General Hospital Spoilers: Laura’s Christmas Wish Granted, Lulu Wakes To Save Charlotte

Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) lived for his family, but not in the noble family man type of way. Instead, it was more like he wanted to lead a powerful band of criminals.

Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) has been brainwashed! It seems like Uncle Vic wanted the last word because his terror through Port Charles lingers. General Hospital recaps highlight Victor’s influence over his granddaughter Charlotte. His evil ways live on through her as she makes Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) her first victim.

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Laura is stressing over what’s going on with Charlotte. As if she didn’t have enough trouble with her son Nikolas Cassadine, now she’s worried about her granddaughter. Victor’s influence in Charlotte’s life is evident, and Laura is afraid. She knows what they are up against because she’s had a lifetime of experience with the Cassadines. The last thing she wants is to see her granddaughter under their spell. Sadly, that’s exactly what’s happening and will worsen unless someone intervenes. But whom?

General Hospital rumors tease that Laura gets her Christmas wish! She and Charlotte want nothing more than for Lulu to wake up. Her lack of presence in Charlotte’s life is taking its toll and Laura knows that things would be better if Lulu were here. GH fans speculate that the time is finally here, and Lulu saves Charlotte just in time!

What could happen if no one stops Charlotte? Well, Anna wouldn’t be her only victim. Even worse, Charlotte is headed in Helena Cassadine’s (Constance Towers) direction. She’s a little dark Queen in the making. That is unless Lulu wakes in time to stop her!

General Hospital Spoilers: Anna’s Instincts Were Right, There’s A Real Threat And Charlotte Isn’t Anna’s Stalker

Anna Devane is beside herself after she shot Valentin’s daughter Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez). It’s been months and months of back for Anna as she digs into her past. At any given moment there could be a new threat to her life so she has been digging into her past for possible answers.

The latest General Hospital recaps recall Anna’s desperate search for whoever is after her. She’s almost certain that someone from the WSB is out to get her after all these years. Anna stumbled upon the name Jameson Forsythe and was almost positive that he is the one wreaking havoc on her life.

Not only is she shook to know that Charlotte is her stalker, but what’s more damning is the fact that Anna shot her. She struggles to process that she shot a child- and the child of the man she loves. But the latter is another story.

Charlotte Isn’t Anna’s Stalker

GH rumors and spoilers tease that Valentin and Anna might be over, but the threat against her life isn’t. It turns out that Charlotte didn’t burn Anna’s house. Instead, someone much more dangerous than a troubled child wants to see Anna squirm.

Recent GH spoilers tease that Anna’s instincts are spot on and that Jameson Forsythe is a name to keep on the front burner of her mind. Reflectively, at one point Anna and Sonny thought that someone could be after either of them, or even both. And the connection to the WSB may also involve one of Sonny’s enemies. Anna isn’t out of the woods yet and neither is Sonny. Cyrus Renault is still a threat while Anna’s stalker is at large as well. Is there a possible connection between Forsythe and Cyrus? According to GH rumors, Anna and Sonny team up to take down a new villain… and an existing enemy.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina Cheats On Sonny, Valentin Becomes A Target- Victor Never Accounted For This

Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) is stirring things up around Port Charles. It’s one thing to worry about mob bosses, text message and hook killers, but it’s another to have to fear a child. Fifteen year old Charlotte looks innocent as children tend to be, but that’s not entirely that case with this one. After all, she is a Cassadine. Darkness runs through Did you expect anything else?

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) revenge plan against Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) results in the unexpected. Charlotte’s concern for her father is genuine, however it’s coming from a dark place. The only reason she’s after Anna is because of Victor and his tarot cards.

Nina Cheats On Sonny With Valentin! Or So It Seems…

It seemed like the perfect plan. Victor uses his granddaughter to hunt down Anna- all in the name of protecting her Papa. But Victor didn’t account for things such as free will and human interaction. Now, GH rumors claim that Victor’s plan seems to work as he and Anna drift further apart. However, things start to divert from his plan as the situation pushes Valentin closer to Nina. And the closer they get, the more Sonny Corinthos gets angry.

GH spoilers and rumors hint that Nina cheats on Sonny with Valentin- or at least that’s what it looks like. Ultimately, Sonny picks up on Nina and Valentin. Will he jump to conclusions or have a viable reason to put a target on Valentin’s back?

General Hospital Spoilers: Elizabeth Condemns Anna, Her Holier Than Thou Attitude Strikes Debate, Is Jake In Danger?

*Elizabeth condemns Anna and endangers Jake*

Jake Webber (Hudson West) and Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) are growing up right before have become close friends throughout the years. Now that they’re teenagers, the time they spend together isn’t always supervised. Hence how Charlotte had the opportunity to slip away from her friends when Valentin trusted her alone.

As one of the youngest Cassadines, Charlotte seems to be leaning toward the dark traits of the family. General Hospital recaps recall a long history of malicious acts by Valentin and Lulu Spencer’s daughter. Lately, Charlotte’s behavior has become very Cassadine-like. While GH rumors hint that young Charlotte’s on her way to becoming Helena 2.0, many GH fans hope she turns herself around.

