Here’s some WTF news: James Franco has signed on for a role on “General Hospital,” which will have him hanging in Port Charles for two months. According to Soapnet, “He’ll be playing a mysterious character who will ... make Jason’s life a living hell.” Jason is a mobster who was once a prepster who went bad after a head injury. I stopped watching “General Hospital” after Carly 2.0 left and the rest of the cool characters turned into pansies, but I might have to start DVRing this s**t, just to see Franco have deep conversations by the dock, make sweet SFW love under strategically draped sheets, and do that awesome delayed-look-into-the-camera acting technique.

I love GH and am so excited for this! I’m also happy that Jonathan Jackson (the REAL Lucky) is coming back, too!!! Too bad Sarah Job Brown, who I love, is leaving ...

@EarthGoddess Wait, wait, he is?? But when they hired the 3rd Lucky wasn’t that to SORAS him? So now are they making Lucky younger or have Jonathan Jackson grown up that much?

@Amelia: Yes, he’s coming back .... they fired Greg Vaughn to allow for JJ to return. Kinda sucky for Greg, but I love JJ, so I’m thrilled!

@chloe: No, he apparently really wanted a role created for him on GH, so the show wrote him in for sweeps week. James France is super hot, he can still get a lot of roles.
P.S.-Never watched G.H., but I might have to just to see him and have no idea what is going on!

Damn it Chloe, I waste way too much time stopping and reading through your avatar. Despite having read it a long time ago, still makes me laugh.
