General Hospital News: Maurice And Ingo’s Video Misconstrued; Maurice Reaches Out To Nancy, Issues Apology For Playful Post

GH’s Maurice and Ingo offend Nancy

GH’s Maurice and Ingo offend Nancy Lee Grahn. General Hospital star Maurice Benard is a fan favorite. He’s famously known and loved for portraying family-oriented mobster, Sonny Corinthos. The Emmy winning actor is also for his kind heart, his dedication to community outreach, raising mental health awareness, his sense of humor, and much more.

General Hospital news reports reveal Maurice’s recent Instagram video with co-star Ingo Rademacher caused backlash from fans. Benard and Rademacher’s dialogue was taken out of context and misconstrued. On screen, Sonny and Jax other than their devotion to Carly, may be polar opposites and even enemies, however, in real life they are very close friends. The two daytime tv icons (along with an earlier appearance by Kin Shriner, aka Scotty Baldwin), were part of a video posted to IG. The video featured Maurice and Ingo’s silly banter. Among the topics discussed were Kin and Ingo’s hair, as well as, working on the GH set.

Maurice Benard and Ingo Rademacher’s video causes a stir

General Hospital spoilers reveal details of the Instagram video in question. Ingo points out that he is about to go work with his “friend.” Then, Benard asks Ingo whom. When Ingo points to Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis), Benard says, “Oh I’m sorry man,” and the two playfully laugh. According to GH spoilers, GH’s Maurice and Ingo offend Nancy with their backstage performance.

It’s no secret that Ingo and Nancy have had their issues. Previously, General Hospital Blog reported GH news that stated Nancy blocked her co-star Ingo Rademacher from her Twitter account. Unfortunately, Ingo and Nancy have a rocky relationship in recent times. It’s understood that Maurice was simply making light of their past situation when his playful comment got blown out of proportion. In the Instagram video below, you can see Maurice and Ingo’s playful and light hearted exchange.

GH news confirms Maurice Benard issued an apology, explaining his intentions. In addition to an apology, he emphasized his respect for Nancy Lee Grahn. Take a look at Maurice’s apology in the tweet below.

We hope all parties involved have cleared the air and found a way to move on from this. Benard reminded fans of his playful nature while calling on other co-stars. Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos), Dominic Zamprogna (Dante Falconeri), are among the many of Maurice’s friends who partake in Maurice’s lighthearted fun.

We hope Maurice has the happiest of birthdays!! We ❤️ you, Maurice!

General Hospital Spoilers: Ryan Chamberlain Enlists His Biggest Fan, Heather W.; The Perfect Pair To Terrorize An Entire City

Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) is on another level of psycho that is so rare, only one other person comes to mind when meeting his match.

It takes a “special” kind of mind to be able to terrorize people who have wronged you but an even more rare type of psycho to harm those you claim to love. Ryan Chamberlain is infatuated with Ava Jerome (Maura West) yet he killed her daughter, Kiki (Hayley Erin) in the name of doing right by Ava. Another person who would justify such a heinous act would be none other than, Heather Webber (Robin Mattson).

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Heather W. refers to the infamously insane, Heather Webber, mother of Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth). Ryan Chamberlain’s security guard read his mail out loud, which included a letter signed, “Your biggest fan, Heather W.”

General Hospital rumors hint that Heather could be making her way back to Port Charles after expressing her admiration for his “work.” Ryan is fixated on getting revenge on Ava after she tried to trick him into thinking she actually divorced Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma). As they say, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” but in this case, the one scorned is Ryan after being rejected by Ava. It’s possible that he will get an ego boost from Heather’s fan mail, which will ultimately result Ryan enlisting Heather to help carryout his psychotic plans to go after Ava.

Odds are, that if Heather does return to Port Charles, she will be more than just a threat to Ava. Franco, her son, is going through a hard time with his medical diagnosis, and dealing with his family struggles, it would be just like Heather to swoop in and cause more trouble for Franco than he needs right now.

Heather and Ryan would make a dynamic duo as psychotic villains, going after anyone and everyone they felt was deserving. Unfortunately for Ava, that person is her. Can Nikolas protect his wife from not one, but TWO crazy stalkers?

General Hospital News: Amanda Setton Returns To GH As Brook Lynn Quartermaine

The last time GH fans saw Amanda Setton in the role of Brook Lynn Quartermaine was back in the Summer of 2020. The actress went on maternity leave, and Briana Lane took over the role. But before Briana left as Brook Lynn, she took her character into a direction that will lead to many story line possibilities.

General Hospital news reports Setton will return to the canvas this month, and right off the bat, there won’t be a dull moment when this spot fire comes back to Port Charles. Before Brook Lynn left, she slept with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), which has lead to new GH rumors.

General Hospital rumors indicate Brook Lynn could return pregnant with Valentin’s baby!

General Hospital News: GH’s Emme Rylan Confirms; Next Stop Los Angeles!

It was yet another reason why 2020 was a terrible year. On top of everything going on in our world, a General Hospital fan-favorite was (temporarily) let go from the daytime drama. Emme Rylan’s exit from GH as the iconic role of Lulu Spencer Falconeri, shocked not only fans and co-stars, but Emme herself.

General Hospital news reports confirmed the actress’ exit after Rylan took to social media to confirm that she and her family would be going on a year long road trip. Emme and her family packed up after their landlord informed them the house they were living in was sold, and they had to get out.

General Hospital spoilers suggested that Emme would have the opportunity to return if and when the writers decide to have Lulu wake up from her coma. General Hospital rumors suggested the role could be recast, but there has not been any news confirming this rumor.

Fast forward to February 3rd, Rylan shared a photo of her children in the car as they headed to Ohio as another leg of their road trip. In the comments, a fan asked if Emme would return to General Hospital. Emme replied in an IG comment stating, “If they ask me back ❤️.” Emme then cleared the air for another fan when replying, “Yep! I lost my job and our landlord sold the house we were living in! In the same week! Now we are making the best out of a tough situation and visiting family that we haven’t seen in a long time.”

General Hospital news reports reveal Emme Rylan has made an announcement regarding her next stop on their road trip. In an Instagram post dated February 19th, Rylan revealed that they are headed back to Los Angeles, and will be there in a week. Although GH rumors are flying, making claims of Emme’s return to GH as Lulu, Rylan has not yet confirmed her reason for returning to LA. In the comments under Rylan’s post, fans are asking if she has gotten a callback from General Hospital regarding her return. Rylan has not yet replied.

Is it time for Lulu to wake up from her coma? Rylan’s road trip with her family was initially intended to last a year. However, it’s entirely possible that Rylan got called back to GH sooner than she thought.

Zanders return will be very interesting. GH rumors indicate a rough road ahead for Cam, possibly dealing with all that’s going on with Franco’s (Roger Howarth) medical condition. GH rumors claim Brannon will rerun as Zander in ghost or dream form, as maybe a way to help him through the tough times.
