The fate of the film industry was unclear just a few short months ago when the WGA went on strike this past May. Fast forward through Summer and the outlook seems brighter. Thankfully, conflict between the Writer’s Guild Association and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has been settled after nearly five months.
Reportedly, the WGA and AMPTP made a deal based on the tentative agreement that was reached. Still, the deal must await approval before the strike officially ends.
Details surrounding the film industry’s writer’s strike agreement have not yet been released. Technically, the WGA remains on strike but picketing ends. The strike is on until the negotiations committee votes. Until then, on whether to pass the agreement on to the WGAW Board and WGAE Council for approval. Evidently, negotiations were at a standstill over AI and staffing elements.
As for the actors, the SAG-AFTRA remains on strike and heads back to negotiate with AMPTP. So far, the WGA members will not return to work until their fellow actors reach an agreement as well. Check back for more updates regarding the final stages to end the strike.
I think that it’s safe to say that this is the moment everyone has been waiting for. As General Hospital fans, can you recall the last time that a storyline and/or character brought about an unanimous opinion?Honestly, has there ever been a time?
It’s not too often that a character and/or the storyline that goes along with the character is universally loved and cheered on. Yes, even Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) don’t hold that sort of fan base. But before anyone gets all up in arms and think that I don’t know that those two are the most popular GH, that’s not what I mean by universally loved.
The Moment We’ve All Been Waiting For- Sasha Plans Her Revenge
It’s true that more fans love Sonny and Jason than they don’t. But it’s about more than just being well-likes. That said, the Port Charles bad boys bring so many General Hospital fans together with their opinions. But, there are some fans who absolutely aren’t having anything to do with the mob. Which means; they’re aren’t interesting in Sonny and Jason whatsoever. So, you’re probably thinking that if Sonny and Jason don’t have a universal devotion from fans, then who the heck does?
According to GH spoilers, Sasha Gilmore doesn’t have a single enemy coming from GH fans. Of course, this is said with exaggeration, as I cannot possible know how every single fan seeks about Sasha (Sofia Gilmore). But I will say this, it takes a special kind of cold hearted snake to feel anything but compassion and motivation for Sasha to do well.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Sasha plans her revenge against Gladys now that she’s been rescued. The latest GH previews show that Sasha takes her life back. You can see her this week when she shows up as Gladys’s door! What’s Sasha have in store for her mother-in-law?
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.
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.
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!
There’s a phrase that I’ve kept close in my head and heart ever since hearing it. The line is written by a singer/songwriter/musician named Dallas Green. “The lonely life of a writer,” is a line from his band, City and Colour. Everything about those five words resonate in a way that non-writers may not normally understand. Evidently, expression through songwriting can be triggering. Just ask Ned. I mean Eddie, er, no, Ned. Man, I don’t know!
Around Port Charles, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) navigates through life as chaos finds her at every turn. From her job at Deception, to her relationship with Harrison Chase, BLQ has been busy. Additionally, she deals with her father’s identity crisis after he woke up as Eddie Maine.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors reveal that Eddie Maine has flashbacks as Ned! Recently, BLQ focuses on her career as a music manager. Amidst the daily drama, Brook Lynn stays true to her passion, music. While BLQ and her dad Ned butted heads about ELQ, she and Eddie work collaboratively as members of the music industry.
GH spoilers tease that Eddie’s songwriting process triggers Ned’s memories. But that’s not all. Since Eddie and BLQ double down to finish his song, she just might be there to witness a quick glimpse of her dad, Ned. According to recent GH rumors, Eddie Maine has flashbacks as Ned while he and Brook Lynn try to finish his song. Will he remember what he wanted to tell Drew before he fell?
I am big on music, especially lyrics. As a writer, it’s second nature for me to listen closely and analyze every line, down to each and every lyric. Because what’s created for, or heard in song has a unique way of guiding us through our journey. Have you ever heard a song or a certain part of it and was instantly brought back to a specific place and time in your mind? Well, music has some powerful attributes, including helping people in a coma find their way to consciousness. So why wouldn’t it trigger memories of another life? That is, if you have an alter ego! ????
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.
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?
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.
Not too long ago, Ava Jerome (Maura West) came to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for help. Luckily for her she happens to be the mother of Sonny’s daughter, Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola). Like all of Sonny’s baby mama’s, he respects and honors their position in his life, regardless of whether or not he’s still with them romantically.
When Sonny agreed to help Ava, that ultimately opened the door to a floodgate of various vulnerabilities. Now he finds himself in the middle of a mob situation. And just like old times, Port Charles mobster Sonny needs Carly (Laura Wright) by his side.
According to GH spoilers, Sonny has a major setback when Cyrus Renault’s plan takes effect. Naturally, Carly agreed to help Sonny, but under one condition. She said that she’d help just so long as harm wouldn’t come Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) way.
Now, Drew’s life hangs in the balance and Carly needs someone to blame. She falls for Cyrus’s trap, hook, line, and sinker. Because now that Carly blames Sonny for Drew’s attack, the strength of their bond weakens Sonny’s chances. Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) has Sonny right where he wants him.
The moment Sprina fans have been waiting for is also the moment that Tabyana Ali has been waiting for! The 21 year old General Hospital starstill has some “firsts” to encounter in her career. But now she can confirm that she’s checked another “first” off of her list of professional milestones.
According to the latest General Hospital spoilers, Spencer and Trina’s trip to Manhattan gets hot and heavy. It seems like forever since these two first laid eyes on each other. So, it’s about dang time that their relationship blossoms into what the fans have hoped for.
Tabyana Ali Shares Very First Love Scene
GH news reports reveal Tabyana Ali shares the details of her long-anticipated, upcoming love scene with Nicholas Alexander Chavez. 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.
Undoubtedly, ABC’s General Hospital has seen better years. Loss and grief have infiltrated their way into the close knit cast family. Sadly, the GH cast family has suffered much grief and loss. Last week, General Hospital icon, John J. York took to social media to make an important announcement. There, John bravely explained that he was diagnosed with two different forms of cancer, and provided an update on his health status.