Anyone who knows anything about General Hospital knows that Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) is lethal. The Cassadines are known for their deadly usurpation schemes which have no bounds. Power, control, and revenge are what drive these dark Cassadines. So it makes sense that Victor would use his granddaughter to get revenge on Anna. But by having Charlotte carryout his dirty work, she becomes a danger to those around her.

Elizabeth Condemns Anna and Endangers Jake

According to GH spoilers and rumors, Elizabeth Webber’s son is in potential danger. His friendship with Charlotte could put him at risk if she continues to be held under Victor’s mind control. That is, unless his mom shakes that holier than thou attitude and sees the truth. Elizabeth is so quick to condemn Anna when she has no clue that her son is hangs around Helena Jr. Then again, Elizabeth knows all too well what it’s like being involved with a Cassadine. After all, Liz is the one who helped Nikolas imprison a young pregnant woman.

If Elizabeth doesn’t wake up, who knows what could happen to Jake.

General Hospital Spoilers: Lulu Awakens As Charlotte Fights For Her Life? Will Laura Count Her Blessings Or Her Losses?

How much pain and agony can Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) face? It seems like many of us focus on the hardship of certain characters while overlooking those of others. I’m not sure of that’s totally true in this case, but from what I’ve witnessed, it could.

Undeniably, General Hospital fans went crazy over everything Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) went through. Gladys and Dr. Montague’s stunt was the last straw as fans demanded justice for Sasha. She’d suffered to major human losses, and lost her own freedoms while entrusting it to Gladys. As if that wasn’t enough, then her own mother-in-law sold her dead husband’s garage from under her nose. Naturally, Gladys Corbin has to pay off her gambling debts somehow. So, why not sell what belonged to Brando (Johnny Wactor)? That’s just how Greedy Gladys thinks. Next, she stole Sasha’s money to pay off even more, and hired a creepy doctor to keep her drugged and unfit to look over her own finances. Sadly, this scheme almost kicked Sasha, but Cody (Josh Kelly) and crew print into action, and you know the rest.

If we go back in time, it’s clear that Sasha isn’t the only damsel who has been distressed beyond the norm. Laura Spencer, among others, carry that reputation as well. However, as the years go on, Laura continues to feel loss and heartache. Not to mention she was also held captive in her day. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Port Charles is shaken to its core after Anna shot Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez).

General Hospital Spoilers: Port Charles Shaken To It’s Core After Anna Shot Charlotte- Will Charlotte Survive Anna’s Bullet?

Lately, Lulu Spencer’s (Emme Rylan) has been named-dropped quote often. Typically, when a character is mentioned time and again, over the course of some time, they tend to make their way back to the scene.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Emme Rylan Breaks Silence On Lulu

It’s incredible how time flies! One day it’s December of 2020, and a fan-favorite leaves General Hospital. Then before you know it, it’s creeping up on four years since then, and whispers of a return fill social media news feeds.

General Hospital recaps recall when Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) went to visit Lulu at her care facility. This past August, Charlotte teared up at her mother’s bedside. She struggles with her mother’s absence, in addition to other family issues. That’s why many fans believe that it’s the perfect time to wake up Charlotte’s mother, Lulu.

Meanwhile, Valentin’s got his work cut out for him on the home front. He’s a father first and foremost, but a Cassadine nonetheless. With that comes challenges that he and Charlotte struggle to handle on his own. According to recent GH spoilers and rumors, it makes perfect sense to wake Lulu from her coma at this time. Naturally, Lulu is a Spencer! She’s strong, resourceful, and most importantly, the Spencer family gives the Cassadines a run for their money. Currently, Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) reach has gone beyond the grave, making Lulu’s daughter his target.

Emme Rylan Breaks Silence On Lulu Spencer’s Return

General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the latest on Emme Rylan and her role as Lulu Spencer. Finally, the actress addressed all the buzz as storyline dialogue recently began to name drop Lulu Spencer. The actress made it crystal clear that she’s open and willing to return to General Hospital as the iconic Lulu.

Additionally, Rylan disclosed that she’s under the impression that TPTB will call her if and when they plan for Lulu to awaken from her coma. In regard to the flood of fan messages and inquiries the actress started by saying, “I am getting approximately one million messages asking if Lulu is waking up and… I don’t want to ruin storyline ever. I am very much into the integrity of storylines whether I’m in them or not. So I’ve been putting it off and putting it off and putting off talking. Because I’m getting so many messages! I don’t know what to say!”

There’s a fine line between what is allowed to be disclosed and what satisfies the fan’s inquiries. Emme addressed the situation the best she could. She concluded her explanation by stating, “So basically, the bottom line, no matter what the internet says, I have made it very clear to GH that I am always available to play Lulu should she ever want to wake up. It is my understanding that when they choose to wake her up, they would be calling me. That could always change. Who knows? But that is my understanding. When they want to wake her up, they will call me. That’s as much as I know and I have not heard from them.”

What do you think? Are the writers preparing to wake up Lulu just as Charlotte needs her mother the most?

