And the grasshopper grows....

Although I have to say I normally feel like throwing the nearest heavy object at the TV when it comes to the writing on GH recently, I do LOVE how they are allowing Spinelli's character to grow. In the past, if Jason had yelled at him in the way he did today - "DELETE IT!" - Spinelli would have been majorly traumatized and made a hasty exit. Today, he was obviously hurt but stood his ground. "Consider it deleted." This shows a major turning point for Spinelli, definitely in his relationship with Jason and hopefully with others as well. He is learning that not every moment of anger or outburst of emotion should be taken personally.

Spinelli seemed to feel the moment as well, allowing him to muster up the courage to confront Scott. I think he realized he may have pushed his limits a bit, but he's come a long way from the scared rabbit he was six months ago, and he knows it.

But leaving the bag of chips for Jason - "they help" - showed us that no matter how much the grasshopper learns and grows, he'll always have the sweet, caring side we've grown to love.

I say it every day, but it bears repeating. Writers can only put words on paper. It takes a certain caliber of actor to give it life, emotion and character. Bradford never misses the mark. He hits it...and beyond.

"I Don't Believe the Blonde One is Partial to Nuts..."

I certainly hope Spinelli is right, because Logan is definitely a world-class NUT job. I know there are "Lugie" fans sprouting up (is that the proper moniker?), but I just felt all of the Logan/Lulu scenes were so contrived yesterday. It felt...WRONG. Not just because I'm a SpinLu fan, but because it just seemed like something inserted into the script last minute. A random shooting? The "let's look at how much chemistry we have" slap by Lulu? But I digress.

The Three Stooges scenes yesterday were precious as always. What I found hysterical was the way Milo and Dillon appeared a bit "Spinellified" when they ran into the diner to apologize to Lulu. Instead of their usual attempt to try to appear cooler than Spinelli, it seemed they both decided a little "spazzing" might be just what cupid ordered to get a little closer to Lulu's heart. (Well, it's working for Spinelli, isn't it?) :) The ice cream scene was just perfection, played to the hilt by all the actors. For the first time in quite some time, I actually LIKED Dillon - but he still needs to find a new love interest. :)

I also loved that the always-caring Spinelli tried to make his Samantha feel better. Does she want to dance? Is she worried about Stone Cold dancing with the Valkyrie so long? He has such a big heart, and I'm glad the writers continue to integrate this into his scenes with every character, not just Lulu.

As always, Bradford gives 150% to every scene - verbally and with his body language and facial expressions. He lights up the screen in every scene he is in. Bravo, Bradford!

Video of the Spinlu fantasy dance.


by spencerfanfirst

THANK YOU THANK YOU

The Fantasy Dance...



This was such a funny amazing moment. Lulu & Spinelli looked great. (I bet the filming must have been so much fun) Bradford really showed off his diverse skills today. I was so thankful that the fantasy was just Spinelli's fantasy and not part of a group of three fantasies. It made it a lot more special.

On aside I was not pleased that the last moments of this episode was a shootout involving Logan. What away to ruin a wedding.

The Jackal & the Three Stooges

General Hospital started the "three suitors" for Lulu storyline before February sweeps. It started out full of humor (and at times still is), A misfit* like Lulu has not just one but 3 guys who not only LIKE her but REALLY like her. It was funny. Slowly though Spinelli has become separate from Dillon & Milo in relation to Lulu. Lulu & Spinelli share secrets, have been through multipliable life & death situations, and they have shared tender moments.

It makes Milo & Dillon seem foolish by thinking they are on the same level as Damian. (sorry boys that ship sailed)

*I realize misfit maybe a surprising word to use but I personally still consider Lulu the same (though she has grown) misfit she was a year ago.

Bradford playing Spinelli "standing in" for Jason.

That was perhaps what of the funniest things I have seen in a while. I laughed and laughed. He looked so cute with his hair slicked back wearing Jason's suit.

One of the things I love the most about Spinelli is his loyalty to his friends. He just simply would not allow Jason to be responsible for 'ruining' Carly's wedding. I honestly believe he took away the stress of Jason not being at the rehearsal and make it a LOT lighter.

I also enjoyed the scene with Jax. He seemed confidant and Jax did not intimidate Spinelli. He was honest to Jax. Jax would not have said those things about Jason with Carly standing there.

Breakfast with Bradford!

