Tis the season to love Jingle Jackal

Many of you may be wondering if we were going to be doing a charity project in honor of the Anderson family this year. We have helped so many wonderful charities this year, lets save our 'change' and do something else instead.








I love and adore all the projects we have done over the years. I love how generous not only daytime, General Hospital, but more importantly Bradford fans are. In his name for various causes we together have raised over $10,000. Yes, you read correctly. Not too shabby, eh? We have raised awareness to so many causes, we have helped so many people, children, touched so many people’s lives. Some we know…know we do not know. But this year with all the changes in daytime, I think it’s time to go back to the basics.

So this holiday season I am going to ask you all to drop a Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or a New Years card in the mail to Bradford. Can’t afford a card? A note on any paper you can find works perfectly as well. Whether you are currently watching, or haven’t watched in years. This talented man, who loves and adores us, needs to know we still love and adore him. He needs to know that no matter what, we have his back. Always!

Sure the studio is going to be going ‘dark’ soon for holiday break. It does not matter. Send the card this week; send it next week, the week after, whatever. Just mail it before Christmas. If he doesn’t get it before break, so what who cares it’s safe to say that Bradford wouldn’t mind getting a holiday cheer from you even after the New Year.

Sure you can write on his facebook wall or tweet him, but if you want him back on YOUR TV screen. If you want to see more Spinelli in 2012 and you think he deserves a storyline worthy of his talent…or even just want him on more, more involved, etc. It doesn’t matter what you want his story to be, who you want him to be paired with, etc. I personally am still curious why he can't remember his cyber skills. I am loving how he is being sneaky, and has more confidence in himself. He is standing up for himself more. But why the basketball? Why was he living with Granny? Where or who were his parents? There are still so many stories and unanswered questions about this loveable character, that I want answers to. I want to know what happens next...but in order to do that we need to actually SEE him on our screens more. Sure its hard to muster up motivation when he is hardly on, and we don't really know what his storyline is or where its going...but thats the thing. Frank and Ron are experts. They make me look forward and want to see One Life to Live everyday. I also love being spoiler free for that show. I don't like to know whats going to happen.

First we need to let his new bosses know Bradford is a valuable asset to not only to daytime, but is cherished and adored by the fans. His character has touched so many fans in so many different ways. I am forever reminded of Ari (the little boy at Zanies in Vernon Hills, IL who did not attend the event, but got to meet Bradford.) His real life Spinelli. I was lucky enough to witness this encounter. Bradford was a pro with him (like there’d be any doubt). I love people watching, and I love watching certain actors with the fans. Bradford truly does adore and love his fans, no matter what their exterior or interior package is. This little boy met his hero. It’s one of my all time favorite Bradford moments. If I wasn’t already a huge admirer and fan of this man, I think I would have become one at that very second.

Screw the French hens or turtle doves, just give me Spinelli.

So let us be elves this holiday season and spread the love and cheer. Bradford is Mr. Positivity, and Hopeful, least we can do is be the good little elves next to him cheering him on. He loves his job, he loves his co-workers, he loves his fans. He wants to stay there as long as everyone will allow it. Lets give him that wish. Let’s get Spinelli (and Bradford) back on our TV screens in 2012 where he belongs. Not only does he deserve it, we the fans deserve it too.

Happy New Years, GH fans? (not really sure what GH is going to give me for my birthday... more Bradford on my screen perhaps? I'll take it.)

Brian Frons, ABC Daytime President is OUT!

Again, don't like to see anyone lose a job, but this too has been long over due.

What does this mean for GH? Especially with Ron & Frank taking over after the holidays? And the new daytime president very pro non-scripted TV? I guess we shall see what happens.

Keep supporting your favorite actors/actresses and characters.

Merry Christmas, GH fans.

Santa came a little early this year

I don’t like to see anyone lose their job, but sometimes it’s necessary (especially if it’s long overdue). When Robert Guza, Jr was let go…he wasn’t the only one at fault. He wasn’t the only one that should have been leaving. (I’m looking at you Anne Sweeney and Brian Frons & Robert Iger who clearly want more talk shows that people don’t want or need) but GH executive producer, Jill Farren Phelps was also on this list. But let’s face it; they aren’t really ever going to start making changes from the top (they will start elsewhere like most businesses).

Sure Guza & Phelps, etc brought us many of our past & current favorite actors/actresses/stories/characters/couples/etc... And I do thank them, but thats not why I am writing this. That is not the focus (and no I am not celebrating that fact people lost their jobs) I am however celebrating the fact that HUNDREDS may not be losing their job, and a genre may not be dying. That alone is worth celebrating. Worth being happy, hopeful and excited.

