Vanessa Marcil Returns, Brenda Barrett Headed to Port Charles

Vanessa Marcil has played the unforgettable role of Brenda Barrett on and off on General Hospital for many years. Vanessa originated the role in 1992, and later left the role for 4 years, to return again in short term appearances.

Brenda Barrett and mobster Sonny Corinthos had an epic love affair that fans still swoon over to this day. Brenda has also been in love with another high powered Port Charles businessman, Jasper Jacks. Sonny and Jacks have been at odds for years as they were both in love with the beautiful Brenda.

Recently, Vanessa spoke with Soaps in Depth regarding the possible return of her character, Brenda. General Hospital spoilers reveal that the actress has been talking to sources at SID about a possible return to GH. Marcil said, “There’s always conversations. I’m a big fan of surprises, there won’t be an announcement before you see me on air. Like how they brought me back during the 2013 Nurses Ball, I was on set before people found out.”

Vanessa may be returning to the canvas, but it is uncertain whether she would be a long term player. She is currently working on other projects, including opening a restaurant.

No confirmations of her return have been made, and Executive Producer, Frank Valentini has not commented on either side of this news.

Now that Carly and Sonny seem to be in a happy place together once again, do you think it’s time for Brenda to waltz in and make a mess of things for Carly? Let us know what you think? Are you excited at the possibility of having Brenda Barrett back in Port Charles?

Ted King Ready to Return to General Hospital

Lorenzo Alcazar helped Carly deliver baby Morgan when she went into labor. But he wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. He was bad. Very bad. His twin brother, Luis was even worse. In 2002 Luis Alcazar came to Port Charles with one main goal, to be responsible for the demise of Sonny Corinthos.

Luis Alcazar has a laundry list of criminal offenses which include but aren’t limited to the following: Keeping the beautiful Brenda Barrett captive for about 4 years, convincing her that she was mentally ill. All the while he was drugging her. He caused the death of Alexis’ sister Kristina by blowing up Sonny’s house. Alcazar also tried to kill Zander Smith when he threw him overboard… There are many more heinous crimes where those came from which ultimately led to his death. Alexis killed Luis in self defense by pushing him off a balcony.

In 2003, Ted King returned to GH as Luis’ brother, Lorenzo Alcazar. He played this role until 2007 and left quite a mark throughout his time in Port Charles. Lorenzo was a lot like his brother when it came to his reason to be in Port Charles. He wanted to take Sonny down and would stop at nothing until that happened. Lorenzo was responsible for kidnapping Sonny, sleeping with Carly, kidnapped Spinelli and Lulu and ordered a hit on them, kidnapped Sonny’s sister, Courtney, and the list goes on…

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Ted King tells sources that he is ready to return to General Hospital. After accepting a role on One Life to Live as Tea Delgado’s brother, Tomas, the show was prematurely canceled and Ted King was out of a job. On coming back to GH as Alcazar, King tells a source, “There’s a lot to work out logistically. They teased the audience about a year ago with bringing him on, but that’s up to Head Writer, Ron Carlivati and Executive Producer, Frank Valentini. I certainly know that those guys are creative enough to figure it out.”

Could Lorenzo come back to Port Charles after being shot and killed by Sonny’s hit-man Jason Morgan in 2007? Stranger things have happened in this town.

Spinelli Returning to General Hospital

Damian Spinelli has many close friends in the city of Port Charles, including the mother of his daughter Georgie, Maxie Jones, and one of his best friends Sam Morgan. Spinelli was best friends with Sam’s (late) husband, Jason Morgan, and he also worked for Jason and Sonny as the mob tech genius.

After the first custody hearing when Maxie Jones lost custody of her own daughter, baby Georgie, Spinelli and his girlfriend Ellie moved to Portland, Oregon. Ellie made a huge career move, she took a job that she had been waiting for, for a long time. Spinelli just learned that although Maxie lost custody of their daughter, he was granted full time custody. He and Ellie decided to start a life together in Portland, with baby Georgie. General

Spinelli is always willing to come to the aid of his friends when there is a dire situation. His good friend and ex wife of Sonny Corinthos, Carly Jacks, paid him a visit in his new home in Portland. She needed his assistance with the audio recording that was found on AJ Quartermaine’s cell phone. He was able to clean it up so they could make out exactly what happened the night AJ was shot.

It looks like Spinelli is needed yet again. This time, it is Fair Samantha who needs his help. After she was held at gunpoint and used as a hostage to distract the PCPD, Sam is determined to find the man who aided in Faison’s escape. Sam still thinks that her husband Jason is dead, and she has no clue that the gunman who grabbed her is actually Jake, aka Jason.

Sam might not be the only person Spinelli will be helping. General Hospital rumors indicate that Spinelli plays a part in Maxie being able to be reunited with their daughter by Christmas.

It would make sense that Spinelli would return as his two close friends, Maxie and Sam really need him. General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on confirmation supporting this General Hospital rumor. SHARE this post with friends if you miss Spinelli!

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.

The character of Carly Corinthos Jacks (Caroline Benson) is nothing short of legendary. The daughter of Port Charles vet, Bobbie Spencer, Carly first came to the scene in 1996 when she was portrayed by the talented actress, Sarah Joy Brown until 2001. When Brown left General Hospital to pursue other projects, the lovely Tamara Braun took over the role and stole our hearts until 2005. Jennifer Bransford briefly stepped in to the role just before Laura Wright took over as Carly in 2005.
Carly has been linked to many love interests including Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Jason Quartermaine/Morgan (Steve Burton/Billy Miller), Lorenzo Alcazar (Ted King), Jasper Jacks (Ingo Rademacher), and Robert Frank/Franco (Roger Howarth). Most fans agree that Carly’s relationship with Sonny is one for the books as Carly and Sonny aka CarSon has been named a Daytime Super couple throughout the years.

Today the wonderfully talented Laura Wright celebrates 9 years of being with General Hospital. Time sure does fly, as it seems like yesterday we saw Laura debut as Carly in the “train wreck” episode.

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!
