Maurice Benard Has NOT Re-signed Contract with GH

Maurice Benard joined the cast of General Hospital in August of 1993 as Michael Sonny Corinthos. He has been a fan favorite and front and center for over tow- almost three decades. Some would say that General Hospital would not be what it is today without the character of Sonny Corinthos and the amazingly talented actor, Maurice Benard, who portrays him. There is some recent General Hospital news that has fans worried about the future of their favorite character, Sonny Corinthos. For a few months now General Hospital rumors have been indicating that Maurice Benard will be taking 6 months off of General Hospital as Port Charles’ most popular mob boss, Sonny Corinthos.

In the newest edition of ABC Soaps in Depth Magazine, the September 29th issue, it has been revealed that Maurice Benard’s contract is due to be up very soon and the actor has not yet re-signed. Benard is considering leaving GH to work on other projects. The actor told Soaps in Depth, “I take the contract day to day. I’m 100% happy at GH, I love Ron and Frank, but I want to do other things.”

It would be a sad time for General Hospital is Maurice Benard left the show. He has been an iconic character for so long that it is uncertain how the rest of the show that has been built around the mob would hold up in this situation.

Recent General Hospital rumors speculate that Sonny will go to jail for the murder of AJ Quartermaine, and that we will not see Sonny for about six months.

General Hospital Blog will keep you posted on this topic and update with any news that confirms the status of Maurice Benard’s contract with General Hospital.

Let us know your thoughts on the possible departure of the legendary Maurice Benard as Sonny Corinthos.

However, no bond is stronger than that of The Phoenix and The Dragon. That bond he shares is with his wife, Samantha Morgan (Kelly Monaco).

It has been speculated that Julian will try and keep Sam and Jason apart. Will JaSam prevail? We know that their love is stronger than anything.

Teresa Castillo OUT?! Will Sabrina’s New Attitude Lead Her Right Out of Port Charles?

General Hospital’s Teresa Castillo (Sabrina Santiago) has recently returned to work after being on maternity leave this past Summer. She and her husband, Shane Aaron welcomed their first baby, Victoria, on May 29th, 2014. When her character Sabrina Santiago left Port Charles, she went to Puerto Rico to be with her cousin Juan Santiago (Michael Saucedo) and the rest of her family to aide in the grieving process after losing her infant son, Gabriel. While she was away, Dr. Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson), the father of Sabrina’s baby, did some investigating with P.I. pal, Samantha Morgan (Kelly Monaco). They set out to find answers to who drove the car off the road, causing Sabrina to go into premature labor and ultimately the death of her baby boy. When Sabrina returned, Patrick had some answers for her regarding the crash, as did her ex-fiance Carlos Rivera (Jeffrey Vincent Parise). When Sabrina went to visit Carlos in jail, he revealed to her that he thinks Ava Jerome (Maura West) was the one who put Rafe (Jimmy Deshler) up to running them off the road.

Sabrina has a new personality since she has been back to Port Charles. After learning from Patrick that someone was deliberately trying to hurt them, and Carlos telling her that Ava was involved, Sabrina has a one track mind on revenge. Since she thinks that Ava is the one who told Rafe to cause the accident, Sabrina wants revenge on Ava and her unborn child. She is headed down a dark path, and acting like a completely different person. What does this mean for Sabrina’s future?

General Hospital Rumors say that this change in character is leading her right out of Port Charles. It has been rumored that actress Teresa Castillo will be leaving General Hospital, and this new story line with Sabrina is just the way the writers are going to prepare for her exit.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated with any information regarding the possible exit of Teresa Castillo. At this point there as been no confirmation of this news.

Who is Nathan’s Father?

When he first arrived in Port Charles, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) was on a mission to find Silas Clay (Michael Easton) and nail him for what he thought he did to his sister, Nina Clay (Michelle Stafford). Silas is Nina’s husband and Nathan was under the impression that he was responsible for putting Nina in a coma. Who he thought was his mother, Magda (Madeline) Reeves (Donna Mills), turned out to actually be his aunt, Nina Clay now Nathan’s cousin, and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) now his half sister. His mother turned out to be Madeline’s sister, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati).

