General Hospital reached 1 million Facebook followers

Do you recall what was going on in Port Charles in 2013? Sure, ten years is a long time but we aren’t amateurs. Of course we can remember the happenings of Port Charles from ten years back! Remembering one measly decade is nothing compared to the OG fans. Those General Hospital stans are the true ride or die types who have watched since day one (April 1st, 1963). That’s six decades!

General Hospital Reached 1 Million Followers, Cast Thanks Fans

While many of us started watching this iconic Soap Opera before we even had our first kiss, we encourage new, fresh fans every day! It’s nice to be able to grow the fan base, especially geared toward the younger generation. As I recall, I began watching General Hospital in 1992 with my mom and my sister. And throughout my pre-teens and high school years my friends also watched. Sadly, today most of my friends have stopped watching. And let’s be honest, we aren’t friends anymore either lol. Haha but that’s another thing.

Remember when Julian called himself Derek Wells?!

It’s hard to below that 2013 was ten years ago. General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that 10 years ago today, General Hospital reached 1 minion Facebook followers. It’s an impressive milestone for daytime drama. And 10 years later and GH is going strong.

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.

Peter and Cyrus have a past

General Hospital New and Spoilers: Can You Identify The GH Stars In This Retro Photo?

General Hospital 90s retro

Many refer to the 1990s as General Hospital’s Golden Age. For me, the 90s is when it all began. I was about 10 years old when Ned, aka Eddie Maine sang “Little Sister” to Julia Barrett’s sister, Brenda (Vanessa Marcil).

60 years of General Hospital makes for plenty of an incredible content to debate which era is superior and why. But I honestly don’t think that’s necessary because not everyone began watching during the same time period. No matter your favorite time in Port Charles, the important thing is that we all continue to have new favorite moments for years to come.

Ok, I guess now I’ll list the actors and character names for the above photo. This General Hospital 90s retro gem includes, Wally Kurth (Ned Ashton), Cheryl Richardson (Jenny Eckart), Sean Kanan (AJ Quartermaine), and Crystal Carson (Julia Barrett)! They were exciting times!

General Hospital Spoilers: Portia Is Grateful But Selina Isn’t Happy With N’neka- What’s In Store For The Savoy’s Lead Bartender?

Selina isn’t happy with N’neka
Selina isn’t happy with N’neka

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?

General Hospital Spoilers: Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned! Selina Wu Goes To War And Someone Pays The Price

Selina Wu goes to war
Selina Wu goes to war

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.

General Hospital Spoilers: Marshall Oversees Curtis’s Affairs- Will Curtis Fill Marshall In On ALL Of Savoy’s Dealings?

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?

General Hospital Spoilers: Will Y&R Alum Jordi Vilasuso Take Over As Nikolas Cassadine?

Jodi Vilasuso as new Nikolas Cassadine

Nikolas Cassadine was first introduced on General Hospital in 1996. Tyler Christopher originated the role and left a lasting legacy. While the time has changed hands a few times over the years, Tyler Christopher’s portrayal of Nikolas Cassadine is forever iconic.

In 2019, Marcus Coloma joined General Hospital cast as the 5th actor to play the infamous Dark Prince of Spoon Island. Despite the fresh faces that played Nikolas in between Christopher and Coloma, those two actors left behind the most memorable impressions.

Stephen Martines/Coltin Scott as Nikolas Cassadine

As GH recaps recall, Stephen Martinez, (alternative name Coltin Scott) also played Nikolas Cassadine. While I don’t speak for everyone, but to me it feels like his 1999-2003 run as the future ex-Mr. Ava Jerome (Nik) was more like 4 weeks than 4 years. Oddly enough, Coloma spent less time in the role than Martinez, yet it seems that GH fans have a tendency to overlook Martinez as the iconic Cassadine. With all due respect to Stephen, he’s a great actor. But some people just fit it happen, and for Nikolas Cassadine, that is Tyler Christopher and Marcus Coloma.

