The strangest thing is that just yesterday I thought to myself. When will we receive an update on John J. York?
By now General Hospital fans are aware that John was obeyed from the canvas due to serious health issues. he needed a bone marrow transplant and thankfully a match was found.
General Hospital Comings And Goings: John J. York Returns To General Hospital!
General Hospital news reports reveal breaking news regarding the actor’s health, and status with the daytime drama. According to General Hospital’s official Instagram account, Mac is back! John York returns to General Hospital as Mac Scorpio after undergoing extensive cancer treatment. His photo was feature on General Hospital’s official social media pages alongside Kristina Wagner and Josh Kelly. His co-stars look ecstatic to have their friend and teammate back on the set of General Hospital.
There is so much more of a story to tell for Mac, Felicia, and Cody, and John J. York is ready to take it on! General Hospital recaps recall that Mac remains unaware that he has a biological. Only time will tell this family will be exposed. How do you think Mac will react to the news? Will the good natured and kindhearted man understand why Cody lied?
John J York’s first appearancesince cancer treatment
Mac Scorpio could hush the loudest of critics with his simple presence. As it turns out, his portrayer, John J. York has the same superpower. Despite all the shade that’s often thrown at characters, actors, writers, etc., York and Scorpio remain among the fan favorites. Truthfully, I’ve yet to hear or read a negative comment from GH fans about Mac or the man who plays him, John J. York.
Back in September, York announced that he was going on hiatus from ABC’s General Hospital. Since then he’s revealed his health diagnosis, and an explanation for his hiatus. Sadly, John J. York’s health diagnosis and treatment required him to take a step back from his role as Mac Scorpio on General Hospital. Fast forward about six months, with some updates in between (see article below), GH news reports confirm that York is ready for his first public appearance.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that York reached out to fans via X (formerly known as Twitter), to make a special announcement. Reportedly, John J. York revealed that he’s making his first public appearance since his cancer treatment. The post informs GH fans of an upcoming event. York and his costar leading lady Kristina Wagner reunite for a GH Fan event via zoom. The event takes place on July 14th, and instructions to purchase tickets can be found in York’s X post below.
We surely hope that this means that the beloved General Hospital Vet’s recovery is heading in the right direction. we continue to keep John J. York in our thoughts and prayers, and we cannot wait to see Mac on screen again!
What’s that phrase, “see something, say something,”? Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) isn’t the type to keep quiet in a library let alone a crisis. Anytime she smells bullshit Maxie calls it out as it’s not her M.O. to let things slide. A girl after my own heart.
GH recaps recall that Sasha has already warned Cody that Felicia is on his tail. Time is running out before his family knows the truth. Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) trusted only a few close friends with his secret, and thus far thrive kept their work to him. For the most part, the fact that Cody is Max Scorpio son remains privileged knowledge among very few. According to General Hospital spoilers, Cody can’t get this one past the skillful Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner).
Moreover, Maxie senses something is a skew when talking to Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson). It’s become apparent that things between Sasha and Cody are a little strange not necessarily in a bad way, but something has shifted and Maxie has noticed the change. GH previews indicate that Maxie grills Sasha about Cody. Can Sasha navigate around Maxie’s 20 questions, or will she spill the tea on his paternity OR her feelings for Cody?!
Back in September, General Hospital’s John J. York revealed some devastating news regarding his health. He confirmed a life threatening diagnoses and currently receives treatment for the illness.
General Hospital news reports confirm that John J York’s health status is going in a positive direction. In a recent social media post, John shared a video updating fans on his progress. He was very optimistic however, also mentioned that he still has a long road ahead.
John J York Shares Health Update
General Hospital fans are rooting for John as they send prayers, hugs, vibes, and all the support you can possibly think of to him and his family. Please keep John in your thoughts abs prayers as he battles through the rest of his treatments. Be sure to check out his video in the post below.
First, I want to start off by asking that we all keep John J. York, aka our beloved Mac Scorpio in our prayers and healing thoughts. General Hospital’s John J. York has a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. His positive outlook and upbeat personality is a gift to himself as well as those who know and follow him. Additionally, York exhibits great strength as he shares with the world of his current medical condition.
