Yesterday, General Hospital Blog shared a rumor that had been flying around, claiming that Michael Easton was leaving General Hospital. As it turns out, that rumor has become true.
Michael Easton joined GH after the fallout of our two beloved ABC soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live. He first came to Port Charles as John McBain, his character’s name from Llanview on OLTL. Due to legal issues between Prospect Park and ABC, ABC was forced to change the OLTL name. With some clever writing, Michael Easton soon became Dr. Silas Clay, with ties to the show, Port Charles.
This morning, Daytime Confidential has confirmed that Michael Easton has ended his character as Dr. Silas Clay on General Hospital.
How do you feel about this breaking news? GH Blog is uncertain if Michael Easton has decided to walk away from GH or if the actor was let go. We will keep you updated with any information related to this story.
The latest casting buzz following the news of GH Head Writer, Ron Carlivati being let go, is that Michael Easton may be on his way out. Michael Easton joined the cast of General Hospital after One Life to Live was cancelled. Easton went on to continue playing the role of John McBain until ABC had some legal issues with using the names from the axed soap. The GH writers were forced to drop the OLTL names, and wrote Michael Easton as Dr. Silas Clay.
Rumor has it that Michael is on his way out, but nothing has yet been confirmed. Daytime Confidential has also reported of this rumor, apparently, this type of news travels quickly.
It seems as though there has been much potential for Silas. First with Sam (Kelly Monaco), then with Nina (Michelle Stafford), and also with Ava Jerome (Maura West). There is so much that could be done with his character, since he has Kiki (Hayley Erin) as his daughter, Nina as his crazy ex-wife, Ava his ex-mistress and their love/hate relationship. A while back there was a GH rumor going around that Nina didn’t actually lose her baby with Silas, but that Madeline and Ava were in cahoots to take Nina’s baby (Kiki) and pass her off as the product of Ava and Silas’ affair.
Hopefully with the new writing team coming into place, they will be able to find a way to elaborate on Silas’ past and develop his character. Many fans have expressed that a Silas and Ava pairing would be a great idea, especially since there is so much history between those two.
General Hospital Blog will keep fans posted on any new developments related to the status of Michael Easton with General Hospital.
We want to know what you think! Would you like to see Michael Easton stay on GH as Silas Clay?
It’s not unlike the soap world to SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Age Syndrome) the little ones on the show from time to time. We haven’t seen much of the kids of Port Charles lately, including the fan favorite, Spencer Cassadine.
Today, in a comment via Twitter, the actor, Nicolas Bechtel tweeted “When one door closes another one opens.”
It’s uncertain whether or not the young actor was speaking of himself as in working at GH, another aspect of his life, or regarding something else entirely. Some fans have expressed that Nicolas may have tweeted that regarding the recent General Hospital news about Head Writer, Ron Carlivati being replaced.
It seems unlikely that there would be a need to write Spencer Cassadine off the show, or age him drastically enough to have to change the actor who plays the part. We sure hope that Nicolas was referring to another situation, and not his current status with General Hospital.
Let us know what you think. Do you think they are aging Spencer Cassadine and are ready to recast the role?
Check out Nicolas Bechtel’s tweet below!

General Hospital spoilers and news have revealed that GH executives have posted a casting call. It looks like we will be getting a new face around Port Charles. The question is, will this new face be a replacement for an actor who has left the canvas, or will this be an entirely new character altogether?
They are seeking a new character, an African-American male. This man is said to have to be in his mid 30s, and should be “very handsome, dynamic, and charismatic.”
This will be for a contract role on GH.
General Hospital rumors have speculated, guess that this may be a recast for Sean Blakemore’s character, Shawn Butler.
Let us know what you think. Is this casting call for a recast or a new character? General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on any new information, and any confirmation of an actor chosen for this role.
Check out the video clip below of Tony’s last day on the set of General Hospital!
We all knew this day was coming, but it has really crept up on us all rather quickly. A few months back, General Hospital Blog shared the news that Anthony Geary had announces his retirement, after over 3 decades on the daytime drama, General Hospital. His character Luke Spencer is legendary to say the least. Geary and co-star Genie Francis made history as the infamous Luke and Laura.
Tuesday, June 22nd, Anthony Geary taped his very last seen as Lucas Lorenzo Spencer. Luke will be departing Port Charles later this Summer. It was an emotional goodbye, as his friends and cast mates bid him farewell after 37 years in the iconic role. Geary was surrounded by GH stars including Finola Hughes (Anna Devane), Leslie Charleson (Monica Quartermaine), Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe), Kristina Wagner (Felicia Jones), Kin Shriner (Scotty Baldwin), and more. At the farewell, friend Maurice Benard told Geary, “Not having you here is going to be sad for me.”
Anthony Geary has won 8 Daytime Emmy Awards for his role as Luke Spencer. He has called GH his home for 37 climactic years.
Leaving General Hospital is bitter sweet for Geary. Although it’s sad to say goodbye, he looks forward to what the future holds for his personal life and his career. Geary tells Entertainment Weekly, “I’m excited to raise the curtain on act 3, to reinvent myself in my new home to pursue whatever opportunity there may be. It’s an exciting prospect to me. They’ve done a wonderful job of wrapping up the character. So this seems like the ideal time to go.”
As Geary walks away from the Daytime genre, he leaves with words of hope and encouragement for the industry and fans. In regard to the survival of daytime soaps, and the stir up involving the cancellation of One Life to Live and All My Children, Geary tells EW, “It was scary there for two or three years when every thing was being cancelled. The network thought that talk shows should take over because people weren’t going to be interested in soaps. But there has been a resurgence and I think that’s hopeful sign. I don’t believe it’s the end of the medium. Serialization is a great way to tell stories.”
