Help Bring Michael Easton (Silas) Back to GH

Who killed SilasWhen fans found out that Michael Easton’s character, Silas Clay had been written out of the show, GH executives received a lot of backlash from that decision. Easton is a long time ABC soap vet, gaining most of his popularity as John McBain from ABC’s One Life to Live.

When he joined the vast of General Hospital, Michael Easton reprised his role as John McBain from Llanview, only now then he resided in Port Charles. Due to legal issues between ABC and Prospect Park, GH was no longer allowed to use the name John McBain. Easton was then brought to the show, as the brother of Stephen Clay, from the GH spin off, Port Charles.

General Hospital rumor has it that co-stars such as Kelly Monaco (Sam Morgan), are very displeased with the way Easton and his character were written off the show. The buzz started at the General Hospital Fan Club Weekend in California, where people claim that Monaco expressed her dissatisfaction with losing Easton at GH.

It is now our chance to help get Michael Easton back to General Hospital as Silas. There is a petition with almost 8,000 signatures already. All we have to do is band together and sign, in hopes that TPTB will be able to bring this character back, despite the way the story for Silas was written under Ron Carlivati’s doings. Now that Carlivati has been let go from GH and Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman are taking over, there is possibility that we can get Silas back to Port Charles.

Please help us get Michael Easton back on General Hospital! CLICK HERE to sign the petition.

Share this post as many times as possible in order to maximize the potential of every signature to get Easton back.

GH Blog wants to thank you in advance for you support.

Rebecca Budig Returns to GH with a Contract

RebeccaBudigThe ABC soap vet and All My Children alum, Rebecca Budig, joined the cast of General Hospital back in March of this year. She was brought on as her character was part of the Jason Morgan/Jake Doe story line. As of right now, in Port Charles, Hayden Barnes, played by Budig, holds the key to Jason’s true identity.

Sure, other people are aware that Jake Doe (Billy Miller) is actually Jason. Those people include, Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis). Well since Nikolas is the original person to harbor this secret and let Liz in on it because she is in love with Jake/Jason, and since Nik is now acting like a full blown Cassadine, there’s no chance of him or Liz coming clean. Nikolas told Lucky about this so that Lucky could have peace of mind if he decided to leave town. Knowing that Jason Morgan was caring for his children, Lucky felt it was right for him to leave and let Liz be happy. Therefore, Lucky has skipped town, and won’t be back to tell for the foreseeable future. Laura Spencer overheard a conversation Nikolas was having that she obviously was never meant to hear. Although she doesn’t agree with what Nikolas and Liz are doing, she feels that it isn’t her place to reveal the truth and expose their lies.

This leaves Hayden Barnes. Hayden is the woman that Nikolas out a hit out on in order to keep her quiet. Recently, Patrick has been receiving reports of her condition, that she is waking up.

General Hospital spoilers have revealed that Rebecca Budig has already started taping for GH, and her character will return this Fall. According to Soap Opera Digest, Budig has signed a contract with General Hospital and is here to stay… well at least she’s here until her contract is up.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on any news related to Rebecca’s status with GH.

General Hospital Breaking News: Confirmed, Michael Easton OUT at GH

SilasYesterday, General Hospital Blog shared a rumor that had been flying around, claiming that Michael Easton was leaving General Hospital. As it turns out, that rumor has become true.

Michael Easton joined GH after the fallout of our two beloved ABC soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live. He first came to Port Charles as John McBain, his character’s name from Llanview on OLTL. Due to legal issues between Prospect Park and ABC, ABC was forced to change the OLTL name. With some clever writing, Michael Easton soon became Dr. Silas Clay, with ties to the show, Port Charles.

This morning, Daytime Confidential has confirmed that Michael Easton has ended his character as Dr. Silas Clay on General Hospital.

How do you feel about this breaking news? GH Blog is uncertain if Michael Easton has decided to walk away from GH or if the actor was let go. We will keep you updated with any information related to this story.

General Hospital Rumor: Is Michael Easton OUT at GH?

McbainThe latest casting buzz following the news of GH Head Writer, Ron Carlivati being let go, is that Michael Easton may be on his way out. Michael Easton joined the cast of General Hospital after One Life to Live was cancelled. Easton went on to continue playing the role of John McBain until ABC had some legal issues with using the names from the axed soap. The GH writers were forced to drop the OLTL names, and wrote Michael Easton as Dr. Silas Clay.

Rumor has it that Michael is on his way out, but nothing has yet been confirmed. Daytime Confidential has also reported of this rumor, apparently, this type of news travels quickly.

It seems as though there has been much potential for Silas. First with Sam (Kelly Monaco), then with Nina (Michelle Stafford), and also with Ava Jerome (Maura West). There is so much that could be done with his character, since he has Kiki (Hayley Erin) as his daughter, Nina as his crazy ex-wife, Ava his ex-mistress and their love/hate relationship. A while back there was a GH rumor going around that Nina didn’t actually lose her baby with Silas, but that Madeline and Ava were in cahoots to take Nina’s baby (Kiki) and pass her off as the product of Ava and Silas’ affair.