Previously, GH Blog shared the news that John J. York, also known as GH’s Mac Scorpio, announced that he’d be taking a hiatus from the ABC daytime drama. Then, shortly after he gave fans something to think about, York returned to social media for the details. That’s when the iconic actor revealed that he was told he has 3-5 years to live. According to General Hospital news and spoilers, his diagnosis lead to a bone marrow search with Be A Match.
Fast forward and York has come forward with a health update. Reportedly, the stem cell transplant is a 100 day process. According to General Hospital news reports, York tells TV Insider the details of what he faces in the coming weeks. He shares, “The first week is an 8-day process of heavy-duty chemo, where I’ll probably lose my hair, and that’s OK,” he told the outlet. “And, you know, there’s just all kinds of issues. I could, I could pass away. I mean, maybe not from the chemo, but when the transplant starts. So after the eight days of these different chemo treatments that they’re doing, they’re basically wiping my body of what I’ve been living with in terms of my blood and DNA and all this stuff for my entire life. They’re wiping that clean and then they’re gonna put new stuff in me from the donor. And that’s going to be the new me.”
John J York Takes His Stem Cell Treatment One Day At A Time
Treatment takes place everyday unless the doctors see positive results from early on. He admits, “that would be wonderful. Then they may say, ‘You don’t have to come in tomorrow, come in the next day. And then we’ll test after that.’ That goes on for 100 days, and I would say the first probably 20 days [after the transplant] are the crucial days,” is what York told news outlet TV Insider.
The 22 year GH actor continued to describe his upcoming challenges with a positive and bright outlook. However, the long, demanding process can take its toll, but York displays the strength to stay the course. Unfortunately, the treatment doesn’t cease after the 100 days. Instead, he faces more testing. Those tests include biopsy and bone marrow aspiration. “I thought I was done doing bone marrow biopsies, but I still have like five bone marrow biopsies out there. Those are just not my favorite things in the world to do,” the actor admitted. For now, he’s taking things “one day at a time.”
General Hospital Blog continues to keep John J. York in our prayers as he faces these health challenges. His smiling face is enough to carry many through their bad days. Let’s shine our smiles on John to bright his too!
Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner) has chosen Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) as her guide. Not long ago, Felicia made a decision to embark on a new life journey. She reflected on her life’s accomplishments, shortcomings, and even some regrets. That’s when she entertained the idea to shadow Stella over at General Hospital.
Recent General Hospital spoilers indicate that Felicia is read for a new kind of fulfillment, and she seeks it out in social work. Becoming a patient advocate is important her next step toward a different lifestyle. Since she can remember, Felicia has known herself to be an adventurer and a thrill seeker through her work as a WSB agent.
Before becoming a grandmother to Maxie’s three children Felicia lived a risky life. Consequently, many of her spy missions kept her from her family. Maxie and her children are Felicia and Mac Scorpio’s (John J. York) world. She’s happy help Maxie whenever she she’s in need. Of course, spending time with family is very important to Felicia. But now she has found another important outlet through her new job at the hospital.
According to the latest GH rumors, Felicia’s new direction is a nice change. And while her intentions are in the right place, this position as a patient advocate might not cut it for a someone like Felicia. That is, unless one of the patient’s that Felicia is assigned to leads her to another mission. Or something along those lines.
GH spoilers tease that although Felicia’s new job at GH as a patient advocate starts out slow and seemingly uneventful, (in the sense that she isn’t out saving Port Charles from disaster), something makes her feel right at home. Certainly, Stella and Felicia’s job at the hospital isn’t something to overlook. Helping patients connect with their doctor and to understand their condition is an essential part of medical care.
However, many GH spoilers and rumors tease that when something big arises, Felicia also rises to the occasion. Apparently Felicia is just the person this patient needs.
John J. York needs bone marrow donations as he reveals diagnosis! Although saddened by the news, we also have hope that John will make a full recovery. Last week, General Hospital Blog shared John J. York’s message to fans regarding his upcoming GH exit. The soap vet and GH icon took to Twitter to give fans a heads up about his changing status with the 60 year old daytime drama. Unfortunately, he mentioned he’ll be taking a hiatus from his role as Mac Scorpio.
As promised, John shared an update with fans. According to the latest General Hospital news reports, York reveals that a recent diagnosis lead to his GH exit. But despite the news, he assures fans that he will be back. In a shocking revelation, John J. York reveal he’s in need of a bone marrow donation. In the video below, York explains his diagnosis in detail while also addressing his role on ABC’s General Hospital.
