I have to say, I just can’t get into Michael Corinthos III waking up on General Hospital. It’s because Michael – the Michael who we have seen on our TV screens for years growing up before our eyes – is now magically tranformed into a bigger, much older and totally different Michael. TPTB fired the [...]

An interesting press release arrived today that I thought I’d share with you. When I saw Nancy Lee Grahn’s name in the headline, it immediately got my attention. And as I read on, it became even more interesting. As a soap fan, I have – for years – enjoyed Nancy Lee Grahn’s portrayal of the [...]

I had a fortuitous encounter yesterday in Las Vegas. Okay, maybe not an encounter…. Let’s call it a fleeting glimpse…. Do I sound like I’m rambling? Maybe that’s because I haven’t slept in 36 hours. But at the time of the encounter, er, the glimpse, I was fully awake, cognizant and had plenty of sleep. [...]

I really don’t know how I feel about General Hospital getting a makeover. When last we saw the inside of GH, fires were raging and things were imploding thanks to a bio-toxin gone wild. Hence, the rebuilding and remodeling of GH. I’m kind of a creature of habit when it comes to my soaps and [...]

The Daytime Emmy Prenomination list has been announced for the upcoming 36th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards. Check out the list below and see what you think. But remember – it’s Pre-Nom, which they will whittle down to the final list. As far as I’m concerned Bree Williamson (Jessica/OLTL) should be a shoo-in for Outstanding [...]

Is it just me… Or is the airborne bio toxin crisis that has been unleashed on General Hospital just not as interesting as past GH crises like the Metro Court and the Bacchanalia Ball? The Metro Court had me riveted from the jump and I couldn’t wait to come home each day and see what [...]

We’re entering new territory here at Soapbox. For those of you who’ve been here before, you know that we usually talk about our beloved soap operas – mainly ABC soaps. We discuss things like what actor is coming or going and what storyline or character we like or don’t like. Generally speaking, it’s about what [...]

Did you catch the General Hospital episode right before Christmas with Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) pinch hitting for Santa and Maxie (Kirsten Storms) helping out as his elf? I just loved that episode so much. It was so much fun and so heartwarming – and who doesn’t just love that combination? And it made me smile. [...]

There are two things that I could do without on General Hospital. Number one: Robin obsessing over the fact that her baby constantly cries while she is taking care of her and doesn’t cry around just about every other person on the planet. And number two: mob violence. Monday’s episode, happily, was void of the [...]

It’s been a few weeks since Super Soap Weekend 2008 ended. I had posted some interviews in the days that followed. But then came Thanksgiving and some traveling and now I can get back to some unfinished business. Namely: more interviews. I’ll start with Brandon Barash, Johnny Zacchara on General Hospital. Before I get to [...]
