General Hospital has been all over the place lately, but the latest move has some viewers outraged.
The storylines, cast changes, and other issues have put the ABC soap on thin ice with viewers, and it isn’t getting any better.
There had been rumblings that the writers were working on a pairing between Jason (Steve Burton) and Anna (Finola Hughes), but many didn’t think twice after reading the speculation.
However, that all changed when Thursday’s episode ended with Jason grabbing Anna for a kiss.
Immediately, social media lit up, and it wasn’t with praise.
Why would the writers think a Jason and Anna pairing, affair, or whatever they plan to do would work?

CBS’ new daytime drama series “Beyond The Gates” has cast soap alums Karla Mosley and Daphnee Duplaix as “Dani Dupree” and “Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson,” respectively, daughters of the Dupree family matriarch, “Anita,” played by “As The World Turns” alum Tamara Tunie (ex-Jessica Griffin).
A former model turned “momager” who gave up her career for love, Dani (Mosley) is the Dupree family’s wild child, who’s also free-spirited, headstrong and uninhibited. Dropping out of school to pursue a high-flying modeling career, she has always marched to the beat of her own drum. Meanwhile, Nicole (Duplaix) exudes warmth, empathy and compassion. Although her seemingly perfect life includes being married to a surgeon husband, not everything is as it appears on the outside… inside.

More Information About All My Children Revival
Coming back from the dead is a storyline staple of soap operas. So, it’s rather fitting that there are once again talks of bringing All My Children back to life. The ABC soap was canceled in 2011 to make room for more afternoon talk shows, which were cheaper to produce.
The beloved soap had a brief resurrection online but streaming wasn’t popular yet, so it only lasted a few months. Actress Susan Lucci, who starred as Erica Kane for 40 years, almost made an appearance on General Hospital but it never happened.

Ah, those were the days! Sadly, the soap ended its TV broadcast days in 2011, and only briefly reappeared as a web series in 2013, along with the equally ill-fated One Life to Live.
All My Children Spoilers – What Happened To Pine Valley?
Around four years ago we started hearing rumblings of a new series starting the old All My Children cast, originally Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa were going to put a new primetime soap called “Pine Valley” into production and focus on a...

Nearly four years since a primetime reboot of “All My Children” was first placed in development at ABC, it looks like Lifetime will instead become the new home for the latest happenings in Pine Valley.
Soap Opera Network has confirmed that the cable network is in the early stages of development on a series of TV movies that will utilize characters from the long-running daytime drama series, which ran from January 5, 1970-September 23, 2011.
Lifetime
According to TV Line, which first reported the news, the network is in active development on at least two “All My Children” TV movies, one of which is said to be holiday-themed. Initially, the outlet reported that talks of a revival were in the early stages, with one source describing the conversations as “exploratory.” The outlet later updated its report with confirmation from a network representative.

All My Children is eying a return, this time as a holiday movie. Lifetime is in early development on Christmas In Pine Valley, an original movie followup to the long-running ABC daytime drama, a spokesperson confirmed to Deadline.
According to sources, conversations are currently underway on the project, which is in a conceptual stage. There is no writer, and it is unclear yet which characters from the original series may be featured in the film.
Like the soap, the potential movie will be set in Pine Valley, Pennsylvania, a fictional suburb of Philadelphia, which is modeled on the actual Philadelphia suburb of Rosemont.
Lifetime is connected corporately to ABC via the broadcast network’s parent Disney, which co-owns Lifetime parent A+E Networks.
This is not the first effort to revisit All My Children, the Agnes Nixon-created daytime drama which aired for 41 years on ABC from January 5, 1970 to September 23, 2011, originally...

After nearly a month of speculation, General Hospital viewers finally know who will play Lulu Spencer.
Emme Rylan spoke about not being asked to return after her 2020 departure. Lulu was in a coma due to an injury when The Floating Rib exploded.
Several names were tossed around on Soap Twitter, but TVLine officially confirmed it.
Former All My Children fan favorite Alexa Havins will be the new Lulu on General Hospital.
ABC soap viewers will remember her as Babe Chandler, who was one-half of the supercouple with Jacob Young’s Jr Chandler.
She fits the bill, but will viewers accept her in the role after it’s being brought back four years later?
Lulu Spencer’s General Hospital storyline
Lulu is currently comatose at General Hospital following her transfer back to Port Charles from her long-term care facility.
Her liver is failing, and the search for Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) is on.

Look who’s finally waking up! General Hospital‘s Lulu Spencer, who has been in a coma since sustaining injuries from a bomb blast in December 2020, is said to be making a miraculous comeback in the near future — with All My Children alumna Alexa Havins stepping into the role, TVLine has confirmed. She will make her first appearance later this fall.
Though Lulu recently took a turn for the worse, we’ve been predicting an awakening for quite some time now, ever since Jonathan Jackson reentered the picture last month as Lulu’s brother Luke Spencer.

He was checked into General Hospital as John Doe, but we know the mystery patient is really Isiah Gannon, the man Lucky freed from being held prisoner by Sidwell. Here’s what we think will come out about him shortly:
It’s Who You Know
Gannon… Gannon… Gannon… Now, where did we hear that name before? Oh, yeah! Norah Hannon Gannon Buchanon (Hillary Bailey Smith). She came to Port Charles in 2017 as a lawyer for Valentin (James Patrick Stuart).
For decades before that, Norah was a leading lady on One Life to Live, including when Gh’s current Executive Producer, Frank Valentini, performed the same job for the folks of Llanview. This obviously non-coincidence makes us think that Isaiah’s (Sawandi Wilson — here’s what you need to know) last name, Gannon, wasn’t just plucked from a hat. It has to mean something.

While General Hospital is killing babies and The Bold and the Beautiful has a woman in a cage, Days of our Lives is… creating a fictional soap opera. And it’s the best move they could have made.
Salem Gets Self-Aware
At first, the meta mention of Abe (James Reynolds) having a favorite soap opera seemed corny, until Days decided to embark on an entire storyline set around him saving the show from cancellation and hiring half of Salem to help him do it. After partnering up with Kate (Lauren Koslow) and hiring Leo (Greg Rikaart) as head writer of Body & Soul, they went on to cast Hattie (Deidre Hall), Bonnie (Judi Evans), Alex (Robert Scott Wilson), and Chanel (Raven Bowens) as fictional characters with outrageous names like Charlemagne and Arrow.
The self-referencing has only continued with Leo in charge, once including himself with the likes of “Irna, Agnes,...

As expected, newcomer Sawandi Wilson (“Star Trek: Discovery”) has joined the cast of “General Hospital” as a contract player. He first appeared on the Monday, August 26 episode of the ABC drama series.
According to the end credits shown on Friday, September 6, Wilson’s character’s full name is Dr. Isaiah Gannon, a last name familiar to fans of the defunct “One Life to Live,” leaving many questioning if the character has ties to Llanview.
Thus far, the character had been imprisoned at the same refugee camp as Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), but later escaped and made his way to Port Charles.
Shortly after leaving the airport, Isaiah found himself hit by a car during a struggle between Linda Boyle (Amor Owens) and Ava Jerome (Maura West). He was later transported to General Hospital thanks to Jason (Steve Burton) calling for emergency services.
