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.

General Hospital Recaps: Remember When The Island Jagger

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.

General Hospital Spoilers: Curtis Digs Deeper Into Portia’s Past, Has Reason To Believe She’s Lying

Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) was taken aback when he saw his ex lover, Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) making a home for herself and her daughter, Trina Robinson (Sydney Makayla). Curtis and Portia were romantically involved in the past but that affair was short lived once Curtis found out Portia was a married woman.

Portia was married to Detective Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews), and the two have raised their daughter, Trina. Recently their family suffered a tragedy after Taggert was killed on Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) orders. Trina now holds resentment toward Curtis and Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) for their part in the entire situation which lead to the death of her father.

Curtis has been up front with Portia in the past, asking her directly if he could be Trina’s father. The timeline of their relationship in correlation with Trina’s age fits into place. But when confronted, Portia assured Curtis that Trina was Taggert’s daughter.

General Hospital spoilers hint that Curtis will discover a clue that will pique his curiosity on the topic, even after he was told by Portia that he was not Trina’s dad. Curtis has a knack for digging up dirt and discovering the truth about people and the parts of their lives they hope to keep hidden. This won’t be any different when it comes to Portia. Curtis is determined to uncover the truth, and this time it’s personal.

General Hospital News: Lockdown Has Got Maurice Benard Doing Crazy Things! Hilarious!

I think it’s safe to say most of us are losing it a little bit after being in quarantine for about three months. Stir crazy, bored, over it… those are just a few ways to describe what we are mostly feeling at this time. It’s so important to stay light and keep humor relevant in our lives during these times.
General Hospital’s Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) knows how to let loose, have some fun, and make the best out of a not so ideal situation.
We all have something (or a few somethings) we miss while business remain closed and our daily routines have come to a halt. I’m a recent Instagram post, Benard is shown getting his version of hair services during quarantine ?. Check out the hilarious video below!

General Hospital Spoilers: The Pregnancy No One Saw Coming

General Hospital spoilers revealed there will be an upcoming surprise pregnancy.
The obvious ladies include Molly Lansing Davis (Haley Pullos), due to her sticky situation with Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor) and TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow). Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) and Nelle Benson are also suspect it’s having an unplanned pregnancy now that they are both abruptly married.
General Hospital spoilers indicate there is yet another young woman that could be pregnant. Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) has been in a serious relationship for a good length of time with Peter August (Wes Ramsey). Maxie still remains blind to who Peter really is. Maxie is feeling nauseated and light headed, which are surefire soap opera signs of pregnancy- and nobody saw this coming. A baby for Peter and Maxie would be detrimental. Poor Maxie, she would be having a baby with Peter just to eventually find out he is a fraud, a criminal, a huge disappointment, and actually dangerous.
So much for hoping that Maxie and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) will soon see the light about Peter and Maxie being able to make a clean break from him.
A baby for Maxie and Peter isn’t only something no one saw coming. For the most part, this is something no one wants. As a GH fan, are you happy with Maxie having a baby with Peter?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina Plans To Testify Against Nelle, Heart Pendant Changes Everything

Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) is a master manipulator, a compulsive liar, and the town menace. Right now Nelle is working overtime to get Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) on her side so that she has a fighting chance in court.
Nelle is still lying, claiming Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) was the mastermind behind Wiley’s kidnapping.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Nina has no plans on taking Nelle’s side, and flat out tells Nelle she wants what’s best for Wiley- which is obviously not Nelle. However, Nelle has been seen in court gripping the heart shaped pendant in which Nina has the other half. General Hospital spoilers indicate Nina will notice Nelle holding the pendant and have a sudden change of heart. She’ll feel a connection, as that necklace represents the child she lost.
Although General Hospital rumors claim Nina’s daughter will turn out to be Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), Nina will see the necklace and believe Nelle is her child.
Will Nina let Nelle know what that necklace means to her? If so, will Nelle play Nina and pretend to be her daughter all while knowing she very well is not? How far will Nelle’s lies go?

General Hospital News: Daytime Emmy’s To Be Broadcast On Television!

There is a bright spot in all the sad news regarding General Hospital’s hiatus due to Covid-19. As we know, today is the last episode of GH until the cast and crew restart production. They are tentatively supposed to start taping in August.
On June 26th, the 47th Daytime Emmy Awards will air on CBS Network for the first time in FIVE years. The award show has spent many years in the back burner, only being able to be seen via Pop TV channel or streaming. In the past, the three main networks will trade off hosting this event, but before going to cable channels and stream, CBS became the home for the Daytime Emmy’s.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Daytime Emmy’s will be virtual, hosted, presented, and awards accepted, all from their homes!
This indeed is an exciting time for Daytime TV fans despite what’s going on around us. It’s definitely a silver lining!

