GH's Julie Marie Berman Dishes Blurred Sex

No, your eyes weren't playing tricks on you, and no need to adjust your television or snap at the cable company. During the May 5 episode of General Hopsital, the love scene featuring Dante (Dominic Zampronga) and Lulu (Julie Marie Berman) had a little blurring of certain parts by ABC. Berman chats with Fancast's Nicholas White on the great pixliation debate.

Berman states,

We filmed it, it was beautiful, [and] it was wonderful. Just to be on the safe side, they chose to blur certain things out to not get in trouble

Viewers can rest assured GH didn't get too hot for television. Berman revealed,

It’s not the first time that’s happened. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I don’t think we did it with the intention of, ‘Oh, we can’t wait. We’re going to blur some stuff out to make it look [racy].

Did GH's Lante Sex Scene Live up to the Hype?

General Hospital’s highly anticipated love scene between Lulu (Julie Marie Berman) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) aired this week on ABC. Fancast’s Sara Bibel caught up with Berman and Zamprogna and talked with them about their sex scene and what fans can expect for Lante this summer.

Tell me about the big sex scene.
Berman: It was very naked.
Zamprogna: She was more naked than me. I had pasties on.
Berman: To make me feel better. We knew it was coming up. We were excited about it. We were ready to go for it, just push the boundaries to make it memorable.
Zamprogna: We were trying to live up to the hype.

What’s next for Lulu and Dante this summer?
Zamprogna: We’ve basically been told to be ready to have our shirts off at a moment’s notice.
Berman: Honestly, that’s all we know about this summer is that we are going to be naked. With each other — we don’t know.
Zamprogna: I just assumed. But I shouldn’t assume things.

What a Day on GH!



What a day on GH, but am I eating my words? I know everyone else is giving Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos III) the requisite thirty days before they make their judgments; I’m apparently not that nice. I said I would give him some time and I readily admitted that I hoped to eat my words. I even fired up the DVR yesterday after my required time in the yard and despite my new trend of online soap watching to see if Mr. Duell did in fact make me eat my words. So did he?

Imagine a Life After the Mob for Sonny on GH

Stephen Seidel from We Love Soaps TV went on the set of General Hospital and spoke with some of your favorite GH stars, including Maurice Benard. When Seidel asks if Sonny can ever get out of the mob I was reminded of the Reba McEntire's "Is There Life Out There" because let's face it, there's a whole lot of stuff Sonny hasn't done that doesn't involve the mob. Sonny Corinthos for Governor! GH fans who speculate about Sonny and Jason's (Steve Burton) relationship might also want to watch the clip.

Seidel also chats with Nancy Lee GrahnLexi Ainsworth, Jonathan Jackson, Rebecca HerbstDominic Zamprogna and Julie Marie Berman.

General Hospital: Perkie's Observations


The performer of the day has got to be Aaron Refvem (Morgan). He started in on Carly about what’s wrong with their family, asked why it keeps falling apart, why everyone quits, and when he started crying, it just broke my heart. Then he said the line about Jax being with his real child and I felt even worse. Michael doesn’t like Jax, so he won’t care if Jax breaks up with Carly. Jocelyn is too young to know what’s going on, but Morgan is stuck in the middle. He's Sonny’s son, but he has been raised primarily by Jax and we can see they have a pretty strong relationship. READ MORE
