Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and his father Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) have a mutual respect for each other’s career choices. Although they’re at opposite sides of the law, they’ve come to an understanding when it comes to family and business.

General Hospital previews indicate that a current situation puts Dante and Sonny’s understanding and respect for one another to the test. In a shocking twist, Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) was shot dead in cold blood. As a detective Dante must do what it takes to solve the crime, even if that means that he has to question his father.

Who Killed Austin Holt On General Hospital?

A doctor is dead and Dante has reason to believe that Sonny knows a little something about the situation. Of course, Sonny and Ava Jerome (Maura West) know more about Austin than some would guess, but that doesn’t mean they know who killed him. General Hospital spoilers tease that Dante investigates the crime and questions Sonny about Austin’s death. Some GH rumors claim that Cyrus Renault is the obvious choice, but something tells me that’s not the case. It just seems too easy.

Moreover, GH recaps recall the look on Austin’s face when he came face to face with his killer. He was puzzled to see this person but didn’t seem all that afraid. Did Ava lash out after she discovered that Austin’s been lying to her? Or is Nikolas Cassadine creeping around Port Charles with a vengeance?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Gets His Revenge! Austin Lies Lifeless On The Ground

Nikolas killed Austin for revenge
Nikolas killed Austin for revenge

Nikolas Cassadine has his share of reasons to stay far, far away from Port Charles. First, his relationship with his son Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) was rocky ever since Nikolas faked his death. It’s understandable that Spencer felt abandoned, and distances himself from his father. Emotionally, the two were further apart than ever. Spencer was back from boarding school and living at Wyndemere, distance separated father and son.

Nikolas had other problems in his life but they all stemmed from the same issue. It was a vicious cycle back when Spencer and Esme both had it out for Nikolas and Ava. As a result, Spencer’s resentment towards his dad and step mom helped fuel Esme’s agenda. Additionally, Spencer unknowingly fed into Esme’s trap which helped lead Ava and Nikolas astray from each other. It was the straw the broke the camel’s back for Spencer.

Nikolas Killed Austin Over Ava?!

Once Esme seduced Nikolas and she became pregnant, time eventually did its job. It was only a matter of time that Spencer found out about how his father Nikolas slept with Esme. At this point Spencer had been betrayed by Nikolas enough. And on top of that, he found out who is girlfriend really was.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) was roped into the middle of it all between Nikolas and Spencer. But Ryan’s fixation on Ava fueled Esme’s entire plot, resulting in Ava’s marriage to Nikolas. According to General Hospital spoilers, Nikolas gets his revenge! The last time that he saw Ava was the night she thought she killed him. Until recently, Ava assumed that he was dead. Thanks to Austin, Ava was able to hide Nikolas’s body, or so she thought. That’s when one thing lead to another and Ava ended up sleeping with Austin. Now, Nikolas wants revenge.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas killed Austin for revenge. He knows that Ava thought that she killed him, and the fact that she slept with Austin might be enough motive.

Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH
Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH

Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) was doing the right thing after doing a many things wrong. Although Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, Austin still carried out criminal acts on top of the lies he told to Ava Jerome (Maura West). The thing is that Austin wasn’t a bad guy but he did bad things because Cyrus had the upper hand. After all, it was Cyrus who paid Austin’s way through medical school. But was it really worth it when Austin was never able to outrun his debt?

Earlier this week, General Hospital star Roger Howarth confirmed his GH exit and Austin Holt’s unexpected death. General Hospital recaps recall the latest storyline shocker! Dr. Austin Holt took the righteous path and was preparing himself to give Cyrus up to the PCPD in exchange for immunity. After all, he only commutes those crimes and told those lies because Cyrus and Mason (Nathanyael Grey) gave him no choice.

Austin Dies

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Howarth has filmed his final episode. His two and a half year run as the peculiar Dr. Austin Holt from Pautuck is over. But this isn’t the first time that Howarth’s role has been given the axe. The Daytime Emmy Winner is best known for his role as Todd Manning on One Life To Live. Since the Soap Opera’s 2012 cancellation, Howarth has played various Daytime TV roles. In fact, he became known for playing more than a couple characters on the same Soap. First Roger brought OLTL’s Manning to GH. Then, he was written off and he has played two other roles on GH following the Llanview legend. While General Hospital fans mourn Austin’s death and Howarth’s departure, hope remains that he returns as someone entirely new.

Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH

“Several weeks ago I got a phone call from somebody I’ve known for a very long time who I love very dearly [GH and OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini] telling me that when my contract was up at ABC I would not be offered a new contract and that the character of Austin would be killed, and that this was something they both wanted and needed to do to move story,” the iconic daytime television star revealed to Soap Opera Digest. “And it took me a minute to kind of adjust, to kind of hear the news; it took a second for me to let that settle in.

