The 50th annual Daytime Emmy Awards Postponed! As ABC’s General Hospital reaches its 60th anniversary, the daytime television as a whole meets it’s own major milestone. According to the latest daytime tv news, this year marks the 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
Originally, General Hospital news and spoilers indicated that the Daytime Emmy Awards was scheduled to air on June 16th on CBS. But GH spoilers reveal that due to the writer’s strike, everything is put on hold. The celebration requires professional writers to write the witty one liners and the host’s overall dialogue. With the WGA on strike, supporters and picketers complicate matters. More importantly, attendance might be very slim due to the support shown to the writers.
Daytime Emmy Awards Postponed
June 16th is right around the corner and we already bought our popcorn for the IG night. Sadly, General Hospital news reports confirm that the Awards show has not been cancelled. However, a new air date has yet to be determined, and is dependent upon a resolution for the WGA strike.
Fans can count on General Hospital Blog to deliver the latest GH spoilers, updates, news, rumors, and more. Please check back for further updates on the WGA strike, as well as more General Hospital news.
Nikolas haunts Ava at Wyndemere! Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) went missing at a pivotal time in his and his loved ones lives. Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) resurfaced and was on the brink of giving birth. Because of Nik’s one night stand with Esme, he became a father for the third time by his son’s ex-girlfriend. Ultimately, one thing lead to another and soon enough Ava took a swing that changed everything.
General Hospital recaps recall Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) desperate attempt to stop a threat. Remember, Nikolas became unhinged leading up to his disappearance. Eventually, his poor choices lead to his divorce from Ava, and the fact that she obtained Wyndemere sent him over the edge. What was Ava supposed to do when Nikolas came marching in, barking about taking Avery? She did what she had to do to ensure her daughter’s safety. Besides, other than practically killing him, she did Nikolas a huge solid. Otherwise Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) would have completed the job. No one messes with Sonny’s kids or the mother(s) of his children. Honestly, Nikolas should consider himself lucky.
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Nikolas haunts Ava at Wyndemere! Before he disappeared, she took his home in the divorce, and then almost killed him in the same home where they shared their lives together. GH recaps remind us that Mason is making trouble for Austin (Roger Howarth) and Ava. Although she knows Mason took Nik’s body, she has no clue that he’s still alive. With that, Nikolas has the opportunity to mess with Ava.
According to recent GH rumors, Nikolas uses his upper hand to drive Ava out of Wyndemere and never look back. Will she be too spooked to stay?
Is Victor Cassadine alive?! …Ding dong the wicked- well, the witch died long ago, but likes to pop up in nightmares. In fact, Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) recently appeared in Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) hallucinations. Thus proves soap opera deaths don’t play by the rules. So, what makes the fans so sure of Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnesssy) death?
When we reflect back on General Hospital recaps, it surely seemed like Victor was as dead as can be. Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) and the only remaining stable Cassadine family members sighed with relief over his demise. However, a recent comment has GH fans questioning whether or not Victor will be back to reek havoc on Port Charles. Although his lifeless body was clearly shown, new developments raise speculation.
Is Victor Cassadine Alive?!
According to General Hospital news reports, Shaughnessy may have just let the cat out of the bag in a statement to Soap Opera Digest. He told the outlet that he’s “not convinced Victor is completely gone.” Now, GH fans are left wondering. How can Victor return from the dead after we all saw him zipped up in a body bag? Well, this brings us right back to Helena and every other character who has “died,” just to emerge from some rock they had to hide under. Sometimes the characters resurface shortly after their presumed death. And other times it takes years.
Can Laura and her family and friends rest easy? Something (General Hospital rumors) tells us that they should sleep with one eye open.
Zeke returns to GH! Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) were starting a beautiful life together when things came to a screeching halt. Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) had put her mother in the spot, and demanded answers.
As General Hospital recaps recall, Portia and Curtis had already said “I do,” in front of family and friends. Among the wedding guests was Portia’s brother Zeke Robinson (Gavin Houston). Zeke popped up in Port Charles in early February. On February 7th Zeke made his first appearance for Curtis’s bachelor party. Then, he was seen again on February 15th for his sister Portia’s wedding.
General Hospital news reports that Gavin Houston announced his upcoming General Hospital status. He revealed that Zeke returns to GH in a “meaty” storyline. We can only assume that Trina’s paternity mystery is so juicy that we can’t help but sink our teeth into it. GH rumors tease that Houston’s character is involved in his tv sister’s family drama. Specifically, Portia’s twenty year secret. Now that Trina has made a decision to test DNA, it’s only a matter of time until they know the truth.
