Billy Miller Discusses His Own Spin on Jason Morgan

General Hospital newcomer, Billy Miller explains his plans for the character of Jason Morgan. Billy Miller had some extremely large shoes to fill by taking on this role after Steve Burton created the Jason Morgan persona for over 20 years. Fans have survived many recasts of their favorite beloved characters throughout the years. The soap industry is known for their ins and outs, and the potential of characters being recast. This is nothing new, yet the news of Steve Burton leaving General Hospital to go to The Young and the Restless hit fans harder than any other recast in General Hospital history. The recast process seemed to take forever, and the powers that be did a fantastic job of throwing everyone off. With the on again off again rumors of Billy Miller replacing Steve Burton, fans were kept in the dark on if and when this big change was going to happen. When the news was finally confirmed, it stirred up all sorts of mixed emotions among the fan bases. Die hard Steve Burton fans were angry, Billy Miller fans were ecstatic that they would be able to see their favorite actor on screen again, and many people just wanted to give Billy a chance and then make a decision on whether or not he could be the new Jason Morgan.

Billy Miller is a hit with the fans. He is living up to the legend of Jason Morgan and his chemistry with Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber) is undeniable. Obviously, any recast is going to have minor and major differences from the previous actor who played the part. It is important to realize that in these situations, we will never get an exact replica. It’s important to welcome these changes with open arms, and appreciate the work that the actor is doing in order to entertain the fans. Billy Miller discusses the differences he is creating in this new Jason, aka Jake. In a recent interview, Miller said, “It would be ridiculous for me to mimic (the way Burton played him).” Miller states that this new Jason is a bit brighter, he smiles more, and throws in jokes to lighten the mood. He continued to explain, “It’s more fun in this genre whenever you can add some lightness to it or make it funny. You don’t get a lot of room for that so I usually look for it. It’s a scary position for this guy who is so lost and doesn’t know who he is, so you match that with a little bit of humor.”

Billy Miller is looking forward to when Jason finally comes in contact with his past. His past that includes his old lifestyle. His job. Miller looks forward to working with legends such as Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), Roger Howarth (Franco), and Tony Geary (Luke Spencer). In regard to working with Geary, Miller says, “I can’t wait for that acting class.”

GH’s Kelly Thiebaud (Dr. Britt Westbourne) Jumping Ship! Find Out Where She is Headed

There have definitely been some major shake ups this year when it comes to General Hospital ins and outs. A few months back it seemed like the actors from General Hospital and the Young and the Restless were bouncing back and forth from each of those two daytime dramas. Y&R gained General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio, Colin Atkinson), while General Hospital gained Y&R’s Billy Miller (Billy Abbott, Jason Morgan), Michelle Stafford (Phylllis Newman, Nina Clay), and Maura West (Diane Jenkins, Ava Jerome), and more.

In more recent casting news, it has been confirmed that General Hospital’s Kelly Thiebaud (Dr. Britt Westbourne, aka The Britch) has been bumped from her contract with General Hospital to a recurring status. The newest piece of information that has caught wind by the soap opera social media is that Kelly Thiebaud is on her way to The Bold and the Beautiful. In a report from Soaps in Depth, there has been a General Hospital rumor floating around that B&B has made Kelly Thiebaud an offer she just cannot turn down. It has been rumored that Kelly will be joining the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful as Steffy Forrester.

A source at CBS denies this claim, leaving this rumor just as it is, a rumor. However, looking back on Billy Miller and the Jason Morgan saga, there was a siginificant amount of back and forth, even to the point of denial that this character was joining GH.

What do you think about this rumor? Will Kelly Thiebaud land a spot on the CBS soap, The Bold and the Beautiful?

Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough) and Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) manage to escape the blaze of glory that became of Crichton-Clark Clinic. Robin told Jason that they were able to escape because of him… they are alive and well and safely on the doorsteps of the ones they love. Robin instructed Jason to drive straight to Sonny’s house after she drove herself to the Metro Court to get in contact with her mother, Anna (Finola Hughes). She feared that if she and Jason went to their homes, they would be putting Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Emma (Brooklyn Silzer), and Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Danny (Corbin and Caden Rothwither) in danger. Just in case Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) and her cronies were on their tales, Robin wanted to make sure that she didn’t put them in that type of situation.

At the end of Monday’s episode, we saw Robin banging on her Mother’s door at The Metro Court, and Jason approaching Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) doorstep, with his wife Sam inside. What happens next? Will it be this easy for Jason to reunite with the love of his life, Sam Morgan, and his best friend, Sonny Corinthos? Jason and Robin are so close to home that WE the fans can taste it. Could it be that we are able to see the reunion everyone has been longing for? …Or will something unexpected happen before Jason gets to present himself to Sonny and Sam?

Welcome Home Jason Morgan!

Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) is eager to bust out of his chamber where Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis) is keeping him captive. Victor has big plans for Mr. Morgan. He wants to use Jason’s strength and skills that he has developed over the years from being Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) mob enforcer to his advantage.

According to General Hospital rumors, it has been said that Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough) and the new Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) will escape from Crichton-Clark, but not without a price. Robin and Jason have been rumored to be involved in a serious accident which will ultimately change the look of Jason’s face.

