We have been watching Jason Thompson play the role of Dr. Patrick Drake for 7 years now. Since 2007 we have been able to recognize and appreciate his abilities as an actor. It’s always great to hear what General Hospital co-workers and TPTB think of our favorite stars.
In a recent article from Michael Fairman, he explains that in an interview on the red carpet for the 41st annual Daytime Emmy Awards, Frank Valentini let him in on what Patrick Drake will be up to throughout this Summer. He gives kudos to Jason Thompson for his amazing portrayal of the talented, good looking, father of the year, Dr. Patrick Drake. Frank Valentini revealed, “A lot will happen with Patrick over the summer and into the Fall, and we also have Sabrina’s return. Jason Thompson is a tremendous actor who is constantly refining and reworking his craft. He’s always in class, and he is such a wonderful guy and amazing.”
Valentini also gave major props to other actors on General Hospital. He explain that when casting new actors, they do it very carefully in order to keep up with the incredible talent that already exists in Port Charles. He mentioned Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), Laura Wright (Carly Corinthos Jacks), and Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis). In response to a question asking about the casting of Maura West (Ava Jerome), Donna Mills (Madeline Reeves), and Michelle Stafford (Nina Clay), he stated, “We have a tremendous cast, and we choose everyone very carefully, because of the caliber of actors such as Maurice Benard (Sonny), Laura Wright (Carly,) and Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) … you’ve got to bring in some pretty big guns to compete with them. You will see Donna Mills (Madeline) again this summer.”
She blasted into Port Charles reeking havoc on the residents of Port Charles. Madeline Reeves, Mother-in-law of Silas clay, and sister of Liesl Obrecht turned the lives of her loved ones (or enemies) upside down. She came into town because she wanted Silas to sign over his rights to her daughters finances. Her daughter, Nina Clay was said to be in a 20 year coma. When Silas started to ask questions, Madeline told him that she had past away. Her son, Nathan West, (which we found out was actually her nephew, and son of Dr. Liesl Obrecht, sister of Dr. Britt Westbourne), also was lead to believe that his sister, now cousin, Nina had died.
Nina is far from dead. She is alive and out for her husband Silas. Since encountering her in the park, Silas and Sam have hit a speed bump in their relationship. Nina, Silas’ wife, whom he thought was dead, is now found to be alive, and is driving a wedge between him and his girlfriend, Sam.
Now that Nina is back, and already causing trouble, will her Mother be close behind? Surely Silas will have a lot to say to Madeline, as will Nathan. She made them believe Nina was dead, therefore it’s obvious she has something to hide. What could she be hiding? Fans have speculated that Nina’s child just might be alive. Who will it be? SOme say they have a feeling Kiki is not Ava’s and perhaps Madeline made a deal with Ava to raise Kiki as her own.
Rumors have been circulating that Donna Mills is already taping and is expected to make another appearance in Port Charles as Madeline Reeves very shortly.
Comment and share to let us know if you are looking forward to all the upcoming drama that is in store for Nina, Silas and Sam, Nathan, Britt, and the rest of the gang!
Ever since Nina made her abrupt appearance in the park a few days ago, it’s undeniable that there is something off about the woman. She doesn’t act how one would expect coming straight out of a 20 year coma. She seems to have her mind set on one thing and one thing only…Silas.
Nina expects everything to fall right back into place after 20 years, as if the world around Silas stood still for as long as she was in a coma. She is really over doing it to the point where it looks like she is doing it on purpose. Before the tragedy happened, she knew their marriage wasn’t perfect. She was aware of the fact that Silas had an affair with Ava Jerome, so why would she think everything would be great between the two of them now? It has been said that Nina knows a lot more than she is letting on and fans have been speculating as to what exactly she knows.
Today, Nina talked about her baby that she lost when she over dosed on the medication (given to her by her own Mother, Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills)). She reflected on the past and after meeting Kiki, Silas’ daughter with Ava, she was saddened by the fact that Ava had his baby and she was supposed to and didn’t. Perhaps Nina knows and is keeping it a secret, or maybe she doesn’t, but what if Kiki is not Ava’s daughter at all? What if Madeline and Ava played it off as if Kiki was Ava’s child? Rumors have been circulating that Madeline and Ava stole Nina’s baby to pass it off as Ava’s, maybe so that Nina would divorce Silas for not only cheating on her, but for getting another woman pregnant.
