General Hospital: Maxie Jones Recast, Nicole Paggi Steps In For Kristen Storms
Details Surrounding the latest Maxie Jones Recast- Although she’s not the face we typically see in the told of Maxie Jones, GH fans still saw a familiar face in Kirsten Storms’s place on General Hospital’s July 3rd episode.
Recently on General Hospital, Nicole Paggi took over as Maxie Jones due to a scheduling conflict with actress Kirsten Storms. This isn’t the sits time that the Hope and Faith actress portrayed Maxie. According to General Hospital news, Paggi took over for Storms in December of 2023.
The latest General Hospital casting news reports confirm that Storms will be out for a few episodes due to a scheduling conflict. The cast and crew of GH have a fast paced filming process that typically involves filing more than one episode per day. That said, Paggi will air as Maxie again on July 30th, and then once more on August 13th. Reportedly, Kirsten Storms can be seen as Maxie the week of August 18th.
Does Natalia die on GH?! Natalia has been a controversial character since her arrival in Port Charles. Eva LaRue joined General Hospital in February of 2024, and instantly made an impression on the people of Port Charles, as well as General Hospital fans. Her TV daughter Alison, aka Blaze (Jaqueline Grace Lopez), was romantically involved with Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) daughter, Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi). Natalia made it clear that she didn’t support her daughter’s LGBTQ status, which wasn’t received well by many.
However, Natalia did in fact self reflect and come to some type of understanding and honesty with herself and Blaze. Then, she and Sonny grew closer until her ex husband, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) waltzed into town. That’s why Natalia ultimately betrayed Sonny by hiding truth and spilling tea that wasn’t hers to spill. Now she’s gotten herself into some hot water.
This week in General Hospital, it looks like Natalia goes on another drinking bender. Her alcohol consumption has already gotten her into her current mess, and she unintentionally dragged Sonny with her. GH recaps recall that Sonny offered Natalia a new life in exchange for her silence. DA Turner’s (Nanzeen Contractor) deal was less than ideal, and Sonny figured that sending Natalia away is the best solution for the predicament. But when Natalia learned that things weren’t as they seemed, she wasn’t too happy.
General Hospital: Natalia’s Furious With Sonny
Is Eva LaRue Leaving General Hospital?
Coming up on General Hospital, Natalia blows up the plan to leave Port Charles- (pun initially unintended lol). She’s drunk and furious, which could be a lethal combination. According to General Hospital spoilers, there’s an explosion at Charlie’s. Is Natalia behind the Blaze (wow that worked out again lol) that sets Kristina’s bar up in flames?
Daytime star Eva LaRue is well known for her role as Dr. Maria Santos on ABC’s All My Children. LaRue was previously nominated for Daytime Emmys in 1997 for Outstanding Original Song for co-writing, “Dance Again with You,” and again in 2004 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. But in 2020, Eva LaRue won her first Daytime Emmy, and took home Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series for her role as Celeste Rosales on The Young and the Restless.
Reportedly, LaRue joined General Hospital as Natalia Rogers-Ramirez about a year and a half ago. During that time she made her debut, and stirred up controversy in Port Charles. Natalia got close to Sonny Corinthos, and then her shady past caught up with her. Sidwell was revealed as her ex-husband, and she betrayed Sonny’s trust. Now, she’s a liability.
General Hospital: Jordan Comes Between Portia and Curtis
Do you see it coming? Curtis Betrays Portia With Jordan?! …Mr. Honesty is an understatement if we are referring to the way Curtis Ashford perceived himself. He thinks he’s the creator of the word- and all else fall beneath him as Chairman of the Trust Club. Honestly, (no pun intended), Mr. High and Mighty is more like it.
This week on General Hospital, things heat up between Curtis and his ex-wife Jordan. As we all know, (because he makes it a point to tell the world over and over again), Curtis left Jordan because he couldn’t get passed the fact that she kept a work related secret from him. Despite knowing the nature of her job, Curtis still chose to take her omissions personally. Ultimately, he ended their marriage over trust issues.
General Hospital Recaps: Recently, Curtis admitted that he thinks he may have made the wrong decision; that he gave up in his marriage to Jordan prematurely. Uh, oh! Curtis is having regrets about leaving Jordan- while married to Portia! Their poolside conversation down memory lane sucked them into their own little world. Sadly, Portia was there to see it all go down right before her eyes.
Can they deny the obvious and inevitable? It seems as though Curtis and Jordan never really got over their feelings for each other. According to recent General Hospital spoilers, Curtis betrays Portia with Jordan.
What would Mr. Honesty have to say for himself if he ever cheated on Portia with Jordan? Hypocrisy at its finest.
General Hospital: Sidwell and Sonny Fight For Port Charles
From custody battles to mob wars, peace in Port Charles seems like a distant memory. Unfortunately, one family is involved with both. It’s been one thing after another in Port Charles, especially for the Corinthos family, the fight is far from over. Now with things heating up in the mob world, Sidwell Leaves Sonny No Choice but to fight for what is his.
This week on General Hospital, Sidwell and Sonny talk business. In a stinging confession to Sonny, Sidwell admits that his goal is to eliminate Sonny’s influence in PC. He’s the new bad boy in town and now he’s not afraid to show it.
There are people in town who have nothing better to do than to meddle in unfamiliar territory. People that essentially know nothing about the business and only see what they want to see when it comes to Sonny Corinthos. And by people I mean Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot). That woman was willing to partner up with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) in her desperate attempt to drive Sonny out of Port Charles. While still being way off base about, at least others like ADA Justine Turner (Nanzeen Contractor) have a civic responsibility to take interest in taking down Sonny and organized crime.
The latest General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest that Sidwell gives Sonny no choice when it comes to a mob war. Now that he finally sees Sidwell as the threat that he is, Sonny means business. Once again, Sonny must fight for what is his.

