As GH fans, General Hospital Blog knows exactly how it feels to lose a beloved character, as well as how it feels to love (or hate) a newby. Whatever emotions are flowing through at the time someone leaves or enters the canvas, fans can be sure to get the latest information on our GH comings and goings page.
Does Cyrus die? No one really believed Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) when he said he’s a changed man and a follower of God. In fact, not even his sister Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) took him seriously.
Inside Pentonville, Cyrus preaches God’s word, sending messages through his teachings. Surprisingly, as crazy as it sounds, Cyrus has changed. He no longer initiates violence, but will engage if needed. Gone are the days when Cyrus was the reason people became addicted to drugs. Sadly, no one can forget what he did to Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) and how it lead her down a dark path. Not to mention how he orchestrated the bomb that put Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) in a coma.
According to GH recaps, Cyrus claims he isn’t the same man he once was. He even stands up for those who need support and does what he can to help keep the peace. Whether Cyrus has turned a new leaf or not might be a moot matter if he doesn’t survive this Pentonville attack. Luckily, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) came busting in, and fought the attacker off. Although Drew came on clutch with his skills, it might be too late for Cyrus. According to the latest GH spoilers and previews, Drew springs into action as the villain-turned-vigilante suffers a heart attack. Is Drew able to save him, or does Cyrus die?
Carly initiates Cameron’s return! Cameron Webber (William Lipton) went off to college and to play college soccer. He may have lost Josslyn, but he’s got a bright future ahead of him. Now, he’s headed home for a little while.
General Hospital spoilers tease that Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is thrown for a loop when her ex-boyfriend comes back to Port Charles. She and Cam weren’t on the best of terms upon his departure. In fact, what happened between them became a factor in his decision to leave. Last time he checked, Joss was still with Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), the guy she fell for as she was falling out of love with Cam. That can’t be easy to swallow. But Cameron has had some time to sit with the situation and is stronger than when he left.
According to GH spoilers, Carly initiates Cameron’s return to Port Charles. Now that she owns Kelly’s she’s going to need to be shown the ropes from someone who knows how it all works. Before he left for college, Cameron pretty much ran the diner by himself, leaving him with a lot of experience.
GH news reports have yet to confirm William Lipton’s upcoming GH status. Since March, Lipton’s focus has been on his band, The Runarounds, along with other projects.
Who will play Lulu Spencer? General Hospital fans immediately took issue with Lulu Spencer’s (Emme Rylan) absence in Port Charles. Ever since Emme’s GH exit, fans have rallied to bring Emme Rylan back to the role.
General Hospital Recaps: After an unnecessary tragic accident, Luke and Laura’s daughter slipped into a coma, leaving her loved ones behind. However, life goes on as it always does. Right before the accident, Lulu broke things off with (deceased) Dustin Phillips(Mark Lawson) and was about to tell Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) how she feels. Unfortunately, Lulu never got the chance.
Currently, Dante moved on with Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), and they’re living happily with their kids. Meanwhile, Dante remains close to Charlotte, Lulu and Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) daughter. According to GH spoilers, something might come out of Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) and Dante’s hospital visit. Lulu’s daughter and ex-husband sat by her bedsides as they expressed how they miss her. GH spoilers and rumors tease that their conversation was the crack in the door that will open for her return.
General Hospital news reports confirm that Emme Rylan exited GH back in 2020. When her character was written out of the script, Rylan took to social media to explain that it was not her choice to leave. That being said; she added that she’d be willing to return if and when Lulu is written back into the script. Click HERE for the story.
Who Will Play Lulu Spencer?
As the storyline gears up for Lulu’s awakening, General Hospital fans wonder if the role will be recast. As the majority of discussions revolve around Emme Rylan, recent GH rumors claim that Alexa Havins replaces Rylan as Lulu Spencer. Keep in mind that GH news reports have. Or confirmed any casting changes.
As GH news recall, many GH fans remember Julie Berman as Rylan’s predecessor. Understandably, it’s sometimes difficult to become accustomed to a new face in an established role. Therefore, Rylan has been fan’s most recent choice.
That being said, if you had to choose, should Emme Rylan reprise the role, or should the role be recast?
Nelle comforts Nina! Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is so close to her happy ending. She has her man, she’s found her daughter, and her daughter is going to live! Additionally, Willow is starting to come around, and that’s all Nina asks. One step at a time, Nina and Willow inch closer to a relationship.
General Hospital spoilers tease that Nina faces the music. Inevitably, her reign of lies and deception come to an end. After all of her victories and in all of her glory, Nina then finds herself alone. Eventually, everything she has stolen from Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), and everything she’s lied to obtain is swept out from underneath her feet.
Aside from all she’s done to Carly, Nina is also the reason why Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) is in Pentonville. He could be home with his family. But instead, he’s serving time. When Nina turned Carly and Drew in to the SEC, she set a series of unfortunate events in motion. One being that she compromised her fiancé after the Feds got wind of Carly and Drew’s crimes. Moreover, the blame fell on Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth). Because of Nina, one thing led to another and now Olivia, Leo, Brook Lynn, and Tracy are stuck with Eddie Maine. So many have suffered at her hand, and now she’s about onto face the music.
