General Hospital Spoilers: ‘Deception’ Needs A Face While Sasha Struggles With Her Demons, Will Brenda Barrett Reclaim Her Role As The Face Of ‘Deception’?

Brenda and Sasha share the Face of Deception
Brenda and Sasha share the Face of Deception

In the 1990’s Julia Barrett founded Port Charles’s own cosmetics company, Deception. She launched the business with Dominique (Shell Danielson) and Scotty Baldwin and hired Julia’s sister Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) as the very first ‘Face of Deception.’ According to General Hospital history, when Dominique passed away in 1994, Scotty and Julian left the company, and left Lucy to run things as CEO. From there, the rest is history.

Fast forward twenty some years and Deception has found a new face and is ready to launch the modern day version of the cosmetic company. Things were starting to fall into place for Lucy when she discovered Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson). Sasha was the perfect woman to represent Deception and Lucy was ready to run with it. Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Lucy are working together to make sure this project becomes a success and they are counting on Sasha to help make that happen. Sasha is going through some major drama in her life after she and Michael broke up. Sasha is feeling overwhelmed and caved into being persuaded into taking drugs.

The Face Of Deception

General Hospital spoilers reveal Sasha’s drug use isn’t just a one time thing. Unfortunately, she is headed down a dark path which could jeopardize her own career as well as Deception as a whole.

As General Hospital rumors regarding the return of Brenda Barrett circulate, the story line has the potential to head into a direction no one saw coming. GH rumors suspect Marcil May return to General Hospital in the ear future after GH news and spoilers claim she is Dev Cerci’s (Ashton Arbab) mother. GH rumors hint that Sasha and Brenda will meet and connect during Sasha’s dark days as Brenda could return to step in to the role of representing the company. Lucy Coe will have to go to great lengths to keep Deception in a positive lime light, and by doing so it’s likely she will reach out to Brenda to come to Port Charles.

Previously, General Hospital Blog revealed Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) spoke of Marcil, stating that bringing the actress back would be a “no brainer.”Will Brenda return as part of multiple upcoming stories in Port Charles?

General Hospital Spoilers: Molly And Maxie Baby Shocker!

In the last few episodes of General Hospital, before the effects of the global pandemic hit, General Hospital spoilers indicate that two women of Port Charles will learn they are pregnant in upcoming episodes. Molly Lansing Davis (Haley Pullos) had a one night stand with the new mechanic in town, who is of course linked to mobster, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Corinthos is Molly’s uncle and some suspect Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor) will run into some trouble when it comes to Molly and facing her uncle Sonny. Molly is now engaged to TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) after a confusing breakup that resulted after Molly turned down TJ’s marriage proposal. The two have come to an agreement of a civil union, however, Molly still keeps her secret from TJ. It would be very soapy if the writers to have Molly learn she is pregnant with Brando’s baby while trying to start her life with TJ.

More General Hospital spoilers claim Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) is also going to find out she’s pregnant. It seemed as though Maxie was being set up to become pregnant after she felt light headed and under the weather. General Hospital rumors ran with the classic pregnancy story line- fainting and nausea is the tell all sign that a soap character may be pregnant. Maxie, like Molly, would find herself in a situation that isn’t exactly ideal. Molly’s situation is obviously a predicament since the father of her baby would not be the man whom she is engaged. Maxie’s situation isn’t as cut and dry. Maxie herself doesn’t know that Peter August (Wes Ramsey) is living a double life as he commits crimes and pins them on others, while lying to Maxie’s face. Will Maxie find out who Peter really is and raise their baby alone or will Peter redeem himself and change his ways when he finds out he’s going to be a father?

Only time will tell! We can’t wait for new episodes of General Hospital and watch it all u fold.

General Hospital News: GH Limits Cast, New Exits Could Be Underway

The recommended guidelines for LA County film studios to follow upon returning to work is a laundry list of to-dos in order to help keep the cast and crew healthy and safe from contracting Covid-19.

Among those restrictions includes the amount of people that are allowed to be on set and in a scene at any given time.

Genera Hospital rumors have been circulating regarding the future of Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) as her character seems unredeemable at this point in time. Before quarantine, Nelle married Julian Jerome (William DeVry) in a pathetic attempt to one up her ex, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and his new bride Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), while trying to gain custody of their son, Wiley. GH rumors hint that Nelle may be approaching the end of her days as she married Julian, a mobster, and things may not end well for Nelle.

In other General Hospital spoilers, it’s been apparent that Sonny’s father, Mike Corbin (Max Gail) is living his final days in the company of his son, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), his wife Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), along with the entire Corinthos family, and close friends. Although this story line was already in the works, it may be hurried up a bit in order to minimize the number of cast members on set during the early times of returning to work with Covid-19.

The details of when and how GH will resume production are still unclear, however, the July 20th date remains on the table.

Genera Hospital Blog will keep fans up to date on the lates information regarding the production of new GH episodes ar Prospect Studios in Los Angeles.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nelle’s Unexpected Connection With Port Charles Villains Could Explain So Much…

Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) has become much more than a pest to those who live in Port Charles. Over the course of the time this young woman has been living in town, the residents have been able to see Nelle’s true colors after being fooled for so long.

