Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and his father Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) have a mutual respect for each other’s career choices. Although they’re at opposite sides of the law, they’ve come to an understanding when it comes to family and business.

General Hospital previews indicate that a current situation puts Dante and Sonny’s understanding and respect for one another to the test. In a shocking twist, Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) was shot dead in cold blood. As a detective Dante must do what it takes to solve the crime, even if that means that he has to question his father.

Who Killed Austin Holt On General Hospital?

A doctor is dead and Dante has reason to believe that Sonny knows a little something about the situation. Of course, Sonny and Ava Jerome (Maura West) know more about Austin than some would guess, but that doesn’t mean they know who killed him. General Hospital spoilers tease that Dante investigates the crime and questions Sonny about Austin’s death. Some GH rumors claim that Cyrus Renault is the obvious choice, but something tells me that’s not the case. It just seems too easy.

Moreover, GH recaps recall the look on Austin’s face when he came face to face with his killer. He was puzzled to see this person but didn’t seem all that afraid. Did Ava lash out after she discovered that Austin’s been lying to her? Or is Nikolas Cassadine creeping around Port Charles with a vengeance?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Gets His Revenge! Austin Lies Lifeless On The Ground

Nikolas killed Austin for revenge
Nikolas killed Austin for revenge

Nikolas Cassadine has his share of reasons to stay far, far away from Port Charles. First, his relationship with his son Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) was rocky ever since Nikolas faked his death. It’s understandable that Spencer felt abandoned, and distances himself from his father. Emotionally, the two were further apart than ever. Spencer was back from boarding school and living at Wyndemere, distance separated father and son.

Nikolas had other problems in his life but they all stemmed from the same issue. It was a vicious cycle back when Spencer and Esme both had it out for Nikolas and Ava. As a result, Spencer’s resentment towards his dad and step mom helped fuel Esme’s agenda. Additionally, Spencer unknowingly fed into Esme’s trap which helped lead Ava and Nikolas astray from each other. It was the straw the broke the camel’s back for Spencer.

Nikolas Killed Austin Over Ava?!

Once Esme seduced Nikolas and she became pregnant, time eventually did its job. It was only a matter of time that Spencer found out about how his father Nikolas slept with Esme. At this point Spencer had been betrayed by Nikolas enough. And on top of that, he found out who is girlfriend really was.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) was roped into the middle of it all between Nikolas and Spencer. But Ryan’s fixation on Ava fueled Esme’s entire plot, resulting in Ava’s marriage to Nikolas. According to General Hospital spoilers, Nikolas gets his revenge! The last time that he saw Ava was the night she thought she killed him. Until recently, Ava assumed that he was dead. Thanks to Austin, Ava was able to hide Nikolas’s body, or so she thought. That’s when one thing lead to another and Ava ended up sleeping with Austin. Now, Nikolas wants revenge.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas killed Austin for revenge. He knows that Ava thought that she killed him, and the fact that she slept with Austin might be enough motive.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Roger Howarth’s Dreaded Phone Call, GH and OLTL Star Exposes Truth Behind GH Exit

Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH
Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH

Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) was doing the right thing after doing a many things wrong. Although Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, Austin still carried out criminal acts on top of the lies he told to Ava Jerome (Maura West). The thing is that Austin wasn’t a bad guy but he did bad things because Cyrus had the upper hand. After all, it was Cyrus who paid Austin’s way through medical school. But was it really worth it when Austin was never able to outrun his debt?

Earlier this week, General Hospital star Roger Howarth confirmed his GH exit and Austin Holt’s unexpected death. General Hospital recaps recall the latest storyline shocker! Dr. Austin Holt took the righteous path and was preparing himself to give Cyrus up to the PCPD in exchange for immunity. After all, he only commutes those crimes and told those lies because Cyrus and Mason (Nathanyael Grey) gave him no choice.

