General Hospital: Ric (Rick Hearst) and Portia (Brook Kerr)
Drew who?! Ric becomes Portia’s problem now! Is there anyone out there who thinks that Ric Lansing is anything other than a villain? Meaning, does any percentage of the GH audience find Ric Lansing a likable character? Would you ever root for him in a fight against ANYONE? Or feel sorry for him in a sad storyline? Don’t get me wrong, I love the role, and Rick Hearst who portrays Lansing. What I meant is that I highly doubt many GH fans actually LIKE Ric as a person/character living in Port Charles. Instead, most of us are enthralled by his intrigue and subtle creepiness.
Beware!Don’t Underestimate What Ric Is Capable Of
As a GH fan, I think that Ric is interesting, entertaining, and keeps my attention. On the other hand, Ric is a vile, panic-room-harboring, pregnant-woman-kidnapping psychopath. What he did to Carly (and her unborn child, Morgan), and Elizabeth is reprehensible!
Moreover, it’s now decades past the dark times when Ric kidnapped a pregnant Carly. He kept her locked in a secret panic room, and carried out his disturbing acts in the home he shared with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst).
Fast forward twenty-two years and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) walks around Port Charles like he’s not the complete psycho path who held his sister in law captive and kept it a secret from the woman he claimed to love. Despite the trauma of finding that panic button and Carly chained to the wall inside the room, Elizabeth takes walks alone in the dark with Ric. She trusts him as they stand together in the dark, on a bridge, with no one around except Alexis. Strangely, even Carly herself overlooks what Ric did to her.
Ric Increasingly Becomes A Problem- Even A Threat
General Hospital: Portia turns to Ric for help
According to recent General Hospital spoilers and previews, Portia (Brook Kerr) continues to battle with her secret. Currently, Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) calls the shots while he blackmails Portia. GH recaps recall that Portia took Ava’s advice and reached out to Ric for legal representation. Based on his expertise as an attorney, Ric was unable to deliver Portia a positive outlook on her situation. Unfortunately, Drew has the upper hand and she’s at his mercy. That’s when Ric told Portia straight up that she needs to keep following Drew’s orders if she wants the chance to keep Curtis and her career.
Here’s where things could take a turn… While under Drew’s control Portia must betray Curtis in order to keep her secret safe. According to new GH rumors, Ric sees the lengths Portia will go in order to prevent Curtis from finding out. Ric Lansing is as shady as they come, and he wouldn’t hesitate to use Portia’s problem to his advantage. And before you say that he can’t do that because of client/attorney privilege, ask yourself if ethics had ever stopped Ric from wreaking havoc on someone’s life in the past.
At the end of the day Portia believes that she’s been answering to Drew. But actually, Ric instructed Portia to continue as Drew’s puppet. But, that right there demonstrates how Ric has the final say . Once he realizes the power he has over Elizabeth, what will he do with it?
General Hospital: N’neka Garland (Arlondriah Lenyéa)
N’neka gets a promotion, and a new dress! Arlondriah Lenyéa returns as N’neka Garland. Restaurant owners in Port Charles have new competition! This week, Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) held her grand reopening. Charlie’s Pub has been a popular establishment in Port Charles since 2017. However, the pub’s ownership has changed hands a few times over the years.
First, the late Julian Jerome (William deVry) bought the bar from its original owner, Charlie Delaney. After Julian died, his sister Ava Jerome (Maura West) acquired the responsibility. Soon after, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Nina (Cynthia Watros) purchased Charlie’s for Phyllis Caulfield (Joyce Guy). Finally, Sonny handed the Pub over to his daughter Kristina.
Meanwhile, it’s been business as usual at the other Port Charles hangouts. The Metro Court and Bobbie’s are still town favorites. Then there’s the newer place, The Brown Dog, and of course The Savoy. Lately, it seems like the place to be is The Brown Dog. But GH rumors hint that The Savoy gets some attention soon.
GH’s N’neka Garland (Arlondriah Lenyéa)
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Port Charles residents find themselves heading to Curtis’s nightclub in the coming weeks. Apparently, The Savoy needs its most dependable employee. According to GH casting news, the role of N’neka Garland was introduced on February 19th, 2021. actress and professional dancer Arlondriah Lenyéa joined General Hospital’s exemplary cast as The Savoy’s best bartender. Reportedly, the character was named after one of GH’s beloved coordinating producers, N’neka Garland. Later, Garland passed away in 2023 at the age of 49. And her memory lives on in the character, and her portrayer.
