SOD Soap Cruise Sets Sail

The 3rd Annual Soap Digest Soap Cruise on the Celebrity Century set sail yesterday from Miami for Key West & Cozumel. Bradford Anderson & Laura Wright are on board from GH. After a Meet & Greet yesterday afternoon, fans danced the night away with some of their favorite stars. Bradford was one of the last Soap Stars still playing Black Jack when the ship's Casino closed. He's on "Pacific Time".

Also on board are Julie Pinson (ex.-Eve Lambert, PC) and her delightful husband, Billy Warlock (ex.-A.J. Quartermaine, GH) Warlock is not on the "Official Roster" of Cruise Soap Stars, but nonetheless, he was generating much interest among both GH & DAYS fans.

Today we are in Key West, and this afternoon there will be an audience-participation Soap Acting Spoof, another Meet & Greet, and tonight, the stars & their fans will have a chance to shine at our own version of "Karoake With The Stars."

I'll keep you posted.

Fan Video of the Week (1/27/10)



This week there has been an awful like of fall out in the wake of the Elizabeth-Nikolas affair finally being exposed. It seems like this might be the end for our favorite high school sweet hearts. After the jump, check out a very touching tribute to happier times in the young couple's life.



This video comes to us from YouTube user and lifelong Lucky and Liz fan jonobeckyLL2, who must be having a rough time watching the fall out of this story line. With the return of Jonathan Jackson, GH has incorporated some of the old clips of the two young love birds together, but nothing on the program can rival what this user was able to do with a beautiful score and touching scenes from days gone by. Hopefully one day when the dust settles from this latest infidelity, we will be able to make a sequel to this video featuring them both as adults and in love once more. That make take away, though.

Once again, if you think you know a video that should be considered for our weekly feature or you just have a comment or question on any of the videos that have been posted, don't hesitate to contact me at alex@ghofs.net

General Hospital Twitter Tuesday - 1/26


Hello GHOFS crew! I'm happy to be bringing you another edition of Twitter Tuesday. However, the majority of the tweets from the last week have been about the weather...

Megan Ward @TheMeganWard (Kate) I'll be auditioning for the role of drowned rat today. Wish me luck.

Then two days later, Megan followed up with...another clear & beautiful so. cal. day. life lesson: good things come from weathering the storms.

Brandon Barash @brandonbarash (Johnny) Bless LA drivers in the rain...either just as egregiously selfish or afraid their cars will spontaneously combust shall they exceed 25mph.

Kirsten Storms @teenystweeting (Maxie) Staying inside aaaaall day. This rain is no joke.... And I don't have rainboots!

Ronnie Marmo @ronniemo22 (Ronnie) The Sun is Shinning in LA! YAHOOOOOO! Have a nice day everyone!

In other news...

Megan Ward had a long week

i don't know about you, but its been a loooooooong week. going to pour a beer and watch teletubies with my 3 year old now.

Brandon Barash is outraged with overpriced beverages at the airport.

Grand total for 3x espresso&bottle of H2O at BurbankAirport...$10!?! Pretty sure JZ has killed men for less than that.

Chrissie Fit @chrissiefit (Mercedes) might be a little confused.

Has anyone else tried to open their house door by pressing the "unlock" button on your car key? Yeah, I just did that. Ridiculous.

Lisa LoCicero @lisalocicerogh (Olivia) wants you to eat some veggies.

Sorry for the no tweeting.Too busy eating vegetables in preparation for a big fat love scene. Everyone join me! Eat some vegetables! Really.

A lot of tweets come in each week from our GH cast and crew. If there is someone you would like to see more of their tweets on GHOFS, leave us a comment letting us know who.

It's A Nightmare: Thoughts on New Promo & Kevlar Christening Gowns

WOW the symmetry and irony of Sonny shooting his own first-born on the day Jax's first-born is christened. Nevertheless, could Sonny really shoot a cop in cold-blood...in his own living room, or is this Olivia's nightmare?

In the new promo, Dante, Sonny, and Olivia are all dressed in suits, presumably on their way to Baby Josslyn's Christening. The shooting appears to take place in Sonny's living room. No doubt, Sonny has a terrible, volatile temper, but would he knowingly shoot a cop in cold-blood in his own living room? That really is not Sonny's style.

