Rick Springfield will be accompanied by his real life son, Liam Sprinthorpe, a new to Port Charles character who will be an undercover cop. Springfield’s son has a band called History Lessons. He stated that he feels a bit weird being on the same show with his Dad, but also feels a bit of comfort knowing that GH help launch his Father’s career.

Michael Fairman Interviews Steve Burton

This Michael Fairman interview with Steve Burton is absolutely amazing. All the questions the fans have been asking since Steve left General Hospital have finally been answered. Many fans are disgruntled, confused, and even angry at what they THINK the facts are related to the entire situation. From Steve leaving GH to move to Tennessee, to then returning to soaps by joining The Young and The Restless, to the way Jason was written off; fans thought the worst of Steve and/or ABC. I sure hope ALL General Hospital and Steve Burton fans read this interview.
The rumors about Steve plotting to go to Y&R all along, or the executives at GH not offering Burton a compromise are untrue. Steve Burton also explains that Jason’s send off was due to lack of time. Time was running out and the writing team had to come up with something. It would be really great to stop reading such negativity from fans who think Steve was untruthful or that ABC just didn’t care enough to keep him. That is entirely not the case. In the interview, Michael asks Steve about the day he left. Steve explains how difficult it was emotionally and mentions that it was very hard on Maurice Benard (Sonny). This actually brought tears to my eyes. He also mentioned that it was very difficult leaving Kelly Monaco Sam), and that it is still weird not being able to see her everyday.
Michael Fairman also asked Steve if there were plans for Jason’s return to GH for the anniversary show. Steve Burton expressed that he would love to come back for the 50th, but since he is now on CBS he is not sure if that will be allowed. All this being out it the open, I hope fans and Steve Burton have closure now in regards to what really happened during and after the time of his exit. After all thins said and done, Steve did what was best for his family and his life.

Maurice Benard’s New Film: ‘The Ghost and the Whale’ Trailer

Hi all! I know I don’t typically post about outside projects or what the actors are doing in their personal lives, (except Kelly Monaco and DWTS), but I felt that Maurice’s  amazing work should be recognized. Not only is he a General Hospital vet who we can’t imagine the show without, his talents exceed more than what we see every day at 2PM. It’s apparent in his work that he is an extremely talented actor. His multifaceted artistic talents never cease to amaze. Now GH’s favorite mobster, Sonny Corinthos, played by Maurice Benard, is stepping into a new role in a film called “The Ghost and the Whale.” We are very excited to get to see him in another project along with his work on General Hospital. Check out the 30 second trailer of the film!

Julie Marie Berman (Lulu) Leaving General Hospital?

A recent article in Soaps in Depth magazine suggests that the actress Julie Marie Berman, who plays Lulu Spencer Falconeri, may be leaving General Hospital. Her contract with the show is ending soon and Berman is undecided on whether or not she will stay. She wants to pursue other endeavors but may extend her role a few months to give Lulu a proper send off. GH has also sent out a casting call notice for a possible recast. If the role of Lulu does indeed get recast, how would you all feel if Jen Lilley was the one to take Julie’s place?

Dr. Steven Webber is Stabbed

Olivia has a hallucination and sees her fiance Dr. Steven Webber get stabbed walking out of the shower. This time, Olivia’s hallucination is a premonition in it’s truest form. As we know that Scott Reeves is leaving General Hospital, Olivia’s vision will come true and his character, Steven Lars (Steven Webber) will die. There’s a serial killer on the loose. Will Steve fall victim of a random killing? Or will his Mother, Heather be involved?

Will Robin Come Home for The Nurses Ball?

It has been months since Anna came close to finding out Robin was actually alive. Anna almost discovered that Heather was actually telling the truth, and that her daughter was indeed alive and being held at a clinic in Switzerland by Cesar Faison. Robin’s Father Robert was injured in the process of trying to get to the bottom of the Duke/Faison story and is now in a coma. Although Robin is spoken of often, we still have not seen when or how Robin’s loved ones will find out she is alive and be reunited. As we all know, General Hospital’s 50th anniversary is coming up, along with the legendary Nurses Ball. GH has been and continues to be full of surprises in anticipation for the big day, April 1st, 2013. This leads to a burning question that fans have been trying to find an answer to. Is Kimberly McCullough coming back to GH for The Nurses Ball? There hasn’t been any news confirming the return of actress Kimberly McCullough as Robin Scorpio in time for the Nurses Ball. However, that may be because they are trying to keep at least one of the returns a surprise for the fans during the time of GH’s 50th anniversary celebration. I know Robin has been a hot topic for General Hospital fans and everyone would love to see her resurface for the big event. As of now, there is no confirming news that let’s us know either way whether she will be back or not. General Hospital Blog will update any news regarding Kimberly McCullough/Robin’s return.