In December of 2024, Emma Scorpio Drake unexpectedly returned to Port Charles. Her grandmother Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) was just as surprised as the next guy to see Emma back in town. For all Anna knew, her granddaughter was as away at college in California at UC Berkeley.
At first, Emma’s return sparked controversy among GH fans and (fictional) confusion among Emma’s close family. The Emma everyone knew was no more when Braedyn Bruner stepped into the role following the fan-adored Brooklyn Silzer. Additionally, the character’s entire personality did an 180.° Grown up Emma presented a contrast drastic enough to have resulted from a lobotomy. Eventually, we were able to see the sweet and even vulnerable sides to Emma.
Sadly, sweet little Emma was left in the past. It didn’t take long for fans to get on board with the new Emma- the actress and the personality. In fact, Braedyn Bruner has captivated fans in her rendition of Emma, and has become an storyline front runner. From the looks of things, Emma and Gio have potential for romance if the writers keep up the good work. According to General Hospital news reports, Bruner’s Emma, and Emma paired with Gio Palmieri (Gio Mazza) continue to receive positive feedback from GH fans all over social media.
Emma and Dalton’s Past- What’s Emma Hiding?
General Hospital Recaps: Anna knew something was up based on Emma’s new, bad girl attitude. But as the story unfolded over these past five months, the former WSB agent began questioning the validity of every story told involving Emma.
According to the documentation obtained by Anna from the WSB, Emma and professor Dalton have crossed paths prior to Port Charles. Coincidentally (or not), both Emma Scorpio Drake and Henry Dalton were involved in a classified scandal at UC Berkeley, and somehow both wound up in Port Charles. So, GH fans have been wondering how Professor Dalton doesn’t remember Emma from his lab at UC Berkeley. It’s possible that she was only part of the break-in as students attempted to avenge abused animals in the lab.
General Hospital Spoilers: Someone is hiding something that’s for sure. At this point the focus is on Dalton’s it’s Dalton’s undisclosed lab project. Meanwhile, General Hospital rumors tease that Emma is harboring a seismic directive!
Next week on General Hospital Jason begins to help Anna dig into Dalton. Will he figure out what Emma has been hiding?
General Hospital: Kelly Thiebaud Returns To General Hospital
Reportedly, Frank Valentini has confirmed that Kelly Thiebaud returns to General Hospital! Kelly’s character Dr. Westbourne died in her mother Liesl Obrecht’s (Kathleen Gati) arms after her very own birthday bash at The Savoy. In the land of soap operas, it’s perfectly normal to come back from the dead however, the way Bri died makes it a difficult death to resurrect.
Immediately following Jonathan Jackson’s GH exit news another General Hospital casting change was confirmed. According to recent General Hospital news reports the 62-year-old daytime drama is bringing Kelly Thiebaud back to the canvas. Executive Producer Frank Valentini confirmed the actress’s return and shared his enthusiasm for what’s ahead. “I am thrilled to have Kelly back on our show,” Frank Valentini revealed. “We have some great twists and turns planned for her character.”
according to General Hospital spoilers and rumors Kelly Thiebaud return may not equal Dr. Britt Westbourne’s return. Although the actress told Deadline, “It’s good to be home,” that doesn’t mean she will play the same role. If you really take a look at Frank’s statement, he does not mention Britt’s return. However, he does state that there will be a lot of twist and turns for her character- never specifying the character’s identity.
Upon leaving the latest GH news about Thiebaud’s return, fans wonder if The Britch is back or if Kelly will portray someone new. Keep checking in with General Hospital Blog for updates. Kelly is set to return to the screen this July.
The streets of Port Charles are plagued with creepy dudes. Lately, Professor Dalton and Drew Cain have upped their weirdo game and now it’s hard to tell who is worse. These two don’t know it, but they are competing for the title of biggest creep. First, we have the new guy in Port Charles. Professor Dalton has arrived in Port Charles after fleeing from California. He was a professor at UC Berkeley, where Emma Scorpio Drake lived in California with her parents, Drs. Patrick and Robin Scorpio-Drake.
Aside from the fact that the WSB has launched an investigation into Professor Henry Dalton, he seems creepy on a whole other level. The way he laughs around both Anna (Finola Hughes) and Emma (Braedyn Bruner), the way he stares, and planning alone time with his student are not signs of a wholesome gentleman.
Then we have Drew. Good ole Drew Cain (desirably Quartermaine) went from noble hero to wife stealing creepy uncle before our eyes. Drew is a manipulative liar and has home wrecked his own nephew’s life. If Drew had his way he would whisk Willow, Amelia, Wiley, and Scout far away from Port Charles and their families. Additionally, Drew was sleeping with Willow’s mother, Nina (Cynthia Watros). Neither Nina nor Drew have bothered to tell Willow the truth- but we all know that won’t last too much longer.
We all know that our feelings for Drew are mutual among us GH fans. Meanwhile, Drew and Willow continue to hold the first place title for most hated couple currently on General Hospital. As for Dalton, we have only begun to see what he’s all about. But from the way things appear, the intriguing professor’s creeper rating could even surpass Drew.
General Hospital: GH’s Kate Mansi (Kristina Corinthos Davis) and fiancé Matt McInnis

