General Hospital News: Rebecca Budig, GH’s New Robin Scorpio Drake?

Early this month General Hospital Blog reported that All My Children Alum, Rebecca Budig, (Greenlee Smythe) would be joining the cast of General Hospital. Loyal ABC soap fans went wild with this exciting news, as they celebrated the news of this casting decision.

When AMC went off the air, there was much disappointment and fans felt the loss of both AMC and OLTL. OLTL fans were fortunate to be able to catch their favorite stars (Roger Howarth, Kristen Alderson, and Michael Easton) join the cast of General Hospital. Now that Rebecca will be joining GH, AMC fans have something to celebrate.

However this good news does not come without controversy. New General Hospital rumors have been circulating in regard to who Budig will be playing when she arrives in Port Charles. After Executive Producer, Frank Valentini tweeted that Budig will join GH in a “killer new role” most fans took those words literally, and speculated that she would be playing another GH villain. Now that the dust has settled and fans have gotten used to the news of her coming to PC, it can’t help but to cross everyone’s minds…

GH rumor has it that Rebecca Budig will be replacing Kimberly McCullough as the icon Robin Scorpio Drake. McCullough joined General Hospital at the age of 7, beginning in 1985. Recently, the actress has come and gone in her role as Robin to pursue her directing career. The executives at GH have always left the opportunity open for McCullough to return to the show as long as it was feasible to writer her into the script. Kimberly McCullough has been GH’s sweetheart for decades, and the thought of a Robin recast to fans has been very difficult to take it.

Could these rumors be true? Do you think that the crew over at ABC and General Hospital would recast such a role as the legendary Robin Scorpio Drake? Let us know what you think by leaving your comments below.

Jake Remembers He is Jason Morgan! Will He Live to Tell the Secret?

Ironically, with the help of Helena Cassadine, it has been proven that she has been controlling Jake Doe with mind conditioning and a microchip. Dr. Patrick Drake confirmed Helena’s claims with a brain scan, finding the microchip hidden deep within Jake’s brain. He is undergoing surgery to finally put an end to what Helena has done.

All of Jason’s leading ladies are right by his side. He has Elizabeth with him in the operating room as Sam and Carly stand by and pray that he survives. At this time, these women are there to support a friend. Liz has been by Jake’s side since he was first brought to GH, she let him into her home and life, and wants the best for him. Sam has felt some strange connections to Jake, as her son Danny mysteriously clung to his side when they first met. Carly also feels a familiar bond with Jake, and she and Sam also want him to pull through to over come the damage Helena has done.

On the operating table, just before he went under, Jake had flashbacks of Helena giving him orders, and explaining that he is in fact the one and only Jason Morgan. He is in the middle of an extremely risky surgery and even Dr. Drake doesn’t know if he will make it out alive.

Will Jake live to tell Helena’s secret and reunite with his wife, family, and friends? Check out GH at 2PM Eastern!

General Hospital Rumors: Sonny Didn’t Kill AJ…

In the midst of all the mayhem and revelations coming to light in Port Charles, there may just be more truths that are about to be disclosed. For a long time now,General Hospital rumors have been circulating social media sites, claiming that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) did not kill AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan).

Does this mean that AJ is alive? Although that is one rumor floating around, it’s highly unlikely. It’s unlikely because actor Sean Kanan has since joined another soap, on another network. What it COULD mean though is that when Sonny shot AJ, it wasn’t his bullet that killed Michael’s father.

Sonny and Michael’s relationship is so far gone after Sonny killed AJ that it looks as though there is no sign of reconciliation. Even after Sonny risked his life, busted out of Pentonville, and saved Michael (Chad Duell) and the rest of the people on The Haunted Star, Michael still won’t see passed what he did to AJ. However, if it were to come out that AJ did not die by the hands of Sonny, would Michael be able to forgive Sonny? The GH rumor is that Fluke actually is the one who finished the job. Since he wants his hands all over ELQ, getting rid of AJ would get him one step closer to having control.

Even though Sonny was pardoned, he still lives with the guilt of hurting Michael by what he had done, and Michael still knows that Sonny killed his father and lied to him about it. But if it were to come out that someone else caused AJ’s death, perhaps Sonny and Michael would be able to reconcile.

General Hospital Spoilers: The Luke Spencer Mystery Finally Solved

The mystery of Fluke/Luke Spencer has been one hell of a roller coaster for a longer period of time than fans ever expected. For over an entire year fans have been left in the dark to try and unravel the mystery behind fake Luke Spencer. Was he an impostor? Was it plastic surgery, a mask? Was it all in his mind, brainwashing from his arch enemy Helena Cassadine?

