Sneak peek videos of James Franco on 'General Hospital'

user-pic

On Friday, big-screen hunk James Franco begins his two-month guest stint on ABC's "General Hospital," airing at 2 p.m. on WLS-Ch. 7. His character, named "Franco" and listed as a psychotic artist, will make life miserable for Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).

If the video sneak peeks provided by ABC are any indication, Franco--and "Franco"--will be introduced with quite a bang. He seems to be the mystery man who has been watching mob activities in Port Charles. In one clip he witnesses a shootout involving hitman Jason and his boss, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard).

In the second clip, a mysterious woman, played by "Lost" alum Marsha Thomason, give Franco and shave and a kiss. Big kiss. Now I know why Franco's taking part in "General Hospital."

I think it's kind of cool that Franco, who attends classes at Columbia College in New York, doesn't think a soap is beneath him. Franco talked recently about doing the show. Did you notice the music in these two clips? I believe it's "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert's version of "Mad World."

I cant wait. I have been watching ABC soaps since I was 3. GH has always beeen my favorite out of the three because of all the hospital and mob drama. James Franco plays a guy who is obssesed with Jason and views what he does (a hitman) a work of art. Franco took a picture of Sonnys dead wife and mailed it to Jason. Franco also is said to have ties with Sam (Kelly Monaco) from the past. Its going to be fun however I hope they dont kill him off so when he decides he wants to return he can.

Yea GH is the one I watch constant. I try to follow One life and all my children but if i miss it once in a while i dont mind but I never miss GH. I give John alot of respect for doing this, I hear people making fun of him for doing this like he is lowering himself which is idiotic. I am hearing now that Will Smith would like to do a soap. On a side note he is already finishing filming his stint on GH, he said his first day of shooting the shot 70 pages worth.