Later in the promo, we see Sonny still in his suit at the hospital. Wouldn't Sonny be either on the run or under arrest if he really just shot a cop, not sitting at the hospital awaiting word on Dominic/Dante's condition? The promo also shows Sonny, Olivia, and Johnny around Dante's bedside as Lulu rushes into the room. If Sonny had shot Dante in cold-blood, would Olivia and Johnny really be standing at Dante's bedside with him? Would Olivia even let Sonny near Dante's hospital bed at that point?

Later in the promo, Dante is shown holding a gun on someone in a wooded area. In that clip,
Dante has a haircut and only a small bandage on his forehead. Wouldn't a gun-shot wound to
Dante's chest or abdominal area (as shown in the promo), warrant more than a small bandage on
Dante's forehead?

There is more to this promo than meets the eye. FBI Agent Raynor returns on January 26.
Spoilers suggest Olivia goes to Agent Raynor and begs for Dante to be removed from this
investigation. Is "Sonny shooting Dante" Olivia's nightmare prompting her to go to Raynor?

The GH promo for the current week features Michael over-hearing Dante and Ronnie talking on
the docks and Michael telling Sonny Dominic/Dante is an undercover cop. Will Sonny believe
Michael and take action based only on Michael's allegation? Given Michael's animosity toward
Dominic, Sonny may not jump into action without additional confirmation.

Clearly, Dominic/Dante is injured in some way. How, when, where, and by whom remains unclear.
This leads into February Sweeps; can GH really resist an explosive brawl at a momentous
religious gathering of the townsfolk, including special guests Father Coates and Grandma Jane
Jacks. I predict Dante is injured during some mayhem at the Christening. Note to Carly: buy a
Kevlar Christening Gown for Baby Josslyn! Better safe, than sorry.

Fan Video of the Week (1/20/10)



After a brief hiatus, GHOFS's weekly feature highlighting the best fan video's YouTube has to offer is back!. This week we ask the question, "What would the current Nik, LIz, & Lucky story line be like if it played out on the silver screen?" Check it out after the jump!



This video, by YouTube user tty1988, depicts a perfect merging of the current Nik/Liz/Lucky triangle with the major motion picture "Brothers" starring Tobey MaGuire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman. In it, Greg Vauhan can be seen pinch hitting for Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer.

As always if you like what you see or think you know a video that should be considered for the Fan Video of the Week, hit me up at alex@ghofs.net.

General Hospital SPOILERS and RUMORS - Sonny Consider's Retiring 1.13.9

Here’s a few new scoops to update you on some of the RUMORS and SPOILERS we’ve been bringing you lately.

Sonny

Coming up near the end of January, Olivia tips Sonny off that something is about to go down and suggests he leave the country - like - now! This causes Sonny to consider retiring; he then offers his business to Dominic, causing Michael to go ballistic.Soon after, Michael discovers Dominic is an undercover cop. Michael is determined to “get Dominic” who he sees him as a rival and a threat. What does he do with his newfound info? Takes it straight to Daddy! According to previous RUMORS/SPOILERS, the next thing I feel happens is Sonny puts a hit out on Dante.

Lucky
Lucky is honest with Lulu when he admits he has fallen off the wagon. Luke is also worried, he doesn’t want Lucky to travel down the same road he did. Meanwhile, Carly urges Jason to claim his son, Jake. Later, Jason tells Lucky he believes despite the fact that his and Liz’s relationship is at a crossroad, he still wants Lucky to remain Jake’s father.

Also coming the end of January
Dante confesses to Lulu he loves her
Johnny walks out on Olivia
Lulu rips into Nikolas and Elizabeth
Sonny and Dante’s confrontation ends in tragedy

New Sisters in Town
Edward’s great-granddaughter Maya Ward and her half sister Zoe arrive in Port Charles close to spring. According to some sources, Zoe is the possible love interest for Michael. Casting calls have gone out for both sisters.

RUMORS
There’s a RUMOR floating around that Maxie ends up preggers with Franco’s baby. From what I’m gathering, this may NOT be the case. So, if you are reading this, take that RUMORS with a huge grain of salt.

Also coming, one RUMOR has Olivia fainting into Sonny’s arms.


More RANDOM RUMORS
We COULD see Mac crack down on the mob violence on PC. Will this make things more difficult for him and Alexis?

RUMORS are all over the place about custody battles. I am always reluctant to publish these RUMORS because 99% of the time, they are not true. Let’s wait and see.

Liz, however is having problems of her own. We MAY see her have a breakdown at work in front of her co-workers.

