General Hospital Spoilers: Steve Burton Reflects On Stuart Damon’s Mentorship During His Start on Gh

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease Steve Burton had a much earlier mentor than Maurice Benard on the show. Long before Maurice came to Port Charles as Sonny Corinthos and hired Jason “Stone Cold” Morgan, there was medical student Jason Quartermaine and his father, Alan Quartermaine aka Stuart Damon.
General Hospital Spoilers – Like Father And Son, Stuart Was Steve’s First Mentor
Stuart Damon supported the Gh writers in giving Steve Burton more opportunities on the show; Maurice Benard also advocated for Steve Burton during his early years on General Hospital.
However, it was Stuart, surprisingly who played a role in transforming Burton’s character, Jason Quartermaine, into Jason Morgan; this change had a significant impact on both the actor and the character.
It is possible that Jason Morgan may not have existed if not for this transformation-the Morgan came from Lila Morgan (Anna Lee) Alan’s mother.

This is a storyline many have seen before — with Ava (Maura West) and Morgan (Bryan Craig).

During the pandemic lockdown, his ‘Gh’ soap had shut down for four months and his tour across the country for his memoir ‘Nothing General About It: How Love (and Lithium) Saved Me On and Off General Hospital’ was put on hold.
He said that while at the time what he would say out loud was, “Okay,” what was going on in his head was very different. “I ‘got it’ but thought in my mind, ‘It’s the end of the world, too’.”

3rd Secret, the grunge supergroup featuring members of Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam, have quietly released a second full-length album, cleverly titled The 2nd 3rd Secret.
Without much fanfare, the band dropped the new album on Friday (June 23rd) following the release of a new single, “Ditch.” An official live video for “Ditch” was unveiled today (June 26th).
3rd Secret feature a trio of grunge royalty — bassist Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), guitarist Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), and drummer Matt Cameron (Soundgarden and Pearl Jam) — alongside Bubba DuPree (Void) and singers Jillian Raye (from Novoselic’s band Giants in the Trees) and Jennifer Johnson.
The band released its self-titled debut album in April 2022, playing their first live performance that same month at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle.

With 23 seasons, nine victories and an unquantifiable quantity of schtick under his cowboy hat, Og Voice coach Blake Shelton plopped down in his red swivel chair for the last time Tuesday night to find out whether his team had brought him one more win for the road. And, based on the results of the polls that followed TVLine’s recap of the Top 5’s performances, the sing-off’s Goat would be raising a glass to celebrate rather than drown his sorrows: Grace West had surged to the lead over Team Niall Horan’s Gina Miles.

Eric Braeden has played Victor Newman on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless for over 40 years. The actor has won many awards for his work on the show. But before he tried out for the part of Victor Newman, Braeden didn’t even know what a soap opera was. Since then, though, he has grown to love and respect daytime TV.
And while he greatly respects the soap opera business, Braeden is aware that soaps aren’t always seen in the best light. As such, the soap veteran took offense with former Y&r co-star Eva Longoria’s reaction to a clip of her work on the CBS soap.

Bryton James has starred in The Young and the Restless for nearly two decades. But some fans might not know the soap star was a well-known child actor. He played little Richie on Family Matters.

Maurice Bernard broke into tears after being reunited with his daughter Heather Andresen for the first time in roughly five months.
If it’s one thing about Tamron Hall, she knows how to get the water works going and emotions churning on her hit daytime talk show “Tamron Hall.” Her latest guest was “General Hospital” star Maurice Benard, who appeared on the show’s Thursday episode. The host and actor discussed his career and personal life, which included a convo about his daughter, Heather Andresen.
It’s been five months since Bernard has seen Andresen, who is his wife’s half-sister and whom he and his wife legally adopted at the age of 15. Andresen’s time in the Air Force has led to the two’s long awaited reunion. When Hall showed a picture of Andresen, Bernard became stunned.

On a recent podcast episode with General Hospital‘s Maurice Benard, The Young and the Restless star Bryton James shared how he wished he had formed a tighter relationship with his on-screen father, Kristoff St. John, before the actor died in 2019. A Y&r legend, St. John experienced bipolar disorder and alcoholism in his final days. Here’s what James said about St. John and what it was like watching his co-star live with an addiction.
Kristoff St. John tragically died at 52
Kristoff St. John was a devoted father, both on and off-screen. The actor played Neil Winters on The Young and the Restless from 1991 until his death in 2019. On Y&r, St. John’s character had three children: Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), Devon Hamilton (Bryton James), and Moses Winters (Jacob Aaron Gaines).