GH star needs bone marrow match
York explains, “And here it is. So, last December, of ’22, I was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS, and multiple smoldering myeloma, two blood and bone marrow disorders.”
GH fans! John J. York needs bone marrow donations! If you are between the ages of 18 and 40, you could be a potential bone marrow match. Please take some time and thought and visit bethematch.com/matchformac to potentially help save a life!
Is Mac Scorpio leaving GH? John J. York explains… So much excitement and drama surrounds the people of Port Charles. On a typical day, one might discover their long lost daughter, another might betray a lover they’ve sought out for years only, some could fall victim of a baby napping, and various other traumatic life events.
When it comes to the vet actors, their characters have been through the wringer for years and years. Thankfully, characters like Mac Scorpio (John J. York) and his wife Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner) have stuck around to endure it all of these years!
Currently, Mac Scorpio has a potentially prominent storyline. Cody Bell waltzed into Mac’s life and everything is about to change. After GH spoilers revealed that Cody is Mac’s son, fans have been waiting for that story to unfold. However, recent GH news reports share an update on York’s GH status. John toon to Twitter/X to address fans about his recent status change with the 60 year old daytime drama.
In his announcement York explains that he’ll be on a few week long hiatus. As a result, Mac Scorpio keeps things low key. Additionally, the actor explained that he will be away from the scene for a bit. His tweet can be read below.
Have no fear, we won’t leave you in the dark about Mac and neither will John. Make sure to follow General Hospital Blog on Facebook and check back for updates on the GH cast!
Victor blames Eileen. The walls are closing in on Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy). Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Valentin Cassadine (Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), Mac Scorpio (John J. York), Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner), and Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) are working together to take him down. With Deputy Mayor Eileen Ashby’s help, the super-spy crew is closer and closer to busting this Cassadine.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Eileen can’t escape the adverse consequences from her involvement with Victor. Whether or not she’s on his side, Eileen’s fare remains the same. He’s always planned to turn on her. But luckily for Eileen, she turned on him first. Or so she thought. The Deputy Mayor jumped ship as a way to get out of Victor’s choke hold. However, that’s not the case. Anna warned Eileen that no one is out of this mess until Victor is completely stopped. Still working as an informant, Eileen continues to answer to Victor. What he doesn’t know, yet, is that she’s working under Anna and Valentin.
Soon enough, GH previews and rumors suggest Victor blames Eileen for his missteps. The once calm and collected Cassadine is now frantic, and overlooking key signs. While he believes Anna and Valentin are dead, Victor struggles to figure out Eileen’s angle.
General Hospital News. Have you heard the news? According to the latest casting news, GH comings and goings reports confirm Emma Samms’ return to General Hospital. Arriving in Port Charles soon, GH rumors suggest that Holly Sutton becomes part of Victor Cassadine’s takedown.
Can Holly save Esme from Victor? Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) is out for what he believes is his. As the self-proclaimed leader of the Cassadine family, Victor makes it his mission to herd family members like sheep. Total control is his end game. However, in order for Uncle Victor to satisfy his desire, he must get through Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl).
According to recent General Hospital recaps, Victor expresses his desire to take baby Ace. As the mother of the youngest Cassadine heir, Esme fears Uncle Victor’s very presence. Furthermore, she has trust issues with Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez). Together, Victor and Spencer pose a serious threat to Esme and baby Ace. That being said, the controlling Cassadine must be stopped.
As reported in General Hospital spoilers, Victor plans to take baby Ace from his mother. With Spencer’s help, Victor preys on Esme. Time is running out and Victor needs to be stopped before any harm comes to Esme or her baby. Currently, Spencer’s grandmother Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) took Esme and Ace into her home. Trust is a touchy subject when it comes to Esme and the Cassadine’s. However, although Laura is Spencer’s grandmother, she isn’t a Cassadine.
It’s safe to say that a Laura is one of the good ones. Having helped Holly, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), and Mac (John J. York) and Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner) in the past, she’ll help them take down Victor this time around too. GH news reports confirm that Emma Samms returns to General Hospital as Holly Sutton. According to GH rumors, Holly returns just in time to help the crew bring Victor down for good. Can Holly save as Esme from Victor before he takes baby Ace?