For those who have never been to a GH Fan Event before, and perhaps were considering purchasing a ticket to the July "Breakfast with Bradford and Adrian (Alvarado)" in July during GH Fan Club Weekend, I thought you might like to know what you will get for your $50.00 ticket.

First, the event is Friday morning, July 13th from 8:00-11:00 a.m. (I'm frankly terrified of not leaving early enough from my Temecula home two hours away - hope rush hour is kind to me!) It will be at Sportsmen's Lodge Event Center in the Starlight Cascade Room, 12825 Ventura Blvd., Studio City, CA.

According to my letter (which you will receive in lieu of a physical ticket to the event), you will check in at the door upon arrival. Your name will be on a list, and you must show photo ID. There will be tables with assigned seating, and you will receive your seat upon check-in.

The letter goes on to say that you should feel free to stroll around and check out all the raffle and silent auction items, photos and other merchandise for sale (wonder what they will raffle???) Apparently, there will also be breakfast foods (hence, BREAKFAST for Bradford and Adrian!) :)

The guys will go around from table to table to meet everyone personally, sign autographs and pose for photos (yay!) after the initial Q&A from the stage. NO video cameras or audio recorders allowed! They also ask that once they move on to the next table that you not get up and follow them (do people really do that?? How rude!)

I'm extremely excited and can't wait to report back on the event. If you've been hesitating about what you might get for your $50.00 ($55.00 if you purchase your ticket through Paypal), it sounds to me like it's worth every penny!

If you want to purchase a ticket, click on the title of this blog and scroll down to the event (you'll see a link for Bradford's New York City event as well, if you are an East Coaster!)

AND - if anyone knows how bad the traffic is in the Studio City area on a Friday morning, please email me directly - am I going to have to leave at 3:00 a.m.? :O

I have ONE reason for watch GH now.....

Spinelli....

I fast forwarded though most of the show today because of the absence of Spinelli (little pout).

Does Guza really think views are that stupid? Craig is NOT Jerry. Sorry no amount of rewriting is going to make it true. Lady Jane did not birth that sadist Craig. That is simple.

This one of the biggest insults to viewers in a long time.
I would have turned the TV off and deleted General Hospital from my DVR today if it was not for the hope to see Spinelli.

I am disgusted.

by PhantomMandie

Short and Sweet.

That was Spinelli's scene today. It was very nice. Seemed a bit out of place inbetween the two brooding Sonny scenes on ether end. It was still a nice sweet scene. I liked how he showed concerned of Baby Lila Rae.

Jason says he trusts Spinelli.

Anyone catch what he called her? Evilone's baby? Evil one baby? oh something like that.

oooh cute Spinlu scene alert...

What a cute scene today. They got in a little tiff and Lulu reached for his hand.
I love how Spinelli stood up a bit to Lulu.

The scene ether said two things. Lulu DOES have feelings for Spinelli or that she is playing him to get her way. I personally would like to believe it is the first option. Spinelli is such a special guy I hate to see him being used like that and I DO believe there is a future for him and Lulu.

What do you think?

Logan a Doctor??

Ok I am going to break one of the rules I have for myself about this blog and I PROMISE not to make it a habit am I promise to end this post some how related to the great and wonderful Spin. (I try to keep all posts related to Spinelli or Bradford).

Logan sucks. I am sincerely sorry to any Logan fans who may be reading this but I can't stand the guy (I really have no issues with the actor but my tiff is with the character) Are we really suppose to believe Logan (a.k.a dumb as a door nail) wanted to be a doctor and even worse (gasp) is a reader. Medical mysteries my butt. The guy is a stalker and could very well be a sociopath.

Ok ok I feel better now. The people writing this ridiculous stuff need to remember that Damian Spinelli is the brain.

Spinelli Online


One of my favorite places online right now is SpinelliOnline. It is a great friendly place.

If your a Bradford & Spinelli fan it will be your new favorite place also.

The Broken Jackal

Today we saw more evidence that Spinelli's home life was not all sunshine and apple pie. He was so surprised that Jason didn't snap at him and/or hurt him about the dent. He wanted to be honest to his friend he did the right thing but the was prepared for a harsh backlash. I think perhaps evidence of abuse.

I have seen some people question Spinelli's EXTREME hero worship of Jason. To Spinelli Jason is amazing. Spinelli can't imagine a better person to be a father for Jason is everything he wished his father to be.

