General Hospital comings and goings confirm that a new doctor has checked in and is reporting for duty. Reportedly, South-African singer-songwriter, Dean Geyer joined the cast of General Hospital, and made his debut on 7-13-26.
According to GH recaps, Nurse Elizabeth got to chat with the hospital’s newest cardiologist. Just before Tracy showed up, the new doc introduced himself as Tristan. Dr. Tristan Roberts.
Monday, July 13th, 2026 marked General Hospital’s 16,000th episode. Hints to this phenomenal achievement were spread out throught Monday’s episode. Then on Tuesday, July 14th, GH fans got a bit of a surprise.
Dr. Tristan Roberts!
Tristan’s role as Robert Scorpio helped shape American culture as he became one of the most recognizable names in daytime television. Over the years, Tristan spent 45 years tied to General Hospital, and the name “Robert Scorpio.” Ultimately, his last GH air date was on July 18th, 2025. Sadly, Roger’s passed away on August 15th, 2025.
It was a beautiful nod to the late icon and legend. Rogers is one of the most well known actors in daytime television, and has touched the hearts of many. GH has made sure he won’t be forgotten by keeping his memory alive with the “sounds like” newcomer, Dr. Tristan Roberts.
What does Port Charles have in store for Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer)??
General Hospital’s Ross Cullum Dies! RIP WSB Director Ross Cullum! And that’s a wrap for one of the coldest and most apathetic villains to hit the streets of Port Charles. Despite Cullum’s villainous nature, his portrayer, Andrew Hawkes is actually the polar opposite. Talk about phenomenal acting. Hawkes obviously has his craft on lock down.
Cullum’s Death and Epic Sendoff
General Hospital: Josslyn kills Cullum
On Thursday, 7-2-26, General Hospital was filled with action and suspense at every turn. The dramatic showdown featured an epic shootout between the WSB, a Corrupt WSB Double Agent, and civilians who were part of a secret project. Many were injured in the violent power struggle. Ultimately, The WSB’s Double Agent was shot and killed by Agent Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). Ross Cullum can no longer harm the people of Port Charles.
Actor Andrew Hawkes has finished his run in General Hospital as Cullum. According to recent GH news reports, Cullum is officially dead, and Hawkes said goodbye to his villainous role. Previously, GH news reports revealed that Hawkes’ role as Cullum was projected to last only four episodes. Evidently, the Andrew Hawkes’ portrayal was a big hit among General Hospital fans. The character became an essential element to the Faison’s final project storyline.
In a recent interview with Soap Opera Digest, Andrew Hawkes shared his sentiments on his time on GH, and his inevitableexit. “The way I look back at the whole experience, honestly, is that I just fell madly in love with the cast and crew. They’re just incredible people, and I’m astonished by them and all the work that goes into putting the show together. When you’re working with professionals who are really enjoying what they’re doing and trying to do their best work, it’s just the best feeling. You feel like you’re on a team.” Andrew Hakes explained.
Making Lasting Friendships
General Hospital: Andrew Hawkes and Chris L. McKenna
Additionally, the TV/Film/Theater actor shared his experience on set, and his observations of some of his cast-mates. “So entertaining and so good at what he does,” is what he thinks about his co-villain (Sidwell), GH’s Carlo Rota. Hawkes describes Kelly Thiebaud (Dr. Britt Westbourne) as a “brilliant actress,” and admitted that she “lights up every scene she’s in.”
It’s apparent that costars Andrew Hawkes and Chris L. McKenna have become real life friends. Both have shared photos and videos together on social media, and even got their wives together for a double date. His loyalty to friendship is evident in what he told SoapOpera Digest about Chris L. McKenna (Jack Brennan). We have become very close. If you don’t like Chris McKenna, I’m sorry, lose my number! He’s such a good man. All his fans out there should know just what an incredibly good human he is.”
Although Cullum’s demise was inevitable, Andrew Hawkes explained that he was prepared for the end but still emotional over having to say goodbye. According to social media comments across platforms, General Hospital fans share Andrew’s sentiments. It’s sad to see him go despite the cold and calculated role he played. And might I add that Hawkes played the role of WSB Director Ross Cullum impeccably.
Cullum’s Softer Side
Just kidding! He doesn’t have one! But Andrew Hawkes sure does! GH fans fell in love with him through his Instagram posts where his true personality shines. From my observation, Hawkes is a genuine, kind, empathetic family man, and the polar opposite of the role he played.
His wife played a major role in sharing parts of Andrew’s life and highlighting his personality on social media. Andrew’s kind heart shocked fans and ultimately drew in fans that Cullum would not have acquired if it wasn’t for social media. We don’t know what we don’t know. So, having gotten a look into the man behind Ross Cullum was how General Hospital fans fell in love with the actor even though his character is evil.
Get to Know Andrew Hawkes!
He will be missed! But you can still see more of Hawkes when you check out his Instagram page! And don’t forget to watch his interviews with Maurice Benard on State of Mind, along with his chat with Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson!