Tracy, Lulu, Bobbie, and all of Luke’s loved ones and friends couldn’t wrap their heads around is peculiar behavior over the past year. He has been sneaky to say that least, and down right dangerous. He has hurt those who love him the most, and who he loves dearly. Nothing was adding up, especially in the most recent explanation that Luke was just being himself, no regrets. The thought of Luke trying to kill his own cupcake, Lulu, and his love, Tracy Quartermaine, rattled many cages. Fans were upset because the legendary Luke Spencer they had known for decades was now gone. The characters of GH who surround Luke are feeling the exact same way. He has become a stranger to his family and friends, and his own sister Bobbie is ready to throw in the towel.

With the help of Helena’s explanation to Nikolas and Lulu, and Bobbie getting through to Luke, the mystery has finally been solved. Fake Luke isn’t another person, he isn’t wearing a mask, he hasn’t been brainwashed, and he didn’t just change his mind and turn against the ones he loves. The way Luke “snapped out of it” when Bobbie was preaching to him gave the impression that Luke hasn’t been aware of how he has been behaving because of split personalities.

The concept of DID on soaps is not a new one, the most famous DID story in soap history is from One Life to Live, involving Victoria Lord and her alter egos. More recently, General Hospital used DID in the story with Connie Falconeri/Kate Howard.

It looks like this is where the writers are going with this ongoing Luke Spencer mystery. The mystery has finally been solved. Luke has DID due to traumatic events he experienced growing up in the old Spencer home. General Hospital spoilers reveal that those times are about to resurface, and Luke will have to face what he went through yet again. Will going down memeory line hurt or help his state of mind?

How do you feel about this DID story involving Luke Spencer? Are you happy this story has finally been solved?

What’s REALLY Going On With Luke Spencer

Lucas Lorenzo Spencer as we know him is gone. So far gone that he is unrecognizable to his daughter Lulu Falconeri, and his love, Tracy Quartermaine. The two most important women in Luke’s life are at a loss, not knowing what has come over the ones loving, sincere man they once knew.

Lulu and Tracy had their hopes high with the idea of being able to blame Helena Cassadine for Luke’s 180 in his personality. For the past year, he has been acting like a completely different person, so much so that his loved ones and residents of PC actually began to believe that Luke WAS another person. When Faison turned out to be just a decoy so that Fluke could continue on withreeking havoc on the city of PC, everyone was convinced that Helena had perform mind conditioning on Luke, as she had done on Jake Doe (Jason Morgan). Lulu did not want to face the conclusion that her adoring father had actually tried to kill her and everyone he/they care about. She and Tracy needed someone to blame for Luke’s behavior and they had their minds set on Luke’s arch enemy, Helena.

When it turned out that Jake Doe was found to have a microchip in his brain as Helena disclosed, Luke however did not. As of now, there is no reason to believe that Helena has used a microchip to control Luke Spencer. That doesn’t mean that it ends there. As Tracy told Luke today, it is clear that there is much more to this than Luke is leading on. He claims these acts are his and his alone. That the way he treated his daughter, Tracy, and wanting what Sonny has has been in him this whole time, and that he just now figured out how to TAKE all the power.

Just as we as fans and the characters of GH thought that had this Fluke mystery all figured out, we encountered yet another setback. The story feels like a never ending mystery and many fans are ready to through their hands in the air and give up trying to solve it. Hopefully it won’t be much longer until Tracy, Lulu, Nikolas, or whoever has the power to get to the bottom of this does just that.

What do you think is really going on with Luke Spencer? Since he is NOT an impostor, and Helena claims she is not controlling him, what could have happened? Did the drugs he was given in Miscavige effect his brain this severely? Will we ever get our beloved Luke back? Will Lulu get to see her dad enjoy his grandson Rocco when this is all over? We will just have to stick it out a little longer and watch it all unfold in upcoming episodes of General Hospital.

Olivia: “I’m Pregnant With Julian’s Baby”

Not a big shocker here. We kind of saw this coming once actress Lisa LoCicero announced that she is pregnant with her second child with husband, Michael Patrick Jann. Many times when actresses on soaps are pregnant in real life it is written into the script. Since Olivia slept with Julian Jerome on New Years Eve, and to our knowledge hasn’t been bed hopping with any other residents of Port Charles, it’s safe to say that Olivia is right. It looks as though this definitely won’t be a “whose the daddy” type of story line, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be complicated.

Olivia Falconeri and Julian Jerome are far from being in love. They were only together once, and those both have their hearts set on someone else. On NYE both were feeling lonely and broken hearted since Ned Ashton was in a relationship with Alexis Davis. Julian still cares a great deal for the mother of his child (Sam Morgan), and Olivia has fallen hard for her friend Ned. Julian and Olivia were there for one another to get them through this emotional time.

