Did Sonny Save Everyone Except Himself?

February Sweeps has brought some extreme stories to General Hospital. The residents of Port Charles have been faced with a multitude of danger, all by the hands of Helena Cassadine. Helena has always been a feared villain in Port Charles, having a tight grip on the weakness of those she preys on. The Cassadine/Spencer family feud has been going on for decades, and this time Helena’s target is as direct as it gets. She has taken control of the head of the Spencer family, Luke.

Helena has put Luke in the position of hurting those he loves in Port Charles, along with controlling Jason Morgan with mind conditioning to do the same. As a result, their lives are at stake. After piecing some theories together, Julian Jerome and Sonny Corinthos joined forces and decided to break out of Pentonville for the sake of saving their sons. Fluke gave Sonny a warning that Michael and Lucas would be targeted in his evil scheme. Well Sonny does nothing better than protecting the ones he loves and at that moment he knew he had to act fast.

Now that Sonny took the bomb and all the people who were in attendance at The Haunted Star are safe, Sonny’s status of survival is uncertain. Saving everyone just may have made his son Michael realize that there is still good in Sonny, and that he truly does love him. Will it be too late for Sonny and Michael to reconcile?

In a recent report regarding the status of Maurice Benard’s contract with General Hospital, General Hospital spoilers revealed that Maurice stated he isn’t going anywhere and he will be staying at GH for another year. He signed another contract with the show, guaranteeing that Sonny stay with us.

Although today’s episode of GH with Sonny taking the bomb, and not knowing if he got away in time is undeniably mystifying and dramatic, it’s most likely just to keep the audience on their toes. There is no news of Maurice leaving his role as Sonny, therefore it’s highly unlikely that Sonny will die in this February Sweeps story.

What do you all think? Is Sonny going to die after saving everyone at The Haunted Star?

Who Dies in This Year’s GH February Sweeps?

Yesterday’s episode of General Hospital had enough action packed excitement for an entire year of Port Charles shenanigans. The residents of PC have been through the ringer, and just as we the audience, and the characters unravel the Fluke mystery, someone might not suriveve.

Between two explosions, a shootout, and an LSD injection, it’s safe to say that someone may not walk out of this mess alive. Ava Jerome was shot by Carlos Rivera, then Sonny tried to save her from slipping as she held on for dear life. Did Ava fall to her death? General Hospital comings and goings have no confirmation of actress Maura West leaving General Hospital. Ava fans are hoping that she survived somehow… anything is possible in soap world.

Johnny Zacchara was also caught in the crossfire. He was shot in the chest, and although it is alive at this point, General Hospital spoilers revealed that actor Brandon Barash has not signed a contract with General Hospital, and that his return was only temporary. Sources are uncertain whether or not his next departure from the show will be a write off, or if his character will be killed in this year’s February Sweeps.

Dante is receiving medical treatment at GH due to injuries inflicted upon him by Fluke. Before making his discovery in the basement of the old Spencer home, Fake Luke or shall we say, real Luke under Helena’s mind control, knocked Dante out several times and locked him downstairs with a rotting corpse. Friend and Detective Nathan West came to Dante’s rescue just seconds before the bomb placed by Fluke ended both of their lives.

With other projects underway, Roger Howarth has been rumored to be leaving GH. Do you think that was a lethal does of LSD he took for Nina?

Keep watching General Hospital to find out if one of your favorite characters will die this February.

Y&R WON’T Make Deal With Tristan Rogers

Last week General Hospital Blog posted regarding the possibility of a Robert Scorpio return. Although Actor Tristan Rogers is currently under contract with The Young and the Restless, it was believed the the executives over at the CBS soap would allow Tristan to co over to General Hospital from time to time.

Tristan Rogers (Colin Atkinson Y&R) hoped that his current contract would still allow him to make cameo appearances as Robert Scorpio on GH. Since Y&R star Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott) was allowed to film on Days of Our Lives during her contract, Rogers was under the impression that he would be allowed to do the same.

For now, the decision has been made. Tristan Rogers is under contract with CBS’ The Young and the Restless, and is not allowed to make any appearances on ABC’s General Hospital, as the legendary Robert Scorpio.

How do you feel about this decision from the executives at Y&R?

Do you think Tristan will jump shit and head over to GH after his contract is up with Y&R? Let us know by leaving your comments in the comment section.

