It looks like we will be seeing less of yet another GH actor/character we love to see light up our screen.
Along with the news that Kelly Thiebaud (Dr. Britt Westbourne) is now on recurring status, along with long time GH vet, John J. York (Mac Scorpio aka Uncle Mac), it has been confirmed that Marc Anthony Samuel (Felix DuBois) will also be placed on recurring status with General Hospital.
As of now, these actors are not leaving General Hospital entirely, they just have not signed/renewed a contract with the soap. We will still be seeing them, they will just be involved in less of the story lines.
What do you think about all the sudden changes that have been going on with the actors’ contracts on General Hospital? Let us know your thoughts by leaving comments below.
It seems like there are a lot of changes happening over at the set of General Hospital. As confirmation of Kelly Thiebaud’s status change with General Hospital has been revealed, more changes are about to become public. Kelly isn’t the only actor placed on recurring status with the popular daytime soap.
General Hospital vet, John J. York who plays the long time charmer, Mac Scorpio, has been on recurring status since the beginning of October.
The list of General Hospital ins and outs is ever changing and it seems as though there is always an actor on his/her way in and one on their way out. Fortunately, John J. York will not be leaving his role as “Uncle Mac” behind, we will just be seeing a little less of him on screen.
When we hear the name Levi Dunkleman (Zachary Garred), it sends shivers down our spine. Levi has been the most hated character on General Hospital in recent history. Some love to hate him, and others just completely despise the lying, manipulating, psychotic, freak. Either way, it just goes to show that Zachary Garred has done an amazing job making everyone believe that he is a wretched slime ball.
Levi’s real name is Peter Harrell Jr., and he is the son of Felicia Jones’ (Kristina Wagner) ex-fiance Peter Harrell (Judson Scott). Levi’s father Peter set Levi out on this mission to destroy the Jones/Scorpio family. He targeted Felicia’s daughter, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) when she was on her eat, pray, love quest to find herself after losing custody of her own daughter. Dunkleman had Maxie fooled into believing he was this peace making, yoga practicing, soul saving vegetarian. Almost everyone around Maxie could see through Levi, including her roommate Nathan West (Ryan Paevey), her two best friends, Dante and Lulu Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna and Emme Rylan), and her Uncle Mac Scorpio (John J. York).
After being duped into marrying Levi, and almost going through with it, Maxie, Lulu, Dante, and Nathan all fell victim to Levi and his father, Peter Harrell. They had Maxie and Nathan chained up to a wall as Stavros took over with Lulu and Dante to impregnate her with an embryo. Maxie was able to go free and search for help as Nathan stayed behind. She found herself in a hospital room which led to where all the drama unfolded. There in a hospital bed lay Peter Harrell himself, and in walks Levi. The two explained how they were going to kill her to take something precious away from Felicia, has Felicia took something precious from Peter in the past. Maxie’s Knight in Shining Armor appeared just in time and saved her before Peter could kill her with an Aztec sword. Ultimately, the tables turned and the joke was on Levi. Nathan shot his father, and as Levi was about to shoot Nathan, Maxie was behind him and charged, stabbing him in the back.
Ding Dong Dunkleman is DEAD… or is he? Do you think Maxie had what it takes to succeed in killing Levi? For many fans, it seems to good to be true to be rid of this character once and for all. If Dunkleman is dead, he will truly be missed as being an exceptional villain. Nothing has been confirmed on the departure of actor Zachary Garred from General Hospital. We will keep you updated with any news confirming or denying Garred leaving GH. For now, let’s just wait and see if Dunkleman is gone for good.
Cesar Faison. Just hearing (or reading) that name makes me shudder. Faison has been played by actor Anders Hove since 1990. He has been causing trouble for the residents of Port Charles, mainly, Luke Spencer (Tony Geary), Anna DeVane (Finola Hughes), Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan), and Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) from 1990-1990, then from 1999-200, and more recently in 2012.
Faison left the canvas not too long ago when Anna, Robert, and Duke got their revenge. Dr. Leisl Obrecht suspects that Anna, Robert, and Duke had a hand in the demise of Cesar Faison. Anna has never directly came out to say that Faison is dead. Faison has many ties to the residents of Port Charles now more than ever. Together, Dr. Obrecht and Faison share a child, daughter, Britta Westbourne. She resides in Port Charles and has been on and off involved with Prince Nikolas Cassadine.