The General Hospital Blog Court Verdict is in! Coincidentally, sometimes reel life familiarizes with what you’ve actually got going on in your personal life, and at the perfect timing! This is so relatable to me because that is my current situation. My personal life has many similarities to the current Corinthos family state of affairs.
After a long and exhausting legal battle, I’m overwhelmed to finally say: It’s over. My life is no longer on hold. Most gratefully, I won in court today. The court ruled in my favor and officially declared what I’ve always known to be true—that my website is mine.
GH Blog’s Fight For Ownership- Before The Verdict
Here’s the backstory: My ex-husband and I created generalhospitalblog.com during our marriage, but it was always intended to be mine. With his help, I built it. I ran it. I developed, and solely manage all social media pages related to GHBlog. It is my full-time job and sole source of income, and it was listed in my name. I absolutely need this to financially survive. And being a newly divorced/single mom made it crucial that I maintain my website ——>and income. During and after our divorce, there was no confusion about ownership. My child support calculations were based off of the revenue as a 1099 employee of Google. Furthermore, he even sent emails to both of our divorce attorneys clearly stating he wanted nothing to do with generalhospitalblog.com.
But sometime later, I began noticing suspicious activity. Facebook login alerts revealed he’d been accessing my accounts— that’s when I noticed that he was actively logged in since his birthday, no less. He secretly changed ownership of my Google Business Profile to himself. Additionally, he made himself admin of my Meta Business account. And while I won’t go into every single violation, I’ll just say this: First, I filed a police report, and after their own investigation, he was charged with two felonies. When confronted, he denied ever accessing WordPress, Meta, Google, etc. Then, later that day he sent a text stating that he took care of it and has removed himself from having access.
GH Blog Is NOT A MARITAL ASSET
Two things- 1) if it was a marital asset then why was he sitting in a courtroom, fighting against allegations of unlawful access to my accounts-denying that he accessed my website and its affiliated accounts at all? And 2), if he didn’t have any access and never logged in- then why did he suddenly send a text that claimed he took care of and that “it’s all set,” and that he’s removed from having access. But I thought he didn’t have access?! Hmmm. That’s quite curious. The bottom line is that he knew what he did and he had to try and save his own @ss.
Criminal- General Hospital Blog Court Verdict
We went to court in June of 2024. At that time, the criminal case was dismissed—because of a technicality. In criminal court, you have to prove everything beyond a reasonable doubt, and since the website wasn’t specifically listed in our divorce decree, the court couldn’t say definitively that it wasn’t a marital asset. That loophole gave him just enough room to escape accountability. He gloated, and taunted me. He treated it like a win. And the worst part of it was that he dangled it over my head.
Meanwhile, I was left with a shattered sense of privacy and security. For two years he had been receiving emails about my personal purchases at Kroger—including prescriptions. He was randomly using my phone number at Meijer- without stealing any MPerks (rewards) because I never even used the account. Therefore, no rewards points ever accumulated for Meijer.
Suspicious Privacy Violations
Additionally, I found failed login attempts to my website’s back end, along with suspicious activity in my Google account. He was lurking in every corner of my digital life. He once texted me, “Maybe it’s a marital asset, like the blog,” in reference to the grocery accounts—actually taunting me. I received a random text message from his girlfriend- harassing me. She said, “Hey, can I use your M Perks next time l’m at Meijer too?” I was mocked by his girlfriend as they minimized the level of creepy that is his behavior.
Even though the criminal case was dismissed, I didn’t stop fighting. I went to family court and filed a motion to officially include the website in our divorce decree. I had to file a motion to “Intervene to Protect Assets.” In this case that meant my website, my career and livelihood, and my mother’s memory.
At the first hearing, he actually tried to claim rights to the website he had already disavowed. He even admitted to wanting to protect against the previous felony charges which he deemed as “frivolous” and “bogus.” The audacity was infuriating. But I kept going. I stayed focused, and I told the truth. My exhibits included multiple text conversations and emails that prove he wanted nothing to do with generalhospitalblog.com.
The General Hospital Blog Court Verdict Is In
And now, a full year later, the final court hearing took place—and I won. My life was hijacked for over two years. After so long of fighting to reclaim control of my 13+ year career, the court sided with me. And that decision means more than I can explain. I’ve lived with the feeling of being watched, of being one click away from losing everything I built. But I finally get to breathe. This has taken so much away from me for so long. I’m beyond grateful to God for today’s outcome, and for the strength to keep fighting when I thought I was at my weakest. I’m so thankful to those few who stood by my side- my kids, my best friend, a brand new friend, and yes, random strangers.
And Now You Know 🙏🏻
I wanted to give everyone a tiny glimpse into what I’ve been dealing with and what goes into this website- my time, my brain power, my motivation, sometimes my sanity, my joy, my pride of this accomplishment, and keeping my mom’s love for General Hospital going strong. Thanks so much for supporting generalhospitalblog.com, and all of its affiliated social media accounts throughout the years. I love that this fandom keeps growing! God Bless!