General Hospital Blog wants to know what fans think about this theory. Weigh in my sharing this post and commenting below.
Things are getting pretty intense for the residents of Port Charles these days. With AJ just being shot, there are many people who are trying to figure out why and what exactly happened to him. Anna DeVane is hot on the case with suspects such as Julian and Sonny. Shawn, Duke, and Carly all know Sonny’s deep dark secret that he is the one who pulled the trigger, sending AJ to GH to fight for his life. Sonny has betrayed his son Michael as he promised him he wouldn’t hurt AJ. We all know that Ava is the one who had every intention on killing AJ, and Sonny just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time resulting in a crime of passion. Ava has been behind many of the crimes in Port Charles as of late, including the murder of Connie Falconeri, and shooting Olivia Falconeri when she was aiming for Franco.
Head Writer, Ron Carlivati teases that things between Sonny and Ava are going to get a lot crazier now that the two of them share this secret about AJ. However, Executive Producer, Frank Valentini mentioned that it will be a long while before Sonny ever figures out that Ava is actually the one who killed Connie, and not AJ.

After the exit of fan favorite Starr Manning, Kristen Alderson took on the role of Kiki Jerome. Her love interest is Morgan Corinthos which is a bit ironic since when she played Starr, she and Michael were a hot item. Fans nicknamed the popular duo MiStarr. Now, her role as the multi faceted Kiki is causing a buzz with the fan bases. Those who were die hard Starr fans still miss their sweet girl tremendously. Those open to change are embracing Kiki’s new attitude. One thing remains constant is that fans are still head over heals for Chad Duell and Kristen Alderson’s chemistry. Whether Alderson is Starr or Kiki, it’s obvious that fans want the actress paired with her real life sweetheart, Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos). There is just one thing… most people don’t take too well to “Kissing Cousins.”
Kiki, although dating Michael’s brother Morgan, cannot keep her mind off of Michael. There is intense chemistry. Call it forbidden fruit, or call it fantastic acting, the two really do seem to be able to steam up a scene just by thinking of one another.
Franco is back and we have been led to believe that Kiki is his long lost daughter Lauren, (Lauren Katherine Jerome). Which ultimately means that since Franco and Jason are twins, Kiki and Michael would be first cousins. We also know that the Jerome family was a mob family in Port Charles back in the day. Ava, Kiki’s mom, comes off as a very sleek, sly, and manipulative woman. There are a lot of “what ifs” in this story. What if Heather Webber lied and Jason and Franco were never twins? What if the sneaky and manipulative Ava is lying about something? That being said, it wouldn’t be too far fetched to believe that Kiki isn’t Franco’s daughter at all. If that is the case, then eventually, when Michael and Kiki find out they are not really related, although Morgan is still in the middle, they would be able to be together.
What’s REALLY going on with Kiki and Michael? If you want them to be together, SHARE this post!
There is a lot more to Ava Jerome (Maura West) than we all had anticipated. She is more than just the Mother of Franco’s child, Kiki aka Lauren Katherine Jerome (Kristen Alderson). We recently learned that she has attempted assassination, whether the bullet was meant for Franco or meant for Olivia, Ava pulled the trigger. She is money hungry and will jeopardize the relationship she has with her daughter to get what she wants. It is looking more and more like Ava has deeper rooted connections with the residents of Port Charles than simply having a romantic relationship with Franco. She is a Jerome, which means she knows more about Duke, Anna, Lucy, and more of the PC gang than she is leading on. What does she want? This week on General Hospital, Ava reveals a past relationship. Perhaps Kiki isn’t Franco’s daughter at all… Or maybe Franco isn’t Franco… There are lots of possibilities and this story hasn’t even begun to unfold!
We just got confirmation that Daytime Emmy winner Maura West, (ex-Carly ATWT, ex-Diane Y&R) will be joining the cast of General Hospital very soon (May). She has already started to tape and will be playing the role of a new character named Ava Jerome.
