You know what would be good? Having Chet help Dante. He could draw on his own PTSD from combat to assist Dante through whatever it is he is going through.

I thought the same thing when it was clear that Dante has PTSD, find and talk with Chet

So they're trotting out Lesley because of Gail's will? That's not the worst reason, but there's so much more they could do. TFGH, of course.

It's a cute scene, but this gathering of loved ones Gail wanted better not be it after all this secrecy.

Also can't wait for the show to explain how said gathering of loved ones doesn't have Serena in attendance.

That's the dumbest part about this. I get they wanted to acknowledge Susan Brown's death sooner rather than later, but dragging out Gail's will—and making it all hush-hush—has been so unnecessary. 

[statsgirl]

They probably thought that saving it the 56th anniversary show and using it to do a retrospective was a good idea.

[TeeVee329]

Why, why, WHY did they have to insert Sonny and Carly at the end of that promo  Nobody's gonna forget they and their pet hit man have eaten the show alive.

Also, given what he did to her granddaughter and the perpetually antagonistic relationship between him and Scotty, Sonny better not be ANYWHERE involved in this Gail stuff..

[TeeVee329]

Whoa, Lucy and Scotty are on the cover of a soap magazine?  And an actual storyline seems to be being teased?  Have...we gone back in time?  Don't toy with me, Show.

[nilyank]

Why is Griffin on the cover when he left Port Charles last week.

The Scoop: GH previews, teasers, and spoilers for the Week of April 1, 2019

[dubbel zout]

In what’s become a soap staple, there’s some kind of hunt to determine what each of them was left by their late friend.

Because that worked so well with Helena's will. *rme*

Epiphany makes an appearance

LOL. We saw her on Friday, and she even had a few lines of dialogue.

Valentin is less than truthful

In other shocking news, water is wet!

Valentin has an encounter with Spencer

Sigh. Unless Valentin has definite proof of Spencer's interference with the election and it puts Spencer in juvie for a decade or more, I don't want to see this.

[LexieLily]

Quote

Valentin has an encounter with Spencer

Why does this show think we want to see a grown man having semi-regular spats with a teenager, after Valentin has already murdered Spencer's father and stolen his home/inheritance?

[BlancheDevoreaux]

I'm still trying to figure out if we are supposed to believe Valentine's lie that he killed Nik in self defense. Did the writers retcon that? Is it never going to come out that he forced Nik to sign over everything and then killed him? I'm no Spencer fan, but I'm on his side here. That's some serous BS and even more BS if it never comes out.

[TeeVee329]

Oh gawd, Spencer's back again?

We aren't sure that he ever left. He sure hasn't shown any concern that his grandmother, his guardian, was missing for a week.

I'm still trying to figure out what the point of Valentin forcing Nik to sign over everything was since he (Valentin) just so happened to have that will from Mikkos that left everything to him.

All will be revealed once FV/writers figure out how to insert either Jason, Sonny, and/or Carly into that plot.

That shouldn't be too hard. Ava was there. Do a quick rewrite and make her partially responsible. Laura and Carly are already new bffs so it won't be hard for Laura to lean on Carly giving Carly a whole new reason to bash Ava and Sonny something to use against her for Avery custody.

Sadly, I'm only halfway kidding. This would be a terrible storyline but I wouldn't put it passed the writers.

Even with the will, Nikolas could havqe still fought Valentin for the estate. With Nikolas dead  only Spencer would have stood in his way. 

[WendyCR72]

Why is Valentin still even on canvas? He's as useless as Nina. Ship 'em both off together.

I would be very sad to lose Valentin. It's good for Port Charles to have a Cassadine presence on the show, I think...it gives us a grey hat with no mob ties, at least.  If we can't have Stefan, Val is a decent stand-in, and far better than Nikolas had been in his last few years.  I'm down for a Finn-Anna-Val triangle, maybe? They've danced around it.

Did anyone besides Alexis ever look at the will to determine its validity? Because this was during Alexis' drowning-herself-in-the-bottom-of-a-bottle-phase.

I can do without that triangle. Anna and Finn have no chemistry and are just awkward together. As far as Anna and Valentine go, they have always seemed more like Val had a childhood infatuation with Anna than he had genuine feelings for her. I looked up their ages and was surprised there is only 9 years between them. I thought it was more like 15 to 20, probably because of a combination of how they act and Finola Hughes looks older than I thought she was ( possible because of how skinny she is).

