Is Victor Cassadine alive

Is Victor Cassadine alive?! …Ding dong the wicked- well, the witch died long ago, but likes to pop up in nightmares. In fact, Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) recently appeared in Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) hallucinations. Thus proves soap opera deaths don’t play by the rules. So, what makes the fans so sure of Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnesssy) death?

When we reflect back on General Hospital recaps, it surely seemed like Victor was as dead as can be.

However, a recent comment has GH fans questioning whether or not Victor will be back to reek havoc on Port Charles. Although his lifeless body was clearly shown, new developments raise speculation.

General Hospital Spoilers: Dex Makes A Choice, Josslyn Stands By Her Man- Will Joss And Dex Leave Together?

Joss and Dex leave Port Charles together

Joss and Dex leave together?! …Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) hired Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) as an informant. His mission was to get solid evidence against Michael’s own father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). With that, Michael planned to turn over the evidence, and secure Sonny’s future behind bars.

Somewhere along the way Dex fell for Michael’s sister, Sonny’s ex stepdaughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). At first, Joss and Dex’s relationship was a secret because of Michael and Sonny. Neither wanted Dex anywhere near Joss, but she and Dex are adults who couldn’t resist the chemistry between them.

Currently, their relationship is out in the open, and Sonny’s blessing was an added bonus. When he found out, he told Josslyn that her mother is the only one who has a true say in what she does. As for Dex, Sonny was disappointed he kept the secret. However, Dex has saved Sonny’s life so it’s almost as if Sonny gave him a free pass.

According to General Hospital spoilers, Dex makes a choices about his future. Now that Michael called off the mission Dex risked his life for, Dex faces two unsatisfying options. He must choose to stay working for Sonny legitimately, in hopes that he’ll never find out his initial intentions. Or, flee Port Charles, never to be seen by Sonny or anyone again- including Joss.

GH previews indicate Dex tells Joss he has to leave. Moreover, GH rumors hint that she’ll vow to stand by her man and leave along with him. Regarding any potential GH exits, no news has come to the surface about McCoy and Hofer’s General Hospital status. Therefore, General Hospital comings and goings reports show no signs of these two exiting the 60 year old daytime drama. Rest assured, we will keep y’all posted on any developments!

General Hospital Spoilers: Drew’s Revelation Points Sonny In Nina’s Direction

Drew leads Sonny to Nina Ned Sonny Drew Carly

Drew leads Sonny to Nina! …Almost all of us can say that we know what it feels like to be wrongfully accused. On the other hand, how many of us can admit that we’ve wrongfully accused someone while overlooking the real culprit? Surely, it’s not always easy to admit when we’ve made a big mistake, but even still, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) rises to the occasion.

There’s so much drama going on in Port Charles right now. As GH recaps recall, Drew returned to port Charles fresh from a rescue mission. And it wasn’t just any rescue, but an epic victory in many ways. By helping stop Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy), the rescue crew saved the world. Most importantly, the rescue also brought Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) home so that she can help save Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) life. As if Willow’s situation wasn’t enough to keep her family’s focus, an unfortunate situation weighs on her loved ones. Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) and Drew Cain are under investigation for insider trading.

Drew Leads Sonny to Nina

According to General Hospital spoilers, Drew has a revelation. Despite the fact that he laid into Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth) and accused him of turning him and Carly in, Drew stops to think about things. General Hospital previews and spoilers indicate that things don’t quite add up when trying to justify putting the blame on Ned. First of all, the timing was way off. Ned is a cutthroat business man, but he also values family. It’s unlikely that he’d turn in the mother of the groom. Even Ned’s ELQ dedication wouldn’t drive him to spoiler Michael’s (Chad Duell) wedding to his dying fiancé. Secondly, Drew wasn’t even in town when the sh!t hit the fan. The latest GH spoilers and rumors tease that Drew stops and thinks about the situation at hand and how Ned’s involvement makes no sense. As Nina Reeves (Xynthia Watros) continues to weasel her way into Willow’s life, she still holds onto her secret. But according to GH rumors, Drew’s suspicions lead Sonny to Nina!

Will Sonny be the one to figure out Nina turned Carly and Drew into the SEC?!

Taggert warns Portia to stay out of it when it comes to Trina and Spencer! …Although Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews) and Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) split up long ago, they are both very involved parents. They’ve each remained heavily involved in their daughter Trina Robinson’s (Tabyana Ali) life. Simply put, they want the best for their daughter, and continue to worry about the choices she makes.

Over in Greenland, Trina and Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) have a happy reunion. Meanwhile, back home in Port Charles, Trina’s mother awaits her own reunion with Trina. Recent General Hospital recaps recall the sensitive nature of Portia and Trina’s current relationship. After having betrayed her family, Portia’s lies brought forth consequences. Prior to the tragic events on the Haunted Star, relationship with Trina showed signs of strain.

According to General Hospital news reports, Réal Andrews returns to GH as Trina’s father, Marcus Taggert. Despite Portia’s paternity drama, Taggert raised Trina and will always be her father. Although it’s possible that Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) is Trina’s biological father, that won’t stop Taggert from fulfilling his fatherly duties. Thankfully, both Taggert and Curtis love Trina and will do anything to keep her safe.

General Hospital spoilers and previews tease that Portia and Trina’s reunion is filled with gratitude for her safe return. However, GH rumors say that their relationship is still on thin ice.

In addition, he reminds Portia that putting the blame on Spencer isn’t a great idea. If she wants to keep Trina close, telling her adult daughter who she can and cannot see isn’t going to fly with this obviously capable and independent young woman. Will Portia take Taggert’s advice? Or will she push her limits with Trina during this rocky period in their relationship?

General Hospital News And Spoilers: The Writers Guild Officially Strikes- Here’s How The Writers Strike Affects General Hospital

How the writer’s strike affects General Hospital

The Writer’s Guild On Strike

According to General Hospital news and spoilers, the cast and crew of GH will be affected by the strike in the comings weeks. Daytime Television’s fast-paced film schedule gives the ABC soap opera some time. Allegedly, the episodes are filmed about 4-6 weeks ahead. Therefore, there’s about a month and a half of fresh episodes left. Unfortunately, if this doesn’t get resolved quickly, alternative writer’s step in and develop the storyline from that point on.

Here’s How The Writer’s Strike Affects General Hospital

WGA writer, Shannon Peace explains the complexity of the situation that when it comes to Soap Operas. “Daytime writers face a unique conflict during strikes,” Peace wrote. “We hate to see our characters and storylines handed over to ‘writers’ who cross the picket line. But we’re also keenly aware that stopping production could spell the demise of soap operas. Hoping the AMPTP does the right thing soon — not just for writers, but for the integrity of storytelling.”

As a result, it’s only a matter of time before the shows we love cease to air new episodes. First, late night shows such as SNL are hit first. Next, the fast paced nature of filming soaps allows for about a month of new shows before storylines are left hanging. Unfortunately, this news comes soon after ABC’s General Hospital celebrated its 60th anniversary. However, we won’t let this stops us or turn our backs on our show. We hope and pray a resolution is reached very soon and GH returns for another 60+ years.
