Lindsay Hartley has stepped into the role of the feisty fighter, Sam McCall as a temporary recast. Though Lindsay’s portrayal of Sam won’t be long term, GH fans have already opened their hearts to the actress and are embracing her work.
General Hospital rumors hint fans would love to see Hartley snag a new role on General Hospital. The possibility of a new role being created for Hartley has not yet been confirmed or reported as GH news.

Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) is using a burner phone that cannot be tracked to contact someone who’s identity is being kept under wraps.
Genera Hospital spoilers and rumors have hinted that Marcus Taggert (Real Andrews) is actually still alive and that his death was faked to let Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) believe he was ahead of the PCPD in this turf war. If Taggert’s death was staged, he and Jordan could be working together in order to blindside Cyrus and take down his organization for good.
Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor) happened to be at the right place at the right time when Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his family were targeted by Cyrus. Coincidence? Mostly likely not. Brand didn’t just happen to be right there at that exact time when the explosion blasted, putting Sonny’s loved ones in harms way. Although Brando was there to help save the day. Sam McCall (Lindsay Hartley, Kelly Monaco) called out Brando on all his coincidental mishaps surrounding her family, including what has happened to Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).
One of these men could be working with Jordan to take down Cyrus. Which is it? Is Brando on the right side of the law and a traitor to Sonny either way? Or is he truly just out to get Cyrus while protecting his Corinthos family? Or is Taggert really alive? Jordan and Taggert were partners before the attack. Did they plan this all along? Will Trina get her father back when all is revealed?

Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) have come a long way. It’s no secret that their individual love for Jason fueled their reciprocal disdain for each other. Today, the two women have come to an understanding as both Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) bff (Carly) and the love of his life (Sam). Sam and Carly developed mutual respect over the years, but in 2011 that wasn’t the case. Instead, insults and cat fights were the norm.
Historically, Sam resented Carly for who she was to Jason, while Carly took advantage of her’s and Jason’s relationship. And many times she called upon him even before she reached out to Sonny. GH recaps recall that Jason was rushed to the hospital after he left Sam to go with Carly. Because of this, Sam blamed Carly for what happened to Jason. That’s when their argument turned physical. According General Hospital history, reports confirm that Sam slaps Carly on August 9th, 2011. Reportedly, the epic b!tch slap happened right in the middle of GH, bear the nurses station.

Molly and TJ were the idea of a story book romance and were supposed to spend their lives together until Molly shot down TJ’s hopes and dreams of marriage. Things are complicated to say the list but the rest remains to be seen.
Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sam have seen better days than recently. After being shit out by Jason during her parole, he now dropped another bomb, telling Sam he chose Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) as his next of kin. Sam isn’t happy. She’s hurt and sometimes when she’s hurt she can make impulsive decisions.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors claim Sam and Brando will hookup, causing trouble between two sisters, and of course, the aftermath of it all when she realizes what she has done while she’s in love with Jason. If Jason ever found out, Brando would need to constantly watch his back! And Molly, she may have real feelings for Brando. If so, could she ever forgive her sister?

Furthermore, Nelle flipped out in front of the judge, adding insult to injury. This further displayed her instability. As of now, Nelle is toast. Stick a fork in her because she is done. However, things aren’t always as they seem.
General Hospital spoilers indicate there is much more story to be told. In regard to Nelle getting Wiley, and Nina finding her daughter, the story has another twist. According to recent General Hospital rumors, Nelle will use Nina’s heart shaped pendant to manipulate Nina and convince her they are mother and daughter.
