
actually prefer it that way.
OTOH, when it comes to Guza's comments regarding Kevin/Lucy/Scott (that
there is just too much history to resist delving into when it comes to
Scott and Lucy -- bleah. Been there, done that. Scott bolted from town
with a two day old infant and left Lucy standing in the snow in a cemetery
with a seven digit check that was supposed to heal her broken heart.
Grrrrr.), I could SERIOUSLY get behind the idea that he was just BIG TIME
lying. Please, please, please.
re: Kat and Bat
Geri again:

Amen to that one, too. OTOH, what a DELIGHTFUL time for Laura to resurface!
> The only thing more fun to watch than Ned & Alexis is Luke &

I second THAT emotion.
>However, I do NOT want Luke &
>Alexis "together" - that would not be good.
Nah, never gonna happen. Even with Guza talking out of both sides of his
mouth, he'd never do it. He couldn't afford to. I do wish he'd put a lid
on it already, though. He spent MONTHS going on and on and on and on about
how he could NEVER break up Luke and Laura, and talking about how it'd be
like his parents getting a divorce, and then in the past two months he says
stuff like, "We're not afraid to deconstruct the greatest love of all
time." Yadda, yadda, yadda. HA!!!

Don't get my hopes up like that. Nothin' I love more than a good controversy.

Probably. Let me check at the office.

You know, I've had much more cause to complain about the way that Robin has
been written lately, but part of me still has this nagging feeling that
Guza has essentially 'neutered' Alexis, too. I know she needs
vulnerabilities, but I have a real problem watching her cower in front of
Helena over and over and over again. Yes, everyone knows not to mess with
the Queen of Mean, but eventually a person is going to get sick of having
her life threatened every other day and just say, "Fine, do it! But I'm
not going to be your lackey anymore!"
Maybe I watch too much La Femme Nikita. <sigh>
But I have an even bigger problem with the way that, in general, she seems
to be lacking some of her fire lately. I hope it was mostly because they
were trying to hide NLG's pregnancy, so they just didn't use her very much.
Maybe this alliance with Luke will h*lp; they do bring out the fighters in
each other.

Jay Pickett. And I'd never thought of him in a villain role before.
Hmmmm.... yum. I think you're right about it not quite working for Frank,
though. The way the character has been established over most of the past
year sort of makes that one impossible to see.

Yes!!! No more shaving!