Ted King Ready to Return to General Hospital

Lorenzo Alcazar helped Carly deliver baby Morgan when she went into labor. But he wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. He was bad. Very bad. His twin brother, Luis was even worse. In 2002 Luis Alcazar came to Port Charles with one main goal, to be responsible for the demise of Sonny Corinthos.

Luis Alcazar has a laundry list of criminal offenses which include but aren’t limited to the following: Keeping the beautiful Brenda Barrett captive for about 4 years, convincing her that she was mentally ill. All the while he was drugging her. He caused the death of Alexis’ sister Kristina by blowing up Sonny’s house. Alcazar also tried to kill Zander Smith when he threw him overboard… There are many more heinous crimes where those came from which ultimately led to his death. Alexis killed Luis in self defense by pushing him off a balcony.

In 2003, Ted King returned to GH as Luis’ brother, Lorenzo Alcazar. He played this role until 2007 and left quite a mark throughout his time in Port Charles. Lorenzo was a lot like his brother when it came to his reason to be in Port Charles. He wanted to take Sonny down and would stop at nothing until that happened. Lorenzo was responsible for kidnapping Sonny, sleeping with Carly, kidnapped Spinelli and Lulu and ordered a hit on them, kidnapped Sonny’s sister, Courtney, and the list goes on…

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Ted King tells sources that he is ready to return to General Hospital. After accepting a role on One Life to Live as Tea Delgado’s brother, Tomas, the show was prematurely canceled and Ted King was out of a job. On coming back to GH as Alcazar, King tells a source, “There’s a lot to work out logistically. They teased the audience about a year ago with bringing him on, but that’s up to Head Writer, Ron Carlivati and Executive Producer, Frank Valentini. I certainly know that those guys are creative enough to figure it out.”

Could Lorenzo come back to Port Charles after being shot and killed by Sonny’s hit-man Jason Morgan in 2007? Stranger things have happened in this town. Would you like to see Ted King return to General Hospital, bringing his character Lorenzo Alcazar back to Port Charles? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!

Kiki Jerome Recast

General Hospital News…

As fans come to terms with the fact that Kristen Alderson has decided to leave General Hospital, it was inevitable that the role of Kiki Jerome would have to be recast. Kiki is too involved in current story lines to just have the character killed off the show or move away. Also, Kristen Alderson has already taped her final episode, which would leave no time to develop a story for the character’s demise.

TPTB moved quite quickly in hiring the new actress to play Kiki Jerome. The Young and the Restless star (Abby, 2008-2010), Hayley Erin will take on the role and step into Kristen Alderson’s shoes.

General Hospital Blog sends well wishes to Kristen in her life’s new direction! Kristen as been part of the ABC Network since she was 6 years old. Her role as Starr Manning on ABC’s One Life to Live has left a lasting impression with soap fans everywhere. We also welcome Hayley with open arms to the GH family.

What are your thoughts regarding this recast?

Tristan Rogers Entertains the Idea of Returning to General Hospital

This past year, ABC’s General Hospital and CBS’ The Young and the Restless seem to be having fun playing a good game of actor swap. From Maura West to Steve Burton, 2014 was full of exchanging stars from one soap to the other.

Tristan Rogers is yet another daytime star that has bounced from Y&R to GH from time to time. Although the actor, and GH legendary character Robert Scorpio is currently away from GH as he plays Colin on Y&R, there is hope that he will be able to work out a deal that allows him to take part in both daytime dramas. Rogers just signed on with The Young and the Restless for another year, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he cannot appear on General Hospital as Robert Scorpio.

Rogers expressed via Twitter that the issue regarding being able to appear on GH while still under contract with Y&R has yet to be resolved. That being said, it is highly possible that the two networks are ironing out an agreement to let Tristan Rogers return to General Hospital while he is also playing Colin on Y&R.

Rogers’ character, Robert Scorpio would fit perfectly into current story lines over in Port Charles. The identity of Fluke is about to be revealed, which Luke and Robert have a long history with each other. Also, Robin, Robert’s daughter, is still being held by Helena Cassadine. General Hospital rumors have indicated the return of Robin Scorpio in the near future. What better timing for dear old dad to return as well, right?

Let us know if you’d be excited to see Tristan Rogers reprise his role as Robert Scorpio on General Hospital. Comment below!
