Richard Simmons, who was born Milton Teagle Simmons, rose to stardom when his fitness program gained popularity in the 1980s. He was the epitome of fitness and health, and bundled a book called, Never Say Diet. Additionally, Simmons’s numerous accomplishments served as the foundation for his fame and success.
Aside from his book, Richard Simmons hosted his own fitness classes. Sooner than later, his workouts were on VHS in homes across America. Truthfully, my mom had ALL of the VHS tapes to his Sweatin’ To The Oldies workout program. (Of course I did them with her! 🤣).
Furthermore, Simmons put his skills to good use when he joined the cast of ABC’s General Hospital. In 1979, he was brought onto the canvas as himself. According to General Hospital recaps, it all started with a disco. Eventually, Richard landed a spot as part of the iconic GH Nurses Ball.
Sadly, General Hospital news reports confirms that Richard Simmons has died at the age of 76. Reportedly, Simmons turned 76 one day prior on Friday, July 12th. General Hospital news reports confirm that Simmons’s housekeeper called 911 after she found him unresponsive in his home. Sources state that the fitness legend died of natural causes. Previously, Simmons shared a message via social media about death. Back in March he announced he was dying after a skin cancer diagnosis.
General Hospital Blog remembers Richard and the joy his spirit brought to so many people. Particularly my mother. She enjoyed his workouts and outgoing personality. Please keep Richard and his loved ones in your prayers. Rest in Peace!
Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) had finally come to terms with her battle with Huntington’s Disease. Also, she was coping with the loss of her love interest, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Furthermore, Dr. Westbourne and her mother were closer than ever.
GH recaps recall that Britt and Jason were well on their way to becoming a fan-favorite phenomenon when Burton was let go from the ABC Soap Opera. It took a bit for Dr. Westbourne to cope with his loss, but she was making progress. Then, Britt died tragically and inadvertently as one of the hook killer’s victims. That’s when Thiebaud announced that she was moving to London.
General Hospital news reports confirm that Thiebaud left the daytime drama series in the beginning of 2023. That’s when shortly after, ABC announced Steve Burton’s shocking exit.
Is Kelly Thiebaud Returning To General Hospital
Well, there’s no denying that GH fans received their most desired with when General Hospital brought Steve Burton back to the canvas. Now, general Hospital spoilers indicate that Kelly Thiebaud could live out the same fate. Will Kelly return to GH as Dr. Britt Westbourne? Recent GH news and spoilers indicate that Thiebaud dropped a hint on Instagram.
According to a recent IG comment, Kelly tells her fans that she has tried to return to General Hospital. At this time it’s unclear whether she was told yes, no, or not now. But “I tried” sounds like Thiebaud approached GH Executives and may have been turned down (for now). Despite the fact that we saw Britt die in her mother’s arms, it’s not uncommon for characters to Soap Opera characters to return from the dead.
Was Britt’s death too concrete to ever bring this character back?
The General Hospital cast has spent 61 years carrying on the tales of Port Charles. The nature of their work requires early and late call times, and extensive hours spent at the studio.
For many GH stars, Prospect Studios has become a second home. Understandably, the hours spent together on and off set opens the door for developing relationships. Although actors do come and go, many have remained a part of the General Hospital family for the duration of the Soap Opera’s continued existence.
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that two GH family members have recently reunited. General Hospital legend Tony Geary (Luke Spencer) retired from ABC’s longest running drama series in the Summer of 2015. Almost ten years later, GH’s Sam Morgan decided to go see her dear friend.
According to General Hospital spoilers, the two stars reunite when Kelly Monaco visits Tony Geary in Amsterdam. GH news reports that Monaco spent time with Geary and his husband Claudio Gama.
GH spoilers reveal that Claudio Gama shared pics and videos of Kelly’s recent Amsterdam stay. Take a look at the good times in the pics and video below.

Mayor Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) went down the road less traveled. She doesn’t have many supporters now that she is advocating for Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) freedom.
According to the latest General Hospital previews, Genie Francis shares the screen with Alley Mills when Laura pays Heather a visit. Port Charles is upon arms over the Mayor’s decision to pursue Heather’s metallosis as a way vindicate her from her past crimes. Understandably, Portia Robinson is Laura’s strongest protester because of Heather Webber’s threat to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Dr. Robinson can’t fathom how Laura could possibly believe that Heather deserves an excuse for what she’s done to so many.
Laura Spencer Regrets Helping Heather
General Hospital spoilers and previews tease that Laura pays Heather a visit. They’ll discuss Heather’s metallosis and her potential freedom. For the most part, the city of Port Charles doesn’t want to see Heather go free. Laura is risking her career as Mayor, sticking her neck out for a murderer.
Will Laura risk her career, as well as her relationships as she takes the nexts steps toward Heather Webber’s freedom? Whether or not Heather knew what she was doing, she still committed heinous crimes. At best, I think she should get to plead insanity. However, setting Heather free is a recipe for disaster.
Last week, General Hospital’s Executive Producer Frank Valentini dropped a major hint. He teased of a big-time character return, and fans haven’t put it down since.
Previously, General Hospital Blog shared a recent article about Bryan Craig’s potential GH return. GH news reports confirmed that Craig teased fans when he replied to a comment about an upcoming character return. Take a look below for the details.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors hint that GH will resurrect Morgan Corinthos. Recently, Craig has been dropping what fans believe are little Easter eggs for what’s ahead. Bryan’s latest hint was a message to co-Star and TV dad, Maurice Benard. It looks like Bryan and Maurice are in character as Bryan wrote “Happy Father’s Day,” to Benard.
