Subject: Quick Friday Facebook Update........

Hey Guys,



A quick update here this very early morning. I always feel that words are not truly adequate, but I wanted to give you angel hugs for all of your many messages, cards, and notes out here. They are pure light and love for me right now. 100% Aloe Vera on the burn. I haven't been around much this past week, but I finally caught up with as much as I could out here. A few things this very early Friday morning. Even though we have discussed this on my wall out here when the subject was brought up, a few didn't get the memo as they are still asking me about the show recasting Michael. I've said it a few times now that the casting call put out by ABC (not me) looks more likely to be a dream sequence for a mini Jason, and not a recast of Michael. They used all of Michael's attributes and even threw in about what he went through in prison, but it's all for a little boy that is being cast (or has been cast as I have been out of the loop this past week) to play a futuristic Jason in a dream. I just thought I should clarify again since some still think he is being recast. I said from the beginning that this was not MY scoop. The casting call was legitimate and came from ABC (not me). ABC chose the description and words (not me). If they do recast, it would be ridiculous. Chad has knocked it out of the park from day one. Again, most likely for the mini Jason dream sequence or some other purpose, which is now old news, and subject to God knows what at this fluid stage in the game.

My source is not hearing anything new about GH being saved however, we now have a wild card in the mix. Katie Couric is growing concerned (and she should be). You know I will always be honest with you whether it's good news or bad news (hence, all the flesh wounds over the years as the messenger). If GH is given a reprieve, it will be temporary only to secure Katie's new show. I know that's not what you want to hear, but I'm not Disney, so I won't lie to you. A stay of execution is all we can hope for and we need to get those ratings up now. My source has made it clear that it never mattered how well the other shows did. I was told that it's a game they are playing to keep the noise down however Katie (their new princess) is showing signs of fear. It's either a very clever play on her part or something that could actually buy us more time. That's the long and short of it. Keeping my fingers crossed, but bracing for the worst. I've been down this road before. We all have. Fight, hope, dream, never give up, but don't be blindsided either come April.

I told you on 1/23/12 that Robin would not truly be dead, and that you would see her again ala Victor Lord style from OLTL's finale. Please note that she will appear as an astral projection at first (ghost like), but she is not dead. She's alive.......

I am hearing that things are being attributed to me once again that never came from me (no wonder there is so much confusion out there). The things that are mine are never credited to me and the things that were never mine are. I never had any scoops on Tristan and Nathan (Robert & Ethan). I said that someone very special had been contacted by DOOL and that this was early stages only and that scoop is only a month old (I get early rumblings only). I have not heard of anything falling through on this. It's just too early. In that vein, as long time readers know, cancellations make things incredibly fluid. All I can do is pass on what they are batting around today, but I will have no control over what they do with any of that tomorrow. I know that most of you get that, but some never will. Change equals being wrong. It's a good thing that I don't do this to my sources or they would never give me another thing ever again. I would look pretty ungrateful and I am anything but.

Finally, some are not seeing any of my updates past the date of my last column. For my non-Facebook readers out there, I have updated several times, but they are at the end of the current thread. They are not hard to find as they have a special symbol by them next to my name (and I state UPDATE IN HUGE LETTERS)! Some were questioning why there were no updates since 1/27/12 (besides the obvious in that I am dealing with cancer, some simply don't bother to look first). I have updated several times with the last update dated 2/17/12! I am only covering one show now, so when I get news, I don't wait for an entire column to give you the news. Please make sure you have checked the current thread thoroughly for any updates! There have been several since 1/27/12!

Thank you again for all the really sweet notes of love and encouragement you have left me. They mean the world to me. They really do. I love you! XOXO! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Thanks for keeping us in the loop with your progress and
scoops. The prayers for you and GH (cast and crew), continue. At the risk of sounding petty (I know, not nice on my part), let's watch Katie C. sweat a little. Enjoy your weekend darlin'. Love and hugs to you.

You are an incredibly brave person - prayers always. If I could ask anything of you it would be what you might know of Kirsten Storm's situation. I am so worried for her and miss her TERRIBLY! Breaks my heart she is missing these pivotal scenes. Thank you for all that you share with us. God bless!

Hey RB--best wishes. I'm confused on your mention of ROBERT/ETHAN. You said you had no spoiler on them and some people said you did.

Are you mentioning this because you now know Robert is NOT the father of Ethan?

Or do you NOT know either way? If you can answer on this i'd greatly appreciate that?


Thanks,



RJ

[> Reminder: watch GH on abc's gh site to be counted -- DWinPhx, 04:32:42 02/25/12 Sat [1]

As the OLTL characters start popping up on GH today, thought i'd remind everyone of RB's previous tip that ABC is watching the numbers of how many people watch online on their website very closely.So if you're a GH fan and not watching online already, be sure to start - and OLTL fans should DEFINATELY make it a point to watch the GH episodes online on the days the OLTL'ers appear.Most of us aren't Nielsen families so this is an important and crucial way to be counted as a soap viewer. Remember watching on YouTube or anywhere else won't count...it needs to be on abc's general hospital official page. The episodes are kept online for a week after they air...so watch several times during that week (have them on in the background in another window as you're doing your regular surfing)Those who are only tuning in to see the OLTL characters should definately watch each episode they appear on...if GH regularly brings in (using hypothetical numbers here) 2 million viewers and the days OLTL'ers appear spike up to 3-4 million, how much of an effect would that have on getting OLTL back in some form?

Hi Raven-

Really hoping that special person DOOL contacted was Erika Slezak. I have thought since OLTL was cancelled she would make the perfect Laura Horton recast.
My other hope would just be for Kirsten Storms as Belle.
Thank you for all the updates and hoping you are feeling well.

Raven, thanks for the update. Its always great to hear from you. Can we get a hint at the DAYS scoop?! I'm a huge DAYS fan and I was so excited when you said you were going to try to get some DAYS scoops. I know your sources aren't there, but when a DAYS nugget pops up on here I get so excited. Any hint would be greatly appreciated! I need some good news when it comes to DAYS. Even if it doesn't come to fruition it would be fun to have hope.

I will continue to pray for you. Always grateful to you.

You are amazing! I am humbled by tour spirit. I find your personal updates uplifting, again your spirit is amazing. You are making a difference in other people's lives by showing them how to fight. Thank you!

I really hope that they bring Melissa Archer on at GH as Natalie Buchannan and have her come to Port Charles to be with John McBain. Also, do you know anything about what is happening with the character of Spinelli? I don't want the character of Spinelli or his portrayer Bradford Anderson gone from the show. I would like to see Spinelli and Maxie get back together and for them to realize that they belong together, and are each other's soulmate and the love of each other's lives. Please let me know anything you can.

Im hearing that Spinelli along with several other people may die in a warehouse explosion... but cant confirm it.. But Im like you, I think Spinelli should stay.

Thank you for the update and all that you do Raven! So happy that you stopped in to give us a quick update when you didn't have to, your health is much more important to us. Sending rays of healing white light your way!

I NEVER believed Sweeney when she said the show with the lowest ratings would be cancelled, at this point I would not trust her or ABC as far as I could throw them! I miss AMC & OLTL tons but don't want them back at ABC as they clearly don't deserve them, hoping PP can somehow save them. In the meantime I have switched to CBS, LOVING B&B right now!

Once again Raven, you were on the money, we first saw astral ghost like Robin yesterday in Jason's dream and again towards the end of the episode!
