Jonathan Jackson and Clare Bowen Head To Tour July 2025
General Hospital fans want to know… Why is Lucky leaving GH? Last year, General Hospital’s iconic Lucky Spencer returned to the canvas In June of 2024 it was announced that Johnathan Jackson would reprise his role as Lucky, and he debuted on August 23rd, 2024. Back then it was said that Jackson’s return would be a long term stint. Instead, Lucky graced Port Charles with his presence almost an entire Summer shy of a year.
Lucky’s proposal to lifelong love Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) was a surprise to GH fans. Then shortly after, Lucky revealed that he was leaving Port Charles, and Jackson’s upcoming exit was confirmed. One moment Lucky was begging to spend the rest of his life in Port Charles with Liz and their son Aiden. And in the next moment he was already telling her that he’s skipping town.
Why is Lucky leaving General Hospital? Well, Lucky Spencer says he’s leaving because he loves Elizabeth so much that he has to simply let her go. Elizabeth turned down his marriage proposal and put their lives into perspective. Thus resulting in Lucky’s PC exit.
Why is Jonathan Jackson leaving General Hospital?
Here’s the deal- According to the latest GH news, Jackson tells TV Insider the details about his exit. “It was more of a real, sincere attempt from myself and from General Hospital to make it work for a longer period of time. The hope was to be able to stay on longer.”
Back in 2012 Jackson joined the cast of ABC’s primetime hit, Nashville. Although the show ended in 2018, Jonathan Jackson, Clare Bowen and other Nashville co-stars continue to go on musical tour. In fact, Jackson is featured in a recent Instagram promo along with Bowen. The two engaged in a promotional skit, sharing information about their upcoming summer tour.
Summer Tour/ July 2025 Songs & Sounds of Music City
General Hospital news reports have confirmed Jackson’s General Hospital exit. Jonathan Jackson’s exit comes just before the summer music tour scheduled for this July. Although, the music doesn’t stop there. Fall tour dates have also been scheduled which would further keep Jackson away from his role as General Hospital’s Lucky Spencer.
General Hospital Blog wishes, Jonathan Jackson, Clare Bowen, and the rest of the musicians hitting the road a safe and successful tour.
General Hospital: Kelly Thiebaud Returns To General Hospital
Reportedly, Frank Valentini has confirmed that Kelly Thiebaud returns to General Hospital! Kelly’s character Dr. Westbourne died in her mother Liesl Obrecht’s (Kathleen Gati) arms after her very own birthday bash at The Savoy. In the land of soap operas, it’s perfectly normal to come back from the dead however, the way Bri died makes it a difficult death to resurrect.
Immediately following Jonathan Jackson’s GH exit news another General Hospital casting change was confirmed. According to recent General Hospital news reports the 62-year-old daytime drama is bringing Kelly Thiebaud back to the canvas. Executive Producer Frank Valentini confirmed the actress’s return and shared his enthusiasm for what’s ahead. “I am thrilled to have Kelly back on our show,” Frank Valentini revealed. “We have some great twists and turns planned for her character.”
according to General Hospital spoilers and rumors Kelly Thiebaud return may not equal Dr. Britt Westbourne’s return. Although the actress told Deadline, “It’s good to be home,” that doesn’t mean she will play the same role. If you really take a look at Frank’s statement, he does not mention Britt’s return. However, he does state that there will be a lot of twist and turns for her character- never specifying the character’s identity.
Upon leaving the latest GH news about Thiebaud’s return, fans wonder if The Britch is back or if Kelly will portray someone new. Keep checking in with General Hospital Blog for updates. Kelly is set to return to the screen this July.
General Hospital: Lucky’s Leaving- Jonathan Jackson Exits General Hospital
Is it true? Lucky’s Leaving General Hospital?! Transient Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) strikes again. His “here today, gone tomorrow,” act draws as much mystery as Houdini. Ever since Lucky arrived in Port Charles all Elizabeth can think about is, will he stay or will he go? Can she trust him? That’s a no. When it comes to Lucky, home is where the adventure is not Elizabeth and their child apparently.
