Jodi Williams loves TV Shows and movies. Besides the classics of American cinematography, she also loves watching all the newest streaming additions to Netflix. She loves design and hopes to have an online magazine of her own one day dedicated to interior design.
Jonathon is an international man of mystery. His vast experience at traveling and story-telling makes him an ideal candidate for writing for our site.

I am a retired Librarian and a native New Yorker. Daytime soaps have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve watched all of the ABC soaps at one time or another as well as many others. I started watching The Young and the Restless several years ago, and I really enjoy it.
Among the things I like to do are walking, emailing with friends around the country, baking and art projects.
Jaspreet was born and raised in Canada and lives with her family. From Richmond BC, she’s 23 years old. She loves watching “Manifest,” “The Vampire Diaries,” “Supergirl” and “Legacies.”
Dustin-Shane Merrill was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. He has been a loyal fan and viewer of General Hospital for 37 years. His favorite storyline from the archives would be “anything to do with Anna Devane and Duke Lavery.” He feels that Anna and Duke captured the essence of the super couple in a way that hasn’t been seen since Luke and Laura. Shane’s favorite character is Carly Corinthos – he loves her devotion to family and how she will go to any lengths to protect what is hers.
Shane is a Nationally Certified Medical Assistant; he holds an Associate of Science degree from the University of Georgia, a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a doctorate in Social Psychology from the University of Washington.
Shane counts his most positive traits as being kind, generous and a fiercely-loyal friend; however, he is the first to admit that he is impatient and is very put-off by ignorant people.
Shane is a world traveler and lists Paris, Tokyo and Charleston as three of his all-time favorite destinations. He loves music, sings and plays five instruments.
Shane has lived in Chicago, Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis in addition to his native Birmingham. His hobbies include attending concerts, travel, reading, writing, playing the piano and collecting vinyl albums and celebrity autographs. His favorite TV shows include Seal Team, Chicago P.D., Walker, Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire and General Hospital.
I began writing General Hospital updates in March 2022. I have been a soap fan since childhood. Prior to cancellation, I also watched One Life To Live and All My Children. I have a degree in Child Development from The University Of Georgia. I am an Atlanta native, who currently lives in Huntsville, Alabama. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 35 years. We have two adult sons.

Anita P. joined TVMEG.COM in March of 2022, volunteering as a proofreader of General Hospital transcripts. She is a college student in her 50’s in pursuit of a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing and English. Anita, who has been a fan of GH since the 80’s, loves a great story. Whether she is watching them on the screen, reading them, or writing them herself, great stories with complex, well-developed characters are her passion. Anita, a former Optician/Office Manager, is currently exploring career options to pursue in the writing field when she completes her degree. Her ultimate goal is to have a career in a field she loves and time to write and publish her own work, as well as plenty of time to spend with family.

