Since his memorable role as Todd Manning on ABC’s One Life To Live, Roger Howarth has been an icon and fan-favorite. Despite OLTL’s 2012 cancellation, Roger’s popularity grew. That’s because he landed himself a role on ABC’s longstanding General Hospital. Fast forward to today and we all know the rest.
General Hospital news and spoilers report that Roger Howarth’s GH exit caused quite a stir. So much backlash for TPTB flood social media platforms. No one wanted to see Roger go, and now the GH Executives are receiving backlash for their decision not to renew Roger’s contract.
According to GH news, GH fans petition Roger Howarth’s return. It’s true that there is a change.org petition to get Roger back on General Hospital. Evidently, fans are just as dismayed by losing Austin Holt as they were when Franco Baldwin was suddenly killed. It’s obvious the that common denominator is Roger Howarth. He’s a beloved actor in the Daytime Television community and GH fans aren’t ready or willing to let him go.
Our friends over at the General Hospital Blog Facebook Page have helped us by finding the petition link. Thank You, Judith Sugiura and Nancy Melman for sharing the link in our comments section!
What a surprise! Real ones know exactly how to bring a friend out of a funk, even if it’s temporary. Thanks to Robert, Anna was reminded of all that she’s thankful for. So, is Emma Drake back in Port Charles temporarily to brighten Anna’s Thanksgiving, or is she here to stay?
There’s no doubt that Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) is a true friend. Even more than that he is loyal and authentic. He’s there for Anna in good times and in bad, and he’d never betray her trust. On the other hand, Valentin Cassadine claims to love Anna but doesn’t think twice about compromising her well-being to suit his needs.
General Hospital recaps highlight the recent events that lead to Anna’s less-than holiday spirit. Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) has been down in the dumps after she accidentally shot Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez). Since Anna’s melancholia set in, she planned to spend Thanksgiving alone. Well, Robert couldn’t bear to see the mother of his child sulk in the dark, alone. So instead he took action and did what he could to cheer her up. Now that’s a friend.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Emma Drake and Cameron Webber (William Lipton) return and get swept away by romance. However, GH news has yet to confirm any rumors that claim Lipton’s returns GH. Additionally, Brooklyn Silzer is back, but the question is how long.
GH spoilers and news reports reveal Brooklyn Silzer’s statement regarding her GH status. Recently, Silzer spoke with Soap Opera Digest regarding her GH return. “My mom told me I was jumping for joy,” She admitted. GH spoilers reveal that Brooklyn Silzer also disclosed the duration of her time at the Daytime Emmy winning drama. “I was so excited to be back and see everyone! I was there for two days, and I was so glad I got to spend a little extra time with some of my favorite people, like [on-screen grandparents] Finola [Hughes, Anna] and Tristan [Rogers, Robert].”
Sadly, it looks like the all grown up Emma Drake was only here to brighten her grandparent’s holiday.
Reportedly, the 17 year old has been applying to nursing school. “I’m pretty busy with school,” Silzer explained. “I’ve been applying for nursing school. That takes up most of my time. I’m taking pretty hard classes this year, but I’m hoping to stay local for college, maybe I can come visit General Hospital more often. That would be really cool.” It’s kind of an ironic career choice she and admits that her time on General Hospital “definitely inspired” her career path. She continued to divulge her reasoning, “ever since I started, I’ve known I wanted to be a nurse, I think since I was six years old. I always said, ‘I want to be a nurse when I grow up,’ and it just stayed with me, and I’ve become more inspired as I’ve been doing volunteer work throughout my high school years.”
General Hospital news and spoilers report that Silzer conformed that she’s all about visiting GH more often. It’s obvious that her experience as Robin and Patrick Scorpio-Drake’s daughter has been a positive light her life, along with her GH family.
It’s never a dull moment in Port Charles, but excitement at this level should come with a warning! If you think that your family has holiday drama, then you need to take a seat and watch the Quartermaine family do Thanksgiving. As a General Hospital fan it’s just one of those things. If you know you know.