General Hospital shocked fans when Lucky got down on one knee, asked Elizabeth to marry him. Then, she turned him down, and it wasn’t gently. For a few moments, Lucky was convinced that he was a home-bodied family man, and that Liz could anchor him down- not in a bad way. But all it took was for Elizabeth to be honest and understanding with Lucky about who they are. A faster engagement attempt has never been documented. One moment, Lucky had convinced himself that he could be what Elizabeth needs. Quickly, Elizabeth’s words resonated and he announced that he was leaving Port Charles.
Please tell me how one goes so rapidly from one extreme to the next. First, Lucky makes quite convincing promises by proposing marriage and declaring security and stability. Then suddenly that all turned into cold, hard, lies. He couldn’t possibly mean what he said if his mind could change that quickly.
Lucky’s Leaving- Jonathan Jackson Exits General Hospital
According to General Hospital new reports, Lucky’s painful truth leads straight to his and Jonathan Jackson’s GH exit. Jackson returned to General Hospital last summer. Fans had been rooting for lucky and to reconnect, but Elizabeth and Lucky just broke up instead. It’s true, Lucky’s leaving Port Charles yet again, and the love of his life and his son behind.
I have no words for Lucky Spencer at this time. Honestly, I am disappointed in Lucky for how careless he was with Elizabeth. What do you think about the latest Liz and Lucky scenes?
General Hospital: Braedyn Bruner and Gio Mazza Celebrate GH’s Hulu Flex (Photo taken by Braedyn Bruner)
Is General Hospital Number One On Hulu?! This news is so cool it brought a tear (or few) to my eyes! It’s such an incredible thing that General Hospital is going strong after 62 years. There were times in the early 2000s and 2010s when GH fans feared an unfavorable fate. Then, when our culture lost ABC’s All My Children and One Life To Live, naturally, General Hospital fans feared the end of its days. Thankfully, reports confirmed that General Hospital pulled in more viewers than the others, saving the soap opera from cancellation.
Here we are 13 years past AMC and OLTL’s untimely end, and General Hospital is still a household name. In fact, General Hospital news reports reveal that the 62 year old Soap Opera has acquired an outstanding accomplishment. In this modern day streaming services dominate the entertainment landscape. Platforms like Hulu have become the biggest source for television content consumption. And M-F, ABC’s General Hospital is available for same day viewing at 8pm.
Now that you know the schedule on how to catch GH on Hulu- get this! According to recent data directly from the Hulu app, General Hospital Lands Number One On Hulu as the most watched show on June 3rd, 2025! The most watched show on the entire platform!
Reportedly, General Hospital’s Braedyn Bruner, aka Emma Scorpio Drake, shared a photo of her television screen to her Instagram story. Indeed, Bruner captured the cold hard facts from the Hulu app itself. Right there it shows GH as #1. Furthermore, pride for the daytime drama’s accomplishment doesn’t stop there. General Hospital fan favorite Giovanni Mazza took a screenshot of his costar’s Instagram story. Both young stars expressed their excitement for General Hospital, using captions like “Go Team Go,” and “yes I’m so stoked.”
We can all breathe a little easier as this news helps lock in another season renewal for our beloved Soap.
General Hospital: Chad Duell Post General Hospital
What’s life like for Chad Duell Post General Hospital?General Hospital fans were caught off guard when Chad Duell and Frank Valentini announced and confirmed Duell’s GH exit. To say the news came as a shock is an understatement, and to many fans Chad is Michael Corinthos. After all Duell played Sonny Corinthos’s son for 15 years.
Well, the earth rotates and time ticks on. Not everyone stays in one place, and that’s where we’re at with the latest General Hospital casting news. Michael Corinthos was recast, and Rory Gibson debuted in the role on May 23rd, 2025. While GH fans seem to be warming up to Gibson quite nicely, many miss Chad and keep up with what he’s up to post General Hospital. Reportedly, Duell is stepping into the modeling profession and has shared some photos from a recent shoot.
According to the latest GH news, Chad keeps busy with Luana and their son Dawson. In addition to family life, the father and Emmy winner has added modeling to his schedule. Take a peek at the photos below. Duell shared these via Instagram and has credited John A. Sutton, and also mentions @wrangler and @stetsonusa.

