Over the years the streets of Port Charles have become more dangerous as Sonny’s enemies continue to fight for his territory. Because of this, it’s quite obvious that mob violence is a recurring problem in Port Charles. History tells us that innocent lives are at risk at any given moment. There’s no telling who is next to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Clearly, everyone is fair game.

Previously, the Mayor’s daughter even fell victim to a mob hit. Sadly, she became collateral damage when Cyrus ordered Julian Jerome (William deVry) to plant a bomb at The Floating Rib. GH recaps recall that’s when Lulu’s uncle Cyrus (Jeff Kober) was involved in her tragic accident. Yes, Mayor Laura Spencer Collins’s (Genie Francis) daughter was tragically injured because of Cyrus. Lives were forever changed after the Floating Rib explosion.

General Hospital Spoilers: Laura’s Christmas Wish Granted, Lulu Wakes To Save Charlotte

Lulu Saves Charlotte
Lulu Saves Charlotte

Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) lived for his family, but not in the noble family man type of way. Instead, it was more like he wanted to lead a powerful band of criminals.

Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) has been brainwashed! It seems like Uncle Vic wanted the last word because his terror through Port Charles lingers. General Hospital recaps highlight Victor’s influence over his granddaughter Charlotte. His evil ways live on through her as she makes Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) her first victim.

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Laura is stressing over what’s going on with Charlotte. As if she didn’t have enough trouble with her son Nikolas Cassadine, now she’s worried about her granddaughter. Victor’s influence in Charlotte’s life is evident, and Laura is afraid. She knows what they are up against because she’s had a lifetime of experience with the Cassadines. The last thing she wants is to see her granddaughter under their spell. Sadly, that’s exactly what’s happening and will worsen unless someone intervenes. But whom?

Lulu saves Charlotte

General Hospital rumors tease that Laura gets her Christmas wish! She and Charlotte want nothing more than for Lulu to wake up. Her lack of presence in Charlotte’s life is taking its toll and Laura knows that things would be better if Lulu were here. GH fans speculate that the time is finally here, and Lulu saves Charlotte just in time!

What could happen if no one stops Charlotte? Well, Anna wouldn’t be her only victim. Even worse, Charlotte is headed in Helena Cassadine’s (Constance Towers) direction. She’s a little dark Queen in the making. That is unless Lulu wakes in time to stop her!

General Hospital Spoilers: Lulu Awakens As Charlotte Fights For Her Life? Will Laura Count Her Blessings Or Her Losses?

How much pain and agony can Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) face? It seems like many of us focus on the hardship of certain characters while overlooking those of others. I’m not sure of that’s totally true in this case, but from what I’ve witnessed, it could.

Undeniably, General Hospital fans went crazy over everything Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) went through. Gladys and Dr. Montague’s stunt was the last straw as fans demanded justice for Sasha. She’d suffered to major human losses, and lost her own freedoms while entrusting it to Gladys. As if that wasn’t enough, then her own mother-in-law sold her dead husband’s garage from under her nose. Naturally, Gladys Corbin has to pay off her gambling debts somehow. So, why not sell what belonged to Brando (Johnny Wactor)? That’s just how Greedy Gladys thinks. Next, she stole Sasha’s money to pay off even more, and hired a creepy doctor to keep her drugged and unfit to look over her own finances. Sadly, this scheme almost kicked Sasha, but Cody (Josh Kelly) and crew print into action, and you know the rest.

If we go back in time, it’s clear that Sasha isn’t the only damsel who has been distressed beyond the norm. Laura Spencer, among others, carry that reputation as well. However, as the years go on, Laura continues to feel loss and heartache. Not to mention she was also held captive in her day. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Port Charles is shaken to its core after Anna shot Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez).

Lately, Lulu Spencer’s (Emme Rylan) has been named-dropped quote often. Typically, when a character is mentioned time and again, over the course of some time, they tend to make their way back to the scene.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Is Cyrus’s Financial Backer For Wyndemere

If you think Cyrus Renualt (Jeff Kober) found God, please think again. Most GH fans believe that he is lying through his teeth. Maybe at first, but now it’s safe to say that practically no one believes his newfound spirit. Surely, Cyrus has gotten about as close to finding God as I have to finding my keys when I’m late for an appointment.

Who would have thought that Cyrus and Nikolas Cassadine would work so closely together? It’s true, things aren’t always as they seem. According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Nikolas and Cyrus have more of a relationship than anyone imagine. However, not all relationships are good. Even those among family. Cyrus may very well be Nikolas’s uncle, but that doesn’t mean they have a good relationship. In fact, Nik’s long lost uncle is one of the last people he’d want to be in cahoots with.

GH recaps recall the tragic event that changed the Spencer family in an instant. That’s when Cyrus ordered a bomb to the Floating Rib and Julian Jerome (William deVry) carried out the attack. Then, in an instant, the incident landed Nikolas’s sister Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) in a coma.

Nikolas is Cyrus’s financial backer Laura Cyrus Nikolas

Back in 2021, Nikolas threatened his big bad uncle after what happened to Lulu. Since then, Cyrus has had it out for Laura’s son. GH spoilers tease that Nikolas is working with Cyrus. To clarify, GH rumors tease that he’s working with him out of obligation, not by choice. This could be Renault’s way of getting back at Nikolas for threatening him back in 2021.

Cyrus most definitely has something up his sleeve. We know that Nikolas is connected to Mason (Nathanyael Grey) and Austin (Roger Howarth), while those two goons report to Nik’s uncle Cyrus. That leads fans to believe that Cyrus is in charge of his nephew too. Remember when Cyrus had Martin give all of his l key away? Well, maybe since jikolas has money, Cyrus figured he can bank on that. That said, GH fans want to know who wants to buy Wyndemere. GH rumors tease that it’s Cyrus, but he uses Nikolas’s Cassadine fortune. But what will Nik get out of it? Nothing, or did he and Cyrus somehow form an alliance and put their differences aside?

