General Hospital Spoilers: James Patrick Stuart Opens Up About Genie Francis, Valentin’s Happiness, Why Nina Is Still In The Cards

Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) plays the mysterious, charming, yet dangerous, man that women love and love to hate. Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) was head over heels for Valentin before finding out he was behind the lie that Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) was her biological daughter. They’re relationship understandably fell apart, and Nina has since moved with Jasper Jax Jacks (Ingo Rademacher).

In a recent interview with TV Insider, James Patrick Stuart opens up about his character Valentin’s happiness, love life, Co-star, Genie Francis (Laura Spencer), and why Valentin and Nina are not a thing of the past.

When asked about how he feels about his current script, if it’s an actors dream, Stuart responded, “It is…and it isn’t. You don’t know how you’re going to play something that’s so far out of your comfort zone. I couldn’t imagine a scenario like this [in real-life]. I’d go into denial before I’d let go of my child. I didn’t immediately see how I’d get to that place, but Genie has been a friend of mine for many years [since our days at All My Children where she played Ceara and I played Will]. We found the right moment together. It felt honest and I experienced something new. Can you imagine being that in love with someone that you’re willing to let them go?”

Regarding Michelle Stafford’s departure as Nina Reeves, and Cynthia Watros stepping into the role, James Patrick Stuart disclosed, “When Michelle called me and said, ‘I’m leaving,’ the blood drained from my face. She’s my friend. She was my doubles partner. We got each other. She’s one of a kind. She’s in her own category. When I hung up the phone, I couldn’t imagine the task of recasting that role. A few days later, Frank showed me a photo [of Cynthia] on his phone and said, ‘This is who I’m thinking of.’ I knew when Cynthia won the [Daytime] Emmy for [her role as Annie on Guiding Light] and I knew her from Titus. I thought, ‘What a spectacular idea!’ This is why Frank is running the show. Cynthia is very, very good.”

James Patrick Stuart also touched based on how he felt when he found out the man Valentin was responsible for killing was actually alive. When asked about Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma), he said, “I was glad. Initially, I was only supposed to be on the canvas for 10 days. I’ll always be grateful to Michelle Stafford (ex-Nina), who grabbed me and said, ‘You’re mine.’ She needed a lover [as Nina had no love interest]. I didn’t think they were keeping me around so, initially, Valentin killing Nikolas wasn’t that big a deal. But then they realized, ‘Oh, that’s right. He did kill someone.’ I was always hoping that Nikolas would come back for that reason. (Laughs) Then, he threw Ava (Maura West) off a parapet so, he’s still a bit of a bastard.”

Stuart isn’t shy about disclosing Valentin’s feelings for Nina and why he is so drawn to her, even after their relationship has ended. He told TV Insider, “It goes back to when he first confided in Nina about his loneliness, isolation and physical abnormality. She’s witnessed his speech impediment. And she loved him all the more. He’s never been able to fathom not having her in his life. She’s the love of his life.”

Nina is the love of Valentin’s life!

Will Kiki Die? Can Nina Save Her?

KikihospitalKiki Jerome is the daughter of Dr. Silas Clay (Michael Easton) and lady mobster Ava Jerome. Kiki was lead to believe that her father was dead almost her entire life. Shortly after arriving in Port Charles, Kiki was informed that her father was none other than the famous, psychotic artist, Franco (Roger Howarth). Shortly after that, Kiki discovered that her mother, Ava, was lying ti her yet again, and that her real father is Dr. Silas Clay. Kiki and Silas then began to slowly build a father-daughter relationship, only to have it ripped away Silas’ untimely death. Poor Kiki has been put through so much in regard to her parents, and now, there is one more thing that could take a toll on this girl.

Everyone wants to know if Kiki Jerome is going to survive this gunshot, or if Hayley Erin’s character is going to die. There has been no confirmation on whether or not Hayley Erin is about to leave the GH canvas, however, there has been a long running rumor that Kiki will have yet another discovery, this time, on her maternal side.

GH rumors have been swirling for over a year that perhaps Ava Jerome (Maura West) isn’t even Kiki’s mother after all. Since Nina (Michelle Stafford) was told she lost her baby when she went into a coma (induced by her own mother, Madeline Reeves), it’s highly likely that Madeline and Ava have another secret. GH rumors claim that Kiki is actually Nina’s, and what a perfect time to reveal such a thing as Kiki is fighting for her life as Ava grieves and worries for her “daughter.”

Do you think Kiki is going to make it? If so, will it be revealed that Nina Clay is actually her mother? LIKE, Comment, and Share, to let General Hospital fans know your thoughts.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina and Kiki Grow Closer

NinaKikimotherWhen Nina Clay first came to Port Charles she was there for one thing and one thing only, REVENGE. Her outlook on Kiki Jerome was a pretty grim one. Nina had it out for Kiki simply because she was the product of her husband Silas’ affair with Ava Jerome. Nina wanted so badly to be a mother to Silas’ child, but that was all taken away from her by her evil mother, Madeline Reeves.

As Franco and Nina make their way into Silas’ old apartment, Kiki is dealing with the aftermath of losing her father, and finding out her mom, Ava Jerome, and he boyfriend Morgan Corinthos had betrayed her. Franco has a soft place in his heart for Kiki. When she first came to Port Charles, Ava had told him that she was his daughter. Franco ended up growing loving feelings toward Kiki and now he feels the need to care for her and protect her as if she were his own.

It seems like Kiki has lost a lot in her life the past few months. She no longer has her boyfriend due to the fact her cheated on her with her mom, she doesn’t have a relationship with her mom, Ava, because of this, and her father was senselessly murdered by Madeline Reeves.

