It has been a long rode with many twists and turns when it comes to how far we all have come during this global pandemic. In the beginning, General Hospital fans were warned the show would run out of episodes to air while our country was on lockdown due to Covid-19. It was originally thought that the quarantine would last only about two weeks, halting film production in LA County, including Daytime TV studios, such as Prospect Studios, where General Hospital is filmed. One thing led to another and our country’s health status took an unexpected turn. TPTB over at ABC and General Hospital, made an executive decision to incorporate flashbacks into each remaining episode in order to draw out the air time of new material. The plan worked, and GH was able to air new episodes until May 22nd. Since then, GH fans have been able to enjoy many of their favorite eras on General Hospital as the repeats took us down memory lane.
Other networks such as CBS have already restarted film production, however, had to take a break to expand testing for Covid-19.
General Hospital news and spoilers have indicated they will soon be next to return to work and begin filming new episodes. Many of us have wondered whether or not time will continue on as if there hasn’t been a break. It’s hard to say if the writers at GH will flash forward at least three months, and catch up fans on the major story lines. One story in particular that has been talked about quite a bit involves the possible return of Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). In the event that the writers pick up timing where it was left off, General Hospital rumors hint there could be major GH news regarding Father’s Day.
General Hospital rumors claim that when new episodes begin again, Dominic Zamprogna will return to his role as Dante Falconeri.
In a previous article from General Hospital Blog, GH news and spoilers report that Zamprogna talked about a possible contract with GH, and bringing Dante home. In recent episodes, Dante’s mom, Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero), has been stressed out that she cannot her ahold of her son. Lulu Falconeri (Emme Rylan) is also struggling at times Dealing with how their son, Rocco, misses and needs his father.
Either way, if the lives of those living in Port Charles pick up where they left off, or if time hops a few months, General Hospital rumors and comings and goings suggest Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) will receive a heartwarming gift which comes at a delicate time for the Corinthos family, regarding what is going on with Sonny’s father, Mike Corbin (Max Gail). The universe works in mysterious ways and Sonny may finally see the silver lining in losing his father if in turn, his son, Dante, comes home to the family.
General Hospital News: GH’s Steve Burton Questions ABC’s Status On Returning To Work
For a while it seemed ABC Network was about to get the green light to resume film production. After the all clear was announced for June 12th, the news was soon retracted after a slight rise in the bomber of positive Covid-19 cases.
Since then, LA County has addressed guidelines and protocol for safely opening up film studios and getting people back to work. in recent Daytime TV news, CBS Network announced they have resumed film production after the long hiatus.
General Hospital news has not been released regarding a restart date for ABC, particularly, General Hospital. GH’s Steve Burton, aka, Jason Morgan, retweeted a tweet by Michael Fairman, regarding CBS resuming to film, and added the comment, “Are we next???”
It looks as though the cast and crew may be just as much in the dark as the GH fans. It’s uncertain why one network would be back to film production while another hasn’t given a status update on their plan to restart. GH Blog will keep fans up to date on the latest General Hospital news, spoilers, and rumors.

General Hospital Spoilers: Jason And Sam Face New Obstacles; Will It Tear Them Apart?
Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) have been to Hell and back, faced death, and have been reborn. But do JaSam have what it takes to stand the test of time?
Sam has always been a fighter since the beginning. The moment Jason knew Sam’s true strength was when watching her fight through the grief of losing her baby daughter, Lila. That is when the true connection between Jason and Sam began. There have been countless moments of love and admiration for one another, but not alongside devastation and sorrow. These two have made their way back to each other time and time again, and many fans believe there is no reason things should differ this time around.
Sam is having a tough go, as she has been ordered to stay away from her true love while she is on parole for a crime she never even committed. All while Jason is trying to be responsible and told Sam he cannot see her anymore, not now, not until the time is right. Sam has always put her love for Jason first, and it never mattered what the consequences were. Some fault her for that, saying she is selfish and impatient. Sam just fights for what she loves.
The way Sam sees it, Jason has rejected her. Although that has never been Jason’s intentions, Sam believes Jason has abandoned her but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
General Hospital spoilers hint to a rocky road ahead for this iconic couple. As the days of dragon slaying seem for away in the last for this Bonnie and Clyde type duo, Jason and Sam seem to be struggling with menial, mundane, drama that’s been dragging these two down.
Are they worth fighting for? Will Jason and Sam find their way back to one another?
General Hospital News: GH’s Nancy Lee Grahn Tells Fans, “GET OFF MY PAGE;” Is Nancy Polarizing The GH Fanbase?
General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn, has never been one to keep her opinions to herself- and she does not have to. Grahn has every freedom is the great USA to speak her mind, publicly. However, the rest us us also have that right. If Nancy is free to use her voice, it’s safe and fair to say that so is everyone else, I mean, right?!
As race relations heat up in our nation this Summer, some of us may get caught up in this polarizing situation. General Hospital news reveals GH’s Nancy Lee Grahn, who portrays Alexis Davis, is using social media to not only voice her opinions on current events which are political and racial in content, but to also shun others who do not share in her opinions.
In a recent tweet from Grahn, you can read what she typed to her followers, and most likely former followers and/or fans. Nancy uses name calling by tweeting that some of her fans who happen to like a show she is on are [bigot or racist. And just because she is in a show they like, that doesn’t mean she is connected with her fans].
This outburst isn’t the first during quarantine, and comes after she and co-star, Ingo Rademacher (Jasper ‘Jax’ Jacks), has it out on Twitter over politics, resulting is Nancy blocking Ingo from the social media outlet. You can check out that story, HERE.