When Garin Wolf took over, I was ecstatic. I saw hope. I saw new life being breathed into a show that is on life support. There seemed to be more of a balance, more vets coming out that we haven’t seen in years. Everyone seemed to be involved. Though seems for the past two months, things have been in a way reverting back to the old ways. Same ol same ol everyday and several days if not weeks with out seeing certain characters or hearing about certain stories.

Well not only is General Hospital getting One Life to Live executive producer, Frank Valentini… They are also getting their head-writer ; Ron Carlivati (who was suppose to be coming before but then was going to do OLTL vie online…I won’t get into that as I am still VERY bummed One Life to Live is officially over as it in my opinion was and currently is the best one left)…WHICH means if we get two of the reasons why it kicks butt so much…either 1. ABC wants GH to go out with a bang or 2. ABC really would like to see GH survive.

I’d rather see a few people get replaced vs. even more hundreds out of a job. I haven’t seen anything that Wolf is officially out…Maybe he will be a breakdown script writer (again) or maybe he will be a script writer. I haven’t seen anywhere that he is officially out of a job. (Which is good). I think this could be really positive for mostly everyone (sorry we all know there will be changes) for everyone at GH.

Drop a little note to Bradford or his new bosses. Let them know that you adore Bradford and Spinelli and want to see much more of him in 2012.

GH on life support or almost flat lining?

Is there still hope for General Hospital?

When Guza left I was happy (not for the fact someone who told basically the same story over and over again lost their job or the fact they basically wanted the same 5characters shoved down my throat everyday). I was happy and hopeful that maybe ABC might have still been invested in General Hospital. Still cared about the fans. Issues with all ABC daytime went further than blaming the head writers. I’m looking at you all the executive producers and I am I’m looking at people even higher up then that, like you Brian Frons, Anne Sweeney, Robert Iger. I was not naïve though. I also knew that maybe they just wanted to end the show with everyone (i.e. fans) watching and being happy. Well, I sadly think it’s the second part of my thinking vs. the first.

If ratings go down vs. going up then ABC would have justification and reasons why they were canceling their shows for shows that no one is interested in (except ABC because they are much cheaper to produce) Bad, boring repetitive stories = fans will turn off their TVs, remove it from their DVR’s and well basically then the ratings will drop, giving ABC exactly (in my opinion) what they want.

Prospect Park gave millions of soap fans hope and something to be thankful for. They were going to take All My Children & One Life to Live and air them online. Seems like a very smart move if you ask me. Hundreds wouldn’t be out of jobs and fans will still have hope that their favorite shows & characters could be seen every day. For months fans have been very grateful to Prospect Park and very curious on finding out details. Sadly, just like the monsters at ABC who think viewers much rather watch Katie Couric (who is she??? I only know the name), a show about eating (The Chew) and then you eat so much you need to lose weight with Revolution. Prospect Park took away this hope. They took away this thankfulness they gave fans just like ABC did. First they did it with All My Children, and then they decided to do it with One Life to Live too. This means when General Hospital goes off the air (sorry no one is in denial here that it isn’t ending) it too will be the end. That makes me sad. It makes me sad for the genre, the shows, the fans and more importantly all the cast & crew.

When Wolf took over suddenly there seemed to be more of a balance, more characters had stories, no one seemed to be on daily. All very good things in my book. Everyone just seemed excited, happier, and hopeful. Well what’s that only saying, be careful what you wish for? I would say that ended weeks ago. Hmm what on GH am I actually interested in? The only thing that pops into my head is Elizabeth. This isn’t because Elizabeth is my favorite female character on the show nor is it because I think Becky is amazing and extremely underused.


Sonny & Kate—didn’t we see this story years ago? No thanks.

Spinelli & Maxie—though a different Maxie, Spinelli may be a little more clever with Maxie, a little more confident, etc BUT he is still chasing her. We have seen this before. He may be doing this basketball twirl thingy & no computer skills. I rather Jackal PI come back, at least they showed him at least once a week.

Luke/Tracey/Anthony—Move this story along already. Send Luke on another adventure.

Shawn & Carly—how many times will they have the SAME conversation?

Sam/Jason/Franco—rape/fake rape to get Jason to react to this psychopath…Er no thanks. Actually no thanks to anything Franco is ever involved in. A smidge different scenario with the same content…Get Jason to react. A little different set up, but same story. No thanks.

Michael/Abby—I thought each of them were getting a new love interest back in July. That hasn’t happened nor do we really ever see them. They have the same conversation about her past, his past and his father all the time. No thanks.

Lucky--Seriously he should have been paired with Elizabeth already.

Matt—finally we see him. That’s a good thing, but really what’s his story? He is on, but doesn’t really have one.

Olivia/Steve/Maggie/Robin/Patrick—Ok so Olivia all she does is meddling in Lulu & Dante’s relationship and insist she isn’t pregnant. Boring. And she & Steve seem to talk about Memphis…a lot. Move the story along already. And Maggie, er should she actually be allowed to see patients without actually be on staff? Tsk Tsk Chief Scorpio.

