General Hospital News and Spoilers: Steve Burton Gets Emotional Over Jason And Monica

*Steve Burton gets emotional over Monica*

*🎤Sings * “One of these things is not like the other.” When I think of General Hospital’s iconic Quartermaine family certain traits and characteristics come flooding to mind. Aside from a strong family unit, the Qs give “corporate” vibes.

Over the years, Edward and Lila, and Alan and Monica created an image and reputation that lives on today. Cutthroat, conniving, cheating and backstabbing, are just a few of the recognizable Quartermaine traits and characteristics. Similarly, these traits and characteristics hold true as a family and how they run the family business.

Despite having been raised as a Quartermaine, it’s hard to imagine Jason Morgan’s place in the family today. According to GH history, Jason Quartermaine fit prior to his and AJ’s life altering car accident. The former aspiring doctor was as professional and business oriented as a Q can get before his and his family’s life face a drastic change.

Still, Jason is and always will be a Quartermaine. Although Jason strayed away from the family to work for Sonny, he and his mom, Monica Quartermaine’s bond was never broken. Sure, things weee rocky for a while. But Jason always kept Monica close to his heart.

General Hospital news and spoilers reveals an emotion experience for Steve Burton. According to his and Bradford’s event podcast, Burton became so emotional on set that he almost walked off during his scene. As it turns out, Jason really does have feelings! Ha! Just kidding. He obviously has feelings but as Burton stated, Jason doesn’t always wear his emotions on his sleeve.

That said, GH news reveals Steve’s emotional scene involving Jason and Monica. He confessed to Bradford Anderson that he almost walked off set while recently filming a scene. “I was so emotional, I couldn’t even get it out.” He added, “I was literally going to walk off the set,” then he came to a realization about the authenticity of the scene. “Next take, it’s not going to be the same.”

General hospital spoilers reveal that Steve’s emotions kicked up while reading his script. Jason read a letter from Leslie Charleson’s character, Monica Quartermaine. and it said, “I believe in you.”

Evidently, Jason reading the letter from Monica struck a cord with Steve. with concerns surrounding Leslie Charleston‘s health fans can’t help but wonder if something is seriously wrong with the legendary actress. We will continue to keel GH fans updated on the latest GH news, spoilers, and more.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: GH’s Brooklyn Silzer Dazzles In A Teen Dream Come True

*GH’s Brooklyn Silzer Crowned Prom Queen*

General Hospital is full of youthful talent. Over the years, child actors have gotten their start at fame on ABC’s longest running television drama. The 61 year old Soap Opera showcases these children’s acting skills with the potential to grow along with the show, or build their skills and talents then move onto other projects. Either way, child actors can ultimately become major characters as they get older.

The Iconic SORAS

However, not all child soap stars are so lucky. In fact, it’s very common for a daytime drama to play around with the ages of these characters. The daytime community and its audience likes to call this action, SORAS. Which stands for Soap Opera Rapid Age Syndrome. Therefore, one day little Bobbie Sue could be a 2 year old, then before you know it the child is miraculously a 15 year old attending PC High. While no Bobbie Sue actually resides in Port Charles, you can get my drift.

As for Emma Drake, General Hospital has stayed relatively true to the character’s actual age until recently. Still, Emma has not been SORASed with a recast with Silzer in the role. GH recaps recall that Emma Drake was born on November 4th, 2008, which makes her 15. I remember this vividly as I was pregnant at the same time as Kimberly McCullough’s character, Robin Scorpio Drake. Coincidentally, my daughter was born on October 17th, 2008, just before Robin gave birth to Emma. Unlike Emma, my daughter Lola is 15. Although they were born in the same year, Emma is meant to be about 22 years old at this time.

According to General Hospital news, Emma’s original birthday was changed from 2008 to 2006. Then it was revised again to 2005 and finally settled at 2002. In real life, GH news reports confirm that Emma’s portrayer Brooklyn Silzer was born on April 27th, 2006. Evidently, Silzer is approaching her 18th birthday!

Almost 18- GH’s Brooklyn Silzer Crowned Prom Queen- Living The American Teen Dream

According to General Hospital news and spoilers, Brooklyn Silzer’s life seems as sweet as it gets for an American teen. The General Hospital star is just shy of her 18th birthday and has even more to celebrate. Silzer’s recent Instagram post reveals exciting news about her personal life. Reportedly, Brooklyn Rae Silzer shared photos with friends as she lives her day to day teenage life. She’s living the American teen dream after being crowned Prom Queen!

General Hospital Spoilers: A Breakdown Of Clues Helps Piece Together Jason Morgan and Agent John Jagger Cate’s Story

Timing Is Everything

Hear me out. On January 4th, General Hospital announced Steve Burton’s long awaited return as Jason Morgan. Co-stars Steve Burton, Kelly Monaco, and Laura Wright surprised fans during GH’s 60th anniversary celebration in Prime Time. From that moment, GH fans couldn’t put down all the possibilities for Jason’s new storyline.