Austin Dies

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Howarth has filmed his final episode. His two and a half year run as the peculiar Dr. Austin Holt from Pautuck is over. But this isn’t the first time that Howarth’s role has been given the axe. The Daytime Emmy Winner is best known for his role as Todd Manning on One Life To Live. Since the Soap Opera’s 2012 cancellation, Howarth has played various Daytime TV roles. In fact, he became known for playing more than a couple characters on the same Soap. First Roger brought OLTL’s Manning to GH. Then, he was written off and he has played two other roles on GH following the Llanview legend. While General Hospital fans mourn Austin’s death and Howarth’s departure, hope remains that he returns as someone entirely new.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: BREAKING! Roger Howarth Confirms GH Exit, Ends His Run On GH

Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH

“Several weeks ago I got a phone call from somebody I’ve known for a very long time who I love very dearly [GH and OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini] telling me that when my contract was up at ABC I would not be offered a new contract and that the character of Austin would be killed, and that this was something they both wanted and needed to do to move story,” the iconic daytime television star revealed to Soap Opera Digest. “And it took me a minute to kind of adjust, to kind of hear the news; it took a second for me to let that settle in.

“And then, immediately, I realized how lucky I was to have been able to do something I really love doing for more than a decade with people who I really enjoyed working with,” Howarth continued. “I’m a lucky guy. I had a great run and this was a decision made by people who make these kinds of decisions for a living. For me, I felt it was very much like that scene in Moneyball and Jonah Hill had just told me I’ve been traded. I feel very respected and supported. For a long time, I’ve enjoyed coming to work, learning lines, and saying them with really cool people.”

Will Roger Return In His Fourth Role?

So much is to be said about a 30+ year acting career. Daytime Television has been luck to have a talent such as Roger. The best is yet to come!

Clearly, there is no bad blood between Howarth, Valentini, and TPTB over at GH. Roger’s statement clarifies any misunderstandings that may have developed through recent GH rumors. Although Roger cleared the air and shared the truth behind his GH exit, one thing remains uncertain. Soaps are known for some wild casting shifts. And it just so happens that Howarth is iconically known for his role change-ups. Three different roles on one drama is impressive but can he match co-star Michael Easton at four?

Time sure flies when you’re a bad guy! Maybe that’s why the past year and four months seem like a blink of an eye. Grey joined General Hospital’s cast in June of 2022 and first aired on the 15th of that month. Since July of 2022, the GH newcomer was placed on recurring status.

Mason Gatlin struck a chord with GH fans from the moment he popped in the scene. Mysterious but on a creepy level, Mason’s no-nonsense interactions became increasingly intimidating with each scene. General Hospital recaps recall that he and his cousin Dr. Austin Gatlin Holt butted heads from the start. But when when Mason interrupted Austin’s news life, no one knew their backstory. Even Maxie had the woo pulled over her eyes as she was trying to get to know the man who delivered her baby.

General Hospital news reports confirm that Grey disclosed GH spoilers in a Ew ent Soaps In Depth interview.

Nathanyael Grey’s Shocking Confession About Mason

GH spoilers reveal that the recent interview sheds light on Mason’s good side- well, sort of. But according to Grey, Mason is not good or bad. Instead, he reveals that Executive Producer Frank Valentini told the actor that Mason is a gray character.

“He’s just doing what he’s told to the best of his ability,” Grey explained. “I tried to reflect that with some of the dialogue that they would allow me to change here and that, that he’s just a guy doing his job, but he’s morally ambiguous with what the job entails.

“One time, they wrote that Mason was directly threatening Georgie,” he added. “I changed the line to ‘Don’t make me.’ Like, ‘I don’t want to do it but I will,’ as opposed to ‘I will totally kidnap a kid!’ Once I knew that Mason’s family has a trucking company and who the boss was, I was like, ‘Oh, okay, well, he doesn’t want to lose his family business, so he kind of has to do these things.’ And Frank [Valentini, GH’s executive producer] backed that up; he said, ‘You’re actually a gray character. You’re not all bad.’”

From the sound of things, it’s possible that General Hospital is prepared to keep Grey on to portray Mason for the foreseeable future. GH Blog with keep fans updated on any GH casting changes regarding Nathabyael’s GH status.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) turned to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for help when Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) became a threat. Although his cousin Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) has a thing for the blond, former mobster, Mason has a job to do.

According to General Hospital recaps, Ava and Austin hit it off as friends before things quickly became physical. But that’s when threats escalated and there wasn’t time for any type of messing around in any aspect. So, was Ava and Austin’s encounter a “one and done” situation?

GH rumors tease that Austin can’t be trusted but he’s also not purely a bad guy. Instead, he’s been forced into this by family. Cyrus and Austin’s pasts are tied together and it seems like Cyrus uses that fact as leverage. Now that we know that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, it’s easier to see that Austin truly cares about Ava and doesn’t want to engage in Cyrus and Mason’s games. But Austin remains dishonest with Ava about the most important element of this entire situation. Not until Laura Spencer told Ava about Nikolas Cassadine’s bank activity did she think that her ex was alive. She eels to be in the dark about some important facts that could either keep her safe or risk her life.

