James Franco Joins General Hospital

WOW!!!!!!!! James Franco is joining General Hospital. I can't believe that. I've loved him ever since he was on Freaks and Geeks. Great actor, very good looking. Been in many movies including Pineapple Express, Spiderman and a James Dean biography. Pretty high caliber casting for a soap. Good job GH.
Apparently he will first appear in late November and then off and on for two months. Not many details on his role other than he will be playing a character who is Jason's "worst nightmare".
Sweet. Definitely looking forward to that.

All My Children Los Angeles Cast Moves

So All My Children has announced which cast members are moving to Los Angeles.
They include the majority of the cast:
Susan Lucci, who will not be moving her family to LA, David Canary, Debbi Morgan, Darnell Williams, Michael E. Knight, Vincent Irizzary who will also commute from the East Coast, Jacob Young, Brittany Allen, Melissa Claire Egan, Stephanie Gatschet, Ricky Paull Goldin, Bobbie Eakes, Jamie Luner, Adam Mayfield, JR Martinez, Cameron Mathison, Denise Vasi.

All My Children cast members not moving to Los Angeles include:
Thorsten Kaye, Ray McDonnell who plays Dr. Joe Martin is retiring.
Alicia Minshew will be on maternity leave, but is planning on returning to the show after her maternity leave.

It was previously announced that Beth Ehlers, Aiden Turner and Brianne Moncrief, who plays Colby, are leaving the show.

I'm glad the majority of the cast will be staying with the show. TIIC really lucked out with that considering how they just made the decision to move the show to the west coast without giving any indication to the cast & crew that the idea was even being considered. Time will tell if this move is a good thing though.

Greg Vaughan Fired General Hospital

WHAT??????????? Oh no. Greg Vaughan has been fired from General Hospital according to his latest tweet:
As of today, with sad regrets, I will no longer be apart of what has been a big part of me and my families life. GH and TPTB have...
..choosen to take a new direction. I THANK ALL of YOU, for the many memories we've shared and new ones to come!!! ALL MY LOVE, & BIG HUGS...
...to YOU the FANS!!! I LOVE YOU ALL MORE!!!! GV

Man, that sucks. He was the best Lucky outside of Jonathan Jackson, the original Lucky. Wow, I wonder what the new direction is.
Well, good luck to Greg. He's a good catch. I'm sure another soap will snag him up.


Update: Whoa, check this out, Jonathan Jackson is returning to General Hospital as Lucky. His first airdate is October 27. Jonathan been away for 10 years and has not kept up on Lucky during that time according to the 10/27/09 issue of Soap Opera Digest, so it will be interesting to see what he does with the character.

Also check out the 10/27/09 issue of Soap Opera Digest for an interview with Greg. Apparently Greg was called into Executive Producer Jill Farren Phelp's and told he was being fired and that he had already taped his last episode. Greg was in shock.
Interesting, since according to Jonathan's interview, his team was contacted by ABC and told Greg was moving on to do other things and the role was opening up, so they wondered if Jonathan was interested in coming back. Guess they forgot to mention Greg was not intentionally moving on.
Sounds like an attempt by ABC to boost ratings by bringing back the original Lucky, similar to the big campaign awhile back touting Rebecca Budig as the real Greenlee when she replaced Sabine Singh. Only difference is Sabine was relatively new, while Greg has been at GH for 6 1/2 years. Pretty rotten.

Winnit.com Review

I was reading the 10/5/09 issue of Us Weekly and came across an interesting article with Nick Lachey. Apparently he is co-owner of a reverse auction website called Winnit.com. Users bid on high dollar items, such as ipods, computers, tvs, sports cars, vacations, etc. and the user with the lowest unique bid wins. The majority of items are selling for less than $2.00. Very cool! You sign up and automatically get $5.00 added to your account, so you can start bidding right away. Each time a bid is placed, a fee amount of $1 - $4 is deducted from your account balance. That kind of sucks, but I guess that's how the site makes money. After you place a bid, you can see right away whether your bid is the lowest unique bid for that item. If it is not the lowest unique bid, you are given a hint as to what the lowest unique bid amount is. You can also place a serial bid, which is a low and high bid. However, serial bids are charged an extra fee.
Each month, a portion of the proceeds are donated to charity. For September, the charity is Feeding America.
Winnit.com also has a referral program. You get $5.00 for every person you refer.
Winnit.com is a very new site. It was just launched September 16, 2009. It's totally legit, so sign up, get your free $5.00 and start bidding at Winnit.com.
