James Franco Loves His Stories

Can actor James Franco single-handedly save Soap Operas from their rapid demise? More importantly, even if he could, should he? Word on the street is that Franco (currently attending both NYU and Columbia) is temporarily moving to the fictional town of Port Charles, New York to be a "mysterious person" on daytime drama General Hospital. ABC has confirmed it, and there is speculation "that his story arc will be a few months long and that he'll do one day on the set each week, filming scenes for several episodes at once." Franco will be on small screens around the nation starting November 20th, and there's no use pretending you aren't going to set that DVR.