The actors have revealed that being on set is like a second home. And the people, the co-stars, they are like second family. They seem to root each other on in good times, and support one another when times get tough in real life. Not just reel life.

Can’t wait to marry you…”
Meanwhile, from the looks of things, General Hospital spoilers tease that Kate got what she wished for and is already married to the man of her dreams.

Mazza captioned the video, Happy! Surprise! Wedding! Mazza visibly tagged both Mansi and McInnis’s Instagram profiles, and referred to the couple as, “The dynamic duo! So much joy and love🫶🏻🫶🏻🥳🥳.”

GH Rumors Tease That Cody Moves On With Lulu Or Molly- What Trouble Could Possibly Arise?
General Hospital rumors hint that Cody has two chances to move on from Sasha, and those chances are named Lulu and Molly. Cody and Lulu met when she escaped from the hospital and wandered around Port Charles after being in a coma for four years. She hitched a ride in classic Lulu style, and Cody matched Ms. Spencer’s witty banter the entire first encounter. Meanwhile, their close ties to friends and family have Cody and Lulu interacting quite often. And now that she and Dante have closed the door on any possible future rekindling, GH rumors hint that Lulu turns to Cody. These two have a lot in common with similar traits and mutual social circles. Lulu and Cody are both headstrong and can be impulsive- among other similarities such as strong and capable. Seems like they’d be a good match, doesn’t it?
On the other hand we have Molly. Cody and Molly started out rocky in their first few encounters, getting under each other’s skin. But they have that whole “opposites attract” thing going on, not to mention the classic “damsel in distress gets rescued by a cowboy” story too.
This week on General Hospital, new spoilers indicate that Lulu and Dante’s latest encounter resonates with both of them. Will Lulu need a shoulder to cry on? In addition, GH rumors tease that Molly reflects back on the night of the Nurse’s Ball. Having been mistaken for a couple with Cody creeps into her mind. Will she blow this off as intrusive thoughts, or will she become curious about Cody?
