BA at Country Music Fest in Nashville June 11-14

Block Party and Autographs Return to CMA Fest

On Friday and Saturday, June 12-13, CMA Music Festival will present the ABC Block Party at the Hall of Fame Park (adjacent to Fifth Avenue between Broadway and Demonbreun). Hosted by Cameron Mathison (Ryan Lavery on All My Children), the ABC Block Party will provide entertainment for all ages. The fun-filled landscape tones down the challenges posed on the popular ABC Wipeout reality program, but wipeouts are just as likely.

There will be music too, courtesy of the Divas of Daytime: Kathy Brier and Kassie DePaiva (Marcie McBain and Blair McBain, respectively, from One Life to Live), and Bobbie Eakes (Krystal Carey on All My Children), who are making their Nashville debut as a trio. In addition to performing at the ABC Block Party, the trio will perform a Saturday breakfast show at B. B. King's Blues Club, and unplugged at the Nashville Convention Center. They will also mingle with fans at the ABC Block Party, along with their fellow stars Bree Williamson (Jessica Brennan on One Life to Live); Thorsten Kaye (Zach Slater on All My Children); and General Hospital actors Bradford Anderson, Brandon Barash, Kimberly McCullough, Greg Vaughan, Laura Wright, and Rebecca Herbst.

The ABC Block Party will also feature performances from artists including Love and Theft, Caitlin & Will and Sarah Buxton, along with trivia contests, line dance lessons, a photo booth and giveaways.

In other CMA Festival news, the Greased Lightning® Fan Fair® Hall, located in the Nashville Convention Center, will once again offer fans the opportunity to meet some of the stars and obtain autographs and photos. For the first time in thirteen years, Reba McEntire will be among the many artists meeting fans and signing autographs. Taylor Swift will be signing in the Big Machine Records booth all day Sunday, June 14.

The Durango® Acoustic Corner at the Nashville Convention Center will feature performances from Razzy Bailey, BroadBand, Don Campbell, John Carter, Will Clements, Timothy Craig, Candice Crain, Justin David, Divas of Daytime TV, Dan Evans, Billy Gilman, Ben Gregg, KC Johns, Sage Keffer, Jimmy Kish, Miko Marks, Amanda Marsh, John Arthur Martinez, The Roys, Damon Smith, Daniel Smith, Brian Stace, TelluRide, Rhonda Towns, and Rachel Williams.

Bradford quotes on Emmy nomination

Here's two quotes from BA on his Emmy nod.



"[My character, Spinelli,] was supposed to die in a car bomb, I think," says Anderson. "So getting to stay beyond that was wonderful, and now...to have this, I feel very fortunate and lucky to have a job." --ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"I feel lucky to just have a job... Beyond that, the fact that we get recognized and rewarded for doing what we love is pretty neat," said first-time nominee Bradford Anderson (Damien Spinelli, GH). "There are much tougher jobs out there that don't hand out trophies or praise, so I feel incredibly fortunate today for sure." --SOAP CENTRAL

Uh Oh

Okay. SO....

...Something happened on the Spixie message board. Although I don't understand how it happened, everyone with a zero post count was deleted. I know a lot of you guys have accounts there and don't ever post but you like the ability to lurk. We just lost over 400 members by this accident. Over a third of our members, actually. I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. I believe a lot of you are going to need to get new accounts. There's always a lot of good information on that board. The link is below...Please sign up again.

I'm actually really upset about this. We all celebrated the day the board went passed 1000 members...I remember it was back right before Spixie made love for the first time and boy we were so thrilled an excited...We partied in the c-box for hours and hours. Sigh...It was just a memorable occasion.

Enjoy the Ride...


Are you like me and you try to dissect everything on your screen? Do you sit in front of your tv and try to understand the motivations characters and future plots? My husband gets really annoyed with me when I do this. We will sit down to watch a night of tv and I will keep pausing the program to discuss what is going on. He will then look at me and put his arms up in the air like he is on the roller coaster."Can't you just enjoy the ride?" he asks...... Umm...no...Not really. But, with GH, Spixie, and Spinelli's storyline, I am going to try. Why don't you give it a try too. This is a soap. Nothing comes easy. There is no easy payout. A couple's happiness is short lived. Sometimes we get so invested in the big payout we forget the big picture. It is a soap...where you can be murdered by your evil twin and come back to life to save your grown secret child whose father could be 1 of 20 people.

So tonight think of me because tonight is Survivor and I will be trying to be three steps ahead of everything and I imagine my husbands hands will be going up at least 4 times tonight.

Sit down. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. Its going to be bumpy and it may make you sick but keep holding on. You may enjoy yourself in the end and then get back in line so you can go back on again.

Michael Fairman interviews Bradford Anderson

Lots of good stuff. There is audio and a transcript.

http://michaelfairmansoaps.com/article/articleItem.cfm?cms_article_id=87

thank you to Amy from Scrubs Hub for the heads up on this.

Feeling like a Yo-Yo.


Since the start of the year Spinelli's storyline has been all over the place. Big highs with HUGE lows. I am dizzy.


