You won’t believe who’s showing up on Sunday at the #DaytimeEmmys on @poptv. OMG…
General Hospital’s Executive Producer, Frank Valentini loves to use social media to keep fans informed and at the edge of their seats. If you have a twitter account, following Valentini will let you in on some of the best General Hospital spoilers! Although he doesn’t reveal more than is necessary, Frank Valentini’s tweets regarding upcoming episodes, plot twists, shocking story lines and more can be found regularly on your twitter feed.
Last week via twitter, Valentini revealed a new General Hospital spoiler involving a major couple. It looks as though a fan favorite duo will soon experience turmoil and will be torn apart. Recent General Hospital spoilers have leaked that Lulu’s new found cousin, Valerie Spencer (Brytni Sarpy) will need a shoulder to cry on. GH rumors have been circulating, considering a shocking twist for the happy Falconeri family. Will Dante sleep with Lulu’s cousin, Valerie? That’s the word out on the street anyways. Dante has always been 100% devoted to Lulu, they are a down to Earth, loving, married couple with an adorable child. If these GH spoilers and rumors are true, what could possibly be going through Dante’s head to make him sleep with another woman?
Frank Valentini’s tweet could very well be referring to any major GH couple such as Maxie and Spinelli, Maxie and Nathan, Sonny and Carly… but to coincide with the recent rumors that Dante will sleep with Valerie, it’s definitely a possibility. What do the fans think? Do you think Dante and Lulu need a little shaking up, or do you admire their loyalty and devotion to each other and their family?
Executive Producer Frank Valentini has some exciting news for GH fans…
General Hospital has just celebrated it’s 52nd Anniversary, being the longest running Daytime Drama on air today. The anniversary episode went out with a bang, revealing a HUGE secret the Spencer family has been holing back all these years.
Fan’s emotions we all over the map as they watched a young Luke Spencer, played by the extremely talented Joey Luthman, a feisty teen Patricia Spencer played by the lovely Chloe Lanier, along with Laura Wright who played Luke’s mother, a young Bobbie Spencer, and Tony Geary who played Luke’s alcoholic, abusive father.
As the story unfolded, fans, along with the Spencer clan, learned that Luke Spencer accidentally killed his own mother ironically, as he was trying to protect her from his father. Ultimately, Luke’s anger toward his abusive father lead him to kill him as well. Luke has been burying this night away in his memory bank, suppressing the traumatic events. Thus resulting in the current story line where Luke has been acting evil, with an alter ego, and having DID.
People Magazine reports that General Hospital has a big event planned for the month of May. On May 15th and 18th, the cast and crew of General Hospital will air LIVE from Los Angeles as a continuation of the 52nd anniversary, celebratory episode.
Executive Producer, Frank Valentini reports, “Taking such an iconic show such as General Hospital live for two days is both exhilarating and risky.” He continues on saying, “I am enormously proud of our cast, crew, and staff for all their tireless dedication and hard work that will be leading up to this daytime television event. It’s live television and absolutely anything can happen, but that is what’s fun about this and we’re absolutely up to the challenge.”
During the episodes, fans will be able to engage with the actors in a live conversation via Twitter with hashtag #GHLive.
Elizabeth Webber fans are about to get really excited because this General Hospital spoiler could have many different outcomes. Straight from the horses mouth, fans are now aware that in the next few months, we will see more Webbers… this could mean that Liz may get pregnant, long lost relatives like Sarah Webber could be headed back to Port Charles, or even Liz’s father.
Liason (Liz and Jason) fans have jumped to the conclusion that this particular spoilers could mean that Elizabeth becomes pregnant -with Jake’s (Jason) child.
Liric (Liz and Ric) fans have been tossing around the GH rumor that Liz could also get pregnant with Ric’s baby, since his latest scheme to get Jake away from Liz by hiring a fake wife seems to be going according to plan, for now.
Fans have also been wondering if we will see more of Elizabeth Webber’s history, including her dad.
General Hospital spoiler confirmation: In an #AskGH twitter chat, Executive Producer, Frank Valentini responded to a fan. In his response he tells fans that Liz’s family will grow this Summer.
How do you think this story with Elizabeth will play out over Summer? Would you like to see her have another baby? Does the possibility of Sarah Webber returning peak your interest?

In the most recent issue of Soaps in Depth Magazine, legendary General Hospital icon, Anthony Geary, talks to sources about his career at General Hospital, Head Writer Ron Carlivati, Executive Producer Frank Valentini, and the Fluke Story coming full circle.