A lot has happened to Nathan West already in his short time in Port Charles. The moment he met Maxie, the two of them made a connection that was undeniable. After months of watching Maxie be manipulated by Levi, he admitted to Dante that he had feelings for her. In the midst of all the drama Levi, Peter Harrell, and the Cassadines have put Nathan, Maxie, Dante, and Lulu through, there was even more drama regarding Nathan’s paternity. Liesl told Victor Cassadine and Nathan that Victor was Nathan’s father. Later it came out that Dr. Obrecht was lying, because she wants Nathan to think his father is Victor. It sounds strange that she would WANT Nathan to believe his father is an evil lunatic, but according to Dr. O, she claims it is better than the actual truth.

So who could be worse than Victor Cassadine? Liesl wants the secret to die with Victor in hopes that everyone will believe that he was Nathan’s father. Since it was revealed that Victor is indeed not Nathan’s father, who could he be? What family does Nathan belong to? If he isn’t a Cassadine, is he a Quartermaine? Corinthos? Jacks? Scorpio?

We want to know who you think Nathan West’s father is! Comment below and share your theories!

Ding Dong Dunkleman is Dead!

When we hear the name Levi Dunkleman (Zachary Garred), it sends shivers down our spine. Levi has been the most hated character on General Hospital in recent history. Some love to hate him, and others just completely despise the lying, manipulating, psychotic, freak.  Either way, it just goes to show that Zachary Garred has done an amazing job making everyone believe that he is a wretched slime ball.

Levi’s real name is Peter Harrell Jr., and he is the son of Felicia Jones’ (Kristina Wagner) ex-fiance Peter Harrell (Judson Scott). Levi’s father Peter set Levi out on this mission to destroy the Jones/Scorpio family. He targeted Felicia’s daughter, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) when she was on her eat, pray, love quest to find herself after losing custody of her own daughter. Dunkleman had Maxie fooled into believing he was this peace making, yoga practicing, soul saving vegetarian. Almost everyone around Maxie could see through Levi, including her roommate Nathan West (Ryan Paevey), her two best friends, Dante and Lulu Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna and Emme Rylan), and her Uncle Mac Scorpio (John J. York).

After being duped into marrying Levi, and almost going through with it, Maxie, Lulu, Dante, and Nathan all fell victim to Levi and his father, Peter Harrell. They had Maxie and Nathan chained up to a wall as Stavros took over with Lulu and Dante to impregnate her with an embryo. Maxie was able to go free and search for help as Nathan stayed behind. She found herself in a hospital room which led to where all the drama unfolded. There in a hospital bed lay Peter Harrell himself, and in walks Levi. The two explained how they were going to kill her to take something precious away from Felicia, has Felicia took something precious from Peter in the past. Maxie’s Knight in Shining Armor appeared just in time and saved her before Peter could kill her with an Aztec sword. Ultimately, the tables turned and the joke was on Levi. Nathan shot his father, and as Levi was about to shoot Nathan, Maxie was behind him and charged, stabbing him in the back.

Ding Dong Dunkleman is DEAD… or is he? Do you think Maxie had what it takes to succeed in killing Levi? For many fans, it seems to good to be true to be rid of this character once and for all. If Dunkleman is dead, he will truly be missed as being an exceptional villain. Nothing has been confirmed on the departure of actor Zachary Garred from General Hospital. We will keep you updated with any news confirming or denying Garred leaving GH. For now, let’s just wait and see if Dunkleman is gone for good.

Will Luke Save His Daughter Lulu Before Stavros Has His Way?

The Spencer/Cassadine war has been ongoing for decades. The Cassadines have a sick obsession with Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) and his family and just won’t leave them alone. No matter how many times Luke is victorious in bring down a member of the Cassadine Clan, they always seem to resurface.

