On the July 19th episode of General Hospital, Kirsten Storms aired her last episode as her character, Maxie Jones skipped town, destination Texas. Thankfully, her departure is only temporary.
General Hospital news reports confirmed Storms took a leave of absence due to her recent brain surgery. On July 30th, Kirsten revealed that she is back on the set of GH, filming new episodes as Maxie Jones.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Kirsten shared the news via her Instagram story, with a photo which was also shared to the official General Hospital IG account story. The post was a selfie of Storms, with “Maxie’s back!” written at the top.
We are so excited to hear of Kirsten’s return, and the time Maxie will be off screen is very limited. General Hospital news and spoilers indicate GH’s four week-ish filming schedule should put Maxie Jones back onscreen sometime around the end of August.
Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) is back in Port Charles and all grown up. His arrival, although meant to be kept on the down low, was a splash. He came into town with a mission to destroy his father, Nikolas Cassadine’s (Marcus Coloma) marriage to Ava Jerome (Maura West). He’s trying to play coy, and has pulled the wool over Trina Robinson’s (Sydney Mikayla) eyes. But not everyone is falling for his act.
General Hospital news reports confirmed the recast of Spencer Cassadine as his character was SORASed. Nicholas Alexander Chavez took over the role from Nicolas Bechtel. Although the character has been recast, the character is being written in the same scheming way, just now grown up.
General Hospital spoilers reveal his vendetta against Ava continues. Spencer tries to keep up the innocent act around Nikolas, Trina, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), and Cameron Webber (William Lipton). He’s even playing his grandma, Laura Spencer (Genie Franco’s).
General Hospital previews indicate Spencer’s true colors shine when he has a conversation with Ava, asking her why she is giving his father mixed signals. Spencer wants nothing more than to be reassured that his dad’s relationship with Ava is over. But as he sees it, the love they have for each other hasn’t diminished just because he scared Ava off with his creepy stalker act.
General Hospital rumors claim Nikolas is onto his son, and he is closer to figuring out Spencer is behind the whole thing, more than Spencer realizes. He’ll show his sinister side to Ava, possibly making things clearer to her as well. Spencer better watch it before he’s completely figured out.
As if Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) didn’t have enough on her shoulders with a mystery of her own, she’s now out solving other mysteries. But this one involves her family.
As Elizabeth and Finn (Michael Easton) are stumped at the disappearance of Peter August’s (Wes Ramsey) body, the answer to who had her sister shot is crystal clear.
Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) is desperate to keep his dark secret from coming to light and has been lying, scheming, and even threatening his family in order to protect himself. He has already given Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) a cryptic warning, telling her not to go out looking for Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig).
General Hospital spoilers reveal Nikolas’ jig is up, and he and Hayden are no longer the only ones who know the truth.
General Hospital previews show Elizabeth confronting Nikolas with her big revelation. But it’s possible she has known all along. She boldly blurts out that he is the one who had her sister, Hayden shot. All this time Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore) has taken the heat and served time for Nikolas Cassadine’s crime, while Nikolas roams free, living his best life.
Now that Elizabeth has revealed she knows the truth, Will Nikolas threaten his dear friend as he did Sam who is his own family?
General Hospital rumors claim that Liz’s knowledge will give Liz all the more reason to reach out to her sister, which could lead to a major discovery, connecting Hayden to Liz and Finn’s current mystery situation.
Steve Burton has portrayed the iconic right hand man, Jason Morgan, for 25 years. Jason has developed loyal bonds with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), and many others over the years. But his friendship with Sonny and Carly is legendary.
General Hospital news reports reveal Burton has addressed some pressing topics in an interview with Soap Opera Digest.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Burton elaborated on his feelings about Jason and Carly’s upcoming nuptials. Jason marrying Sonny’s wife is a touchy subject for most. GH fans aren’t crazy about the idea, knowing that Sonny is actually still alive. Regarding the fans, he admits that they “don’t really get it,” but clears the air with his statement. Burton discloses, “Look, what Laura and I care about is that we’ve had some amazing scenes. That’s what it comes down to for us,” the actor notes. “The overall story, if it works, awesome, but we’re finding something new for us, which we’ve never had, being on the show this long. That’s what’s intriguing to actors. And that’s what I think a lot of fans don’t really get, is that this is new for us, and this is cool for us because as actors we get to explore and do new things with new people and have new scenes and it’s pretty exciting.”
The story of Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Jason’s romance died before it even got a chance to take off. When touching on his thoughts on the possibility of Jason and Britt, Burton reveals, “Jason and Britt are interested in each other, so that’s the wrench in the works, right? They’re interested in each other but then the business side of things comes into play. I think it works perfectly; it’s like a perfect storm of [a marriage] having to happen.” Jason wanted things to work out with Britt, and he genuinely cares for her. But right now his loyalties lie with Carly and the family business. Many fans aren’t happy with that. Fans want to me wow by Jason couldn’t just tell Britt the truth about what’s going on, and Steve Burton have his explanation. “A lot of Mafia guys had their affairs on the side, so anything’s possible, but right now, Jason’s doing it by the book, right? It just doesn’t behoove him, in a power transition like this, in a power struggle where there’s violence and all these things happening, to sneak around.” Burton continues, “There is one thing here to accomplish, and that’s the goal of showing a united front with Jason and Carly; this is the best way to do it. Gotta cut the thing off with Britt and move forward for the family. That’s the mentality. And we are on a soap opera, so please forgive me!”
