Here's the Scoop! 12.04.08

Claudia shows some compassion? Say it isn't so? RUMORS have the Mafia Princess showing some real emotion when she hears that Jake Spencer has been kidnapped by the Russian mobsters. What else is Claudia up to? Trying to bed her husband and ripping into her brother's girlfriend. Too bad Johnny hears all Claudia has to say to Lulu. Another wedge between Johnny and his family?

Does Sam pull away? RUMORS have Sam pulling away when Lucky kisses his girlfriend. Is this all a lead up to a LuSam break-up? I know, I'm confusing you all as there are RUMORS about LuSam making some forward progress in their relationship, a rarity on General Hospital. I think what will see is some progress with LuSam, maybe even one of those commitments we've been dishing on but as usual with GH, what goes up must come down. Don't be surprised if we see Lucky and Sam breaking up. READ MORE

One reader over at TV Guide.com seems to think Grey's Anatomy's ghostmance between Izzy (Katherine Heigl) and her very dead lover Denny was inspired by Grey's daytime cousin General Hospital's creepy, "spirited" reunion between Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) and Emily (Natalia Livingston). Here's what the reader asked, followed by a response from Matt Mitovich:

With regards to Grey's Anatomy and Denny's ghost being "real" to Izzy, this exact same story played out on General Hospital last year between Nikolas and Emily. If this ends the way that did, Izzy has a brain tumor. — Kathy

MATT: By that thinking, Izzy would then fall in love with the pretty nurse who helps her through the health crisis, and we know ABC ain't having any more of that. Besides, Grey's boss Shonda Rhimes insists that the ghost story "won't involve... a brain tumor." That leads me to believe that Izzy is, as Liz Lemon puts it, "staunchly in favor of Cocoa Puffs," and that Katherine Heigl's character will be leaving the show in a designer (and, one can only hope, Emmy-caliber) straight jacket."

Yes!

Only if it was somehow connected to Emily.

No!

Natalia Livingston (ex-Emily) was spotted on the set of General Hospital. According to reliable sources the actress was allegedly reading for an entirely new role on the show. Because this worked oh so well with Sarah Brown.

Here's the Scoop! 10.23.08

So yesterday I dropped in the comments a possible Sonny-Carly thing happening. I think the exact words were OH LORD PLEASE DON'T DO IT! They were clipped in that Fall Promo that has a lot of fans ticked off but from what I can tell it MAY not be as scandalous as that horrible Limo Sex. Memo to TPTB, learn from that previous mistake. According to RUMORS, Carly helps Sonny out of a situation. The former four time spouses are RUMORED to talk about their MOC.

Speaking of MOC... it's still looking like Claudia and Sonny make that trip to wedded bliss. Will the MOC spark another Quad storyline. The CHATTER says it will. Sonny will be in love with Kate but married to the mob while not liking that his wife is sleeping with his brother. Despite her growing feelings for Ric, Claudia won't like her hubby in love with another.

Also dropped in the comments yesterday...I mentioned awhile ago that Laura finds out about the latest Mrs. Spencer. Guess who tells her?! Scotty! READ MORE

Is General Hospital gearing up for yet another rape storyline?  Every time I post the possibility of a rape occurring, our Daytime Confidential readers cry out in outrage. Is this an overused storyline, too controversial or are our readers tired of the victimization of women on General Hospital? 

Brace yourselves Sam fans (Kelly Monaco) cause she's the RUMORED victim.  Tied into the counterfeit drug storyline, Sam McCall has gotten in bed with the Russian Mob.  Karpov takes a special interest in Sam, but he's not that interested.  Romantically speaking, Karpov only has eyes for Carly.  It's another employee of Karpov's that finds out that Sam is really working for the good guys and he threatens to expose her unless she sleeps with him.  Sam tries to put Karpov's guy off by flirting her way out of it but he apparently doesn't like to flirt for very long and the RUMORS say he rapes her. 

The storyline that made me fall in love with Lucky (then played by Jonathan Jackson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst)  was Elizabeth's rape.  Much like then, Lucky is RUMORED to help Sam through this.  Will this be a grown up re-do of that famous storyline?  READ MORE
