General Hospital Recaps: Remember When? Island Edition

General Hospital Recaps: Remember When The Island Jagger Cates
General Hospital Recaps: Remember When The Island Jagger Cates

Over the years, General Hospital has made history time and time again with its iconic storylines. Sadly, those creative and legendary stories won’t told for a while as we navigate through Covid-19. Although this won’t be forever, it is still difficult for the cast, crew, and fans alike to wrap our heads around the reality of it all. While we sit and wait for our world as we know it to go back to normal, we can reflect on the fond memories from our favorite Daytime Drama.

As fashion trends and TV show reboots from the 1990s have begun to resurface, one very memorable General Hospital storyline from the 1990s comes to mind. In the early 1990s I got sucked in and swept away. I started watching GH with my mom and sister and the story that was front and center revolved around Jason Quartermaine. Now, he goes by Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Jason, Jagger Cates (Antonio Sabato Jr.), and Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne) were stranded on an island and I was hooked!

Romance, drama, and adventure followed these three wherever they went, even on a deserted island! After being shipwrecked, they were stranded on a deserted island, making things very awkward for everyone involved since Jagger and Karen were a couple, Jason was annoyed, and the two men weren’t too keen on each other. This love triangle was secondary to that of Jagger, Karen, and Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), but developed as Jason Quartermaine was basically a third wheel when he, Jagger, and Karen were stuck on a deserted island.

Tension was always thick between Jason and Jagger. Of course, it was all over a girl. Karen Wexler was the girl they both had their eye on. So, in one climatic scene, Jagger walked up as Jason embraced Karen from behind. Naturally, Jagger was angry and jealous, but it wasn’t what it looked liked. Instead, Jason was comforting Karen after the attempted rape. Like always, Jason Morgan has been a savior to women. He is a natural protector, quick thinker, and a fighter for what’s right. Jason Quartermaine never lost that part of himself, even after the car accident with his brother AJ (Sean Kanan), leading him to change his name from Quartermaine to another family name, Morgan.

At some point, Jason and Jagger had to put their pride and differences aside. This was necessary in order to work together to survive. Jagger was the muscle, while Jason was both the brains of the operation. Additionally, it’s apparent that both Jason and Jagger are strong and resourceful. Karen was resourceful in her own right, but definitely played the role of damsel in distress very well.

LuckyJakedeathGeneral Hospital’s Summer Stunner is no doubt one of the biggest shocks we could have ever asked for.

In this week’s scenes where Luke Spencer and Helena Cassadine said their goodbyes, she informed Luke that she has a parting gift for him. That gift, is that the grandson he thought he killed while he was drunk driving, is not dead at all. Instead, little Jake was part of another one of Helena’s evil plots to put the Spencer family though Hell.

Jake Remembers He is Jason Morgan! Will He Live to Tell the Secret?

Ironically, with the help of Helena Cassadine, it has been proven that she has been controlling Jake Doe with mind conditioning and a microchip. Dr. Patrick Drake confirmed Helena’s claims with a brain scan, finding the microchip hidden deep within Jake’s brain. He is undergoing surgery to finally put an end to what Helena has done.

All of Jason’s leading ladies are right by his side. He has Elizabeth with him in the operating room as Sam and Carly stand by and pray that he survives. At this time, these women are there to support a friend. Liz has been by Jake’s side since he was first brought to GH, she let him into her home and life, and wants the best for him. Sam has felt some strange connections to Jake, as her son Danny mysteriously clung to his side when they first met. Carly also feels a familiar bond with Jake, and she and Sam also want him to pull through to over come the damage Helena has done.

On the operating table, just before he went under, Jake had flashbacks of Helena giving him orders, and explaining that he is in fact the one and only Jason Morgan. He is in the middle of an extremely risky surgery and even Dr. Drake doesn’t know if he will make it out alive.

Will Jake live to tell Helena’s secret and reunite with his wife, family, and friends? Check out GH at 2PM Eastern!

General Hospital Spoilers: The Luke Spencer Mystery Finally Solved

The mystery of Fluke/Luke Spencer has been one hell of a roller coaster for a longer period of time than fans ever expected. For over an entire year fans have been left in the dark to try and unravel the mystery behind fake Luke Spencer. Was he an impostor? Was it plastic surgery, a mask? Was it all in his mind, brainwashing from his arch enemy Helena Cassadine?

Tracy, Lulu, Bobbie, and all of Luke’s loved ones and friends couldn’t wrap their heads around is peculiar behavior over the past year. He has been sneaky to say that least, and down right dangerous. He has hurt those who love him the most, and who he loves dearly. Nothing was adding up, especially in the most recent explanation that Luke was just being himself, no regrets. The thought of Luke trying to kill his own cupcake, Lulu, and his love, Tracy Quartermaine, rattled many cages. Fans were upset because the legendary Luke Spencer they had known for decades was now gone. The characters of GH who surround Luke are feeling the exact same way. He has become a stranger to his family and friends, and his own sister Bobbie is ready to throw in the towel.

