Michael Learned on Gen. Hospital

[sunshine21]

Does anyone know if Michael's character is still alive? I've been watching the show to see her, however Shirley never showed last week and I may have missed a couple episodes from the week before. If she's around I'll keep watching. Otherwise...

Thanks!!!

I have been watching the storyline as well, and the last time that Michael was on was May 13th. Her character, Shirley, had scenes with Helena (Constance Towers) and Liz (Rebecca Herbst) by the nurses' station, so at that point Shirley was still up and about. I have heard several people say that, they believe that the next time we see Shirley, she will be on her deathbed. If that is the case, I would prefer that Michael not be on the show for that and that the death happens off the air. In any event, it has been nice seeing Michael again in something more recent.

I did see that episode so at least I haven't missed anything. Compared to some (or perhaps most) of those people Michael's talent shines through loud and clear. :-)

You are soooo right. The show was really lucky to get her if even for a little while.

Michael told me that the Character Shirley was supposed to help revert some of the whininess of the character Elizabeth. I told Michael that they had teamed her up with my least favorite character on the show and Michael asked me...because she's a big whiner and I said YES!! i just want to reach through the TV screen and shake her. And that's when Michael told me what her character Shirley was being used for.

Thanks Bren for letting us know. I never watch soaps, but, when I heard that Michael was going to be on the show, I decided to tune in. She definitely adds something that the show and the small screen truly lacks. And yehhh, finally after being absent for nearly two weeks, she was finally back on the show today with the funny loudspeaker scene. It was a hoot.

I had been weaned off all soaps for many years and then my massage therapist had me watch two episodes of General Hospital, Luke,Tracy and Helene Cassadine saga and I was hooked again. This was during the time when Luke stole Helene's money, put it in Tracy's account making Helene think Tracy had stolen the money, then Luke getting Tracy very tipsy and marrying her to get at the money he'd stolen from Helene. It's the only soap I allow myself to watch though.
