The TRUTH About Why Steve Burton Left General Hospital

The last few weeks have been crazy with the announcement of Billy Miller (ex Y&R star), coming to General Hospital. It has been rumored for months that Miller would replace Steve Burton as the legendary mob enforcer, Jason Morgan.

In a recent interview with TV Guide’s Michael Logan, Steve Burton wanted to set the record straight and let everything know why he left General Hospital. He said that money was definitely an issue, and when it was time for Burton’s contract to be up, executives over at General Hospital were not willing to negotiate. Burton said to Logan, “What you and I both know – that ‘GH’ didn’t make a deal with me. And that’s the truth. My contract was up and they didn’t want to play ball and make it work. At the time, I didn’t want to throw anyone under the bus over there but of course, as soon as it was announced I was going to “Y&R,” people thought the whole thing was planned by Jill on Day 1, which it was not.” Steve Burton stated that he did not necessarily want to leave his 20 year role of Jason Morgan and that GH had the opportunity to bring him back. That being said, he wants fans to know that going to The Young and the Restless was not a set up between himself and Jill Farren Phelps. Burton did what was best for himself and for his family at that time.

Steve Burton is now happy over at The Young and the Restless although sad that things didn’t work out for him over at General Hospital. It has been said that the door is always open for Burton at GH, but for now he will be staying at Y&R as Dylan.

 

 

Victor Cassadine Returns! Who Will He Bring With Him?

Actor Thaao Penghlis who plays Victor Cassadine on General Hospital will be returning to Port Charles. He was recently in town to blackmail Robin Scorpio Drake into helping his fellow Cassadines come “back to life.” Stavros Cassadine are frozen in a facility… the same facility where Victor told Robin her dear friend Jason was being held. With his body being in the same state as the Cassadine clan, Victor presented Robin with the option of saving Jason’s life as well as helping Stavros. Robin thought Jason Morgan was dead, so of course this all came as a shock to her. Robin agreed to leave with Victor even though she had just been reunited with her family after being help captive.

Who will Victor bring with him to Port Charles this time around? There must be a purpose for his return. Therefore, does this mean Robin did her job and she can come home to her family? Maybe Robin AND Jason will be returning to Port Charles and shock the town.

When Kimberly McCullough left GH, she stated that she wanted her role to be left open so that she can return. She was working on another project but said she would be happy to return to General Hospital when she was done. With the recent news involving cast confirmation of Billy Miller to GH, this all could mean that BOTH characters will be due to return.

Comment below and let us know what you think! Is it time for Robin and Jason to return to their families?

 

Rafe Has a Flashback

Patrick, Sabrina, and Emma were on their way home from Emma’s recital when someone ran their car off the road. Sabrina ended up going into labor at 26 weeks gestation. Sadly, after spending some time in the NICU at General Hospital, baby Gabriel passed away. Now everyone wants to know who is behind the accident that caused Patrick and Sabrina to go off the road, inadvertently killing their son.

Sam is on a mission to help her good friend Patrick figure out who did this to them. In casual conversation, Sam mentions the situation to Rafe, and at that moment he has a very strong look of guilt written all over his face.

In a recent spoiler, information suggests that Rafe has a disturbing flashback/memory. Since we have scene that he has gotten himself into bad habits like stealing money to pay for and use drugs, it isn’t far fetched to make the assumption that he was the one behind the wheel that night, causing Sabrina and Patrick’s accident. The troubled teen has been on a downward spiral ever since the death of his Mother and being rejected by the girl he loves, Molly.

Could this memory be a flashback to what happened the night of the accident? It seems as if the drugs are clouding his mind and judgement. Perhaps Rafe is the one that caused the accident. Keep watching General Hospital on ABC to find out the truth behind the drama.

 

 

 

Is GH’s Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) Taking Time Off?