My name is Nicole, but I go by Niki. I am 46, and I have two sons that live next to me. Their names are Kintrel & Nicolas. Kintrel is 26 and Nicolas is 25. My dad lives next to me, and he’s 81. He’s the best and my sons are such good young men. I am very proud of them. I also have two pitbulls. One is a female pitbull named Kali, and she is 5. There is a male named Kilo, and he just turned one. My youngest son and I are best friends. Hee takes care of me and sometimes gets mad at me. He tells me how it is and isn’t (but not disrespectfully, though).
I proofread the Days of our Lives Transcripts, and I enjoy doing them. I love typing. I used to watch Port Charles, but ABC cancelled it. I stopped watching General Hospital when they shut down my show,. Then I was in love with this show named “If Loving You Is Wrong,” but OWN canceled producer Tyler Perry’s show without giving us the answers we needed. I loved that show. I’ve been watching Days of our Lives on and off since I was a baby. My grandma watched it until she passed. She called them her stories.
I never watch regular TV — I just watch YouTube videos. I love getting subscription boxes and love spending time with my family.
Character Descriptions
Peter Griffin is the head of the Griffin family of Quahog, Rhode Island. He is a working class guy… not very mature or bright. He often runs off on some wild chase or scheme. He loves beer and hanging out with his friends at the local bar, The Drunken Clam.
Lois Griffin is married to Peter and the mom of their kids. She has a little more common sense than he does, but she’s not a very warm person (especially when it comes to her kids). She and Peter bicker a lot but love each other.
Meg Griffin is the oldest child. No one seems to like her (including her family). Her family bullies or ignores her. She’s a bit odd and definitely “a nerd.” Sometimes the family jokes that she’ll be a lesbian in the future.
Chris Griffin is a teenaged boy. He’s not very smart and seems emotionally stunted. He’s obsessed with girls, like most teens. Sometimes he speaks as if he’s actually a lot smarter. He loves to play video games.
Stewie Griffin is the baby of the family, but he’s really an evil genius. There are many jokes about him being gay (and in the closet). Sometimes he acts like a regular child, and other times he seems very far advanced. He has most of the best jokes on the show. Brian is his best friend. They have adventures together. Stewie likes to try to kill his mom and also build time machines.
Brian is the family dog, but he can speak and is fairly smart (not as smart as he thinks he is). He likes to read (or at least, pretend to read), write and sip Champagne. He dates humans as well as dogs. He tries to keep Stewie out of trouble. Brian has a big crush on Lois but is also Peter’s best friend (and Stewie’s as well). He and Quagmire hate each other.
Joe Swanson is Peter’s next door neighbor. He’s in a wheelchair but is also a police officer. He has an offbeat sense of humor and is usually cheery not matter what. He, Peter, Quagmire and Cleveland hang out at the local bar. He’s married to a woman, Bonnie, that doesn’t treat him very well.
Glenn Quagmire is Peter’s other next door neighbor. He’s a pilot who’s obsessed with sex and bedding as many women as he can. Like Brian, he has a huge crush on Lois. He and Brian hate each other. He thinks Brian is a big phony. His favorite sayings are “all right” and “giggity giggity.”
Cleveland Brown lives across the street from Peter. Whenever there’s a terrible thing that happens in the neighborhood, Cleveland’s house is usually destroyed, with him in the bathtub and falling out of the house. He’s a mail carrier. His wife is Loretta, and they have two children. There was a spinoff of his family, “The Cleveland Show.”
Hi! My name is Lori, and I’m currently writing the B&B Short Recaps, the Best Lines for B&B and GH, and proofreading/editing the GH transcripts.
Like many of you, I am a huge fan of soap operas! I guess you’d say my mom got me started at a very young age, in the early 1970s when she tuned in to Love Is A Many Splendored Thing. As I got older, I spent my summers enjoying the CBS morning lineup of Search for Tomorrow and Young and the Restless and then switching over in the afternoon to ABC with One Life to Live, The Edge of Night, and General Hospital; I’ve been watching B&B since it debuted in 1986. Unfortunately, when I was in elementary school and junior high, we didn’t have a way to record our shows like we do now, so I would catch up reading the previous week’s summaries in magazines like Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly or TV Guide. Here’s a fun fact: I was such a huge fan of GH during its heyday in the early 80s that I decided to write a storyline, complete with dialogue, and send it to Gloria Monty, the producer behind the Luke & Laura phenomenon. To this day, it is the most cherished rejection letter I’ve ever received, and I still believe that Louisa (“Lou”) Swenson was loosely based on a character I created. LOL!
I’m originally from the West Coast. After a stint in the Army, I lived in the Midwest for 16 years and then moved to South Carolina in 2006, where I currently live with my husband of 25+ years and our three cats Jasper, Mia, and Maddie. I have a grown daughter, who still lives in the Midwest with her husband and my only grandchild. In my free time, I enjoy watching HGTV, reading biographies, crafting, gardening, photography, and traveling to the beach, where I love to collect seashells and observe the shorebirds.

