Shocking casting news has just hit the media. Long time soap actress Kristen Alderson joined the cast of General Hospital after One Life to Live was cancelled. Alderson played the iconic role of Starr Manning on OLTL until the ABC daytime drama met its demise. When she joined the cast at GH, she reprised the told of Starr, but because of legal issues with Proslect Park, the executives at GH were forced to change the character’s name. She became Kiki Jerome, daughter of Silas Clay (Michael Easton, ex- John McBain OLTL) and Ava Jerome (Maura West). She also co-starred with OLTL TV father Todd Manning played by Roger Howarth.
Soap Opera Digest has reported that Kristen Alderson will be wrapping up her role as Kiki Jerome very soon. the reason for Alderson’s departure has not yet been revealed. General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on any information regarding this shocking GH casting shake up.
This past year has been the year for new characters coming and going from General Hospital. POrt Charles has been like Grand Central Station with all the old characters popping in and out of town, along with new faces to familiarize with. Lately it seems that every time we get used to seeing a new face, they disappear.
In 2014 we were introduced to Robb Derringer’s portrayal of Agent Kyle Sloan. He really has it out for Anna Devane, even still after they shared a dance on New Years Eve.
Sources report that Robb Derringer was let go by the executives at GH and the role of Agent Kyle Sloan has been recast. The role will now be played by aAs the World Turns alum, Grayson McCouch.
In the last year or so, the executives at GH have been known for bringing back fan favorites and vet characters. With all of the WSB and Frisco Jones talk that went on last week, could the writers be giving the audience a hint? Last week when Maxie was in her air plane dilemma, she reached out to her father, Frisco Jones to come to her aid and get her home to Nathan before the new year. Also last week, Agent Sloan brought up the fact that Frisco was now the head of the WSB to Anna Devane.
If Jack Wagner does return to his role as Frisco Jones, there are many possible story lines he could tie into. For one, his daughter Maxie will always hold a special place in her heart for her father, also he has many long time friends and colleagues that could be part of a Frisco story line. Since he is now head of the WSB, there is potential there as well with the involvement in the entire Fluke, Jerry Jacks, Helena Cassadine saga, since Victor Cassadine and Anna Devane have been linked to the WSB for many years.
Many times, name dropping like this is a way for the writers to hint that a certain character may be on their way back to Port Charles… but not always. Jack Wagner (Frisco Jones) was most recently part of General Hospital during the 2013 Nurses Ball. When the character was written off, fans had expressed opinions that implied their favorite character had been written out of character this go around. Jack Wagner himself had trouble with the direction the writers had taken Frisco and it was no secret that Wagner left the show on rocky terms with the executives. That being said, are the General Hospital rumors about Frisco returning true, or is it pretty unlikely to see Wagner back in the role of Frisco Jones? Perhaps fences have been mended between the actor and TPTB over at General Hospital. General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated with any information confirming or denying this GH rumor.
What do you think? Would you like to see Frisco return to Port Charles to possibly redeem his character from his most recent visit? Comment below!
Social media ran wild today as Kelly Thiebaud aired her last episode as Dr. Britt(a) Westbourne, aka The Britch. Daughter of iconic villain, Cesar Faison, and the eccentric Dr. Liesl Obrecht, Britta was one of a kind. A coniving little Britch but with a soft heart when it came to a certain few. The ones that truly brought out the good in her were Nikolas Cassadine, his son Spencer, and we got to see that she could actually be nice to someone when she was with her pal, Brad. Britt did a lot of damage around PC including meddling in and disrupting the lives of Patrick Drake, his wife Robin, daughter Emma, and her fellow co worker, Sabrina Santiago.
Today on General Hospital, Britta left Port Charles with her father, Cesar Faison. Dr. O stayed behind to look after her son and Britt’s brother, Nathan West.
After the airing of her last performance on General Hospital, Kelly Thiebaud sent out a heartfelt message to fans via Twitter and Instagram. Check out what she has to say to all her fans.
Back in early November, it was confirmed that Kelly Thiebaud will be off of her contract with ABC’s General Hospital. The actress has gone from contract to recurring status with the 51 year old daytime drama. More recently, there has been rumors that Kelly’s character, Dr. Britt Westbourne will be leaving the canvas altogether.
