General Hospital Spoilers: GH Writer Shannon Peace Confirms Last Episode As Temporary Writing Team Takes Over

GH’s temporary writing team WGA strike

GH’s temporary writing team steps in!

…By now most of the General Hospital audience is aware of the film industry’s current state of affairs. Since May, the WGA has been on strike. Contract negotiations between the WGA and the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producer) are at a standstill. As a result, the GH writing team strikes along with the entire WGA.

Basically, writers aren’t writing without an updated agreement with the AMPTP. It’s as simple as that. Additionally, the arts stick together as the actors support their writing team.

What does this mean for General Hospital, the writers, the actors, and even the fans? Well, the actors film scenes like rapid fire, knocking out multiple scenes/episodes. Early call times and late night dismissals are typical of a soap opera actor. Because of this, there’s an estimated 6 weeks or so of episodes filmed ahead of time. Previous GH spoilers and news reports confirmed that the strike began on May 2nd. During this time, the episodes were still written by GH’s official team. However, they’ve now run out of episodes, and the strike has not been settled.

Due to the ongoing negotiations, General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the GH writing team’s last aired episode. Last week, GH writer, Shannon Peace took to Instagram to make an announcement. Peace revealed that Thursday’s episode was the writing teams last until things are resolved.

GH’s Temporary Writing Team Steps In

According to General Hospital spoilers, there’s about to be some changes in Port Charles. GH writer Shannon Peace made a statement regarding the on-going negotiations and shed some light on the situation. She explained, “My episode that aired Thursday, July 20 was my final until the strike is over. Starting Tuesday, the writing team of GH will be watching alongside fans to see what happens… for the sake of the fans, I hope the show is in capable writing hands. But I have to also acknowledge the pain of knowing that characters we’ve developed, relationships we built and stories we planned are being handled by others. Still, my hope is that if you love GH, you’ll continue to watch. You can morally support the writers AND keep the show the air!”

In addition, Peace penned thoughtful insight and harsh reality regarding the situation. She added, “Daytime writers face a unique conflict during strikes. We hate to see our characters and storylines handed over to ‘writers’ who cross the picket line. But we are also keenly aware that stopping production could spell the demise of the soap operas.  Hoping that the AMPTP does the right thing soon, not just for writers, but for the integrity of the storytelling.”

Episodes written by replacement writers begin on Tuesday, July 25th. Peace admits that these storylines may or may not follow the long story course that is provided by the Head Writers. Right now, the direction this is going is anyone’s guess.

We pray for these organizations to reach an understanding. So much is at stake as careers are in jeopardy. Moreover, these shows are so important to the fans. Please check back with General Hospital Blog for updates and developments regarding the WGA strike.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ned Hangs Up The Eddie Act For Leo

Leo turns Eddie into Ned

Leo turns Eddie into Ned again!?!? GH Shocker! Ned ends Eddie Maine charade?!
…Say what you will about Mama Q., aka, Olivia Falconeri Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero), but she’s passionate about her family! Especially her children. Past and present, Olivia gets a bad rap for her emotional reactions to life’s hiccups. But no one worries more than an Italian mother. Ok, maybe an Italian mother from Bensonhurst! Undoubtedly, family comes first and she’ll do anything to protect her loved ones.

Currently, Olivia is losing her mind over Ned Ashton’s (Wally Kurth) run-in with 90s nostalgia. While the one who suffers most is Ned’s adoptive son, Leo (Easton Rocket Sweda). According to GH history, Ned legally adopted Leo after his biological father, Julian Jerome (William deVry) died. Unfortunately, mob violence took Leo’s father’s life when he was just a baby. However unfortunate, Leo was too young to remember losing his father. Sadly, that’s not the case this time. Poor Leo is old enough now to be emotionally impacted by this loss. Although Ned is there in the flesh, Eddie Maine isn’t exactly father material.

According to General Hospital spoilers, parenting just got a lot more difficult for Olivia. Not only does she suddenly have the responsibility of a single mom, she has to watch her son grieve for a man who is right there. Further, she does this while grieving for Ned herself! Ned’s identity crisis affects the entire family, especially their son Leo. Understandably, he’s acting out because he’s struggling with Eddie Maine replacing his father.

Meanwhile, GH spoilers and rumors tease that Olivia and Ned’s son might be the key to unlocking Ned’s emergence. If GH rumors are true, and Ned is truly faking, GH fans speculate Leo does a number on Eddie Maine. How can anyone knowingly hurt that sweet child? Exactly, they can’t. Or they’d have to be a total psychopath, and Ned is not.