Constant Changes
RUMORS and inside information for future stories is quite hard to come by these days. With constant changes taking place, I would rather be safe than sorry on what is posted on GHOFS. I’ve seen blogs around the web post SPOILERS that are actually RUMORS, or post information as fact, then I’ll see that info not actually take place. I would rather write a somewhat longer blog with an explaination and be safe than sorry.

If you have any questions, comments or just want to let us know what’s on your mind, we love hearing from you! Use the comment box below.

GH Promo: The Truth Is Exposed!

January 12, 2010

Twitter Tuesday for 1/12/10


Here's a quick run-down of what GH stars past and present are tweeting about:

Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio) will be appearing in another Web Soap called Greenville. He is also producing and starring in a Web Soap entitled Reality Bytes.

Rogers also answered Twitter questions about whether or when he might return to GH. According to Rogers, "appearing on the show has never been up to me and is only an option if you make it one." Sounds like someone at ABC Daytime just needs to ASK.

Megan Ward
(Kate Howard) made her Twitter debut this week @TheMeganWard. Megan appeared in an episode of Ghost Whisperer.

Lisa Lo Cicero
(Olivia Falconeri) is asking for prayer..."prayer that this bunk-bed I've built does not wind up on Americas Funniest Home Videos." Lisa spent some quality time putting together her son's new bunk-bed or in her own words, "had to spend yesterday building my son's crappy new futon bunk-bed with about 9 million pieces."


Greg Vaughan (ex. Lucky Spencer) is still awaiting the birth of his second child. His stint on the CW's 90210 is coming soon.

Sarah Joy Brown (ex. Claudia, Carly) enjoyed an evening of bowling and a trip to the In-N-Out Burger drive thru. Sarah also enjoyed Nancy Lee Grahn's (Alexis) "Twinging" debut. According to Sarah, "twinging" is singing on Twitter.

Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) sufferred a Twinjury, i.e. Twitter-related injury. According to Nancy, she cut her finger while simultaneously tweeting and preparing her daughter's dinner. Of course, Nancy also made her Twining debut with her Twitter Broadway Medley. GHOFS provided extensive coverage of her musical stylings in a blog below. Nancy also remains locked in battle to win the attention of Donnie Wahlberg on Twitter.

Bradford Anderson
(Spinelli) and his fiancé, Kiera O'Neil spent a wonderful weekend in Denver where he enjoyed the "best taco ever" at Billy's Inn in north Denver.

Brandon Barash (Johnny) gorged on a box of brownie pops, watched a 2-hour episode of The Bear Whisperer, and did some spring cleaning during which he happily "found his marbles." Brandon lamented news that baseball great Mark McGuire used performance enhancing drugs,
"Oh Mr. McGuire...a small piece of me died today. Not shocked, but saddened. Let's bring integrity back to MLB, huh?"
Chad Brannon (ex Zander) on January 7th, announced the birth of his son, "Ford Owen Brannon was born at 8:50 pm at 6 lbs 14.7 oz, 20 in long and he's doing great and is very handsome!"

Derk Cheetwood (Max Giambetti) is a fabulous cook and treated gourmet cook and cast-mate Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) to some of his "Bracioli" and Angel Hair pasta with lemon garlic olive oil topping with Arugula on top with fresh Parm."

Kimberly McCullough (Robin) relaxed and enjoyed watching "skaters at the new skate park and surfers on the big waves today in Venice. Life couldn't be any better..."

Until next Twitter Tuesday...

General Hospital RUMORS and SPOILERS - Dante's Reveal! 1.10.9

We originally heard earlier RUMORS that Lulu would be presumed dead. I am now hearing although that was the original plan, it has since been cut.

Dante will try to push Lulu away in an attempt to complete his undercover job and put away Sonny for good. Dante doesn’t want Lulu to be involved or for there to be any indication that she knew anything about his undercover work. But Lulu says no way, she’s not gonna have it! But as you can guess, the reveal is on the heels of all this, and everything snowballs rather quickly - RUMBLINGS suggest about 2 weeks.

RUMORS are suggesting Sonny finds out Dante is his son just minutes after Dante is shot. Remember, we’ve heard Sonny learns that Dante is an undercover cop – sounds like he put a hit out on his own son!

Once Dante’s reveal takes place, Jax will have lots of explaining to do. Things should get rather ugly between these two, although they do seem to weather any kind of storm.

