John McBain played by Michael Easton is leaving Port Charles and heading back to Llanview. It’s said that McBain will leave PC to be with his girlfriend Natalie and son Liam. But before you get upset that this new leading guy is splitting the scene, have no fear because word is out that he will only be gone temporarily and will be back at the end of Summer.
Did You Miss the GH Segment on CNN This Morning?
This actually brought some tears of pride and happiness to my eyes as I watched this today. Proud to be a devoted fan, and happy that there is hope for the future. General Hospital has come along way since a the cancellation of AMC and OLTL. It is sad that some executives did not have the faith in soap operas that they do now, causing us to lose two amazing, American iconic soaps. But we cannot change the past, and we need to hold on to and be grateful for what we have. We also need to thank who is responsible, Frank Valentini, Ron Carlivati, and the ENTIRE cast of actors and crew for making our show as fabulous as it is, and of course we the FANS! For holding on, staying involved, and not giving up. I am so excited to share this with all the fans, so please click here to watch the CNN video segment on the BEST SOAP OPERA EVER, GENERAL HOSPITAL.
General Hospital Keeps Getting Better
Whether you love, despise, like, or could care less about some of the story lines on GH right now, no one can deny that General Hospital is at an outstanding high. There is so much excitement going on in Port Charles it is impossible to not be hooked. I totally understand the frustration of certain fan bases, because not all fans are going to be happy 100 percent of the time. But think about it, how would that even be possible? Right now, The Sonny and Brenda fans loathe the Sonny and Kate (SKate) pairing. The JaSam fans hate the fact that Liz is even breathing, and the baby switch story? Forget it! The writers are getting a lot of crap for a lot of things, but I really think it comes with the territory. Soap fans are dedicated and devoted, and basically throw their souls into the characters and couples they love most. No matter which story line is fueling your fire or feeding your passion for the show, we have to give credit to the writers and producers for keeping General Hospital and all it’s fans on the edges of their seats, and I am personally grateful for how the stories have been handled lately. In all the 20 years I have been watching this show, I have never witnessed such progression in the plots. For the first time, the stories aren’t being dragged on for decades. Take today’s episode for instance, Sam confronts Jason about the attack on McBain. In the past, this NEVER would have happened so fast. She would have hemmed and hawed, confided in someone else, Jason would have tried to hide it from Sam, someone would overhear something… so on and so forth. I LOVE the fact that they are just rolling right along, REALISTICALLY. I think that is what is keeping everyone on their toes. There is no down time. Even Heather tampering with the paternity, the big reveal that Jason is the daddy, didn’t take that long to come out. Sure we found out a few months ago that Franco was the baby’s Father, and we all speculated that Heather had something to do with it. But the truth came out fast and easy. It was enjoyable to watch Heather with the results directly, no beating around the bush, no guessing games. I really want to say how amazing Ron Carlivati and Frank Valentini and all the other cast and crew are making this show. The actors have been stellar and giving it their all. This is such a great time for General Hospital and we have the cast and crew to thank. Please keep supporting our show!
TV Guide Interviews GH’s Anthony Geary
Anthony Geary (GH’s Luke Spencer) sat down for an interview with TV Guide to talk about his Emmy nomination, Guza, Jake’s death, his “four way romance,” as TV Guide calls it, and gushes about Jonathan Jackson. Despite all the Guza ‘hate’ generated from GH fans everywhere, Geary talks about how he gave him his best material. Luke has a lot going on right now with three woman in the picture. Luke is currently playing opposite Anna (Finola Hughes), Tracy (Jane Elliot), and Heather (Robin Mattson). And thanks to Frank Valentini, we will be seeing a lot more of the truly mischievous Luke at his finest. I was so pleased to come across this interview this morning I would like to share it with all of you. Its very nice to see Luke in the spotlight again, and Anthony Geary is pleased as well. Please take time to read the full TV Guide interview with Anthony Geary, just click here.
Laura Wright on ABC’s The Chew: Don’t Hate!
General Hospital’s Carly Corinthos Jacks (Laura Wright) will be joining the cast of The Chew today, May 31st at 1PM Eastern/Standard time. Strong opinions against this have been circulating the soap fan world, as they are not happy with Laura’s decision. As we all know, The Chew is the replacement show for our beloved soap All My Children. I have not ever watched The Chew or The Revolution. However, I will watch The Chew today solely to support GH star, Laura Wright. I don’t think Laura is doing a bad thing here. The damage has already been done, our soaps have already been canceled. Laura is supporting her network, ABC, and her winery, Standing Sun Wines. The way I see it, having Ms. Wright on The Chew can only do good things for General Hospital. I think ABC actually made a smart move by having someone from General Hospital on The Chew. Who knows, it may even draw more people to General Hospital. As for the possibility of upping the ratings for The Chew because of Laura, it will work for today, but I highly doubt it will cause wild popularity for the show in the long run. And I am good with that. I will be watching today, and any other day that The Chew will honor our soap GH by having one of the stars as a guest and promoting General Hospital. Will I watch The Chew any other time? Heck no. Simply because I don’t even watch those types of shows. Please stop hating on Laura Wright for her decision to support her network, promote GH, and have some fun!
(Dr. Ewen Keenan) Nathin Butler is NOT Leaving GH
I have had a lot of requests for this one. So here I am to confirm that Nathin Butler (Dr. Ewen Keenan) is NOT leaving General Hospital. Fans have been concerned since we haven’t seen him lately. A few days ago he confirmed via Twitter that he is sticking around Port Charles, and is on the show as recurring. There are lots of fans that hope for a Dr. Keenan and Elizabeth romance, and with this news it may actually have a chance to happen. 🙂

