Rebecca Budig Returns to GH with a Contract

RebeccaBudigThe ABC soap vet and All My Children alum, Rebecca Budig, joined the cast of General Hospital back in March of this year. She was brought on as her character was part of the Jason Morgan/Jake Doe story line. As of right now, in Port Charles, Hayden Barnes, played by Budig, holds the key to Jason’s true identity.

Sure, other people are aware that Jake Doe (Billy Miller) is actually Jason. Those people include, Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis). Well since Nikolas is the original person to harbor this secret and let Liz in on it because she is in love with Jake/Jason, and since Nik is now acting like a full blown Cassadine, there’s no chance of him or Liz coming clean. Nikolas told Lucky about this so that Lucky could have peace of mind if he decided to leave town. Knowing that Jason Morgan was caring for his children, Lucky felt it was right for him to leave and let Liz be happy. Therefore, Lucky has skipped town, and won’t be back to tell for the foreseeable future. Laura Spencer overheard a conversation Nikolas was having that she obviously was never meant to hear. Although she doesn’t agree with what Nikolas and Liz are doing, she feels that it isn’t her place to reveal the truth and expose their lies.

This leaves Hayden Barnes. Hayden is the woman that Nikolas out a hit out on in order to keep her quiet. Recently, Patrick has been receiving reports of her condition, that she is waking up.

General Hospital spoilers have revealed that Rebecca Budig has already started taping for GH, and her character will return this Fall. According to Soap Opera Digest, Budig has signed a contract with General Hospital and is here to stay… well at least she’s here until her contract is up.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on any news related to Rebecca’s status with GH.

General Hospital Spoilers: Little Jake Triggers Jason’s Memory

JakeLittleJakeThe revelation of the real Jason Morgan has become so over due that fans are well past the point of waiting patiently. At every turn of events, there is an opportunity for Jake to be revealed as Jason Morgan, yet those opportunities never materialize. More and more people now know that Jake Doe is actually Jason, and soon the secret will unravel.

Port Charles got a huge surprise last week when Elizabeth Webber’s son, Jake turned out to be alive. His adoptive father, Lucky brought him home. Jake had been in Helena’s custody since the accident caused by Luke. While Lucky was in town, he had a heart to heart with his brother Nikolas, which turned into another stepping stone to Jason’s true identity. Nik told Lucky that he and Liz are well aware that Jake is actually Jason. As of now, Lucky has decided not to tell Jake who he really is.

All this time fans have been tossing around ideas and theories of who could discover Jake is Jason. Elizabeth already knows and is keeping him all to herself. Fans have said Sam should figure it out since she is his wife, Sonny because he is his best friend along with Spinelli, Carly, etc. However, now there is someone else in the mix. Little Jake Webber may hold the key to Jake’s true identity. General Hospital spoilers have revealed that when meeting little Jake, Jake Doe had a flashback of playing with cars. Being around Liz’s son jarred a memory. Could little Jake be the one that brings Jake out of his amnesia? It would be quite ironic for Elizabeth, if the resurrection of her son whom she has longed to see again, was actually the demise of her relationship with his father, Jason Morgan.

We want to know what the fans think. How do you think this story will unfold?

Lucky’s Big Decision: Will He Reveal Jake as Jason?

LuckytruthNikolas may have a shred of decency left in him. After seeing Nik tell his brother Lucky the truth about Jason Morgan, maybe there is hope for him yet. What made Nikolas feel compelled to tell Lucky the truth? He told Luyxky that he wanted him to know, that no matter what his decision, the boys were in good hands. Whether or not Lucky stayed in Port Charles, Nikolas was trying to reassure him that Cameron, Aiden, and Jake, would be alright, either with Lucky, or with Jake as he is really Jason Morgan.

