Big changes are about to happen behind the scenes at General Hospital. As we learned last week, General Hospital’s Head Writer, Ron Carlivati has been let go after 4 years at GH. He has been replaced by two co-writers, Jean Passanante, and Shelly Altman.
Ron Carlivati broke his silence after the GH news was announced regarding his status with the show. Carlivati reached out to his colleagues and fans via social media, using Twitter as a way to let the audience know there aren’t any ill feelings.
GH cast members returned the gratitude in tweets that thanked Ron for what he has done in the last 4 years.
Take a look at the Twitter exchanges below.
Thanks to everyone @GeneralHospital for 4 wonderful years. And thanks to the #GH fans for all your love & support. It means the world to me.
Thank you @carlivatiron for your words- filled with heart and laughter ? ?? thank you for your hard work and enthusiasm XOXO!! — Laura Wright (@lldubs) July 24, 2015
@TheRealStafford Thanks, Michelle. It was an honor to write for you. xoxo
General Hospital Blog would like to congratulate General Hospital’s Teresa Castillo, (Sabrina Santiago) on the announcement of her second pregnancy. Castillo gave birth to baby girl, Victoria, what seems to be not too long ago.
Teresa announced the news via social media, explaining that her daughter will be getting a little brother.
We are uncertain whether or not this pregnancy will be written into the GH script. If fans recall, when Teresa was pregnancy with her first child, Sabrina was also pregnant with Patrick Drake’s baby, that they ended up losing because they were in a car accident, caused by Rafe, on Victor Cassadine’s orders.
Share this post and help us say congratulations to Teresa Castillo and her family.
Check out the Instagram announcement below!
It’s not unlike the soap world to SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Age Syndrome) the little ones on the show from time to time. We haven’t seen much of the kids of Port Charles lately, including the fan favorite, Spencer Cassadine.
Today, in a comment via Twitter, the actor, Nicolas Bechtel tweeted “When one door closes another one opens.”
It’s uncertain whether or not the young actor was speaking of himself as in working at GH, another aspect of his life, or regarding something else entirely. Some fans have expressed that Nicolas may have tweeted that regarding the recent General Hospital news about Head Writer, Ron Carlivati being replaced.
It seems unlikely that there would be a need to write Spencer Cassadine off the show, or age him drastically enough to have to change the actor who plays the part. We sure hope that Nicolas was referring to another situation, and not his current status with General Hospital.
Let us know what you think. Do you think they are aging Spencer Cassadine and are ready to recast the role?

The entire month of July, the ABC Network and GH have paid tribute to Tony Geary by putting together many video compilations of his work on General Hospital. There have been countless interviews with Tony, discussing his work and his life on the set of General Hospital over the past 37 years. Tony’s co-stars, friends, and loved ones have expressed their feelings toward the experiences they have had with Tony, what he means to them, and how much he will be missed.
Saying goodbye to Luke Spencer won’t be easy, but on today’s episode of General Hospital, we will see Tony play Lucas Lorenzo Spencer for the very last time.
Tony Geary has made such an amazing mark in the world of not just Daytime Drama, but as an iconic figure for many, making himself a household name to many adoring fans.
His work and time on General Hospital will never be forgotten, but will be celebrated.
Help us remember the best moments Tony Geary gave us as Luke Spencer by sharing your most memorable moments of this iconic character.
General Hospital Blog wishes Tony the absolute best. He will be greatly missed and always remembered.
Rumors have been spreading like wild fire in the last week regarding General Hospital’s Head Writer, Ron Carlivati. The last few weeks, GH ratings have been low, but in the most recent week, ratings again began to rise. It truly is a roller coaster, the way these ratings go out of control. You know what they say, “you can’t please them all.” That’s quite accurate when it comes to General Hospital fans. No matter what is going on on the forefront, there will always be a group of fans who would rather complain and moan and groan, than to support the show that they choose to love. That being said, all the latest talk about the writing on GH brought about rumors that Carlivati was about to be let go.
General Hospital spoilers reveal breaking news, that in fact GH Head Writer, Ron Calivati has been let go and will be replace by two co-headwriters, Shelley Altman and Jean Passanante. According to Soaps in Depth, these changes will take place August 10th, 2015.
Here are some words from the executives: “We are pleased to welcome back two esteemed writers to our GH family,” said Vicki Dummer, Executive VP current series programming, regarding the announcement. “Shelley and Jean’s combined talents and experiences promise to continue the show’s legacy of compelling storytelling that will resonate with our impassioned viewers. We’re delighted with what they have in store for the show as they continue honoring the rich, diverse environs of Port Charles.”
GH social media, including Twitter, Facebook, fan groups, etc., will be buzzing after the confirmation of Carlivati’s exit. Please share this post in hope that we spread the truth, and facts, and less of the rumors and hearsay.