Could Faison be Fluke? Rumors have been circulating and focusing on a few individuals who may indeed be the fake Luke. The theory of Jerry Jacks has been addressed, but here is some more food for thought. Faison has always had it out for Luke. He has always despised Mr. Spencer and even abducted his son Lucky under the order of Helena Cassadine. In past years, Faison arranged for Felicia Jones to be abducted in order to distract her husband Frisco. We also know that Faison is responsible for shooting Jason when he fell into the water off Pier 52.
Robin Scorpio, Mac Scorpio, Luke Spencer, Felicia Jones, Helena Cassadine, and more have all been involved with Faison. Since Victor is working on bringing Helena back from her frozen state, she has been rumored to return to GH along with Stavros. If Faison is Fluke, the story has the potential to tie all of these characters together, just like in the past. It would make sense that Robin is involved and has been forced to work under Victor Cassadine’s order. It makes sense that Maxie Jones (daughter of Frisco and Felicia and step-daughter of Mac) was a target in Levi’s plan to steal Felicia’s Aztec jewelry.
With all this connection to the resident of PC coming to light, do you think Cesar Faison is out for revenge in the form of Luke Spencer? Comment below and let us know your thoughts!
John J. York first entered the General Hospital canvas about 23 years ago in 1991. His character, Mac Scorpio has many Port Charles connections including, Robert Scorpio, Frisco Jones, Felicia Jones, Robin Scorpio Drake, Maxie Jones, and more. Mac is definitely a fan favorite. He is the good guy, the warm hearted father and uncle that everyone just wants to hug. Mac has always been there for Robin, Maxie, and the late Georgie, and is consistently trying to steer those girls into the right direction. Recently, Mac had been trying to convince Maxie that Levi is no good for her. He has changed her from the inside, and not in a good, self growth kind of way. Maxie didn’t see it that way, as she met Levi when she was very vulnerable. She was down and out about losing custody of her daughter, baby Georgie, to Georgie’s father, Spinelli. She thought Levi helped her through her dark days, when in actuality, he was creating more sorrow and misfortune in her life. Maxie learned her lesson when on her wedding day, Levi was exposed for the scheming con artist he really is. Levi was out to get Felicia’s Aztec jewels and he used Maxie to get there. Many fans have been questioning an even deeper motive that Levi may have for reeking havoc on the residents of Port Charles. Fans also want to know who he is connected to, and who his father is. In a recent interview with Michael Fairman, John J. York touches on some of those concerns.
In the interview, Michael Fairman flat out asks York if he thinks that Levi is Mac’s son. John J. York replied, “I don’t thinks so, but it would be crazy if he was. How ironic if Levi is a little mysterious rogue kind of pirate like Mac was when he first came on the show.” Levi being Mac’s son just wouldn’t mesh well with the story. Levi seems like pure evil and Mac is a good guy. Unless Levi is a disgruntled, long lost child…
John J. York went on about how much he likes actor Zachary Garred (Levi Dunkleman). In regards to the backlash Garred has been receiving from fans about his character, Levi, York said, “I love the story, and I love Zachary. He’s great! You have to embrace the bad guy, and he got a lot of flack from fans at first. Many people for hundreds of years have gone through that. Some people didn’t like Susan Lucci when she played the more villainess side of Erica Kane on All My Children. So there is that love/hate thing, but Zachary is awesome.”
That “fake” Australian accent has been a hot topic on social media among fans. We know that Levi’s portrayer, Zachary Garred is in fact Australian, so therefore his accent is real. But on the show, the character has been pretending to have an Australian accent, and when he revealed his true colors, the accent was dropped. Michael Fairman pointed out that when Mac first arrived in Port Charles, he too had an Australian accent. “That’s right … Mac did too! So there are a lot of things that are going to be surprises coming up!” York responded.
There has to be a deeper, more dramatic reason for Levi to be in Port Charles than Maxie and Felicia’s priceless Aztec jewels. Perhaps his extreme skills of manipulation and scheming is a lovely trait passed down from a previous generation.
In a recent interview with Michael Fairman, Zachary Garred touched on the possibility of being connected to Port Charles by his biological Father. Michael Fairman asked, “So, Mac Scorpio (John J. York) really despises Levi! He has had him pegged from the beginning. What if turns out that Mac is really Levi’s father? Oh, the irony!” In response, actor Zachary Garred said, “Oh! If I could wish to be the son of somebody it would be John J. York (Mac) who is wearing a white pink checkerboard sort of golf pants right in front of us! I love him. Actually, that is the kind of guy I would like to have as my dad.” He later continued on to say that he is the son of someone in PC, but cannot say who.
Zachary warns that along with Levi’s new haircut also comes some new behavior.