Nikolas is trying to rationalize his and Elizabeth’s decision to keep Jake’s identity a secret by using the fact that Sam is now with Patrick, and everyone who loved Jason has moved on. Lucky may not see things the same way. General Hospital spoilers reveal that at the end of Tuesday’s episode, Lucky was shown at Liz’s porch, ready to knock. When he saw Elizabeth, Jake (Jason), and little Jake inside playing happily, he turned away. That doesn’t mean that is the end of it. Lucky could still have a change of heart. Knowing that Jonathan Jackson is returning to Nashville makes fans well aware that Lucky Spencer won’t be sticking around Port Charles. That being said, perhaps Lucky will want Jake to know he is Jason, so that he can take care of little Jake while knowing he is his biological son.

Do you think Lucky will do the right thing and tell the truth about Jake’s true identity, or will he justify keeping the secret as Nik and Liz have?

General Hospital Spoilers: Head Writer Explains Why He Decided to Resurrect Little Jake Webber

RonCIt all makes perfect sense really. It was nothing the General Hospital writing team had planned on doing, but to them, and now to the fans, it completely makes sense in regard to Luke Spencer’s (Tony Geary) exit story. However, the lasting impact on resurrecting Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Jason Morgan’s (Billy Miler) son, Jake, will have a lasting impact on the people of Port Charles as a whole.

In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, General Hospital Head Writer, Ron Carlivati explains why they decided to bring little Jake back from the dead. He said, “It really was not something we were planning to do.”

Luke Spencer’s exist story had to be one for the books. Since Luke was the one who actually hit little Jake and caused his “death,” the writing team felt this was the perfect way to make Luke and Laura’s (Genie Francis) adventure to be as memorable as possible, while also leaving a great story for the rest of the town, even after Luke leaves the canvas.With all that is going on with Sam and Jason, Elizabeth and Jason (Jake), and Liz and Nikolas, having Jake be alive will stir the pot for many story lines.

For all the fans that have questioned little Jake’s organ donation, Carlivati explains, “We had to pull out a bag of tricks, and go to our go-to person, Helena Cassadine, for help, and made it work.”

So what does this mean for Elizabeth and Jake Doe? Sam and Jake (Jason)?…

Elizabeth is still hiding Jake’s true identity from him. Knowing that he is actually Jason Morgan, Liz is depriving the man she claims to love of his real wife, Sam (Kelly Monaco), and his son, Danny Morgan. General Hospital rumors speculated that Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), little Jake’s adoptive father, is on his way to inform Elizabeth of the news regarding their son. Once Liz finds out that Jake, her son with Jason is actually alive, will she finally tell Jake Doe that he is actually Jason? We think so. Judging from Liz’s past behaviors, it isn’t enough right now that Jason has a wife and son out there, but once she finds out THEIR son is alive, her whole tune is likely to change. In our opinion, we predict that Elizabeth will want the real Jason Morgan to get to know their son, little Jake and will ponder her decision to finally come clean, now that she too has a family again with Jason.

We want to know where you think this story will lead. Share this post and comment with your thoughts and theories.

General Hospital Spoilers: Michael Gives Avery Back!

SonnyAveryBaby Avery was born into chaos with Ava Jerome being her mother, and initially, the father unknown. Ava didn’t know if the father of her baby was her boyfriend Morgan’s, or his father Sonny’s baby. Ava slept with her boyfriend’s father in a night filled with guilt, drama, anger, and passion.

Sonny has had it out for Ava ever since he found out what she is really capable of. Sonny had been planning on how Ava will die once he found out that she is the one who killed his fiance, Connie Falconeri, causing Sonny to kill AJ out of anger and rage, and revenge. Ava’s only saving grace was that fact that she was pregnant… and when the time came, the DNA test revealed that Sonny is the father of her baby.

After Ava gave birth to Avery and then was presumed dead shortly after, Sonny was granted custody of his daughter. Michael, still angry with Sonny for killing AJ, fought tooth and nail to get custody of his adoptive sister. Claiming that Sonny’s life is far too dangerous for a child, with the help of Monica’s involvement with the judge, Michael was granted custody.

So much has happened between then and now, and Michael’s circumstances are quite different. He endured public humiliation and almost lost Avery for good because Morgan and Kiki sabotaged him by making appear to be unfit to care for a child.

