General Hospital: Robin Is ALIVE!

It's the moment fans were clamoring for- as Robin Scorpio was revealed to be ALIVE! It's all been leading to this- an unforgettable umbrella story that will tie the fabric of the show together, while changing Port Charles forever.

As far as stories goes...I am disappointed that Robin is ALIVE from a "I am SICK OF Back from the DEADS" point of view, but there is real story potential here and I am glad they are exploring it.

What did you guys think of this twist? Let me know in the comments below

Kassie DePaiva Say's No Plans To Return To General Hospital!


Well that wasn't what I wanted to hear! The lovely and talented Kassie DePaiva has announced on twitter into a fan's question of when she will be returning, that there are no plans for her to return to General Hospital!

WHY there are no plans is BEYOND me, and goes against a few other things that I heard were in the works...hopefully they can get a deal done and we can have Blair back on my tv screen fighting after her TAWD....

What did you think of this news? Let me know in the comments below.

A Moment Of Silence For RavenBeauty



We here on the island would like to just take a moment of silence for the amazing soap spoiler queen RavenBeauty who announced that her doctors told her that her cancer is terminal.

Our thoughts and prayers go with Raven, her family and friends during this trying time.

Maxie Confesses To Killing Robin AND LISA NIELES?



It was a twist many fans did not see coming yesterday as Maxie Jones (Jen Lilley) confessed not only to killing fanfavorite Robin Scorpio-Drake, but also in a shocking storyline twist confessed to killing Lisa Niles as well!

While I cannot say I like that 'twist' in particular, I definitely LOVED the performance Lilley gave and was sucked right into the story as a whole! Now I am sure there are many more twist and turns to go before it's over, especially with Ron Carlavati writing things, but for now I am definitely going to tune in and find out what's gonna happen next.

Now on the debate side people are upset that Kristen Storms was unable to return in time to give these performances, and I completely understand that, BUT that does not take away anything from Lilley's stellar performance, she knocked it out of the park and did just as good, in my opinion, a job as Storms would have done with the material. The only difference is we, as fans, have had six years to bond with Storms and watch her develop into the loveable character that despite some awful writing we could still root for, but Lilley came in with questionable writing, under horrible circumstances and has been able to make the character into her own. The same fans wanting Storms back probably were complaining Storms first year and wanting Robyn Richards back in the role. All I can say is that I have accepted Lilley as Maxie Jones and I will enjoy her tenure however long it last, and I wish Storms the best of luck with whatever it is that has kept her away at this point.

ABC Cancles The Revolution?



It looks like ABC is going to make a revolution to ABC's Daytime lineup, as I have heard from MULTIPLE sources that ABC is has quietly canceled the floundering mess that is The Revolution.

But what does this mean for General Hospital? This definitely helps GH's chances for renewal, but there are two other alternatives in play here.

1) ABC creates a new talker to fill the timeslot
or 2) ABC gives the timeslot back to the affiliates to do with what they please.

SO how can you help save GH? Call your local affiliate and express concern for GH future and say that you are a fan and would like to continue watching and supporting the series and their network for years to come. DO NOT yell or be disrespectful to these people. THEY are not the ones in charge of making the final decision, but they do have some influence over ABC so their opinions do matter and they form their opinions by what YOU the viewer tell them.

What do you think of this news? Are you excited to say good-bye to the revolting One life to live timeslot killer? OR were you actually enjoying the revolution? Let me know your take in the comments below.

Richard Dean Anderson Returning To General Hospital?



Interesting news- I'm hearing from multiple sources that primetime star Richard Dean Anderson is in talks to return to his role as Jeff Webber on ABC's General Hospital for an upcoming story arc!

While no confirmation of this story has appeared, with Heather Webber returning, Liz and Steven being in town, and rumors heavily circulating of a big "Webber" storyline, I could see Jeff returning and if Anderson is up to it, could you imagine the possibilities?

What do you think of this piece of casting news? Do you think Anderson will return? Let me know in the comments below

Emmerdale's Danny Miller (Aaron) Films Final Scenes



It's official, actor Danny Miller who plays the lovable Aaron Livesy on Emmerdale has finished filming on the series late last night.

Tweeting: "Well with Aarons trackies n hoodies hung up.. I think I will raise a toast to him tonight for giving me 4 of THE BEST years of my life."

We here on the island would like to personally thank Danny for his portrayal of Aaron, because he has truly been a shining light on that series and provided a reason for myself and @SoapOperaBabble to continue watching, and the series will not be the same without him.

Hopefully he will come back one day, but we rest assured that Mr. Miller is off to bigger and better things! Good luck and don't forget the 'Dales because we won't forget you.

Danny Miller's final scenes as Aaron Livesy air early next month.

Looking At General Hospital's New Openings



So yesterday afternoon fans sat infront of their tv to enjoy another installment of General Hospital and were quickly ran to twitter to grumble about how "AWFUL" the new GH opening was, but by the time the episode aired online the music had already been replaced and revamped to be the Night Shift theme song.



So my question to you is what do you think of the new openings? I know it is hard to adjust to a new theme song- I am still missing the Home and Away theme and it's been missing since 2009, but in this title card world I am happy to have some music and opening vs. no music and this way we do get a few added seconds of programming that would have been taken up by the music.

What did you think? Do you like it? HATE IT? OR just don't care because you hit fast forward when it shows up anyways? Let me know in the comments below.