But what if…? What if Kiki is able to gain a family after losing hers? Sure, we know that Silas is her father and Franco isn’t, but what if Franco became a father figure to Kiki? We have been lead to believe that Silas cheated on Nina with Ava and Ava got pregnant. As the story was told, Ava got pregnant with Silas’ baby (Kiki) and Nina was in a coma for 20 years, all because her mom Madeline wanted to get Silas away from Nina. General Hospital rumors have claimed very early on that there is something wrong with this scenario. Fans believe that Madeline and Ava teamed up in order to get Silas away from Nina. GH rumors suggest that Madeline had Ava take Nina’s baby and claim it was her own. That in fact, Ava had never gotten pregnant by Silas. Could it be? Madeline has done some evil things to her own daughter Nina. Would she tell her that she lost her baby all while she was living with Ava Jerome this entire time? We think yes! Nina Clay could very well be Kiki’s biological mother. What do you think?

General Hospital Rumor: Is Michael Easton OUT at GH?

McbainThe latest casting buzz following the news of GH Head Writer, Ron Carlivati being let go, is that Michael Easton may be on his way out. Michael Easton joined the cast of General Hospital after One Life to Live was cancelled. Easton went on to continue playing the role of John McBain until ABC had some legal issues with using the names from the axed soap. The GH writers were forced to drop the OLTL names, and wrote Michael Easton as Dr. Silas Clay.

Rumor has it that Michael is on his way out, but nothing has yet been confirmed. Daytime Confidential has also reported of this rumor, apparently, this type of news travels quickly.

It seems as though there has been much potential for Silas. First with Sam (Kelly Monaco), then with Nina (Michelle Stafford), and also with Ava Jerome (Maura West). There is so much that could be done with his character, since he has Kiki (Hayley Erin) as his daughter, Nina as his crazy ex-wife, Ava his ex-mistress and their love/hate relationship. A while back there was a GH rumor going around that Nina didn’t actually lose her baby with Silas, but that Madeline and Ava were in cahoots to take Nina’s baby (Kiki) and pass her off as the product of Ava and Silas’ affair.

Hopefully with the new writing team coming into place, they will be able to find a way to elaborate on Silas’ past and develop his character. Many fans have expressed that a Silas and Ava pairing would be a great idea, especially since there is so much history between those two.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans posted on any new developments related to the status of Michael Easton with General Hospital.

We want to know what you think! Would you like to see Michael Easton stay on GH as Silas Clay?

General Hospital Spoilers: Will Nina Tell Nathan Who His Real Father Is?

The subject of Nathan’s paternity has been put on the back burner for a long time. Back when Nathan come to Port Charles, everyone including Nathan, was under the impression that his mother was Madeline Reeves.

It turns out that she is actually his aunt, sister of Dr. Liesl Obrecht, Making Dr. O Nathan’s mother. The question of Nathan’s paternity came up along with all these new discoveries, including Nina now his cousin, not his sister. Dr. Obrecht told Nathan that Victor Cassadine is his father, but we all know that’s not the truth. Dr. O even mentioned that his real father, who has not yet been named, is far worse a man than Victor. Who could be so bad that even Dr. Obrecht doesn’t want to admit she fathered his child? GH rumors have speculated everyone from Cesar Faison to Jerry Jacks.  We aren’t exactly sure but General Hospital spoilers indicate that Nina has some information regarding Nathan’s biological dad. If Nina does know the truth, it’s highly likely she will use it to her advantage, to hang over Dr. O’s head.

Do you know who Nathan’s father could be? If you have a guess, leave it in the comments below.

 

General Hospital News: Michelle Stafford Takes On New Role

One of General Hospital’s finest recent gems was snatched up from another network. Long time Y&R actress Michelle Stafford left the CBS network to join ABC’s General Hospital in 2013. Her iconic role as Phyllis Newman on Y&R was left for actress Gina Tognioni to fill Stafford’s shoes while Michelle became GH’s crazy Nina Clay.

In the most recent issue of Soaps in Depth, Michelle Stafford revealed that she has taken on a new role… but don’t fear, she will not be leaving General Hospital. She was working on a side project last month, filming for the independent feature, Durant’s Never Closes. Stafford already filed for this movie and she was able to work around her hectic GH schedule.

Michelle Stafford is also working on another side project that is being kept under wraps for now, she is in the director’s seat for that project.

 

Silas Has Motive For Kidnapping Avery

Poor baby Avery has not had a solid place to call home since the day she was born. Right off the bat she was kidnapped by crazy Nina, then from there she was placed in the care of Kiki and Morgan, then passed on to Sonny Corinthos after his release from Pentonville, after that, Michael Corinthos Quartermaine was granted custody. Now, after social services took Avery from Michael, she was at the hospital waiting to go home with Kiki and Morgan when she was kidnapped yet again.

Fans are racking their brains, thumbing through the multiple possibilities of who took Avery from the hospital. There is her mother, Ava, because she is dying and wants to spend her last days with her daughter, there is Sonny, because his daughter was taken from him by Michael, Michael, because he just lost custody of his sister, Nina, because she is crazy and thinks Avery is her baby, and then there is Silas. Right now Silas plans on granting Ava’s wishes to die. He went to GH to get the proper medication to assist Ava in suicide. However, he was the doctor to look Avery over when the social worker brought her in. General Hospital rumors speculate that Avery will be the one to save Ava’s life. GH rumors also claim that Silas does a DNA test to see if Avery is a donor match for her mother Ava. It has been rumored that through testing, he will find out that Kiki is not Ava’s daughter, and Avery is a match and will save Ava.

This story has the potential to reveal the long awaited answer of whether or not Kiki is actually Nina’s child. What do you all think? Did Silas kidnap Avery to save Ava’s life? As he works to find a cure for Ava, will he discover that Kiki is actually his daughter with his ex-wife, Nina?