General Hospital: Gio Palmieri (Gio Mazza)Breaksdown On Stage
It’s been just over a year since Gio Mazza joined the cast of General Hospital. On May 15th, 2024 Mazza made his debut as Gio Palmieri. He was introduced as Brook Lynn’s cousin from Bensonhurst and stunned the wedding guests with his exemplary violin playing. A prodigy no doubt, cousin Gio from the old neighborhood would soon become a focal point of many people’s lives. There’s no doubt that Gio’s Emotional Unveiling On GH has fans waiting in anticipation.
Next week on General Hospital the aftermath hits Gio, and those closest to him. Thanks to Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins), this traumatic revelation will haunt Gio’s perception of The Nurse’s Ball forever. More importantly, he only knows half of the truth after overhearing Lulu confronting Lois (Rena Sofer). Furthermore, his reaction to what he heard was nothing short of heartbreaking- even gut wrenching. He wore his heart on his sleeve, on stage for all to see.
Gio’s Emotional Unveiling On GH Has Fans Anxiously Waiting For More
Hopefully General Hospital fans have had some time to decompress after having watched Gio’s intense reaction. Reportedly, the actor did some reflecting of his own on what his character just endured. Gio Mazza shared his thoughts via Instagram- making mention of his birthday. Mazza acknowledged the significance of that episode having aired on his actual birthday!
According to Mazza, there’s a lot to look forward to with his character Gio Palmieri. It looks like he’ll be sticking around Port Charles for a while!
—“Just moments after I found out who my real parents are… being lied to my whole life, missing out from my real family, the pain of my character’s past…. There’s a lot to look forward to on @generalhospitalabc
of all days, this special episode aired on my birthday (yesterday)! My birthday wish is that everyone watches the Nurses’ Ball episodes on Hulu this weekend! Throw a watch party! Everyone in the cast&crew put so much time and energy and effort into this event! Enjoy!”
General Hospital airs encore Memorial Day, 2025. The May 23, 2025 cliffhanger Friday episode has General Hospital the edge of their seats. The Nurse’s Ball has been the birthplace for several monumental events. This year, Drew’s drugging, Michael’s dramatic return, and Gio‘s revelation captivated fans.Despite the urgency to see what’s next, GH fans must be patient. Sadly, General Hospital will not air a new episode on Monday, May 26, 2025, and won’t air a continuation from Friday, May 23rd. Instead, ABC will air an encore episode due to the Memorial Day holiday.
Next week on General Hospital, the encore episode will feature the return of Lulu Spencer, originally aired on November 26, 2024. This episode marked Alexa Havins’ debut in the role, as Lulu awakened from a coma after four years. Also in this encore episode, Ava questions Ric, and Lulu wanders around Port Charles.
As Gio and all of his family suffer the fallout from choices made long ago- and now- General Hospital fans eagerly await an all new episode. Unfortunately, we all must wait an extra day due to ABC programming. Reportedly, Regular programming will resume on Tuesday, May 27, with a brand-new episode.
General Hospital airs weekdays at 2:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC.
General Hospital: Michael Returns With A Vengeance
Michael comes for Drew and Willow! The Nurse’s Ball has never left us empty handed when it comes to life altering revelations and getting someone down to their underwear. Classic Nurse’s Ball mishaps left lasting memories and this year is no different. Actually, GH’s Nurse’s Ball 2025 will most likely become engraved in our memories for years to come.
General Hospital Recaps: The drama in Port Charles seems to be among an all time high lately. So far, Drew (Cameron Mathison) had Tracy (Jane Elliot) arrested, and Lulu (Alexa Havins) got her way. Gio’s paternity was revealed and the outcome was just as horrific as everyone feared.
This week on General Hospital there is still room for one more catastrophe. Earlier this week General Hospital Blog helped spread the news that Michael Corinthos returns, and that Chad Duell will not. Instead, the role of Michael Corinthos has been recast. Reportedly, Rory Gibson makes his GH debut on May 23rd, 2025. According to the latest General Hospital spoilers, Michael appears at the Nurse’s Ball.
Michael Comes For Drew and Willow
Michael’s (Rory Gibson) wife Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and her boyfriend Drew are in attendance- enjoying the event, practically attached at the hip. She stands by her man and trusts him completely. But Willow is going to get a rude awakening when she finds out that her precious Drew is actually very devious. Just wait until Michael tells her the truth, how he never turned her away.
