You won’t want to miss this year’s General Hospital anniversary episode. April 1st , 2015 marks General Hospital’s 52nd year on the air. The daytime drama aired on April 1st, 1963 and is now more popular than ever. In the last couple of years, the writers and executives over at ABC’s General Hospital have made the anniversary of the show really something special. In 2013, General Hospital celebrated 50 years on the air. Flashbacks and cast come backs have been huge since GH’s 50th with many iconic vet actors coming back to reprise their roles.
Three very special actors have been chosen to carry the weight of this special 52nd anniversary episode. Jason Thompson (Dr. Patrick Drake), Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber), and Ryan Carnes (Dr. Lucas Jones), will be leading the show with what has been called a time warp epsiode of General Hospital. This trio will be portraying the original characters that debuted in the first ever episode of General Hospital.
Jason Thompson will play the legendary Dr. Steven Hardy (John Beradino), Rebecca Herbst will take on the role of Nurse Jessie Brewer (Emily McLaughlin), while the role of Jessie’s husband, Phil (Roy Thinnes), will be played by Ryan Carnes. These scenes will all be in black and white to display the full effect of the original 1963 GH debut.
The three stars are extremely honored to have been chosen to make this extraordinary tribute come to life. Jason Thomson tells sources, “None of us took it lightly. It was a real honor to pay tribute to the cast that launched our show. Let’s face it: If they hadn’t done their jobs extremely well; if they hadn’t grabbed the attention of the audience right off the bat- none of us would be here today.” Thompson, Herbst, and Carnes studied the original episode in depth, and they are excited for the opportunity. “It was so much fun getting into such a different style of performance.” Everything was very serious and straightforward back then, almost formal but really cool. And no one was overacting.” Rebecca Herbst tells TV Insider.
In the episode, keep watch for the recreation of the original nurses station, with original props, costumes, and more.
It’s safe to say that if you are a fan with a real emotional attachment to this show, whether you have been with it since day one, or have been watching for only a short time, this will really be an amazingly emotional thing to see.
Check out a clip from ABC’s General Hospital in 1963 as the first air time debut on April 1st.
Fans were ecstatic when the news was announced that All My Children vet, Rebecca Budig would be jointing the cast of General Hospital. General Hospital rumors immediacy started to spread like wild fire as fans tried to guess what role the established actress would be playing in Port Charles. Rumors even went as far as claiming that Budig would take Kimberly McCullough’s place as the iconic Robin Scorpio Drake. Fortunately for the vast majority’s opinions, that is not the case.
It has been revealed that Rebecca Budig will join GH as a brand new character. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) will stop at nothing to hold onto Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). He hires Rebecca’s character to pose as Jake Doe’s “wife” in an attempt to keep Jake and Elizabeth apart. All the while, what he is actually doing is keeping Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) away from Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Danny.
What are you thoughts on this big reveal? Are you happy with the role in which Rebecca Budig will make her GH debut?
JaSam fans will be steaming mad knowing that their much anticipated Jason and Sam reunion is being dragged out even further.
Back when Robin was whisked away by Victor Cassadine to help him bring his family members back from being cryogenically frozen, Patrick had to make a decision. After learning that Victor told Robin that she would be helping bring Jason Morgan back to life, Patrick had to decide to hide this information from his friend Sam. He kept the secret that Jason was alive and being held by the Cassadines for months. As their relationship grew from friendship to romance, Patrick struggled with the decision of letting Sam know there could be hope for her husband Jason.
General Hospital rumors have been suggesting that Patrick may soon be battling with a quite similar predicament. Patrick has operated on Jason Morgan as well as Jake Doe. He has performed invasive surgery and has analyzed brain scans. It is quite possible that Patrick has an inclination that Jake is actually Jason Morgan.
It will be interesting to find out whether or not Patrick will go down that road. Will he be forced to make another decision that could make or break his relationship with Sam? If Patrick knows that Jake is Jason, if he tells her, he could lose her. After all, Jason is her husband. If he doesn’t tell her, he would betray her trust yet again. Either way, Patrick loses.
The question is, with all the General Hospital spoilers and rumors floating around, could it be true that Patrick knows/will find out that Jake is Jason Morgan?
Let us know what you think. If Patrick knows, will he hide this from Sam in hopes to keep her?