There are huge General Hospital rumors circulating in regard to Tony Geary’s status with GH, Luke Spencer’s family secret, and just exactly how the Fluke story will come to a close. Fans have been speculating that at this time, as we creep up to GH’s 52nd anniversary, is when the Spencer family secret will be revealed, and Geary will end his 37 year role on ABC’s General Hospital.
Tony Geary tells SID that Carlivati leaves nothing unanswered when it comes to this whole Fluke story, the DID will tie into the beginning of Luke Spencer, including the rape of Laura, and will even explain why Luke disappears unannounced, leaving his family and loved ones behind. This story will ultimately come full circle. Geary is extremely pleased with the direction Ron Carlivati is taking this character. He tells sources at SID, “I am so thrilled. I feel like they’ve done an amazing job into pulling this character into an understandable, motivated ball after thirty seven years.”
Geary tells Soaps in Depth that he gives credit to Executive Producer Frank Valentini as well for giving him the opportunity to place this dark side of Luke. “I was getting weary, and thinking it was time to go,” he revealed, ‘Frank said, ‘What haven’t you done on the show?’ I said that I wanted to explore the dark side of Luke.” It looks as though Valentini did just that, he listened to Geary’s request and made it happen.
For the full interview and more quotes from the amazing Tony Geary, please check out the March 30th issue of Soaps in Depth.
Early this month General Hospital Blog reported that All My Children Alum, Rebecca Budig, (Greenlee Smythe) would be joining the cast of General Hospital. Loyal ABC soap fans went wild with this exciting news, as they celebrated the news of this casting decision.
When AMC went off the air, there was much disappointment and fans felt the loss of both AMC and OLTL. OLTL fans were fortunate to be able to catch their favorite stars (Roger Howarth, Kristen Alderson, and Michael Easton) join the cast of General Hospital. Now that Rebecca will be joining GH, AMC fans have something to celebrate.
However this good news does not come without controversy. New General Hospital rumors have been circulating in regard to who Budig will be playing when she arrives in Port Charles. After Executive Producer, Frank Valentini tweeted that Budig will join GH in a “killer new role” most fans took those words literally, and speculated that she would be playing another GH villain. Now that the dust has settled and fans have gotten used to the news of her coming to PC, it can’t help but to cross everyone’s minds…
GH rumor has it that Rebecca Budig will be replacing Kimberly McCullough as the icon Robin Scorpio Drake. McCullough joined General Hospital at the age of 7, beginning in 1985. Recently, the actress has come and gone in her role as Robin to pursue her directing career. The executives at GH have always left the opportunity open for McCullough to return to the show as long as it was feasible to writer her into the script. Kimberly McCullough has been GH’s sweetheart for decades, and the thought of a Robin recast to fans has been very difficult to take it.
Could these rumors be true? Do you think that the crew over at ABC and General Hospital would recast such a role as the legendary Robin Scorpio Drake? Let us know what you think by leaving your comments below.
This is one piece of General Hospital news that has been kept under wraps. Shocking General Hospital spoiler reveals that All My Children’s Rebecca Budig, who played Greenlee Smythe from 1999-2011. She was a fan favorite, and even in her time away from AMC, she was missed tremendously by fans, and the actress returned to Pine Valley to reprise her role.
General Hospital Executive Producer, Frank Valentini revealed via Twitter, that Rebecca Budig will be joining the cast of General Hospital.
Valentini asks fan to join him and Head Writer, Ron Carlivati, in welcoming Ms. Budig to the cast!
Are you excited to see this ABC soap vet back on screen? Let us know what you think of this casting decision.
General Hospital has had many villains come an go over the decades. However, not many of them made such an impact as the more recent villain that swept into Port Charles unannounced, caused quite a stir with not only the GH audience, but also on-screen with the other General Hospital characters. The residents in Port Charles new there was something very off about Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) new friend. She brought him back home with her after she went on her Eat, Pray, Love, journey of self discovery. She was totally under his spell. Maximista was no longer a fashionista, but she was an anti-meat eating, inner spirit seeking, yogi. Levi Dunkleman caused some serious reactions with GH fans and friends and family of Maxie.
In his time away from General Hospital, Zachary continued his acting career with taking part in a Christmas film auditioning, and guest starring on a few TV series.
A couple months back, the executives over at General Hospital sent out a tweet to actor, Zachary Garred, telling him that they wanted to call him back for some time a GH, but unfortunately, he was back in Australia at that time.
In recent GH news, General Hospital spoilers reveal that actor Zachary Garred hopes that his character, Levi Dunkleman aka Peter Harrell can return to the canvas. His death was sort of left open-ended. Although Maxie thinks that Levi was dead, with all the craziness that goes on, it is uncertain whether or not he will turn up alive.
Would you want to see Levi come back to General Hospital? Let us know by leaving your comments and opinions.