General Hospital Thanksgiving 2023
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Port Charles is right on track with the typical holiday season hijinks. The Quartermaine’s do not disappoint when they come together in celebration of the holiday. Despite the bickering, blackmail, and betrayal, the wild bunch is full of love for one another.
This year, the Q mansion has a little added spice to go around at this year’s Thanksgiving meal. Now that Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) is in town, the family has additional added Bensonhurst flare!
Previously, GH Blog shared the latest Thanksgiving spoilers. Robert came through for Anna in a big way! Brooklyn Silzer’s GH return took fans by surprise when Robert presented her to her grandmother. She’s just what Anna needs during this difficult time.
GH spoilers tease that there’s much more where today’s thrills came from! You won’t want to miss a beat when it comes to Thanksgiving in Port Charles!
Anna Devane has seen better days. Based on the nature of her work and her life as a whole, you’d think that Anna has had worse days as well. While that might be since she’s been through so much, there isn’t much worse than having shot a child. Anna’s really going through it and so she falls into a funk.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Anna deals with the guilt after she shot Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) daughter Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez). Clearly, the fault lies with Valentin as he neglected to come clean to Anna. GH recaps recall that Valentin knew for a good amount of time that his daughter was behind much of the suspicious attacks against Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). He and his trusted friend Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) conspited to conceal Charlotte’s crimes. Sadly, this lead to the tragedy that they now face.
According to General Hospital previews and spoilers, Anna is in a funk. She’s had a lot to deal with and what makes things worse is that she doesn’t even have Valentin to lean on anymore. Instead, she now deals with the reality of his betrayal. Thanksgiving is here and it’s time to celebrate with family and close friends. However, not everyone is up for celebrating. GH spoilers indicate that Robert comes through for Anna to pull her out of her funk. This Thanksgiving, Anna is thankful for friendship despite the hard times she’s going through.
Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) was doing the right thing after doing a many things wrong. Although Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, Austin still carried out criminal acts on top of the lies he told to Ava Jerome (Maura West). The thing is that Austin wasn’t a bad guy but he did bad things because Cyrus had the upper hand. After all, it was Cyrus who paid Austin’s way through medical school. But was it really worth it when Austin was never able to outrun his debt?
Earlier this week, General Hospital star Roger Howarth confirmed his GH exit and Austin Holt’s unexpected death. General Hospital recaps recall the latest storyline shocker! Dr. Austin Holt took the righteous path and was preparing himself to give Cyrus up to the PCPD in exchange for immunity. After all, he only commutes those crimes and told those lies because Cyrus and Mason (Nathanyael Grey) gave him no choice.
Austin Dies
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Howarth has filmed his final episode. His two and a half year run as the peculiar Dr. Austin Holt from Pautuck is over. But this isn’t the first time that Howarth’s role has been given the axe. The Daytime Emmy Winner is best known for his role as Todd Manning on One Life To Live. Since the Soap Opera’s 2012 cancellation, Howarth has played various Daytime TV roles. In fact, he became known for playing more than a couple characters on the same Soap. First Roger brought OLTL’s Manning to GH. Then, he was written off and he has played two other roles on GH following the Llanview legend. While General Hospital fans mourn Austin’s death and Howarth’s departure, hope remains that he returns as someone entirely new.
“Several weeks ago I got a phone call from somebody I’ve known for a very long time who I love very dearly [GH and OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini] telling me that when my contract was up at ABC I would not be offered a new contract and that the character of Austin would be killed, and that this was something they both wanted and needed to do to move story,” the iconic daytime television star revealed to Soap Opera Digest. “And it took me a minute to kind of adjust, to kind of hear the news; it took a second for me to let that settle in.
“And then, immediately, I realized how lucky I was to have been able to do something I really love doing for more than a decade with people who I really enjoyed working with,” Howarth continued. “I’m a lucky guy. I had a great run and this was a decision made by people who make these kinds of decisions for a living. For me, I felt it was very much like that scene in Moneyball and Jonah Hill had just told me I’ve been traded. I feel very respected and supported. For a long time, I’ve enjoyed coming to work, learning lines, and saying them with really cool people.”