Nina is Finally Exposed
According to GH spoilers and rumors, Nina loses everything she worked so hard climbing over people to get. When she’s exposed, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and everyone else turn their backs on Nina, leaving her with no one. No Sonny, no Willow, and all the loved ones tied to these connections. Since finding out that she missed her chance with Nelle, Nina had blamed Carly for every single thing that’s happened to her. Including her poor relationships with her two daughters. Nina can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to her long lost children. But will she have another chance with either Willow or Nelle?
GH rumors tease that Nelle comforts Nina when Willow and everyone else walks away. Is Nelle alive, or will she come to Nina again in a vision?
Laura reunites with Lulu and Nikolas! One mother will soon rest much easier as she regains what she’s lost. Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) has suffered a great deal over the last few years.
GH Recaps: First, Laura’s daughter fell victim to a bombing that was orchestrated by Laura’s brother Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Lulu wound up in a coma and has yet to awaken. Then, Laura struggled to find peace within her family as Nikolas and Spencer’s relationship deteriorated. Furthermore, Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) torturous agenda loomed over Laura’s family like a dark cloud.
GH Recaps: Meanwhile, Laura and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) embarked on their mission to locate Nikolas. They’ve arrived at their destination and began their investigation. General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that obstacles are inevitable, but Laura and Valentin inch closer to finding her son.
Despite Mason Gatlin’s (Nathanyael Grey) hold on Nikolas, he isn’t the one calling the shots. If things go south and Valentin and Laura get caught, who discovers them? If not Mason, could Laura come face to face with the person in charge?
Back in Port Charles, Dante Falconeri took Lulu and Valentin’s daughter, Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) to visit Lulu in the long term care facility. Then, they reminisced about the good times and wished for her return. The scene was completely devoted to Lulu’s recovery, which lead to GH rumors of her return.
GH news and spoilers indicate that Nikolas is bound to appear on canvas soon, details to follow. According to GH news, no recent updates have been added regarding Lulu, if Emme Rylan will reprise her role, if Lulu is recast, or if she’s set to return quite yet. Keep checking back for updates!
Lulu Spencer returns?! Lulu Spencer Falconeri’s tragedy has to be one of the most senseless storylines. So far, nothing has done of Lulu’s absence. Emme Rylan’s sudden GH exit caused hysteria among fans. The news came out if left field, even to the actress.
GH news reports confirm that Emme Rylan left General Hospital when her character, Lulu Spencer Falconeri was written out of the script. She left the show in December of 2020. Ever since, fans remain persistent in requesting her return. The actress has expressed on several occasions that she did not choose to leave. Previously, Rylan took to Instagram to address a GH return. You can read her statement HERE.
Recently, GH spoilers reveal that Lulu was name dropped in a pretty big way. The entire scene was devoted to Lulu’s recovery as her ex-husband and daughter kept hope alive. General Hospital recaps recall Friday’s July 27th episode. In the scenes with Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez ) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), they sat by Lulu’s bedside, reminiscing and daydreaming. Charlotte made it clear that she misses her mother and wants her home. As expected, Dante agreed. So, what if Lulu wakes up? Where will that leave Dante and Sam (Kelly Monaco)?
Lulu became victim of a bombing that was perpetrated by her Uncle Cyrus (Jeff Kober), and ended up in a coma. Interestingly, since Lulu’s tragic accident and Rylan’s exit, nothing has come of that storyline. Until now, keeping Lulu alive but off-canvas served no purpose. However, GH rumors hint that when Lulu finally awakens (and she’ll definitely awaken at some point), Dante and Sam’s relationship face its biggest challenge.
GH news has yet to confirm or deny news on Emme’s status. We will keep fans updated on the latest developments!
Molly’s fertility crisis has been building up for some time. As the storyline develops, Molly’s permanent recast steps in.
Lately the Davis girls have been going through it. Each one of them deals with personal issues in their own way. Most importantly, Sam, Kristina, and Molly can always confide in their mom, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Molly’s current storyline is front and center despite recent cast changes.
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Haley Pullos is OUT. Sources say she was let go by the iconic soap opera after a start this Spring. You can catch up here with GH RECAPS. First, Holiday Mia Kriegel stepped in. She wasn’t on long enough for fans to warm up to her before GH recast Molly Lansing Davis again. Shortly after Kriegel’s debut, she was unexpectedly recast. This move confused fans as Molly’s storyline happens to be a focal point.
According to GH news and spoilers, Brooke Anne Smith is now the second recast to play Molly since Haley’s arrest. Brooke Anne Smith’s debut caused a stir among fans, resulting in online discussions and backlash. Fans comments fixated on the actress’s age. That being said, some are critical of a 39 year old who plays an early 20-something’s role. However, it’s a well-known fact that actors are cast in roles of all ages, all the time.
