The fate of the film industry was unclear just a few short months ago when the WGA went on strike this past May. Fast forward through Summer and the outlook seems brighter. Thankfully, conflict between the Writer’s Guild Association and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has been settled after nearly five months.
Reportedly, the WGA and AMPTP made a deal based on the tentative agreement that was reached. Still, the deal must await approval before the strike officially ends.
Details surrounding the film industry’s writer’s strike agreement have not yet been released. Technically, the WGA remains on strike but picketing ends. The strike is on until the negotiations committee votes. Until then, on whether to pass the agreement on to the WGAW Board and WGAE Council for approval. Evidently, negotiations were at a standstill over AI and staffing elements.
As for the actors, the SAG-AFTRA remains on strike and heads back to negotiate with AMPTP. So far, the WGA members will not return to work until their fellow actors reach an agreement as well. Check back for more updates regarding the final stages to end the strike.
I think that it’s safe to say that this is the moment everyone has been waiting for. As General Hospital fans, can you recall the last time that a storyline and/or character brought about an unanimous opinion?Honestly, has there ever been a time?
It’s not too often that a character and/or the storyline that goes along with the character is universally loved and cheered on. Yes, even Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) don’t hold that sort of fan base. But before anyone gets all up in arms and think that I don’t know that those two are the most popular GH, that’s not what I mean by universally loved.
The Moment We’ve All Been Waiting For- Sasha Plans Her Revenge
It’s true that more fans love Sonny and Jason than they don’t. But it’s about more than just being well-likes. That said, the Port Charles bad boys bring so many General Hospital fans together with their opinions. But, there are some fans who absolutely aren’t having anything to do with the mob. Which means; they’re aren’t interesting in Sonny and Jason whatsoever. So, you’re probably thinking that if Sonny and Jason don’t have a universal devotion from fans, then who the heck does?
According to GH spoilers, Sasha Gilmore doesn’t have a single enemy coming from GH fans. Of course, this is said with exaggeration, as I cannot possible know how every single fan seeks about Sasha (Sofia Gilmore). But I will say this, it takes a special kind of cold hearted snake to feel anything but compassion and motivation for Sasha to do well.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Sasha plans her revenge against Gladys now that she’s been rescued. The latest GH previews show that Sasha takes her life back. You can see her this week when she shows up as Gladys’s door! What’s Sasha have in store for her mother-in-law?
Who would have thought that Elizabeth and Finn would have come this far. The Doctor and the Head Nurse have been through so much together over the last few years. And what started out as friends/in-laws has become a romance.
Previously, a traumatic experience strengthened Dr. Finn (Michael Easton) and Elizabeth Webber’s (Rebecca Herbst) bond. After all, nothing says ride or die like helping each other cover up a homicide! Am I right?
General Hospital recaps recall that one fateful day when Finn got mixed up with the likes of Peter August (Wes Ramsey). It’s not like he had a choice. Instead, Finn was forced to play Peter’s twisted little game. Because if he didn’t, it could have cost Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) life. Thankfully, alls well that ends well, and Chase made a miraculous recovery while Peter August met his demise. Or so Finn and Liz thought.
Peter August Returns, Uses Charlotte To Destroy Anna
According to GH spoilers, Anna’s situation causes friction between herself and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Her safety is compromised after a series of events, including her house being burned to the ground. Moreover, GH rumors tease that Finn and Liz are stunned when Peter August’s whereabouts surface. What really happened after Elizabeth and Dr. Finn last saw him?
Meanwhile, Anna’s mystery terrorizer is on the loose and that raises concern. What ever happened to Peter when he was no longer in that freezer? How in the H E ???????? did he escape? Odds are, Peter didn’t climb out of the alone. Liz and Finn were positive that he was dead. But from the looks of things that’s probably not the case.
GH spoilers reveal that Anna’s on the right track. There’s no doubt that something going on with Charlotte Cassadine, but it’s hard to tell. She seems extra attached to Valentin lately. Furthermore, she’s behaving strangely with those tarot cards. Ultimately, Anna comes to terms with accepting that this is both personal and professional. There’s no doubt that what’s happening to Anna is on a personal level while carried out like a professional.
While it may look as though Charlotte is behind this, that could be what someone wants everyone to believe. Who better fits that narrative than Peter August!? What better way to get back at both Anna and Valentin? And using his daughter is the icing on the cake. Surely Peter fits the bill with his personal vendetta against Anna, and his experience working with professional criminals like Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Oh, and the fact that his not-so-dead body just disappeared.