July 27th marks the final day Tony Geary will appear as Luke Spencer on ABC’s 52 year old drama, General Hospital. Co-stars and fans alike are preparing to say their goodbyes to the legendary actor as he moves on in a new direction with his life after 37 years. Tony is moving to Amsterdam full time. We wish Tony the best in everything he does now, and in his future.
Dancing with the Stars is one of the most talked about and watched show on television. A few of our very own General Hospital stars have made their way to the ballroom, showing fans what they are made of, outside of the set of General Hospital.
Kelly Monaco (Samantha Morgan) was the first every DWTS Champion, and the first of our GH cast members to have competed on the show. Ingo Rademacher (Jasper Jacks/Jax) and Antonio Sabato Jr. (Jagger Cates) also were contestants on ABC’s DWTS.
After posts on Instagram from GH alum, Vanessa Marcil (Brenda Barrett), General Hospital rumors started flying, claiming that she will be on the next season of DWTS. Marcil posted a photo of professional dancer, Maksim Chmerkovskiy with a mystery woman, captioned, “uh oh who’s this?” She also posted a photo of herself and Maksim, together, with her face visible.
Is Vanessa trying to give fans a hint? Will she be the next General Hospital star to hit the ballroom? General Hospital Blog will keep you updated on the status of Vanessa and Dancing with the Stars.
We are quickly approaching Tony Geary’s last day on General Hospital. July 27th will be here before we all know it. There has been a multitude of tributes, honoring the work of Tony Geary for his role as Luke Spencer for 37 years. Check out this video compilation of Luke Spencer’s memorable moments throughout the years and what the cast and crew says about him in just one word.

Watch this to find out what Luke means to our #GH cast and crew, then share your one-word memory to say #FarewellTony
General Hospital’s Legendary Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) and the Dark Queen Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers)
The time has come for Luke Spencer’s Emotional Farewell. We only have about two weeks left until the alluring Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) leaves Port Charles forever. This past week, Tony Geary and his co-stars have outdone themselves in these moving farewell scenes for Luke.
General Hospital Recaps: emotions run high with every touching encounter between Luke and his family. Despite having the biggest case of wanderlust, Luke Spencer is very close with his children and other family and friends. His departure will not be easy for anyone, especially his immediate family. So far, Geary’s farewell scenes with Jonathan Jackson (Lucky), Nathan Parsons (Ethan), Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth), and Constance Towers (Helena), have been absolutely evocative.
Coming up on General Hospital, there is more to come in these emotion-filled, next two weeks! Which scenes have been your favorite thus far? Who tugged at your heart strings the most
It all makes perfect sense really. It was nothing the General Hospital writing team had planned on doing, but to them, and now to the fans, it completely makes sense in regard to Luke Spencer’s (Tony Geary) exit story. However, the lasting impact on resurrecting Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Jason Morgan’s (Billy Miler) son, Jake, will have a lasting impact on the people of Port Charles as a whole.
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, General Hospital Head Writer, Ron Carlivati explains why they decided to bring little Jake back from the dead. He said, “It really was not something we were planning to do.”
Luke Spencer’s exist story had to be one for the books. Since Luke was the one who actually hit little Jake and caused his “death,” the writing team felt this was the perfect way to make Luke and Laura’s (Genie Francis) adventure to be as memorable as possible, while also leaving a great story for the rest of the town, even after Luke leaves the canvas.With all that is going on with Sam and Jason, Elizabeth and Jason (Jake), and Liz and Nikolas, having Jake be alive will stir the pot for many story lines.
For all the fans that have questioned little Jake’s organ donation, Carlivati explains, “We had to pull out a bag of tricks, and go to our go-to person, Helena Cassadine, for help, and made it work.”
So what does this mean for Elizabeth and Jake Doe? Sam and Jake (Jason)?…
Elizabeth is still hiding Jake’s true identity from him. Knowing that he is actually Jason Morgan, Liz is depriving the man she claims to love of his real wife, Sam (Kelly Monaco), and his son, Danny Morgan. General Hospital rumors speculated that Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), little Jake’s adoptive father, is on his way to inform Elizabeth of the news regarding their son. Once Liz finds out that Jake, her son with Jason is actually alive, will she finally tell Jake Doe that he is actually Jason? We think so. Judging from Liz’s past behaviors, it isn’t enough right now that Jason has a wife and son out there, but once she finds out THEIR son is alive, her whole tune is likely to change. In our opinion, we predict that Elizabeth will want the real Jason Morgan to get to know their son, little Jake and will ponder her decision to finally come clean, now that she too has a family again with Jason.
We want to know where you think this story will lead. Share this post and comment with your thoughts and theories.