Will Roger Return In His Fourth Role?
So much is to be said about a 30+ year acting career. Daytime Television has been luck to have a talent such as Roger. The best is yet to come!
Clearly, there is no bad blood between Howarth, Valentini, and TPTB over at GH. Roger’s statement clarifies any misunderstandings that may have developed through recent GH rumors. Although Roger cleared the air and shared the truth behind his GH exit, one thing remains uncertain. Soaps are known for some wild casting shifts. And it just so happens that Howarth is iconically known for his role change-ups. Three different roles on one drama is impressive but can he match co-star Michael Easton at four?
The General Hospital cast is full of family. Some get along, and some don’t. And some are super loyal, while others plot against each other.
Mostly, mothers and daughters have either a deep bond with unconditional love for one another, or a strong hatred that could go one or both ways. Moreover, some mother-daughter duos like Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Samantha McCall (Kelly Monaco) had to build their relationship back from below ground level. Similarly, Carly Corinthos and Bobbie Spencer aka Barbara Jean (the late Jackie Zeman), also started off on two wrong feet. However some mother-daughter relationships ew simply beautiful from the beginning. Take Carly and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) for example. There’s no doubt that those two spitfires are thick as thieves. Well shoot, count Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) in there too!
General Hospital news and spoilers highlight mommy-daughter relationship that is strong even outside the set of General Hospital. Rebecca Budig and her television daughter’s real life relationship is even close than that they share in screen. In fact, Violet Finn’s (Jophielle Love) on-screen mother left Port Charles and she’s been raised by her dad.
Will Hayden Return For Violet?
Additionally, Violet’s aunt Elizabeth has most definitely played a large role in her niece’s life. But Hayden isn’t the only one that Aunt Elizabeth has gotten closer to. Liz and Finn are officially a couple. While Violet is comfortable around Elizabeth, things will be different while Finn is busy fighting the lawsuit. GH spoilers and rumors tease that now is the perfect time for Hayden to return.
According to GH news and spoilers, Rebecca and Jophielle reunite. Rebecca and her tv daughter spent time together recently, but they weren’t alone. A recent Instagram post displays a highlight moment when Rebecca and Jophielle hung out with a bearded dragon.
Anna Devane is beside herself after she shot Valentin’s daughter Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez). It’s been months and months of back for Anna as she digs into her past. At any given moment there could be a new threat to her life so she has been digging into her past for possible answers.
The latest General Hospital recaps recall Anna’s desperate search for whoever is after her. She’s almost certain that someone from the WSB is out to get her after all these years. Anna stumbled upon the name Jameson Forsythe and was almost positive that he is the one wreaking havoc on her life. But she got hit with an unexpected reality check that questions her skills as an agent. How could she not figure this out?
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Anna continues to have difficulty wrapping her head around the truth. Not only is she shook to know that Charlotte is her stalker, but what’s more damning is the fact that Anna shot her. She struggles to process that she shot a child- and the child of the man she loves. But the latter is another story.
Charlotte Isn’t Anna’s Stalker
GH rumors and spoilers tease that Valentin and Anna might be over, but the threat against her life isn’t. It turns out that Charlotte didn’t burn Anna’s house. Instead, someone much more dangerous than a troubled child wants to see Anna squirm.
Recent GH spoilers tease that Anna’s instincts are spot on and that Jameson Forsythe is a name to keep on the front burner of her mind. Reflectively, at one point Anna and Sonny thought that someone could be after either of them, or even both. And the connection to the WSB may also involve one of Sonny’s enemies. Anna isn’t out of the woods yet and neither is Sonny. Cyrus Renault is still a threat while Anna’s stalker is at large as well. Is there a possible connection between Forsythe and Cyrus? According to GH rumors, Anna and Sonny team up to take down a new villain… and an existing enemy.
