General Hospital News: Breaking! California Releases Guidelines For Filming Return, GH Shooting Soon!

ABC Network has come up with a plan to get their casts and crews back to work ASAP. However, that isn’t going to come easily. Many precautions and guidelines are being out into place so that individuals may return to they roles as soon as possible.

New Developments

General Hospital news and spoilers had previously revealed that production would not commence until at least August. However, at that time, that’s what was believed to be true due to the California Government’s strict social distancing and stay at home order.
General Hospital cast members such as James Patrick Stuart (Valentine Cassadine) and Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis), tweeted that they would not be back to work until at least August.
General Hospital news can now report that it’s highly possible filming will return sooner than anticipated.

A Plan Of Action

ABC Network is working with the union for actors, along with other filming studios to come up with a safe and cautious way to get people back to work. If California Governor, Gavin Newson, gives the OKAY to resume, the plan of action must start with hiring a Covid-19 Compliance Officer. The plan includes needing a doctor’s note if you are 65 years of age or older, hand washing stations, mask wearing requirements, and cast and crew will be required to carry around hand sanitizer, along with more guidelines.

When Will GH Resume Filming?

General Hospital Executives, along with TPTB over at ABC Network have ironed out what seems to be a solid plan of action to safely return to work. If California Governor, Gavin Newsom, gives the green light, GH could start back up production this month.
This is fantastic and hopeful news for the network, cast and crew, and fans alike. It will be great to see new episodes of General Hospital sooner than originally anticipated.

If you’re as excited as we are, share the news with all your GH fan friends!

Over the years, General Hospital has made history time and time again with its iconic storylines. Sadly, those creative and legendary stories won’t told for a while as we navigate through Covid-19. Although this won’t be forever, it is still difficult for the cast, crew, and fans alike to wrap our heads around the reality of it all. While we sit and wait for our world as we know it to go back to normal, we can reflect on the fond memories from our favorite Daytime Drama.

As fashion trends and TV show reboots from the 1990s have begun to resurface, one very memorable General Hospital storyline from the 1990s comes to mind. In the early 1990s I got sucked in and swept away. I started watching GH with my mom and sister and the story that was front and center revolved around Jason Quartermaine. Now, he goes by Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Jason, Jagger Cates (Antonio Sabato Jr.), and Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne) were stranded on an island and I was hooked!

Romance, drama, and adventure followed these three wherever they went, even on a deserted island! After being shipwrecked, they were stranded on a deserted island, making things very awkward for everyone involved since Jagger and Karen were a couple, Jason was annoyed, and the two men weren’t too keen on each other. This love triangle was secondary to that of Jagger, Karen, and Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), but developed as Jason Quartermaine was basically a third wheel when he, Jagger, and Karen were stuck on a deserted island.

Tension was always thick between Jason and Jagger. Of course, it was all over a girl. Karen Wexler was the girl they both had their eye on. So, in one climatic scene, Jagger walked up as Jason embraced Karen from behind. Naturally, Jagger was angry and jealous, but it wasn’t what it looked liked. Instead, Jason was comforting Karen after the attempted rape. Like always, Jason Morgan has been a savior to women. He is a natural protector, quick thinker, and a fighter for what’s right. Jason Quartermaine never lost that part of himself, even after the car accident with his brother AJ (Sean Kanan), leading him to change his name from Quartermaine to another family name, Morgan.

At some point, Jason and Jagger had to put their pride and differences aside. This was necessary in order to work together to survive. Jagger was the muscle, while Jason was both the brains of the operation. Additionally, it’s apparent that both Jason and Jagger are strong and resourceful. Karen was resourceful in her own right, but definitely played the role of damsel in distress very well.