When Drucilla Winters gave birth to Lily, she let her husband, Neil, believe he was the father. Neil’s brother, Malcolm Winters took advantage of Drucilla while she was under the influence. She thought she was making love to Neil. She became pregnant and Neil never questioned whether or not he was Lily’s father. Malcolm and Drucilla decided to keep her true paternity a secret. The marriage fell apart anyway and Drucilla took her young daughter to Paris.
Several years later, Drucilla sent Lily back to Genoa City, where Neil had become an alcoholic. At first, Lily hated Genoa City until she met a kindred spirit, Colleen Carlton. The two girls became very close and Neil cleaned up his act, so Lily adjusted to life in America.
As a teen, Lily tried online dating and met Kevin Fisher. Kevin was a possessive boyfriend and treated Lily badly. When Colleen tried to warn Lily, Kevin started a fire at Gina’s restaurant intending to kill Colleen, who was inside. Kevin was Lily’s first lover and she contracted Chlamydia.
Lily and Kevin’s best friend, Daniel Romalotti fell in love. They eloped after Lily found out that Malcolm was her biological father. On the paperwork, she listed Malcolm as her father. Later, she confronted Drucilla and Neil overheard the truth. Lily assured him that he would always be her dad, but the relationship between Neil and Malcolm never recovered. The marriage between Daniel and Lily also dissolved once Lily realized she couldn’t trust Daniel and his porn addiction.
Lily caught the eye of local bartender, Cane Ashby. Neil liked Cane as an employee, but he didn’t approve of a relationship between his little girl and a much older man. Lily and Cane fought their attraction for each other for awhile but they ultimately gave in.
Lily and Cane broke up briefly because it was thought that he was the father of Chloe Mitchell’s baby, Cordelia. Billy came forward as the father and Chloe admitted that she and Cane had never actually had sex, she had drugged him and told him they had sex. Lily and Cane reconciled and they were married.
Cane had done some lying of his own. He had everyone believing he was the real Chancellor heir, Phillip Chancellor, III. The real Phillip showed up and the whole truth was uncovered. Lily forgave Cane for this lie. He continued to lie throughout their marriage and she continued to forgive him, even after he allowed her to believe he was killed and he was haunting her.
Lily won a war against cancer, but was unable to conceive. Mackenzie Browning, granddaughter of Katherine Chancellor, agreed to be a surrogate. She gave birth to twins Matilda (Matty) and Charlie.
Even though Lily has given him no reason to doubt her loyalty to him, Cane is jealous and possessive. He insists Lily is too kind-hearted to see peoples’ true intentions.
Lily is, in fact, a very loyal wife and friend. She loves her children very much as well as her job and she does a good job of juggling the two. While she does tend to see only the good in people, she is a smart and savvy woman who can have it all in spite of all the tragedy she’s endured.

Esther Valentine has been a loyal housekeeper and friend to Katherine Chancellor for many years. For a short time, Esther worked for Nina after being lured away with promises of a better dress code and equal treatment. Esther soon found out that working for Katherine wasn’t as bad as she thought, and she returned to the Chancellor estate.
Tired of being lonely, Esther had a one-night stand with Tiny and became pregnant. She named the baby Kate and asked Katherine to be Kate’s godmother. As a child, Kate was sent off to school.
Again having the need for male companionship, Esther began dating Norman Peterson. She pretended to be the lady of the Chancellor estate. Not wanting to embarrass Esther, Katherine and her husband Rex played along. Rex caught Norman trying to steal from Katherine and confronted him, who was actually an ex-con. Rex was shot in the process.
Proving that Esther is quick to trust and has bad luck with men, she, once again, became involved with a man who only wanted to get his hands on the Chancellor fortune. Katherine was kidnapped and presumed dead, leaving Esther financially secure. Esther and Roger were married, but he turned out to be married to someone else. Katherine was reunited with her family.
When the time came for the folks at the Chancellor estate to meet Cane’s new bride-to-be, Esther was surprised to see it was her daughter, Kate, who was now going by the name Chloe. Chloe had a daughter she named Cordelia.
Realizing Esther’s worth, Katherine promoted her from housekeeper to personal assistant, leaving Esther plenty of time to spend with her granddaughter.

Nikki Newman loves her family and friends above everything else. She often puts their needs ahead of her own. Victor is the love of her life and, though they tend to hurt, hate, and leave each other, they belong together and always find their ways back.

Nikki is married to Victor. They have two children together, Nicholas and Victoria. Nikki is also stepmother to Adam and Abby. She is grandmother to the late Cassie Newman, Noah Newman, Summer Newman, Faith Newman, Reed Helstrom, and Johnny Abbott.
Nikki is a recovering alcoholic. Her sponsor is also her best friend, Katherine Chancellor. Nikki is sponsor to Neil Winters who, in turn, sponsors Nikki’s friend and former husband, Jack Abbott. Nikki struggles with her alcoholism when terrible things happen to her or her family, but Victor always comes to the rescue, though he still keeps alcohol readily available and out in the open in his home.
Nikki is a loyal friend and she usually takes the high road in moral decisions. As long as your name isn’t Adam or Sharon and as long as you aren’t threatening her family, Nikki always has a kind word. She is a class act. Hard to believe she started out as a stripper.

