Gossip for the week of 07-Jun-2010

Jason might’ve promised to be on his best behavior in prison. But he loses his cool and pounds on a prison guard, earning solitary and leaving Michael a prey for the taking.

When it was Drew Garrett, Michael was supposed to romance Kristina. But now that it’s Chad Duell, that’s been removed from the table. Duell has tender chemistry with Annie Ilonzeh (Maya), fyi. But let’s just say it’s going to be a long time before Michael thinks about dating.

Learning nothing from her past (lying about running pregnant Claudia over, lying about Ethan abusing her), Kristina targets her dad Sonny next by lying about seeing Johnny romantically and sexually. Sam repeats her past mistake by warning Ethan off Kristina, missing the entire picture. (But Sam was never the sharpest knife in the drawer.)

James Franco (Franco) would very much like his GH on-screen mom to be his real-life mom, Betsy, who I hear is quite the card. Word is, wait and see. In more Franco dish, a professor at the fancy art school the actor’s attending was peeved by the constant texting during a lecture and threw the guy out of the class that day.