General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that Sonny’s return to Port Charles will inevitably stir things up on many aspects and with many people of Port Charles.
It’s undeniable that Jason’s involvement with Carly and the business will be front and center in the story line, and as far as his romantic life goes, his upcoming wedding to Carly will take its toll on everyone they love. General Hospital rumors claim Sonny will arrive in the nick of time, and some say he will show up too little too late.
Stay tuned to see how things play out as Sonny gets closer to regaining his memory and reuniting with his loved ones. Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) has basically set all of this in motion while the Corinthos family pays the price.
Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) is having a hard time dealing with watching Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) go through the pain of not being able to be with her daughter. It hurts Maxie so much that she had to leave town while Brook Lynn keeps up the charade.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Brook Lynn spills her feelings out loud, as she’s talking to baby Bailey about her “real mother.” Maxie and Brook Lynn have been able to keep their secret without either or them caving. But now that Maxie has skipped town, Brook Lynn feels the weight of their lies.
General Hospital previews indicate Brook Lynn isn’t too careful when talking to herself. Chase (Josh Swickard) walks in at a crucial moment when she outs herself and Maxie. Brook Lynn may be able to talk herself out or what Chase heard, leading him to believe he thinks he heard something she didn’t actually say.
General Hospital rumors indicate Brook Lynn and ladies secret won’t be able to hold up after the many holes in their story. With Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) now living on PC and Maxie’s sudden get away, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) is bound to find out the truth.
Emme Rylan’s status with General Hospital has been up in the air since her character Lulu Spencer Falconeri was tragically put in a coma.
GH fans have been rallying to have Lulu awaken and Emme to reprise the role. However, a new development makes it look as though fans may not get what they want any time soon.
General Hospital news reports share information straight from Emme Rylan. She has taken to Instagram to inform fans that she has arrived in Nashville, Tennessee to evaluate the surroundings. Don Money has received a job offer in Nashville, and Emme is trying to decide if the city is a good fit for her family.
Since Emme and her family are heavily considering the big move away from LA, General Hospital rumors have developed surrounding her status with GH. It seems like she doesn’t have any plans of returning to the daytime drama, and this news comes after General Hospital spoilers reveal she has disclosed TPTB at GH have not been in contact regarding her potential return.
We wish Emme and her family the best in any new endeavors headed their way. Hopefully some day when the GH writing team decides to wake Lulu up from her coma, they will reach out to Rylan as opposed to a recast.
Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) maybe have aged rapidly when General Hospital decided to SORAS the character, but his personality has stayed true to form. After Nicholas Alexander Chavez took over the role from Nicolas Bechtel, the character has been written to hold the same scheming traits.
Spencer is responsible for the ending of his father Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) marriage. Ava has succumb to the threats of danger brought about by a mystery stalker, threading her life and the life of her daughter, Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola).
General Hospital spoilers reveal Spencer is still up to his old tricks even after successfully causing Nikolas and Ava to spilt. He’s still going around Port Charles, lying to everyone. Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla) has been a victim of Spencer’s lies since the day she laid eyes on him, and it’s only going to get worse from here.
Now that the damage is done, and Ava and and Nik have split, General Hospital previews show Spencer trying to make amends with his ex-step mother, Ava.
It’s obvious that Spencer is trying to throw Ava off so that she and his dad don’t suspect that it was him who has been stalking her and threatening her daughter’s life. Although General Hospital rumors claim Nikolas is already onto him…
Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) has teamed up with the newly free ex-convict, Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore), to help find Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig). Since it’s a known fact that Shawn wasn’t the one to shoot Hayden, now that he is a free man, Sam and Shawn are setting out to get some answers in order to find the real person behind Hayden’s shooting.
Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) has been doing everything he can to keep his involvement a secret, even paying Pentonville to keep Shawn behind bars. Now that his plan has failed and Shawn is free, Nikolas is in panic mode.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Nikolas is aware of Sam’s interest in finding Hayden. Unfortunately for Nikolas, he knows that Hayden knows the truth, and isn’t secure in knowing whether or not she would reveal he is the one behind her shooting.
General Hospital previews show Nikolas sitting down with Sam, discussing the current situation, as he gives her a suspicious warning to stop look for Hayden or else they’ll be trouble.
Nikolas has always acted like he was about to protect his Aunt Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), but his ulterior motives were to protect himself. The threat from Nikolas makes Sam very suspicious. She’s going to wonder why Nik is so strongly against finding Hayden.
General Hospital rumors hint that Nikolas doesn’t hesitate when it comes to protecting himself, and won’t stop at making things dangerous for even his own family, Sam Morgan.
