John J. York No Longer on Contract with GH

It seems like there are a lot of changes happening over at the set of General Hospital. As confirmation of Kelly Thiebaud’s status change with General Hospital has been revealed, more changes are about to become public. Kelly isn’t the only actor placed on recurring status with the popular daytime soap.

General Hospital vet, John J. York who plays the long time charmer, Mac Scorpio, has been on recurring status since the beginning of October.

The list of General Hospital ins and outs is ever changing and it seems as though there is always an actor on his/her way in and one on their way out. Fortunately, John J. York will not be leaving his role as “Uncle Mac” behind, we will just be seeing a little less of him on screen.

It has been said that Brandon Barash will return to General Hospital to reprise his role as Johnny Zacchara for a short period of time.

Currently, Johnny is serving time in Pentonville for the murder of his own flesh and blood, mob boss, Anthony Zacchara. Since Johnny’s return is rumored to be a short period of time, perhaps we will see him behind bars… sharing a cell with none other than Sonny Corinthos.

Tony Geary Returns to General Hospital!

It has been a long road for General Hospital’s Tony Geary and his legendary character, Luke Spencer. As previously reported, Tony Geary has been out on medical leave and recovering from back surgeries. He has been staying in Amsterdam during his recovery. Since the early months of Summer, fans have been worried about the actors health, wishing him well and sending their prayers.

This Fall, fans are geared up for the return of Luke Spencer and to finally find out who is behind all of this mess. What we all really want to know is who Fluke really is. We currently know that Jerry Jacks is definitely involved. Jerry and Helena are working together, and he even admitted to Tracy, Sam, and Patrick, that he has Luke prisoner. Jerry is holding Luke as leverage over Tracy so that he can take over ELQ… so he says. But what we still cannot figure out, is who is the man impersonating the real Luke Spencer?

Sources and General Hospital rumors have noted that Tony Geary started taping scenes again in October. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Tony Geary will make his first on screen appearance in early November, just in time for November Sweeps. Regarding Geary’s return to the set, Head Writer Ron Carlivati says, “Roughly in October, which puts him hopefully back on the canvas during November Sweeps.”

Who will rescue Luke from the Miscavige Institute? General Hospital rumors have been curcling around the possibility of Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake being involved in Luke’s rescue. Tell us how you think this story will play out! Who is the fake Luke and who will save the real Luke Spencer?

GH Executives indicate that fans will be SHOCKED when Fluke is revealed… we won’t see this coming…

General Hospital Promo: A Whole New Side of Jason!

ABC’s General Hospital has a brand new promo to give fans a sneak peek at the new Jason Morgan! Actor Billy Miller has taken on the role and replaced Steve Burton as Jason after 21 years. Right now, Jason Morgan is lying in a hospital bed at General Hospital with Nurse Elizabeth Webber at his side. The only thing that feels right to him at the moment is a connection with the name Jake. He chooses to call himself Jake and he and Liz agree upon that decision. Jason and Elizabeth are starting to start a bond… or rekindle and old one. No matter what Jason’s personality will be like, and no matter who he will be most drawn to, the fact remains that Jason Morgan is HOME. His wife, Samantha Morgan, his boss, Sonny Corinthos, and his best friend, Carly Corinthos Jacks will be getting their loved one back, along with his Mother, Monica Quartermaine, and many other friends and family that have been missing Jason since 2012.

Our Favorite Mobster, Sonny Corinthos; Maurice Benard Sticking Around General Hospital

On September 23, General Hospital Blog reported that actor Maurice Benard who has played Port Charles top dog when it comes to the mob- and women, Sonny Corinthos, since 1993, may be leaving General Hospital to pursue other opportunities. According to Soaps in Depth magazine, it was noted that Benard had not yet signed a contract with ABC’s General Hospital to renew his current status with the show.

However, in a brief conversation with fans, Maurice had a different tune in regard to his plans for his future at General Hospital.

Sonny Corinthos fans can sleep easier tonight, knowing that the talented actor will be staying at General Hospital, a place that he calls, “home.” Benard will manage to stay at GH while expanding his horizons and working on other projects. His most recent project, The Ghost and the Whale, will be available for pre-order very soon.

.@reneem38 @MBtvNews I LOVE my home of General Hospital and I LOVE making movies. I can do both. What do you think?

Luke Spencer and Larry Ashton Have Striking Resemblance

Back in the Summer, fans were warned that they would not be seeing any resolution to the Luke Spencer/Fake Luke mystery until Fall. It was noted that actor Tony Geary was out on medical leave after undergoing two back surgeries. He has been recuperating in Amsterdam, and set to return soon. It is that time, October, 2014, that we were promised to see Luke back on our screens. With news of Hugo Naperi who played Ned Ashton’s Father, Larry Ashton returning to the set of General Hospital, we can’t help but look for a connection between Napier’s character, and the Fluke story line. His past involvement with Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) and his desire to take over ELQ leads fans to believe that Larry Ashton will be very much involved with Tracy, Ned (Wally Kurth), and the story that has kept fans in the dark for several months… who is the fake Luke Spencer?

Take a look at the photo comparison that has been posted. Is it just a mere coincidence, and will Larry Ashton returning to General Hospital as himself, or will he be in the form of a man we like to call, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer?

Ned Ashton’s Father Returns to Port Charles!

It has been a long time since the residents of Port Charles have seen this man’s face. It has been confirmed that the father of Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth), Larry Ashton, played by Hugo Napier will be returning to the canvas very soon. Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) and her son Ned are taken by surprise when Larry returns to PC.

Hugo Napier stepped onto the GH canvas back in 1988. Back then, he was out for treasure and Tracy was the same black mailing money woman she is today. She blackmailed the father of her son to give her and Ned a piece of the pie when he had his hands on the treasure. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out the way Ashton planned and he left town.

In 1991, Larry Ashton returned to Port Charles and work along side Harlan Barrett and Cesar Faison. Needless to say, they were up to no good. Tracy was a pawn in their game of trying to take over ELQ. Paul Hornsby was to marry Tracy in order to gain control of the Quartermaine family company. Fortunately for the Quartermaine’s, their plan was unsuccessful.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Hugo Napier will be returning to General Hospital to reprise his role as Larry Ashton. As if Tracy didn’t have enough going on in her life right now as she is trying to figure out what is going on with her current husband, or the man she thinks is her husband, Luke (not Luke) Spencer, Larry Ashton decides to stroll on in.

With such ties to Cesar Faison and Harlan Barrett, could Larry Ashton have something to do with fake Luke?

It is uncertain at this time as to when Larry Ashton will make his debut in Port Charles. General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on Hugo Napier’s status with General Hospital.

Husband of Samantha Morgan, Father to Danny, son of Monica and Alan Quartermaine, and loved by many, Jason will finally be back in Port Charles after almost two years of being gone. Jason’s friends and family have believed that he has been dead for almost two years time. Long time friend, Robin Scorpio Drake is the only one (other than the creepy Cassadines and villains involved) who knows Jason is alive.

There is so much hype circulating in the media due to the anticipation of this character’s return. Social media sites are all abuzz regarding this extremely exciting time for GH and Jason Morgan fans. One social media route that fans use tremendously to discuss General Hospital is Twitter.

This allows fans to ask questions to their favorite stars, and in turn those stars show their appreciation of fan’s support by taking time out to talk with them online.

Fans have been rallying for the new Jason Morgan to join twitter so that he can engage in conversation with his supporting fans. Billy Miller has made it clear that he will not be joining the social media site, Twitter.