I want Damian to become on a more even level with Jason. I want there relationship to be more about friendship and less about hero worship. They are both good for the other.

Spinelli's back story is one of the few things I am really interested in right now. Forget everything else this is what gets me to watch General Hospital each day.

Spinelli: Love Interest & Friend

Since I didn't get a chance to post about Thursday and Friday's episodes and now we are past Monday's episode I decided to go over some general topics i have been thinking about.

Spinelli the love interest:
I wanted to start of with this because this really bothers me. I have read in different places places things like "Spinelli can't be a serious love interest". Honestly are we living in different worlds? Who are the love interest out there? Does love have to be 'taken seriously". On a personal level for myself one of the most attractive personality traits a man can have is a sense of humor. Take that with Bradford being pretty easy on the eyes, I can't see how Spinelli isn't a viable love interest.

Spinelli the friend:
It does not take a rocket scientist to realize that Spinelli is deficient in the area of social skills. I imagine he spent much of his life on the outside looking in. Never quite clicking with everyone . Like any social misfit he clings to the people who befriend him. He is very loyal to these people and is willing to make himself look like fool to help them out and protect them.

  • When Sonny was hurt and was saying 'inappropriate" stuff in the hospital Spinelli 'covered' for him. They where so busy looking at Spinelli acting oddly that they really forgot what Sonny was saying.
  • Yesterday when Spinelli came in with the camera to film the birth of his friend Jason's child he was willing to cover again by being made a fool of (I have some issues with this scene as it being a little stupid but it still works with the topic.)
  • At Lucky & Elizabeth's wedding he was willing to make himself look foolish in order to stop Lulu from saying something about the baby (be it you agree with the secret or not Spinelli did what he did out of friendship to both Jason and Lulu)
  • He accepted Sam using him as a cover for her Angela Monroe secret (saying the package was for Spinelli not her)
  • When he go the finger prints for Logan (gag) he completely made a fool of himself to complete the task.
Spinelli is a good and loyal friend. He was willing to put his own life in risk to go into the Metro-Court.

Spinelli is a good egg.

Robin's blog entry for today's episode...

(Yes, I'm still standing in for Penny)

From Robin's Blog:

http://blogs.abc.com/

All Too Familiar
I spent most of the evening dodging dirty looks from Patrick until Sonny was brought into the E.R. unconscious. Since Patrick’s been on a short leash lately, I knew he wouldn’t have the patience to deal with Spinelli, so I tried to be the peacemaker. I don’t really know much about Spinelli other than he helped Jason during the hostage crisis. It was obvious he was concerned about Sonny incriminating himself, but the only thing Patrick wanted to do was treat him. Watching Spinelli fight to protect Sonny reminded me of another boy who once did exactly the same thing.

New Bradford Site

New site started for "The Jackal" Spinelli.

http://thejackal.bravehost.com/

I especially loved the magazine scans. Bradford has had quite a few rave reviews in his short time on the show.

Bradford is asked who he's liked to be paired with on GH.

Hi, I'm Spikey--Penny asked me to stand in for her while she was away. I hope I do this right!

(From ROCK THE QUAD) Bradford is asked who he wants to be paired with on GH. I might be wrong, but I think that this kiss shown is a different take or angle than the previous. :) (which would be good for video-ing purposes.)

"What is the secret to your Mojo?"

Spinelli sweetie.. honey.. Your perfect just the way you are. You do not need to be a mini Jason to get a girls heart. No matter how entertaining it was to see Spinelli try and evoke the spirit of Jason I don't want my Spinelli to lose that special thing that makes him Damian Spinelli.

Now with that is over wasn't today a hoot. Spinelli all nervous about Lulu falling for "Film Guy" and Dillon concerned about Lulu falling for the Jackal.

Spinelli wearing one of Jason's leather jackets.(one of a whole closet full) He looked so cute after he crashed. The helmet to the side all scuffed up. Lulu went right into caretaker role with Spinelli. She completely forgot Dillon. You can go back and forth about what Lulu's feelings are for Spinelli but she really does care about him. That is with out a doubt.

Spinelli is slotted to be on "General Hospital: Night Shift"

Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) is slotted to be on the new SoapNet show General Hospital: Night Shift.

Not sure how much we will see him but any extra Spinelli time is always good.

Thank you Jenny


I don't know if you noticed the new banner. Jenny from Spinelli Online did it for me. I love it. It even inspired the color change.