As mentioned a couple days back on GHOFS, Federal Agent Rayner returns to Port Charles at the end of the month. RUMORS circulated recently that Rayner could be Dante’s boss. As a matter of fact, RUMBLINGS suggest Rayner will be investigating Franco while he also has his eye on Sonny. While we watch Alexis and Mac’s relationship slowly progress, Rayner will play a role in Alexis’ life when he heads back into town.

There’s BUZZ of two new Wards headed to Port Charles! They could first appear around the third week of January. Edward will be gracious enough to invite two beautiful granddaughters to live with him. One bit of scoop floating around suggests the two girls will be tested with Michael and Lucky.

Lisa’s passive aggressive behavior turns into manipulation. Matt picks up on to Lisa’s strange behavior. Lisa’s manipulation soon turns into dangerous tricks.

RUMBLINGS suggest she may start messing with Robin’s meds. When Robin begins to catch Lisa in her own games, it only makes Robin appear to be paranoid. But she’s not alone in her suspicions with Matt on her side.

Lucky will spiral downhill after the reveal. Luke wants desperately to save him. What Lucky needs is his mom-will Laura head to Port Charles for Lucky?

We COULD see Liz and Nik give their relationship a chance before Liz and Lucky get their act together. RUMBLINGS suggest the final plan is Liz and Lucky-they are a root couple for GH. We’ll see.

We MAY see Jason and Liz have a conversation coming up, if RUMORS hold true. It SHOULD happen once Lucky learns the truth about Liz and Nik and he starts drinking then Liz begins to spirals down. According to several RUMORS, Jason sympathizes with both Lucky and Liz. Jason’s main concern is how both Liz’s issue and Lucky’s issue will affect Jake.

Also Coming
Maxie learns the truth about Dante from Lulu.
We should soon find out Dante’s bosses knew he was Sonny’s kid all along!
Alexis prefers Keifer over Ethan for Kristina.
Lisa underestimates Robin.
Sonny is left with a loads of legal problems, thanks to Franco.
Keifer’s manipulation and fear he has hold over her drives Kristina to do something that kills her conscience.
Kristina has sex with Keifer as revenge against her father.

MORE General Hospital SPOILERS-Lucky Learns the Truth 1.6.10

Can Maxie Forgive Herself?
Spinelli focuses on his work to forget about his broken heart, but in turn Maxie feels forgotten by Spinelli. The Franco threat is two-fold for Spinelli. One, Franco is set on destroying Jason. Two, he is a painful reminder that Maxie cheated on him.

Spinelli helps Sam paint over Franco’s tags and discovers the dead body found at Franco’s studio is that of Claudia’s. Spinelli also learns there is evidence to link both Michael and Jason to Claudia’s murder.

Meanwhile, Maxie can only think about earning Spinelli’s trust back and comes up with a plan. Can Maxie forgive herself enough for these two to move on, or will Maxie cheat again?

Lucky Learns the Truth-The Hard Way!
Coming up on General Hospital, Nikolas is ready to get the heck out of town on the Cassadine jet. But before the jet wheels can spin, Ethan storms into the jet and accuses him of taking off after Rebecca. Of course, that’s the furthest thing from the truth, but Ethan is clueless. At the same time, Elizabeth learns from Alfred that Nikolas is leaving town and she heads to the airport to stop him. When she arrives, she admits to Nik she loves two men at the same time, him and Lucky. She begs him to stay, and he agrees.

Unfortunately, Lucky has finally figured out something just ain’t right! . "Lucky knows that Nik has feelings for Liz," says Jonathan Jackson in SID. "But he has no idea about the affair or anything that's happened. He confronts Nik from that perspective."

When Liz claims the feelings are one-sided, Nikolas plays along. Lucky still feels betrayed because of Nikolas and Lucky’s rocky past, and the hard work they have put into getting to where they are now.

After Lucky and Nikolas talk, Nik begs Elizabeth to tell Lucky the truth. Is it because of guilt? Not really, he wants Liz to leave Lucky for him. But at the saem time, Lucky is angry and takes his anger out on anyone who he comes across. First it’s Sam, then Jason. He apologies, then goes to find Lulu.

Lucky is looking for answers, but is paranoid because in the past, people have kept things from him, like Jake’s paternity. Lulu is shocked when she learns of Liz’s, denying she knows anything. Meanwhile, Liz tells Nik she still plans to marry Lucky.