Sonny Thinks Ava’s Sleeping With The Enemy

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Ava questions Austin after Sonny gives a warning. According to recent GH previews, Sonny tells Ava that she’s in bed with the enemy. And the look on her face is worth a thousand words. Although she is fond of Austin, I don’t think that she fully trusts him anyway. How is she going to react when she discovers that he has know that Nikolas was alive this whole time?

Ava Jerome (Maura West) killed Nikolas Cassadine, or so she thinks. She’ll do anything to protect her daughter Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola). That’s why she didn’t think twice when she clubbed Nikolas over the head when he threatened to take her daughter. Even still, she didn’t mean to kill him, and with Austin’s help, that’s exactly what she thinks.

But neither of them even checked to see if he was actually dead. And besides, Austin’s lying to Ava anyway. He knows darn all that Nikolas is alive but he’s playing this game with Mason and their mystery boss. While it’s apparent that Austin can’t be trusted, he doesn’t aw all bad. Perhaps he’s being forced or coerced? Either way, Ava can’t trust him.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Is Alive! Mason Uses Nikolas As Leverage Over Austin And Ava

Now she’s been abducted by his cousin and her life is in danger. However, GH spoilers and rumors hint that Mason makes a decision that saves Ava’s life.

General Hospital Spoilers: Austin Holt’s Real Backstory- There’s More To Austin Than Meets The Eye

Austin Holt’s real backstory

Austin Holt’s real backstory!

…When all is said and done, Dr. Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth) is a Quartermaine. As Edward Quartermaine’s grandson, Austin wants what’s rightfully his. Clearly, he’s got to be in Port Charles for more than to simply practice medicine. Odds are there is more to Austin than meets the eye. Did everyone forget that?

According to the latest GH spoilers and rumors, there’s more to Austin than meets the eye. He isn’t some good-hearted doctor from Pautuck who just decided to bring his God given healing talents to Port Charles. Officially, Austin’s on a mission.

GH rumors tease that Austin Holt’s real backstory will shock Port Charles. Indeed, he’s a Quartermaine, and money is his big motivator. It’s obvious that he’s involved in shady dealings with Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) and their mysterious denial boss. Austin’s Quartermaine connection leads to recent GH rumors regarding his and Mason’s mysterious boss.

Previously, General Hospital Blog shares GH spoilers and rumors mentioning Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot). Is she running the show? Put it this way, Tracy has her nose on all things ELQ. The family business means everything to her and well, Austin Holt is technically family. Given that Tracy has Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) spying on Deception), why wouldn’t she have Austin spy on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Pikeman? Other than business reasons, Gh rumors claim there may be an even higher reason for Tracy’s interest in Sonny and Pikeman. But Austin’s true identity has yet to be fully exposed.

General Hospital Spoilers: Cyrus Sends Austin (and His Family ????) A Message!

Cyrus sends Austin a message Cyrus Renault Austin Holt

Cyrus sends Austin a message! Initially, Laura didn’t believe Cyrus when he told her that turned a new leaf and found God. Surely her brother didn’t have some sudden epiphany after the things he’s done. Or, did he?

Like Laura Spencer (Genie Francis), fans are getting whiplash, thinking about Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Is he or isn’t he? A bad guy. A good guy. A good guy who does bad things. Repeat. Honestly, he’s been pretty convincing with how he’s always reciting Bible verses. Even Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) found sincerity in the new and improved Cyrus. However, GH recaps recall one particular scene where Cyrus flipped the script again. Now that he’s in the hospital instead of Pentonville, Cyrus has more outreach. His conversation with Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) left fans questioning Cyrus’s intentions.

According to GH spoilers and rumors, Cyrus knows more about Austin and his family than Austin ever wants exposed. In yesterday’s scenes, it’s apparent that Cyrus sends Austin a message, no, more like a threat. “May the Lord Bless you and protect you. And your family,” is what Cyrus said as Austin walked out of his hospital room. Evidently, that comment rattled Austin to the point that he couldn’t hide it. What all does Cyrus know about Austin (and his family ????)?

Would a changed man seemingly threaten another? Was that Cyrus said to Austin a true threat?