General Hospital Spoilers: Olivia Is Hiding Something And Brook Lynn Wants Answers

Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) has been a little high strung lately due to the stress over her son, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna).

General Hospital spoilers and previews reveal Olivia’s step daughter, Brook Lynn Ashton Quartermaine (Amanda Setton), confronts Olivia on her recent suspicious behavior. Brook Lynn goes on to accuse Olivia that she is having an affair on Brook Lynn’s dad, Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth). That scenario is highly unlikely, leaving Brook Lynn way off base and out of line.

General Hospital rumors have been circulating around a certain character’s return. We recently reported that GH’s Dominic Zamprogna, who played Dante, is ready to bring his character home to Port Charles. There has been talk of Dante’s mental health situation and how Lulu (Emme Rylan) is handling her family and moving on without Dante.

Could Olivia he frazzled and acting suspicious due to information about Dante? She’s been trying to touch base with her son, only to get rejected by his silence.

The topic of Dante seems to be prominent lately, possibly leading up to his return. However, due to the current situation regarding Covid-19, it will be some time before any of this story is able to play out.

General Hospital News: Andy Cohen Responds To Backlash After ‘Story of Soaps’ Incident

Andy Cohen is under-fire for insensitive comments made during Prime-time special on the entire Soap Opera genre. “The Story of Soaps,” aired on Tuesday night with Andy Cohen as an interviewee.
Cohen recently took to Twitter to respond to backlash he is receiving from Soap Opera actors, crew, and fans alike. In response Cohen states, “I went to the interview as a soap fan prepped to talk soaps, and they asked about reality tv and I answered their questions. Sue me!”

In Tuesday night’s special, Cohen name dropped the legendary Susan Lucci, best known for her role as Erica Kane, in the iconic Daytime Drama, All My Children. Cohen says, “I know (Susan) Lucci doesn’t agree with me, but I think that the Housewives have replaced soap operas because truth is stranger than fiction. Soaps became kind of unnecessary because you could do it with real people, and they’re writing the drama themselves.”  
Twitter has been explosive with all the comments from soap fans, angrily tweeted about the utter disrespect for the genre. Fans are calling him the ‘biggest soap villain’ referencing the notorious daytime plots containing token bad guys.
General Hosputal’s Wally Kurth, who plays Ned Ashton and Laura Wright, aka, Carly Corinthos, weighed in on Twitter in a response to Soap Journalist, Carolyn Hinsey.

General Hospital News: See What Maurice Benard Misses During Lockdown, It’s The Little Things

This global pandemic has taught the people of our nation and even the world some hard lessons. A great takeaway from this whole situation is that almost everyone can say they miss the little things in life. Things that we have previously taken for granted, such as material things, services, or acts we enjoy, are a luxury to some, convenience to most, but also can be a necessity. Something as simple as a haircut or getting your hair blown out and styled by another human can really make a difference.
In a recent Instagram post, General Hospital’s, Maurice Benard, aka, Sonny Corinthos, displayed a video of his hairdresser and friend over at GH giving his hair a blow out.
In the caption, Benard writes, “Do you know how bad I want to get my hair blowdryed by my friend @hairby_anzhela

What do you miss most about your daily life you may have taken for granted?

General Hospital Spoilers: Julian Weighs His Options, Will He Risk Hurting Lucas And Foil Nelle’s Plan To Save Himself From Sonny?

Julian Jerome (William DeVry) is stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he didn’t do what Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) wanted and marry her, then she would tell all about his involvement in Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) and Lucas Jones’s (Ryan Carnes) car crash. Julian himself is the reason his son Lucas was almost killed in a crash and Nelle wants the entire city of Port Charles to know it. But what she wants more is getting her way.
In the latest General Hospital previews, Sonny (Maurice Bernard) gives a stern order. General Hospital spoilers hint that Sonny and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) know that Julian only married Nelle to keep a secret in the dark. Julian will have to choose between being Sonny’s target until the day he dies, or his son, Lucas finding out that he caused the accident.

Is Julian that afraid of Sonny and Jason? Probably. Will he purposely foil Nelle’s plan to help her get custody of Wiley, and deal with the fallout from Lucas, to save his own life?
