General Hospital News: Rebecca Budig Posts Emotional Goodbye Message

Rebecca says goodbye to her fellow cast and GH fans

Earlier this month, General Hospital news reported the exit of long time Daytime TV star Rebecca Budig in her role as GH’s Hayden Barnes. On Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital, Hayden left Port Charles while leaving her daughter Violet behind. It was an emotional goodbye between Hayden and those she cares for and visa versa but she really doesn’t have a choice. With everything that has been going on with Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), Hayden is being threatened and staying in Port Charles just isn’t safe at this time. Hayden just introduced Violet to her father, Dr. Finn and his fiance Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), and although it’s breaking her heart to leave Violet, it’s best she stays behind with her dad. It’s a tough scenario on and off screen for the characters and actors alike. This is the second time Budig has exited from General Hospital. The door has been left open for her return, we can hold on to that and hope she returns sooner rather than later.

General Hospital Spoilers: Actress Katelyn MacMullen (Willow Tait) Speaks Out On Being Nina’s Daughter

Ever since Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) arrived in Port Charles, she has been haunted by the loss of her baby daughter she was told never made it. As GH viewers know the history, and that Nina’s daughter is actually alive and well out in this universe, it’s difficult for many fans to let go of hope that there is a daughter out there somewhere for Nina.

Nina’s most recent heartbreak involves Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson), the young woman who was put up by Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) to pretend to be Nina’s daughter. When the truth came out and the bombshell was dropped on Nina’s wedding day, Nina was beyond devastated and of course, lashed out at Sasha. As of now, Nina is leading on that she has no clue Valentin was involved with this huge lie that turned Nina’s life and emotions upside down.

General Hospital rumors have played around with the idea Nina knows what Valentin has done, and for now she is playing dumb. However, that is still uncertain.

At this point, Nina is sick and tired of the tug of war on her heart after losing a child and then thinking Sasha is her long lost daughter, only to lose yet again. Good news! There may be hope for Nina and her daughter reuniting! In an interview with Soaps In Depth, actress Katelyn MacMullen had something interesting to say about her character Willow Tait possibly being Nina’s daughter. In reply to the possibility that Willow could be Nina’s daughter, MacMullen said, “That would be insane. It would be a huge twist… except people are expecting it, right? Because why do Willow and Nina hate each other so much? It’s be cool!”

There are so many possibilities for this story line and it seems the actress would be excited to dive into this direction as Nina’s daughter. Katelyn MacMullen even agrees that having her character Willow and Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) become sisters on screen would be “best case scenarios,” and says that she and Sofia want a story line together!

Setting Willow Tait to be Nina’s daughter is a viable option but has not yet been confirmed. If the writers take note as to where Willow’s portrayer, MacMullen would like to see this character head, there is a great possibility this could be the path they choose.

What do you think? Is enough enough? Should the writers leave poor Nina’s character alone with it comes to finding her daughter? Or should she be written to finally have that happy reunion?

General Hospital Spoilers: Violet’s Dad is Actually Who?!?!

Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig) waltzes back into Port Charles after being gone for so long, and keeping her whereabouts a secret from her ex, Dr. Finn (Michael Easton). Where she had been was not the only secret Hayden was hiding. Thankfully though, it didn’t take her long to come forward to Finn about having a daughter. And to the fan’s delight, Hayden also didn’t take 3 years (soap opera exaggeration here haha) to finally drop the bomb on Finn that Violet (Jophielle Love) his also his daughter. However, there is some gray area when it comes to Violet’s father.

Some may have forgotten that Hayden Barnes was married to Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) at the time of his “death.” She is is widow, and therefore, now that he is actually still alive, he is still her husband. What does that mean for little Violet? According to General Hospital spoilers, Nikolas’ return to Port Charles will make things very difficult for Finn and his relationship with his and Hayden’s daughter, Violet, because legally, Nikolas would be Violet’s father.

Nikolas isn;t the most generous or easy going man especially when it comes to Hayden. He plays dirty to get what he wants. Although they are working together toward the same goal, (taking down Valentin Cassadine), Nikolas and Hayden are still at odds on a personal level. Does Nik have it in him to try and keep Finn away from Violet?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina is Playing Valentin

It would be an understatement to say that Jax was disappointed when he heard straight from Nina’s mouth, that she and Valentin were back together. Despite everything Nina went through on her wedding day, humiliation, betrayal, she is now back together with the one who is behind all her pain. At first she refused to believe Valentin had anything to do with the scam regarding Sasha being her biological daughter. Now it looks as though Nina may be smarter than the character wants the fans to believe at first glimpse.

On Monday’s episode of General Hospital (10/21), Jax, Nina, and Valentin had quite the exchange. Nina says out loud that she believes Sasha was also lying to Valentin with the help of a friend. Jax outtight opposes and Nina shuts Jax down and says it’s none of his business, then leaved the two men alone while she works

When Nina returns, Valentin asks is she is ready to go, and she tells him she will be a bit behind. During that exchange, the dialogue seemed very scripted, even for an actual script. The look on Jax’s face after Nina tellls Valentin she will catch up with him after she runs a few things by Jax is priceless. Either Jax is simply pleased Nina didn’t just run off and leave with Valenin, or he and Nina are in on playing Valentin. I don’t know how far Nina will get in trying to pull the wool over Valentin (if that’s what she’s even doing). Valentin didn’t look too pleased when Nina wasn’t ready to leave with him. It almost looked like he could sense she was up to something.

