General Hospital Spoilers: Meet Laura’s Two Half Brothers

Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) has been trying to figure out why Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) is so interested in her, and yet he seems sincere when he says he would never want harm to come to Laura or her daughter, Lulu Spencer Falconeri (Emme Rylan).

Laura and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) are trying to put the pieces together after he and Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) learned of Florence Gray, which is actually Laura’s biological father’s last name.

General Hospital spoilers reveal the connection between Florence Gray, Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight), and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis), and Cyrus Renault, is biological. General Hospital rumors claim Laura has two half brothers, Martin and Cyrus, which would explain Renault’s fixation in Laura while not wishing harm upon her because she’s family.

General Hospital News: Maurice Benard And William deVry Shut Down Internet Troll; “I’m So Glad GH Fired Your Sleezy Scumbag Lying Ass!”

The internet is full of trolls and haters, and the soap opera “fan base” seems to play a big part in online bullying. So called GH fans, more like haters, apparently have a big problem with knowing how to play nice.

General Hospital news reports a recent Twitter exchange that isn’t so pretty, between one GH fan, William deVry, and Maurice Benard. Maurice Benard, who plays Sonny Corinthos, chimed in to defend his friend and co-star, William deVry, after a fan tweeted at deVry, commenting on his General Hospital exit.

The tweet read, “I’m glad they fired your speedy scumbag lying ass!,” as it was addressed to General Hospital’s deVry, who has played Julian Jerome for the past seven years.

There is no excuse for this senseless hatred and negativity. Good on Maurice for stepping up for his friend, William deVry, and shame on the individual who felt it was necessary to be a hater for absolutely no reason.

General Hospital Spoilers: Sonny Finds Julian And Puts An End To His Nonsense Once And For All

Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has finally had enough. He’s been pushed too far, and this time, there is no escape for Julian Jerome (William deVry).

Sonny and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) are well aware that Julian is the one who planted the bomb at The Floating Rib on Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) order. Julian owed Renault a favor for keeping Ryan Chamberlain quiet. As a result, Sonny lost his cousin, a teenage boy, Dev Corbin (Ashton Arbab), along with almost losing Jason and Danny (Porter Fasullo). His daughter in law Lulu Spencer Falconeri (Emme Rylan) is in a coma fighting for her life. Others have died end many were injured that night as a result of Julian’s actions.

General Hospital spoilers and previews reveal Sonny goes after Julian, and this time, Julian can’t get away with what he’s done without consequences. In the past, Sonny has shown Julian more mercy than he deserves, but Sonny is done playing nice. But Sonny isn’t Julian’s only problem. Cyrus Renault isn’t happy that Julian didn’t complete the job. Jason Morgan is still alive (thankfully) because of Julian’s incompetence when it comes to being a mobster. Jason is supposed to be dead.

General Hospital news reports have previously announced that William deVry has been let go from GH and General Hospital rumors suggest his character, Julian, will die. But who will end up doing the deed? Sonny or Cyrus?

GH rumors also claim that Sonny puts an end to Julian but not in such a permanent way. Some claim Sonny will make Julian run far, far away and never return, and this time, he’ll listen.

Do you think Sonny or Cyrus will kill Julian? Or will he have the opportunity to run and never return?

General Hospital News: GH Name Drops Morgan, Does Cyrus Have Another Trick Up His Sleeve?

Quite a few changes have been happening with the cast of General Hospital. Last month, General Hospital news shocked fans as reports of casting cuts spread quickly through news outlets.

Recent General Hospital spoilers revealed the exits of William deVry as Julian Jerome, Emme Rylan as Lulu Spencer Falconeri, Ashton Arbab who played Dev Corbin, and Mark Lawson as Dustin Phillips. General Hospital rumors immediately started around budget cuts and making room for big names to arrive and fan favorites to return.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors claim there is a possibility those casting cuts have made room for one return in particular, Bryan Craig as Morgan.

GH rumors grew after two characters name dropped Morgan Corinthos. First, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) mentioned to Cameron Webber (William Lipton) that she may have found herself in Trina Robinson’s shoes (Sydney Mikayla) if told that her brother Morgan was said to be alive. She compared Morgan to Taggert (Réal Andrews) because like Trina, Josslyn did not see Morgan die. Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) mentioned Morgan when discussing the dangers of mob life with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). She told Jason she doesn’t want her children to die due to mob danger, like Morgan. Jason brought up Morgan’s death when confiding to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) about his recent breakup with Sam.

Back in early September, Bryan Craig announced he was ready to get back to work and specifically called out General Hospital.

General Hospital rumors claim Bryan Craig is headed back to GH as the son of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), Morgan Corinthos.

Are the writers trying to give fans a hint with Jason, Joss and Sam’s mention of Morgan?