General Hospital Spoilers: Valentin Makes A Desperate Call

Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) recently entered into what could be considered every father’s nightmare. Evidently, Valentin’s daughter Charlotte displays troubling behavior as security footage shows incriminating actions.

At the Metro Court offices, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) helped her friend get to the bottom of Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes). Al thought she’d assisted in retrieving the footage, there isn’t anything more that Nina can do about his daughter Charlotte. However, GH spoilers tease that Valentin has an idea for who to call. Since he really can’t depend on the rest of the Cassadine’s, Valentin reaches out to Charlotte’s mother’s side.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Valentin makes a desperate call about Charlotte. From the looks of things, something has come over Charlotte, and she’s acting out of character. Or, is it really that out of character for her? ???? Thankfully, her mothers side is just as strong and resourceful, and without an evil steak! According to GH previews and spoilers, that’s when Valentin calls Laura Spencer. Of course! Why didn’t he think of her sooner? There’s a good chance that Charlotte’s grandmother Laura can help. Now if only Charlotte’s mom Lulu would wake up! ????

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Emme Rylan Breaks Silence On Lulu

It’s incredible how time flies! One day it’s December of 2020, and a fan-favorite leaves General Hospital. Then before you know it, it’s creeping up on four years since then, and whispers of a return fill social media news feeds.

General Hospital recaps recall when Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) went to visit Lulu at her care facility. This past August, Charlotte teared up at her mother’s bedside. She struggles with her mother’s absence, in addition to other family issues. That’s why many fans believe that it’s the perfect time to wake up Charlotte’s mother, Lulu.

Meanwhile, Valentin’s got his work cut out for him on the home front. He’s a father first and foremost, but a Cassadine nonetheless. With that comes challenges that he and Charlotte struggle to handle on his own. According to recent GH spoilers and rumors, it makes perfect sense to wake Lulu from her coma at this time. Naturally, Lulu is a Spencer! She’s strong, resourceful, and most importantly, the Spencer family gives the Cassadines a run for their money. Currently, Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) reach has gone beyond the grave, making Lulu’s daughter his target.

Emme Rylan Breaks Silence On Lulu Spencer’s Return

General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the latest on Emme Rylan and her role as Lulu Spencer. Finally, the actress addressed all the buzz as storyline dialogue recently began to name drop Lulu Spencer. The actress made it crystal clear that she’s open and willing to return to General Hospital as the iconic Lulu.

Emma Rylan Lulu Spencer

Additionally, Rylan disclosed that she’s under the impression that TPTB will call her if and when they plan for Lulu to awaken from her coma. In regard to the flood of fan messages and inquiries the actress started by saying, “I am getting approximately one million messages asking if Lulu is waking up and… I don’t want to ruin storyline ever. I am very much into the integrity of storylines whether I’m in them or not. So I’ve been putting it off and putting it off and putting off talking. Because I’m getting so many messages! I don’t know what to say!”

There’s a fine line between what is allowed to be disclosed and what satisfies the fan’s inquiries. Emme addressed the situation the best she could. She concluded her explanation by stating, “So basically, the bottom line, no matter what the internet says, I have made it very clear to GH that I am always available to play Lulu should she ever want to wake up. It is my understanding that when they choose to wake her up, they would be calling me. That could always change. Who knows? But that is my understanding. When they want to wake her up, they will call me. That’s as much as I know and I have not heard from them.”

What do you think? Are the writers preparing to wake up Lulu just as Charlotte needs her mother the most?

General Hospital Spoilers: Dante Breaks Sam’s Heart In A Shocking Turn Of Events, Homeless Lulu Has Nowhere To Go

The inevitable is closer than we all think. Often times, a storyline is left open-ended, kinda like a cliffhanger Friday. Except the resolution doesn’t occur the following Monday. Instead, it could take months or even years to see a storyline conclusion. Particularly, an ongoing storyline has fans speculating for years. Yes, years. Its truly hard to believe that it’s been over three and a half years since Lulu Spencer Falconeri (Emme Rylan) fell victim to her Uncle Cyrus Renault (Joff Kober).

GH recaps recall that she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, making her collateral damage. Sadly, Lulu slipped into a coma in December, 2020. Since then her family lives their lives day to day. Charlotte misses her mother dearly, as does Rocco. As for Dante, he misses Lulu too. But he and Lulu weren’t even together at the time of the tragedy. However, she was just about to tell Dante (Dominic Zanprogna) that she was done with Dustin and wanted to try again. Then Julian Jerome set off the bomb before Lulu got her chance.

Dante Breaks Sam’s Heart When Lulu Comes Home

According to General Hospital spoilers, a shocking twist brings Lulu back home. And not just back home, but back home with Dante. First, she must awaken from her coma and go through the routine examinations in order for clearance to go home. Then, Lulu must recuperate in a comfortable atmosphere. Unfortunately, Lulu wouldn’t have anywhere to go if she were to awaken right now.

What’s more comfortable than a familiar place or familiar faces to care for you? Nothing. Especially when you’re sick or recovering. Hence the reason for the upcoming dilemma. Maxie and her kids just moved into Lulu and Dante’s old home. Maxie needed a bigger place, and Dante moved in with Sam.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Dante breaks Sam’s heart when a homeless Lulu needs a place to live. Whether or not Lulu moves in with Maxie, or everyone plays musical houses, Lulu’s return causes Sam and Dante’s split.
