"Pregnancy" Glow

Although now that Julie Berman is no longer on the show, I'm trying to get whatever of her Lulu pictures/screencaps I have to get them up before her replacement shows up in about a month or so from now. These are my favorite scene(s) from last year when Lulu found out that she was "pregnant" and told Dante, who nearly choked to death! It was hysterical and sweet. Unfortunately, Lulu's pregnancy was a false alarm...but the performances from both Julie and Dominic were great! They really did had great chemistry.

Back to Back

Since Julie Marie Berman is leaving Lulu behind (she'll be replaced by a Young and the Restless actress) I might as well try to enjoy her General Hospital moments while she's still on the show (she may have stopped filming but her episodes are appearing till the end of the month). I really like this photo. On twitter, Dominic said that he missed his TV wife

This Lulu Has Left the Building

Earlier this week, Julie Marie Berman taped her final scenes as Lesley Lu (Lulu) Spencer Falconeri after about 7 years being on General Hospital. Why is she leaving? It sounds to me that she wants to further her acting wings after doing a TV movie last year. From what I understand, the role will be recast.

I'm hoping that Julie would at least be there for GH's 50th anniversary- which is coinciding with the Nurses' Ball. But I'm not too sure about that because from other actors' tweets, there's been lots of fittings in gowns, costumes, etc. so I'm doubting it now. Her contract was up in November but stayed an extra 3 months. Why not stay for another extra month to be part of the anniversary special? (That could be said for Steve Burton, who was on the show for 22 years but left last October) I really thought that Julie was a perfect fit as Luke and Laura's kid- she looked like Laura but had Luke's spunk. It'll be tough for a recast to fill those shoes that Julie molded as it usually is, especially with a legacy character.
Of course I wish Julie luck but I just feel it's bad timing. Her TV mother (Genie Francis- Laura Spencer) just came back, as well as her TV aunt (Jackie Zeman- Bobbie Spencer) and the 50th anniversary. Again, couldn't she hold it for an extra month? Guess not.

This is why I don't like putting actor's names on Labels/tags on the bottom of this post-entry! Actors leave but characters stay (or they leave with them) so it's hardly good use!

Laura & Scotty Are Coming Back

It's been reported that Genie Francis and Kin Shriner will be returning to General Hospital next month, just a few months before the soap opera turns the big 5-0. These scenes were of Laura and Scott's last time on the show (around that time period) when Scott took Laura away so he wouldn't press charges against Lulu for killing his son. I guess that means Lulu will soon have to tell her cop-husband Dante the truth soon (he knows about her abortion but not her killing). She killed Logan in self-defense and she had a nervous mental breakdown. Her then-boyfriend Johnny took the fall (volunteerly)