Michael’s behavior has been spinning out of control since he learned that his adoptive father, Sonny Corinthos murdered his biological father, AJ Quartermaine. His mother, Carly, kept the secret from her son, as did Morgan and Kiki. Michael feels betrayed by everyone he loves and now he is acting out of anger. He wants revenge against Sonny and nothing is off limits, not even an innocent baby.
Baby Avery, Sonny and Ava’s daughter had been in the care of Sonny after he was pardoned from prison since her mother, Ava is presumed dead. Michael claims he wants to protect Avery from Sonny’s mobster life and so he sought out to get custody of his adoptive sister.
Now that Michael has Avery and has spitefully nicknamed her AJ, he may need a mother figure in Avery’s life. Sabrina and Michael have been hanging out a lot together lately, and Sabrina seems to be very fond of babies.
General Hospital rumors hint that Michael and Sabrina may be tying the knot. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Michael has a proportion for Sabrina.
Will these two make a good couple? Do you think Michael will take his scheming to that level? Watch GH weekdays at 2PM Eastern to find out what happens next.
Kirsten Storms was made to play Maxie Jones. Maxie had won the hearts of General Hospital fans and the love for this character continues to grow. Everyone always seems to be on team Maxie, no matter how many times she makes an impulsively bad decision.
Kirsten puts her heart and soul into this role and fans are able to feel what Maxie feels. Kirsten also lets us into her own world with husband and co-star Brandon Barash. Although Maxie and Johnny were never really together on General Hospital, the two are married in real life with a beautiful daughter named Harper Rose. Harper is currently playing the role of Maxie and Spinelli’s daughter, Georgie.
Being able to get a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes a GH is just another perk of following Kirsten in her real life, via social media. The actress revealed a huge General Hospital spoiler via Twitter. Kirsten Storms announced to fans that while she was reading her script, there will be a plot twist that even she didn’t see coming.
Could Kirsten be referring to Maxie’s love triangle with Nathan and Spinelli? Perhaps Spinelli finding out about Jason? Hang in there fans and watch GH every day on ABC to find out exactly where this plot twist is headed.
Nothing is ever what it seems when it comes to death in Port Charles. Even when we see the character lying lifeless on the ground, or watch a building explode with someone in it, it’s never that conclusive.
The last time we saw Victor Cassadine, he was wrapped up in the Helena, Robin, Jason, Levi, Maxie, and Nathan drama. Dr. Obrecht killed Victor in an attempt to save her son, Detective Nathan West.
Recent General Hospital rumors tease that although we saw Obrecht kill Victor with our own eyes, there is more to the story. GH runors are flying that Victor Cassadone is actually alive. Perhaps he was saved by Helena, as those Cassadines always seem to preserve one  another in some way. Could Victor be frozen in a cryogenic chamber like all those before him?
Either you are totally on board with this or you are screaming as you read the title of this post, “NO, NO, NO! What about Nathan?!” The great love of Maxie’s life, Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), has rolled back into Port Charles with the tide and is ready to commit himself to the mother (Maxie, Kirsten Storms) of his daughter, baby Georgie (Harper Rose Barash).
This would have all had a fairy-tale ending let’s say, a year and a half to about two years ago. When Maxie confessed her love to Spinelli back when he was about to move to Portland with his girlfriend Ellie Trout (Emily Wilson), Spinelli broke Maxie’s heart and chose Ellie. Since then Maxie has gone through hoops to get her life back on track. After losing custody of her daughter to Spinelli, Maxie went on an eat, pray, love journey to find herself. Before heading out the door of her apartment, Detective Nathan West stood at the other side of her door. From the moment the two met, they felt an instant connection, and when Maxie came back from her trip, Nathan was right there waiting, but not without complications. Levi Dunkleman, the custody of Georgie, and many other factors came into play when it came to keeping Maxie and Nathan apart. Now that they are finally together and happy, Maxie is more confused than ever.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Spinelli and Maxie share a kiss, and Nathan sees it all go down! What will Nathan do at this point? Will he give Maxie an ultimatum?
Who do you want Maxie to choose? She and Spinelli have so much history, they share a child, and they were each other’s true loves. Nathan and Maxie have a real chance at a great love, should she move on with Nathan? Let us know what you think! Are you #TeamSpixie or #TeamNaxie?