We could get real soapy and have Val fall for Sasha. Or, we corks go a completely different way and partner him with Maxie. Seems like an odd combo at first, but how fun would it be to have Maxie as step-mommy to Lulu's daughter? Then again, that means she would be parenting someone else's daughter when she rarely mentions get own. Bad idea. Moving on.

I agree with this.  Though I still think Nikolas will show up again sometime in the not too distant future (if the show doesn't get cancelled).  His "death" was written in quickly because of  Tyler leaving and it was obviously left so open-ended because they thought he'd be coming back (IMO).

Was I in some sort of stupor yesterday or did the line at the end of the show say Happy 56th Anniversary?

[Mrs. Stanwyck]

Isn't that right - I think everything I've seen has said "56th"?

Quote

Then why does the hashtag in that clip say GH#55? The usual incompetence of Nathan Varney and/or his assistant?

Ah - I hadn't noticed the hashtag.  As Cheyanne11 says, its just incompetence - no big surprise.

[Cheyanne11]

The show premiered in 1963, so it's 56 years.  The hashtag being wrong is just the usual imcompetence.

[dubbel zout]

LOL. Way to celebrate, ABCD!

[BlancheDevoreaux]

General Hospital is currently the longest running soap still on the air at 56 years. Guiding Light is the longest running soap of all time at 57 years. Therefore, I'm willing to get ABC has every intention of keeping the show on the air for at least 2 more years so they have that record.

But counting radio, GL began in 1937.

[Hater]

From the new magazine...I guess with the memory garbage, Alex makes Anna question if Robin is actually her daughter.

This will flip to Peter I am sure but next week it's about Robin.

[TeeVee329]

Oh gawd, just get to it, I want to see LWB/FS' punchable crestfallen face when the truth comes out.

@Hater do you have the new mag, the one with Lucy and Scotty on the cover?  Any intel on their "mysterious mission"?

Is Stafford still going to be playing Nina when Nina finds out Valentin lied AGAIN/Sasha is not her kid but Willow is? I assume the Valentine-Nina scenes where they are threatening and bullying Willow are a set up for the entitled, smug looks to be wiped off their faces. I would laugh if Charlotte decided she wants to live with Mommy and Rocco full-time because she can't stand Papa and Nina's break-up and get back together cycle anymore.

I am putting my money on, "This whole storyline gets dropped, never to be mentioned again when MS/Nina leaves."

FUCK YOU, FRANK AND YOUR CABAL OF HACKS!

[Oracle42]

That's what we get for not embracing LWB/FS

[Hater]

But I am pretty sure Peter will be Alex's son...so they are just putting that in there because FV thinks he's using "suspense."

[dubbel zout]

It was practically the first thing everyone thought of when we learned Anna had some of Alex's memories. Duh, Frank.

[BlancheDevoreaux]

That makes zero sense. Robin is Anna and Robert's daughter. I can't imagine the retconning that would have to go on for Anna to question Robin being hers. Will she question Robert's role in this? He has memories of Robin and Anna (not Alex) from long before this stupid storyline was supposed to have taken place. Was he supposedly duped too?  Is he supposedly in on it in her mind? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

[Hater]

They shouldn't even have to rewrite this in the first place because Wes Ramsey should have never gotten a job at GH simply because he was sleeping with LW.  

[WendyCR72]

I am so fucking glad I don't reward this shit with my eyeballs. Fuck off, Frank. And take LW's pet with you.

I actually think he's not a bad actor... I mean, he went to Juilliard. But the character is woefully misconceived and he has failed to generate any chemistry with the actors in his orbit.  He and Maxie don't look like they want to even touch hands, nor does he have compelling interactions with Anna, LuLu, or Valentin. 

I think they've done something similar with Elizabeth Hendrickson... talented actor, seemed like a "get," but don't have a thought out storyline. I feel bad for the actors and the writers, all of whom seem at a loss.

Rumor:

An actress in her late 20s and a tween girl have both been cast and start in May. Both play characters who have appeared on the show before. One is a Quartermaine. The tween’s mother will appear with her when she first appears. The mother is also a former character.

@TeeVee329 maybe Skye and Lila Rae?