Nicholas Newman
Played By Josh Morrow
Written By Darlene
on May 22, 2013
Nicholas “Nick” Newman spent most of his life trying to make his father, business mogul Victor Newman, proud; but it always seemed that Victor held the bar higher for his son than his daughters, Victoria and Abby. Nick realized that he would never make Victor proud and he no longer cared. He ventured out on his own and discovered his own passion, which had nothing to do with business. Nick is the owner of Genoa City’s newest nightclub, “The Underground.”
Nick is not only flaky in his professional life but also in matters of the heart. He married his first love, Sharon, but strayed more than once. When he found himself expecting a child with his mistress, Phyllis Summers, he divorced Sharon and married Phyllis. He cheated on Phyllis with Sharon, and they divorced. He planned to marry Sharon again, but she chose his brother, Adam. Nick went back to Phyllis but decided he didn’t want to play her games, so he left her and hooked up with her sister, Avery. It seems Nick may not have inherited his father’s head for business but they both have wandering hearts.
Nick would do anything to protect his family. In spite of all the hearts he breaks, he feels the need to protect the women in his life, not the least of which is Summer, the child he conceived out of wedlock with Phyllis. Summer, who became a beautiful young woman, is prone to mischief and makes foolish decisions in spite of warnings from family and friends. This could be because Nick refuses to let her grow up.
Though Nick can be callous and hypocritical at times, he has a way of making people love him and forget all the horrible things he’s done. After all, compared to his brother, Adam, in many ways Nick is a saint.

Lauren Fenmore started out as a young singer in a band with Danny Romalotti. Besides singing, her favorite thing to do was terrorize poor Traci Abbott. This went on for years until she met local private detective Paul Williams. They fell in love and married, but their marriage was full of turmoil. Later, they divorced and Lauren married a doctor named Scott Granger. They had a baby together, but a psychotic nurse named Sheila Carter switched the babies and took little Scotty as her own. Lauren eventually reclaimed her son; but, through the years, Sheila has found ways to cause havoc in Lauren’s life.
Lauren is married to attorney Michael Baldwin, making her the sister-in-law of Kevin Fisher and daughter-in-law of Gloria Bardwell. Lauren and Michael have a son together, Fenmore. Lauren owns the upscale department store, Fenmore’s, along with her sister Jill. She is friends with most people in town and is very well liked and respected. She seldom gets herself into trouble like her younger self did. She is often the voice of reason when friends or family aren’t thinking clearly.

We met Kevin when he was an internet predator and he gave Lily Winters Chlamydia. He tried to kill Colleen Carlton. Later, he threatened Lauren Fenmore. Still, he was forgiven by most people and became a decent citizen and business owner.
Kevin grew up in an abusive home. His father, Terrible Tom Fisher, used to lock him in the closet. Kevin is now claustrophobic. Long after he changed for the better, a man named Clint took advantage of Kevin’s state of mind and forced him to rob banks dressed as a chipmunk, something Kevin is reminded of often by some Genoa City citizens like Billy Abbott.
Kevin is married to Chloe Mitchell Fisher, who has made some pretty outrageous mistakes herself. It is this unpredictable behavior that makes them so interesting. One or both of them is/are usually cooking up some sort of scheme.
Like most people in Genoa City who’ve turned their lives around, Kevin is close to Katherine Chancellor, whose maid, Esther, is Kevin’s mother-in-law.
Michael Baldwin is Kevin’s brother. He understands Kevin and why he does the things he does, because Michael witnessed the abuse Kevin endured growing up and he, himself, turned his life around after spending some time in prison.
Kevin Fisher is a young man who has walked the line between right and wrong his entire life. There is something about him, though, that makes us root for him. Like Kevin says, maybe he brings out the chipmunk in all of us.

He still saw Diane and even slept with her on the day of his wedding to Patti; Jill set it up so that a pregnant Patti would find Jack and Diane together. This caused her to miscarry. After making plans to move out of the house and have another baby, Patti overheard Jack making plans to have a vasectomy. Patti was so enraged she shot Jack three times, causing him to become paralyzed. He eventually recovered.
Jack and Victor Newman are long time bitter rivals. Jack married Nikki, Victor’s ex and true love. They had a son together, but he was born prematurely and died.

