Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner) Returns to GH
Kin Shirner’s return to GH as Scotty Baldwin is yet another big treat for the 50th anniversary of General Hospital, April 1st, 2013. We are so excited for his return this February 19th. We are excited to see how his love triangle from many, many years ago with Laura and Luke will come in to play this time around. In a TV Guide Magazine interview with Shriner, it is revealed that we will first see Scotty appear at the Haunted Star where many of the residents of Port Charles will be for a Valentine’s Day party. The scoop is that Scotty and Luke encounter one another and things escalate pretty quickly.
Shriner also talks about the possibility of John Stamos returning to the canvas as well. He said in the interview, “I’m sure Stamos will come back because he knows GH started his career.” This to me sounds pretty promising for the return of Blackie Parrish.
On a more personal level, Kin Shriner spoke very highly of his life experiences from being part of GH. He mentions how many great friends he has made throughout the years including Genie Francis (Laura Spencer) and buddy Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe). It seems that he is very happy with the fact that Genie, Lynn, and himself were asked to rejoin General Hospital at this time. When asked about his time at General Hospital, he responding with the following, “Lynn Herring and I have had a thousand phone calls, we talk at least once a week- where we’re, like, “Wouldn’t it be great if our characters came back to Port Charles and did such-and-such.” And now it’s actually happening! (Laughs) We no longer have to imagine it with tweety birds over our heads!”
-Remember he prefers Scotty over Scott! 😉
With all this great news, I have a feeling that this will be one special year for General Hospital!

Pickle Lila Relish
Poor Tracy. All that her Father Edward left to her in his will was a jar of her Grandmother Lila’s homemade relish. Since the passing of the legendary Edward Quartermaine, the family has been battling over who is going to control ELQ. Tracy and AJ have been at each other throats, seeking assistance from unlikely allies. Tracy has turned to Lucy, Sonny, and Connie, while AJ has Michael and Duke in his corner. Until today, Tracy has looked at her inheritance as useless, cursing her Father’s name from time to time for cheating his own daughter out of his will. Luke was able to blackmail Carly and get the information about the Quartermaine heir to give to Tracy. Carly informed Luke that a few years ago, Franco told her he had a daughter named Lauren, but his wife kept her from him. With this news, Luke went to Tracy. As they were discussing how to save ELQ, Tracy looked down at her jar of Pickle-Lila Relish and had a revelation. She believes that she holds the ticket to save ELQ.
Who is Sam Morgan’s Father?
We all have been wondering for YEARS who Alexis slept with that helped create the beautiful Samantha McCall Morgan. Recently this has become more of an open topic with actress Nancy Lee Grahn. She has playfully tweeted, naming a few possibilities, most recently John Stamos’ character Blackie Parrish. She also mentioned in an interview that she would like the Father to be a character that is not currently on the canvas. I have a feeling this story will start to develop relatively soon.

GH’s Elizabeth Webber
We have been seeing a lot more of Nurse Webber lately and it’s about time if I have to say so myself! Rebecca Herbst fans have been speaking out and letting TPTB know they want their character front and center. As we have learned in the recent past, never underestimate the power of a fan base. Once again, the fans have spoken and have been heard. Back when Herbst was let go from General Hospital, there was a huge out cry by the fans wanting her back! Seriously, could you imagine GH with out Nurse Webber? I can’t. Things are looking up for Liz fans these days. We are getting to see her interact with Sabrina, her new friend, AJ her ex lovers brother, and Patrick. There has even been talk of possible love interests for the character. Liz has been spending some time with AJ lately, and as she is the only woman (other than his Mother) in town that can stand the site of him, this just might go somewhere! Other rumors suggest that if Antonio Sabato Jr. comes back to reprise his role as Jagger Cates, then he and Elizabeth would make a great couple. There is so much potential for Elizabeth when we have the wonderfully talented Rebecca Herbst to thank for portraying her so well for so many years. We look forward to seeing more of Liz all over the GH canvas!
John Stamos Returning to GH as Blackie Parrish?
There have been rumors going back and forth on whether or not John Stamos would be reprising his role as Blackie Parrish on General Hospital. News stories discussed the miscommunication between the actor and GH Head Writer, Ron Carlivati and Executive Producer, Frank Valentini via Twitter. Things were very unclear as to what was going on. Was John Stamos returning? Was he even asked, or did he decline? Well earlier this evening John Stamos sent out a Tweet with a picture of him and friend, GH star Kin Shriner, (Scotty Baldwin). Is this the return of Blackie Parrish? Fans are routing for it to be true. They have already speculated a story line, hoping he will be Sam’s Father.

Prospect Park Speaks Out About John, Starr, and Todd
Prospect Park just released a statement regarding the status of characters John McBain, Starr Manning, and Todd Manning. They said that they are willing to work something out to be able to share the characters so that this results in a win-win situation for everyone involved. GH fans have grown to love these characters and were saddened to hear of their possible departure from Port Charles. OLTL fans also want their beloved characters. So hopefully this way, everyone can be happy. Judging from this week’s General Hospital Blog Poll results, the fans really want this trio to stay. 61% of fans want then to stay in Port Charles, 29% would like them to be shared between PC and Llanview, and the remaining 10% say they should be in Llanview. Basically 90% want them in some way to remain at General Hospital.
Michael Easton, Kristen Alderson, and Roger Howarth to Remain on General Hospital?
After Michael Easton’s announcement on Facebook regarding the legal issues tied to the reason he would have to leave GH on February 8th, ABC made a statement saying that they plan on Easton, Alderson, and Howarth remaining at GH after all. Although Prospect Park has a licensing agreement for the characters of John McBain, Todd Manning, and Starr Manning, the actors are still under contract with General Hospital. ABC is trying to come up with a plan to keep these characters on the show. They mentioned the possibility of changing John McBain’s name permanently to Caleb Morley. As for Starr and Todd, there hasn’t been any developments on how ABC will pull off a character change without confusing the viewers. General Hospital Blog will keep you informed as new developments are posted. Thank You!