Do you think that Bryan Craig is trying to tell us something with his cryptic Easter egg posts? According to GH spoilers, Frank Valentini teases fans about an upcoming surprise return. Furthermore, Craig’s suspicious X comments add to the recent GH rumors about his return. So, many believe that Sonny Corinthos’s son Morgan returns from the dead. Will Sonny and Carly reunite with their youngest son?
Jason Morgan has always been the reason that Sam and Carly resent each other. Despite how far they’re come, Jason’s two leading ladies can’t ignore the fact that they’ve spent their adult lives fighting for the same man’s attention.
GH history tells the story of how Carly and Jason’s history comes before he ever met Sam. Although romance wasn’t really in the cards for Jason and Carly, she’s always been Jason’s highest priority. That is until Samantha McCall (Kelly Monaco) came into Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) life. Suddenly, Carly was second fiddle, while somehow still remaining Jason’s priority. According to GH history, Sam and Carly had resentment toward each other as they fought to be Jason’s number one. At some point, Sam came first and Carly felt rejected. But everything. Smoothed out eventually so that they could all live in harmony. Then, Sam dipped out on Jason, and Carly remained his BFF forever.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that feelings get stirred up when Sam confronts Carly about Jason. His three year absence has left them full of questions. Now, Sam is the one with the answers. According to the latest GH spoilers, Sam tells Carly the hard truth about why Jason was gone.
Will Carly find out that she’s the reason for Jason’s troubles?
Violet Finn (Jophielle Love) is the number one priority in the situation involving Dr. Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton). Finn’s daughter is loved by many. But no know loves a child more than a parent. Sadly, Violet hasn’t grown up near her mom. However, the sweet little girl has grown closer and closer to her father through Hayden Barnes’s (Rebecca Budig) absence. Now she and her father are two peas in a pod.
General Hospital spoilers and previews indicate that Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) do their best to help Finn. Well, in their eyes, they are doing what’s best to help Chase’s troubled older brother. But GH spoilers and rumors tease that they don’t exactly get the outcome they’d hoped for. Actually, GH rumors tease that Chase and Brook Lynn destroy Finn when they try to take Violet from him. As it turns out, Tracy (Jane Elliot) was right. Finn lives for that little girl.
Do you think that BLQ and Chase are taking things too far if they proceed with their plan to remove Violet from Finn’s home? I don’t typically give my personal opinion because it usually doesn’t go very well. But I have to say that I think BLQ and Chase are making a big mistake.
Hamilton Finn turned into his darkest fears when he gave into temptation in more ways than one. Not only did Finn drink the night away as a recovering alcoholic, but he also cheated on the woman he loves.
General Hospital previews indicate that Finn Pleads With Elizabeth. The aftermath of his fateful night with Barb awakens like that hangover Finn is fighting. It’s going to be rough but will Elizabeth stand by him after his confession? Moreover, Finn won’t only have to answer to Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), and of course Violet will be impacted as well.
Finn and Barb’s One Night Stand
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Finn begs Elizabeth for forgiveness. His night with Barb has some serious consequences, and not just with Elizabeth. GH rumors hint that Chase knows his brother all too well and predicts what’s in store for Finn and his family. Odds are that Finn won’t be able to forgive himself for what he’s done to Elizabeth. Furthermore, the good doctor will have to navigate through this dark time keeping Violet as his priority. The road is about to get bumpy for Finn. Will Elizabeth stay along for the ride?
Elizabeth Is Devastated Over Finn’s One Night Stand
Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) is a complex man. His troubled past has crept up on him after his father’s death. Currently, he struggles with his emotions and the added pressure to stay sober.
General Hospital comings and goings report that Devon Ogden joins GH as Barb. Look for Barb (Devon) to air this week on General Hospital. According to GH spoilers and rumors Devon will play the role of Barb. Elizabeth and Finn’s relationship is in jeopardy when Barb is right there when Finn is in need.
Finn Cheats On Elizabeth- Will Elizabeth Forgive Finn’s One Night Stand?
Dr. Finn’s struggles manifest into destructive behaviors. Apparently, Barb plays a role in his downfall when Finn betrays Elizabeth. His actions have serious consequences. Elizabeth Webber stands by Finn while he navigates through his feelings. But how far is too far? Will Elizabeth stand by Finn even after he makes the biggest mistake of their relationship?
General Hospital fans got a big surprise at this past weekend’s GH event. Last weekend, Coastal Entertainment presented the “Men of General Hospital Event in New York.
General Hospital news reports confirm that Donnell Turner and James Patrick Stuart accompanied Josh Kelly in New York as the “Men of General Hospital.” Additionally, GH star Josh Kelly brought along a very memorable “Woman of General Hospital.”
Are GH’s Josh Kelly and Chloe Lanier Dating?
According to the latest General Hospital spoilers, General Hospital stars Josh Kelly (Cody Bell) and former GH villain Chloe Lanier surprised fans when “Nelle Benson” arrived at the fan event alongside Kelly. That’s where Josh and Nelle went public with their relationship. It’s official, Josh and Chloe are dating!
These two never crossed paths in Port Charles as Nelle and Cody. But Chloe and Josh have gotten close. Do you think thay Cody Bell and Nelle Benson would have ever send a chance?
