Constance Towers discusses her upcoming short-stint as Helena in GENERAL HOSPITAL"I really am excited to have viewers see what Helena has up her sleeve this time around," shared Towers. "The writing is absolutely amazing for GENERAL HOSPITAL, and I hear it every day whenever I run into a viewer. It's amazing. I may only return for a short time each time, but I feel as though I've never been away. Everyone is so professional and great to work with, from the actors to the behind-the-scenes geniuses that make all of us look and feel great."
When asked how long we might get to savor Helena's scheming ways this go around, the actress would only say that she's on for a "short stint."
Hurricane Sandy: New York City to Resume Issuing Permits for Exterior Shoots
With Hurricane Sandy recovery and relief efforts ongoing, the city of New York will begin issuing permits for exterior production shoots on Monday, Nov. 5.

A Soap Set in the Favelas
For many Brazilians, tuning in to the prime-time soap opera that airs on Globo television each weeknight is somewhere between national pastime and national obsession.
Even by those standards, the recent finale of AVENIDA BRASIL on Oct. 19 was a huge hit. The story of a child abandoned by her stepmother and her quest for revenge, the final episode was seen by 50 million viewers, or 25% of Brazil's 200 million people, making it a kind of Super Bowl of soaps. Many noted that President Dilma Rousseff postponed a rally scheduled during the final show, although a spokesman wouldn't confirm the reason. The electric company assured the country there was ample power available so everyone could watch.
Globo now is trying to follow the success of AVENIDA with SALVE JORGE, or "Hail George," a love story set partially in one of Rio de Janeiro's teeming hillside shantytowns, or favelas. The show promises to leverage topical news with the usual telenovela plot lines of love and betrayal.
Mark Consuelos on stepping out of the box for AMERICAN HORROR STORY's Spivey
Almost three episodes in, Consuelos has been seen in only a few scenes so far, but he assures the truth about Spivey will eventually be revealed. But unlike Sarah Paulson’s Lana or Lizzie Brocheré’s Grace, who seemingly have no business being patients at the asylum, Consuelos suggests Spivey may belong there. “I think in his mind, he absolutely thinks he’s there unjustly and he should be out. But I think it’s fair to say he deserves to be there,” he says with a laugh.
