Gossip for the week of 21-Jun-2010
by Carol Banks Weber

The first 200 fans who show up on location for the June 24th GH remote in Hollywood, featuring Jason and Franco, may get to show up on-screen in July as extras. Even if you don’t, you’re guaranteed some face time with some of the stars. Cameras are okay, video cameras are not. Interested fans have to sign up and register via this e-mail to get the 7 p.m. shoot location and specifics.

Brianna Brown (Lisa) tried to defend her character’s motives by seemingly playing it up as not premeditated and sociopathic as fans in general see her. She’s fighting a losing battle. Every woman who’s tried to go up against Scrubs has received the wrath of those a little too into their supercouple, Patrick and Robin. Gentleman Brandon Barash (Johnny) spoke up for Brown on Twitter: “Peeps should leave @BrownBrianna alone. She's simply doing her job by telling the stories she's being given. C'mon, not her fault.” In response, a million fans released a ton of support and love.

In James Franco’s latest interview with TV Guide’s Michael Logan (referenced in “News” above), the movie star actor hinted that this time around, we’ll see more of a sexually infatuated Franco smitten with Jason.

Maura West (Carly, ATWT) may join GH in an undisclosed, major role. True or false.
