General Hospital Newcomer OUT! Check Out the Recast!

This past year has been the year for new characters coming and going from General Hospital. POrt Charles has been like Grand Central Station with all the old characters popping in and out of town, along with new faces to familiarize with. Lately it seems that every time we get used to seeing a new face, they disappear.

In 2014 we were introduced to Robb Derringer’s portrayal of Agent Kyle Sloan. He really has it out for Anna Devane, even still after they shared a dance on New Years Eve.

Sources report that Robb Derringer was let go by the executives at GH and the role of Agent Kyle Sloan has been recast. The role will now be played by aAs the World Turns alum, Grayson McCouch.

 

 

A Frisco Jones Return?

In the last year or so, the executives at GH have been known for bringing back fan favorites and vet characters. With all of the WSB and Frisco Jones talk that went on last week, could the writers be giving the audience a hint? Last week when Maxie was in her air plane dilemma, she reached out to her father, Frisco Jones to come to her aid and get her home to Nathan before the new year. Also last week, Agent Sloan brought up the fact that Frisco was now the head of the WSB to Anna Devane.

If Jack Wagner does return to his role as Frisco Jones, there are many possible story lines he could tie into. For one, his daughter Maxie will always hold a special place in her heart for her father, also he has many long time friends and colleagues that could be part of a Frisco story line. Since he is now head of the WSB, there is potential there as well with the involvement in the entire Fluke, Jerry Jacks, Helena Cassadine saga, since Victor Cassadine and Anna Devane have been linked to the WSB for many years.

Many times, name dropping like this is a way for the writers to hint that a certain character may be on their way back to Port Charles… but not always. Jack Wagner (Frisco Jones) was most recently part of General Hospital during the 2013 Nurses Ball. When the character was written off, fans had expressed opinions that implied their favorite character had been written out of character this go around. Jack Wagner himself had trouble with the direction the writers had taken Frisco and it was no secret that Wagner left the show on rocky terms with the executives. That being said, are the General Hospital rumors about Frisco returning true, or is it pretty unlikely to see Wagner back in the role of Frisco Jones? Perhaps fences have been mended between the actor and TPTB over at General Hospital. General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated with any information confirming or denying this GH rumor.

What do you think? Would you like to see Frisco return to Port Charles to possibly redeem his character from his most recent visit? Comment below!

 

General Hospital Spoiler: Sam Confronts Jake

Port Charles’ John Doe patient, “Jake” has been walking around the city and getting acquainted with people he was once very close with, as Jason Morgan (Billy Miller). Jake had no idea who he really was, and then one day, Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) strolls along and decided to clue him in on her diabolical plan to control his mind. At that moment, Jake learns that he is Jason Morgan and that he and Liz Webber (Rebecca Herbst) share a son that has passed away, and that he is currently married to Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco), and has a son, Danny (Corbin and Caden Rothwither). The catch was though, that now Jason doesn’t remember Helena said that at all because of her extreme mind conditioning.

Helena is using Jason’s impeccable skills as a body guard/hit-man to her advantage. She has him controlled, that when she gives him a job to do, he goes out to perform her request, and when he is done, he cannot remember that he engaged in those events. His first task was to distract the PCPD so that she could help Cesar Faison escape from police custody. In order to do that, Jake had to grab Sam and hold her hostage so that Anna, Dante, and Nathan were more focused on saving Sam, than what was going on in the background with Faison. Helena’s plan was successful and Faison was able to go free.

However, Jake may not be so lucky. Sam is a private investigator and has great instincts. In her quest to find the man that helped Faison go free, she realized that the voice of the man was a perfect match to Jake. He also said the exact same thing to her in casual conversation as he did when he was under Helena’s control. He said, “it’s not like I haven’t got all day.” Those words in combination with the sound of his voice rings clear to Sam, but of course, no one really believes her. Especially Elizabeth. Sam approached Liz with her theory and Liz basically told Sam to get lost.

General Hospital previews show that Sam confronts Jason aka Jake regarding the hostage situation. Will she get anywhere with him? Since he doesn’t remember doing it, and he has no idea he is really capable of pulling it off, he will most likely wonder why in the world Sam would accuse him of such a thing. Or perhaps it will jog his memory a bit causing him to have brief flashbacks. How do you think Jason will react to Sam’s accusation?