Hopefully with the new writing team coming into place, they will be able to find a way to elaborate on Silas’ past and develop his character. Many fans have expressed that a Silas and Ava pairing would be a great idea, especially since there is so much history between those two.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans posted on any new developments related to the status of Michael Easton with General Hospital.

We want to know what you think! Would you like to see Michael Easton stay on GH as Silas Clay?

General Hospital News: Seeking New Character

General Hospital spoilers and news have revealed that GH executives have posted a casting call. It looks like we will be getting a new face around Port Charles. The question is, will this new face be a replacement for an actor who has left the canvas, or will this be an entirely new character altogether?
They are seeking a new character, an African-American male. This man is said to have to be in his mid 30s, and should be “very handsome, dynamic, and charismatic.”
This will be for a contract role on GH.

General Hospital rumors have speculated, guess that this may be a recast for Sean Blakemore’s character, Shawn Butler.

Let us know what you think. Is this casting call for a recast or a new character? General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on any new information, and any confirmation of an actor chosen for this role.

Anthony Geary Says Goodbye to General Hospital As He Tapes His Last Scenes

EWGearyCheck out the video clip below of Tony’s last day on the set of General Hospital!

We all knew this day was coming, but it has really crept up on us all rather quickly. A few months back, General Hospital Blog shared the news that Anthony Geary had announces his retirement, after over 3 decades on the daytime drama, General Hospital. His character Luke Spencer is legendary to say the least. Geary and co-star Genie Francis made history as the infamous Luke and Laura.

Tuesday, June 22nd, Anthony Geary taped his very last seen as Lucas Lorenzo Spencer. Luke will be departing Port Charles later this Summer. It was an emotional goodbye, as his friends and cast mates bid him farewell after 37 years in the iconic role. Geary was surrounded by GH stars including Finola Hughes (Anna Devane), Leslie Charleson (Monica Quartermaine), Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe), Kristina Wagner (Felicia Jones), Kin Shriner (Scotty Baldwin), and more. At the farewell, friend Maurice Benard told Geary, “Not having you here is going to be sad for me.”

Anthony Geary has won 8 Daytime Emmy Awards for his role as Luke Spencer. He has called GH his home for 37 climactic years.

Leaving General Hospital is bitter sweet for Geary. Although it’s sad to say goodbye, he looks forward to what the future holds for his personal life and his career. Geary tells Entertainment Weekly, “I’m excited to raise the curtain on act 3, to reinvent myself in my new home to pursue whatever opportunity there may be. It’s  an exciting prospect to me. They’ve done a wonderful job of wrapping up the character. So this seems like the ideal time to go.”

As Geary walks away from the Daytime genre, he leaves with words of hope and encouragement for the industry and fans. In regard to the survival of daytime soaps, and the stir up involving the cancellation of One Life to Live and All My Children, Geary tells EW, “It was scary there for two or three years when every thing was being cancelled. The network thought that talk shows should take over because people weren’t going to be interested in soaps. But there has been a resurgence and I think that’s hopeful sign. I don’t believe it’s the end of the medium. Serialization is a great way to tell stories.”

Anthony Geary and Luke Spencer will be greatly missed by us at General Hospital Blog. Geary is an extremely talented actor, and Luke will never be forgotten. We wish him the absolute best in everything that comes his way going forward. It is sad to say goodbye, but there is a warm place in our hearts knowing that he gave so much to the industry for so long. Thank you Anthony Geary! We love you!

Anthony Geary final day on General Hospital

General Hospital Spoilers: Lulu Learns the Truth About Luke and Laura

General Hospital fans along with the residents of Port Charles have been left in the dark when it comes to Luke and Laura. On the surface, it looks as though Laura Spencer has come back to Port Charles to stake her claim in Luke, the love of her life. However, there is so much more to it than that. It has to be something HUGE for Luke to up and hurt Tracy like that, after he has been so sure of his love for her. Luke was ready to truly commit himself to Tracy Quartermaine once and for all until Laura came to him with unsettling news.

General Hospital spoilers have revealed that while Tracy and the rest of PC are angry with Luke, thinking he has chosen Laura, his daughter Lulu learns the truth. It has been rumored that Luke will end up disclosing to Lulu what he and Laura are actually up to, and what they are facing. Lulu must keep her parent’s secret from the rest of their family and friends, but will the secret also be kept from fans? We aren’t actually certain whether or not the writers a GH will be letting us in on Luke and Laura’s secret right off the bat. Odds are though that that will be going on an adventure together and we will get to see exactly what they are up to outside of Port Charles.

Since the news regarding Jonathan Jackson (Lucky Spencer), Emma Samms (Holly Sutton), and Nathan Parsons (Ethan Lovett)’s return, there are endless story line possibilities for Luke and Laura. Stayed tuned to General Hospital this Summer for all the adventure and drama, and to say farewell to the legendary Lucas Lorenzo Spencer.
