General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Carly’s about to get blindsided. According to the wrest GH spoilers, Carly’s surprise business partner throws her for a loop. Surely, she purchased the establishment from her mom, but some GH rumors claim she’s not the sole owner. Instead, it’s likely that Bobbie shared ownership with her brother Luke (Tony Geary). However, since his alleged passing, word of his assets have not been addressed. Did Luke own the other half of Kelly’s along with his sister Barbara Jean Spencer (Jackie Zeman)? If so, Tracy Quartermaine just might have a new business venture on er hands!
Carly initiates Cameron’s return! Cameron Webber (William Lipton) went off to college and to play college soccer. He may have lost Josslyn, but he’s got a bright future ahead of him. Now, he’s headed home for a little while.
General Hospital spoilers tease that Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is thrown for a loop when her ex-boyfriend comes back to Port Charles. She and Cam weren’t on the best of terms upon his departure. In fact, what happened between them became a factor in his decision to leave. Last time he checked, Joss was still with Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), the guy she fell for as she was falling out of love with Cam. That can’t be easy to swallow. But Cameron has had some time to sit with the situation and is stronger than when he left.
According to GH spoilers, Carly initiates Cameron’s return to Port Charles. Now that she owns Kelly’s she’s going to need to be shown the ropes from someone who knows how it all works. Before he left for college, Cameron pretty much ran the diner by himself, leaving him with a lot of experience.

Carly buys Kelly’s from Bobbie! Life came at Carly pretty hard the last few years. She lost her husband and her hotel to a lying fraud. On top of it all, she faced Federal charges for insider trading, and her boyfriend is doing time. Thanks Nina! ????????
It’s been rough but Carly knows how to get back on her feet. Undoubtedly, Carly Spencer (formerly Corinthos) pulls through her hardships and comes out on top. GH spoilers hint that Carly’s epic bounce-back starts with Kelly’s Diner.
Back in the 1980s, General Hospital introduced Port Charles hotspot, Kelly’s Diner. It was founded by Paddy and Rose Kelly, and by 1984, it was owned by Ruby Anderson. From then on, the Spencer family has carried on the business name.
Currently, the waterfront diner remains one of the most popular grub restaurants stops in Port Charles, and remains a family-owned business. According to General Hospital spoilers, Carly buys Kelly’s from Bobbie for a dollar! In a heartwarming scene, Carly told her daughter Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) that she is now the proud new owner of Kelly’s!
GH Script Foreshadows Fate
According to General Hospital news, Laura Wright opened up about the her current storyline. Coincidentally, Bobbie’s involvement in Carly’s comeback happens to include a symbolic gesture giving Jackie Zeman’s passing. As GH rumors claimed that Carly and Bobbie’s transaction was written as nod after Jackie’s death, Laura Wright shuts down the rumors.
The iconic leading lady shed some light on Carly’s current storylines, and its relationship to Jackie Zeman’s unexpected death. Laura Wright tells Soap Opera Digest, “This whole beat was written before Jackie passed away. They have not had the character of Bobbie die and Carly doesn’t inherit Kelly’s from the character, which would have been a beautiful thing, but this was a choice made by the writer’s awhile ago.”
It’s comforting to think that the script foreshadows fate. It’s almost like they somehow knew that having a Carly buy Kelly’s from Bobbie would be of greater significance. Keep checking back for updates the developing stories.

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.

Lucy Coe and the Nurses Ball go together like Nutella and a spoon. On the 60th anniversary of GeneralHospital, it’s most imperative that Lucy takes part in the main event. Unfortunately, undesirable circumstances keep Lucy from doing what she needs to do.
General Hospital star Lynn Herring’s iconic portrayal of Lucy Coe began in 1986. Not even a decade later, Lucy hosted the very first Nurses Ball. Over the years, the Deception mogul’s hard work and dedication has made the legendary event what it is today.
This year, GH’s cast and crew prepare for the show’s 60th year on air! Similarly, Port Charles get ready to celebrate the hospital’s milestone at this year’s Nurses Ball.

The Nurses Ball needs Lucy and she can’t resist the temptation! General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Lucy escapes Anna and Valentin to come to the rescue. Letting Maxie and Bobbie take over is something she just won’t do.