“And then, immediately, I realized how lucky I was to have been able to do something I really love doing for more than a decade with people who I really enjoyed working with,” Howarth continued. “I’m a lucky guy. I had a great run and this was a decision made by people who make these kinds of decisions for a living. For me, I felt it was very much like that scene in Moneyball and Jonah Hill had just told me I’ve been traded. I feel very respected and supported. For a long time, I’ve enjoyed coming to work, learning lines, and saying them with really cool people.”

Will Roger Return In His Fourth Role?

So much is to be said about a 30+ year acting career. Daytime Television has been luck to have a talent such as Roger. The best is yet to come!

Clearly, there is no bad blood between Howarth, Valentini, and TPTB over at GH. Roger’s statement clarifies any misunderstandings that may have developed through recent GH rumors. Although Roger cleared the air and shared the truth behind his GH exit, one thing remains uncertain. Soaps are known for some wild casting shifts. And it just so happens that Howarth is iconically known for his role change-ups. Three different roles on one drama is impressive but can he match co-star Michael Easton at four?

Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) is undoubtedly a brave man. First, he found pregnant, helpless Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) in the middle of the woods. She was about to give birth without any medical assistance. That’s when the mystery man himself showed up out of nowhere and saved the day. Furthermore, Austin has shown is bravery toward the dangers brought on by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).

Additionally, he risked himself to keep Ava safe. He hasn’t really done anything that would lead the audience to believe that he’s just as bad as Cyrus and/or Mason. But that doesn’t mean that Ava and anyone else sees that Cyrus is pulling the strings. At this point, for all Ava knows, Austin could be working right alongside Cyrus.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ava’s Advice Is Moot If Spencer Has Feelings For Esme

Ava Jerome (Maura West) has been like a second mother to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Lately, Dr. Portia Robinson’s (Brooke Kerr) disdain for Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) has Trina’s mother taking some steps back.

Ever since Trina stowed away on The Haunted Star Portia’s either uninvolved or only involved to dissuade Trina from Spencer. But she sure as heck isn’t there to convince her daughter to give Spencer another chance. General Hospital recaps recall Trina and Spencer’s argument in front of Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). The once complete self-centered young Cassadine now displays selflessness when it comes to the newest Cassadine, his baby brother Ace. But Spencer’s recent behavior sparks debate. Not only does Spencer’s fixation with Ace have conflicting opinions and feelings for those close to him, but the GH fans are torn as well.

Despite the fact that Spencer is a product of abandonment on some level, his obsession with ensuring his brother has close family seems overboard to some. While it’s understandable to want to ensure your baby brother has a safe and loving home, it’s another to want to completely take over. Ace has a loving and capable mother. Thus far she hasn’t shown any signs of her old self coming through the cracks. However, this is Port Charles. Do we really believe that Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) remains the pillar of motherhood from here on out? Absolutely not.

Spencer has feelings for Esme Portia and Trina

According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Trina’s efforts may be for nothing at this point. That’s not saying that Spencer never really loved Trina, because we do belejbe he has and still does. But it’s almost like there’s more to this. The debate surrounding Ace’s paternity strikes debate among fans. GH rumors hint that Spencer’s strong sense to protect Ace is more of a fatherly instinct than a brotherly instinct, despite the factors of Spencer’s upbringing. Yes, Nikolas the absentee father has a lot to do with Spencer’s need to protect Ace. But we can’t forget that this is a soap opera, and things are rarely as they seem.

Aside from Ace’s paternity mystery, red flags are evident. GH spoilers indicate that Spencer has feelings for Esme which complicates his and Trina’s relationship even more. At some point, it won’t just be about Ace, but his feelings for Ace’s mother play a major role in where this leads them. So what’s the point of trying to talk things over smoothly and calmly with a man who won’t see reason? Maybe Trina needed Portia on this one?! 😬

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Is Mason Sticking Around GH? Nathanyael Grey’s Shocking Confession Light On Mason’s Good Side

Time sure flies when you’re a bad guy! Maybe that’s why the past year and four months seem like a blink of an eye. Grey joined General Hospital’s cast in June of 2022 and first aired on the 15th of that month. Since July of 2022, the GH newcomer was placed on recurring status.

Mason Gatlin struck a chord with GH fans from the moment he popped in the scene. Mysterious but on a creepy level, Mason’s no-nonsense interactions became increasingly intimidating with each scene. General Hospital recaps recall that he and his cousin Dr. Austin Gatlin Holt butted heads from the start. But when when Mason interrupted Austin’s news life, no one knew their backstory. Even Maxie had the woo pulled over her eyes as she was trying to get to know the man who delivered her baby.

General Hospital news reports confirm that Grey disclosed GH spoilers in a Ew ent Soaps In Depth interview.