Jagger Isn’t Just Any Old FBI Agent- He Has Ties To Port Charles

Then, on February 6th, GH brings back an iconic character, John Jagger Cates. Adam Harrington debuts as Jagger. The role was previously played by Antonio Sabato Jr. While any old FBI Agent would do, GH decides to bring back a character with history. This storyline involving Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Anna Devane (Finola), Pikeman, and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), could have sufficed with a random Agent. Instead, they brought back someone who has ties to Port Charles. Specifically Jason Quartermaine/Morgan and Sonny Corinthos.

Jagger’s Got Beef Over Karen, And Jason Can’t Remember A Thing

GH recaps recall that Jagger recently disclosed that his beef isn’t with Jason Morgan. Nope. He admitted that his problem was with Jason Quartermaine, the man Morgan was before the accident. Oddly enough, Agent Cates, aka Jagger, incessantly name drops his and Jason Quartermaine’s ex, Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne). He can’t seem to get over the past.

Like Father, Like Son

Moreover, other clues lead to the latest GH rumors. Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) pointed out the similarities between her mom’s best friend Jason, and Dex, the man Joss loves. Dex and Jason were both loyal to Sonny, and even more loyal to Carly Spencer (Corinthos). They’re both honorable men whose skills come in handy when a life is at stake. Is it a coincidence that Jason and Dex both had a hand in saving Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) life? Like Jason, Dex puts his own life on the line like he has nothing to lose. When in reality, they both have a lot to lose.

Overall, the timing of both Jagger and Jason’s return raised questions among fans. The writers could have easily brought a new character to the canvas. Instead, GH chose to utilize a role that has connections to Sonny and Jason, and the rest of PC. In addition, Agent John Cates admitted that he still can’t stand Jason Quartermaine, the man Morgan used to be. Another clue is that Jason confessed that he cannot remember anything from his high school days due to injuries resulting from his and AJ’s (Sean Kanan) car accident.

Dear Old Dad, Scotty Baldwin

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Jason and Karen had a teen pregnancy. Most likely, Karen hid her pregnancy from Jason and almost everyone in Port Charles. So, how did she pull it off? Well, GH rumors tease that none other than dear old dad helped Karen cover up her pregnancy. Or Karen had a baby, where is the child now? Who is Karen and Jason’s secret child? One possibility has caused major debate among fans. Based on the latest GH rumors, today we know him as Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). Ironically, it just so happens that speculation around Dex’s paternity has been a hot topic among GH fans. GH recaps highlight Dex’s family history. His background seems blurry at best. Previously, we learned that he doesn’t get along with his brother’s. And his overall home life led him to stray from the family. According to GH rumors, Dex was adopted.

All of these clues paired with the fact that Soap Opera love a good “who’s the daddy?” story, leads to a highly possible outcome. Has Jagger’s resentment toward Jason lead him to have this vendetta?

General Hospital Spoilers: Portia Goes To Extremes- Will She Use Her Position As A Doctor As The Ultimate Weapon?

*Portia unethically treats Heather Webber*

There’s no doubt in my mind that Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) is a loving and protective mother and wife. She may not have made all of the right choices when it comes to her family life, but her heart is always with the ones that she loves.

When it comes to Trina, Portia’s fears run wild. The thought of losing her daughter generates fear within her. As a result, Portia’s fears, drive her to do things that she normally wouldn’t do.

According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Portia is in the position to take matters into her own hands. As a doctor, Dr. Robinson (Brook Kerr) took an oath to always ethically take care of her patients. Essentially, even if the patient is a criminal, Dr. Robinson took an oath to always do the best she can to save a life.

Portia Unethically Treats Heather Webber

GH spoilers tease that Portia is tempted to break the Doctor Hippocratic Oath. Indeed, Dr. Portia Robinson is a medical doctor. But first and foremost, she is a mother. As a mother, her instinct is to protect her daughter. That’s why she is willing to do whatever it takes to keep Trina (Tabyana Ali) from harm. First, Portia’s concern about Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and his family had her doing things she normally wouldn’t. And now that Heather Webber is a threat to Trina, Portia finds herself compromised yet again.

Will Trina use her position as a medical professional as the ultimate weapon against Heather?

General Hospital Spoilers: Will Carly Betray Jason? Is Carly Sleeping With The Enemy?

Will Carly betray Jason with Jagger — *Will Carly Betray Jason with Jagger?*

Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) isn’t known for her soft spoken nature. In fact, she’s know for her advocacy for speaking her mind in almost any situation.

Certainly, Carly hasn’t held back a bit when it comes to John, aka, Agent John Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington). She tells it like it is and doesn’t let anything slide. According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, a romance between Carly and Agent Cates could be brewing.

Is Carly Sleeping With The Enemy?

The chemistry between them is recognized by fans and has been a popular topic on social media platforms. GH recaps highlight their first few encounters at Bobbie’s. Their natural chemistry was imminent by their witty banter. Undeniably, something between them sparked.

Moreover, despite Jagger’s deceptive introduction, Carly didn’t hesitate to help the FBI Agent when he was in need. Someone had the sh!t kicked out of him and GH rumors hint that Drew (Cameron Mathison) is behind it. General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Carly and Agent Cates develop feelings for each other.