I got the giggles today.

As I implied yesterday the Dillon and Milo scenes seemed off for me yesterday and I love Spinelli, Milo and Dillon together. I was disappointed. Today was a lot better.

Milo and Dillon were funny. The scenes were just light and fluffy and I loved it. Maybe Spinelli will really get some guy friends besides Jason. (not that this is anything wrong with that relationship)

We didn't get much Spinelli (he didn't talk much during the 'negotiations' with Lulu) But it was was still great.

This is what Spinelli said to Lulu:

You're our mainframe. You Know. Our world wide web. Our internal homepage. Your the sun we are planets just revolving around you.....

Vote for bradfordanderson.net in the blogger choice awards.

We are currently nominated. (use link to vote)

the interloper leaves......

Spinelli keeps breaking my heart. What is up with Lulu? Heck even Jason. Jason just let Lulu yell at him. (though it may have been more of a screech then a yell)

I really think Bradford had another good day (though the writing was really choppy he did well)
I just don't' get what the writers are doing. They are making Lulu seem uncontrollable, Spinelli as a heart sick puppy (such a cute heart sick puppy though) and Dillon & Milo where acting like a couple of clowns. (come on Milo a gun??)

I am happy for Lulu apologizing and the hug was nice. I guess I am just frustrated.

Jason better stand up!

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Bradford's monologue to Steve Burton on Friday except - WOW. I've watched it three times. Just amazing. If Bradford isn't nominated for an Emmy next year, it will be a travesty of justice. Of course, Maurice was passed over after his amazing manic depression storyline, so who knows what the selection committee is thinking....

What I WILL say, however, is that after seeing the previews for Monday's episode and how HORRIBLY LuLu treats Spinelli, screaming at him to shut-up (especially after SHE sent him there to talk Jason into spilling the beans about the Stone Cold Special in the first place), if Jason doesn't give Lulu an immediate and stern verbal bitch slap for talking to Spinelli that way, especially after the way he just opened up to Jason in a way that was obviously difficult for him, I will be majorly upset with the writers. MAJORLY. Nuff said.

This weeks poll.

Your like the big brother I never had.

(this was suppose to be posted yesterday but I got distracted)
Spinelli broke my heart today. We got a pretty new peak at Spinelli's childhood. Less from the words but more so with Bradford's amazing delivery. I think it has been pretty well implied in the past that Spinelli's childhood was not all sunshine and roses. The simple fact that his grandmother seemed to be the one who raised him spoke volumes. What happened to Spinelli to bring him to the person he is today? I don't know about anyone else but I want to know.

I believe Spinelli's hero worship of Jason very well could be tied with his childhood. I don't think Spinelli had many people treat Spinelli like Jason does. I think he has been treated poorly by many important people in his life. I think Spinelli has projected the feelings he has (or wanted to have) for someone in his past on to Jason. I am concerned that Spinelli's hero worship is going to end up breaking Spinelli's heart. Only time will tell.

The only disappointing part about the scene was Lulu (she who I adore) busting in at the end. She has not been written in a very positive light lately.

In the end Bradford's acting was amazing. You can really see that he is a very talent actor.

The Mooner of Manayunk

I laughed and laughed through all of the Spinelli and Milo scenes. Mooner. Mooner.

I liked how Spinelli, Milo & Dillon where willing to work together for the greater good to rid the world of the evil of The Crabby Commando a.k.a The Unworthy One.

I loved how he was quick on his feet to get the glass from the unworthy one. Ok I must admit Spinelli always impresses me.

I worry about Spinelli sometimes. He seems to put so too much faith in Jason and Lulu. I feel such dread of the impending doom of one or both of them breaking his heart.(this is a soap isn't it?)

I just want to give the boy a hug.

On another note Cooper was my hero today when he punched the unworthy one.

That being said Bradford deserves our support.

I refuse to be 'trained'.

Today was a glumly sad no Spinelli day. I did take note of the people in charge insistent attempts to try and force the idea of Logan and Lulu down our throats (GAG) I believe Guza has called it "training the audience"

Logan is so cookie cutter. How many times do we have to have the same old Bad Boy character. I personally have no thoughts (negative or positive) on the actor that plays Logan I just don't like Logan.

Spinelli is smart, warm & REAL. Do they really think by forcing this Lulu and Logan thing we will forget about Spinelli....?

