There has to be a deeper, more dramatic reason for Levi to be in Port Charles than Maxie and Felicia’s priceless Aztec jewels. Perhaps his extreme skills of manipulation and scheming is a lovely trait passed down from a previous generation.

In a recent interview with Michael Fairman, Zachary Garred touched on the possibility of being connected to Port Charles by his biological Father. Michael Fairman asked, “So, Mac Scorpio (John J. York) really despises Levi!  He has had him pegged from the beginning.  What if turns out that Mac is really Levi’s father?  Oh, the irony!” In response, actor Zachary Garred said, “Oh!  If I could wish to be the son of somebody it would be John J. York (Mac) who is wearing a white pink checkerboard sort of golf pants right in front of us! I love him.  Actually, that is the kind of guy I would like to have as my dad.” He later continued on to say that he is the son of someone in PC, but cannot say who.

Zachary warns that along with Levi’s new haircut also comes some new behavior.

Sam is a Cassadine, What is in Store for Her When Helena Returns?

Other than the fact that we all know Sam is Alexis’ daughter, the writers rarely touch on the fact that Sam is indeed a Cassadine. Alexis Davis, born, Natasha Alexandra Cassadine, is the daughter of Mikkos Cassadine. Helena was married to Mikkos and she murdered Mikkos’ mistress Kristen Bergmen (Alexis’ Mother) right in front of her. Alexis was traumatized by what she witnessed and experienced severe amnesia. She was raised under the assumption that she was poor and was given the name Alexis Davidovich. This story, similar to a Cinderella/evil step mother saga is what made Alexis who she is today. She is a Cassadine, but like her nephew Nikolas, she is severely lacking when it comes to being an evil sociopath like the rest of them.

Now that we have had a bit of a history lessen, let’s discuss where Sam and Helena fit into all of this. Sam is on the case trying to find out what exactly happened the night of Patrick and Sabrina’s accident. Molly told Silas that Rafe revealed to her that someone put him up to running Patrick’s car off the road. Victor Cassadine admitted to Robin that he was the one who get a hold of Rafe and convinced him to cause the accident in order to keep Robin in line. While Robin is working diligently on bringing Jason back to life, she is also there under strict order from Victor to bring Helena and Stavros Cassadine out of their cryogenic state.

What if…

If General Hospital rumors play out, and Helena is actually awakened by the brilliant Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake, we know that Helena will be out for blood. Sam and Helena have had little to no interaction with one another in the past, even though they are both Cassadines. Since Victor has Jason, and Sam is his wife, will Helena want something from Sam before she can see her husband? It would be an interesting twist to finally see these two pinned against one another. Sam is a strong, capable woman but Helena is pure evil. Do you think Sam would stand a chance against the legendary villain?

If you think Helena and Sam would make a great rivalry, share your ideas and thoughts on how such a story should play out. We look forward to reading your opinions!

General Hospital fans just cannot put this one down! The buzz has never been greater than it is right now circling the news and rumors regarding our beloved Jason Morgan.

However, we do know that Victor Cassadine has Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake working to being Helena, Stavros, and Jason Morgan back from their froze, cryogenic state.

General Hospital’s Jason Shocker! Is He IN or is He OUT?

It seems like the executives over at ABC’s General Hospital have been going back and forth on whether or not the iconic role of Jason Morgan would be recast after the departure of Steve Burton. Steve Burton played Jason Quartermaine (later Jason Morgan) for 21 years. After leaving General Hospital due to conflicts of interests with General Hospital executives, Burton soon after joined the cast of  CBS The Young and the Restless as Dylan McAvoy. He has signed a 2 year contract with Y&R, therefore, has no intention of going back to General Hospital in that time.

Just because GH doesn’t have Steve Burton, doesn’t mean they can’t have the character, Jason Morgan. We have seen it done many times through General Hospital’s 51 years of existence, Amazing actors and fan favorites have been forced to be recast all the time. Edward Quartermaine, Carly Corinthos Jacks, AJ Quartermaine, Lulu Spencer, Nikolas Cassadine, Helena Cassadine, just to name a few. What makes Steve Burton any different? Although Steve Burton made the character of Jason Morgan who we all know and love today, there comes a time where the show must go on.

We have been hearing for many months now that the role of Jason Morgan would be recast, and the actor to play that role would be Billy Miller from The Young and the Restless. However, nothing has been confirmed or denied. Many credible sources have admitted seeing Miller around LA with GH cast members. When Miller was asked the direct question if he has joined the cast of GH to play Jason Morgan he danced around the question.

Due to many rumors circulating the media, fans were expecting to see Jason return to GH (in the form of Billy Miller), this August 7th-8th. After today’s SHOCKING episode of General Hospital fans are left with more uncertainty and confusion about this subject than ever before. Robin telling Patrick “Jason is dead,” is not exactly what fans expected to hear just one day before Billy Miller has been said to make his debut. It looks like Robin is willing to push Patrick over the edge just to be able to save him from Victor’s wrath. Robin denied that she is being threatened and being held captive. She assured Patrick that she is there because she wants to be even though Jason is dead. She is claiming that her research and work will be of the greater good and that she is helping terminally ill people in the future. What happens next? Is Robin lying to Patrick in order to protect her family?

