Question

James Franco to guest star on `General Hospital'

NEW YORK — James Franco will guest star on ABC's "General Hospital" for a lengthy story arc this fall.

The "Pineapple Express" and "Spider-Man" actor will play a mystery person who comes to the soap opera's town of Port Charles. The recurring role will begin Nov. 20 — to coincide with November sweeps — and will last about two months.

Executive producer Jill Farren Phelps says it's "an honor that an actor of Franco's caliber would choose to spend some of his valuable time in Port Charles."

The 31-year-old Franco will star as Allen Ginsberg next year in the film "Howl."

Answer 4

Yes and it is rumored that Vanessa Marcil (Brenda) will be returning specifically to work with him.

James Franco is doing it as part of research for a film he's doing about the deceleration of an acting career. He will be a re-curring character. It should be interesting.

Answer 5

I'm excited about James Franco coming to GH. I think that he's a good actor and his presence could be a good thing for the show. I'm almost certain that he's going to be a villian because an article on ew.com said that he's going to be "Jason Morgan's worst nightmare." That makes me really curious about whether he and Jason are going to be professional enemies or personal ones. Either way it should be interesting. http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/10/01/jam…

I haven't heard that part about Brenda returning and I have to say that I really hope it's just a rumor. I am a HUGE fan of the character Brenda and of the actress Vanessa Marcil. I would love for her to return to GH someday...but ONLY if it's going to be done right. Last time she came back in 2002 they almost destroyed her character and I don't want to see the same thing happen again. If she does return I hope it's for good and I hope that the writers don't screw it up again.