Nancy seems to be participating in a great divide, polarizing not only the General Hospital fanbase who differ in political views, but aiding in the polarization of the people of our nation as a whole.
General Hospital Blog wants to spread positivity. We encourage all opinions to be shared without the need to suppress others just because they don’t share your own.

General Hospital Spoilers: Dev’s Connection To Port Charles Revealed; Will Brenda Barrett Return To Reunite With Someone?
Dev Cerci’s (Ashton Arbab) true background has remained a mystery since moving to Port Charles. Although the ever trusting, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), thinks nothing of Dev’s intentions, his right hand man, and very intuitive, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), thinks there may be more than meets the eye.
Genera Hospital rumors have claimed Dev to be the son of Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), Sonny’s ex, and Alec Janacek Jr. (Antonie Knoppers). Alec was son of The Balkan, whom is now deceased, but was an enemy of Sonny. Both men have died at the hand of someone connected to Sonny. Dev Cerci kept bringing up that he was from Turkey and how important his traditions were to be carried on. He and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) had a tender moment when discussing Dev’s heritage and traditions. Genera Hospital rumors hint that the geographic connection of Dev’s background makes perfect sense when claiming Dev is the Grandson of The Balkan.
Genera Hospital news and spoilers pointed out Maurice Benard’s take on having Vanessa Marcil return to the role of Brenda Barrett. In a recent article by GH Blog, it was revealed that Maurice thinks bringing Vanessa back is a “no brained.” That being said, as Dev’s character develops, and we learn more about his past, General Hospital rumors hint that Brenda will return to reunite with her son- Dev.
General Hospital News And Spoilers: William DeVry Tweets “Deleted” Ship Name For Julian And Liz- New Couple Alert?
New couple alert! General Hospital rumors hint toward an unexpected yet pleasant idea for a couple, Julian and Liz!
Julian Jerome (William DeVry) needs a love interest and fans out there think Julian and Liz Webber (Rebecca Herbst) would make a great fit. Apparently William DeVry, GH’s Julian Jerome, thinks so too. In a tweet directed at a fan, DeVry mentions that Julian and Liz have “the most epic ship name. But it’s R Rated.” DeVry doesn’t go on to elaborate- but a fan does.
Take a look at the tweet and replies here below.
Doesn’t DeVry know that couple “ship name” already has a history with General Hospital fans and dan wars? Here’s a little history lesson for those who may not know the back story… back in the day there used to be a much larger fan war between the Liz and Jason aka Liason fans, and Jason and Sam aka JaSam fans. The two fan bases battled it out over on the SoapNet Message Boards that night longer exist. The die hard Jason and Sam fans called the Liason fans, “Jizzers,” in a negative way to express their distaste for the couple.
Now that that’s all out in the open ?, we ask fans this, could you see Julian and Liz as a couple?
General Hospital News: GH’s Maurice Benard On Vanessa Marcil Returning As Brenda Barrett; Says It’s A ‘No-Brainer’
Before there was ever a Caroline Benson, aka Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) had a love that burned so hot it was inevitable that it would end in flames. Sonny and Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) had one of the most memorably passionate relationships in Daytime TV, Soap Opera history. Their love story was up and down, with highs and lows, and was centered around a time when the mob was even more prominent in Sonny’s life than it is now. Sonny and Brenda have been to Hell and back with one another.
One major storyline which sucks fans in and captivated the audience was when Brenda wore a wire. Sonny had never felt so betrayed, and their scenes were so intense, the talent just shined through.
Recently, Maurice Benard had an interview with Soaps In Depth. In the interview, Benard mentioned he would welcome co-star, Vanessa Marcil, back to General Hospital any time. Benard stated, “If I [had my say], she would have been back about five years ago. She brings ratings, and if you put two and two together, that’s four. So, if you bring her back, it’s a no-brainer.”
Considering Sonny’s current life with his wife, Carly, and their family, he reflected on another key component- Jasper “Jax” Jacks. He’s just another piece of history that fits. Maurice added, “You [brought] back Jax, then you got Brenda, and you got a whole cool thing going on.”
Months ago, General Hospital Blog reporter GH spoilers involving Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab) and the possibility of him having ties to a former enemy of Sonny’s, The Balkan. General Hospital rumors claim Dev will fit into a much larger story, as it’s possible he is the son of Brenda Barrett, and grandchild of The Balkan.
Maurice Benard’s opinion seems to weigh heavily on decision making regarding the show. Benard is smart, talented, has great insight, and knows the ins and outs of the production. There seems to be great potential for having Vanessa Marcil return to GH as Brenda Barrett.
General Hospital News: Film Production Has Major Setback, Will Not Resume As Expected
On Friday, June 5, California Governor, Gavin Newsom, and the California Public Health Department made an announcement regarding Music, TV and film production; that it may resume in California no sooner than Friday, June 12th. Although General Hospital fans had high hopes, it is unfortunate for cast, crew, and fans alike, that the restart will not include Los Angeles County filming, which includes the Daytime Soap Operas on all networks, which means our beloved, General Hospital, will not resume production on June 12th as hoped.
Due to recent health concerns, Los Angeles County is holding off on restarting film production.
“There has been a slight increase over the last three days in the number of people hospitalized,” said Los Angeles County Public Health Director, Barbara Ferrer.
Even with guidelines for safely returning to wrk being met, there is no information on the time frame it will take to get back into the swing of things in LA County. We will keep you posted on any new developments.