Nathanyael Grey’s Shocking Confession About Mason

GH spoilers reveal that the recent interview sheds light on Mason’s good side- well, sort of. But according to Grey, Mason is not good or bad. Instead, he reveals that Executive Producer Frank Valentini told the actor that Mason is a gray character.

“He’s just doing what he’s told to the best of his ability,” Grey explained. “I tried to reflect that with some of the dialogue that they would allow me to change here and that, that he’s just a guy doing his job, but he’s morally ambiguous with what the job entails.

“One time, they wrote that Mason was directly threatening Georgie,” he added. “I changed the line to ‘Don’t make me.’ Like, ‘I don’t want to do it but I will,’ as opposed to ‘I will totally kidnap a kid!’ Once I knew that Mason’s family has a trucking company and who the boss was, I was like, ‘Oh, okay, well, he doesn’t want to lose his family business, so he kind of has to do these things.’ And Frank [Valentini, GH’s executive producer] backed that up; he said, ‘You’re actually a gray character. You’re not all bad.’”

From the sound of things, it’s possible that General Hospital is prepared to keep Grey on to portray Mason for the foreseeable future. GH Blog with keep fans updated on any GH casting changes regarding Nathabyael’s GH status.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) turned to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for help when Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) became a threat. Although his cousin Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) has a thing for the blond, former mobster, Mason has a job to do.

According to General Hospital recaps, Ava and Austin hit it off as friends before things quickly became physical. But that’s when threats escalated and there wasn’t time for any type of messing around in any aspect. So, was Ava and Austin’s encounter a “one and done” situation?

GH rumors tease that Austin can’t be trusted but he’s also not purely a bad guy. Instead, he’s been forced into this by family. Cyrus and Austin’s pasts are tied together and it seems like Cyrus uses that fact as leverage. Now that we know that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, it’s easier to see that Austin truly cares about Ava and doesn’t want to engage in Cyrus and Mason’s games. But Austin remains dishonest with Ava about the most important element of this entire situation. Not until Laura Spencer told Ava about Nikolas Cassadine’s bank activity did she think that her ex was alive. She eels to be in the dark about some important facts that could either keep her safe or risk her life.

Sonny Thinks Ava’s Sleeping With The Enemy

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Ava questions Austin after Sonny gives a warning. According to recent GH previews, Sonny tells Ava that she’s in bed with the enemy. And the look on her face is worth a thousand words. Although she is fond of Austin, I don’t think that she fully trusts him anyway. How is she going to react when she discovers that he has know that Nikolas was alive this whole time?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Is Cyrus’s Financial Backer For Wyndemere

If you think Cyrus Renualt (Jeff Kober) found God, please think again. Most GH fans believe that he is lying through his teeth. Maybe at first, but now it’s safe to say that practically no one believes his newfound spirit. Surely, Cyrus has gotten about as close to finding God as I have to finding my keys when I’m late for an appointment.

Who would have thought that Cyrus and Nikolas Cassadine would work so closely together? It’s true, things aren’t always as they seem. According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Nikolas and Cyrus have more of a relationship than anyone imagine. However, not all relationships are good. Even those among family. Cyrus may very well be Nikolas’s uncle, but that doesn’t mean they have a good relationship. In fact, Nik’s long lost uncle is one of the last people he’d want to be in cahoots with.

GH recaps recall the tragic event that changed the Spencer family in an instant. That’s when Cyrus ordered a bomb to the Floating Rib and Julian Jerome (William deVry) carried out the attack. Then, in an instant, the incident landed Nikolas’s sister Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) in a coma.

Nikolas is Cyrus’s financial backer Laura Cyrus Nikolas

Back in 2021, Nikolas threatened his big bad uncle after what happened to Lulu. Since then, Cyrus has had it out for Laura’s son. GH spoilers tease that Nikolas is working with Cyrus. To clarify, GH rumors tease that he’s working with him out of obligation, not by choice. This could be Renault’s way of getting back at Nikolas for threatening him back in 2021.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Threatens Cyrus, Nikolas Cassadine Is About To Unleash Cassadine Savagery

Cyrus most definitely has something up his sleeve. We know that Nikolas is connected to Mason (Nathanyael Grey) and Austin (Roger Howarth), while those two goons report to Nik’s uncle Cyrus. That leads fans to believe that Cyrus is in charge of his nephew too. Remember when Cyrus had Martin give all of his l key away? Well, maybe since jikolas has money, Cyrus figured he can bank on that. That said, GH fans want to know who wants to buy Wyndemere. GH rumors tease that it’s Cyrus, but he uses Nikolas’s Cassadine fortune. But what will Nik get out of it? Nothing, or did he and Cyrus somehow form an alliance and put their differences aside?