It’s undeniable that Selina Wu (Lydia Look) is one intimidating woman. Can you forget the way she slapped Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) across the face? No. Me neither. It’s difficult to say who was more stunned. Cody, his portrayer, Josh, or the fans! Selina and Cody’s business conversation upon a turn when she suddenly hauled off and slapped him!
The Port Charles night life became a little more interesting when Selina Wu’s (Lydia Look) illegal poker room took up residence at The Savoy. GH recaps recall that Curtis and Selina made a deal. Against his better judgement, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) allowed Selina to run her illegal poker game room in the back of his nightclub.
Selina Isn’t Happy
Meanwhile, N’neka (Arlondriah Lenyéa) does all she can to keep things running smoothly for bother Curtis and Selina. Selina loves to throw her weight around the club as if she’s the owner. Recently, GH recaps recall that Ms. Wu proposed to purchase The Savoy from Curtis. So I guess one could argue that Selina is no longer satisfied by simply “acting like she owns the place.” Now she wants to actually own the place. Apparently, she isn’t about to listen to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and give up the poker room. She came to him because she thought he’d have her back. And when he didn’t, he struck a cord within her and now Sonny has a new enemy.
According to the latest GH spoilers, Curtis’s lead bartender learns the hard way. Selina doesn’t let people cross her and get away with it. That said, General Hospital spoilers indicate that N’neka needs to watch her back. She called Portia to tell her about Selina and Marshall’s strange encounter. What happens to N’neka next if Selina finds out what she’s done? It’s hard to tell, but what we do know is that Selina isn’t happy with N’neka.
N’neka’s loyalties lie with Curtis, however, Selina may not give N’neka a choice but to carry out her orders. Will N’neka agree to plot against Curtis?
Nikolas Cassadine was first introduced on General Hospital in 1996. Tyler Christopher originated the role and left a lasting legacy. While the time has changed hands a few times over the years, Tyler Christopher’s portrayal of Nikolas Cassadine is forever iconic.
In 2019, Marcus Coloma joined General Hospital cast as the 5th actor to play the infamous Dark Prince of Spoon Island. Despite the fresh faces that played Nikolas in between Christopher and Coloma, those two actors left behind the most memorable impressions.
Stephen Martines/Coltin Scott as Nikolas Cassadine
As GH recaps recall, Stephen Martinez, (alternative name Coltin Scott) also played Nikolas Cassadine. While I don’t speak for everyone, but to me it feels like his 1999-2003 run as the future ex-Mr. Ava Jerome (Nik) was more like 4 weeks than 4 years. Oddly enough, Coloma spent less time in the role than Martinez, yet it seems that GH fans have a tendency to overlook Martinez as the iconic Cassadine. With all due respect to Stephen, he’s a great actor. But some people just fit it happen, and for Nikolas Cassadine, that is Tyler Christopher and Marcus Coloma.
Jodi Vilasuso as new Nikolas Cassadine
Unexpectedly, General Hospital news reports confirmed that Marcus Coloma’s contract was not renewed, and the actor was leaving the 60 year old soap. Fans and co-stars were shocked when the news broke, causing many to question the TPTB’s decision.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nikolas is ready about ready to show his face. Maybe not in Port Charles quite yet, but he’s on the love. Previously, General Hospital hired Adam Huss to step in for Coloma on brief occasions, and then again when Marcus Coloma left General Hospital. This brought about confusion among fans, especially because of what what’s going on with Nikolas’s character. Ava Jerome had just bonked him over the head during the role change-up.
So naturally, confusion grew around whether or not Nikolas was dead. Did Ava really kill him? Also, how did he go missing? Meanwhile, Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth) had all of the answers. Obviously, we all know now that Bik is alive and well. The role was recast by Adam Huss, but there isn’t confirmation on whether or not Huss is here to stay. That said, GH spoilers tease that it’s possible that Y&R star, Jodi Vilasuso is gearing up to play the infamous Nikolas Cassadine.
Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is being targeted and terrorized by an unknown enemy. After months of searching for answers while living in fear, Anna is closer to closure than she realizes. As it turns out, Valentin made an alarming discovery with his good friend Nina Reeves’s (Cynthia Watros) help.
To their dismay, the security footage showed Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) entering into Anna’s suite. Naturally, Valentin is beside himself after what Nina pulled up on the screen. And as the good friend Nina is, she continues to help Valentin by keeping Anna and even Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) from the truth. Or, the truth as Nina and Valentin see it.
According to the latest GH spoilers and rumors, Valentin could be dead wrong about his daughter. Just because they saw her enter the room, doesn’t mean that she did all those things to Anna and her belongings.