The Return of Jason Morgan

There is one topic on General Hospital as of lately that just cannot be put down. Fans across the board can’t seem to come to terms with the fact that Steve Burton is gone from General Hospital and is not returning for the forseeable future. Steve Burton has signed a 2 year contract with CBS The Young and the Restless, as Dylan McAvoy. He is happy there, and has no intention of coming back to General Hospital as of now.

But what about all the hype that Jason Morgan will be returning to GH? As we know, Jason Morgan is presumed dead, Sam a widow, and Danny is left without a Father. All of a sudden, Victor Cassadine comes traipsing into Port Charles, pressuring Dr. Robin Scorpio to come away with him. He knows she would do anything for her best friend Jason, so he informs Robin that Jason is alive, and just needs some medical help to wake him up. So, now the fans are well aware that Jason Morgan is supposed to be alive. For months now, the media has gone back and forth on whether or not the role of Jason Morgan would be recast. Things finally seemed to settle on one particular rumor. The rumor that Billy Miller, (ex-Billy Abbott Y&R), will be taking over the role of Jason Morgan has seem to sit well with most fans. There are indeed still some fans that want Steve Burton or no Jason at all. If these rumors are true, we may be seeing Jason Morgan resurface as early as the first to second week in August. Sam and Patrick are investigating Nina Clay at Crichton-Clark medical clinic where Patrick runs into his wife Robin. Knowing that Robin is working on bringing Jason back to life, Patrick is aware that his best friend’s husband is most likely in the near vicinity. Even now, Patrick keeps quiet regarding what he knows about Jason, leaving his pal Sam in the dark about her husband.

Will these rumors regarding Billy Miller taking on the role of Jason Morgan come true? Officials have not yet confirmed this news, and no concrete validation of a signed contract has been revealed to the general public. However, many actors have hinted toward the mews that Miller has joined the cast of General Hospital.

Look for a possible Jason Morgan sighting this week on General Hospital!

Robin Scorpio Drake Returns!

Are you all ready for the storylines to pick full force? From Patrick and Sam to Nina and Silas, to Robin and Jason, get ready for an extreme August that will lead us into late Fall.

This week on General Hospital, Sam and Patrick head out on an adventure to dig up dirt on Nina Clay. Sam has her suspicions  about Nina and she asked her pal Patrick Drake to accompany her in a quest to find out what Nina is really up to.

While at the clinic, Patrick remains silent about what he knows about Jason and what Robin is actually doing while she is away. We see Robin this week and she won’t be in Port Charles. Keep a look out for her at the clinic where Sam and Patrick are spending time looking into Nina’s medical files. Will Jason be right around the corner to where Sam and Patrick are conducting their detective work?

The amount of time Robin will be on screen is unknown. Actress Kimberly McCullough has not disclosed how long her stint on General Hospital will be this time around.

The Colbert Report: Stephen Colbert Asks James if He Will Go Back to General Hospital

In the July 30th episode of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, James Franco was Stephen Colbert’s guest star. In the interview, Stephen and James discussed his new film Child of God, his degree in English that will give James a new title (Dr.), and much more.

When mentioning Franco’s upcoming accomplishment in education, Colbert jokingly asked him if he would be going back to General Hospital. Get it? A Doctorate degree? Haha. Well James clarifies that he will be receiving this degree in English, but… Are you ready for James Franco’s answer to Stephen Colbert’s question?

James said, “I would be a doctor of English, but I still might go back to General Hospital.”

I don’t know about you all, but this news is extremely exciting to me. James Franco was an amazing talent on General Hospital and it was such an honor for him to play on our beloved favorite soap. James is a man of many talents including acting, painting, directing, and teaching young minds as a professor at UCLA. What he brought to the table at General Hospital was pure, raw, talent which displayed a tremendous amount of mystery, drama, and excitement. As a fan og GH and James Franco, I feel we the fans would be blessed to be graced with his presence on our show again.

SHARE this post if you want James Franco to return to General Hospital.

General Hospital’s Teresa Castillo originated the role of Sabrina Santiago almost two years ago. Sabrina came to Port Charles in September of 2012 as a student in the nursing program at General Hospital. She has had a rough go at her time in PC with work, love, and life in general.

The Latest on Tony Geary as Luke Spencer and Fluke

General Hospital fans have been quite concerned with the status of legendary actor Tony Geary. Lately there has been news surrounding the personal health of Geary and what that means for his role as the iconic Luke Spencer on ABC’s General Hospital.

As General Hospital Blog has previously reported, Tony Geary underwent two back surgeries during his time off from General Hospital. Due to a long recovery time, and more extensive operation that initially expected, the last report noted that Luke/Fluke would be away from the canvas for the remainder of the Summer.

Fans are still wondering when we will all find out who Fluke really is, and with Geary being away from work, it has been confirmed that Tony Geary will not be reprising his role as Luke Spencer and/or Fluke until this coming October.

As far as any further news related to the return of Tony Geary to General Hospital and his characters Luke and Fluke back to Port Charles, nothing has been confirmed that would lead us to believe that Geary won’t be returning despite recent rumors. We will do our best to keep you informed on this news as we all hope and pray that Geary makes a speedy recovery and will be lighting up our screen very soon.

Please refer to our June 26th, 2014 article, Tony Geary Talks Fluke and Personal Health for the full story.
