Billy Miller Discusses His Own Spin on Jason Morgan

General Hospital newcomer, Billy Miller explains his plans for the character of Jason Morgan. Billy Miller had some extremely large shoes to fill by taking on this role after Steve Burton created the Jason Morgan persona for over 20 years. Fans have survived many recasts of their favorite beloved characters throughout the years. The soap industry is known for their ins and outs, and the potential of characters being recast. This is nothing new, yet the news of Steve Burton leaving General Hospital to go to The Young and the Restless hit fans harder than any other recast in General Hospital history. The recast process seemed to take forever, and the powers that be did a fantastic job of throwing everyone off. With the on again off again rumors of Billy Miller replacing Steve Burton, fans were kept in the dark on if and when this big change was going to happen. When the news was finally confirmed, it stirred up all sorts of mixed emotions among the fan bases. Die hard Steve Burton fans were angry, Billy Miller fans were ecstatic that they would be able to see their favorite actor on screen again, and many people just wanted to give Billy a chance and then make a decision on whether or not he could be the new Jason Morgan.

Billy Miller is a hit with the fans. He is living up to the legend of Jason Morgan and his chemistry with Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber) is undeniable. Obviously, any recast is going to have minor and major differences from the previous actor who played the part. It is important to realize that in these situations, we will never get an exact replica. It’s important to welcome these changes with open arms, and appreciate the work that the actor is doing in order to entertain the fans. Billy Miller discusses the differences he is creating in this new Jason, aka Jake. In a recent interview, Miller said, “It would be ridiculous for me to mimic (the way Burton played him).” Miller states that this new Jason is a bit brighter, he smiles more, and throws in jokes to lighten the mood. He continued to explain, “It’s more fun in this genre whenever you can add some lightness to it or make it funny. You don’t get a lot of room for that so I usually look for it. It’s a scary position for this guy who is so lost and doesn’t know who he is, so you match that with a little bit of humor.”

Billy Miller is looking forward to when Jason finally comes in contact with his past. His past that includes his old lifestyle. His job. Miller looks forward to working with legends such as Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), Roger Howarth (Franco), and Tony Geary (Luke Spencer). In regard to working with Geary, Miller says, “I can’t wait for that acting class.”

Jason Morgan: I’ll Be Home for Christmas

This year, there may just be a Christmas miracle. Although Jason is technically “home,” he doesn’t actually know it. He doesn’t know his place in this world, he doesn’t even know his own real name. What he does know right now, is that he has a true friend in Elizabeth Webber, and that he has an undeniable connection to Danny.

Brand new General Hospital spoilers insinuate that Jake will finally remember exactly who he is, who is son, is, who his wife is, and who is friends and family are. At this point is has not been confirmed, but there is a strong believe that Jake will be revealed as Jason the week of December 22nd. If General Hospital rumors regarding this are true, this would mean that Jason would be home for Christmas. Fans have been waiting for what seems like forever for a JaSam reunion, and it looks like we might get our Christmas miracle.

Who Does Jason Belong With?

It is so exciting knowing that Jason Morgan will be coming home to Port Charles! Billy Miller has taken on the role of Jason and will be arriving in Port Charles soon enough. Jason is married to his soul mate, Samantha. However, he has had deep connections and love with a few other women in town. Robin and Jason have been there for each other from the beginning. Robin has saved Jason’s life and Jason has done the same for her. Carly and Jason are best friends. Before Sam came along, Carly was always his number one girl. Even after Jason established a relationship with Sam, he and Carly remained best buddies, just not at Carly’s every beck and call. Elizabeth have a strong past and were once deeply in love. They shared a child together, who passed away in an unfortunate accident.

When Jason returns, will he still be in love with his wife, Sam, or will his heart belong to someone else?

 

A New Lucky Spencer Could Be on His Way to PC

Lucky Spencer is the son of legendary lovers Lucas Lorenzo (Luke) Spencer (Tony Geary) and the beautiful Laura Spencer (Genie Francis). He is the half brother of Prince Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) and the ex-husband of the lovely Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), among many other connections in Port Charles.

Lucky left Port Charles after being betrayed and hurt by the love of his life, Elizabeth and his own brother, Nikolas. Liz and Nik were best friends for many years. In more recent years, after being on and off again with Liz’s great love Lucky, and Nikolas losing his true love and Liz’s best friend Emily, Nik and Liz grew to be more than friends. There relationship became romantic and was a steamy love affair. Lucky’s heart belonged to Elizabeth at the time and Liz was torn between the two brothers. When Lucky found out that he had been betrayed by the two people he cared for most, he ultimately ended up leaving town.

Since actor and portrayer of Lucky Spencer, Jonathan Jackson is now on ABC’s hit series, Nashville, it doesn’t look like we will be seeing him reprise his role as Lucky any time soon.

There have been recent rumors circulating regarding Lucky returning to GH and who will be playing him. It seems like General Hospital has been getting a few stars from NBC’s The Young and the Restless, such as Michelle Stafford (Nina Clay) and possibly Billy Miller who has been reported to play the new Jason Morgan this August. The most current news regarding a new Lucky is that Y&R star Michael Muhney will be cast to play General Hospital’s Lucky Spencer. Recently, he and actor Rick Hearts (Ric Lansing) have been quite friendly with their twitter exchanges. There is a possibility that the two have gotten to know one another taping on the set of GH. With Michael Muhney’s recent departure from Y&R, it is likely that this rumor will come true in the near future.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans posted on any concrete news from executives that confirm this casting rumor. In the mean time, hang tight and keep watching GH!

