We all know this is a General Hospital Blog, (hence the name, haha), but we find it absolutely important to show our support for our fellow shows in the genre. Earlier this month, DOOL fans were blindsided with the shocking news that the entire cast and crew of the show were let out of their legally binding contracts, thus allowing the individuals to seek out other work. The reason behind the contract release was due to the announcement that Days Of Our Lives would be on ‘indefinite hiatus.’ It was said that the daytime drama had enough episodes taped to carry them through Summer 2020, and then the decision would be made to renew or not renew for Days for another season.
This good news posted by Deadline, has reassured DOOL fans and Daytime fans alike, the show WILL continue on for season 56. Oh happy “DAYS!”
Last week on November 11th, GeneralHospital and Days Of Our Lives star, Tyler Christopher made headlines as reports came flooding in of his arrest and charge of public intoxication.
Despite this incident happened on the actor’s 47th birthday, the result was not just a one time thing to chalk up to too much birthday fun. Friends and co-stars rallied for Christopher in support of their friend. Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) along with Greg Vaughan (ex-Lucky Spencer) are among some of the celebrities and friends of Tyler Christopher who reached out on Twitter to show support and clear the air. Nancy Lee Grahn made it known that this situation is serious, even stating in her Tweet, Tyler is “at risk of losing his life.”
Today, General Hospital news reported by michaelfairmantv.com, states that the Judge who sentenced Christopher to two counts of misdemeanor public intoxication and a $440 fine, has rejected the Police’s request to our Tyler Christopher into a rehab treatment program. We are unsure at this time why such a ruling was made. It is also known that police were called regarding Christopher’s behavior multiple times since September.
General Hospital Blog continues to support and extend prayers to Tyler, his family and friends, and all those who care for and wish him well. Our hope is for a fast road to recovery.

Yesterday, November 12th, Soap Opera Breaking News took the soap fandom by storm as the biggest announcement in recent years regarding the soap world was published. It has been confirmed that the entire cast of NBC‘s Days of Our Lives has been released from their contracts.
So you’re probably wondering, what does this mean? Well, it means that all the actors, and the entire staff (lighting, music, etc.) are free to go out and seek new work. They are no longer bound to their contracts, as now DOOL is on indefinite hiatus.
The show is taped about 8 months in advance and it has been reported, there are enough episodes to take the soap opera through Summer. Hopefully by then, the network and show executives will have come up with a solution to keep the nation’s longest running soap opera in production. Lower salaries for the cast has been mentioned as a requirement if the soap does return.
What does this mean for ABC‘s General Hospital? General Hospital is ABC‘s only surviving Daytime Drama after the cancellation of All My Children (ended 2013) and One Life to Live (ended 2012).
Thankfully, DOOL is on an entirely different television network than that of GH, which is on ABC. If it is a cost issue within the network, it doesn’t have anything to do with the status of ABC‘s, General Hospital. There is always a chance the network could follow suit and try something like this to cut costs. There has been no word of this happening to General Hospital over at ABC.
General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on the status of DOOL. Stay tuned to General Hospital! We cannot lose our show!
Tracy Quartermaine is currently experiencing some life threatening health issues. In recent episodes of GH, Jane Elliot’s character, Tracy, has been experiencing neurological symptoms, and seizure.
Although her son Dillon (Robert Palmer Watkins) came as soon as he received the call from Hayden that his mom was having an episode, it looks as though her other son, Ned will soon be near her mom, in Port Charles.
Exciting General Hospital news just broke, as GH spoilers reveal that long time, fan favorite, Wally Kurth is returning to General Hospital as Ned Ashton.
Kurth’s current status on Days of Our Lives has dropped from contract to recurring, which in turn allows him to return to General Hospital on a recurring status as well.
Ned may be involved in Tracy’s health story, and we can’t forget his love he left behind, Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero).
Is there still hope for these two to become a real couple?
General Hospital Blog has the inside track to what is going on with Rebecca Herbst and the rumors that have been swirling regarding her status with General Hospital.
Fans are up in arms in fear that today’s rumor may be true. It has been said that Herbst contract has expired and that she is leaving General Hospital to join the cast of Days of Our Lives.
While it is true that Herbst current contract is ending, however, nothing has been reported in regard to whether or not she will be re-signing with General Hospital, or if she will part ways with the Daytime Drama she has been part of since 1997.
Today, ABC and GH Executive, Nathan Varni, informed GH Blog that it is true that Rebecca’s contract is still under negotiation, but no final decisions have been made at this point in time.
Drama has risen when it comes to the baby daddy triangle between Olivia, Julian, and Ned. Now that Sam Morgan knows that Olivia is keeping this baby secret from her father, Julian Jerome, things are about to get more intense.
Previously, General Hospital Blog reported the departure of GH’s Wally Kurth (Ned Ashton) from General Hospital. Wally made the announcement to fans via twitter, that he will no longer be on GH as Ned Ashton, as he is also on NBC’s Days of Our Lives. He made a statement that he wished he was able to do both GH and DOOL, but unfortunately he is not.
GH Blog has also previously reported that Lisa LoCicero (Olivia Falconeri) is pregnant in real life with her second child, a baby girl. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Lisa LoCicero and Wally Kurth will both be leaving General Hospital in the month of May. However, there is good news, as Lisa is only going on maternity leave, and is due back sometime mid-Summer, around July.
Stayed tuned to ABC’s General Hospital to find out just how these two skip town. Keep checking back with us here at GH Blog for updates on the latest story line and news.
Kirsten Storms joins former Days of Our Lives alum, Martha Madison (ex-Belle Black DOOL), and General Hospital co-star Kathleen Gati (Dr. Liesl Obrecht) in the new series, Winterthorne.

Actress Martha Madison will be playing the role of the lead character, Miranda Winterthorne. Kirsten’s role will be Miranda’s younger sister, Selene Winterthorne. Selene is said to be stylish, sexy, and witty… which is a lot like Kirsten’s portrayal of Maxie Jones.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on the debut of this online series. Congratulations to GH’s Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) on her new role.
Alison Sweeney is a long time daytime star who played Sami Brady on NBC’s Days of Our Lives for almost 22 years. She also has hosting The Biggest Loser under her belt, along with many other projects that have displayed her many talents. It has been confirmed that ex-Sami will be moving her talents over to ABC’s General Hospital. Although this time her role will be much different. She won’t be playing any on screen roles, Sweeney will be working on directing with the GH executive team. Alison isn’t a directing rookie however, she has spent time in the past directing some episodes of Days of Our Lives.
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Executive Producer Frank Valentini disclosed that he asked Alison to join the GH team after she spent some time observing on the GH set and said, “She’s sort of paid her dues and spent some time learning the show,” so when an opening presented itself, “I asked her if she was available and she said yes.”
Alison Sweeney is said to direct her first episode this month.