Lets review for those who have forgotten.

Maxie and Spinelli have sex but get into a major fight after when Spinelli realizes it was over jealously of Winifred. (that was good)

Spinelli gets arrested by the FBI (good)

Kate hires Johnny as Maxie official escort. (lame) Spin and Lulu share their first meaningful scenes in years. (good)

Jason and Spinelli track down toxic balls (weird) while Maxie gets drunk an kisses Johnny (gross) Spinelli gets caught in fire while going through an air duct at the same time Maxie goes into the burning building to get her essential person (riveting) Maxie then needs to be saved by Johnny (stupid) while Maxie see Spinelli leave the burning building they kiss (sweet).

Spinelli goes on the run to protect Jason and says goodbye to Maxie (ahhh) He goes on the run with Winifred (WTF)Spinelli becomes the a hacker slave to an art thief (what?) He is even handcuff to a computer(yeah). Sam and Jason save Spinelli with Maxie help. (good)

Spinelli prepares to go back on the run but Maxie convinces him to come back to Port Charles with her because she needs him (good) and she may hook up with Johnny (wtf).

Maxie makes out with Johnny in the limo after convincing Spinelli to return at his own peril (gross skanky gross gross skanky gross)

Spinelli walks around his pink room in a towel (always good) While Sam and the Jackal take care of the evidence against him (great) with Winnifred (umm ok)

Spam PI is born (genius)

Johnny tries to steal Maxie gum on the dock while the Jackal looks on (gross and heartbreaking)

Spinelli and Maxie have a heated argument (angry Spin always good) Spinelli punches Johnny (YES)

Maxie asks Jason's help to seduce Spinell and she says she is not attracted to Spinelli that way (WHAT!??)

Then we see the spoiler pictures for three weeks from now (confused)

Anyone else have whiplash?

Bradford Looking good in HD

Daytime Confidential did its Top 5 GH Actors in HD and Bradford Anderson got an honorable mention.

There is a poll you can vote in to support Bradford
http://daytimeconfidential.com/2009/04/top-5-general-hospital-actors-in-hd

Bradford has always looked good but HD Spinelli looks more like Bradford in my option.

Bford updated his "My Space".

He just changed what he'd previously written, so we didn't get the e-mails that he'd updated this time. (I didnt' get it, anyway)

It's concerning that Soap Mania cancellation stuff.

A beautiful video. It made me cry....

This is a reason I loved Spixie for over a year.....this is why


After today I am so confused and in pain but perhaps I am not quite ready to be trained to give up on them.

Call the comment line

323-671-4583 today was hard for fans today. Let them know your not falling for it.

General WTF a GH Parody. **

these are great. while I have shared them in twitter i have not posted them here. They do at times use some adult language (as a bit of a warning) but they are sooo funny. The creator is amazing.

Link to channel. <--- Guza sits down with Bradford Anderson
_____

The Greg Vaughan is truly inspired. <----

**Lindsay the expert says it should say satire.

All I want from GH...

Celebrating The Possibilities


This Spinelli Fan's Wish List:
1. I would cherish seeing Spinelli finally get the girl he is in love with. All Maxie has to say is that she's attracted to Spinelli in a deeper, more meaningful way, something more intense than Lyke Omg Hawt shallowness.

2. I would like Spinelli to become more fully rounded. Boxing him in as only comic relief when so many fans see him as a deeper character will hinder his character from growing.

3. I want Spinelli treated like a grown man. He calls Jason "master" for god sake.

4. He can be an adult nerd and still function in society. I do it everyday.

5. Even if they never go into his family back story, I'd appreciate knowing something about him beyond the random Granny in Tennessee. A stray mention of his parents at this point would astound me. We never hear anything about them.

6. I'm tired of him being limited. We've seen Bradford Anderson dominate every single piece of script he's ever been given. I can't say I agree with his acting instincts at all times, I'm not that sweepingly accepting...but I do appreciate that he is willing to bend and twist with his character. Give him the material, and let him take the character and the audience anywhere.

7. GH has a huge cast. Let's see him interact with them. Anyone else want to see him with Diane & Patrick more? Love their chemistry.

8. Spinelli's character of TODAY needs to be married to the hippie/punk I remember him being when he first started the show. And yes, that includes smoking weed. Hah. (...I bet Diane smokes...) Let's join the quirky sweet guy with the snarky trouble maker of his initial days. It's great seeing that bitter snarkiness, but it comes out very rarely.

9. Once again, Spinelli is a grown @$$ man. Let's update the wardrobe slightly. I encourage his unique style, but I never want to see him in that superman hoodie ever, ever again.

10. Take advantage of the uniqueness that is Spinelli...He can be comedic and dramatic. He doesn't need to have floods of comedy followed by floods of angst. Balance him with the occasional dramatic monologue juxtaposed with a PI adventure or sexy fantasy and tell me you don't have a next generation Luke Spencer on your hands with all of his versatility.

Ready? Hands in the circle....GO Spinelli on three! 1, 2, 3 BREAK!