Nikolas talks with Steven who admits he thinks the best thing for Liz may be for her to walk away from Lucky before more damage is done. Lulu rips into Liz, then tells Nik he should stick to his original plan and leave town for an extended amount of time. Nikolas agrees with her. Next, Steven encourages Elizabeth to set Lucky free.

Nikolas calls Liz to say he’s leaving town. At the same time, Lulu tells Lucky he should go say goodbye to Nik rather than leaving things the way they are. Lulu’s suggestion will lead to change forever. Lucky walks in on Liz and Nik, learning the truth in the worst possible way!

General Hospital SPOILERS - Franco/Ronnie Connection 1.6.10

New Cassadine Coming Soon
A temporary hold was put on the character of Valentine until early 2010 to be played by Matt Borlenghi. The story was put on hold due to Franco’s appearance and the return of Jonathan Jackson. Mr. Borlenghi will bring a powerful, dangerous Cassadine to the forefront of General Hospital.

What is the connection with Ronnie and Franco? Coming up, Dante gets Ronnie to finally admit he and Franco are childhood friends and that Ronnie has been covering up Franco’s tracks throughout his past. Ronnie, however had no idea just how deranged Franco would turn out to be. Turns out Sonny wants Dante to have Ronnie be the one to frame Franco for Claudia’s murder. This puts Ronnie in a tough spot. He could end up at the wrong end of Sonny’s gun if he hesitates to frame Franco OR Franco could catch on and turn the tables on Ronnie.

Who's Next?
Did James Franco’s appearance on General Hospital lift the stigma associated with working on soaps? According to Steve Burton in the latest issue of Soaps in Depth, he hopes other big names will walk through soaps doors now with the appearance of Franco on GH. He doesn’t think soap actors are viewed with the mocking disdain as in the past.

Also coming between Jan 11 and Jan 21:
Michael’s thoughts are haunted by Claudia
Dante begins to suspect Michael knows much more than he’s saying
Jason clues in on something very important about Franco, but can’t get him out of his head

Franco: Actors In Glass Houses Throwing Art Shows-Franco Returns in Spring

According to a recent Soap Opera Digest interview GH Headwriter Bob Guza claims Franco loved Sam's Glass Cage so much, he wants to buy it! Will he use it in his own upcoming art exhibit?

Since news first broke of James Franco's enigmatic request to appear on GH, speculation has been non-stop about why this A-List Hollywood Hunk would be looking for work on General Hospital. While Franco shunned interviews with the "soap press," he wrote an editorial for the December 4, 2009 The Wall Street Journal expounding on performance art and its relationship to his guest appearance on GH. Franco mentioned in his WSJ editorial, "after all of the Franco episodes are aired, my character's storyline will be advanced in a special episode filmed in a 'legitimate' New York gallery."

Now details are emerging on how this "special episode" will roll out. This week Franco spoke with New York Magazine and explained more about how his GH experience will factor into his new artistic endeavor. Reportedly, Franco told New York Magazine, he will co-direct a special episode of General Hospital which will be shot during Franco's participation in a gallery show at New York’s Deitch Projects later this spring. Details are still being finalized, and at this time The Deitch has not announced a date for Franco's Exhibition.

According to Franco in New York Magazine, The Deitch exhibition will relate "to what I've already shot on GH". Throughout Franco's three-day GH shoot, Franco was reportedly followed by his own camera crew chronicling his behind-the-scenes experience doing a soap. It is unclear whether Franco's Deitch exhibition will relate to what was shot by GH for the character Franco or what the actor Franco's own crew shot documenting his experience. In any event, it appears, even after Franco's current GH stint comes to an end the week of January 11, Franco will re-appear in late spring or early summer (perhaps May Sweeps) for this special episode involving The Deitch.

Deitch Projects is a contemporary NY gallery, and in its fourteen-year history, The Deitch has been home to some interesting exhibits including:

I Bite America and America Bites Me a 1997 performance in which Oleg Kulik lived in the gallery for a few days as a dog

Yoko Ono’s 1998 exhibition Ex It, featuring trees growing out of one hundred wooden coffins, and my personal favorite performance art piece, I Peed in the Northeast Corner of the Gallery, a NeoFluxus anti-revivalism installation lasting 27 seconds.

