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!

General Hospital Casting News: Genie Francis Update

Genie Francis is one fan favorite among quite a few that have been set up for a return to General Hospital as part of the farewell to Anthony Geary. Laura Spencer is essential to Luke, as they have made history together for decades.

Jonathan Jackson will be returning to GH to reprise his role as Lucky Spencer this Summer, but it will not be for an extended amount of time. The actor is currently on the ABC primetime hit, Nashville, and will be working on episodes for the new season. Nathan Parsons will also be making a return to GH as Ethan Lovett, along with his mother Holly Sutton, played by Emma Samms. These returns are believed to be short lived, and will play a major role in Geary’s exit, as Luke Spencer makes his way out of Port Charles.

Good news is that Genie Francis will be sticking around General Hospital even after Anthony Geary leaves the canvas. General Hospital spoilers have revealed that Laura will be sticking around Port Charles for some unfinished business. Perhaps she will be there to set her son Nikolas straight, or if General Hospital rumors are true, she may have to come to Lulu’s resuce with yet another Cassadine catastrophe.

Luke and Laura’s Big Secret: Will Luke’s Sacrifice Save Lucky?

Laura just waltzed back into Port Charles, on a mission like there was no tomorrow. The fans are at opposite ends of the spectrum on this one, divided by Tracy and Laura. Luke and Tracy fans are outraged that Laura had the audacity to demand Luke’s attention, and that Luke actually took the bait. Laura fans are ecstatic to see her return and be with Luke. However, we know that the triangle between Luke, Laura, and Tracy is not so cut and dry, Luke has done some horrible things to Tracy, but he wouldn’t do this. Luke has a heart and Luke is in love with Tracy, especially after she stood by him when his like was unraveling at the seams.

Luke and Laura have a past and share children, and will always hold a special place in one another’s hearts. These two share a lot, even enemies. The Cassadines have been out to hurt the Spencer family for decades and nothing has changed.

It’s apparent though that these two are merely putting up a front, hiding something much bigger. Luke said what they did to Tracy had to be done, no matter the cost. The only thing that could make Luke hurt Tracy so deeply at this point in their lives is if his family was in danger. General Hospital spoilers have reported that Jonathan Jackson will be returning to General Hospital as part of Luke’s farewell, as Tony Geary retires from General Hospital.

Luke has sacrificed Tracy’s heart and their entire relationship for whatever Laura had to tell him in private. What could convince Luke to make this huge sacrifice? General Hospital spoilers and rumors have circulated that the reason behind Luke and Laura’s big secret is that Lucky is in extreme danger. A few years ago, Lucky left Port Charles after Siobhan died. leaving Liz alone with her children.

Luke and Laura have always been there for each other through every single adventure and every obstacle they have had to conquer. It makes total sense, that Laura has come back for Luke because she needs his help on this one last adventure. Judging from the worried looks on their faces, it may be accurate to assume that their son Lucky’s life is at stake. But why? How? And by whom? Is Helena at it again?

What is Dillon Quartermaine Doing in Port Charles? A Possible Threat to Michael?

There is a new/old Quartermaine in town. None other than the son of Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), Dillon. Originally played by Scott Clifton, Dillon Quartermaine will now be played by Robert Palmer Watkins.
Back in the day, Dillon was involved in a whole slew of things around Port Charles… including the late Georgie Jones (Lindsey Letherman), and Lulu Spencer Falconeri (Emme Rylan). Dillon will have a lot of connections to catch up with when he is settled back into PC.
What is Dillon’s reason for returning to Port Charles? A Quartermaine always has an agenda.

Could Michael’s world start to rapidly unravel? According to General Hospital rumors, soon, the residents of Port Charles should be finding out that baby Avery is not in fact Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) daughter, but the daughter of Ava (Maura West) and Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig). If this is true, Michael will almost inevitable lose custody, and instead of being a brother to Avery, he will then be an uncle. General Hospital rumors also speculate that Dillon is out for the family business. With Michael in charge of ELQ as of right now, Dillon just may be out to take it right from under Michael.