According to Michael Fairman TV, General Hospital news reports reveal an interesting fact some may have missed. Prior to February of 2023, Gavin Houston already appeared on General Hospital. Houston made his first appearance in 2010 as Detective Sly Thomas.
Joss and Dex leave together?! …Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) hired Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) as an informant. His mission was to get solid evidence against Michael’s own father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). With that, Michael planned to turn over the evidence, and secure Sonny’s future behind bars.
Somewhere along the way Dex fell for Michael’s sister, Sonny’s ex stepdaughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). At first, Joss and Dex’s relationship was a secret because of Michael and Sonny. Neither wanted Dex anywhere near Joss, but she and Dex are adults who couldn’t resist the chemistry between them.
Currently, their relationship is out in the open, and Sonny’s blessing was an added bonus. When he found out, he told Josslyn that her mother is the only one who has a true say in what she does. As for Dex, Sonny was disappointed he kept the secret. However, Dex has saved Sonny’s life so it’s almost as if Sonny gave him a free pass.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Dex makes a choices about his future. Now that Michael called off the mission Dex risked his life for, Dex faces two unsatisfying options. He must choose to stay working for Sonny legitimately, in hopes that he’ll never find out his initial intentions. Or, flee Port Charles, never to be seen by Sonny or anyone again- including Joss.
GH previews indicate Dex tells Joss he has to leave. Moreover, GH rumors hint that she’ll vow to stand by her man and leave along with him. Regarding any potential GH exits, no news has come to the surface about McCoy and Hofer’s General Hospital status. Therefore, General Hospital comings and goings reports show no signs of these two exiting the 60 year old daytime drama. Rest assured, we will keep y’all posted on any developments!
Ryan left Esme everything! Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) arrived in Port Charles on a mission. While posing as Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) doting girlfriend, the boarding school brat had a secret agenda. Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindtrom) was the mastermind behind the disturbing plot to come between Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Ava Jerome (Maura West). Moreover, Ryan’s obsession with Ava lead to a sequence of unfortunate events.
According to General Hospital recaps, Esme’s amnesia took her from a dangerous con-artist to a loving and responsible new mother. Despite a personal vendetta against his ex, even Spencer sees Esme’s maternal instincts kick in. Spencer’s grandmother Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) has been a constant support for Esme and baby Ace. After all, Ace is Laura’s grandson.
Ryan Left Esme Everything!?!?
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Esme is presented with independence. According to GH rumors, Esme’s father Ryan left everything to his daughter. As a result, Esme acquires financial freedom. Currently, Esme’s vulnerable to her environment because she truly has nothing and no one else. But if GH rumors regarding her inheritance are true, Esme considers her options.
Does Ryan leave Esme the opportunity to break free from the Cassadine’s financial hold?
Spencer sees Esme’s love for Ace. …Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) just experienced every mother’s worst nightmare. A horrific experience left Esme unconscious on the living room floor. When she woke, Esme opened her eyes to Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) bringing her back to consciousness. It was then that she remembered that Baby Ace was stolen.
This experience would traumatize anyone, especially a new mother that has amnesia. Although traumatic, her experience with Ace’s kidnapping showcased her true feelings as a mother. It’s obvious that Esme isn’t the same conniving and dangerous young woman she once was. Her love and devotion to her child displays a much softer, and even lovable side.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Spencer sees Esme’s love for Ace. The only Esme he knows is the one who conned him, the one who drove him and Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) apart. Spencer sees Esme as his psycho ex-girlfriend who slept with his father. Also, she tortured Ava, and her family tree is quite frightening.
Now that Esme and Ace have been reunited, GH rumors hint that Spencer’s thoughts about taking Ace from Esme are conflicted. The more he sees Esme’s natural abilities as a responsible mother, the greater his doubts. He was so dead set on taking Ace from his mother, but now things may change.
Drew leads Sonny to Nina! …Almost all of us can say that we know what it feels like to be wrongfully accused. On the other hand, how many of us can admit that we’ve wrongfully accused someone while overlooking the real culprit? Surely, it’s not always easy to admit when we’ve made a big mistake, but even still, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) rises to the occasion.
There’s so much drama going on in Port Charles right now. As GH recaps recall, Drew returned to port Charles fresh from a rescue mission. And it wasn’t just any rescue, but an epic victory in many ways. By helping stop Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy), the rescue crew saved the world. Most importantly, the rescue also brought Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) home so that she can help save Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) life. As if Willow’s situation wasn’t enough to keep her family’s focus, an unfortunate situation weighs on her loved ones. Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) and Drew Cain are under investigation for insider trading.