It’s impossible to untangle Michael Jackson’s legacy as a timeless pop genius from the debate over his relationship with the children who spent time at Neverland Ranch. No criminal activity was ever proven. With Jackson gone and first-hand accounts of his conduct offering conflicting reports about the former star, the truth is hard to lock down.
The Young and the Restless star Bryton James was around Michael Jackson during his childhood and defended the singer’s reputation. He said that Jackson preferred to be around kids due to the constraints of his celebrity.
James believes that Jackson’s issues with fame were the reason he connected with children

While virtually every aspect of the Star Wars franchise is iconic in one way or another, it could be argued that its single most iconic aspect lies in its opening crawl. Coupled with the instantly-recognizable score, the opening crawl is the way each of the main saga films have started, as a way to catch the audience up to the current state of the galaxy.
With the opening crawl being used as a way to set the tone for the film, there’s an awful lot of pressure with each one. Does the crawl actually set up the plot properly? Is it fun to read, or does it spend too much time talking about taxation, trade routes, and blockades? While the opening crawls are generally a few short paragraphs in length, their importance can’t be overstated for the franchise.

As summer drags along with its big, mostly poorly-reviewed tentpole pictures, fans can at least hope for new trailers of their favorite franchise movies set for release during the holidays. Chief among these if you ask, well, everyone, is Episode VIII of the Star Wars saga, The Last Jedi. To that, Disney says, "too bad" (I'm paraphrasing).
Lucasfilm has confirmed that while they will be present at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, their presence will be limited to the convention floor and there will be no special Star Wars events. This means no new trailer. This is despite the fact that San Diego Comic-Con has long been a premier destination to gin up some buzz by dropping some new footage on convention goers. Wonder Woman had a stellar Comic-Con trailer last year, accompanied by a Justice League trailer that caused more hype than a new energy drink at an eSports event.

The construction of a Jedi’s lightsaber has long been a rite of passage within the order. It is the second of three Jedi Trials that Padawans must face. As Star Wars fans often do, they can take the smallest bit of information and use it to create theories. Through leaked gameplay of the upcoming Electronic Arts game Battlefront II, it is believed that Rey may have a new lightsaber. It should be noted that the footage is from an unfinished pre-alpha version of the game and some aspects are not finalized and may be changed by the time the game is released later this year.
The lightsaber Rey is using in the game appears to have a much different hilt than the weapon she returned to Luke Skywalker at the end of The Force Awakens. That lightsaber is the one that Luke lost (along with his hand) during his...

Cue the handmaids.
The Tribeca Film Festival announced its second annual Tribeca TV program on Thursday and it includes a range of world premieres, popular show returns and a slate of independent pilots. One of the most highly anticipated debuts will be Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

The series has been in the news lately, and not only because it will premiere soon. The dystopian story about a government forcing fertile women to become breeders for their high-ranking officials has struck a nerve among progressive women who are wary of having their health and reproductive rights controlled. Recently, protestors dressed in the handmaids’ red robes and white bonnets made an appearance in the Texas Senate gallery as its members were passing abortion legislation.

Like a divine consolation for our collective heartache, the world was gifted with an absurd volume of beautiful new things to listen to in 2016. But epochal new albums from the likes of Radiohead, Anohni, Frank Ocean, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and the sisters Knowles (to name just a few) only told a small part of the story, as much of the year’s best new music was Trojan horse-ed into our lives via the movies.

In addition to being an Oscar-winning actor, a style icon, and a Global Elephant Ambassador, it turns out Lupita Nyong’o is also a pretty good rapper. To celebrate reaching three million followers on Instagram, Nyong’o uploaded a stylish black and white video to the photo-sharing platform in which she drops a few autobiographical verses as her alter ego “Troublemaker.” She manages to not embarrass herself even a little bit, which is quite the feat for a former Yale Drama student uploading a rap video.