 

 

Helena’s Mind Control: Does ‘Fluke’ Even Exist?

For almost a year, General Hospital fans have been battling with their brains, (and the writing team over at GH), trying to wrap their heads around this entire ‘Fluke’ story line. For many months there have been General Hospital rumors and speculations in regard to who is impersonating Luke Spencer. We the audience know that Helena has him locked up, has had him kept away from his family and loved ones, and he has been continuously drugged.

GH rumors have pointed the finger at many past and present characters and villains. Bill Eckert, Cesar Faison (which we know now was only a decoy), Jerry Jacks, Anthony Zacchara, Larry Ashton, to name a few. Still, there are too many holes in those theories for the vast majority of the fans to settle on one.

When Faison was in the interrogation room with Anna, he brought up Helena and how the two of them kidnapped Lucky and tried to condition his mind. Why did he bring that up? There is reason to believe that it was more than just to torment Anna with the possibility of her being under his spell and fall in love with him. Anna knows better. He tried that with her in the past, and it didn’t work. Faison went on to question whether or not Helena has perfected the art of mind control. This entire back story about Lucky gives good reason to believe that Helena is up to some old tricks.

What if ‘Fluke’ doesn’t actually exist? In the physical sense that is. Perhaps Helena has in fact perfected her art of mind control. We have seen the result of her conditioning so far in Jason Morgan. She tells him what to do and he goes out and does it. He later forgets that a certain series of events ever took place, and he forgets that Helena was ever involved. Now, that being said, what if Fluke is all in Luke’s head? Earlier in the year, when Fake Luke was acting “off” in Port Charles, that could have been because Helena’s mind control still needed a little work. Now that Fluke is back, and acting more like Luke than before, it’s possible that Helena just needed some more time to perfect her hold on Luke Spencer’s mind.

It’s entirely probable that Luke Spencer takes orders from Helena, and doesn’t remember what he has done once his tasks are through. Could Luke have an alter personality due to Helena’s mind control? At this point in the story, anything is possible, even playing around with the idea that Fake Luke isn’t another person at all. Is Fluke just Luke under Helena’s mind control?

Weigh in and let General Hospital Blog know what you think about this theory.

 

General Hospital Spoiler CONFIRMED! There are THREE Lukes!

Our suspicions were correct. After the reveal of Faison wearing Luke’s mask, many General Hospital rumors started circulating, one being that there were actually three, yes count them, three Luke Spencer’s. Well technicall, two fake Lukes, and one real deal. We all know there is only one Lucas Lorenzo Spencer, but no one every suspected that Fluke would have a sidekick.

Did we really think it would be so easy for Alexis to go into Miscavige and rescue Luke no questions asked? There were no obstacles, no one standing in her way. And since Luke (the real one) had been so heavily drugged, it was definitely a little odd when he seemed to have all his faculties. Fluke is doing a a better job this time around, playing the doting father and grandfather, playing into Tracy’s vulernability and guilt, and even calling Anna, “Slim.” He hadn’t however, called Lulu, “cupcake,” and that might be one nickname that only the real Luke would think of using for his daughter he loves so dearly.

So who has actually been pretending to be Luke Spencer? Is Helena involved? The  mystery of Fluke’s true identity continues to weigh on our minds. Who do you think is behind it all?

 

 

What You Need to Know About the Real Luke Spencer

The saga continues as the residents of Port Charles and the loved ones of Luke Spencer try to put all the pieces of the Fluke puzzle together. Recently, Julian decided to tell Alexis the truth. He told her that he framed Ric Lansing and named him the mob boss so that he could protect Alexis and their families. He also let her in on the biggest GH secret… that Luke wasn’t actually really Luke. Julian led Alexis to Miscavige, the institution where Luke was being drugged and held prisoner. However, there is a sneaky suspicion that the man Alexis found, “Luke” may still not be the real Luke Spencer. Anna and Dante arrested a Luke impostor, and as they were cuffing him, Anna pulled off the mask. General Hospital spoilers previously leaked that the true fake Luke would not be using a mask. It was said that there was much more than just another mask story, and now it’s all starting to make sense.