Will Carly betray Jason?

Jagger is forcing Jason to work for the FBI. Now that we know the nature of his leverage over Jason, the plot thickens. Evidently, Jason is protecting Carly. Not himself, and not Sonny. Therefore, if Carly becomes romantically entangled with Agent Cates, she wouldn’t just betray Jason, but she’d also betray herself.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ava’s Playing Someone And It’s Not Sonny

Ava Jerome (Maura West) has gone from a ruthless mobster to a loving mother and a dear friend. While there’s no doubt that she is a loving mother to her daughter Avery, her status as a “dear friend” is what’s in question.

Most definitely, Ava is a good friend to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). What’s between them is more than a friendship because Ava sees Trina as another daughter. Avery Corinthos is the light of Ava’s life, but losing Kiki (Hayley Erin) left a hole in her heart. Thankfully, Trina and Ava clicked. By no means does Trina take Kiki’s place, but she helps fill that void for Ava.

Port Charles is a small town, but Trina isn’t Ava’s only friend. Ava is a socialite. So she flutters around town making acquaintances, but has few deep connections. Seemingly, her strongest adult friendship is with Nina Reeves. Ava and Nina‘s friendship is quite strange given their history. According to GH, recaps, Nina kidnapped Sonny and Ava’s daughter Avery at birth. She went on to become Nina’s bestie and married Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Go figure.

As it turns out, GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nina and Ava aren’t really friends at all. Could it be that Ava’s playing Nina and has been this entire time? I mean, what mother can forgive her child’s kidnapper and then become the best of friends? Maybe only if that mother was psycho too!

Finn Leaves Port Charles After Gregory’s Death

However, GH comings and goings rumors suggest that he isn’t the only one making an exit. Apparently, GH star Michael Easton who plays Hamilton Finn, shared some questionable posts on his new Instagram account. According to recent General Hospital news and spoilers, GH’s Hamilton Finn shared nostalgic photos and clips from his career in the acting industry. The account is new, so it could just be that Easton wanted to build content on the page. But General Hospital rumors speculate that there’s a deeper meaning behind this recent posts.

Recent GH rumors tease that his father’s death hits Finn hard. As a way to reset, he leaves PC and follows his passion for Doctors Without Borders. Will Finn leave Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) behind?

General Hospital Spoilers: Drew Orchestrated The Brutal Crime Carly Witnessed

It’s official that Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) hasn’t been the same since he returned from Pentonville. He’s still the kind and generous Drew we’ve come to know, but that Drew now comes with boundaries.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Drew is headed down a dark path. He’s already begun to show signs of new character development. It started back with Sam and Drew’s disagreement about Scout’s school. Then, he made some impulsive decisions regarding Nina. Most recently, he abruptly broke up with Carly just because Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) came back. GH recaps recall that Pentonville seems to be Drew’s trigger, along with the woman who put him there.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that anger lives deep within Drew. He’s ready to release it upon any enemy. God help the next person who ruffles his feathers, as they may meet the same fate as Agent Cates, or worse. According to GH rumors, Drew orchestrated Jagger’s beating and this is just the beginning. He makes it know that he’s not going to let Jason’s drama get the best of him, or let it control his life. After Agent Cates approached Drew, he could have felt threatened, resulting in the idea that he had to take some sort of action.

Meanwhile, Carly becomes witness to a brutal beating. Because of his changed demeanor, GH fans wonder if Drew orchestrated Jagger’s beating. Do you think that he’s behind the savage attack on Agent Cates?

General Hospital Spoilers: A Breakdown Of Jason’s Greatest Loves- Are Jason and Carly Meant To Be?

Jason and Carly’s friendship has stood the test of time. But is it really simply friendship that has overcome every single including death? These two have been through it all together, and it’s not like they plan to give up on each other any time soon. If it were up to Jason and Carly, what they have would last forever.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) is fresh out of her relationship with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). It’s not that she’s looking for love again, but it’s something that’s been there all along. The one just might be right where Carly least expects it. Naturally, it’s plain to see that Jason and Carly have something special. Since he’s been back, their feelings seem stronger than ever before.

Jason (Steve Burton) has had his share of true loves. First, Sam McCall and Jason Morgan have been through it together. From their adventures and dangerous missions to their simple nights with Noodle Buddha carryout, Jason and Sam had everything. Then, Sam did a 180° and decided that Jason’s life was too dangerous now that kids came into the picture. JaSam fans are torn as some can’t believe Sam could turn on him. Does he deserve better?

GH recaps highlights Jason’s intense romance with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). The early 2000s brought on the JaSam and Liason wars as Jason and Sam fans and Liz and Jason fans were at odds. Elizabeth and Jason fell apart in the usual way. Despite not making it as a couple, their loyalty to one another remains strong.

In recent years, Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) stole Jason’s heart for a brief moment in time. She trusted him with her innermost secret about her health, and he valued her faith in him. Sadly, Jason was lessons dead and then Britt died from complications from the hook killer attack.

Will Sam and Elizabeth go another round in the fight for Jason’s heart? Or will Carly be the last woman he gives his heart to?
