General Hospital spoilers have leaked multiple hints in regard to what the writers have up their sleeve in the very near future. Every year around this time, Halloween and November Sweeps, the GH Execs tend to amp up their game when it comes to edge-of-your-seat suspense and drama. It seems that this year will not disappoint!

In General Hospital comings and goings, reports have gone back and forth on the topic of Tyler Christopher, and the characgter he made iconic in the world of Daytime Drama, Nikolas Cassadine. As the story line unfolds it is becoming clearer which direction the Cassadine family story line will lead. I mean, what is The Cassadine dynasty without Nikolas Cassadine? The plot is being set up for Nik to return to Port Charles and the writers are dropping hints. General Hospital spoilers have revealed yet news has not yet confirmed a return for this fan favorite.

Even though it’s pretty clear Nikolas Cassadine is headed to Port Charles for this story line involving many PC residents, including Nik’s mom, Laura Spencer, Dr. Kevin Collins, Elizabeth Webber, Ava Jerome, Hayden Barnes, of course, Valentin Cassadine, and more, it remains uncertain who will take on the role of this beloved and vetted character. General Hospital rumors have named OLTL alum, Jason Shane Scott, who played William Rappaport from July, 1998 to October, 2007, as a potential recast.

Do you want to see Tyler Christopher return to General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine, or would you like to see a recast for the role?

Who is Alexander Quartermaine?

Word out on the street is that Roger Howarth (ex-Todd Manning OLTL and GH) will return to General Hospital as Alexander Quartermaine. Due to the legal restrictions with the name Todd Manning, Howarth will not be returning to General Hospital as his previous character, Todd Manning, Father of Starr Manning.

Many fans are concerned about the relationship that was blossoming between Carly and Todd. Perhaps this new character will get involved with Carly. Leave a comment below and let us know how you feel about this change.

GH’s Kristen Alderson, Michael Easton, and Roger Howarth are Happy to Return to Port Charles!

After the April 11th announcement by ABC that the OLTL trio, Alderson, Easton, and Howarth will be returning to GH on may 10th, 2013, the actors were able to express their feelings towards the decision. Kristen Alderson and Michael Easton used social media to reach out to their fans. Alderson sent out a tweet expressing her excitement and Easton wrote on his Facebook page, “SEE YOU AGAIN IN MAY… with love and thanks.”

The three actors will be entering General Hospital in brand new roles. I am very excited and interested to see that wonderful work of Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati with this huge challenge.

Starr Manning Leaving General Hospital?

The news regarding the OLTL trio (Starr Manning, Todd Manning, and John McBain) has been up in the air since the actors left GH due to legal issues. Since the announcement of the revival of All My Children and One Life to Live, the fate of Starr, Todd, and John lies in the hands of those who own their character names. Prospect Park, the production company responsible for the online renewals of the two canceled ABC soaps stakes their claim in the characters names that had recently found a home in Port Charles.

The characters left Port Charles about a month ago and were said to be coming back. However, it remained unclear as to whether the actors would return to General Hospital under the same character names or if they would legally have to return under new identities. Today on General Hospital, Michael was on the phone with Starr telling her all about the Nurses Ball. Suddenly he was saddened and shocked as it was obvious that Starr was telling him that she wouldn’t be returning to Port Charles.

At this time, we are unaware of what lies ahead for Starr and her OLTL co-stars Todd and John McBain. Perhaps this phone call between Starr and Michael was just buying time until her return. It could also be a transition of eliminating the character all together, or prepping for the actress (Kristen Alderson) to be part of General Hospital under a different character’s name. General Hospital Blog hopes that something can be worked out so that these three actors can return to the canvas and reside in Port Charles once again. We miss them!

McBain, Todd, and Starr Manning to Return to GH as New Characters

TV Guide Magazine has reported some new news regarding the departure of John McBain (Michael Easton), Starr Manning (Kristen Alderson), and Todd Manning (Roger Howarth) from General Hospital. The trio was forced to leave GH due to some legal issues involving the reboot of Prospect Park’s OLTL. Everyone has been wondering what will happen with these actors and their characters if and when they return to GH. Well good news is, they get to return. Bad news is, they may be forced to take on new roles.

OLTL owns the rights to the three characters and GH Head Writer, Ron Carlivati is working hard to come up with intuitive ways to work around this problem. Starr, Todd, and John have become staples in their new Port Charles lives and it wil be difficult to work around this but they will do whatever needs to be done.

This news has not yet been confirmed by General Hospital or ABC. It also has not been denied.

Prospect Park just released a statement regarding the status of characters John McBain, Starr Manning, and Todd Manning.

After Michael Easton’s announcement on Facebook regarding the legal issues tied to the reason he would have to leave GH on February 8th, ABC made a statement saying that  they plan on Easton, Alderson, and Howarth remaining at GH after all. Although Prospect Park has a licensing agreement for the characters of John McBain, Todd Manning, and Starr Manning, the actors are still under contract with General Hospital. ABC is trying to come up with a plan to keep these characters on the show. They mentioned the possibility of changing John McBain’s name permanently to Caleb Morley. As for Starr and Todd, there hasn’t been any developments on how ABC will pull off a character change without confusing the viewers. General Hospital Blog will keep you informed as new developments are posted. Thank You!
