  • Actor James Franco will appear on several episodes of the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital beginning in November of 2009. Franco's first appearance on the soap will be on November 20, 2009, and he'll have a "recurring" role for about two months. Details on his character's storyline haven't been revealed, but one report said Franco's character would be the "worst nightmare" for Port Charles mobster Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2009/10/01/2009-10-01_james_franco_is_headed_for_general_hospital_big_screen_star_will_have_recurring_.html

    In a December 4, 2009 op-ed piece published in the Wall Street Journal, Franco revealed that his appearance on the day time soap opera was performance art. Franco wrote:http://gawker.com/5418614/james-francos-general-hospital-appearance-was-subversive-performance-art?autoplay=true

    "I have been obsessed with performance art for over a decade—ever since the Mexican performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña came to visit my class at Cal Arts summer school. I finally took the plunge and experimented with the form myself when I signed on to appear on 20 episodes of "General Hospital" as the bad-boy artist "Franco, just Franco." I disrupted the audience's suspension of disbelief, because no matter how far I got into the character, I was going to be perceived as something that doesn't belong to the incredibly stylized world of soap operas."http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704107104574570313372878136.html