I refuse to drink to drink that Koolaid.

The Jackal Struggles.....

Just when I thought I was as bored as I could possibly get without falling asleep from watching the "mobster madness" that is Sonny/Jason/Alcazar and their "gals," the Jackal comes along and puts an emotion chip in Jason Morgan! Their scenes together are just outstanding. Steve Burton has a real twinkle in his eye in his scenes with Bradford (I wonder if he, too, gets bored with his storyline?) The "Lulu Has Three Dates" storyline would keep me intrigued enough, but I have to say, Steve and Bradford in a scene together is just magic. It isn't just the dialogue, but the entire shift in personality that it brings to the character of Jason - and MUCH needed, might I add. Kudos to Steve and Bradford for having major chemistry and charisma on screen together. Loving it!

My heart just went out to Spinelli today, mustering up the courage to tell Jason that, believe it or not, the Jackal may rule cyberspace but in reality...."he struggles." My daughter was watching with me (not a soap watcher herself and having never seen Spinelli before), and she yelled out "HE IS SO CUTE! AWWWW!!!!" My sentiments exactly. They could have had Jason giving a long lecture, but the answer was perfect - "listen." The chick magnet spoke, and the Jackal was grateful for the knowledge.

Between the hostage crisis episodes, the Bradford/Steve "dynamic duo" scenes, and the "Lulu and her Suitors" storyline, it has really brought it home to me how bored I had become with a soap I have watched for...well...a LOT of years but kept watching out of...loyalty? Habit? I realized that I have not eagerly anticipated watching GH for...well like I said, a LOT OF YEARS (don't ask me, I won't tell!) :) Now I can't wait to see it everyday. My fast forward button is still getting quite a workout, but if Bradford hits the screen with ANY cast member, I won't miss a second. I'm traveling this coming Monday and Tuesday and will miss the show, and I am already trying to con people into recording the episodes for me. I haven't felt the need to go that far in quite some time.

Bradford, I already told you....that daytime Emmy is coming! :)

Celebrities and charities are alike in the fact that they inevitably touch the lives of others. And when they unite together for a common good, the result is often uplifting and amazing. The 2007 Touched By A Star event was hosted in Sterling Heights, Michigan on March 24, and I had the great pleasure of attending.

Benefiting the Desi Geestman Foundation to help children and their families battling cancer, attendees were able to dine and mingle with some of day-time television’s top stars, from “General Hospital” and “One Life To Live”.

This being my first soap event, I hardly consider myself a die-hard soaper- I stand on the side-lines, not on my soapbox. But I will not lie- I went to the event with an agenda- meet Bradford Anderson! Since his debut on “General Hospital” as the quirky computer hacker Spinelli, aka ‘The Jackal‘, he’s quickly won the hearts and laughter of many viewers, mine included. So I was curious to see what Bradford was like in person.

From briefly meeting him and what I observed, I can sum the talented young actor up in one word- charismatic. I was really impressed, he was one of the first out on the dance floor and didn’t hesitate to dance with the fans, wowing us all with his ‘killer moves.’ You could tell he’s probably the life of the party wherever he goes.

One of the ladies at our table, knowing I was dying to meet him, pushed me into him in an attempt to be ‘helpful’. I was mortified and quickly apologized, but at the same time my inner fan girl was squealing. I am convinced that Bradford Anderson has super powers- why else would I, a typically intelligent person, suddenly turn into a stammering idiot?

When I did get the courage to ask for a picture with him, he was great about it, putting his arm around my shoulder. I’m proud of myself, I didn’t faint…I did, however, seem to lose the ability to say anything coherent beyond, “I love you, I really love you.” *sigh* But it gets better, folks!

On the way out, my friends and I purchased keepsake mugs, and who happened to walk by? Gold star if you guessed Bradford. The lady who sold us the mugs told him we wanted them autographed, and I held my breath as he signed his name on it with a flourish.

Then thinking I should say something, I said, “I feel like your stalker, I’m sorry I keep catching you like this.”

Either he figured I was rambling, or not very threatening, because he graciously ignored my lame fumble at the word ‘stalker’ and replied good-naturedly, “No problem, I don’t mind being caught.”

It was an amazing evening I will never forget. All the stars seemed so down-to-earth to me, and gracious with each of their fans. If I had it to do over though, I would have attempted to let Bradford Anderson know what a wonderful job he’s doing on GH, and to thank him for becoming a bright spot on the soap. I would wish him all the best in his career and future- and maybe, just maybe- I would’ve gotten up the nerve to ask him to dance.