Rapping over an instrumental version of Nas’ “N.Y. State of Mind,” Nyong’ name-drops her current project (Queen Of Katwe), her beauty campaign (Lancôme), and her wildlife conservation work. Plus she casually mentions that she speaks four languages. Thankfully, however, Nyong’o isn’t suddenly revealing a Lin-Manuel Miranda-esque ability to freestyle, which would really be too much talent for one...

The third trailer has been released for Hell or High Water, Starred Up director David Mackenzie‘s familial outlaw tale of revenge and righteousness starring Chris Pine, Ben Foster, and Jeff Bridges. With less than a month away from release, this third trailer, shorter than the previous ones, is a more dialogue-constant approach, filling viewers into the plot instead of the pistolaro stylings of the first two.
We said in our review, “David McKenzie’s Hell or High Water is a gritty, darkly humorous, and fiendishly violent neo-western. Or, in other words, the type of film you might expect from a non-American director working in the United States. It borrows heavily from the Coen brothers and Cormac McCarthy, but it does so very well, thanks largely to a terrific script from Taylor Sheridan, the red-hot actor-turned-screenwriter who broke onto the scene last year with Sicario. It might usher in a...

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” soundtrack is among the best, most frequently co-opted film scores of the last decade, and news of further collaboration between the two tends to be welcome among cinephiles. Their latest is David Mackenzie’s “Hell or High Water,” which premiered at Cannes in May ahead of its theatrical release next month. Pitchfork has excerpts from two songs.

We Got This Covered is proud to kickstart your weekend early with some high-octane drum and bass. Black Sun Empire has already begun teasing out tracks from The Violent Five, their collaborative Ep with New Zealand-based duo State of Mind – and the latest, “Skin Crawler” featuring Tiki, does not disappoint.
In “Skin Crawler,” adrenaline-pumping vocals by Tiki add fuel to the already invigorating buildup. After several measures, a cacophonous bass drop effectively elevates the energy of the arrangement to an explosive peak sure to send everyone on the dance floor of a warehouse into frenzied motion.
“Skin Crawler” is the second track from Black Sun Empire and State of Mind’s forthcoming The Violent Five Ep. Yesterday’s markedly more dissonant “Twisted Up” can be heard below.

Think about some of the culturally propped-up differences between black people and white people, and then think about some socially reinforced differences between men and women. Not the brutalizing violence and degradation — no jokes there! — but like, how men want to look at boobies and stuff, and women are like "whatever!!!!!" Congratulations, this can serve as the backbone for your Truth Be Told spec script. White guys: Should they say the N-word when singing along to "Empire State of Mind"? Black guys: Can they listen to John Mayer? New sitcoms: Are they secretly set six years ago? Truth debuts tonight at 8:30 on NBC.The show stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Vanessa Lachey, Tone Bell, and Bresha Webb as neighbors and husband-and-wife besties who forgo all distinguishing characteristics except the desire to make worthless "jokes" about race.

Bobby Brown is getting support from Johnny Gill during this difficult time. The singer's New Edition bandmate told Entertainment Tonight that he's been in contact with Brown since his daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was moved to hospice care earlier this week. "State of mind? In a nutshell, not good. Not good," Gill said of Brown. "We just had a conversation yesterday. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy." "It was no secret that Bobby and Bobbi Kris had an estranged relationship for a certain period of time," [...]...

First-time director Mj Delaney - who grabbed attention for the YouTube sensation Newport State of Mind - stretches a meagre budget to take us into the ladies' toilets of a grimy nightclub in this adaptation of the succinctly-named stage play, When Women Wee.

Up-and-coming director Mj Delaney takes a raunchy but realistic peep behind the door where no man can venture
Getting the female perspective across in mainstream cinema has been a long slog. It is still unusual to find a young woman behind the camera as well as in front of it. But, at 27, director Mj Delaney has now put the unvarnished truth on screen. Her new film, Powder Room, which stars Sheridan Smith and Jaime Winstone in an adaptation of a play by Rachel Hirons, expresses an unapologetic disregard for the meek, self-effacing heroines that commonly earn screen time.
Yet this was not what drew her to the story. "I just thought it was funny, honest and truthful, as well as refreshingly realistic and grimy," she told the Observer this weekend.
The idea that the plot, which revolves around the ladies' loo in a nightclub, might alienate male cinema-goers did not occur to her.
