How the writer’s strike affects General Hospital

The Writer’s Guild On Strike

According to General Hospital news and spoilers, the cast and crew of GH will be affected by the strike in the comings weeks. Daytime Television’s fast-paced film schedule gives the ABC soap opera some time. Allegedly, the episodes are filmed about 4-6 weeks ahead. Therefore, there’s about a month and a half of fresh episodes left. Unfortunately, if this doesn’t get resolved quickly, alternative writer’s step in and develop the storyline from that point on.

Here’s How The Writer’s Strike Affects General Hospital

WGA writer, Shannon Peace explains the complexity of the situation that when it comes to Soap Operas. “Daytime writers face a unique conflict during strikes,” Peace wrote. “We hate to see our characters and storylines handed over to ‘writers’ who cross the picket line. But we’re also keenly aware that stopping production could spell the demise of soap operas. Hoping the AMPTP does the right thing soon — not just for writers, but for the integrity of storytelling.”

As a result, it’s only a matter of time before the shows we love cease to air new episodes. First, late night shows such as SNL are hit first. Next, the fast paced nature of filming soaps allows for about a month of new shows before storylines are left hanging. Unfortunately, this news comes soon after ABC’s General Hospital celebrated its 60th anniversary. However, we won’t let this stops us or turn our backs on our show. We hope and pray a resolution is reached very soon and GH returns for another 60+ years.

Dex chooses Sonny over Joss

Dex chooses Sonny over Joss! When coming to Port Charles, Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) didn’t expect to fall in love. In fact, his sole mission was to work for Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) as an informant against Michael’s father. Shortly thereafter, Josslyn Jack (Eden McCoy) entered the picture.

According to General Hospital recaps, Sonny and Michael’s relationship was strained after Sonny betrayed Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and their family for Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). Ironically, Michael found just the man to help bring down his father. Dex just so happened to be as eager to bust Sonny as Michael. That being said, Michael and Josslyn aren’t expecting Dex to jump ship. However, Dex and Sonny’s few bonding moments set the foundation for a twist.

According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Josslyn and Dex might not have what it takes to stick it out through all the danger and drama the mob life brings.

Thankfully, she found out they were actually on the same page about Sonny when Joss learned of Michael’s. Now, Josslyn stands by in support as Michael and Dex carryout their plan.

According to GH rumors, unexpectedly, Dex has a change of heart when it comes to Sonny (and Josslyn). But what about his promise to Josslyn?

Dex’s absentee father exposed

Dex’s absentee father EXPOSED! For any family, the mob life is quite the sacrifice. In choosing that path, the ones involved sign up for a life of constantly looking over their shoulder. Shady business dealings, threats, bribes, and imminent danger are just some of the elements that make up day to day mob-life. The mob may consist of “The Five Families,” but most would agree that despite “families,” the mob is no environment to raise one.

In Port Charles, mob activity runs deep. Life on this edge is second nature to many in town as mob ties in PC intertwine and thicken. For Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), it’s his entire lifestyle. Over the years, his status as mob boss put his loved ones at risk. He and right hand man Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Both Sonny and Jason took issue with allowing the ones they love anywhere near the business. However, keeping family and the business separate is inevitably impossible. Sonny and Jason walked away from countless people they love in order to keep them safe. They’ve suffered great losses to tragedy as well as by choice in order to avoid further losses.

Dex’s Absentee Father Exposed

Sonny and Jason said goodbye to man in the name of the business. Leaving lovers behind for their own protection broke hearts and tore couples and families apart. According to GH rumors, Dex’s father walked out of his life. GH recaps mention that Dex disclosed he grew up without a father. Therefore, his paternity remains in question. Since arriving in PC, Dex is in a mission. He’s eager to carryout Michael’s orders and get Sonny put away for good.

The latest GH spoilers and rumors tease that either Sonny or Jason is Dex’s father. So, why is he so willing to help Michael take down a man he doesn’t even know? Is he out to destroy Sonny because he’s the father he never had? Or does he resent Sonny because Jason is his father, and Jason chose to stay loyal to Sonny instead of raising his son.