From the looks of the onscreen evidence, it seems to be that the General Hospital rumors regarding Britt’s departure from Port Charles is actually true. Britt is leaving town with her father, Cesar Faison, after Nikolas found out about her scheme with Spencer to get back into Nikolas’ heart. Helena was helping Dr. Obrecht and Faison out of town, and Obrecht was bringing Britta along with her. But when Nathan got shot, Dr. O decided to stay to keep watch over her precious son.
Keep checking back with GH Blog for more info regarding comings and goings and the status of your favorite GH actors.

Sonny has already run into Carlos and Johnny (Brandon Barash) during his “stay” in the slammer. Now that “the mighty have fallen” Sonny will be facing some real danger in prison. Sonny and Johnny Zacchara have always been arch enemies. The Corinthos and Zacchara families have been at war for many years, but with Johnny getting his own (grand)father, Anthony Zacchara out of Sonny’s way, maybe this will be an opportunity for Sonny and Johnny to face prison together, on the same side… or maybe not.

General Hospital newcomer, Billy Miller explains his plans for the character of Jason Morgan. Billy Miller had some extremely large shoes to fill by taking on this role after Steve Burton created the Jason Morgan persona for over 20 years. Fans have survived many recasts of their favorite beloved characters throughout the years. The soap industry is known for their ins and outs, and the potential of characters being recast. This is nothing new, yet the news of Steve Burton leaving General Hospital to go to The Young and the Restless hit fans harder than any other recast in General Hospital history. The recast process seemed to take forever, and the powers that be did a fantastic job of throwing everyone off. With the on again off again rumors of Billy Miller replacing Steve Burton, fans were kept in the dark on if and when this big change was going to happen. When the news was finally confirmed, it stirred up all sorts of mixed emotions among the fan bases. Die hard Steve Burton fans were angry, Billy Miller fans were ecstatic that they would be able to see their favorite actor on screen again, and many people just wanted to give Billy a chance and then make a decision on whether or not he could be the new Jason Morgan.
Billy Miller is a hit with the fans. He is living up to the legend of Jason Morgan and his chemistry with Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber) is undeniable. Obviously, any recast is going to have minor and major differences from the previous actor who played the part. It is important to realize that in these situations, we will never get an exact replica. It’s important to welcome these changes with open arms, and appreciate the work that the actor is doing in order to entertain the fans. Billy Miller discusses the differences he is creating in this new Jason, aka Jake. In a recent interview, Miller said, “It would be ridiculous for me to mimic (the way Burton played him).” Miller states that this new Jason is a bit brighter, he smiles more, and throws in jokes to lighten the mood. He continued to explain, “It’s more fun in this genre whenever you can add some lightness to it or make it funny. You don’t get a lot of room for that so I usually look for it. It’s a scary position for this guy who is so lost and doesn’t know who he is, so you match that with a little bit of humor.”
Billy Miller is looking forward to when Jason finally comes in contact with his past. His past that includes his old lifestyle. His job. Miller looks forward to working with legends such as Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), Roger Howarth (Franco), and Tony Geary (Luke Spencer). In regard to working with Geary, Miller says, “I can’t wait for that acting class.”
Tell us how you think Billy Miller is doing in his role as Jason Morgan! Are you happy to have Jason back, or would you rather Steve or nothing? Let us know your thoughts by commenting below.
It has been about 6 whole months since the residents of Port Charles have seen Lucas Lorenzo Spencer. It’s been a long time coming for General Hospital characters and the real life fans of Luke and Tony Geary. Last week, General Hospital cast and crew shared photos on social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram which displayed a celebration of Tony Geary’s return to the set of GH.
The story of what happened to the real Luke and who has been pretending to be him is about to unfold. After months of suspense, we are finally about to go down that road and take the journey into discovering who Fluke really is.
Are you ready for today’s episode of General Hospital? We have reason to believe that it’s going to be one you won’t want to miss! Get ready for the return of Luke Spencer on today’s episode of General Hospital!
SHARE this post to welcome Tony Geary and Luke Spencer back to General Hospital!