Then, Drew gets exposed for paying off the hospital receptionist. Don’t even get me started with that lady. Lord only knows why she didn’t just tell Drew it was done and then tell Willow what was going on. She totally could’ve pulled it off based on the way things played out. Anyway, Michael Corinthos returns with a vengeance!
The people of Port Charles have had enough of the turmoil caused by Drew. The lies, the schemes, the ruined lives- it all ends now. General Hospital rumors tease that upon his return, Michael comes for Drew and Willow. More importantly, Michael comes for his kids!
General Hospital Recasts Michael Corinthos! Longtime General Hospital fans are forced to adjust to a major transition. For months, Chad Duell’s GH status hung in limbo. It was unclear whether or not Duell’s break from the Daytime Drama would result in a permanent absence.
Reportedly, GH fans wonder no more as role of Michael Corinthos is officially being recast. After nearly 15 years in the role, Chad Duell has exited the series, marking the end of a significant era for the character and the actor alike.
Duell’s portrayal of Michael began in 2010 and quickly became a cornerstone of the show’s younger generation. His nuanced performances and emotional depth earned him both fan loyalty and critical praise. However, after over a decade in the role, Duell chose to step away, sharing that it was time for him to explore new creative opportunities and personal growth beyond the soap opera world.
General Hospital Recasts Michael Corinthos As Rory Gibson Takes Over
GH comings and goings report that a decision was made and a recast has been hired to replace Chad as Michael Corinthos. Taking on the role of Michael Corinthos is actor Rory Gibson, who soap fans may recognize from his previous run on The Young and the Restless. Gibson brings a fresh energy to the part, with early reports describing his take on Michael as grounded, intense, and emotionally layered. He is set to make his on-screen debut on May 23, 2025.
Although an adjustment, General Hospital is no stranger to these transitions. According to GH spoilers, Gibson’s arrival as Michael pulls out all the stops. Reportedly, Michael returns on May 23, 2025. Recent recast news brings about new questions. Such as if the storyline incorporates Michael’s new look, or if that aspect is left alone. Will Michael’s own children recognize him? Take a look at the photo below as Michael (Rory Gibson) kneels down to talk to his son Wiley.
General Hospital: Wiley (Erik and Theo Olson) and Michael- Rory Gibson Debuts as Michael Corinthos
Whether or not you’re ready to embrace it, the change is a done deal. Chad Duell has been a consistent and beloved presence in Port Charles for over a decade. However, with Gibson stepping into the role, viewers can expect a new interpretation of Michael while honoring the character’s core values.
General Hospital’s Chad Duell: Will Michael Return?
I don’t have how many more surprises we can take. So far the first leg of the Nurse’s Ball has been nothing short of eventful. From Drew getting his digs in on all of his enemies, and Nina’s @ss-kissing cringe fest, to Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Elliot) moment to shine, it’s already been quite a night.
This week on General Hospital, the iconic Nurse’s Ball continues to entertain as planned and unplanned events keep the audience in awe. I’m not sure what can top Tracy’s arrest but GH rumors suggest that this is just the beginning.
According to General Hospital spoilers and previews Drew and Willow look like deer in headlights when a party crasher shocks the room. From the looks of the recent GH previews Sonny (Maurice Benard), Ned (Wally Kurth), Jordan (Tanisha Harper), and Sidwell (Carl Rota), look equally as stunned.
Michael Returns At The Nurses Ball! And Expose Drew?!
What if it’s true and Michael decides to show up at the Nurse’s Ball without warning? Since no one else bothered to call and ask Michael why he turned Willow away when she came to Germany, maybe he’ll clear the air himself!
There are no plans to recast his role at this time, but you never know in daytime. I can promise a great story for Michael and his family when Chad exits in the new year. (2/2)
Reportedly, GH Executive Producer Frank Valentini had left the door open for Chad Duell to return to the role of Michael Corinthos. So, does that mean that Chad will reprise the role of Michael Corinthos? Or will recent GH rumors become reality with a recast? Recent GH rumors suggest that a recast isn’t off the table.