Alexis and Ned have finally confronted the fact that she is hung up on Julian, and Ned has finally realized that he belongs with Olivia. Of course nothing is that simple in soap world. Olivia being pregnant with Julian’s baby puts a wrench in the development of both Julian and Alexis’ and Olivia and Ned’s relationships. It will be interesting to see how this will all play out. How will Alexis react to this devastating news, just as she put down her wall and accepted Julian for the mobster he is?

Let us know your thoughts! Are you happy Olivia is pregnant with Julian’s baby?

Spinelli Professes His Love, Who Will Maxie Choose?

Fans who have been supporting Nathan (Ryan Paevey) and Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) relationship from the very beginning might be biting their lips right now, nervous that the new romance won’t even stand a chance now that Spinelli is back. Some fans who have been on the Naxie bandwagon since Nathan arrived supported the couple because it was second best to Spixie. Others just remained hung up on Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Maxie’s love story and didn’t want to accept that Maxie would move on with anyone.

When Spinelli and Ellie (Emily Wilson) still lived in Port Charles, Maxie was the one professing her love to Spinelli. She told him after all they had been through that she had wanted him back, and he rejected her love and chose Ellie. The two moved to Portland Oregon so that Ellie could pursue her career at the local hospital lab. Maxie was left alone in her thoughts of being rejected, and alter finding out that she lost custody of her own daughter to Spinelli.

Now that Maxie has finally put her life back together with the help and support of those who love her, including Nathan West, she had the courage to move on romantically. Nathan and Maxie have a large adoring fan base, but is it as strong as the 8 year romance that had developed between Maxie “Maximista” and Damian Spinelli. Today they have an even stronger bond, their daughter Georgie (Harper Rose Barash).

Spinelli is back in Port Charles and since Christmas, he has had a lot to think about. While still with Ellie, she pointed out to Spinelli that he and Maxie look like they belong together, as a family, with their daughter. Spinelli has now confessed his feelings for his Maximista, and since Nathan and Maxie aren’t seeing eye to eye over Johnny Zacchara (Brandon Barash), will this be the gateway for a Spixie reunion? Maxie said it herself, no one knows her the way Spinelli knows her. and accepts her the way she is. Does Nathan have it in him to love Maxie as selflessly as Spinelli does?

Let us know what you think! Would you like to see Maxie move on from Spinelli with Detective Nathan West, or would you like to see Spinelli and Maxie be a family with their daughter Georgie?

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Knows Jake is Jason Morgan

Being the grandson of the legendarily lethal Helena Cassadine can’t be easy. In fact we know that Nikolas has been through some really horrible times as a result of being her grandson. Helena claims she acts out of love for Nikolas, and hopes that one day he will behave like a true Cassadine, but we know that she is pure evil.

Having Helena has his grandmother may actually serve as a benefit in this story line. As General Hospital spoilers and previews show, Nikolas makes a very blunt statement. Nik doesn’t really hesitate in proclaiming that he knows Jake Doe’s true identity, Jason Morgan. Nikolas confronts Helena regarding the situation with Jake and Luke Spencer. In questioning, he asks her why she chose Jake as her personal “soldier boy,” the man who she has condition to commit crimes on her behalf.

Now that Nikolas knows the truth, how soon will it be before news travels to Sam? Let us know if you think that Nikolas will keep this information within a select few, or if he will waste no time in letting Sam Morgan know that her husband Jason is alive and in the form of Helena’s science project.

Trouble In Paradise for Maxie and Nathan

It’s Valentine’s Day, but after Maxie’s confession to Nathan, they aren’t quite seeing eye to eye. Although coming clean so quickly about helping an old friend, Johnny Zacchara run from the law was out of character for Maxie, she and Nathan still find themselves at odds.

The fact that Maxie would risk the court finding out about her behavior and jeopardizing her visitation with Georgie was pretty irresponsible. Nathan also is irritated with the fact that she actually put him, as a Detective of the PCPD in a very poor position. Nathan now will lie for Maxie, claming that Johnny broke in and store her keys and cash.

The arrival of Maxie’s ex-(non)husband, and the father of her child might also put a damper on her relationship with Nathan. Spinelli confessed to Maxie that Ellie did not come along because they broke up. Apparently, she broke up with Spinelli over Maxie.

Now that Spinelli is back in town, Ellie is out of the picture, and Nathan and Maxie aren’t seeing eye to eye, will there be a Spixie reunion?

We want to know what the fans think! Do you ship “Naxie” or would you love to see”Spixie” rekindle their one of a kind love?