Devon Hamilton met Lily Winters while doing community service in Genoa City. Lily befriended him and introduced him to her parents, Neil and Drucilla Winters. Devon’s mother, Yolanda, was a drug addict and unable to properly take care of her son. Drucilla convinced Neil they should become Devon’s foster parents. They also tried to help Yolanda. That plan seemed to work until Yolanda misinterpreted Neil’s feelings for her and made a pass at him. Yolanda left town and Neil and Drucilla adopted Devon.
Devon was diagnosed with meningitis and lost his hearing. He was given cochlear implants to help. In spite of his hearing impairment, Devon has a love for music and is very talented.
In 2008, Drucilla fell over a cliff during a scuffle with Phyllis Newman. Her body was never found, but she was presumed dead.
Devon’s Aunt Tyra and her daughter, Ana, came to town and were welcomed by the Winters family. Ana has a talent for music, like Devon.
Devon’s great aunt revealed that she isn’t really related to Devon at all and Ana is the daughter of Yolanda, making her his sister. Tyra explained that she took Ana in because Yolanda was unable to care for her.
By this time, Neil was remarried to Karen, but he and Tyra couldn’t ignore their attraction for each other and had an affair. Devon was witness to this and became very angry. As Devon and Tyra argued, they succumbed to passion and had sex. Devon’s girlfriend, Roxanne, walked in on them and broke up with him for a short time, but he convinced her it wouldn’t happen again.
Katherine Chancellor gave Ana a scholarship to go to school for her singing and Tyra decided to join her. Tyra and Ana left town but not after damage had been done. Besides the Devon/Roxanne break up, Karen divorced Neil.
In 2011, it was revealed that Devon’s father was none other than Tucker McCall, who once traveled with rock bands on the road. Yolanda was a groupie who had a relationship with Tucker. Yolanda wrote Tucker a note, but she never let him meet his son. Despite all his resources, he never bothered to search for his child.
Upon realizing that Devon was his son, Tucker wanted a relationship with him. Yolanda came back to town with a new name, Harmony. Harmony was clean and sober and wanted to bond with Devon and Ana. Katherine Chancellor, who was Devon’s new grandmother and an alcoholic herself, took Harmony in and helped her stay sober. Harmony discovered she was still attracted to Neil and this time he reciprocated.
Devon eventually made peace with Harmony and Katherine, but remained skeptical of Tucker, who seemed to care more about business than family. Harmony left Genoa City to be closer to Ana in spite of her growing relationships with both Devon and Neil.
Devon found the music business to be very slow in Wisconsin, so he joined Neil, Lily, and Lily’s husband Cane to work at Jabot.

Chloe Mitchell came into this world as Kate Valentine, daughter of Katherine Chancellor’s maid, Esther Valentine. She was sent to boarding school at a young age. Several years later, Chloe Mitchell arrived in Genoa City to be a fashion coach for Lily Winters, who won the “Fresh Face of Jabot” contest.
When Chloe found out she was pregnant, she tricked Cane Ashby, Lily’s boyfriend, into thinking he was the father by getting him drunk and staging a “morning after” scene. Cane married Chloe, and we found out that Chloe really was Kate Valentine. Billy Abbott returned to Genoa City and, knowing he was the real father of Chloe’s baby, let Cane believe Cane was the father. The truth finally came to light, though, and Cane got back together with Lily while Billy married Chloe. Chloe had a daughter they named Cordelia (Delia for short), but the marriage was a disaster. Billy’s heart belonged to Mackenzie Browning. Chloe and Billy were divorced and she started dating Billy’s nephew, Chance. Chloe and Chance became engaged but broke up when he could not contain his feelings for Heather Stevens. To get even and make Chance jealous, Chloe slept with his half-brother, Ronan Malloy. Chloe talked Kevin Fisher into letting her move in to his apartment. They became best friends and eventually lovers. Kevin and Chloe were married with Delia’s blessing.
Chloe and Kevin have had their ups and downs but value their marriage and friendship. They are involved in a joint business venture with Adam and Chelsea Newman called TagNGrab, a fashion website.
Chloe is a wise-cracking bundle of energy who brings fun amongst all the drama in Genoa City. She usually acts before she thinks, but she has matured a lot since returning home with a chip on her shoulder.

While Billy Abbott was in Myanmar, he met a bartender/con artist named Chelsea Lawson. Seeing that Billy was very drunk, Chelsea seduced him. Months later, she showed up in Genoa City pregnant with Billy’s baby. She accused Billy of rape but confessed it was a con, not knowing she was being recorded. When Chelsea gave birth to a baby boy, she gave up her parental rights. Billy and Victoria named the baby John and are raising him as their own.
Chelsea befriended fellow outcast, Adam Newman. He resisted her at first, but finally gave in to his feelings and they started a friendship, then romance, then he proposed marriage. The couple went back to Adam’s childhood home in Kansas. Adam’s ex-wife, Sharon Newman, followed them there. On their wedding day, while Adam was in the shower, Sharon called his phone and Chelsea saw, making her feel insecure. She had no reason to worry. Adam told Sharon to leave, that he loved Chelsea.

Chelsea became pregnant and, to get away from stress and Newman drama, the couple decided to go on a “babymoon.” However, on the way to the airport, they were involved in an automobile accident with Adam’s niece, Summer Newman, and Chelsea lost the baby.
