James Franco, Kirsten Storms, Maxie Jones, General HospitalYou guys, we've been waiting on pins and needles for this moment, and now we have it: the first images of James Franco in his much talked-about performance on General Hospital.

 

Still no word on who James will be playing (beyond that it has something to do with Jason), but feel free to speculate away based on the image.

I think that Franco will be a relative of Frank Smith, and that some where along the way he was involved with Sam and is jealous of Jason's relationship with her and/or Jason killed someone close to the family.
I can't wait. This is going to be great.
Vanessa Marcil said that she would love to come back and work beside him. She could come back to warn Sonny and Jason again, as she could have had an affiliation with him through the Alcazar family...
Maybe Franco is an Alzacar back for revenge?
The possibilities are endless...

Well, i thought J.Franco was going to be Officer Poletti's son and the graffiti is actually the badge number....but now i'm thinking that he may have something to do with Alcazar...coz couple days ago when the showed that apt again...one of the newspaper clippings said something about alcazars death....diego was Lorenzo's son...didn't lorenzo have a crazy brotherlruis or something...what if thats his son...

franco is not FBI...he's def. related to the mob...his attire...his killer looks...his attitude equals MOB...could be jason's half brother...

Jason was not adopted...he is Allen's biological son and his biological mother was susan moore...but monica is his adoptive mom...everyone else he's biologically related to..

Another possiblity for Franco...that he's valentine cassadine's son....but then that doesn't make much sense...coz then he would have it out for nickolas and lucky not jason...

oh can't wait to find out....he looks too too old for kristina or that wud be a nice twist....franco and kristina...now that would kill alexis....her precious trophy daughter going after a mobster..u knw what they say...girls fall for men who're like their dads (personality wise)

Yes give Jason a break and lets see some heat between him and Sam. I hope Franco is his brother and no a cop again and please tell Sonny Dante is his son already. I love Johnny so don't let anything happen to him, forget about Claudia gone gone gone..move on.

I read that his character's name will also be Franco, he'll be Jason's worst nightmare. By the way, AJ and Jason were half brothers, with different mothers.

I believe that the person who has the grafitti on the wall signifies one of Jasons' old rivalries. It can not be a police officer because that would be like blackmail to send pictures of Claudias' grave. However I can say it has something to do with the new girl and guy coming to GH. Stay tuned it is gonna blow your mind....

I didn't even know he was coming on the show until I read all the comments tonight. It's possible he is Paletti's son and C077X was a symbol his dad used to represent cops, just spelled a little different. #7 on the phone has the letter 'P' and an 'X' is sometimes used to represent the letter 'S'.

I think franco will be playing a brother of jason and not AJ

i'm so excited that James Franco is coming on to GH! He was my favorite actor on Spiderman and I was so upset that he got killed off in third one that I vowed not to seee the fourth. I heard that he was going to be a childhood friend of Dominic who is a FBI agent and is obsessed with bringing Jason Down. But not sure if that's true but that's what I've read anyways. I hope he's on GH for a long time and not just for short term i hope GH gives him a full contract because I would love to see him sticking around longer. GH what would make this even better is if you don't pair him up with Lulu cause its not fair that Lulu gets all the goodlooking guys, their are other girls on the show that need a love interest, Lulu has enough guys after her she doesn't need anymore. Welcome to Port Charles James.

I think that James is going to play:
*AJ Quatermaine coming back to seek revenge.
*The son of the guy that Jason killed that Dominic looked up to.
*Jason's long lost brother (remember Jason was adopted by the Quartermaines)..