What if the man Alexis rescued isn’t the real Luke at all? Perhaps the man in the Quartermaine mansion is still Luke’s impostor, the and real Luke is locked up somewhere. Previously, General Hospital rumors poked around at Luke and Robin possibly being locked up in the same place, courtesy of Helena Cassadine. Faison may have created a Luke mask, and Anna may have just arrested a Luke impostor, but did she arrest THE Luke impostor?

Will Robert Scorpio Return to Save Robin From Helena?

The last time we saw Robin Scorpio Drake, she had to fake a video chat call with her husband Patrick (Jason Thompson) and her mother Anna (Finola Hughes). Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) was behind the staged call. Robin was told to pretend she had just left her family and went off to Paris to deal with the fact that she and Patrick were getting a divorce. In actuality, she is being held against her will by the evil shrew that is Helena Cassadine. At this point, Anna and Patrick are at a loss, as they honestly believe that Robin is away by her own choice. Why would they come looking for her if they think she has chosen to stay in Paris? They wouldn’t. That being said, perhaps this is where her father, Robert Scorpio comes in. According to the most recent issue of Soaps in Depth Magazine, and General Hospital Rumors, ABC’s General Hospital may be gearing up for the return of super spy, father of Robin, actor Tristan Rogers.

While Anna and Patrick sit back and believe that Robin has abandon them and her daughter Emma, it would be the perfect time for Robin’s secret spy father, Robert Scorpio to charge into the situation like a White Knight, saving his daughter from long time rival, Helena Cassadine.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans posted on the status of Tristan Rogers’ possible returning. Keep checking back for any confirmation regarding this story.

 

Jason and Robin Are at the Doorsteps of Their Loved Ones… What Happens Next?

Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough) and Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) manage to escape the blaze of glory that became of Crichton-Clark Clinic. Robin told Jason that they were able to escape because of him… they are alive and well and safely on the doorsteps of the ones they love. Robin instructed Jason to drive straight to Sonny’s house after she drove herself to the Metro Court to get in contact with her mother, Anna (Finola Hughes). She feared that if she and Jason went to their homes, they would be putting Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Emma (Brooklyn Silzer), and Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Danny (Corbin and Caden Rothwither) in danger. Just in case Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) and her cronies were on their tales, Robin wanted to make sure that she didn’t put them in that type of situation.

At the end of Monday’s episode, we saw Robin banging on her Mother’s door at The Metro Court, and Jason approaching Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) doorstep, with his wife Sam inside. What happens next? Will it be this easy for Jason to reunite with the love of his life, Sam Morgan, and his best friend, Sonny Corinthos? Jason and Robin are so close to home that WE the fans can taste it. Could it be that we are able to see the reunion everyone has been longing for? …Or will something unexpected happen before Jason gets to present himself to Sonny and Sam?

Is Robin Going to Die?

Will Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake die (again) saving Jason Morgan?

A few years ago, fans of Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough), and the character’s friends and family, thought they had lost Robin forever after the lab at General Hospital exploded with Robin inside. Robin was on a mission to save the life her her former lover and current best friend, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton/Billy Miller). Patrick (Jason Thompson) stood watch as the locked lab burst into flames and there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. He watched Robin expire right before his his… or so he thought. We the fans thought the same thing. Right along with Patrick, we thought that Robin was dead.

The actress, Kimberly McCullough made it known that she was wanting to explore other options in her career and had a hand in directing projects. To our surprise, the writers at General Hospital rewrote Robin’s exit to leave a more open ended result. 2 years after Robin died, friends and family of the brilliant doctor learned that Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) was behind staging Robin’s death in a sick and twisted attempt at getting closer to her mother, Anna DeVane (Finola Hughes). Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) took part in assisting Faison with this horrific kidnapping as she is totally infatuated with him, the father of her daughter, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).

In the latest edition of Soaps In Depth, General Hospital spoilers tease that Robin may blow up, but for real this time. With General Hospital rumors claiming that Robin and Jason will be involved in an accident after they manage to escape from Crichton-Clark, will this lead to the demise of Robin Scorpio? Kimberly McCullough has been coming back and forth on General Hospital for quite some time now, and now that her character and Jason Thompson’s character, Patrick Drake are calling it quits, will Kimberly leave General Hospital for good? There has been no confirmation of this news as of yet. General Hospital Blog will keep you updated on all General Hospital comings and goings.