Arlondriah Lenyéa returns as N’neka
General Hospital News and Spoilers: According to General Hospital Blog, GH actress Arlondriah Lenyéa confirmed that she was back on the General Hospital set, and filmed scenes as N’neka Garland. Reportedly, actress, model, and dancer, Arlondriah reveals some brand new GH spoilers. She tells General Hospital Blog that N’neka gets a promotion, and a new dress! The LA actress confirmed that N’neka becomes Co-Manager at The Savoy! Obviously, Curtis made the right choice when he decided to keep N’neka on board at the time he purchased the club!
Behind-The-Scenes: The Savoy
General Hospital: N’neka Garland (Arlondriah Lenyéa)General Hospital: N’neka (Lenyéa) and Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell)
Recently, Lydia Look reprised her role as Selina Wu. Ms. Wu she wants what’s owed to her, and she comes to collect. With Selina in town there is bound to be trouble. GH rumors hint that maybe N’neka will have to help out a little behind the scenes (if you know what I mean 😉).
February Sweeps?! Perhaps Curtis Ashford got wind of Charlie’s Grand Re-opening. Maybe he saw what Kristina has done with the place and decided to up his game. How can N’neka help Curtis this time around? Look for N’neka to show up at The Savoy around Valentine’s Day.
Will they ever find out who fired the gun that left Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) paralyzed? He’s on the hunt for the villain who instantly changed his life forever. Meanwhile, Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) is doing a search of her own.
According to General Hospital previews, Portia presents Curtis with some compelling insights. GH spoilers tease that Portia’s research leads to new hope as Curtis adjusts to his new life in a wheelchair. Luckily, his wife is a doctor over at General Hospital with access to potentially beneficial information. This could quite possibly lead to the medical breakthrough Curtis and Portia could only dream of.
Curtis and Portia’s Miracle Curtis Walks!
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Curtis experiences nothing short of a miracle. Currently, he makes the most out of his new normal, and those around him give their full support. But still, it’s an experience that most of us can only imagine. While Curtis, Sonny, and Anna continue their search for the shooter, Portia searches for a way to help Curtis to walk again.
Are her motives entirely selfless? Or does Portia feel she’s gotten a raw deal now that Curtis isn’t the same as when she fell in love with him? I personally think that Portia has only good intentions toward Curtis. I guess we will wait and see
Hasn’t Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) learned her lesson? It seems like this woman goes hard for love but when she’s over it, then she becomes destructive.
General Hospital recaps recall that even before Curtis’s attack Portia wanted nothing more than to make things right with Curtis and Trina. Oddly, the man who got cheated on and raised another man’s baby is totally cool with Portia. Hmm, that reminds me of someone else we know. Marcus Taggert reminds me a lot of Sonny in this sense. Because like Taggert, Sonny is also “cool” with the woman who betrayed him. In fact, he’s so cool with her that he married her! Go figure!
According to recent General Hospital spoilers, Portia is up to her old ways as bad habits die hard. Her current marital struggles lead to temptation. Currently, her husband is found to a wheel-chair and his sex life is compromised. More importantly, Curtis (Donnell Turner) told his wife that he’s not mentally or emotionally ready to get intimate. GH rumors tease that this deeply affects Portia in a sense that she feels neglected. Similarly to when Taggert’s career made her feel neglected as well. Unfortunately, we all know what happened next.
Meanwhile, TJ leans on her shoulder as she preaches to him about keeping secrets. All the while she has this covert mission to sabotage her daughter’s relationship. Moreover, TJ’s grieves and for some reason he cannot open up to Molly the way that he can with Portia. Apparently, the latest GH rumors claim that their individual circumstances throw them together, and Portia and TJ’s affair shatters Curtis and Molly.
In an instant, Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) life was turned into unfamiliar territory. What he once walked through like nothing and knew like the back of his hand, is now a foreign concept. Curtis’s life as he knew it is gone, but thankfully he has the important things to hold on to.
Aside from his beloved family, Curtis’s next love is his business. He started The Savoy as a result of his life altering decision to take a new career path. He was sick of the danger, and over the unpredictability of that lifestyle. That’s why he decided to open up a club in Port Charles. Thankfully, business has been a success since he opened its doors. Despite The Savoy’s success, Curtis made a big mistake. Getting into [illegal] business with Selina Wu has already presented consequences. Her eery threats and passive aggressiveness is just added stress that no business owner needs. Furthermore, Selina isn’t just some pushy business woman. She’s that and then some. She’s all business, and her business isn’t your normal everyday interaction.
General Hospitql spoilers and rumors tease that Selina is a lot more involved in this than they think. Sure, she’s sticking her nose into the situation now that Curtis is paralyzed. It’s obvious that she wants the club and eceb went to Sonny about it. So why would anything think that a woman like Selina stops there? She won’t. Actually, new GH spoilers and rumors tease that her interest in The Savoy post [Curtis’s] injury wasn’t the beginning.
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.
