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?

Will Trina get her father back when all is revealed?
So many questions! Make sure to watch General Hospital and keep up here with GH Blog!
Sam McCall (Lindsay Hartley, Kelly Monaco) found herself in an impossible predicament involving the terms of her parole and being allowed to see Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) in the hospital. Felix DuBois (Marc Anthony Samuel) warned Sam that her parole officer was talking to Epiphany Johnson (Sonya Eddy) about seeing Jason. They were trying to stall but Sam was running out of time.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Sam goes to desperate measures to ensure she will be able to be by Jason’s side as he remains in a coma after the accident. She put a call into Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) to further discuss his proposal. Valentin offered Sam immunity from her parole in exchange for Danny and Scout’s shares of ELQ. If Valentin gets his hands on this shares, Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth) would basically have to say goodbye to control over ELQ.
General Hospital spoilers indicate Sam agrees verbally to Valentin’s deal however he isn’t satisfied without Sam signing an official document.
Will Sam’s agreement with Valentin be the one end of the Quartermaine legacy?
Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) is trying to take down mobster, and known drug trafficker, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Cyrus has already succeeded in taking out Jordan’s former colleagues who were working undercover with Jordan in a previous case against Cyrus. Cyrus wants revenge.
Last year, Detective Marcus Taggert (Real Andrews) died a hero while trying to help his daughter, Trina Robinson (Sydney Makayla) and her friends, Joss Jacks (Eden McCoy), Cam Webber (William Lipton), and Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab) in an attack on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jordan’s family put out by Renault.
Since Andrews left GH, clues may have been dropped regarding whether or not Taggert was actually alive. GH rumors suggest Taggert’s death was staged so that Jordan and Taggert could work together as a team, having Taggert behind the scenes, to get a head of Cyrus and take him down.
Jordan contacts someone on a burner phone to discuss current matters. Could Jordan have been reaching out to Taggert this whole time?
Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) has managed to convince Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) to Hans over her shares of ELQ in exchange for Valentin’s promise to boost Brook Lynn’s music career. I’m return she must agree to keep the deal quiet from her father, Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth), and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
General Hospital spoilers reveal Ned is absolutely furious despite his conversation with Brook Lynn about wishing someone would just take over the family company.
GH news and spoilers hint that Valentin Cassadine is making progress in his quest to acquire control of ELQ as Ned tries to stand in his way. It seems like most of the control over ELQ will be in the hands of Valentin as Ned may not even have a say in what happens to the company after Brook Lynn gave her shares to Valentin right from under her father’s nose.
Is there a way for ELQ to be saved and stay under Quartermaine control?
General Hospital is all new and on fire this week as the custody hearing for baby Wiley is coming to a close. Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) has pulled out all the stops and used every trick under her sleeve to try and get a leg up on her ex, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and his wife, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen).
General Hospital spoilers reveal the verdict is in this week! It looks like judgement day is here and soon Nelle and Michael will know who will be granted full custody of heir son, Wiley. Michael and Willow hope to have shown the judge they have a loving and stable family environment for Wiley while Nelle displayed her true colors for the entire courtroom.
Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) has a promising career at Deception Cosmetics, but her life choices may hold her back from succeeding as the new, “Face of Deception.”
Ever since Sasha’s breakup with Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), Sasha is having a hard time adjusting to everyday life. She’s emotionally and mentally exhausted, and when given the chance to enhance her behavior and career, she accepted an offer that will take her on a downward spiral. Sasha started using drugs to keep herself more awake and alert for her modeling photo shoots.
General Hospital spoilers indicate this is only the beginning for Sasha as she continues making poor choices.
General Hospital spoilers reveal the town villain, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) is trafficking drugs through Port Charles. Renault is dangerous and powerful, and not the type of man you’d want to own any debts or get involved with whatsoever. But GH rumors claim that Cyrus and Sasha’s paths will cross, most likely involving her brewing drug addiction that Renault would be happy to feed. Will Sasha get so hooked on drugs that she becomes depended on Cyrus as the hand that feeds her?
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. GH news indicates that the episode was so popular “Go Sam” trended on Twitter.
In this GH episode from 8-9-11, Jason Morgan was rushed to GH and is unconscious… nine years later, history repeats itself. Check out the scene below.
Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) has unsettling feeling about the news he received about Holly Sutton (Emma Samms). Robert finally admitted to Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) that he believes Holly is still alive. Anna shot down Robert’s speculation and seemed angry and irritated that he can’t accept the fact that she’s gone.
Anna has been off her game lately when it comes to using her instincts and knowledge. Anna is letting her “son” Peter August (Wes Ramsey) pull the wool over her eyes as he goes around Port Charles betraying people, lying, and committing serious crimes.
General Hospital spoilers indicate Robert is honing in on Peter, getting extremely close to the truth about many of his lies. GH rumors suggest if Robert finds Holly alive, odds are Drew Cain (Billy Miller) won’t be too far away. Peter August is involved in both of these tragic “losses” as Drew is presumed dead after his plane went down, but his body wasn’t found. Robert received a call from someone claiming Holly has died- and the thing these two things have in common is Peter and his entanglement with the people of Port Charles.
Robert is smart and he is following his instincts when it comes to Holly. He is also trusting his instincts and intelligence when it comes to knowing Peter is a fraud. GH rumors hint Robert will not stop until he proves Holly is alive- and will he find Drew Cain too as a result of his persistence?