With the help of Helena’s explanation to Nikolas and Lulu, and Bobbie getting through to Luke, the mystery has finally been solved. Fake Luke isn’t another person, he isn’t wearing a mask, he hasn’t been brainwashed, and he didn’t just change his mind and turn against the ones he loves. The way Luke “snapped out of it” when Bobbie was preaching to him gave the impression that Luke hasn’t been aware of how he has been behaving because of split personalities.

The concept of DID on soaps is not a new one, the most famous DID story in soap history is from One Life to Live, involving Victoria Lord and her alter egos. More recently, General Hospital used DID in the story with Connie Falconeri/Kate Howard.

It looks like this is where the writers are going with this ongoing Luke Spencer mystery. The mystery has finally been solved. Luke has DID due to traumatic events he experienced growing up in the old Spencer home. General Hospital spoilers reveal that those times are about to resurface, and Luke will have to face what he went through yet again. Will going down memeory line hurt or help his state of mind?

How do you feel about this DID story involving Luke Spencer? Are you happy this story has finally been solved?

What’s REALLY Going On With Luke Spencer

Lucas Lorenzo Spencer as we know him is gone. So far gone that he is unrecognizable to his daughter Lulu Falconeri, and his love, Tracy Quartermaine. The two most important women in Luke’s life are at a loss, not knowing what has come over the ones loving, sincere man they once knew.

Lulu and Tracy had their hopes high with the idea of being able to blame Helena Cassadine for Luke’s 180 in his personality. For the past year, he has been acting like a completely different person, so much so that his loved ones and residents of PC actually began to believe that Luke WAS another person. When Faison turned out to be just a decoy so that Fluke could continue on withreeking havoc on the city of PC, everyone was convinced that Helena had perform mind conditioning on Luke, as she had done on Jake Doe (Jason Morgan). Lulu did not want to face the conclusion that her adoring father had actually tried to kill her and everyone he/they care about. She and Tracy needed someone to blame for Luke’s behavior and they had their minds set on Luke’s arch enemy, Helena.

When it turned out that Jake Doe was found to have a microchip in his brain as Helena disclosed, Luke however did not. As of now, there is no reason to believe that Helena has used a microchip to control Luke Spencer. That doesn’t mean that it ends there. As Tracy told Luke today, it is clear that there is much more to this than Luke is leading on. He claims these acts are his and his alone. That the way he treated his daughter, Tracy, and wanting what Sonny has has been in him this whole time, and that he just now figured out how to TAKE all the power.

Just as we as fans and the characters of GH thought that had this Fluke mystery all figured out, we encountered yet another setback. The story feels like a never ending mystery and many fans are ready to through their hands in the air and give up trying to solve it. Hopefully it won’t be much longer until Tracy, Lulu, Nikolas, or whoever has the power to get to the bottom of this does just that.

What do you think is really going on with Luke Spencer? Since he is NOT an impostor, and Helena claims she is not controlling him, what could have happened? Did the drugs he was given in Miscavige effect his brain this severely? Will we ever get our beloved Luke back? Will Lulu get to see her dad enjoy his grandson Rocco when this is all over? We will just have to stick it out a little longer and watch it all unfold in upcoming episodes of General Hospital.

Olivia: “I’m Pregnant With Julian’s Baby”

Not a big shocker here. We kind of saw this coming once actress Lisa LoCicero announced that she is pregnant with her second child with husband, Michael Patrick Jann. Many times when actresses on soaps are pregnant in real life it is written into the script. Since Olivia slept with Julian Jerome on New Years Eve, and to our knowledge hasn’t been bed hopping with any other residents of Port Charles, it’s safe to say that Olivia is right. It looks as though this definitely won’t be a “whose the daddy” type of story line, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be complicated.

Olivia Falconeri and Julian Jerome are far from being in love. They were only together once, and those both have their hearts set on someone else. On NYE both were feeling lonely and broken hearted since Ned Ashton was in a relationship with Alexis Davis. Julian still cares a great deal for the mother of his child (Sam Morgan), and Olivia has fallen hard for her friend Ned. Julian and Olivia were there for one another to get them through this emotional time.

Alexis and Ned have finally confronted the fact that she is hung up on Julian, and Ned has finally realized that he belongs with Olivia. Of course nothing is that simple in soap world. Olivia being pregnant with Julian’s baby puts a wrench in the development of both Julian and Alexis’ and Olivia and Ned’s relationships. It will be interesting to see how this will all play out. How will Alexis react to this devastating news, just as she put down her wall and accepted Julian for the mobster he is?

Let us know your thoughts! Are you happy Olivia is pregnant with Julian’s baby?

Spinelli Professes His Love, Who Will Maxie Choose?

Fans who have been supporting Nathan (Ryan Paevey) and Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) relationship from the very beginning might be biting their lips right now, nervous that the new romance won’t even stand a chance now that Spinelli is back. Some fans who have been on the Naxie bandwagon since Nathan arrived supported the couple because it was second best to Spixie. Others just remained hung up on Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Maxie’s love story and didn’t want to accept that Maxie would move on with anyone.

