NEWS ROUNDUP: Ron Carlivati Talks GH Surprise; Lindsay Lohan Switch: Babs to Leno

Head writer Ron Carlivati On GENERAL HOSPITAL's Stunning "Duke" Reveal
"It's a story you won't have to wait for months and months to see unfold. It just goes like gangbusters from today on."

"I thought it was important to show him alive the same time we were showing that this wasn't the real Duke because I knew there was going to be a lot of disappointment from fans who felt, 'Oh, you dangled the return of Duke Lavery under our nose and then you snatched it back.' I didn't want people to be upset and angry. I wanted them to enjoy the story! So we made the decision to do a double whammy and show Real Duke at the end of the day. And you will see in the ensuing days how he was able to appropriate Duke's fingerprints, his memories, etc. Essentially, what you find out is that the backstory Faison told everyone about how Duke was not really Jonathan Paget and he's been in Turkish prison, all of that was a true story. However, Faison intercepted Duke and took on his identity and the reason is because of Anna Devane."



THE GOOD WIFE Takes On the FCC: Plot line gives nod to CBS' 'Nipplegate'
In a wink-wink nod-nod to the CBS Super Bowl case, Sunday's episode did one breast better. Christina Ricci, playing a comedian whose pet cause was breast cancer and the promotion of self-examination, exposed both her breasts on a fictional evening talk show. No malfunction there!

To escape a $2 million lawsuit judgment, Ricci's character flies to Washington, D.C., with her legal entourage led by Alicia Florrick (Juliana Margulies), to argue her case before the FCC. Of course no broadcast indecency story would be complete without including the equivalent of the Parents Television Council (Parents Against Indecency, in the fictional account), which effectively organizes millions of complaints from its email lists.
