GH Summer! See Which Fan Favorites Will Return for Luke’s Farewell

This Summer is going to be BIG for the people of Port Charles. General Hospital is losing a legend, and the residents of Port Chuck are losing a father, grandfather, a husband (sort of), a friend, an enemy, and much, much more. Things will never be the same in this fictional small town once Anthony Geary retires and takes Luke Spencer far away from his family and friends. Geary has given General Hospital 37 wonderful years and he is deserves a send off to go down in history.

General Hospital executives have already started leaking the names of GH fan favorites that will be returning to Port Charles as part of Luke’s farewell story. General Hospital spoilers have confirmed that Genie Francis and Emma Samms will be arriving in PC as Laura Spencer and Holly Sutton this Summer. GH rumors have leaned toward the return of Luke’s two sons, Nathan Parsons as Ethan Lovett, and Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer, yet there hasn’t been official word of this GH casting news.

Word is that there will be more GH fan favorites making their way back to General Hospital this Summer to say goodbye to Luke Spencer. Luke’s long time friend Robert Scorpio played by Tristan Rogers has been rumored to be on his way back. Although he is currently on Y&R, it has been known for Rogers to make cameo appearances on GH during his work on The Young and the Restless.

Who else should make a come back to General Hospital for this Summer’s big event? Let us know who is important and essential in saying goodbye to the legendary Luke Spencer.

General Hospital Spoilers: Jonathan Jackson (Lucky) and Nathan Parsons (Ethan) Return to General Hospital

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.

General Hospital Spoilers: Laura Returns to PC, Will Nik Lie to His Mother?

Nikolas Cassadaine is mostly known as being a Cassadine. Although we are all well aware that he is equally a Vining/Webber, as he is the son of Laura Spencer. We tend to forget sometimes, due to the fact that Laura has been off the canvas for so long, that Nikolas isn’t only made up of Cassadine blood, especially lately. Nikolas Cassadine has always been the outast, along with his aunt, Natasha, or, Alexis Davis. The two non-Cassadine-like Cassadines carry the family name but they typically do not act the part. As of recent behavior, Nik is really starting to live up to his title, Prince of Darkness. In the past few months Nik has engaged in some questionable activity and unthinkable behavior. The Nikolas Cassadine, son of Laura Spencer would never even come close to doing the things Nikolas is responsible for. He was always a good man, with a good heart, looking out for his family and friends, the love of his life, Emily, and setting an example for his sister, Lulu.
Laura Spencer is back in town, and with his mother in close vicinity, will Nikolas be able to hide what he has done? Nikolas has tampered with votes to an election, he has lied about the identity of a man that is close to many people he loves, and the worst yet, he has hired a hit man to off a woman just to keep his secrets from getting out.

The General Hospital spoiler photo above, from Entertainment Weekly, shows Laura and her son Nikolas in what looks to be a deep conversation. Is Nikolas ready to come clean for all the wrong he has done in the recent past, or will he lie to his own mother just to keep his good reputation?

What role will Laura play in how Nikolas handles the net series of events? Do you think that some good motherly advice could sway this dark Prince back into the light?

I know that I have definitely daydreamed about what it would be like to play on a show. Not only because and have that second “work family” that so many cherish.

Personally, I’ve observed that work environments can either make or break the entire vibe. Not only the company dynamic but the feoenlsihews and
.

can either make or break an experience while working for a particular company/employer. It seems only natural that friendships are born and developed while working in close quarters. Even still, the mere presence of together with those having similar . working together for such a long period of time would lead to the development of a truly real friendship. That is exactly the case with General Hospital beauties Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) and Kelly Monaco (Sam Morgan). The two petite starlets have been friends for quite a long time. True friendship, which includes Kelly Monaco thanking Kirsten’s mom for making her a hand crocheted scarf. These two ladies are inseparable and last night, Kirsten tweeted a photo of herself with bestie, Kelly Monaco.
Check out Kirsten’s description in her tweet.
Love these two! Check out Genie Francis in the background! Photobomb!

My ride or die. She knows me like no other friend does. I love you href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/daytimeemmys?src=hash”>#daytimeemmys… https://t.co/8MJoxPAzcL

Will Luke Save His Daughter Lulu Before Stavros Has His Way?

The Spencer/Cassadine war has been ongoing for decades. The Cassadines have a sick obsession with Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) and his family and just won’t leave them alone. No matter how many times Luke is victorious in bring down a member of the Cassadine Clan, they always seem to resurface.

Last year, when Stavros kidnapped Lulu (Emme Rylan), he had plans for the two to be married and start a family. Well all his plans were foiled when Lulu was rescued by her family. Nothing would stop Luke, Laura (Genie Francis), and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) from coming to her aid and saving her from the crazed Cassadine. The battle wasn’t easy, and nothing is ever final when it comes to the Cassadines, especially Helena (Constance Towers) and Stavros (Robert Kelker-Kelly). Although they were “killed” a Cassadine never really dies. Stavros’ body was frozen and now brought back to life by Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis). Victor couldn’t do it alone, however. Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough) was forced to help Victor bring Stavros back from the dead in exchange for being able to help her best friend, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton/Billy Miller) at the same time. Of course Victor didn’t live up to his end of the bargain entirely. He only wanted Jason to be used as their medical miracle guinea pig, and never really expected he would be able to go home to his wife, Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) and son Danny.

