This past weekend feels like a whirlwind. But Billy’s family, especially his mother, feel the pain of losing Billy quite directly.

According to the latest GH news updates, Billy Miller’s Mom issues a statement on her son’s death. In her message to fans, Patricia disclosed the following, “I would like to share the following thoughts,” Patricia wrote. “I want to personally thank the many fans & personal friends for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers & condolences sent to me and my family on the devastating death of my beautiful son BJ — Billy Miller.

He fought a long hard valiant battle with bipolar depression for years. He did everything he could to control the disease. He loved his family, his friends and his fans but in the end the disease won the fight and he surrendered his life. The other causes of death being told are not true. I wish they were but they just aren’t. We all loved him so much and are desperately trying to deal with our loss. I will have nothing further to say. Thanks for the love and support.”

As you know, General Hospital’s Maurice Benard also suffers from bipolar disorder. He’s a strong advocate for mental health awareness and Billy’s death is a reminder to so many that this disease claims lives. Sadly, Billy’s bipolar became too much. We are deeply saddened by the news and continue to pray for Billy’s family.

Billy Miller UPDATE! Frank Valentini Confirms Rumors of Jason Morgan?

Fans, we feel your pain. We are just as sick to death of the back and forth as you all are. Is Jason coming or is he staying dead? Is Steve Burton returning to play Jason, or will the role be taken on by Billy Miller from Y&R?

In his announcement regarding the new Fall ABC lineup, and the time change for General Hospital, General Hospital’s Executive Producer, Frank Valentini, has confirmed in an interview that Billy Miller (ex-Billy Abbott Y&R) WILL in fact be joining the cast of GH as  the new Jason Morgan. He will be replacing the role that Steve Burton (Dylan McAvoy Y&R) played for 21 years. Valentini also explains that Jason Morgan will be heavily involved in the upcoming Fall story lines with the return of some iconic GH villains!

Do YOU believe The Examiner?

We know this has been rough, we all the back and forth, but just try…

Keep Calm and Watch GH!

Billy Miller NOT Joining General Hospital as Jason Morgan!

Wow! There is just no end to this vicious cycle of General Hospital spoilers, news, and rumors! Fans have been long awaiting the arrival of Daytime star, Billy Miller, ex-Billy Abbott on The Young and the Restless. The pull of the back and forth is like entertainment torture and just as dramatic as the fictional daytime drama.

A few months ago, TV Guide’s Michael Logan reported that Billy Miller signing with ABC’s General Hospital was a ‘done deal.’ Nelson Branco, writer for Soap Opera UNCENSORED revealed that Billy Miller has NOT signed a contract with ABC’s General Hospital, and he will NOT be joining the cast as fan favorite, the legendary, Jason Morgan.

It seems as if there is a General Hospital spoiler war going on between two reporters. Who is most likely to be correct? Do you stand by TV Guide’s Michael Logan and his statement claiming that Billy Miller has signed with GH and is joining as Jason Morgan? Or, do you feel that was all said to create hype, and that Nelson Branco is correct in stating that Billy Miller has not signed on with General Hospital to replace Steve Burton as Jason (Quartermaine) Morgan?

Since we do know that Jason Morgan is definitely alive and awake after seeing his arm emerge from the cryogenic chamber, who do you think will be playing Jason Morgan? He IS coming back, but sadly, we are still doing this dance of who is going to play the role.

 

General Hospital’s Jason Shocker! Is He IN or is He OUT?

It seems like the executives over at ABC’s General Hospital have been going back and forth on whether or not the iconic role of Jason Morgan would be recast after the departure of Steve Burton. Steve Burton played Jason Quartermaine (later Jason Morgan) for 21 years. After leaving General Hospital due to conflicts of interests with General Hospital executives, Burton soon after joined the cast of  CBS The Young and the Restless as Dylan McAvoy. He has signed a 2 year contract with Y&R, therefore, has no intention of going back to General Hospital in that time.

Just because GH doesn’t have Steve Burton, doesn’t mean they can’t have the character, Jason Morgan. We have seen it done many times through General Hospital’s 51 years of existence, Amazing actors and fan favorites have been forced to be recast all the time. Edward Quartermaine, Carly Corinthos Jacks, AJ Quartermaine, Lulu Spencer, Nikolas Cassadine, Helena Cassadine, just to name a few. What makes Steve Burton any different? Although Steve Burton made the character of Jason Morgan who we all know and love today, there comes a time where the show must go on.

