General Hospital news reports confirm General Hospital has cast two new actors to fill the roles as Elizabeth Webber’s parents. Jeff (William Moses) and Carolyn Webber (Denise Crosby) have a complicated past. Both of their two daughters were raised by their grandmother, Audrey Hardy (Rachel Ames).
Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) has tried to be there for Liz every step of the way through her journey through her troubled past. Finn will take as much as Elizabeth will allow. Although it’s been difficult for Elizabeth to let him in, Finn wants to continue to look out for her.
Finn has always believed his late wife, Reiko (Mele Ihara) died of Blackwood’s Syndrome. From then he was inspired to find cure. But what if that isn’t jow Reiko died at all? What if Elizabeth killed Reiko?
General Hospital recaps recall Elizabeth’s flashbacks bringing forth memories Liz had deeply buried. One memory in particular was triggered by the incident involving Finn and Peter August (Wes Ramsey) on the stairs. Liz has flashbacks of a staircase, while she yelled to a young woman to stay away from her father [Jeff].
General Hospital rumors hint Liz may have been the one to push Reiko down the stair, causing her death. Jeff and Carolyn sent Liz and Sarah off with Gram, far away from where the incident took place.
GH rumors hint Jeff was having an affair with Reiko. Therefore, Elizabeth wanted her far away from her father, giving her motive to push Jeff’s mistress down the stairs. Carolyn and Jeff wanted to protect their daughter. Did Liz’s parents cover up her crime?
Victor frames Anna! Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) has a specific agenda. Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) won’t rest until she figures out his plans and why.
General Hospital spoilers indicate Victor’s devious plan to get Anna out of the way is even more sinister than simply having her eliminated. GH recaps recall Anna initially recruited Lucy to assist in her plan. She and Valentin had hoped Lucy could distract Victor enough for him to become careless.
However, once the risk to Lucy became to great, Anna retracted her request for Lucy to carry out this mission. Lucy was offended by Anna’s lack of faith in her but Anna was truly worried for her friend’s safety.
As it turns out, Anna was right. General Hospital rumors suggest Lucy’s involvement with Victor could cost her her life. GH spoilers claim Victor carried out his plan to get Anna out of Valentin’s life and out of the way. Instead of having Anna killed, Victor chose a more unpredictable route.
GH rumors hint Victor frames Anna for the shooting of Lucy Coe. Johann Bauer (Max Decker) snuck into Anna’s and stole her gun. If we had to guess, it looks as though Anna’s gun was used shoot Lucy. The cosmetics company mogul seemed to know the face of her shooter as she pleaded for them not to do it.
Will Anna take the fall when authorities find out her gun was used to shoot Lucy?
Lucy Coe fights for her life! Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) has a laundry list of street smart credentials. Life skills are second nature to Lucy as she has had to improvise for many curveballs. However, Lucy’s specific skills set just might not cut it.

She begged her friend to bow out but Lucy was determined to see this through. Lucy took pride in her street smart skills and believed them to be enough.
Anna’s worst fear for Lucy came true. Her entanglement with Victor has come with devastating consequences. Victor’s henchmen, Johann Bauer (Max Decker) broke into Anna’s space and stole her gun. Soon after, Lucy was gunned down on Pier 57.
Who shot Lucy Coe?
General Hospital rumors speculate Johann shot Lucy on Victor’s orders. If so, get ready for a major twist because framing Anna could be the perfect crime. GH rumors hint Lucy was collateral damage in Victor’s plot to get rid of Anna. Framing Anna for the (attempted) murder of Lucy Coe would be the perfect trap to keep Anna out of Victor’s way.
General Hospital spoilers indicate Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) feels like she has Lucy’s blood on her hands, as she roped Lucy into her plans. She and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) needed help in getting inside information on Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy). Now she lives with what happed to Lucy as it weighs on her conscience. Worse than feeling guilty, GH spoilers hint Anna will actually go down for shooting Lucy.