Luke has been kidnapped, drugged, and help captive at a facility called Miscavige, the place where Heather Webber spent some time in the psych ward. Whoever kidnapped Luke, stole his identity, his face, his life. It has been several months since the real Luke Spencer has been absent from the lives of his loved ones, while the impostor Luke would walk around the town of Port Charles making everyone believe that he was the same old Luke. People are starting to catch on to Luke’s odd behavior. Little Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Bechtel) already overheard Luke threatening his uncle Sonny (Maurice Benard), Ava Jerome (Maura West) has seen Luke as her ‘boss’ but knows it isn’t really him… Julian (William DeVry) knows that the fake Luke is actually someone he was in the WPP with a while back. After Tracy (Jane Elliot) has been trying to get in touch with Luke over the disappearance of his daughter Lulu, she starts to sniff out the fishy situation. She knows that Luke would never ignore the fact that Lulu was in danger.

Will Luke be rescued or break free on his own in time to save Lulu from Cassadine control? Stavros has BIG plans for Lulu Spencer Falconeri and Luke may be the only one who can save her. Come October, we will know who the fake Luke really is… perhaps he will be revealed just in time, before Stavros does the unthinkable to Lulu.

Stavros Cassadine Has BIG Plans for Lulu Spencer

The look on Lulu’s (Emme Rylan) face when that door swung open was nothing less than a look of terror. Stavros Cassadine (Robert Kelker-Kelly) is completely unhinged and was obsessed with Lulu’s mother, Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) for years. More recently, Stavros became fascinated by Lulu and even went to the lengths of kidnapping her, brainwashing her, in hopes that they would marry. The dynamic duo that is Luke (Tony Geary) and Laura Spencer (Lulu’s parents), along with her husband Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), came to her rescue. For some time, Lulu was confused and did not remember being married to Dante. Eventually she came around and was able to overcome the traumatic events that took place when kept prisoner by Stavros Cassadine.

The Spencer/Falconeri clans thought they were rid of Stavros after he was killed in Lulu’s rescue… but of course, a real Cassadine is never really dead. Stavros’ body was frozen and was recently brought back to life by Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis), with the help of Dr. Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough).

Now that Stavros has returned, and he already has Lulu in his grasp, he reveals his big plans that he has for the two of them. Stavros is still sickly infatuated with Lulu. He proclaimed obsession and told her that the two of them will be married and start a family. He must know what has been going on in their lives recently with their struggle to conceive a child. Stavros insulted Dante by calling him impotent, and referred to the fact that he and Lulu are struggling with pregnancy.

How will Stavros try and make Lulu have his child? We all know she would never comply. If Dr. Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) is on Victor’s side, or even if she is forced to help Victor because she has been keeping their son, Nathan (Ryan Paevey) a secret from him, it is possible that Stavros could use one of Dante and Lulu’s embryos. It is almost certain that NO GH FAN wants to see a Stavros and Lulu baby! Robert Kelker-Kelly does a fantastic job of portraying this ultra creepy, completely eccentric, man who is obviously disturbed. The Cassadine/Spencer war lives on with these brilliant actors. Stavros wants his Ice Princess and he may just be able to get it…

A New Lucky Spencer Could Be on His Way to PC

Lucky Spencer is the son of legendary lovers Lucas Lorenzo (Luke) Spencer (Tony Geary) and the beautiful Laura Spencer (Genie Francis). He is the half brother of Prince Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) and the ex-husband of the lovely Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), among many other connections in Port Charles.

Lucky left Port Charles after being betrayed and hurt by the love of his life, Elizabeth and his own brother, Nikolas. Liz and Nik were best friends for many years. In more recent years, after being on and off again with Liz’s great love Lucky, and Nikolas losing his true love and Liz’s best friend Emily, Nik and Liz grew to be more than friends. There relationship became romantic and was a steamy love affair. Lucky’s heart belonged to Elizabeth at the time and Liz was torn between the two brothers. When Lucky found out that he had been betrayed by the two people he cared for most, he ultimately ended up leaving town.

Since actor and portrayer of Lucky Spencer, Jonathan Jackson is now on ABC’s hit series, Nashville, it doesn’t look like we will be seeing him reprise his role as Lucky any time soon.

There have been recent rumors circulating regarding Lucky returning to GH and who will be playing him. It seems like General Hospital has been getting a few stars from NBC’s The Young and the Restless, such as Michelle Stafford (Nina Clay) and possibly Billy Miller who has been reported to play the new Jason Morgan this August. The most current news regarding a new Lucky is that Y&R star Michael Muhney will be cast to play General Hospital’s Lucky Spencer. Recently, he and actor Rick Hearts (Ric Lansing) have been quite friendly with their twitter exchanges. There is a possibility that the two have gotten to know one another taping on the set of GH. With Michael Muhney’s recent departure from Y&R, it is likely that this rumor will come true in the near future.

General Hospital Blog will keep fans posted on any concrete news from executives that confirm this casting rumor. In the mean time, hang tight and keep watching GH!