Ethan—Ethan talks to himself. Um let’s see the lady in white already.
Lucky talks to dead people instead of being hooked back up with Elizabeth (that fans have been waiting years for). Um no wonder why his portrayer is leaving. Don’t blame him at all.

Edward/Monica—think we have seen more of them since Wolf took over then we have since 2007. Thanks Wolf!

Elizabeth—this could be interesting…not sure yet really where it’s headed. So we shall wait and see. BUT it’s like the only story that has my interest right now.

Robin/Patrick—Really does look like they are gonna kill Robin off. I disapprove.

Lulu/Dante- OMG seriously they have been repetitive for MONTHS, or maybe even longer then that (ok maybe they are just so boring). Seriously she has issues with him being a cop NOW? Seriously? Lame.

Johnny/Anthony-- doesnt matter what they are doing or saying. They each are on so little these days (like Elizabeth & Spinelli) I am just grateful when they are on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5-K-BoL_m0&feature=share

11/15/11 Spinelli recap

Writer: Michele Val Jean

Spinelli is on phone with Max. Blah blah blah who cares about Sonny's missing money. He is also speaking bout the betting. He doesnt know how he knows, he just does. Spinelli gives Sam a surprise. He says his heart was filled with joy like none other, besides his own non-wedding. He has chinese food for her. He is estatic that they went to their happy place to celebrate.

Spinelli wants details. He doesnt want intimate details. He is happy for them. Sam says they kept to themselves. Spinelli notices Sam's necklace. He says it represents fertility. He wants to know if they should be expecting a child in the near future.

Spinelli is excited about a baby. Sam wants to know about the buisness. He says he lacks his cyber skills. Sam says they will come back. Spinelli says he has new abilities to emerge. Sam says dont tell me I am gonna lose my partner to the NBA. He also says he will vacate his room. Sam says absolutely not.

He is flattered, he doesnt get why. Sam says its the way they like it. He says Stone Cold changed. He thinks Jason wants him gone. Sam says they like having him there. Spinelli doesnt want to be the third wheel. Sam says nothing has changed.

http://spinelli-gh.livejournal.com/3157609.html

Happy 5 Years on GH, Bradford

Can you believe this weekend marks the 5th anniversary of the first time we 'met' Spinelli? I can no longer imagine turning GH on with out the hopes of possibly maybe seeing Bradford on my screen (and not being happy when he isn't). Over the years I have met a lot of fantastic (and well people I'd rather never see again) because of GH, because of certain characters, couples, actors on this show. Bradford and Spinelli (and Spixie) are of course all part of this.

There are a lot of things I would change about GH, a lot of characters I'd get rid of, and a lot of stories I would love for them to tell (and showcase the amazing talent that Bradford has) but we aren't going to get into all that today... Today we celebrate. Today we remember all our favorite Spinelli and Bradford moments. Today we toast and honor a fantastic man who adores and appreciates his fans, just as much as they adore and appreicate him. If I had a hat on, I'd take it off to you, Mr. Anderson. So today, in honor of our favorite Jackal raise your orange pop (sorry we don't call it soda in the midwest), or open that bottle of your favorite wine (nevermind the fact that its not even 8 am yet) and toast the greatness of Bradford. And the greatness that he brings to Spinelli. I can not imagine anyone else being able to pull off what he does. I also can not believe the fools at the academy have not honored him and his brillance by giving him an Emmy. But as fans we don't need our guy to have an award to know he is talented, accepted, brillant, worthy, and all around as that New Hampshire dude would say 'wicked awesome', we already know he is all these things and then some. I can't wait to see what happens next for him, his career and of course Spinelli.

Congratulations Bradford!!!!!

And to all the fans who love and adore Bradford & Spinelli (and even to the ones who dispise the character) thank you for taking this journey of the past 5 years. This man truly does have the best, the greatest, most honest, generous, loyal and loving fanbase.

Recap of Port Chuck shows

I may be biased but my fave part of this recap comes in at about 1:20 (hint look whose singing lead)

Can't wait to hear their 'original' songs in 2012

http://vimeo.com/30881095

Remember last Christmas we supported little Abby who was diagnosed with LOHN (a disease in which she was/is losing her vision?) for our 2010 Bradford/Anderson family Christmas project...

Well today at 4 pm MTV is featuring a young man who also has LOHN on "True Life: I am losing my sight" Check it out if you want more info on what LOHN is and what its like to suddenly go from being able to see to visionless.

10/31/11

Spinelli goes to Crimson with the basketball. Maxie says something about how she will use a real one for the campaign, basically he can have it. Something about hoping to have an invite from her man friend. He says he just wanted to stop by to wish her a happy birthday.

