First, I want to start off by asking that we all keep John J. York, aka our beloved Mac Scorpio in our prayers and healing thoughts. General Hospital’s John J. York has a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. His positive outlook and upbeat personality is a gift to himself as well as those who know and follow him. Additionally, York exhibits great strength as he shares with the world of his current medical condition.

Previously, GH Blog shared the news that John J. York, also known as GH’s Mac Scorpio, announced that he’d be taking a hiatus from the ABC daytime drama. Then, shortly after he gave fans something to think about, York returned to social media for the details. That’s when the iconic actor revealed that he was told he has 3-5 years to live. According to General Hospital news and spoilers, his diagnosis lead to a bone marrow search with Be A Match.

Fast forward and York has come forward with a health update. Reportedly, the stem cell transplant is a 100 day process. According to General Hospital news reports, York tells TV Insider the details of what he faces in the coming weeks. He shares, “The first week is an 8-day process of heavy-duty chemo, where I’ll probably lose my hair, and that’s OK,” he told the outlet. “And, you know, there’s just all kinds of issues. I could, I could pass away. I mean, maybe not from the chemo, but when the transplant starts. So after the eight days of these different chemo treatments that they’re doing, they’re basically wiping my body of what I’ve been living with in terms of my blood and DNA and all this stuff for my entire life. They’re wiping that clean and then they’re gonna put new stuff in me from the donor. And that’s going to be the new me.”

John J York Takes His Stem Cell Treatment One Day At A Time

Treatment takes place everyday unless the doctors see positive results from early on. He admits, “that would be wonderful. Then they may say, ‘You don’t have to come in tomorrow, come in the next day. And then we’ll test after that.’ That goes on for 100 days, and I would say the first probably 20 days [after the transplant] are the crucial days,” is what York told news outlet TV Insider.

The 22 year GH actor continued to describe his upcoming challenges with a positive and bright outlook. However, the long, demanding process can take its toll, but York displays the strength to stay the course. Unfortunately, the treatment doesn’t cease after the 100 days. Instead, he faces more testing. Those tests include biopsy and bone marrow aspiration. “I thought I was done doing bone marrow biopsies, but I still have like five bone marrow biopsies out there. Those are just not my favorite things in the world to do,” the actor admitted. For now, he’s taking things “one day at a time.”

General Hospital Blog continues to keep John J. York in our prayers as he faces these health challenges. His smiling face is enough to carry many through their bad days. Let’s shine our smiles on John to bright his too!

General Hospital News and Spoilers: It’s Unanimous! SAG•AFTRA Reports Writer’s and Actor’s Strikes Are Over!

SAG AFTRA Reports Actor’s and Writer’s Strike Is Over
SAG AFTRA reports actor’s and writer’s strikes are over

It’s been about a half of a year since the WGA announced the industry’s eighth writer’s strike since the 1950s. In early May, the buzz around Hollywood and beyond had reached our living rooms. The average everyday viewer became concerned about what this all means for their favorite shows. Then, the actor’s followed suit! Leading to the Actor’s strike.

People started asking questions about the strike and the potential impact. The strike impacts writers and their corresponding applications. For instance, General Hospital and other network Soap Operas film differently than other genres. Daytime dramas are fast-paced and high energy. Therefore, their aggressive pace sets Soap Operas weeks ahead of airing. But even with the grace period, General Hospital’s writers material ran out and that’s when alternative writer’s stepped in.

SAG AFTRA Reports Writer’s and Actor’s Strikes Are Over

After 6 long months, General Hospital news reports confirmed that The Writer’s Strike is officially over. Finally, an agreement has been made between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The official SAG•AFTRA Instagram account announced that the picket locations are closed, and the strike is officially suspended as of 12:01am on November 9th.

Thankfully, the worst is over regarding the 6 month old strike. And we no longer need to worry about what might happen if ratings decline during this delicate time. Previously, GH Blog passed along early details of the strike. The information provided was to let us know the risks if the fans stop watching General Hospital. As only one of four Soap Operas left on television, as Days only airs on Peacock, it’s imperative that we keep ratings up to avoid cancellation.

Take a look at the messages shared by SAG•AFTRA as the organization spreads the good news. Finally, the worry is over. Now writer’s and fellow actors can return to work!

General Hospital Spoilers: Adam’s Dark Side Becomes Part Of His Epic Story, Josslyn Should Buckle Up For The Wild Ride

Adam takes Josslyn for a wild ride Joshua Benard Eden McCoy
Adam takes Josslyn for a wild ride

Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Adam Wright (Joshua Benard) didn’t exactly make fast friends with each other. Instead, he offended and insulted the freshman college student. Let’s just say that Joss wasn’t too trilled when Adam approached her regarding the viral sex video. That said, it’s a wonder that these two are not study buddies, and even friends.

