General Hospital Rumors: Kiki Skips Town

Kiki Jerome has made it very apparent that she doesn’t really wan to lose her baby sister, Avery to Sonny Corinthos. Now that Sonny has been pardoned and is free, he as we know it is Avery’s biological father. Since Ava Jerome is presumed dead, legally, Avery should live with Sonny. Kiki is uneasy about giving her to Sonny, due to his criminal background, and the doubt in her mind that he actually tried to save Ava.

General Hospital spoilers have led to the question of how the writers will transition the role of Kiki Jerome from Kristen Alderson to Kiki’s recast, actress Hayley Erin. General Hospital rumors have been floating around that Kiki will actually skip town with baby Avery and when she returns to Port Charles, Kristen Alderson will be replaced with the new Kiki Jerome, Hayley Erin.

Do you think these General Hospital rumors are true and Kiki will run off with her baby sister just to keep her away from Sonny? Comment below and let us know what you think!

It’s no secret that co-stars Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos) and Kristen Alderson (Kiki Jerome) are a couple on screen as well as off screen. The real life romantic life of Chad Duell and Kristen Alderson has captured the hearts of their fans through up close and personal photos via Instagram and tweets.

Kristen Alderson Tweets Why She Left General Hospital

This weekend, General Hospital fans learned some shocking casting news regarding one of our favorites. Long time soap star Kristen Alderson has left General Hospital. Kristen played the role of Starr Manning on ABC’s now canceled One Life to Live since she was 6 years old. After the show got the ax, Kristen Alderson, Roger Howarth (ex-Todd Manning OLTL, Franco GH), and Michael Easton, (ex-John McBain OLTL, Silas Clay GH) joined the cast of General Hospital. Their origianl OLTL characters moved from Llanview to Port Charles and were building a life for themselves in their new city. However, a legal dispute between Prospect Park and ABC forced the execs at GH to chance the names of their characters.

Kristen Alderson has been on GH as Kiki Jerome since 2013. Over the weekend, social media has gone wild with the news that Alderson is ending her run on General Hospital. Kiki and Michael Corinthos recently broke up on the show, but in real life, Anderson and Chad Duell are still very much a couple.

Last night, Kristen sent out a tweet to her fans with a semi-cryptic message regarding this story. She wants her fans to know that she will explain the entire situation as soon as she is able to make a video for her announcement. Alderson expressed that simply tweeting they hows and whys just wasn’t enough, and that she would like to take more time to explain things to her fans. Check out the tweet below.

Sending out A TON TON TON of LOVE. Posting a video very very soon to explain everything. A tweet is way too small to show my appreciation.❤️