It is unsure if they will actually go there, and play the plastic surgery card. Many General Hospital actors have come and gone and been replaced in the past without the need of explain their new look. If General Hospital rumors are correct, and Jason has had some sort of reconstructive surgery, what will this mean when it comes to being reunited with his loved ones? Who will recognize him, and who will turn him away? At this point, it isn’t even certain that Jason Morgan wants to be found. General Hospital spoilers indicated that Jason’s wife Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) goes closer to Robin’s husband, Patrick Drake. When Jason returns to Port Charles, perhaps he will find Sam has moved on with Patrick and decide to keep his true identity to himself. Then, only Robin would know the truth about who he really is.

This coming week, General Hospital spoilers prepare GH fans for off the charts drama and excitement. The suspense is immeasurable when it comes to those who are involved with the Crichton-Clark Clinic.

Watch General Hospital this week to find out if Robin and Jason make a clean get away!

Will Luke Save His Daughter Lulu Before Stavros Has His Way?

The Spencer/Cassadine war has been ongoing for decades. The Cassadines have a sick obsession with Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) and his family and just won’t leave them alone. No matter how many times Luke is victorious in bring down a member of the Cassadine Clan, they always seem to resurface.

Last year, when Stavros kidnapped Lulu (Emme Rylan), he had plans for the two to be married and start a family. Well all his plans were foiled when Lulu was rescued by her family. Nothing would stop Luke, Laura (Genie Francis), and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) from coming to her aid and saving her from the crazed Cassadine. The battle wasn’t easy, and nothing is ever final when it comes to the Cassadines, especially Helena (Constance Towers) and Stavros (Robert Kelker-Kelly). Although they were “killed” a Cassadine never really dies. Stavros’ body was frozen and now brought back to life by Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis). Victor couldn’t do it alone, however. Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough) was forced to help Victor bring Stavros back from the dead in exchange for being able to help her best friend, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton/Billy Miller) at the same time. Of course Victor didn’t live up to his end of the bargain entirely. He only wanted Jason to be used as their medical miracle guinea pig, and never really expected he would be able to go home to his wife, Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) and son Danny.

Luke has been kidnapped, drugged, and help captive at a facility called Miscavige, the place where Heather Webber spent some time in the psych ward. Whoever kidnapped Luke, stole his identity, his face, his life. It has been several months since the real Luke Spencer has been absent from the lives of his loved ones, while the impostor Luke would walk around the town of Port Charles making everyone believe that he was the same old Luke. People are starting to catch on to Luke’s odd behavior. Little Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Bechtel) already overheard Luke threatening his uncle Sonny (Maurice Benard), Ava Jerome (Maura West) has seen Luke as her ‘boss’ but knows it isn’t really him… Julian (William DeVry) knows that the fake Luke is actually someone he was in the WPP with a while back. After Tracy (Jane Elliot) has been trying to get in touch with Luke over the disappearance of his daughter Lulu, she starts to sniff out the fishy situation. She knows that Luke would never ignore the fact that Lulu was in danger.

Will Luke be rescued or break free on his own in time to save Lulu from Cassadine control? Stavros has BIG plans for Lulu Spencer Falconeri and Luke may be the only one who can save her. Come October, we will know who the fake Luke really is… perhaps he will be revealed just in time, before Stavros does the unthinkable to Lulu.

Emme Rylan (Lulu) Talks About Upcoming Involvement in Luke Story

There is a lot going to happen with the residents of Port Charles in the upcoming weeks. Many of the characters have been tied together in connection with this huge story involving Victor Cassadine. Robin, Patrick, Sabrina, Rafe, Nina, Levi, Nathan, Sam, Silas, Maxie, Lulu, Dante have all been directly affected in one way or another by Victor Cassadine. We know that Jason Morgan, Stavros Cassadine, and Helena Cassadine will soon be awake and also involved with Victor. One person that could tie all of this together is Luke, or Fake Luke Spencer.

In recent General Hospital rumors, it has been said that Levi (Peter Harrell Jr.) has another boss besides Victor. Could Fake Luke be behind all that is happening in Port Charles? What leads us to believe that Fake Luke, Fluke, has his part in this entire thing is that actress, Emme Rylan, (Lulu Spencer Falconeri) shares some very insightful information. She says, ” When you see us, we are chained up. And if Dante is with Lulu, he’s not out looking to save her, so it feels pretty hopeless. When I saw the script, I was shocked. I had no idea that this is where it was going. It’s kind of like, Lulu and Dante have been on this track, this baby track, and they’ve kind of been in their own world. Lulu hasn’t really been involved with anything happening with her dad, nothing. They’ve just been in baby bliss. Until now. For them, this is completely out of nowhere. What Lulu has been dealing with is nothing compared to what’s about to happen. This makes everything we have gone through in the last year and a half look like nothing. It is bad.”

It looks as though, according to General Hospital spoilers and Emme Rylan, Lulu and Dante will be heavily involved in a story that includes Lulu’s father, Luke Spencer. We know that Victor has taken her, and Levi has been answering ti him. However, if Emme Rylan states that Lulu and Dante are about to be involved with Luke, this could quite possibly mean that Fluke is behind this enormous operation involving The Cassadines, The Spencers, The Scorpios, The Drakes, Dr. Obrecht, Nathan West, Levi Dunkleman, The Falconeri’s, The Jeromes, The Corinthos Clan, and more.
