“Why I Left General Hospital” Kristen Alderson’s Video Explanation to Fans

Last weekend, it came as a shock to us all that actress Kristen Alderson would be leaving her role as Kiki Jerome on General Hospital. Alderson has been with the ABC network since she was 6 years old, working on the now canceled daytime drama, One Life to Live.
In a report last week, General Hospital Blog relayed Kristen’s message to fans that she would be making a goodbye video, explaining the reasons behind her departure. In the mean time, real life boyfriend Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos) sent out a tweet to Soap Opera Digest, informing the magazine, and fans, that this was entirely Kristen’s decision. The actress had not been let go from GH, but rather she decided to take her life into a new direction.
In her goodbye message, Alderson explains to fans that she has been with ABC soaps since she was 6 years old, she is now 23, and is ready to challenge herself in her career.
Check out her thoughtful, heartfelt video to her fans.
Here are some direct quotes from Kristen, be sure to check out the full goodbye video message below!
“It’s not because of the cast and crew, I can tell you that.”
“A spur of the moment kind of epiphany.”
“I never challenged myself to do other things.”
“I’m prepared for the worst, I’m prepared for any failures.”
“I love you guys so much. I always cared about you.”

Michael Quartermaine?

The aftermath of the Corinthos family shake up has torn Michael away from the ones he loves. He has completely written Sonny off as his father, refuses to even call him Dad, he refers to his mother now as Carly, and his hatred fro Kiki and Morgan exude from every fiber of his being. He has already lashed out by sleeping with Rosalie, and Kiki caught them in the act. He is pushing everyone who loves him out of his life because he feels completely betrayed by their actions and lies.

As a result of this Corinthos family fall out, Michael Corinthos, the adoptive son of Michael Sonny Corinthos, is dead set on changing his name to reflect his biological roots. He now wants to legally be named Michael Quartermaine, after his biological father, AJ Quartermaine. After learning that Sonny shot AJ, and all of his family kept this secret from him, Michael wants nothing to do with his family… not even his name.

Do you think Michael will go through with it and change his name to Quartermaine? Will he regret his choice after all the smoke clears? Let us know if you think Michael should remain a Corinthos or if he is justified in changing his name to Quartermaine.

Sonny Corinthos FINALLY Goes Down for His Crimes… Who Will He Take Down with Him?

After about 21 years of loop holes, bad ass lawyers, and acquittals, Sonny has hit the end of the road. Mark it down in General Hospital history, that Michael Sonny Corinthos is finally going to Pentonville for his crimes. After admitting to shooting AJ Quartermaine to Carly, the confession was captured by a sneaky Franco who placed a camera in a necklace he gave to Carly as a gift. The video was exposed at what was supposed to be Franco and Carly’s wedding, but since he was less than forgiving after finding out that Carly was sleeping with Sonny behind his back, he decided that Carly, and everyone else should pay. He didn’t hesitate at the chance to expose Sonny’s crimes to his adoptive son, Michael, who has been searching for who murdered his biological father, AJ Quartermaine. All the while Carly knew it was Sonny.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Sonny isn’t the only one who is going to pay for the murder of AJ Quartermaine. Perhaps everyone who knew what Sonny had done will be dragged down with him. Carly, Kiki, Morgan, Shawn, and possibly Ava could all end up right where Sonny will be…in a prison cell.

Who do you think is going down right alongside Sonny? General Hospital rumors indicate that Sonny will run into Johnny Zacchara while in Pentonville. The story just keeps getting better and better! Share if you are excited to see how this unfolds.

Will Mob Boss Sonny Corinthos Go to Pentonville?

Warning! This post contains a major General Hospital spoiler/rumor with an exciting plot twist!

 

 

Port Charles’ main mob boss, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), has committed some unthinkable crimes in the past and present, none of which he has actually served a considerable amount of jail time. It seems that no matter what Sonny does in Port Charles, he never actually gets convicted. Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), Diane Miller (Caroline Hennesy), or many of his other trusty attorneys have been able to get him acquitted of practically every dirty mob related crime he has ever been accused of. Many will say that Sonny is playing with fire when it comes to his recent activity with his former wife, and mother of his children, Carly Corinthos Jacks (Laura Wright). Carly is currently in a relationship with Franco (Roger Howarth), and Franco has some extremely damning information on Sonny. Sonny and Carly have been sleeping together behnd Franco’s back. Sonny is well aware that Franco knows that he shot AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan), yet he still gave into his desires to have sex with Carly. Franco has found out the truth about these two from his friend, Kiki Jerome (Kristen Alderson). Kiki overheard Carly and Sonny discussing their infidelity, and Carly thought she had Kiki convinced to leave well enough alone. Well, Kiki ended up spilling all to Franco, and Franco took it upon himself to spy on Carly with that hideous necklace with the hidden camera.

Sonny wants nothing more than to keep Franco quiet about what he knows, and Franco wants nothing more than to get revenge on Sonny for sleeping with his girlfriend. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Sonny and Shawn (Sean Blakemore) team up to come up with a plan to make Franco disappear. Meanwhile, Franco is has a plotting his next scheme to expose Sonny for his crime against Michael’s (Chad Duell) biological father, AJ Quartermaine. General Hospital spoilers also tease that Michael will turn his back on his entire family after learning what Sonny did to AJ, and that Carly has known all along. Morgan (Bryan Craig) also knows the truth, thanks to Michael’s girlfriend Kiki. Michael is the only one left in the dark about what his father Sonny has done to his biological father.