Recent GH spoilers and rumors tease that Eddie won’t be pulling on his guitar strings when Leo pulls on Ned’s heart strings.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina Saves Sasha From Gladys- Sonny Looks Passed Nina’s Betrayal?

Nina saves Sasha

Nina saves Sasha! …It seems like Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) can do no wrong in Sonny’s eyes. I mean, she lied to him for close to a year, and kept him away from his wife and children. Knowing Sonny, anyone would think that his reaction would have been explosive. But for some reason, inside of going off like a grenade, Sonny was pretty chill about what she’d done.

According to GH spoilers, Nina’s actions toward Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) have catastrophic consequences for Ms. Reeves. Although Nina has overstepped time and time again, for some reason Sonny gives her more lives than a cat. However, recent GH rumors hint that Nina’s latest revenge plot backfires. Because Sonny isn’t about putting Carly, the mother of his children in any type of danger or adverse situation. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what Nina did. This may be the last straw for Nina when it comes to her relationship with Sonny. Because when he finds out, he won’t be happy.

On the contrary, some GH rumors claim that Nina gets another free pass when it comes to Sonny. Since Sasha is important to both Sonny and Nina, Nina‘s efforts to help Sasha will hold weight with Sonny. According to the latest GH spoilers and previews, Gladys’s betrayal causes Sasha’s breakdown. Thankfully, she isn’t alone and has people in her corner. That being said, GH turbos hint that Nina saves Sasha from Greedy Gladys. As a result, will Sonny excuse Nina for turning Carly and Drew into the SEC?!

According to General Hospital spoilers, Gladys stands by like a supportive friend as she watches Sasha unravel. All while knowing that she is the cause of all Sasha’s pain and anguish. Gladys and Dr. Montague’s (Darin Toonder) arrangement outs Sasha’s life at risk. Still? Greedy Gladys keeps pushing the envelope, taking more and more from her daughter-in-law. First money and possessions, and now her life.

GH rumors hint that Gladys watches as Sasha loses control. One thing leads to another when GH rumors claim that Sasha murders Dr. Montague as a result of her meds. Thanks to Gladys, Sasha has blood on her hands. What’s next for The Face of Deception?

General Hospital Spoilers: Sonny Prepares For Mob War With New Look!

Sonny prepares for mob war

Sonny prepares for mob war! …Say goodbye to Mike from Nixon Falls and say hello to Mobster Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) from Bensonhurst! We couldn’t help but take notice of Sonny’s new look! Immediately, flashbacks of gunfire and mob drama danced through my brain waves. Sonny’s striking dark hair is more than just a root touch up. Is it just style? Or is it symbolism?

When it comes to appearance, Sonny Corinthos is iconically known for his slicked back, dark hair. Since the early 1990s, GH fans recognized the Port Charles mobster by his intimidating demeanor. That’s why, when everything began to fall apart, Sonny lost his identity completely. His jet black hair was fading just like his personality as Nina turned him into Mike.

According to General Hospital spoilers, Sonny is ready to leave every aspect of Mike behind. His new look foreshadows the mob war that is on the horizon. Did you happen to notice Sonny’s new look? Sonny’s previews look sumpolizwd who he became in Nixon Falls. A softer (among other things) version. I don’t know about you all but I’m so done with that version. Bring on the jet black hair as Sonny prepares for mob war!

In reality, the situation is difficult enough for adults to process, let alone a child. The situation with his father, Ned Ashton Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) is weighing on the little guy and he doesn’t know how to convey his feelings.

General Hospital Spoilers: Gladys’s Ship Is Sinking, Maxie Stands By Her Friend

Maxie stands by Sasha

Maxie stands by Sasha. …The ones who truly know Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) know what type of person she is. Mostly, her close family and friends have a pretty good idea of what she’s capable of.

GH Recaps: Gladys sets Sasha up for a downfall. So far so good, Gladys Corbin’s (Bonnie Burroughs) plan to keep her daughter-in-law under financial lock and key is in progress. At this point, Gladys gives her best performance to convince everyone that she’s worried about Sasha’s mental state.

According to GH spoilers, Gladys might have some people convinced, but when it comes to Maxie it won’t be easy. Maxie and Sasha have been in the business for a few years now. Understandably, the ladies have gotten to know one another as they work side by side, day after day.

The latest General Hospital spoilers and rumors indicate that Maxie stands by Sasha when it comes to her strength. Obviously, Sasha’s come a long way from the state she was in.
