From Pineapple Express, to General Hospital?

When James Franco said he wanted to guest star on "General Hospital," I laughed it off. I found it humorous - you know, like jokes are SUPPOSED to be.

But then "General Hospital" released this picture of him, as a confirmation that the guest spot is actually going to happen.


And I cannot stop laughing. He looks so serious! So somber! So soap opera-like!

I wish I watched "General Hospital," so I could indulge in the Franco joy on Nov. 20. But alas, I do not. I am a "Young and the Restless" girl. I have to spend my weeknights watching something on the Soap.net channel, OK?