When Spinelli and Ellie (Emily Wilson) still lived in Port Charles, Maxie was the one professing her love to Spinelli. She told him after all they had been through that she had wanted him back, and he rejected her love and chose Ellie. The two moved to Portland Oregon so that Ellie could pursue her career at the local hospital lab. Maxie was left alone in her thoughts of being rejected, and alter finding out that she lost custody of her own daughter to Spinelli.

Now that Maxie has finally put her life back together with the help and support of those who love her, including Nathan West, she had the courage to move on romantically. Nathan and Maxie have a large adoring fan base, but is it as strong as the 8 year romance that had developed between Maxie “Maximista” and Damian Spinelli. Today they have an even stronger bond, their daughter Georgie (Harper Rose Barash).

Spinelli is back in Port Charles and since Christmas, he has had a lot to think about. While still with Ellie, she pointed out to Spinelli that he and Maxie look like they belong together, as a family, with their daughter. Spinelli has now confessed his feelings for his Maximista, and since Nathan and Maxie aren’t seeing eye to eye over Johnny Zacchara (Brandon Barash), will this be the gateway for a Spixie reunion? Maxie said it herself, no one knows her the way Spinelli knows her. and accepts her the way she is. Does Nathan have it in him to love Maxie as selflessly as Spinelli does?

Let us know what you think! Would you like to see Maxie move on from Spinelli with Detective Nathan West, or would you like to see Spinelli and Maxie be a family with their daughter Georgie?

Did Sonny Save Everyone Except Himself?

February Sweeps has brought some extreme stories to General Hospital. The residents of Port Charles have been faced with a multitude of danger, all by the hands of Helena Cassadine. Helena has always been a feared villain in Port Charles, having a tight grip on the weakness of those she preys on. The Cassadine/Spencer family feud has been going on for decades, and this time Helena’s target is as direct as it gets. She has taken control of the head of the Spencer family, Luke.

Helena has put Luke in the position of hurting those he loves in Port Charles, along with controlling Jason Morgan with mind conditioning to do the same. As a result, their lives are at stake. After piecing some theories together, Julian Jerome and Sonny Corinthos joined forces and decided to break out of Pentonville for the sake of saving their sons. Fluke gave Sonny a warning that Michael and Lucas would be targeted in his evil scheme. Well Sonny does nothing better than protecting the ones he loves and at that moment he knew he had to act fast.

Now that Sonny took the bomb and all the people who were in attendance at The Haunted Star are safe, Sonny’s status of survival is uncertain. Saving everyone just may have made his son Michael realize that there is still good in Sonny, and that he truly does love him. Will it be too late for Sonny and Michael to reconcile?

In a recent report regarding the status of Maurice Benard’s contract with General Hospital, General Hospital spoilers revealed that Maurice stated he isn’t going anywhere and he will be staying at GH for another year. He signed another contract with the show, guaranteeing that Sonny stay with us.

Although today’s episode of GH with Sonny taking the bomb, and not knowing if he got away in time is undeniably mystifying and dramatic, it’s most likely just to keep the audience on their toes. There is no news of Maurice leaving his role as Sonny, therefore it’s highly unlikely that Sonny will die in this February Sweeps story.

What do you all think? Is Sonny going to die after saving everyone at The Haunted Star?

Who Dies in This Year’s GH February Sweeps?

Yesterday’s episode of General Hospital had enough action packed excitement for an entire year of Port Charles shenanigans. The residents of PC have been through the ringer, and just as we the audience, and the characters unravel the Fluke mystery, someone might not suriveve.

Between two explosions, a shootout, and an LSD injection, it’s safe to say that someone may not walk out of this mess alive. Ava Jerome was shot by Carlos Rivera, then Sonny tried to save her from slipping as she held on for dear life. Did Ava fall to her death? General Hospital comings and goings have no confirmation of actress Maura West leaving General Hospital. Ava fans are hoping that she survived somehow… anything is possible in soap world.

Johnny Zacchara was also caught in the crossfire. He was shot in the chest, and although it is alive at this point, General Hospital spoilers revealed that actor Brandon Barash has not signed a contract with General Hospital, and that his return was only temporary. Sources are uncertain whether or not his next departure from the show will be a write off, or if his character will be killed in this year’s February Sweeps.

Dante is receiving medical treatment at GH due to injuries inflicted upon him by Fluke. Before making his discovery in the basement of the old Spencer home, Fake Luke or shall we say, real Luke under Helena’s mind control, knocked Dante out several times and locked him downstairs with a rotting corpse. Friend and Detective Nathan West came to Dante’s rescue just seconds before the bomb placed by Fluke ended both of their lives.

With other projects underway, Roger Howarth has been rumored to be leaving GH. Do you think that was a lethal does of LSD he took for Nina?

Keep watching General Hospital to find out if one of your favorite characters will die this February.