Michael has lost ELQ to Nikolas Cassadine, and his life is coming apart at the seams. According to Soap Opera Digest, General Hospital spoilers reveal that Michael will make the difficult decision to give Avery back to her (presumed) father, Sonny.

Although Sonny is absolutely grateful to have Avery back, he is still looking to win Michael over, but still, Michael resents Sonny for killing AJ.

There is much more to this story than the scenes have lead on thus far… according to some General Hospital rumors, Sonny might just lose Avery all over again…. to Morgan!

General Hospital Spoilers: Hayden Wakes Up!

HaydenBWhat will the Prince of Darkness do when he gets wind that Hayden Barnes, the woman he put out a hit on is waking up? General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) will receive news of Hayden’s condition.

General Hospital sources have discovered that Rebecca Budig will be making a return to General Hospital.

In a recent tweet conversation between Rebecca Budig, and writer, Jean Passante, as Budig wished her pal a Happy Birthday, Passante reciprocated the wish it is was Budig’s birthday as well. She also went on to say that she is happy to be writing for her again.

Will Hayden wake up sometime this Summer? Odds are that Hayden will recover from her coma sooner than the audience expected. As GH spoilers circulate, stating that Nikolas received information on Hayden’s medical condition, it’s highly possible that this story involving the Jake/Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) reveal is on it’s way to exposure.

Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Nikolas have been harboring this dirty secret from everyone they know and claim to love, but sooner than later, it will be blown out of the water. It’s only a matter of time, something fans are just about to run out of…

Nikolas Hasn’t Been Himself: What’s Really Going on With the Prince?

NikPrince Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) has never lived up to his family name. He was never the evil, ruthless, villain, he just never harbored those characteristics. His personality was quite different from Helena, Victor, and Stefan for example. Nikolas was a good man, an honest man, and compassionate. Recently he has been acting out of character… blackmailing people, hiding the truth from his loved ones, helping Helena keep the secret about Jake being Jason Morgan, and trying to take ELQ right from under Michael.

That being said, fans have been wndering, “What is really going on with Nikolas Cassadine?’ A little while back, he had mentioned that he had been betrayed and perhaps that has hardened him. He started changing briefly after he found out that Britt had been lying to him about SPencer’s disappearance. Could that be the cause of his ut of character behavior? Some think so. Some think that Nik has been burned too many times, and he feels used and taken advantage of, causing him to act out, and make himself feel superior again.

Others believe there is more to it than that. His grandmother, Helena (Constance Towers), is known for her mind games. She has conditioned minds in the distant and recent past to act on her every command. It’s a possibility that Nikolas has been conditioned by his grandmother. Lying to his cousin Sam about Jake/Jason is not something the old Nik would do… and he certainly wouldn’t out a hit out on a woman just to keep her mouth shut as he did with Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig).

Could this total 180 in personality be the result of a man’s heart scorned, or could Nikolas be under Helena’s control?

We want to know where you think this story is going. Please leave you thoughts in the comment section.

General Hospital Casting News: Genie Francis Update

Genie Francis is one fan favorite among quite a few that have been set up for a return to General Hospital as part of the farewell to Anthony Geary. Laura Spencer is essential to Luke, as they have made history together for decades.

Jonathan Jackson will be returning to GH to reprise his role as Lucky Spencer this Summer, but it will not be for an extended amount of time. The actor is currently on the ABC primetime hit, Nashville, and will be working on episodes for the new season. Nathan Parsons will also be making a return to GH as Ethan Lovett, along with his mother Holly Sutton, played by Emma Samms. These returns are believed to be short lived, and will play a major role in Geary’s exit, as Luke Spencer makes his way out of Port Charles.

Good news is that Genie Francis will be sticking around General Hospital even after Anthony Geary leaves the canvas. General Hospital spoilers have revealed that Laura will be sticking around Port Charles for some unfinished business. Perhaps she will be there to set her son Nikolas straight, or if General Hospital rumors are true, she may have to come to Lulu’s resuce with yet another Cassadine catastrophe.

General Hospital Spoilers: Laura Returns to PC, Will Nik Lie to His Mother?