He says something about a proper invitation that maybe he forgot. Spinelli is saying maybe he isnt interested. Spinelli is spinning around the basketball. Maxie is clueless, not paying any attention to him. Maxie says you can't take no for an answer. Spinelli says no I guess you can't.

He said well if the plans change, she said they won't. He said she deserves something spectacular....He starts to leave. He is spinning the bball when he says greetings paternal one to Mac on his way out. Mac isnt rude to him. He says hi to you to. Spinelli gets on elevator and Mac asks Maxie if he has always been able to do that. Maxie thinks its something you wake up from a coma and you can like magically do.

Maxie is waiting outside for a romantic dinner...

A clown is sitting on the steps at the hospital & sees Steve. (Hi Spinelli's mommy & daddy)

Congratulations!!!! ITS A BOY?

(This isn't a spoiler or anything like that, just going by the very small information we have heard from legit sources (such as the soap magazines and what has been said by certain characters on canvas already)



Congratulations Steve & Maggie...

ITS A BOY!!!!!




Proud Mama--Maggie



Proud Papa--Steve Webber.
Grandparents: Jeff Webber/Heather Grant. Great-Grandparents: Audrey (step) & Steve Hardy & Jonas & Alice Grant. Aunts: Sarah & Elizabeth. Cousins: Cameron, Jake, Aiden.

The only thing I enjoyed about General Hospital this week (yes its sad) is that the more I hear...the more I am truly thinking Steven Webber & Maggie (who is a pediatrician)

If I am suppose to believe Dante is younger then Olivia (yes I know Dom is younger then Lisa, but I think he looks at least 10 years older then her) then yes Steve easily can be Spinelli's father.

Why did Spinelli live with his Granny in TENNESSEE? Why won't Steve speak about TENNESSEE? What happend with this Maggie chick in TENNESSEE? Could they have just been starting out med school? Perhaps even before that? Seems like soaps always throw in that random time (even years later...think Olivia (really Sonny though), Alexis, etc) of when a character who has been on canvas for years got pregnant in high school. Easily possible. It would build a core family on the show that I have been missing. It would build history. They wouldnt have to re-write Steve or even Spinelli's history as we like know squat.

Spinelli loves babies. Is it because he is attached to all babies and knows what its like to grow up with out both parents?

According to SID her first air date is November 10.

10/21/11 recap

Writer: Nathan Fissel

Blah blah blah Maxie says the same thing over and over again.

Maxie goes on and on about Elizabeth and Matt. Maxie says there is no decision. Matt is hers. She is bashing Elizabeth. Maxie wants to be in the spot light, says she deserves it. She wants off this rock. Spinelli says this place may not be as deserted as it may seem.

Maxie won't shut up she is going on and on about whatever she is saying (sorry its the same ol tune and the voice irks me....guess I can tune her out pretty well) and isn't letting Spinelli speak, as usual. Jackal PI would have kissed her by now to shut her up. Spinelli is talking about the light. Maxie thinks its a distraction as it was his idea to be alone. He says yes, but he doesnt think they are alone.

You know whats more interesting then this story??? The fact Steve has a secret. He doesnt want to talk about Tennessee. Maggie is a doctor from Tennessee and Spinelli live in Tennessee with his Granny. perhaps Maggie & Steven were just starting college, and or Steve doesnt even know, thinks she lost the baby.....And boom granny raises the child so mom could go to school

Spinelli senses there is saddness & whatever there. She says ya think. He wasnt talking about her. Spinelli is freaking her out. She doesnt want ghost stories from his Gradma. She doesnt want to hear about the black and white ball. She wants a phone and she wants help.

Spinelli says sees we arent alone. Spinelli wants to go forward. Maxie thinks this is a fake mystrey so they wont make it to the boat. She says its not the time to make romance. He says is there an opertune time to romance? She says no. She says you are focusing on her, she is happy to help her. She says the romance thing doesnt work out. He says he feels like he has been upgraded to Jackal 2.0. He is different. He doesnt know who he will be or what he can do yet. He isnt sure if he wants the cyber part back. He feels more brave, etc. They hear a noise. He says he wasnt kidding about the noise. thinks its a good time to test out Jackal 2.0 and Maxie gets in front of him and says dont.

Even if this was Kirsten....I do not want to see Spinelli chasing Maxie Yet again. been there done that several times. MOVE ON.

He wants to go exploring, she wants to stop a drunk mother of 3 going for number 4. Maxie says they need to focus. She orders him around. To go get gas for the boat.

Ok Ethan is doing a Cassadine story...Whatever happend to the stuff Alexis & Molly talked about months ago???? While Kirsten was getting better, Spinelli could have had a story with Steve *his daddy* and Alexis/Molly/Ethan and drunk Lulu.

Spinelli has the gas can. Not really sure whatelse was said. this show all around is kinda 'hard' to actually watch these several past few days. She thanked him for something, said maybe another time. Wants him to drop her off then leave