Liz Sees Dead People

 

The newest rumor flying around the General Hospital fan media is that Elizabeth sees the dead… or not so dead. Rumor has it that she is either going crazy to think she is seeing people who have been thought to be dead, or she actually sees these people. Supposedly there will be three.

The question is, who could they be? Some names have been thrown out there and these are just a few the fans came up with… Jason, Ric, AJ. However, if one of them she sees is Jason whom we know is coming back to GH, (Billy Miller), it might make sense that the other two are possible Stavros and Helena. After all, Victor Cassadine needed Robin’s help to bring some Cassadine’s back from there cryogenic state.

If this rumor ends up being true, and Liz is about to see three people she thought were dead, who do you think they would be?  Comment below with your guesses!

 

Elizabeth’s Love Triangle

It’s been a while since Elizabeth’s (Rebecca Herbst) love life was front and center. For many years she and Lucky stole the stage. After Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) left her and Port Charles, Liz has been looking for love and finding it in the wrong people (AJ- Sean Kanan). What I am thinking now is that Elizabeth may find herself in a new love triangle. After Lucky, she rekindled her old feelings for Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) but her feelings for AJ stood in their way. Now that she realizes she loves Nikolas, and their affair wasn’t just a pointless mistake, he has moved on with Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). I can’t help but wonder what Nikolas will do once the truth comes out about baby Ben. Once Nikolas knows that Britt stole his own sister Lulu’s baby, how would they ever get back from that? Can their relationship be repaired after such a betrayal? My guess is that he will turn to Elizabeth.

At the same time, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst), Liz’s ex-husband and brother of mobster, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is back in town. Sonny isn’t the only one in that family with a dangerous reputation. Ric has committed his fair share of crimes including kidnapping a pregnant Carly and keeping her captive in a panic room- all the while Elizabeth was living in the same house without a clue. He has lied, cheated, and manipulated.

There are two very strong fan bases for Elizabeth and Nik and Elizabeth and Ric. It will be interesting to see where the writers will take this. If Elizabeth was presented with a choice of Nik or Ric, who do you think she should choose? Weigh in and leave comments below!

Michael Saucedo to Reprise GH Role of Juan Santiago

General Hospital actor, Michael Saucedo, who is the real life husband of GH’s Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber), will be returning to Port Charles to reprise his role as Juan Santiago.

Last name ring a bell? He is related to Sabrina! Also, there may be a connection between Juan and Sabrina’s ex boyfriend, Carlos. Rivera. Juan is the son of Lily Rivera, played by Lilly Melgar, and Miguel Mortez, played by Ricky Martin.  He was last scene on the GH scene back in 2001.

This news has been reported and confirmed by Soap Opera Network and Soap Opera Digest.

 

General Hospital Shake Ups!

Wow, after that Anna/Dr. Obrecht shocker, whose to say what we are in for next! These recent story lines have been so intense and the actors have been doing such an amazing job conveying every single feeling and emotion into their stories. I don’t know about you, but I cried the entire time I saw Patrick, Emma, Elizabeth, and Robin on my screen. The whole time “Anna” was talking to Faison, I didn’t for one second think that it wasn’t really Anna. I loved the scene, and felt for Anna when she heard straight from the horses mouth that her daughter Robin was actually alive. Little did I know, it wasn’t Anna at all, but Dr. Obrecht in a mask. Faison has betrayed Obrecht and now she knows it. Faison was willing to tell Anna their entire plot and plan because he loves HER, not Dr. Obrecht. Disguised as Anna, Dr. O learned the harsh truth that Faison will always love Anna and will never return her feelings.

What will happen now that Dr. Obrecht knows Faison would have outed her and Jerry about Robin? I can only imagine she would be out for some intense revenge.

Now that Dr. Obrecht knows Faison will never love her and will always love Anna, will she reveal a secret? Who is Britt’s Father?

Will Robin make it home in time before her birthday is over?

Is This the End of Elizabeth and AJ?

Just as we all thought that Elizabeth and AJ were getting closer, today’s episode took their relationship down a whole new road. Even after denying the affections of Prince Nikolas and choosing to give AJ a chance, and even after AJ slept with Carly, Liz still stuck by his side.

Since AJ has found out that Kiki is not a Quatertmaine and that her votes did not count towards his win over Tracy, his true colors are shining through. You know what they say, people never really change. We thought AJ was trying to be a better person and Liz thought that he was trying to make a life for himself worth fighting for. When she showed up at The Floating Rib to show her support and help him through his loss of ELQ, he was less than grateful. He was lashing out at her and stepped over the line. After AJ was so cold to bring up Jake and tell Liz she wasn’t watching her child at the time of the tragic event, I do not see how there is a way for her to ever want to be with him. He cut her very deeply, attacking her and blaming her for the loss of her son. AJ and Elizabeth could have been a great couple, but I just don’t see how it could ever work now.

If you were a QUIZ shipper, what are your thoughts now that AJ has crossed the line? Does Elizabeth belong with Nik?
