Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) doesn’t seem to want to rest until she receives regular updates about her son, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). Dante had to leave his family in order to sew with a real, troubling issue. Dante suffers from PTSD and is seeking help for his condition.

General Hospital Spoilers: Couples Shake Up, Dustin Gets Closer To Brooklyn Amidst Lulu’s Dante Drama

General Hospital spoilers had previously revealed a past between Brooklyn Ashton Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Dustin Phillips (Mark Lawson) when they bumped into one another at The Floating Rib. Dustin stepped up to protect Brooklyn when she had an altercation with her music producer. That’s when Lulu Spencer Falconeri (Emme Rylan) discovered her boyfriend, Dustin, and her long time enemy, Brooklyn have a past.

It’s obvious that Lulu still cares for Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), as she confided in Laura while upset about a memory of her ex-husband. Lulu mentioned to her mom, Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) that her Dante has been away for a year already, and wondered if he will ever get well from his PTSD. Meanwhile, Brooklyn was giving the low down about Dante and Lulu to Dustin over at Kelly’s. General Hospital news and spoilers hint that this could be a clue Dante may be fixing to return to Port Charles in the near future.

General Hospital spoilers hint that Brooklyn and Dustin’s past won’t always remain there. As Dustin learns more and more about Lulu and Dante, General Hospital rumors claim he and Brooklyn will get closer. General Hospital rumors also claim that upon Dante’s return to Port Charles, he will shake things up between his ex-wife, Lulu, and her new boyfriend, Dustin, driving a wedge and pushing Dustin closer to Brooklyn.

If Dante returns, could he and Lulu reunite and be a family again? Nothing would make Dante’s mom, Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) happier. General Hospital and Dante and Lulu fans would be ecstatic to see these two get back together.

General Hospital Ins and Outs and Summer Recast!

There will be a lot of characters walking in and out of Port Charles this Summer on General Hospital. General Hospital Blog has previously reported that Jeffrey Vincent Parise (Carlos Rivera) is OUT, and it doesn’t look like he will be returning. Sean Blakemore is also on his way out at GH as Sonny’s enforcer, Shawn Butler. In the midst of his legal troubles, and baby mama drama with Jordan (Vinessa Antoine), Shawn will be leaving Port Charles, will he take his son TJ with him?

Finola Hughes will be off for the Summer as Anna Devane will leave Port Charles since the death of Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan). Ian Buchanan has been out at GH since early May.

Lisa LoCicero will be on maternity leave for the majority of this Summer. Olivia and Ned will exit PC, as Wally Kurth has landed a role on Days of Our Lives.

Tony Geary is set to return to GH this Summer so that Luke Spencer can say goodbye to his loved ones in Port Charles. Geary is retiring for good, but we have good news that has confirmed Genie Francis will return as Laura Spencer for Geary’s exit. GH rumors have speculated that more GH alum will be returning to the canvas for Luke’s big goodbye. Jonathan Jackson who has played Lucky Spencer on GH, is currently on ABC’s Nashville. While Nashville is on Summer hiatus, it is highly possible that we will see Lucky return to Port Charles to see his dad, Luke, off.

General Hospital rumors have teased with one particular possibility for quite a while. Fans have been up in arms when it comes to Robin Scorpio Drake. Some want her back, some want her to stay gone, and others are willing to accept a recast. Although a recast of a fan favorite has been done in the past (Billy Miller taking Stave Burton’s place as Jason Morgan), it’s highly unlikely that Kimberly McCullough, who originated the character Robin will be recast. McCullough’s status with General Hospital remains unknown. However, there are a couple other possibilities for a Summer recast. Some claim that bringing Liz Webber’s sister, Sarah back to Port Charles is in the works, and since ABC’s fan February contest, social media has been buzzing that Serena Baldwin will make a return.

General Hospital Favorite On His Way Out

Lately is seems like characters come and go through Port Charles as quickly as the wind blows. Whether it’s a vet character that has come back from the dead or back from a long mysterious disappearance, or a fresh new face, we have been seeing a lot of comings in goings in the last 2 years. A few characters make small appearances here and there, and their story lines are left open ended, giving them the opportunity to return.

General Hospital rumors have been circulating around social media sites that long time General Hospital actor, Wally Kurth is leaving the show to return to NBC’s Days of Our Lives. Ned Ashton has come and gone throughout the years, and his current story line has been a promising one. Currently, he has reconnected with his best friend and romantic interest, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). He is involved in a complicated love triangle involving Alexis and Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero). Olivia has made it known that she wants to be more than friends with Ned, but he is in a relationship with Alexis, who is only with Ned because she can’t be with Julian Jerome (William DeVry).

If the General Hospital rumors become true, and Wally Kurth is leaving General Hospital, that will leave Olivia with no one once again. It would be nice to see him stick around, to play out the story and end up with Olivia. What do you think will happen with Ned and Olivia?