General Hospital spoilers have hinted a “sneaky revenge” from Nina. What exactly does she have in the works?

Check out the scene below

Sasha Owns Up to Her Lies

Lulu finally was able to muster up the courage to disclose the shocking secret she over heard in the bathroom of The Floating Rib. Nina reacted in a way that many fans predicted. On her wedding day, Nina was hit in the face with the hard truth about Sasha, the young woman she has been led to believe was her long lost daughter. Lulu came to the church on a mission to expose Sasha, as well as her hunch that Valentin is also behind this from the very beginning. He used Sasha as a pawn to win Nina over when their relationship was in disarray. Now they are about to say ‘I do’ and there is no worse timing than the present for the truth to finally come out.

Nina is denial, and is furious with Lulu for trying to ruin her wedding day. In today’s episode of General Hospital, Nina is face to face with Sasha and demands to know the truth.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Sasha will come clean and tell Nina she is in fact not her daughter. The question remains whether or not Sasha will throw the groom-to-be under the bus and tell Nina he has been behind this lie from the very beginning.

Things are looking pretty grim in terms of Nina and Valentin’s anticipated wedded bliss.

Nina has already been through the worst when it comes to her baby girl. She has already lost her once when she was put in the coma and told her baby had died. Now she is losing a daughter all over again, and the lies are from the lips of the one she loves.

General Hospital Spoilers: Claudette Has Something that Belongs to Valentin Cassadine

claudetteEver since Claudette (Bree Williamson) set foot in Port Charles, she has done nothing but lie to everyone in town. She has ties with Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) and Griffin Monroe (Matt Cohen), both being her ex-lovers. Her first lie started with Nathan’s fiance, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) when she went on an interview to work at Crimson, pretending to have no clue who Maxie was or that she had any involvement with her ex-husband, Nathan. Her lies progressed after time, as soon enough, she dropped a bombshell on Nathan, telling him she had a daughter, Charlotte, and that he was the father. That is when she disclosed she is on the run from a dangerous man she was previously involved with, named Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). After Maxie followed her instincts and proved Claudette was lying about Nathan being Charlotte’s father, Claudette switched gears and is now claiming that Port Charles doctor/priest, Griffin is actually the father. No one’s buying that one either, except maybe Griffin.

One thing Claudette isn’t lying about is the fact that she is on the run from the lethal Valentin Cassadine. Unfortunately, Maxie has gotten caught in the mix up because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maxie went to Claudette’s room, and was taken by surprise as she was grabbed by a man who is working for Valentin. He assumed Maxie was Claudette and captured her to get to Charlotte.

Valentin is back in Port Charles, and wants something from Claudette. General Hospital spoilers reveal Valentin’s real target isn’t Claudette herself, but her ‘daughter’, Charlotte. General Hospital rumors have been circulating, involving another major Port Charles family. The age old Cassadine/Spencer family rivalry is an ongoing story that has lasted decades. It’s highly possible that Charlotte isn’t Claudette’s child at all, and some GH rumors even hint that Charlotte belongs to Lulu and Stavros, or Lulu and Valentin, as Lulu’s frozen embryo was in the possession of the Cassadines.

Why would Claudette be involved? It’s still uncertain why Claudette would have Lulu’s child and try to pass her off as her own, but we do know that Nathan is a Cassadine, and that Claudette would have involvement with the Cassadines because she was once married to Nathan.

Has Claudette stolen Charlotte? Could the child belong to Lulu Spencer Falconeri, via her frozen embryo?

Let us know your thoughts on this story. What does Valentin really want with Claudette and Charlotte? Will Lulu finally get the sibling for Rocco she has always wanted? How will Dante feel if he is not the biological father of Lulu’s child? So many things to ponder! Post your thoughts in the comments!

Scarlett Fernandez Joins GH as Claudette’s Daughter. Is Nathan Really the Father?

charlotteClaudette (Bree Williamson) dropped a bomb on Nathan (Ryan Paevey), Maxie (Kirsten Storms), and Griffin (Matt Cohen), telling them she had a daughter and either Nathan or Griffin were the father. A DNA test revealed that Nathan West is Charlotte’s father, and Maxie broke into tears when discussing the outcome with Griffin.

Claudette isn’t known for her honesty, which leaves room for a tampered DNA test story.

Claudette is on the run from Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and wants Nathan to protect “their” child, perhaps telling Nathan he is Charlotte’s father is her only way of getting him to help. GH rumors speculate that Claudette and Dr. Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) are working together in this baby drama.

If not Nathan, who? Claudette did say she was briefly involved with this dangerous man (Valentin). Could Charlotte be the newest Cassadine?

Scarlett Fernandez is set to make her General Hospital debut on October 13th.
