Myabcsoaps is calling it a rumor. I remember reading somewhere else that the first Night Shift episode will begin on the regular daytime drama. I'm with you, I can't imagine TPTB would only have this birth happen on the Night Shift. I'm guessing it will happen on GH and we will get some bonus scenes on the spin-off. I've seen rumors saying both girl and boy, but the most recent have indicated boy.

Did they say the baby was going to be born on Night Shift only, or that both it and GH would show the birth? I find it hard to believe that ABC would risk alienating audience members that don't get SoapNet by only having the birth of this controversial baby only on cable. Any thoughts as to whether it's a boy or girl?

Thanks for the return visit, Candi. I'm curious to see how the spin-off does. It's a unique idea to take a soap premise and make it truly episodic, as appears to be the plan. I'm also very anxious to see the center focus be the hospital, instead of the mob, especially given current events the excessive violence has been a bit hard to take this week.

Hope indeed springs eternal; perhaps something can be worked out, especially if the new show does well and is renewed beyond the current 13-episode order.

Duh! Cousins, you're absolutely correct Candi. Error corrected in the article. Myabcsoaps was where the Springfield possibility was mentioned, though you make a very valid point about his tour schedule. I also have my doubts about Hughes and Rogers since they haven't been seen for months on the "home" show. A girl can still hope, right?

Just one little quibble: you referred to Carly as Lulu's aunt. Carly's mother Bobbie is Lulu's aunt; therefore Carly and Lulu are COUSINS. Otherwise, great column. I share your hope that Noah Drake will appear on "Night Shift" from time to time (although I doubt it; due to his concert schedule, Rick Springfield's availability on Fridays - when NS tapes - is spotty, at best).