Alexis Tries to Forget Julian and Moves On With…

Samantha Morgan’s (Kelly Monaco) parents have recently rekindled their old one-night-stand flame. Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) met Julian (William DeVry) one night when she was a teenager away at boarding school. She and Julian met at a bar and ended up sleeping together. This one night stand resulted in a pregnancy that the Cassadine clan wasn’t too proud of. Alexis was forced to give up her baby, and today we know that baby as the beautiful Samantha Morgan.

Julian Jerome is a mob boss and Alexis is a straight laced, mother of three, (Sam, Kristina, and Molly) and a lawyer. Julian had promised her that he left the business so that they could be together. Although his intentions were true, his boss had other plans for him. Julian was forced back into the business by threats from Fake Luke (Tony Geary). After Alexis realized that Julian is still very much involved with organized crime, she broke it off with him .

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Alexis is trying to forget all about Julian Jerome. General Hospital rumors indicate that Alexis will try to move on with her old pal Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth). However, since Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) and Ned have gotten a little closer since she and Sonny called it quits, it’s unlikely that Olivia will just sit back and watch Alexis move in on her new love interest.

Who do you think should become a new couple? Should Alexis be with Ned, or should Olivia and Ned see what develops in their love story?

Olivia and Ned Get Closer

Sonny always manages to hurt the people around him. His destruction knows no limits. It doesn’t matter if it’s his children that he hurts, his flavor of the week woman, his best friend, or his worst enemy. There always comes a point in his relationships where Sonny ends up hurting someone emotionally, or they are physically injured as a result of his business.

Sonny has hurt the Mother of his child yet again. No, we aren’t talking about Carly this time, but Olivia. Sonny cheated on Olivia with Ava Jerome and the situation goes so much deeper than just cheating. The reasoning behind the hook up may even be more reason to be angry than the act of cheating itself. Ava and Sonny are both involved in the killing of AJ Quartermaine. Olivia is hurt deeper than she could have imagined just by knowing Sonny slept with Ava. After a night of drowning her sorrows in alcohol, the damsel in distress was rescued by her knight in shining armor, Ned. He saved her from drunk dialing an animal shelter and adopting all the adorable puppies… which would result in Carly being very angry with their new “doggie hotel.” He was there for her as a shoulder to cry on and to hold back her hair when she was too drunk to do it herself. He gave her a nice warm place to sleep, and a listening ear. In the morning, Olivia thanked Ned for his hospitality and let him know that Lois was crazy for letting him get away.

Even though Sonny is the one who destroyed his relationship with Ava, when he finds out about Ned and Olivia’s new found friendship, it’s almost certain that he will take his temper to his usual level 10.

Will this be the beginning of a beautiful love story for Ned and Olivia? Seems like they have already started on the right foot. Man saves woman from emotional despair… doesn’t get much more romantic than that.

Do you think Ned and Olivia could be the next hot couple on GH?

General Hospital Shake Ups!

Wow, after that Anna/Dr. Obrecht shocker, whose to say what we are in for next! These recent story lines have been so intense and the actors have been doing such an amazing job conveying every single feeling and emotion into their stories. I don’t know about you, but I cried the entire time I saw Patrick, Emma, Elizabeth, and Robin on my screen. The whole time “Anna” was talking to Faison, I didn’t for one second think that it wasn’t really Anna. I loved the scene, and felt for Anna when she heard straight from the horses mouth that her daughter Robin was actually alive. Little did I know, it wasn’t Anna at all, but Dr. Obrecht in a mask. Faison has betrayed Obrecht and now she knows it. Faison was willing to tell Anna their entire plot and plan because he loves HER, not Dr. Obrecht. Disguised as Anna, Dr. O learned the harsh truth that Faison will always love Anna and will never return her feelings.

What will happen now that Dr. Obrecht knows Faison would have outed her and Jerry about Robin? I can only imagine she would be out for some intense revenge.

Now that Dr. Obrecht knows Faison will never love her and will always love Anna, will she reveal a secret? Who is Britt’s Father?

Will Robin make it home in time before her birthday is over?

Lisa LoCicero Talks Maurice Benard, Kelly Sullivan, Contracts and Exits!

In a recent interview found on MichaelFairmansoaps.com, Lisa LoCicero answers questions involving her story line, working with Maurice Benard, Olivia and Sonny’s relationship, losing Connie, and letting go of Kelly Sullivan on General Hospital.

When asked about Olivia’s hallucinations, she reveals that she gets mixed reviews from the fans. Some love it, some don’t, but regardless of what they are writing for her character, Lisa says she has a great time playing it all.

Lisa is happy to be working so closely with Maurice Benard. She feels that Olivia and Sonny have a long history and share a son together, which means becoming a real family is definitely a viable option.

In regards to the unfortunate news that actress Kelly Sillivan who plays Connie Falconeri/Kate Howard had been let go, Lisa explains what a difficult time it was for the cast who work closely with Kelly. Kelly is such a talented actress. It was a very emotional time filming the last scenes with her good friend and on screen cousin. She proceeds to elaborate on the coincidence of the two ladies announcements… during the same time, news came out that Kelly Sullivan had been let go from General Hospital while Lisa LoCicero had just signed a new contract with the show. It was a rough time for the cast and for the fans.