Moreover, fans have noticed that Charlotte and Jake Webber have been spending more and more time together. While it looks like Charlotte is jealous that Anna will take Papa’s love and affection, sharp-as-a-tac fans recall that Jake was kidnapped by Helena Cassadine and seemingly brainwashed. Then, the storyline fell off and never developed. It might be too obvious for Charlotte to be the culprit. Instead, recent GH rumors speculate that Jake may have something to do with it. Is it possible that the effects of Helena’s programming has come out in Jake?
What can I say, this has been a tough year for the General Hospital family. But this week has really done a number on fans and the entire industry. Billy Miller was a talented, genuine soul who lit up not just the screen, but the whole room.
As tributes for Billy Miller continue to pour in, Maurice Benard’s outreach contains a powerful message. Ultimately, mental health awareness is a way of life for the three-time Daytime Emmy winner. While many tributes displayed the most genuine love and support, Maurice Benard takes things to a more serious level, and touches on the issue at hand.
Maurice Benard On Billy Miller and Mental Health
Benard’s YouTube series, State of Mind, allows for open dialogue about life and mental health. As a bi-polar disorder sufferer, Miller’s death hit very close to home for General Hospital’s leading man. According to General Hospital news reports, Benard shared an Instagram post that brings awareness to mental health and suicide. Check out his IG post below!
Since the pandemic I have been speaking out on Suicide quite a lot, in the beginning, I was hesitant, I didn’t know how people would handle it. But it’s been very encouraging so I have not stopped talking about it!!! It’s hard to really understand Mental illness unless you have experienced the depths of pain that comes with it. This is a @mbstateofmind i did about two months ago but there’s many. And I promise you there will be many many more to come if you know anyone who is going through any kind of darkness, chaos, pain. Just know, all you can do is give them love, patience, understanding, and hopefully Professional help if they agree. And unfortunately, if someone doesn’t want to be on this earth anymore, there’s only so much we can do just remember, it’s not your fault never blame yourself

if you’re feeling in any kind of way, like life is not worth living for don’t think twice to talk to someone take it from the most fragile person in the world you can get through it. And life has a way of rewarding you.
Sadly, today marks one full year since Johnny Wactor’s last day on ABC’s General Hospital. In just under three years, Wactor established a devoted fan base that has stuck with him even after having left GH.
On the anniversary of his GH exit, fans share a behind the scenes video of Johnny Wactor’s emotional speech. First, if you need a a refresher, check out the GH recaps in the article below.
We couldn’t help but get nostalgic when we same across this video in our social media feed. Undoubtedly, many General Hospital fans miss Brando Corbin and curse Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) name for what she’s done. Previously, Wactor left the door open to return to the 60 year old soap.
It’s always a party when Scotty Baldwin is around! It looks like Lucy is ready to let loose in the midst of some very stressful times. Personally and professionally Lucy’s got a lot going on at the moment.
First, let’s rewind a bit to mid-Spring. That’s when General Hospital star announced that his role as Scotty Baldwin has been written out of the script. You can check out the article from May 17th by clicking on the title below.
According to GH news reports, Kin Shriner returns to GH with style. I mean, it can’t get much more stylish than strolling back into Port Charles, then having Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) on his arm. Although recent GH spoilers and previews indicate Lucy is trash to party, Scotty doesn’t look like he’s really in the mood. But recent General Hospital rumors indicate that bad mood or not, Scotty’s arrival helps Lucy in her time of need.
Is Deception going to need a new lawyer to handle this intense case? Both Blair, Kramer and Tracy, Carter, Maine or ruthless business women who aren’t just going to roll over in the quart room. Besides, Jack Montgomery, attorney-at-law is representing them. Even if Scotty becomes a Lucy’s lawyer, do they stand a chance up against Montgomery?
It starts. The bond between Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) starts now. For Dex, that bond likely already started the night Sonny invited him to sit down for some pasta. That’s when Dex really saw another side of Sonny. Suddenly, things looked differently to Dex ever since he realized that Sonny has a genuine heart.
According to GH recaps, Sonny made a comment to Dex. It was in the heat of their Pikeman conversation when Sonny verbally expressed that he was impressed by Dex. First, he asked for Dex’s input on the Pikeman situation which lead to his impeccable attention to detail. Then, Sonny was pleased at how through Dex’s thought process was. He said, “Damn. Turned you on and you just go.”
It seems to me that Sonny is starting to notice little things about Dex. And sooner than later he begins to realize something. According to GH spoilers, Dex reminds Sonny of Jason. He begins to notice similarities between his new enforcer and his life-long friend.
Previously, General Hospital rumors made claims that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is Dex’s father. However, the rumor began gaining more credibility once GH casting rumors claim that Steve could be headed back to General Hospital. How long before Sonny puts the pieces together and figures out that Dex is Jason’s son?