Meanwhile, while fans express their opinions, Brooke Anne Smith’s brother jumps to he defense. Scott Smith posted on Facebook regarding his sister’s newfound real life and reel life drama. GH news and spoilers suggest that Haley Pullos was let go and Smith is set to replace her for the foreseeable future.
Carly buys Kelly’s from Bobbie! Life came at Carly pretty hard the last few years. She lost her husband and her hotel to a lying fraud. On top of it all, she faced Federal charges for insider trading, and her boyfriend is doing time. Thanks Nina! ????????
It’s been rough but Carly knows how to get back on her feet. Undoubtedly, Carly Spencer (formerly Corinthos) pulls through her hardships and comes out on top. GH spoilers hint that Carly’s epic bounce-back starts with Kelly’s Diner.
Back in the 1980s, General Hospital introduced Port Charles hotspot, Kelly’s Diner. It was founded by Paddy and Rose Kelly, and by 1984, it was owned by Ruby Anderson. From then on, the Spencer family has carried on the business name.
Currently, the waterfront diner remains one of the most popular grub restaurants stops in Port Charles, and remains a family-owned business. According to General Hospital spoilers, Carly buys Kelly’s from Bobbie for a dollar! In a heartwarming scene, Carly told her daughter Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) that she is now the proud new owner of Kelly’s!
GH Script Foreshadows Fate
According to General Hospital news, Laura Wright opened up about the her current storyline. Coincidentally, Bobbie’s involvement in Carly’s comeback happens to include a symbolic gesture giving Jackie Zeman’s passing. As GH rumors claimed that Carly and Bobbie’s transaction was written as nod after Jackie’s death, Laura Wright shuts down the rumors.
The iconic leading lady shed some light on Carly’s current storylines, and its relationship to Jackie Zeman’s unexpected death. Laura Wright tells Soap Opera Digest, “This whole beat was written before Jackie passed away. They have not had the character of Bobbie die and Carly doesn’t inherit Kelly’s from the character, which would have been a beautiful thing, but this was a choice made by the writer’s awhile ago.”
It’s comforting to think that the script foreshadows fate. It’s almost like they somehow knew that having a Carly buy Kelly’s from Bobbie would be of greater significance. Keep checking back for updates the developing stories.
…By now most of the General Hospital audience is aware of the film industry’s current state of affairs. Since May, the WGA has been on strike. Contract negotiations between the WGA and the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producer) are at a standstill. As a result, the GH writing team strikes along with the entire WGA.
Basically, writers aren’t writing without an updated agreement with the AMPTP. It’s as simple as that. Additionally, the arts stick together as the actors support their writing team.
What does this mean for General Hospital, the writers, the actors, and even the fans? Well, the actors film scenes like rapid fire, knocking out multiple scenes/episodes. Early call times and late night dismissals are typical of a soap opera actor. Because of this, there’s an estimated 6 weeks or so of episodes filmed ahead of time. Previous GH spoilers and news reports confirmed that the strike began on May 2nd. During this time, the episodes were still written by GH’s official team. However, they’ve now run out of episodes, and the strike has not been settled.
Due to the ongoing negotiations, General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the GH writing team’s last aired episode. Last week, GH writer, Shannon Peace took to Instagram to make an announcement. Peace revealed that Thursday’s episode was the writing teams last until things are resolved.
GH’s Temporary Writing Team Steps In
According to General Hospital spoilers, there’s about to be some changes in Port Charles. GH writer Shannon Peace made a statement regarding the on-going negotiations and shed some light on the situation. She explained, “My episode that aired Thursday, July 20 was my final until the strike is over. Starting Tuesday, the writing team of GH will be watching alongside fans to see what happens… for the sake of the fans, I hope the show is in capable writing hands. But I have to also acknowledge the pain of knowing that characters we’ve developed, relationships we built and stories we planned are being handled by others. Still, my hope is that if you love GH, you’ll continue to watch. You can morally support the writers AND keep the show the air!”
In addition, Peace penned thoughtful insight and harsh reality regarding the situation. She added, “Daytime writers face a unique conflict during strikes. We hate to see our characters and storylines handed over to ‘writers’ who cross the picket line. But we are also keenly aware that stopping production could spell the demise of the soap operas. Hoping that the AMPTP does the right thing soon, not just for writers, but for the integrity of the storytelling.”
Episodes written by replacement writers begin on Tuesday, July 25th. Peace admits that these storylines may or may not follow the long story course that is provided by the Head Writers. Right now, the direction this is going is anyone’s guess.
We pray for these organizations to reach an understanding. So much is at stake as careers are in jeopardy. Moreover, these shows are so important to the fans. Please check back with General Hospital Blog for updates and developments regarding the WGA strike.

Moreover, Port Charles is a mess. GH spoilers tease that those who lead a life of crime, and those who serve and protect against crimes are essential groups of dedicated people. Together, the PCPD and organized crime take the steps needed to take back the city. Those who typically call the are now bowing down to demands. The experienced and able are also the targets.
