I wonder what the next crazy news will be. This week is weird.

Indeed!

I'm bringing this over from the last thread as I just posted it before the thread closed ...

James Franco Joins GH
That's right, Golden Globe winner James Franco (Spider-Man, Milk) is taking The Pineapple Express straight to Port Charles. GENERAL HOSPITAL confirmed the surprising casting news to the Associated Press hours after it had already spread across the Internet like wildfire in rumor form. GH Executive producer Jill Farren Phelps noted in the statement that it is "an honor that an actor of Franco's caliber would choose to spend some of his valuable time in Port Charles." Franco will debut on Nov. 20 in an as-yet undisclosed role and is expected to be on the canvas for approximately two months.

I'm still excited, lol.

Dude, I forgot all about JJ.

Franco took my attention

**Casandra** · 10-01-2009, 06:15 PM

This week has certainly been head spinning!

LucyHyde · 10-01-2009, 06:54 PM

Am I reading this right? JJ? As in Jonathan Jackson?!

And James Franco - who knew?! Most actors do their soap stints and then go on to the big times, he's doing the opposite! Amazing!!

**Cristofle** · 10-01-2009, 06:58 PM

Yep, Jonathan Jackson!

My baby started filming again today; his first airdate will be October 27th.

I am going to DIE when stills come out. I've kept up with JJ's other roles, but I haven't seen him as Lucky in more than 10 years. I feel like I'm 14 again! LOL.

LucyHyde · 10-01-2009, 07:07 PM

Same here!!

I'm FLOORED! Just amazing!! I have no words, too stunned

***PassionateJ*** · 10-01-2009, 07:37 PM

Hahah this title is awesome & so true

First Greg/JJ news, then Sarah Brown, NOW JAMES FRANCO!!!

Its too much for 1 week

But this proves my point & full belief that GH is the best soap out there

Hey James Franco picked it

IM SOOOO EXCITED i

him

**Cristofle** · 10-01-2009, 08:15 PM

I've said to others that the only two people that could make me come back to GH are Jonathan Jackson and Vanessa Marcil. And honestly, I truly thought if it was either one of them it'd be Vanessa. I never EVER thought JJ would come back. I'd completely given up all hope of seeing his incarnation of Lucky again. I'm still utterly stunned. I'll just be sitting around and then it'll be like "...Nope, still can't believe it!"

**Casandra** · 10-01-2009, 11:15 PM

Well the rumors are swirling that Vanessa Marcil is going to come back short term in connection to the James Franco casting. It seems like a weird connection, but who knows at the rate GH is going right now. Daytime Confidential seems to be having a field day with all the news this week though.

Leneoth · 10-02-2009, 02:53 AM

If i was Sarah Brown i would be kicking myself. Leaving the show just before a MAJOR movie star comes on!

I still can't believe it. JAMES FRANCO ON GH!

It's gonna be interesting!

I guess I am the only one that hates it that Vanessa would come back. I hate short term roles. It's like Luke being nominated yearly for his two months worth of work.

Now about yesterday, Claudia seems to know. Why else play with Dominic/Dante and Olivia. Her revelations have to wait due to Michael walking and wanting some explanations.

I know.. What's up with that!

**NikNak** · 10-02-2009, 06:54 AM

The title is perfect. Thanks for the new thread.