The Truth Comes Out! What’s Going to Happen to Bad Boy Johnny Z.?
Well yesterday’s GH was simply fantastic. With all those twists and turns in the plot I almost thought I was on some huge Cedar Point roller coaster despite my fear of heights and the simple fact that I have never once been on one, haha. But needless to say GH got me all turned upside down in a roller-coaster exciting rush sort of way. At first I was so confused watching Connie and Johnny go back and forth and tell their stories. I thought, how could they both think they did it? Then Johnny made it all clear, and even did the unthinkable. Anthony Zaccharra is now dead and the blood is on his own grandson’s hands. I am sad to see Bruce Weitz (Anthony) leave the show, I have loved his villain portrayal since his first day on GH. Who would have thought, a main character monster would actually go through with killing another main character on this show? And his own flesh and blood nonetheless. Johnny has always had a soft sweet side, unlike his ever so cold Grandfather, Anthony. Yesterday he shocked us all by coming out with how he plotted to shoot out Anthony’s tires, and convinced Connie to take the blame. What is going to happen to Johnny now? Dante looked like he was on Johnny’s tail in the preview, but that doesn’t mean it won’t take forever to come out. How long will Johnny be able to hide Anthony’s body? I don’t see how this man won’t be spending some time in jail. From shooting out Anthony’s tires and inadvertently killing Cole and Hope, to convincing Connie to lie, and then ultimately killing Anthony, how can he NOT end up in jail? Anything can happen on GH though. Brandon Barash confirmed that he is not leave GH, so maybe we will get to see him in lock up for a while. Oh boy, Carly is NEVER going to take him back once all this comes out. She put her trust in him not only romantically, (which he failed her miserably), but also as a person. She defended him to everyone and swore up and down Johnny wasn’t the one to shoot out Anthony’s tires. After all, she was his alibi. They were together that night, but she was fast asleep when he slipped out. Carly won’t take this lightly, she isn’t one to be made a fool of. If you’re a Carly and Johnny fan, I fear there isn’t much hope for reconciliation. I just can’t wait to keep watching.
The Davis Girls Stick Together
Kristina (Lindsey Morgan) is coming home to PC in just a few days, and now more than ever will The Davis Girls really need each other. Sam disclosed her deep secret about Franco and the baby to Molly, and like any good sister, Molly was there for Sam to listen and comfort. Haley Pullos is such a good actress and is just so lovable. She brings innocence and intelligence to Molly which is something fresh for a child character. It makes me happy that Molly isn’t a snotty, bratty, defiant little child. It is nice to see a well behaved teen on a soap. (Except for sneaking around with TJ, but that isn’t so bad). Hopefully Molly’s current actions with TJ won’t go any further than what they have. So let’s leave the bad girl image to her sister Kristina! We know that Kristina has done things in the past just to get under Sonny’s skin and to get his attention. Now that she is back from college, she will be more defiant than ever. This trouble maker will need the love and support of her sisters, and I am sure Sam will have to intervene in some arguments between Alexis and Kristina. I am really excited to see these girls working together in their upcoming story lines. Alexis, Kristina, and Molly will be able to help Sam through this rough time because that’s what the Davis Girls do!

Is Dr. Ewen Keenan Going to Recover?
Ever since Connie clocked Dr. Keenan over the head and put him in the ICU at GH, fans have been asking the question, “Is Dr. Ewen Keenan leaving GH?” Although there has been no confirmation, only speculation and assuption that has lead me to believe that no, Dr. Keenan will not be leaving GH and the actor who portrays him, Nathin Butler, is not going anywhere. Bulter will be tweeting with fans LIVE today during the East and West Coast airing of General Hospital. In my opinion, I don’t think the actor/character would be departing if he is just starting to get to know his fans better. If you have a Twitter account, follow @NathinButler and chat with him this afternoon. If you don’t have Twitter, sign up!

Jason Cook (Matt Hunter) is Leaving GH
Jason Cook who plays Dr. Matt Hunter, brother to Dr. Patrick Drake is leaving General Hospital next month. The actor has projects lined up for this Summer. And if his project with Bradfor Anderson (Spinelli) gets funded, he will be busy with that too. Cook was going to take months off this Summer for these other projects, but now he is just exiting the show. There isn’t word if he will be back or not, it has been left up in the air. What will this mean as far as the story line goes? How will Dr. Matt leave and how will Patrick take this? I am wondering if he will go to jail for killing Lisa. Is there hope for Maxie and Spinelli to get back together?