Drew Leads Sonny to Nina
According to General Hospital spoilers, Drew has a revelation. Despite the fact that he laid into Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth) and accused him of turning him and Carly in, Drew stops to think about things. General Hospital previews and spoilers indicate that things don’t quite add up when trying to justify putting the blame on Ned. First of all, the timing was way off. Ned is a cutthroat business man, but he also values family. It’s unlikely that he’d turn in the mother of the groom. Even Ned’s ELQ dedication wouldn’t drive him to spoiler Michael’s (Chad Duell) wedding to his dying fiancé. Secondly, Drew wasn’t even in town when the sh!t hit the fan. The latest GH spoilers and rumors tease that Drew stops and thinks about the situation at hand and how Ned’s involvement makes no sense. As Nina Reeves (Xynthia Watros) continues to weasel her way into Willow’s life, she still holds onto her secret. But according to GH rumors, Drew’s suspicions lead Sonny to Nina!
Will Sonny be the one to figure out Nina turned Carly and Drew into the SEC?!

Anthony Geary’s Jackie Zeman tribute reminds us of why General Hospital has been going strong for 60 years. …It’s not every day actors jump aboard the ship of a new working endeavor and sail off into paradise. In reality, a well-written storyline can only take a show so far. But it’s the actors who light up the screen that make the magic happen. Arguably, much of General Hospital’s success can be attributed to it’s extraordinary cast.
In television, many times the chemistry between co-stars is nonexistent. And sometimes there is some underlying reason that a show, a storyline, or even the characters themselves become a flop. Most gratefully, that’s not the case when it comes to the actors who made General Hospital what it is today. Jackie Zeman leaves her legacy as having been part of what was quite possibly the most iconic daytime tv crew. Her group of co-stars and off-screen pals include Anthony Geary (Lucas Lorenzo Spencer), Genie Francis (Laura Webber Spencer Collins), Kristina Wagner and John J. York (Felicia and Mac Scorpio), among other veteran actors.
General Hospital News
Following the tragic news of Jackie Zeman’s passing, co-star and life-long friend Anthony Geary paid tribute to his former co-star and tv sibling. Geary’s statement was told to TV Line after news about Jackie broke out. He said, “I was fortunate enough to play Jackie Zeman’s big brother on General Hospital. In all those years, I never heard her utter one disparaging word about any actor, crew member or co-worker. In fact, I never heard Jackie express an unkind word about anyone, ever.
“In a highly competitive profession where ego, feelings and emotions are bread and butter, I’ve found this quality to be extremely rare. I expect it will be even more rare now that dear Jackie is gone,” he added. “She was quite simply one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever known.”
That has got to be the most genuine thing to say about someone. Although we didn’t know her personally, it’s obvious that Jackie’s presence was a peaceful, lighthearted, and positive spirit to be around. Thanks to Geary, the fans have a better understanding of who Jaclyn Zeman was as a beloved mother, friend, actor, and more.
Over the years, Zeman and Geary became close friends. The love and respect they have for one another is crystal clear in Anthony’s statement. When reflecting on his friend’s life, he added, “I will miss her laugh, and the deep, soulful look in her eyes whenever she expressed the love and pride she had in her two lovely daughters. Tonight, l already miss her, and feel a powerful ache where Jackie’s smile used to be.”
We continue to keep Jackie’s loved ones in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep checking back for updates regarding GH’s tribute episode.
Sonya Eddy and Jackie Zeman …Although we have lost some incredible people over the years, losing these two General Hospital icons hits hard. Maybe because these extraordinary women were taken so suddenly. Additionally, their status with General Hospital added to the devastation.
Although Sonya Eddy was seldomly recurring, she was still an active cast member. Epiphany Johnson’s relevance to the storylines remained ever present, even up to her untimely death.
As for Jackie Zeman, Bobbie Spencer was still heavily involved in current storylines. In fact, GH co-star and friend to Zeman, Laura Wright, reflected on the last scene filmed with her on-screen mother. In a recent serious of tweets, Laura Wright (Carly Spencer Corinthos) shared her most recent scene filmed with Jackie. Sadly, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) wedding was the last time Wright shared a scene with the late Jackie Zeman.
Sonya Eddy and Jackie Zeman are remembered for their talent, hard work, and glowing spirit on General Hospital. They leave behind a proud legacy! Please continue to keep their families in your thoughts and prayers.
According to social media, an outpouring of emotional posts flood our feeds. As expected, Zeman’s GH family is grief stricken by their loss. The General Hospital community is taking the news quite hard as they try to make sense of it all. The news came as a shock to even Jackie’s closest co-stars. It’s scary to think how we just never know what’s next. Spread your love because you may not get another chance. ❤️