Michael’s world will be blown apart after learning that his entire family has betrayed him, including Kiki. What will stop Michael from going to the police to turn Sonny in for the death of AJ Quartermaine? Will the untouchable Sonny Corinthos finally pay for what he has done? Or will there be some loop hole that will set him free? Recent General Hospital rumors indicate that Sonny may have shot AJ, but someone else finished the job! What do you think?! Let us know in the comments below!

 

 

Rosalie’s BIG Secret!

Rosalie Martinez (Linda Elena Tovar) has been obeying her boss, Nina Clay (Michelle Stafford) like a well trained show dog. Ever since the two ladies arrived in Port Charles, Nina has had quite a hold over Rosalie. No matter what the request, Rosalie ends up doing what Nina wants. It is more than just a close relationship with her caregiver, and it’s definitely more than devoted friendship. For the most part, Nina and Rosalie seem to have a mutual understanding of their dynamic together. But many times, Nina treats Rosalie like something she scraped off the bottom of her shoe.

Nina’s most recent demand is that Rosalie seduce Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) to stick it to Silas’ (Michael Easton) daughter, Kiki Jerome (Kristen Alderson). Although Rosalie has eyes for his little brother, Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig), Nina pays no mind to Rosalie’s feelings. After Silas caught Nina running, he dismissed Rosalie as her nurse, stating that she no longer needs a nurse if she is up and running so well. Now that there is friction between Rosalie and Nina, Nina pulled out all her crazy to try and get through to her former nurse. Nina left multiple messages on Rosalie’s voice mail, begging for her to continue helping with her “list.” After leaving a few pleading voice mails, Nina turned on the psycho switch. In the same message that included words like please, and statements implying how dear Rosalie is to Nina, she then busted out with threats. Nina threatened to expose to Morgan all the things Rosalie has been hiding.

General Hospital rumors have indicated that Rosalie has another purpose in Port Charles, maybe even a relative; some sort of connection. What could Nina have been referring to in her threat to expose what Rosalie has been hiding?

Share your theories with us here! We would love to know what fans think Rosalie is hiding. What is Rosalie’s BIG secret?

 

The Secrets Kiki is Keeping Will Send the Character Into a New Direction

Kristen Alderson is among the bright young stars that grace the General Hospital audience with their presence; bringing fresh, young, exciting, and fun drama to our television. Alderson, alongside with Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos) and Bryan Craig (Morgan Corinthos) have set the stage for their generation of Port Charles residents. Newcomer, Rosalie Martinez (Linda Elena Tovar), seems to fit right into her scenes with her peers and co-stars, Alderson, Craig, and Duell.

In a recent interview with Soap Opera Network, Kristen Alderson (Kiki Jerome) explained her thoughts on her new(er) daytime role as Kiki in comparison to her long time iconic role of Starr Manning on ABC’s One Life to Live. She describes Kiki as having a little bit of Starr mixed with new personality traits of a rougher, tougher young woman, Kiki Jerome. Kiki also has a connection with the man she once thought was her father, Franco, played by her former OLTL TV dad, Roger Howarth. The two actors have an extreme dynamic when they are in scenes together, and perhaps that is another reason why Kiki is a little bit like Starr. Alderson and Howarth still have an on screen connection even outside of OLTL. She says, “Just because they all grew up watching me as Starr, which is great; that’s what makes the characters connect to me. So if that’s the way it works, that’s the way it works. And now I feel like there’s still enough Kiki from the beginning, but there’s also a little bit of Starr. It’s a little mix, and I’m proud of Ron, that he’s been able to do that, and grateful, because that’s why the audience is still liking me.”

Kristen Alderson explains that she thinks Kiki is headed into a new direction, showing more independence from her on screen boyfriend, Michael Corinthos , who is portrayed by her real life boyfriend, Chad Duell. Kiki is keeping a few secrets regarding residents of Port Charles. Soap Opera Network reports that these secrets will take Kiki into a more centralized direction as her character may be the center of multiple story lines.

Silas Discovers Something BIG About Ava!

Fans have been wondering for quite some time now what is going on with Ava Jerome, her “daughter” Kiki Jerome, Nina Clay, and Silas Clay. Things have been kinda fishy ever since Nina woke up from her coma ready to stick to the al the people on her “list.” One of those people is the daughter of her husband Silas Clay, with the woman he cheated on her with, Ava Jerome… or so it seems.

Ever since Ava became pregnant with Morgan OR Sonny’s baby, fans have questioned some of her actions and some of the scenes involving her and Kiki. The fact that Ava was reading the popular first time mom book, “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” sets off a red flag. If she was pregnant before, it is unlikely that she would be so eager to read that book because she would have A. already read it, or B. know what to expect since she already was pregnant and gave birth to Kiki. Another red flag is when Kiki brought Ava her birthday cupcake and the two were going over the top talking about their mother-daughter relationship. In soap writing history, it seems as if they are setting it up for something BIG. Just as Ava and Kiki mend fences and get a little closer… the truth about Kiki just might come out!

According to some General Hospital rumors, this current pregnancy is Ava’s FIRST and Silas is the one to discover…
