Actor James Franco is reportedly working really hard to learn up to 100 pages of lines per day for 'General Hospital'.

According to Life & Style, Franco's co-star Steve Burton said that he is "really putting his butt on the line".

"This guy had 100 pages to learn in one day," he said.

He also said that Franco didn't want to use an autocue, explaining: "I didn't think he would use one, just because of the type of actor he is."

Franco is due to make his 'General Hospital' debut on 20 November.