Last year, when Stavros kidnapped Lulu (Emme Rylan), he had plans for the two to be married and start a family. Well all his plans were foiled when Lulu was rescued by her family. Nothing would stop Luke, Laura (Genie Francis), and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) from coming to her aid and saving her from the crazed Cassadine. The battle wasn’t easy, and nothing is ever final when it comes to the Cassadines, especially Helena (Constance Towers) and Stavros (Robert Kelker-Kelly). Although they were “killed” a Cassadine never really dies. Stavros’ body was frozen and now brought back to life by Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis). Victor couldn’t do it alone, however. Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough) was forced to help Victor bring Stavros back from the dead in exchange for being able to help her best friend, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton/Billy Miller) at the same time. Of course Victor didn’t live up to his end of the bargain entirely. He only wanted Jason to be used as their medical miracle guinea pig, and never really expected he would be able to go home to his wife, Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) and son Danny.

Luke has been kidnapped, drugged, and help captive at a facility called Miscavige, the place where Heather Webber spent some time in the psych ward. Whoever kidnapped Luke, stole his identity, his face, his life. It has been several months since the real Luke Spencer has been absent from the lives of his loved ones, while the impostor Luke would walk around the town of Port Charles making everyone believe that he was the same old Luke. People are starting to catch on to Luke’s odd behavior. Little Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Bechtel) already overheard Luke threatening his uncle Sonny (Maurice Benard), Ava Jerome (Maura West) has seen Luke as her ‘boss’ but knows it isn’t really him… Julian (William DeVry) knows that the fake Luke is actually someone he was in the WPP with a while back. After Tracy (Jane Elliot) has been trying to get in touch with Luke over the disappearance of his daughter Lulu, she starts to sniff out the fishy situation. She knows that Luke would never ignore the fact that Lulu was in danger.

Will Luke be rescued or break free on his own in time to save Lulu from Cassadine control? Stavros has BIG plans for Lulu Spencer Falconeri and Luke may be the only one who can save her. Come October, we will know who the fake Luke really is… perhaps he will be revealed just in time, before Stavros does the unthinkable to Lulu.

Stavros Cassadine Has BIG Plans for Lulu Spencer

The look on Lulu’s (Emme Rylan) face when that door swung open was nothing less than a look of terror. Stavros Cassadine (Robert Kelker-Kelly) is completely unhinged and was obsessed with Lulu’s mother, Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) for years. More recently, Stavros became fascinated by Lulu and even went to the lengths of kidnapping her, brainwashing her, in hopes that they would marry. The dynamic duo that is Luke (Tony Geary) and Laura Spencer (Lulu’s parents), along with her husband Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), came to her rescue. For some time, Lulu was confused and did not remember being married to Dante. Eventually she came around and was able to overcome the traumatic events that took place when kept prisoner by Stavros Cassadine.

The Spencer/Falconeri clans thought they were rid of Stavros after he was killed in Lulu’s rescue… but of course, a real Cassadine is never really dead. Stavros’ body was frozen and was recently brought back to life by Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis), with the help of Dr. Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough).

Now that Stavros has returned, and he already has Lulu in his grasp, he reveals his big plans that he has for the two of them. Stavros is still sickly infatuated with Lulu. He proclaimed obsession and told her that the two of them will be married and start a family. He must know what has been going on in their lives recently with their struggle to conceive a child. Stavros insulted Dante by calling him impotent, and referred to the fact that he and Lulu are struggling with pregnancy.

How will Stavros try and make Lulu have his child? We all know she would never comply. If Dr. Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) is on Victor’s side, or even if she is forced to help Victor because she has been keeping their son, Nathan (Ryan Paevey) a secret from him, it is possible that Stavros could use one of Dante and Lulu’s embryos. It is almost certain that NO GH FAN wants to see a Stavros and Lulu baby! Robert Kelker-Kelly does a fantastic job of portraying this ultra creepy, completely eccentric, man who is obviously disturbed. The Cassadine/Spencer war lives on with these brilliant actors. Stavros wants his Ice Princess and he may just be able to get it…