Bobbie Spencer (Jackie Zeman) saw through Nelle almost immediately as Nelle was pulling the wool over Carly Corinthos’ (Laura Wright) eyes. Carly was blinded by Nelle saving her daughter, Josslyn Jacks’ (Eden McCoy) life with her kidney. Nelle has managed to infiltrate her way into the Corinthos family first through Joss and Carly, then Carly’s son Michael (Chad Duell), and husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). She has reeked havoc on all their lives, becoming a psychopathic villain.

Other than Carly’s stepfather, Frank Benson, Nelle’s true lineage remains unknown. General Hospital spoilers indicate we will be finding more and more about Nelle’s biological makeup, which would include close relatives like biological parents and possible siblings.

Recent General Hospital rumors bring up two villains that could be potential biological parents of Nelle. Sonny’s current threat, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) is cut throat and shows no mercy. He is willing to go to great lengths to ruin Sonny which seems very familiar to what Nelle is capable of.

Nelle exhibits similar behavior to a prominent female mobster from Port Charles history. Faith Rosco (Cynthia Preston) was a dangerous psychopath who went after Sonny Corinthos and his family. Very similar to Nelle, these two women seem to have a lot in common. Like Faith, Nelle isn’t afraid of Sonny and his family. She didn’t hesitate to manipulate Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) by using her daughter Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) as leverage. Nelle is Joss’s kidney donor, and with that, Nelle was able to gain Carly’s trust from the get go, however, Bobbie Spencer (Jackie Zeman) saw right through Nelle from the beginning. Nelle then worked her way into Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) good graces, manipulating bane seducing him. She then somehow managed to intertwine herself into Sonny’s life, driving a wedge between him and Carly.

General Hospital rumors hint that Nelle’s background will be explored more deeply, revealing connections to Port Charles history. General Hospital rumors and spoilers suggest that Nelle could be the daughter of Cyrus Renault and Faith Rosco, which would explain her hated for the Corinthos family and her similar ways to her potential mom, Faith. These three would make a nice little family unit, and a huge threat to Sonny and his family.

Is it possible that Nelle is their daughter? Will Cynthia Preston return to reprise her role as the female mobster, Faith Rosco?

General Hospital Spoilers: Jason And Sam Face New Obstacles; Will It Tear Them Apart?

Jason Morgan and Sam McCall the night they met.

Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) have been to Hell and back, faced death, and have been reborn. But do JaSam have what it takes to stand the test of time?

Sam has always been a fighter since the beginning. The moment Jason knew Sam’s true strength was when watching her fight through the grief of losing her baby daughter, Lila. That is when the true connection between Jason and Sam began. There have been countless moments of love and admiration for one another, but not alongside devastation and sorrow. These two have made their way back to each other time and time again, and many fans believe there is no reason things should differ this time around.

Sam is having a tough go, as she has been ordered to stay away from her true love while she is on parole for a crime she never even committed. All while Jason is trying to be responsible and told Sam he cannot see her anymore, not now, not until the time is right. Sam has always put her love for Jason first, and it never mattered what the consequences were. Some fault her for that, saying she is selfish and impatient. Sam just fights for what she loves.

The way Sam sees it, Jason has rejected her. Although that has never been Jason’s intentions, Sam believes Jason has abandoned her but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

General Hospital spoilers hint to a rocky road ahead for this iconic couple. As the days of dragon slaying seem for away in the last for this Bonnie and Clyde type duo, Jason and Sam seem to be struggling with menial, mundane, drama that’s been dragging these two down.

Are they worth fighting for? Will Jason and Sam find their way back to one another?

General Hospital Spoilers: Dev’s Connection To Port Charles Revealed; Will Brenda Barrett Return To Reunite With Someone?

Mother and Son?

Dev Cerci’s (Ashton Arbab) true background has remained a mystery since moving to Port Charles. Although the ever trusting, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), thinks nothing of Dev’s intentions, his right hand man, and very intuitive, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), thinks there may be more than meets the eye.
Genera Hospital rumors have claimed Dev to be the son of Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), Sonny’s ex, and Alec Janacek Jr. (Antonie Knoppers). Alec was son of The Balkan, whom is now deceased, but was an enemy of Sonny. Both men have died at the hand of someone connected to Sonny. Dev Cerci kept bringing up that he was from Turkey and how important his traditions were to be carried on. He and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) had a tender moment when discussing Dev’s heritage and traditions. Genera Hospital rumors hint that the geographic connection of Dev’s background makes perfect sense when claiming Dev is the Grandson of The Balkan.
Genera Hospital news and spoilers pointed out Maurice Benard’s take on having Vanessa Marcil return to the role of Brenda Barrett. In a recent article by GH Blog, it was revealed that Maurice thinks bringing Vanessa back is a “no brained.” That being said, as Dev’s character develops, and we learn more about his past, General Hospital rumors hint that Brenda will return to reunite with her son- Dev.