This information is not concrete, but more of a rumor that has been circulating among the General Hospital fans. Word out on the street is that Maurice Benard will be taking about 6 months off of his role as Sonny Corinthos and heading out of Port Charles! Why? you ask, well speculations suggest that the time will be used to promote a movie Maurice is in. Apparently Maurice is working on a project that he will be soon able to tell fans about.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans posted with any upcoming or solid information verifying or denying this rumor. Keep checking in with us and LIKE us on Facebook!

According to a recent Tweet, Maurice made the indication that he has filmed something he can’t wait to share with fans. Check it out below!

 

 

Bring Out The Britch!

Just when Britt Westbourne seems to be trying to redeem herself in the eyes of Nikolas, (and the fans), she takes a step (or 10) back and is starting to revert back to her old ways. The very sight of Elizabeth and Nikolas talking, embracing, or anything makes Britt’s blood boil. She approached Elizabeth while at work, picking childish arguments with her out of jealousy after seeing Nik console Liz with an embrace. Nik gave Britt the cold shoulder when she tried to make small talk. He accused her and Brad of scheming once again and you could see the embarrassment and fury in Britt’s body language.

Instead of learning from her mistakes, and continuing to try to make Nikolas forgive her by doing the right things, Britt will most likely bring out The Britch once again. She has a goal and that goal is to get her man back. It looks as though Britt will stop at nothing, including trash talking, lying, and scheming to get what she wants once again. Do you think she will be successful in winning Nik back if she takes this route? For the character’s sake, hopefully she doesn’t listen to her good friend Brad and she leaves the ways of The Britch far behind her. Watching Britt act like The Britch is actually very entertaining. Kelly Thiebaud is a great actress, we love to hate her and she puts such humor into her scenes. What do you think Britt will do to try and get Nikolas back? What will is cost Elizabeth?

Is Kiki Nina’s Daughter?

Ever since Nina made her abrupt appearance in the park a few days ago, it’s undeniable that there is something off about the woman. She doesn’t act how one would expect coming straight out of a 20 year coma. She seems to have her mind set on one thing and one thing only…Silas.

Nina expects everything to fall right back into place after 20 years, as if the world around Silas stood still for as long as she was in a coma. She is really over doing it to the point where it looks like she is doing it on purpose. Before the tragedy happened, she knew their marriage wasn’t perfect. She was aware of the fact that Silas had an affair with Ava Jerome, so why would she think everything would be great between the two of them now? It has been said that Nina knows a lot more than she is letting on and fans have been speculating as to what exactly she knows.

Today, Nina talked about her baby that she lost when she over dosed on the medication (given to her by her own Mother, Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills)). She reflected on the past and after meeting Kiki, Silas’ daughter with Ava, she was saddened by the fact that Ava had his baby and she was supposed to and didn’t. Perhaps Nina knows and is keeping it a secret, or maybe she doesn’t, but what if Kiki is not Ava’s daughter at all? What if Madeline and Ava played it off as if Kiki was Ava’s child? Rumors have been circulating that Madeline and Ava stole Nina’s baby to pass it off as Ava’s, maybe so that Nina would divorce Silas for not only cheating on her, but for getting another woman pregnant.

General Hospital Blog wants to know what fans think about this theory. Weigh in my sharing this post and commenting below.

The Identity of ‘Fluke’ aka Fake Luke Spencer

There are many rumors circulating in regard to the true identity of the man impersonating Lucas Lorenzo Spencer, better known as the legendary Luke Spencer. The most popular guess or suggestion among fans is the character Bill Eckert. Bill Eckert was Luke’s cousin, therefore they have an uncanny resemblance to one another. This would make a lot of sense since he already shares Luke’s physical attributes.

There is supporting evidence that may help prove this theory to be correct. Back when Bill was in Port Charles he was part of the Cartel with Brenda Barrett’s Father Harlan Barrett. Since the bank roll connection lead to Barrett Enterprises, this could be yet another connection to it all.

