James Franco Checks in to General Hospital

James Franco will join ABC's General Hospital as a guest star for a lengthy story arc this fall.

The Pineapple Express and Spider-Man actor will play a mystery person who comes to the soap opera's town of Port Charles. The recurring role will begin Nov. 20 -- to coincide with November sweeps -- and will last about two months.

Executive producer Jill Farren Phelps says it's "an honor that an actor of Franco's caliber would choose to spend some of his valuable time in Port Charles."

    I have to totally agree with Soylent here. WTF indeed! I had to read the title of this story twice, to make sure it said what I thought it did!

    Talk about taking a step back. He's taking 10,000 steps back! This is just short of joining a reality show. OMG! This makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever! Does he have a relative on the show, who he's trying to help get a raise or something!? His career may be done after this move. General Hospital is Loserville man! All soaps are!

    I've noticed that he has gone the TV route and has been at it for a few months now. But why General Hospital it's such a lousy show now, I would have thought he'll end up on SGU.