Did I mention he has killer moves?

Lulu's choice

Lulu got her self in a bit of a pickle today.

She called Milo her 'boyfriend' to scare of scummy Logan. Spinelli also heard Lulu declare to her family that Spinelli was her boyfriend last week. Lulu just really had no clue what she wants. I was so upset for Spinelli when Lulu told him "boyfriend" was a figure of speech but he really bounced back quickly when he realized it was still a "maybe" and not a NO.

Ok so back to Lulu's choice.... Is there really a choice here? I just see one answer but i guess I am partial.

I was impressed that Spinelli, Milo and Dillon where working together to fight of the evil that is Logan.

Oh did anyone catch the cat fight between Lulu and Maxie. I was a little disappointed to see it broken up. I wanted to see how that one ended.

No Spinelli today

I can't express how glum days like this are. It is difficult for me to enjoy General Hospital with out Spinelli. He is so much about why I watch the show now.

The rest of the show has turned into the attack of the pod people with 90% of the Port Charles population going completely against who at least I understand them to be.

I must say though that Nancy Lee Grahn really shinned again today. To get a bit off topic I must express how disappointed I was she was not nominated for an Emmy for Best Actress. Her playing "Alexis Davis cancer fighter" is so believable to me.

Bradford Article in Soap Opera Weekly

There's a really nice, full-page article this week in Soap Opera Weekly on Bradford. Yep, just as cute in an interview as he is playing Spinelli! He mentions his good friend, who is an Abercrombie and Fitch model, and how their agent was putting him up for soaps. Bradford said, "what do you think about me on a soap?" Everyone laughed, including him. Now here he is!

Pick up the issue. It's great!

Thanks to Sam, Bradford's fan club president, for letting me know about the article. :)

I Think My Heart is Full!

It most definitely is - of love for Spinelli! I revert back to my post from the other day. They are definitely inserting a softer, warmer Spinelli onto the canvas and making sure to ingratiate him into the lives of more of the main characters. When he apologized to Jason for stumbling upon the information about his "stone cold special," I loved that Jason wanted to be sure that he understood he wasn't admonishing him about his findings but just telling him how he felt about the whole mess - and how much he'd appreciate it if he helped Lulu.

"The jackal is gratified by your trust." Sigh and double AWWWWW!!!

Too bad Jason didn't like his suit! LOL! Where do you find a polka dot shirt with matching tie? I envision Napoleon Dynamite picking up his "sweet" suit from the thrift store. :)

Nothing exuded how much Spinelli longs for love in this life than how overcome with emotion he was by the wedding and all its' meanings. Steve Burton's delivery of "that's nice" couldn't have been more hilarious.

Other great Spniellisms from yesterday:

To Leslie - Lulu's grandmother - "You must be the blonde one's granny. May I be so bold as to say your DMV records do not do you justice."

To Lulu about Maxie - "girl could use a decent yoga class."

To Jason describing Lucky - "The deceived one." Jason: "Can you just call him Lucky?"

To Jason: "Excuse me, I have some giant prawns to attend to."

To Jason in reference to Carly: "What's with the V-lady. She looks a little tense."

The bigger question - is Bradford signing a contract with GH? His time on the canvas definitely seems to have picked up, and that seems a good sign! The "rumor" is that he has been offered one but was thinking of declining because he didn't want to get tied to a role. Then the more recent "rumor" is that he was leaning towards accepting (as "supposedly" heard from another GH actor at one of his fan club events.) Let's hope he at least signs for a minimal amount of time. More Spinelli, please!

"Ease up Mouthy One, leave Lulu alone"


How sweet was it that Spinelli said that for Lulu yesterday.(Mouthy One LOVE IT) I don't think Spinelli will be 'tricked' by Maxie again.

I loved yesterday's episode for SPINELLI (I ignore the slow destruction of Elizabeth..pregnancy hormones)

It was full of such great moments.

How do you like my suit?

I loved him wearing the napkin bib. I bet that is what his granny taught him to do.

Welcome Evil White Woman

Rene' (aka Evil White Woman) has agreed to become our third contributor to our site. I am very excited to add her voice to this site. The lucky duck is going to the GHFCW event in July.