In Friday’s episode of General Hospital Fluke spoke directly into the camera while answering Luke’s question of who he is. He responded to Luke by saying, “I have your face.” Could that be an inclination of his true identity? Since Luke’s cousin Bill Eckert literally has his face, is that what the fans were supposed to catch on to?

On Monday, when Bobbie was arguing with Julian, telling him to stay away from Lucas, Julian said something to Bobbie that got fans thinking. Bobbie told Julian he is too dangerous and to stay away from Lucas. She blamed him for Lucas being shot. At that point, Julian stated that he is his Father and that Lucas is in more danger from HER family now. Since Bill Eckert is Luke’s cousin, he is part of Bobbie’s family.

Other evidence supporting this fan theory is an interview from 1993. In an interview with Pure Soap, Tony Geary discusses his disappointment in the story line involving Bill Eckert and the death of the character. Since Tony Geary wasn’t too find of the character dying, perhaps this is GH’s way to bring Bill Eckert back for a while in hopes to redeem the memory of him.

Check out this video from 1993 and decide for yourself. Is Fluke really Bill Eckert? Comment below and let us know your thoughts!

Find Out What’s Going on with Luke!

Do you want to know what has been going on with Luke Spencer? His family and friends are noticing a change in his behavior. The fans have speculated things such as Luke being brainwashed, drugged, or that the man walking the streets of Port Charles and calling himself Luke is actually an imposter. What we do know is that Luke is really “Fluke,” or fake-Luke if you will. Bottom line is Luke is not really Luke and today on General Hospital there will be the big reveal.

Fans have been trying to guess who is behind all of this. We have heard rumors such as Bill Eckert, Stavros Cassadine, Helena Cassadine, and more! If you have any ideas of who the Fluke man really is, please comment below and share with us on our Facebook page!

The Awakening of Nina Clay

In the next few days we will be introduced to Silas’ wife, Nina Clay, (played by actress Michelle Stafford). Last week, Silas received a mysterious bouquet of flowers that were sent to the hospital. The card read, “I miss you, Love, Me.” At first he thought they were from Sam. When Sam told Silas she did not send the flowers, Sam started to wonder who they could be from and why. She realized that it has to be someone who knows Silas quite well for the person to sign the card with “Me.”

Silas believes that his wife Nina passed away because her Mother, Madeline Reeves told him that she died after being in a coma for over 20 years. We the fans know that Madeline was the one who put Nina in that coma because she was pregnant.

Sam and Silas seem to be very happy in their relationship. Now that Nina is alive and awake, what will this mean for the new couple?

Let us know what you think of Silas, Sam, and Nina triangle!

Steve Burton Not Thrilled About ‘Jason Morgan’ Recast

There has been a lot of talk in the last couple of months that the role of Jason Morgan will be recast in the near future. Recently fans have learned that Jason is not actually dead but he is frozen along with some Cassadines. Victor Cassadine has called upon one of Jason’s oldest and best friends, Robin Scorpio to help him help Helena and Stavros (who are in the same predicament as poor Jason). Robin agreed to help in order to save Jason.

With Robin off to God knows where with Victor Cassadine working on saving her friend, the fans are wondering what is going to happen with the role of Jason Morgan. Will he be recast? Will Steve Burton reprise the role? Last month Steve Burton announced on Twitter that he is staying put at The Young and the Restless.

It has been rumored that ex Y & R star, Billy Miller would the the first choice to take on the role of Jason. Although Steve Burton isn’t thrilled about some else filling his shoes as the iconic mob enforcer, he did make a statement regarding Billy Miller. Burton recently told Soaps in Depth, “When all that talk was going on, I said to myself ‘Billy would be perfect.’ It’s a character I played for a long time, and I have a huge emotional connection to him and the people there. It’d be weird to see, but they have to do what they have to do. I understand that.

Now that we have Steve’s blessing to recast Jason with actor Billy Miller, what do the fans think about this potential recast?