When it comes to top notch attorneys, Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) sets the bar high in Port Charles. She’s a shark of a lawyer and works tirelessly for her clients. And it doesn’t hurt that her biggest clients have her on retainer practically 24/7.
Diane came to Port Charles in 2007. She was hired to represent known mobster, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for the shooting of Lorenzo Alcazar (Ted King). But before Diane, there was Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Nancy Lee Grahn originate the role in 1996 with a recurring status on GH.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Diane goes up against one of the best attorneys around when she represents the Muldoon case. Thankfully, Finn finds the perfect lawyer. First, Finn turned to his friend and a former attorney for some advice. Granted she isn’t currently practicing law, Alexis didn’t forget how to hop on and peddle that bike. Unfortunately, Alexis’s information made Finn’s day go from terrible to ruinous. Now he is on the hunt for the perfect lawyer to defend him in the malpractice lawsuit filed against him and GH.
Alexis Battles Diane For Finn
According to GH spoilers and rumors, Finn’s career is on the line as he desperately searched for a sure fire win of an attorney. He seems to hit a dead and and begins to lose hope. That’s when his dear friend Alexis comes in. GH rumors tease that Alexis returns to law to help her friend. She knows what it’s going to take to save Finn’s entirely life’s work, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. Ultimately, Alexis and Diane see their day on court. Who will win?
Cameron Mathison is one of the most recognized names in daytime television. He’s also played roles in multiple Hallmark Channel movies, various television shows, and was also a talk show host. Arguably, his role as Ryan Lavery on ABC’s All My Children set his career into high gear. Prior to landing the role in 1998, Mathison worked as a male model.
Today, Cameron Mathison is General Hospital’s Drew Cain. He joined the now 60 year old daytime drama in April of 2021. Mathison took on the role of the now-late Billy Miller after that actor left the role in 2019.
GH’s Mathison Signs Multi Picture Deal With Great American Media
According to General Hospital news and spoilers, Mathison just added a major film project to his acting career. Reportedly, Christmas To Remember star Cameron Mathison is taking on film projects over the some time. According to the latest GH spoilers and news. Cameron Mathison’s multi picture deal with Great American Media extends to all platforms of the media company. He is said to take part in Great American Family and Great American Faith & Living. Additionally, Mathison’s projects include work on its streaming service, Great American Pure Flix.
We look forward to seeing more of Cameron Mathison in these upcoming projects! GH Blog will keep fans updated on any GH casting changes or news regarding Mathison’s GH status.
Earlier this year the soap opera community lost another icon. On May 9th 2023, General Hospital’s Jackie Zeman passed away at the age of 70. Reportedly, the three-time Daytime Emmy Award winner suffered a short and seemingly private battle with cancer.
GH’s Tribute to Jackie Zeman and Bobbie Spencer Delayed
Additionally, the obviously devastating news came amidst more misfortune for GH. That’s when GH news reports confirmed the 2023 WGA strike. Unfortunately, Zeman’s death rocked the daytime television community and its audience a week into the strike. At the time of her death, Jackie’s friends and family expressed their devastation and sorrows. Immediately, General Hospital fans began to inquire about Jackie Zeman’s tribute episode.
It’s been a half of a year since the actress’s passing and fans are sick of waiting. Social media platforms showcase fan’s concerns regarding a proper episode to honor the late Jackie Zeman. According to the latest GH news and spoilers, the WGA strike played a role in the delay. During this time, General Hospital used replacement writers as a defense against cancellation. Moreover, GH rumors claim that ABC and General Hospital Executives chose to wait until the strike ended before delving into the plans.
Previously, GH news reports confirm that the writer’s strike ended on September 27th, 2023. However SAG-AFTRA’s strike against AMPTP came to a close on November 9th.
According to GH spoilers and rumors, a GH tribute to Jackie Zeman and Bobbie Spencer is set to air in the near future. Please check back with GH Blog for any updates.
