    When I got expelled in middle school. I was home all day and would watch General Hospital with my mom. Mob boss Sunny and his enforcer Jason. I think James Franco might have been on there too around that time as a painter or someshit. Possibly a serial killer, iono was a long time ago.

    1. Bold and the Beautiful
    2. The Young And The Restless

    I was always a fan of Bill Bell's writing (by the way i'm not that old in my country we received the shows a few years/decades behind.) Anyway i stopped watching the shows a long time ago they went downhill after his death. (As Marvel Zombies i would be described as a CBS Bell soap shill because i only watch these two CBS shows religiously and thought the other soap networks to be **** and cheap looking lol)

    3. Days Of Our Lives
    4. Passion

    James E Riley the great writer of camp and supernatural soap insanity. His crazy writing was the only time i strayed away from the Bell soaps. Loved him to bits.

    James Franco did indeed play Franco the artist on General Hospital and he was a killer. Once JF left and they re-cast the role, it was discovered he had a brain tumor that caused his bad behavior. If I tried to explain his current storyline to you, it would give us both a bad headache for sure. LOL

    It definitely was. My entire immediate family used to watch it back then. The DiMeras vs. the Bradys, the Salem Strangler, the original Roman, etc. etc. And I used to have the biggest crush on Anna DiMera back then (Leann Hunley).