Jodi Vilasuso as new Nikolas Cassadine

Unexpectedly, General Hospital news reports confirmed that Marcus Coloma’s contract was not renewed, and the actor was leaving the 60 year old soap. Fans and co-stars were shocked when the news broke, causing many to question the TPTB’s decision.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nikolas is ready about ready to show his face. Maybe not in Port Charles quite yet, but he’s on the love. Previously, General Hospital hired Adam Huss to step in for Coloma on brief occasions, and then again when Marcus Coloma left General Hospital. This brought about confusion among fans, especially because of what what’s going on with Nikolas’s character. Ava Jerome had just bonked him over the head during the role change-up.

So naturally, confusion grew around whether or not Nikolas was dead. Did Ava really kill him? Also, how did he go missing? Meanwhile, Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth) had all of the answers. Obviously, we all know now that Bik is alive and well. The role was recast by Adam Huss, but there isn’t confirmation on whether or not Huss is here to stay. That said, GH spoilers tease that it’s possible that Y&R star, Jodi Vilasuso is gearing up to play the infamous Nikolas Cassadine.

In a recent interview with Soap Opera Digest, Ali articulates her feelings and experience as she prepared to and acted through her first love scene. She mentions that Trina mentally prepared for her’s and Spencer’s first time. But, not in the way you’d think. Instead, she meant it in an an excited sort of way, and then explained Trina’s thought process. Ali said, “I think she’s trying to get mentally prepared,” Tabyana started. “Not like, ‘Oh gosh, I need to mentally prepare for this,’ because I do think she’s already been thinking about it.” She added. “When I say ‘mentally prepared’ I mean it more like, ‘Okay, I need to calm my nerves of excitement.”

GH’s Ali had nothing but praise for her co-star and friend, Nicholas Alexander Chavez. When it comes to her easing her anxiety, Tabyana said that Chavez, “He would ask me, ‘What are the places you are okay being touched? What should I not touch? Is it okay if I do this or that?’ He was very respectful, which I definitely appreciated, and I tried to do the same thing with him.”

And when it was all over… Tabyana reflected on her experience with Nicholas Alexander Chavez. Indeed, Ali and Chavez’s first love scene experience together is one for the books. “They were already close mentally, and this brings them closer together physically,” Tabyana audibly analyzed.

General Hospital Spoilers: GH Star Hints At Steve Burton Return

Wally Kurth Steve Burton Wally Kurth hints at a Steve Burton return

GH vet hints at a Steve Burton return! Double-duty soap star Wall Kurth weighs in on the most talked about General Hospital topic of current times. Kurth knows all about working on two soap operas at once, so he has some credible insight on the situation. We might know him as Ned Ashton Quartermaine, but there’s another network that claims Kurth as well. Before there was Ned, Wally started as Justin Kiriakis on NBC’s Days Of Our Lives.

Wally Kurth Weighs In On Steve Burton

According to the latest General Hospital news, Wally Kurth shared some insight on today’s most talked about topic. As previously mentioned, Kurth currently works for ABC’s General Hospital, as well as Peacock’s Days Of Our Lives. Because of his experience, working on both soaps, he had a little something to add to a recent conversation.

In a podcast published to social media platforms, GH news and spoilers reports confirm that Kurth weighed in on the perpetual curiosity of Steve Burton’s aka Jason Morgan’s fans. Is he or isn’t he? Evidently, despite Burtons current contract status with DOOL, co-star Kurth said, “he’ll be back on the show (General Hospital) soon.”

Although Burton remains under contract, GH spoilers and news reports confirm that the iconic mob enforcer signed a one year contract which will be up in March of 2024. So far it’s six months down and six to go before his contract with Peacock’s Days.

Despite his 2021 exit, many argue that ABC’s General Hospital is Steve Burton‘s home. Compromising his beliefs wasn’t something he was about to do to keep his job. However, the mandate has been lifted. Therefore., that being said, along with thirty years as Jason Morgan under his belt, fans hold out hope he will return to GH.

What do you think? Is Wally Kurth’s prediction right?