Nikolas Cassadaine is mostly known as being a Cassadine. Although we are all well aware that he is equally a Vining/Webber, as he is the son of Laura Spencer. We tend to forget sometimes, due to the fact that Laura has been off the canvas for so long, that Nikolas isn’t only made up of Cassadine blood, especially lately. Nikolas Cassadine has always been the outast, along with his aunt, Natasha, or, Alexis Davis. The two non-Cassadine-like Cassadines carry the family name but they typically do not act the part. As of recent behavior, Nik is really starting to live up to his title, Prince of Darkness. In the past few months Nik has engaged in some questionable activity and unthinkable behavior. The Nikolas Cassadine, son of Laura Spencer would never even come close to doing the things Nikolas is responsible for. He was always a good man, with a good heart, looking out for his family and friends, the love of his life, Emily, and setting an example for his sister, Lulu.
Laura Spencer is back in town, and with his mother in close vicinity, will Nikolas be able to hide what he has done? Nikolas has tampered with votes to an election, he has lied about the identity of a man that is close to many people he loves, and the worst yet, he has hired a hit man to off a woman just to keep his secrets from getting out.

The General Hospital spoiler photo above, from Entertainment Weekly, shows Laura and her son Nikolas in what looks to be a deep conversation. Is Nikolas ready to come clean for all the wrong he has done in the recent past, or will he lie to his own mother just to keep his good reputation?

What role will Laura play in how Nikolas handles the net series of events? Do you think that some good motherly advice could sway this dark Prince back into the light?

General Hospital Chaos! Characters Acting Out Of Character

If you have been watching General Hospital lately, the same things have been running through the minds of fans across the board. It seems as the something has been off with the residents of Port Charles. Many of the people, who have distinct personality traits and almost predictable behaviors have been acting out of character recently. Or have they?

Let’s start with Elizabeth. The sweet, do-gooder, Nurse Webber has crossed a line with fans (and haters) that she may never be able to come back from. Liz has just lied about the biggest story in Port Charles. So that Liz can have Jason Morgan all to herself, she is concealing the information she knows about his true identity. She is lying to keep a man for herself, when he has a wife and son right under his nose. This seems very extreme and out of character, but at the same time, is it, really? Liz has lied in the past to get what she wants, especially when it comes to a man. She has even lied about the paternity of her child, making Lucky believe Jake was his for so long, knowing that Jason was his father. And that was just one example. She and Sam have always had a battle over Jason Morgan, a battle that Sam won. Now Elizabeth feels that it’s her turn for happiness, and she doesn’t care that she is leaving Sam and Danny without a husband and father.

Anna just shot and killed Carlos in cold blood (or so they say). Her actions were not out of self defense, but out of revenge. Anna was hurting, and she killed the man who killed the love of her life, Duke Lavery. Anna is a cop, she is a special agent, a mother, and grandmother. It’s easy to see her as someone who wouldn’t just shoot a man point blank, but in actuality, Anna has done more than some fans realize. When is came to Faison, she locked him in Wyndemere without any expectation that he could escape. She has protected those she loves and is never afraid to use force. She loved Duke so much that she felt his death had to be avenged, which led her to kill Carlos Rivera on Pier 54.

Then there is Nikolas. The Cassadine outcast. The one member of the Cassadine family who isn’t violent or ruthless. Nik suddenly made a move that shocked General Hospital fans. When it was revealed that Nikolas put out the hit on Hayden Barnes, we couldn’t believe that the one sane Cassadine had become so completely detached. HOwever, we have always known that Nik would go to extreme lengths to protect those he loves and those in which he is loyal. Elizabeth obviously falls into that category. As Nik explained to Valerie, he was protecting Elizabeth from Hayden’s truth. Although everyone knows that Liz is wrong for keeping this secret about Jake/Jason, Nik will still protect her at all costs.

As we see some of these characters shock us with their recent behaviors, we wonder why all of a sudden are they making these bold moves? Perhaps if we look at their past, we can see that they have had it in them all along.
