James Franco Coming to General Hospital
Yes, you read the headline correctly. James Franco, who's starred in all three Spider Man films, Milk, Pineapple Express, and tons of other movies -- is joining the cast of General Hospital.
He'll be playing a mysterious character -- the details are too hot to share now -- who will interact with most of Port Charles and in particular, make Jason's life a living hell. Expect James to start airing on November 20th and he'll appear on the show for multiple weeks.
The coolest part about this? James approached General Hospital about joining the cast.
"We are thrilled to announce that James Franco will play an integral part in a lengthy run on General Hospital this fall. It's an honor that an actor of James' caliber would choose to spend some of his valuable time in Port Charles," said Jill Farren Phelps, GH's executive producer.
You can bet as more news develops, we'll have it here.

I can only hope this means we will being seeing and "hearing " much more from Steve Burton since Franco's character will be tied in with Jason. Burton is the real star on GH. He is so talented. I am very surprised he hasn't gone on to become an A-list film actor. GH by far has the hottest men in daytime. When all else fails at least there's eye candy. Sorry to see Claudia go. She is such a good actress. The new Michael is starting to grow on me. Glad to see the Emily twin is leaving, I don't know what it is but I just can't get with her.
I'll just wait.I'm just so happy claudia's gone. Lose the elizabeth storyline it sucks she sucks we all know she's a fast ... Move on. Find nikolas someone please and not dude OLTL has enough for all the networks. GH is my favorite soap please don't disappoint. Tell sonny about dante already we all know he will forgive olivia who else is he gonna be with?? Pls get michael some help now that he's a jr mobster. Just reread the scripts a little more if not you'll love fan to Dr. Oz lol
you'll be back when you start to miss best hair on TV to date. hair always wins...think about it.
The person singing the remake of this song is none other than American Idol runner up Adam Lambert. There is no one in music today with a voice like that - no one. He is probably the most talented singer of this century.
The song "Mad World featured on the episode of General Hospital was adaption of the song originallly featured on the Tears for Fear album entitled "The Hurting" I want to know what artist performed the remake of the song "Mad World"
I am thrilled!! This is huge!!! He is one of my favorite actors next to Johnny depp...I started watching GH as a young girl with my mom. I am excited for the show and the cast!!! Woo hoo! Bring on the hotties... Oh... and a big thanks to the casting director for Dante!!!

First of all, I'm ecstatic to see James Franco, on GH! I think James and Jason, would be Dynamic working together! May be James, should be connected to AJ Quartermaine. Knowing that AJ, switched the DNA, that Jason is the father of Michael, and not AJ. "revenge is sweet."(Elvis) =Jason!