Jason demands the truth from Ronnie at gunpoint. Meanwhile, Franco captures Lulu. Sonny is taunted by Franco about Claudia’s death. Then Sonny orders Dante to find Claudia’s body. When Dante questions Ronny, he realizes Franco and Ronnie share a connection although Ronnie doesn’t confirm his suspicions. Dante happens upon Maxie at Franco's studio where Maxie informs Dante that Lulu has disappeared from work. Dante begins to put the pieces together after he spots specs for building a bomb in his studio. Meanwhile, Spinelli discovers that the warehouse has been rented under the name of S. McCall. Lulu works hard to stay calm while she is strapped to a chair wired to explosives while Dante and Lucky begin desperately searching for her. When Jason and Franco come face to face, Franco warns Jason that time is running out for Lulu and Sam. Dante and Jason each race against the clock to rescue their loved ones.

Michael panics when he learns Claudia’s body is missing. Sonny convinces Michael to keep quiet. Olivia tries to comfort Johnny who is upset over his sister’s body being stolen from the grave. Lisa discovers Jason pointing a gun at Ronnie in his hospital room and wants to call security. Robin steps in. Later, Lisa hints to Patrick that Robin may still have feelings for Jason. Lucky overhears Nikolas professing his love for Elizabeth. When Liz doesn’t correct Lucky, he naturally assumes it is on-sided.

Rumors & Gossips - 01.04.10

Hey GHOFS friends, Leigh-Anne’s here dropping in to give you some Gossip and Rumors for the New Year!

There's a RUMOR that Lisa discovers Jason holding a gun on Ronnie and she wants to call security, but Robin intervenes.
Later, Lisa hints to Patrick that Robin still may be holding a torch for Jason. We SHOULD start seeing what is to come with the Patrick/Robin/Lisa trio when Lisa manipulates Patrick by bringing up the wild times they used to share. Will this cause Robin to become unsecure? I would bet so. We'll most likely see Robin question Lisa's friendship with Patrick. I'm hearing it only gets worse when Lisa begins to mess with Robin's health mentally and physically!

Last week we heard Lucky will overhear Nik professing his love for Elizabeth. However, Lucky will NOT know about the affair. He will only know about Nik's feelings. Watch for Lucky to go down an abusive path once he finds himself drinking or using drugs again when he finds out about the love affair between Liz and Nik. I've heard it SHOULD be drinking.

RUMORS are out there saying Michael admits to Sonny he's just about ready to confess to killing Claudia to the police. Will Sonny stop him? Also, Kristina unleashes her anger on Sonny as blames him for Sam’s kidnapping. Sounds like this week will be shaky for Sonny.

There's also RUMBLINGS flying around that Ted King (ex-Luis Alcazar) could be returning to General Hospital sometime in 2010.
As reported earlier this week, look for one of the Wards coming to PC in 2010.

Dante's boss might be Reyner.



Jonathan Jackson's (Lucky) band Enation released their first live album, The Future Is A Memory today. You can download the album at: Enation8. Also, The Enation’s site is at Enation Music for further information about Jonathan’s group.

As far we know in real life (since last year), Bradford Anderson (Damian Spinelli) is enaged to Kiera O'Neil... This couple is planning to get married in the spring of 2010. Wishing them all the best.

Annual Actor-Episode Count 2009

Photobucket

In 2009 GH aired 250 episodes, 3 fewer than 2008 and a total of 6 fewer episodes than 2007. In the two year period from January 2007 through December 2009, ABC Daytime quietly cut more than a full week of first-run GH episodes and associated production costs. ABC now provides only 50 weeks of first-run daytime drama a year.

No surprise in terms of the Top 2 actors appearing in the highest number of episodes. They were:  Steve Burton (Jason) and Maurice Benard (Sonny). The characters Jason and Sonny were each featured in 80% or episodes airing over the past year. Of the 250 original GH episodes aired in 2009, Steve Burton (Jason) appeared in 208 episodes, 14 fewer episodes than 2008. Benard appeared in 200 episodes which is technically 3 fewer episodes than he appeared in for 2008, but since GH aired 3 fewer episodes this year, Maurice Benard's number of appearances essentially remains unchanged from 2008.

Laura Wright (Carly) had the 3rd highest episode count for 2009. In 2008, Julie Marie Berman (Lulu) had the 3rd highest episode count; however, for 2009, Julie Marie Berman appeared in 38 fewer episodes than 2008 giving her 9th place in number of annual episode appearances.
