Two producers who attempted to make a biopic about Roberto Clemente are now suing the baseball legend’s sons, alleging that the family twice sold the rights to Clemente’s life story.
Producers Jonah Hirsch and Angel Munoz announced plans in March 2023 to adapt the family-written biography, “Clemente: The True Legacy of an Undying Hero,” into a feature film. But after the announcement, the pair discovered that Thomas Tull, the former CEO of Legendary Pictures, was developing his own Clemente feature.
Legendary, which produced “42,” starring Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson, had optioned Clemente’s life rights in 2015, intending to produce a film based on the David Maraniss biography “Clemente: The Passion and Grace of Baseball’s Last Hero.”
According to the suit, the Clemente family initially claimed that Legendary had failed to make a payment, causing the life rights to revert back to the family. But that turned out to be untrue,...

The crowdfunding goal is set at $100,000 and has exceeded $83,900 from 800 donations and counting.

A crowdfunding campaign has been launched in support of the family of Johnny Wactor, the former General Hospital star fatally shot Saturday in downtown Los Angeles by a masked assailant as they attempted to steal his car’s catalytic converter.
The GoFundMe page was set up by Michaelle Kind, Wactor’s godmother, and was endorsed by his mother, Scarlett Wactor. “I want to raise money for his mother, Scarlett, and his brothers, Lance and Grant, to be able to travel the distance of 2,000 miles (the many times it may take) to take care of this heartbreaking business which they have been sentenced,” writes Kind. “With God‘s will, the killer will be arrested and the family will see him face to face.”

There are many factors that contribute to General Hospital fans' disappointment with the quality of the writing. It didn't start a month or two ago, but has been a constant problem for several years, making it harder and harder to watch the show.
With so many good characters leaving and so many boring storylines dragging on for weeks, General Hospital is no longer the soap opera it once was. And while there's no quick way to undo all that's been ruined, there are some changes that fans believe would work to the show's advantage. Letting go of Sonny Corinthos is one of them.
When Did Maurice Benard Join General Hospital?
It's safe to assume that for many people, Maurice Benard's name is forever tied to his life-changing role as Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital. The actor originated the role more than 30 years ago, back in 1993, and remains one of the show's most enduring characters.

Still, when Soap Opera Digest (Sod) recently asked some of our favorite Gh actresses about the advice they’d give someone who was stepping into a recast role, their answers brought home similar messages.
General Hospital Spoilers – Laura Wright’s Advice For Recasts
Gh spoilers note that Laura Wright knows a thing or two about recasts. While it seems like she has been in the Carly Spencer role “forever” she was Carly recast #5, taking the character over in 2005. Her advice when stepping into the shoes of an already established character?
She tells Sod, that they should “watch what they have to watch” from a previous actor to learn relationship dynamics with other characters on the show; however, they should also, let it go and bring their own dynamic.

There is nothing worse than watching your favorite show and feeling like you have seen it all before. The repetition of the same cycle has its place in showing toxic romance, but otherwise, viewers will always crave for something new. Unfortunately, soap operas don't seem to be able to provide it.
It's no secret that daytime TV works from a variety of clichés, but usually they blend together to create a somewhat unique path for each character. General Hospital, which has been on the air for more than 60 years, is no exception. However, the longer the show goes on, the more fans worry about the same patterns the writers give the characters to suffer through.

Despite his initial blame of Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), Sonny does recognize that Jason intervened to prevent a potential mistake.

Sonny should be grateful that he escaped a life sentence in prison by Jason’s not allowing him to cross the line and beat Dex to death.

Jeff Harris and Bernie Kukoff's sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" debuted in 1978 and ran 189 episodes over a whopping eight seasons. The series starred Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges as Arnold and Willis Jackson, two impoverished kids from Harlem whose mother had recently died. They were adopted by the wealthy Mr. Drummond (Conrad Bain), a Park Avenue millionaire. The series revolved around the relationship Arnold and Willis developed with their adopted father, new sister Kimberly (Dana Plato), and one of three kindly housekeepers. In the 1984 season, Mr. Drummond married a woman named Maggie, and she was played by Dixie Carter for two years before being replaced by Mary Ann Mobley.

Nothing makes a show more compelling than a perfect villain. Better yet, make several of them, with different backstories, different weapons, and, of course, different levels of power. It’s much more entertaining to watch them plot a devious scenario on how to make someone’s life miserable than to actually see the protagonists doing good things or falling in love with a long lost cousin.
We noticed that the most outrageous criminal minds and simply dark-soul characters come with soap operas. And who does the soapy storylines better than General Hospital, right?
Fans of the show (which has been on the air for more than 60 years) have seen a lot of different types of villains. But it seems they are tired of the creepy shenanigans of the new ones and want the legendary ones back. It's time to shake things up again on General Hospital!
