General Hospital News And Spoilers: GH Fans Thrown For A Loop By New Leo

It’s not uncommon to suddenly see a new face around Port Charles. Actors come and go, and especially with children, they are often times replaced to age the character. In the soap world, it’s called SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Age Syndrome).

General Hospital news and spoilers regarding this recast has remained hush hush. Sweda’s status with GH is up in the air as fans worry the recast is permanent. Unlike other times when the recast is temporary, there was no voice over introducing the temporary recast. Instead, the cameras kept rolling and the scene went on without any type of announcement.

General Hospital fans took to Twitter to find answers. As it seems, General Hospital spoilers and rumors lean toward claim the recast is just temporary. According to some Twitter users, claims have been made that the word is Easton Rocket Sweda is being replaced temporarily, but there has been no confirmation either way.