According to General Hospital rumors, Adam’s fixation with Dex’s girlfriend grows stronger. Right now Adam and Josslyn have spent a little time together, but not enough time to have really gotten to know each other. Although his behavior seems a bit suspicious, Josslyn has yet to catch on.

Reportedly, General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Joshua Benard and Eden McCoy prepare Adam for a front burner storyline. Joshua seems to be the perfect actor to portray Adam, who happens to have a dark side. In fact, he reminds me of someone, don’t you think? Hmm, who else has a good heart and a dark side?!

Maurice Benard’s son first appeared on General Hospital in November 12th, 2018, as a young Sonny who shot Joe Scully (1985).

Adam Takes Josslyn For A Wild Ride

Fast forward a few years and Joshua Benard returns to GH as his own character. Now, Joshua plays a complex role as Adam Wright sheds his skin and shows his vulnerabilities. General Hospital spoilers tease that Adam’s under a lot id pressure from his parents. His GPA is their number one priority. Because of this, Adam has already confided in Joss as they study hard as college freshmen.

While GH rumors tease that Dex warns Josslyn about Adam, new GH spoilers indicate that there’s a reason for the madness. It’s no secret that something is off with Adam. As it turns out, Joshua walks in his father Maurice’s footsteps as his role in General Hospital struggles with mental health. It’s yet to be confirmed whether Adam is bipolar, or possibly has borderline personality disorder. But according to recent reports, Adam will exhibit sort of a chameleon effect of behaviors toward the object of his affection- Josslyn Jacks.

GH spoilers warn, Josslyn better buckle up for this wild ride.

Daytime television star, Roger Howarth is best know for his iconic role on ABC’s One Life To Live. Sadly, the soap opera came to an end after over 43 years. Even after OLTL’s final episode in 2012, Roger Howarth’s portrayal of Todd Manning continued. That was went Howarth joined OLTL’s sister soap, the wildly popular General Hospital.

However, due to legal issues, the character names were prohibited for use at GH. Therefore, the story shifted, Todd Manning was no more, and Roger Howard with now James Franco’s replacement as Franco Baldwin. He won over fans despite the nature of the role, and circumstances lead to a personality revamp for Franco. Another twist and turn killed off Franco, which riffled a lot of fan’s feather. Alas, Howarth returns as the odd ball doctor, Dr. Austin Gatlin Holt, son of Jimmy Lee Holt.

So, why has he been missing from the canvas?

When it comes to her easing her anxiety, Tabyana said that Chavez, “He would ask me, ‘What are the places you are okay being touched? What should I not touch?

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Lexi Ainsworth Leaves Door Open For GH Return

Lexi Ainsworth is open to return

Nothing is forever… Lexi Ainsworth is open to return! GH star Lexi Ainsworth quickly became a fan favorite in her role as Kristina Corinthos. The beautiful and talented actress joined the 60 year old daytime drama back in 2009, making her name as the iconic mob boss’s daughter. Instantly, Lexi’s onscreen vibe, and her ability to connection naturally with her TV father carried her through the years.

Like father like daughter, and without a doubt, Lexi was a perfect fit. Consequently, it was like second nature for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his daughter Kristina Davis Corinthos to form and develop their father/daughter bond. At certain points, emotions ran high as Kristina fell victim of domestic violence, and even got caught up in a cult. Needless to mention, Lexi won the hearts of GH fans, especially when it comes to Kristina’s emotional scenes and her’s and Sonny’s dynamic.

Sadly, GH news reports previously confirmed that Ainsworth was leaving the show. Earlier this year, Lexi Ainsworth announced her General Hospital exit. Shortly following the news, the role was recast. Essentially, the role was recast, and Kate Mansi has stepped in as the new Kristina Davis Corinthos.

According to GH news, Lexi opened up about her days working in daytime tv. As it turns out, the 30 year old Daytime Emmy winner hasn’t closed the door on coming back to the genre. In fact, she disclosed that she’d recently auditioned for a soap opera outside of General Hospital.

Lexi Ainsworth Is Open To Return

Ainsworth explained, “I actually did audition for Y&R last year when they were recasting Summer, but that was for more of, like, a blonde bombshell, which I am not. But a lot of people who I loved to work with on GH are on other soaps, like on Y&R, there’s Brytni (Sarpy) and Jason (Thompson, Billy; ex-Patrick, GH) and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe; ex-Margaux, GH), who I would love to work with again.”

Evidently, the cards aren’t off the table for Lexi’s GH return. Currently, the role has been recast and Days actress Kate Mansi is doing a wonderful job making Kristina her own. Don’t forget to check back for more GH spoilers, news, updates and more.