Anthony Geary and Luke Spencer will be greatly missed by us at General Hospital Blog. Geary is an extremely talented actor, and Luke will never be forgotten. We wish him the absolute best in everything that comes his way going forward. It is sad to say goodbye, but there is a warm place in our hearts knowing that he gave so much to the industry for so long. Thank you Anthony Geary! We love you!
General Hospital fans along with the residents of Port Charles have been left in the dark when it comes to Luke and Laura. On the surface, it looks as though Laura Spencer has come back to Port Charles to stake her claim in Luke, the love of her life. However, there is so much more to it than that. It has to be something HUGE for Luke to up and hurt Tracy like that, after he has been so sure of his love for her. Luke was ready to truly commit himself to Tracy Quartermaine once and for all until Laura came to him with unsettling news.
General Hospital spoilers have revealed that while Tracy and the rest of PC are angry with Luke, thinking he has chosen Laura, his daughter Lulu learns the truth. It has been rumored that Luke will end up disclosing to Lulu what he and Laura are actually up to, and what they are facing. Lulu must keep her parent’s secret from the rest of their family and friends, but will the secret also be kept from fans? We aren’t actually certain whether or not the writers a GH will be letting us in on Luke and Laura’s secret right off the bat. Odds are though that that will be going on an adventure together and we will get to see exactly what they are up to outside of Port Charles.
Since the news regarding Jonathan Jackson (Lucky Spencer), Emma Samms (Holly Sutton), and Nathan Parsons (Ethan Lovett)’s return, there are endless story line possibilities for Luke and Laura. Stayed tuned to General Hospital this Summer for all the adventure and drama, and to say farewell to the legendary Lucas Lorenzo Spencer.
This Summer is going to be HOT will drama! There are so many stories to look forward to in the upcoming months with include the arrival of new faces, familiar faces, and familiar names with new faces.
General Hospital’s Executive Producer, Frank Valentini announced via Twitter, that BIG casting news is about to his the media.
Stay tuned and check out General Hospital Blog updates to find out what Valentini has in store for GH fans.
Hey @GeneralHospital fans: BIG casting news coming later this afternoon…stay tuned! #GH
Get ready for the Summer of General Hospital that you will never forget. As we all say goodbye to a legend, fans and cast members alike will come together to wish GH’s biggest star, Anthony Geary, farewell. A couple months ago, General Hospital Blog reported to you that Tony Geary had announced he will be retiring from General Hospital and leaving the show for good. Geary’s character Luke has been in and out of Port Charles for years, making his adventure story lines that much more intriguing and mysterious. As we learned the deep, dark, history of the Spencer family upbringing, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer’s entire character came full circle. Anthony Geary felt that at this time, it is the perfect time for him to hang up the many hats he wore while playing the funny, caring, free spirited, selfish, loving, cynical, (and much, much, more), man that was Luke.
This Summer we will say goodbye to Luke Spencer, and we will have many GH favorites to help with the sad time. General Hospital spoilers have revealed that, along with Genie Francis, Jonathan Jackson will return this Summer to reprise his role as Lucky Spencer, Luke’s son, along with Lucky’s half brother, Ethan Lovett, played by Nathan Parsons. The two young men are set to tape their scenes at the end of June.
There is a new/old Quartermaine in town. None other than the son of Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), Dillon. Originally played by Scott Clifton, Dillon Quartermaine will now be played by Robert Palmer Watkins.
Back in the day, Dillon was involved in a whole slew of things around Port Charles… including the late Georgie Jones (Lindsey Letherman), and Lulu Spencer Falconeri (Emme Rylan). Dillon will have a lot of connections to catch up with when he is settled back into PC.
What is Dillon’s reason for returning to Port Charles? A Quartermaine always has an agenda.
Right now Michael (Chad Duell) has completely changed his life. He has a new last name, claims a new family, has custody of a baby, and may have a budding romance with his sister’s nanny, Sabrina (Teresa Castillo). Michael has a lot going on including running the Quartermaine family business, ELQ.
Could Michael’s world start to rapidly unravel? According to General Hospital rumors, soon, the residents of Port Charles should be finding out that baby Avery is not in fact Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) daughter, but the daughter of Ava (Maura West) and Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig). If this is true, Michael will almost inevitable lose custody, and instead of being a brother to Avery, he will then be an uncle. General Hospital rumors also speculate that Dillon is out for the family business. With Michael in charge of ELQ as of right now, Dillon just may be out to take it right from under Michael.
Do you think Michael should be careful around Dillon? Let us know why you think the character Dillon Quartermaine is returning to General Hospital, in the comments below.
There will be many GH comings and goings along with casting changes this Summer. We have already seen so many characters/actors come and go, and it will continue on through this Summer.
General Hospital spoilers revealed that a fan favorite will be gracing us with her presence this week. The always fabulous Ilene Kristen has announced via Twitter that she will be making a return to General Hospital. Although her presence will be merely a cameo on Friday May 29th, Ilene will make a splash with her involvement in the current GH story line. She will reprise her role as Delia. the mother of Ava Jerome, for two days. Her stint will being on Friday the 29th, and continue into a larger portion of Monday’s episode on June 1st.

Yesterday, General Hospital Blog shared a rumor that had been flying around, claiming that Michael Easton was leaving General Hospital. As it turns out, that rumor has become true.