We have been hearing for many months now that the role of Jason Morgan would be recast, and the actor to play that role would be Billy Miller from The Young and the Restless. However, nothing has been confirmed or denied. Many credible sources have admitted seeing Miller around LA with GH cast members. When Miller was asked the direct question if he has joined the cast of GH to play Jason Morgan he danced around the question.

Due to many rumors circulating the media, fans were expecting to see Jason return to GH (in the form of Billy Miller), this August 7th-8th. After today’s SHOCKING episode of General Hospital fans are left with more uncertainty and confusion about this subject than ever before. Robin telling Patrick “Jason is dead,” is not exactly what fans expected to hear just one day before Billy Miller has been said to make his debut. It looks like Robin is willing to push Patrick over the edge just to be able to save him from Victor’s wrath. Robin denied that she is being threatened and being held captive. She assured Patrick that she is there because she wants to be even though Jason is dead. She is claiming that her research and work will be of the greater good and that she is helping terminally ill people in the future. What happens next? Is Robin lying to Patrick in order to protect her family?

 

Sam’s Almost-Encounter With Jason!

Just a warning, this article is a spoilers. Typically, spoilers are only posted under General Hospital Blog’s Spoilers and Previews page.

This is an upcoming scene involving Patrick and Sam. Scroll down if you are ready for the spoiler.

 

 

 

 

Sam is convinced that Nina is trying to sabotage her relationship with Silas because she wants her husband back, all to herself. Nina was successful in doing so. After “someone” leaked private information that was between Patrick and Sam, Sam and Silas cannot see eye to eye. Silas is resentful toward Sam for spending so much time with Patrick and for taking his side, and Sam is angry with Silas for believing that Nina isn’t capable of leaking the information to the press, and putting Nina first ever since she came to Port Charles.

Sam thinks she sees her late husband, Jason Morgan, and goes chasing after him. The scene doesn’t involve Billy Miller, the new Jason Morgan. It is actually an actor by the name of Mitchell Fink who is playing an orderly that resembles Jason. However, that orderly is headed towards a room. In the room the orderly apologizes for having to lock the door on his bosses orders. His boss being Victor Cassadine. Behind that door, is Jason Morgan. Sam is oh so close!

If you are excited to see Jason Morgan on General Hospital this August, share this post with your fellow General Hospital fans!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Billy Miller as Jason Morgan; Maybe Not?

Trying to figure out what is going on with the role of Jason Morgan is almost as dramatic as the character Jason Morgan itself. After months and months of rumors regarding a recast for the role of Jason Morgan, a few weeks ago it was confirmed, or so it seems, that The Young and the Restless actor, Billy Miller had left Y&R  due to a recent disagreement with Jill Farren Phelps, and was headed to General Hospital. Billy Miller was said to be replacing Steve Burton’s 21 year stint as Jason Quartermaine (Jason Morgan).

Now things are looking a little uncertain. ABC has not confirmed any contract with Billy Miller. As of now, the actor has not signed a contract with General Hospital. ABC may just be keeping this information private for the time being, but rumors state that Miller will join the GH cast this coming August. Time is running out if a contract indeed still needs to be signed.

Comment below and let us know what you think of replacing Steve Burton as Jason Morgan.

Victor Cassadine Returns! Who Will He Bring With Him?

Actor Thaao Penghlis who plays Victor Cassadine on General Hospital will be returning to Port Charles. He was recently in town to blackmail Robin Scorpio Drake into helping his fellow Cassadines come “back to life.” Stavros Cassadine are frozen in a facility… the same facility where Victor told Robin her dear friend Jason was being held. With his body being in the same state as the Cassadine clan, Victor presented Robin with the option of saving Jason’s life as well as helping Stavros. Robin thought Jason Morgan was dead, so of course this all came as a shock to her. Robin agreed to leave with Victor even though she had just been reunited with her family after being help captive.

Who will Victor bring with him to Port Charles this time around? There must be a purpose for his return. Therefore, does this mean Robin did her job and she can come home to her family? Maybe Robin AND Jason will be returning to Port Charles and shock the town.

When Kimberly McCullough left GH, she stated that she wanted her role to be left open so that she can return. She was working on another project but said she would be happy to return to General Hospital when she was done. With the recent news involving cast confirmation of Billy Miller to GH, this all could mean that BOTH characters will be due to return.

Comment below and let us know what you think! Is it time for Robin and Jason to return to their families?