Eden McCoy talks Joss and Cam! Eden McCoy tells all! Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Cameron Webber (William Lipton) are high school sweethearts. Their bond as friends eventually developed into a romance after testing the waters with other friends.
General Hospital spoilers indicate Josslyn and Cameron are headed for a breakup. These two started out as friends and have gone from high school sweethearts to college lovers. They tested the waters with their other friends but found themselves to have a stronger attraction to one another.

She explains how things are different now since the sex tape. McCoy dives into an explanation for why this young romance is headed south in an interview with Soaps In Depth.
Eden McCoy Spills the Tea

Josslyn feels Cameron can’t be trusted after keeping Spencer’s secret. General Hospital recaps recall Cameron having to choose between staying quiet because Spencer’s secret wasn’t his to tell, and feeling like he was keeping a secret of his own from Joss. Eden went on to explain the damaging effects of Esme’s (Avery Kristen Pohl) evil plan.
“I don’t think things ever bounced back between them after the sex tape,” she continued. “You go through a trauma like that and dynamics change. They haven’t shared that same intimacy because I think Josslyn, and maybe Cam, still feels so scared and so violated and she associates being intimate with him with a scary thing now. Which is really hard to deal with when you’re 19-year-olds in a relationship and there are so many unspoken wounds.”
When it comes to the new guy in town, Josslyn’s attraction to Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) is undeniable. Josslyn is torn between guilt and justifying the situation. “I think she does feel guilty about it,” Eden confessed, “but I think she’s also a bit put out by Cam’s behavior. She’s constantly like, ‘Cam did this, so it’s fine that I’m doing that.’ I think it’s her natural tendency, because of her guilt, to try to justify her own behavior.”
Some GH fans will argue Josslyn didn’t fall far from Carly’s apple tree. Some say she is making excuses while getting close to Dex because it’s a Carly thing to do. Other fans believe Josslyn and Cam need to go their separate ways while it’s nobody’s fault. Do these two stand a chance, or has the damage been done?

Recent General Hospital rumors speculate Trina has made the wrong choice. When it comes to being one of the good guys, Rory knows how to fake it.

General Hospital rumors hint Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) current health issues is just one of the many horrible things she’s facing.

When Willow finds out what he’s been up to, it will be like looking at someone she doesn’t know.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors hint Esme’s pregnancy could be a lot of things. One of those things being fake. Although she had Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) feel her unborn child through her stomach, GH rumors call BS. Another thing about Esme’s pregnancy is that she could be actually carrying a Cassadine heir.
Will one of their babies die?
If rumors of an epic baby switch come to light, and Willow and Esme’s baby switch is headed our way, this could get messy. There’s no telling if a desperate Willow will kidnap Esme’s baby if the unthinkable happens to her own. If Esme is faking, she could kidnap the one good thing Willow has left.
Esme fights back! It’s been a wild ride having Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) take her aggressions out on the people of Port Charles.
The Cassadine family is Esme’s main focus. Her dad, Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) won’t stop until he gets to Ava Jerome (Maura West). Ryan is using Esme to help with his dirty work.
General Hospital recaps recall things got out of hand after Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) slept with Esme. Ava Jerome didn’t take too well to learning her husband cheated with his son’s girlfriend. Ava and Esme’s physical altercation lead to the young woman’s disappearance.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Esme fights back against her captor in a violent way. Nikolas is subject to Esme’s crazy ways of survival. She’ll do anything to survive, even if it means harming or killing someone standing in her way.

GH previews indicate Esme gets the upper hand but will soon be stopped in her tracks. So many come and go through Wyndemere that someone is bound to cross paths with the Cassadine baby mama.
Ava Jerome and Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) would be as shocked as Nikolas to see Esme alive and well. The difference is Victor will want to keep her alive when he finds out she’s carrying a Cassadine heir, whereas Ava will be filled with fury, wishing she never returned.
Who will find Esme roaming around the Cassadine castle? Once Nikolas collects himself after being attacked by Esme, he’ll have to face Ava with the news. How will he break it to Ava that Esme is carrying his child?
