…If anyone walked up to Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) and struck up a conversation they’d probably get an earful about baby Ace. Motherhood and her new job at The Invader pretty much make up Esme’s current identity. Hopefully, everything about her past are long lost memories.
The point is that Esme is a different person now than she was before her jump from the Wyndemere parapet. No one would know how dark her past really is. Not even Esme. Currently, Esme’s doing all she can to live a normal life despite the crimes she’s been told she’s committed. But what if there’s something in Esme’s past that’s so dark, that if she allowed herself to remember, she’d never be the same.
Meanwhile, Heather Webber (Alley Mills) pops back on canvas. GH rumors hint that Heather rattles some cages as her daughter tries to keep her focus through the Cassadine chaos. Recently, Esme had an issue with Alexis publishing a story about her past, which could open the door to a much bigger picture.
According to the latest GH spoilers and rumors, Heather drops a bombshell on Esme. Does Heather know what Esme is so desperate to keep suppressed?

…By now most of the General Hospital audience is aware of the film industry’s current state of affairs. Since May, the WGA has been on strike. Contract negotiations between the WGA and the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producer) are at a standstill. As a result, the GH writing team strikes along with the entire WGA.
Basically, writers aren’t writing without an updated agreement with the AMPTP. It’s as simple as that. Additionally, the arts stick together as the actors support their writing team.
What does this mean for General Hospital, the writers, the actors, and even the fans? Well, the actors film scenes like rapid fire, knocking out multiple scenes/episodes. Early call times and late night dismissals are typical of a soap opera actor. Because of this, there’s an estimated 6 weeks or so of episodes filmed ahead of time. Previous GH spoilers and news reports confirmed that the strike began on May 2nd. During this time, the episodes were still written by GH’s official team. However, they’ve now run out of episodes, and the strike has not been settled.
Due to the ongoing negotiations, General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the GH writing team’s last aired episode. Last week, GH writer, Shannon Peace took to Instagram to make an announcement. Peace revealed that Thursday’s episode was the writing teams last until things are resolved.
GH’s Temporary Writing Team Steps In
According to General Hospital spoilers, there’s about to be some changes in Port Charles. GH writer Shannon Peace made a statement regarding the on-going negotiations and shed some light on the situation. She explained, “My episode that aired Thursday, July 20 was my final until the strike is over. Starting Tuesday, the writing team of GH will be watching alongside fans to see what happens… for the sake of the fans, I hope the show is in capable writing hands. But I have to also acknowledge the pain of knowing that characters we’ve developed, relationships we built and stories we planned are being handled by others. Still, my hope is that if you love GH, you’ll continue to watch. You can morally support the writers AND keep the show the air!”
In addition, Peace penned thoughtful insight and harsh reality regarding the situation. She added, “Daytime writers face a unique conflict during strikes. We hate to see our characters and storylines handed over to ‘writers’ who cross the picket line. But we are also keenly aware that stopping production could spell the demise of the soap operas. Hoping that the AMPTP does the right thing soon, not just for writers, but for the integrity of the storytelling.”
Episodes written by replacement writers begin on Tuesday, July 25th. Peace admits that these storylines may or may not follow the long story course that is provided by the Head Writers. Right now, the direction this is going is anyone’s guess.
We pray for these organizations to reach an understanding. So much is at stake as careers are in jeopardy. Moreover, these shows are so important to the fans. Please check back with General Hospital Blog for updates and developments regarding the WGA strike.

Wally Kurth reveals truth behind Ned’s MetroCourt pool plunge! It’s a strange time for a certain Port Charles family. Surely, a time reminiscent of 90s vibes and good times. Well, not everyone reflects on those times as good, but Eddie Maine sure does.
Speaking of Eddie Maine, General Hospital recaps revisit how the 1990s rock legend recently re-emerged. In an unfortunate accident, Ned took a spill at the MetroCourt pool, leaving his memory severely impaired. Allegedly, he no longer remembers his true identity. Only the portion of his life when he was a musician. Back in the 90s, Ned Ashton expressed himself as the edgy, Eddie Maine, becoming a huge rock star. Decades later, Eddie is back and ready to rock!
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the truth behind Ned’s fall. Ever since the he woke up from the fall, Ned hasn’t been himself. He’s been living as an alter ego since June, rehashing her rockstar persona. However, GH fans raise questions. Apparently, Ned only remembers himself as Eddie. This turn of events leaves fans frustrated, since hope of finally bailing Nina is on the back burner again.
According to GH previews, Ned had the dirt on Nina. He was headed to spill the tea to Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) when Ned’s MetroCourt pool plunge changed everything. When it comes to the fall, GH fans don’t know what to believe. Did the pool plunge cost Ned his family and become Nina’s get-out-of-jail-free card? Or is he faking? Wally Kurth has the answers.
According to GH news and spoilers, Wally revealed the truth behind Ned’s MetroCourt pool plunge. He admitted that Hollywood stunt double Anthony Molinari stepped in for the actual fall. Reportedly, Molinari has worked as a stunt double Hollywood big timers, George Clooney, Mark Ruffalo, and Matt Damon.
“He did it all in one take,” Kurth revealed. “He was really good. I did the towel trip and I did a forward fall onto a mat. And then when Anthony came out, he actually said the line, the same line that I had just said, and then he did the fall onto the deck and rolling into the pool, and then he laid there for a while, and then when you saw it pick up, it was me, obviously, laying in the water when they turned me over.
“It was really fun to get in the water with a suit on!” he added. “It was a nice, warm water. And I don’t get to do very many stunts, so I loved it! I loved having to take a fall onto a mat and all that stuff.”
Now that we know the behind-the-scenes, details of Ned’s fall, what we really want to know is if he’s faking amnesia or if he’s truly Eddie, Maine?
Leo turns Eddie into Ned again!?!? GH Shocker! Ned ends Eddie Maine charade?! …Say what you will about Mama Q., aka, Olivia Falconeri Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero), but she’s passionate about her family! Especially her children. Past and present, Olivia gets a bad rap for her emotional reactions to life’s hiccups. But no one worries more than an Italian mother. Ok, maybe an Italian mother from Bensonhurst! Undoubtedly, family comes first and she’ll do anything to protect her loved ones.
Currently, Olivia is losing her mind over Ned Ashton’s (Wally Kurth) run-in with 90s nostalgia. While the one who suffers most is Ned’s adoptive son, Leo (Easton Rocket Sweda). According to GH history, Ned legally adopted Leo after his biological father, Julian Jerome (William deVry) died. Unfortunately, mob violence took Leo’s father’s life when he was just a baby. However unfortunate, Leo was too young to remember losing his father. Sadly, that’s not the case this time. Poor Leo is old enough now to be emotionally impacted by this loss. Although Ned is there in the flesh, Eddie Maine isn’t exactly father material.
According to General Hospital spoilers, parenting just got a lot more difficult for Olivia. Not only does she suddenly have the responsibility of a single mom, she has to watch her son grieve for a man who is right there. Further, she does this while grieving for Ned herself! Ned’s identity crisis affects the entire family, especially their son Leo. Understandably, he’s acting out because he’s struggling with Eddie Maine replacing his father.
Meanwhile, GH spoilers and rumors tease that Olivia and Ned’s son might be the key to unlocking Ned’s emergence. If GH rumors are true, and Ned is truly faking, GH fans speculate Leo does a number on Eddie Maine. How can anyone knowingly hurt that sweet child? Exactly, they can’t. Or they’d have to be a total psychopath, and Ned is not.
Recent GH spoilers and rumors tease that Eddie won’t be pulling on his guitar strings when Leo pulls on Ned’s heart strings.