It’s undeniable that Selina Wu (Lydia Look) is one intimidating woman. Can you forget the way she slapped Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) across the face? No. Me neither. It’s difficult to say who was more stunned. Cody, his portrayer, Josh, or the fans! Selina and Cody’s business conversation upon a turn when she suddenly hauled off and slapped him!
The Port Charles night life became a little more interesting when Selina Wu’s (Lydia Look) illegal poker room took up residence at The Savoy. GH recaps recall that Curtis and Selina made a deal. Against his better judgement, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) allowed Selina to run her illegal poker game room in the back of his nightclub.
Selina Isn’t Happy
Meanwhile, N’neka (Arlondriah Lenyéa) does all she can to keep things running smoothly for bother Curtis and Selina. Selina loves to throw her weight around the club as if she’s the owner. Recently, GH recaps recall that Ms. Wu proposed to purchase The Savoy from Curtis. So I guess one could argue that Selina is no longer satisfied by simply “acting like she owns the place.” Now she wants to actually own the place. Apparently, she isn’t about to listen to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and give up the poker room. She came to him because she thought he’d have her back. And when he didn’t, he struck a cord within her and now Sonny has a new enemy.
According to the latest GH spoilers, Curtis’s lead bartender learns the hard way. Selina doesn’t let people cross her and get away with it. That said, General Hospital spoilers indicate that N’neka needs to watch her back. She called Portia to tell her about Selina and Marshall’s strange encounter. What happens to N’neka next if Selina finds out what she’s done? It’s hard to tell, but what we do know is that Selina isn’t happy with N’neka.
N’neka’s loyalties lie with Curtis, however, Selina may not give N’neka a choice but to carry out her orders. Will N’neka agree to plot against Curtis?
Let’s be real here. Not many of us really like to hear the word no as an answer. Some people can’t handle any type of rejection, even if it’s not personal. Oftentimes hearing the word no is taken to heart whether it was meant to be personal or not.
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned
Curtis Ashford had just woken up from a nightmare, except the nightmare didn’t end when he opened his eyes. In fact, that’s when it truly began. Unfortunately, Curtis was shot at the Metro Court. What makes it even worse is that authorities believe the bullet was meant for someone else. Evidently, Curtis wasn’t the intended target. That’s when the PCPD figured that the bullet was meant for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).
After the incident, Selina didn’t waste any time. Curtis didn’t have a moment to collect his thoughts after learning that he’s paralyzed before Selina Wu threw salt in the wound. Immediately, she approached Curtis about The Savoy, and now his professional life is as messed up as most other aspects in his life. Even his marriage to Portia was hanging by a thread.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Selina Wu won’t take no for an answer. Selina doesn’t let Marshall stop her no matter what he says. General Hospital recaps recall that Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett) stepped in for Curtis (Donnell Turner) while he takes time to adjust to his new life. For the time being, Marshall is in charge of The Savoy. But just because Marshall spoke on behalf of The Savoy, that doesn’t mean Selina likes it, or that she will even oblige. Selina isn’t about to end her poker game.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Selina Wu goes to war with a new enemy. Marshall isn’t the only one who told Selina she couldn’t do what she wants to do. She went to Sonny, thinking he’d have her back. But when he didn’t, her vibe suddenly changed. Now her mere presence could freeze Arendelle if Elsa ever needed help.
It looks like Selina has reason to use her power around Port Charles. Who will pay the price?
Sonny unleashes the Mobster within Selina! …For the most part, Selina Wu (Lydia Look) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) have a common understanding and mutual respect for one another. That being said, neither party intend to make the other an enemy. Unfortunately, sometimes that a just happen.
General Hospital recaps recall Sonny and Selina’s latest conversation about The Savoy, specifically her back door poker room. Evidently, Selina figured that she could simply walk into Sonny’s office and present him with her personal dilemma. Furthermore, she expected him to agree and comply, but when he didn’t, the dismay was written all over her face.
Previous GH spoilers suggested that Selina is now a woman scorned. Sonny is someone who she thought considered her an ally. If that were true, then why is Sonny Corinthos protecting someone else? Selina second guesses where she ranks with Sonny. Now, she has some important decisions to make. If Sonny wants to protect Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Marshall during their family’s struggle, he may risk putting his own family in peril.
According to earlier GH news and spoilers, Ms. Wu’s portrayer gave insight on Selina and Sonny’s relationship. She revealed her true feelings on how she sees Selina and Sonny’s relationship. The actress recently attended a Coastal Entertainment fan event in which she addressed fan’s questions. “I don’t want that, and personally, I feel like for the storyline, it wouldn’t be good for us to have a fight.”
…So many to choose from but we damn only pick ONE! Actually, YOU cannot pick one!! We get to choose three actors who knocked it out of the park this week.
