James Franco Returning to GH

Jason Morgan, James Franco, Steve Burton, General HospitalWe've been asking the question ever since psycho performance-artist Franco left the GH canvas back in January: when -- if ever -- would he come back to make good on his threats to Jason? Now we've got the answer: James Franco will return to the headline-making role starting June 30th.

 

Franco's return, while obviously an ominous development for Jason, is set to kick off a big summer storyline, one that will wrap around pretty much everyone in Port Charles. Jason and Dante will be forced to team up against Franco, and the show promises a chilling climax. If you thought Franco was using Port Charles as his canvas in an elaborate (and deadly) performance art before, just wait 'til he returns this summer.

 

"Working on General Hospital was a great experience," James said. "I love the cast, writers, directors, and producers. They have become a new family for me. I can't wait for the work we will do this summer."

 

"We are so thrilled to welcome James back to General Hospital," says executive producer Jill Farren Phelps. "We had such a great time with him and are very excited that he decided to return to Port Charles to take care of unfinished business."

 

Who else do you think Franco will go after this time?

I still think that Franco should go after the only woman that means so much to Jason who is Sam,He even told her that she means so much to him. Franco knows that from the first time, when he kidnapped Sam, he saw the look of desperation in Jason's eyes. That Sam means everything to Jason & Franco knows that. Especially when he thought that Franco had done something to Sam. Jason was loosing his head just thinking about losing Sam, the desperation in his eyes said it all. This time if Franco goes after Sam, Jason will really loose it especially if he thinks that Franco hurt Sam in any way. His desperation & emotions will all come out just trying to stay a step ahead of Franco, to find his one true love & finallly claim Sam, never to let her out of his sight again, & profess all his love for her, just think of all the emotions between Jason & Sam when they finally find each other. All the emotions coming through especially because (Steve & Kelly) as Jason & Sam are really incrediable actors & they play any emotions so amazing & magical on screen these two can play any scene and make it look so believable & incrediablly magical. At last Jason & Sam would profess their love to one another, whicch they really deserve.

the only person that saw Jake's paternity was Liz and after it was left outside, so amybody could of picked it up & changed the paternity. Nobody really saw the paternity just Liz so who really knows if the paternity is real. or someone changed it. Because Liz burned the results. so nobody knows if the paternity is false. when Liz left the paternity test outside she went inside to work in the meantime someone could of picked up & changed the paternity nobody knows if it hasen't been switched.

Sorry, but your info is off. Jake is Jason's son with Elizabeth. There's DNA tests to prove it, and everyone who's supposed to know does (Jason, Liz, Lucky, Luke, Laura, Lulu, Nikolas, Spinelli, Sam, Diane, Sonny and Carly), with at least one other who suspects as much (Ric). Everyone's keeping their mouth shut (including Carly-gasp) to help keep Jake safe from Jason's mob-life and his enemies. So yes, Franco wont be going after Jake- because he doesnt know that Jake is connected to Jason in any way. And no one's talking.

Franco is not going after Jake because Jake is not Jason's son.Franco is ony after the people that means anything to Jason.Liz and Jake,not!

Oh no he shouldn't spend time with baby momma, th whole point of staying away was to keep them safe. If he was to pay liz the slightest amount of attention at this point he'd turn around for a second and her clothes would be on the floor! Afte rall, why worry about her pregnancy? She thinks it's only Niks child! Cant wait till she finds out the truth and really has to think about what she's done to her "love" Lucky's child...She's so irresponsible I don't see why Jason didn't just have nannies raise his child on the island...

Claudia was shown to be alive in Franco's studio. Maybe we'll finally find out that Michael didn't commit any murder and Jason screwed up as a hitman, he never checked her body to see if she died.

i agree with the judge, they all (meaning sonny AND jason/carly) help put michael in this situation. i don't get why sonny is the one taking all the blame. carly got with jason who was in the mob and put michael's life in his hands before sonny even came back to the show. carly is a hypocrite and always has been. she acts like sonny abused her as a woman, but she treats the other women on the show the same exact way.

I totally agree. I'd love to see Franco go after Liz/Jake. It's about time Jason had scenes with the mother of his child and HIS OWN SON.
I'd love to see a Franco/Brenda scene.
I like the idea of Jason/Dante working together. But I hope Franco gives them alot of trouble. LOL

I think Franco will go after Jake, he will find out that Jason is his father. Income Liz and Lucky. Also Brenda's return will play a part in Franco plan as well. No sure how yet/can't wait