General Hospital Spoilers: Charlotte Shot Curtis With The Gun Victor Gave Her For Protection Against Anna Devane

*Charlotte shot Curtis with Victor’s gun*

The entire Cassadines Legacy never surrenders, even in the afterlife. Although things change every year as heirs and monarchs can play musical thrones, the Cassadine endgame remains the same. Generation after generation, the dark and twisted family keeps fighting the good fight until everyone in Port Charles has met their demise.

Since that hasn’t happened (yet), any Cassadine could pop in at any given moment with some wild plot for Cassadine world domination. General Hospital spoilers reveal that the most import step is to eliminate Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). That’s where Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) and Victor come in to play.

Previously, GH spoilers revealed that Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) uses tarot cards to get in his granddaughter’s head. Not just to know what she’s thinking, (duh, he’s dead), but to control what she thinks. He’s provided instructions along with the cards, and a stern warning against Anna.

Charlotte Shot Curtis?!

According to the latest GH rumors, Charlotte takes Uncle Victor’s warning very seriously. The mere mention of Anna’s name sends Charlotte into a daze. In her mind, Victor is looking out for her’s and Valentin’s best interest. As a result, she is sick with worry for her Papa. She truly believes that Anna is a danger. That’s why GH rumors speculate that the Anna was meant to get hit that night. Sadly, GH spoilers and rumors tease that Charlotte shot Curtis with a bullet that was meant for Anna Devane.

General Hospital Spoilers: An Experienced Enemy Targets Anna- Peter August Uses Charlotte To Destroy Anna

Peter August uses Charlotte to destroy Anna and Valentin — *Peter August uses Charlotte to destroy Anna*

Who would have thought that Elizabeth and Finn would have come this far. The Doctor and the Head Nurse have been through so much together over the last few years. And what started out as friends/in-laws has become a romance.

Previously, a traumatic experience strengthened Dr. Finn (Michael Easton) and Elizabeth Webber’s (Rebecca Herbst) bond. After all, nothing says ride or die like helping each other cover up a homicide! Am I right?

General Hospital recaps recall that one fateful day when Finn got mixed up with the likes of Peter August (Wes Ramsey). It’s not like he had a choice. Instead, Finn was forced to play Peter’s twisted little game. Because if he didn’t, it could have cost Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) life. Thankfully, alls well that ends well, and Chase made a miraculous recovery while Peter August met his demise. Or so Finn and Liz thought.

General Hospital Poll: Is Peter August Still In The Freezer?

Peter August Returns, Uses Charlotte To Destroy Anna

According to GH spoilers, Anna’s situation causes friction between herself and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Her safety is compromised after a series of events, including her house being burned to the ground. Moreover, GH rumors tease that Finn and Liz are stunned when Peter August’s whereabouts surface. What really happened after Elizabeth and Dr. Finn last saw him?

Meanwhile, Anna’s mystery terrorizer is on the loose and that raises concern. What ever happened to Peter when he was no longer in that freezer? How in the H E ???????? did he escape? Odds are, Peter didn’t climb out of the alone. Liz and Finn were positive that he was dead. But from the looks of things that’s probably not the case.

GH spoilers reveal that Anna’s on the right track. There’s no doubt that something going on with Charlotte Cassadine, but it’s hard to tell. She seems extra attached to Valentin lately. Furthermore, she’s behaving strangely with those tarot cards. Ultimately, Anna comes to terms with accepting that this is both personal and professional. There’s no doubt that what’s happening to Anna is on a personal level while carried out like a professional.

While it may look as though Charlotte is behind this, that could be what someone wants everyone to believe. Who better fits that narrative than Peter August!? What better way to get back at both Anna and Valentin? And using his daughter is the icing on the cake. Surely Peter fits the bill with his personal vendetta against Anna, and his experience working with professional criminals like Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Oh, and the fact that his not-so-dead body just disappeared.

General Hospital Spoilers: Valentin Breaks Things Off With Anna

Anna and Valentin face some more turmoil just as the dust began to settle in their romantic relationship. Over the years, chasing Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) became a way of life for Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

Eventually, the chase became the ultimate catch when Anna finally took the bait. And that’s meant in the most positive light as Anna realized that she loves Valentin Cassadine. Finally, Valentin landed his lady love. Despite all of the WSB and Cassadine, and mob drama, Valentin and Anna remained strong for themselves and one another. But things started to fall out of place for this tragic couple when Valentin’s secrets began to drop one by one.

Valentin breaks up with Anna Charlotte Cassadine

According to General Hospital spoilers, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) continues to help Valentin cover up what they think Charlotte has done. His daughter Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) seems like a sweet, yet troubled girl. Understandably, as Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) haven’t been the most present parents for one reason or another.

Whether it’s by choice or terrible circumstance, Charlotte has been tossed around to any and every extended family member. She showed troubling tendencies from an early age, and on a few occasions. Immediately, her behavior became scrutinized and compared her behavior to her grandmother’s. Yes, the dark Queen herself, Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers).

As a result of all the chaos, Valentin breaks up with Anna for her own good. Despite his love for her, he has to let her go. In fact, it’s because of Valentin’s love for Anna that he breaks things off. GH spoilers and rumors tease that the risk is just too high, and he’s not willing to take it.
