Anthony is our friend and a part of our television family, but, as difficult as this may be, we understand and respect that this is his choice. Rest assured, Tony has promised to be with us throughout the summer as we have some exciting things in store for Luke. The door will always remain open, so don’t think this is the last you’ll see of Anthony Geary or Luke Spencer.”

General Hospital Spoilers: Ric is Threatened by Hayden

So far, things seem to be going swimmingly for Ric Lansing. He set his plan in motion and it is accomplishing his goal for getting Elizabeth away from Jake (Jason Morgan). Although Ric is unaware that Jake Doe is actually Jason Morgan, he is still hell bent on keeping him out of Liz’s reach. Ric wants his chance at love with Elizabeth and he is doing everything in his power to make that happen.

Hayden has been pretending to be Jake’s long lost wife, as she was hired by Ric to do just that. Apparently, Hayden hasn’t been properly compensated for a job well done at this point in time, and she is out for payment. She makes a threat for Ric to pay up or else… would she dare spill Ric’s secret and blow the entire thing out of the water?

This week on General Hospital, things may start to unravel for Ric. Will he be able to keep Liz once she finds out he is behind this scam involving Hayden and Jake?

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Kirsten Storms Declares Friendship Love for Co-Star Kelly Monaco

Have you ever watched your favorite tv show, movie, or other similar-type production and thought to yourself that it would be so fun on set and behind the scenes? I know that I have definitely daydreamed about what it would be like to play on a show. Not only because and have that second “work family” that so many cherish.

Personally, I’ve observed that work environments can either make or break the entire vibe. Not only the company dynamic but the feoenlsihews and
.

can either make or break an experience while working for a particular company/employer. It seems only natural that friendships are born and developed while working in close quarters. Even still, the mere presence of together with those having similar . working together for such a long period of time would lead to the development of a truly real friendship. That is exactly the case with General Hospital beauties Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) and Kelly Monaco (Sam Morgan). The two petite starlets have been friends for quite a long time. True friendship, which includes Kelly Monaco thanking Kirsten’s mom for making her a hand crocheted scarf. These two ladies are inseparable and last night, Kirsten tweeted a photo of herself with bestie, Kelly Monaco.
Check out Kirsten’s description in her tweet.
Love these two! Check out Genie Francis in the background! Photobomb!

My ride or die. She knows me like no other friend does. I love you href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/daytimeemmys?src=hash”>#daytimeemmys… https://t.co/8MJoxPAzcL