Rene': a.k.a. Evil White Woman. A 38 year old newly transplanted Southern California resident, owner of my own professional wig and costume business. Also moderate the Bradford Anderson fan group at MySpace Email: bradfordfan@aol.com

A Cleaned Up Spinelli?....What does it all mean?

Could Bradford have been cuter today as Spinelli? I'm with Penny - his hair and wardrobe were still plenty "Spinellified," yet had had a softer air about him. A purposeful move from TPTB? Are we looking at a gradual downplay of major geekness? Perhaps to make him more amenable to a love story with Lulu? Guess we'll have to wait and see! Let's just hope Lulu doesn't REALLY come down with some rare, flesh-eating disease.... :)

And his scene with Sam where he tells her no matter what, he'll do whatever it takes to spare her pain...well, let's just say I'm keeping THAT one on my DVR for awhile....

Bradford is really coming into his own in his role as Spinelli, and I'm shocked to admit that for the first time in years of watching (I'm not admitting how many out loud!), that I'm PROUD of where the writers are taking this character. It's obvious Spinelli has never had people in his life he's cared about so much - or who have cared about him. It's almost as though his perpetual state of "spastic nerfbag" was to draw attention to a very lonely existence. Now that he has these people who are a constant presence in his life, his true nature and a calmer, more caring demeanor is showing through - yet we still get enough of the humorous, loveable nerd we've come to adore. BRAVO to Bradford - I see an Emmy in the not too distant future! And kudos to the writers for bringing on a not-your-everyday soap character and letting him shine.

On a personal note, if anyone is going to Bradford's fan event in July (I AM!), please drop me a line at bradfordfan@aol.com I'd love to know some folks in advance and say "hi" at his event. :)

Solution: Call in Sick

You have to love Spinelli.

So Spinelli is keeper of THREE big secrets
  • Who Killed Rick Webber
  • Who is the real daddy to Elizabeth's Stone Cold special
  • Sam's Angela Monroe secret (zzzzzzzzz)
Oh on a slightly different matter I loved what hair and wardrobe did with Spinelli today. I thought it suited Bradford and was in character. (thought I always think he looks adorable)

A Spinlu -A/R video

This is alternate reality video that asked the question "What if Lulu had died"



I love the music the clips & editing was done great. Good video.

I forgot a title the first time :S

I always wonder when Bradford is in scene's with people and they begin to laugh if they are supposed to be laughing at Spinelli or they just lose it, because he's so hilarious. 'Tis a question for an interview indeed, I think.

Also, from SOW (I think the latest issue):

Bradford talks about how much he and Steve make each other laugh. and how he couldn't believe he got a job on Soaps "My Looks are quirky, you line up the guys on GH, Greg V, Steve B, Jason T, then there's shaggy haired me."

All together now: daww!

Maxie viewing Spinelli like how a snake eyes a mouse...

Run sweet Spinelli away from the evil temptress that is Maxie Jones. She wants to only violate your laptop.

Did you notice how easy it was for Maxie to turn Spinelli into putty. Looks like we have found his kryptonite. He is sucker for a pretty face.

We have been blessed with much Spinelli time this week. I hope it means will keep seeing him on our screens. Bradford Anderson is a find I hope the people who are running GH won't allow slip away.

He is involved with two fairly major story lines now. Rick Webber murder & Stone Cold's special.


I would love to hear other's thoughts on this (hint hint there is a comment feature )

Holey Toledo!: Elizabeth's baby is a Stone Cold Special

Poor Spinelli tried so hard to 'impress' Stone Cold (Jason) that he found out about the Stone Cold special. (this has to be the funniest thing he has said ever)

I really commend him in trying not to tell Lulu.

Can I still be grasshopper?

"I'll tell you cool father of the Blonde One"
Spinelli was on General Hospital today. Poor guy got snapped at by Lulu because he didn't understand what was going on. (at least she realized laster one she she hurt him. Bradford Anderson really does a remarkable job acting is in this role.

So Spinelli got romantic advice from "Stone Cold"

It is worth noting that he now calls Sam "Samantha" instead of "Goddess"

A mention in Bradford Anderson's MySpace.

This site got a mention in Bradford Anderson's MySpace blog under "Links to websites and forums!"

So if you have a MySpace add Bradford to your friends. His friend's is growing every day. It may a while for him to add you because he has been busy.

He confirmed his MySpace page in a recent issue of I believe Soap Opera Weekly.
