James Franco On General Hospital Worlds been had colliding! Or worlds been had acting terribly but that's how you're supposed to act, and it does seem like worlds are kind of winking at the audience, or at least part of the audience, as the worlds been hamming it up?!

I find it hard to believe he doesn't actually smoke the cheeba.

With One Life to Live As this World Turns, the Bold and the Beautiful, the Young and the Restless will be our Guiding Light out of this General Hospital bed we call existence.

It feels like he's laughing on the inside the entire time, like, "Dude, I'm on a fucking soap opera. Heh." Sums it up perfectly.

i wish he had gone for it more sincerely, soap acting is an art. all the other characters really mean it, franco (as franco--love that!) should really take their lead.

His character is an artist, whose canvas is MURDER. I am guessing that he is acting to the level of the role. Um. Not that I have been watching, or tivoing, or anything of that nature. Not at all.

yes it seems like they either only play instrumental version of "mad world" or 90s skinemax music during the franco scenes. will that continue for the whole stint? tune in next time to find out...

Guys so far this is the best reason for being unemployed right now. I love that he's hamming it up and in the joke! I can't believe that half of the cast is still on that damn show, Lucas! Sony! I can't believe I remember these names! They should of also added the scene where a girl was shaving Franco and then said "oooh I need a ciggerette." I mean sure they implied sex, but I like to think that taking away Franco's stubble was enough to send her into an orgasm.

My mom read "Soap Digest" and I saw an issue lying around with Franco's face on the cover and I was like "whaaaaa" and then I read the headline which was something like "WHICH GH LADY WILL END UP WITH FRANCO??" and I was even more confused. Thank you for catching me up on all this without having to actually pick up and open an issue of "Soap Digest".

James Franco's probably just a big Zenon fan

James Franco has clearly been blackmailed. I haven't seen a more obvious case of blackmailing since Luke Wilson started doing AT&T commercials with his new heavy face.

Franco is soooo going to win that sweet Daytime Emmy he's always had his eye on.

My mom loves "General Hospital" more than most things, and as such, I know more about the show and its ridiculous storylines than I care to mention.


But this pie? So good.
