First, I want to start off by asking that we all keep John J. York, aka our beloved Mac Scorpio in our prayers and healing thoughts. General Hospital’s John J. York has a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. His positive outlook and upbeat personality is a gift to himself as well as those who know and follow him. Additionally, York exhibits great strength as he shares with the world of his current medical condition.

Previously, GH Blog shared the news that John J. York, also known as GH’s Mac Scorpio, announced that he’d be taking a hiatus from the ABC daytime drama. Then, shortly after he gave fans something to think about, York returned to social media for the details. That’s when the iconic actor revealed that he was told he has 3-5 years to live. According to General Hospital news and spoilers, his diagnosis lead to a bone marrow search with Be A Match.

Fast forward and York has come forward with a health update. Reportedly, the stem cell transplant is a 100 day process. According to General Hospital news reports, York tells TV Insider the details of what he faces in the coming weeks. He shares, “The first week is an 8-day process of heavy-duty chemo, where I’ll probably lose my hair, and that’s OK,” he told the outlet. “And, you know, there’s just all kinds of issues. I could, I could pass away. I mean, maybe not from the chemo, but when the transplant starts. So after the eight days of these different chemo treatments that they’re doing, they’re basically wiping my body of what I’ve been living with in terms of my blood and DNA and all this stuff for my entire life. They’re wiping that clean and then they’re gonna put new stuff in me from the donor. And that’s going to be the new me.”

John J York Takes His Stem Cell Treatment One Day At A Time

Treatment takes place everyday unless the doctors see positive results from early on. He admits, “that would be wonderful. Then they may say, ‘You don’t have to come in tomorrow, come in the next day. And then we’ll test after that.’ That goes on for 100 days, and I would say the first probably 20 days [after the transplant] are the crucial days,” is what York told news outlet TV Insider.

The 22 year GH actor continued to describe his upcoming challenges with a positive and bright outlook. However, the long, demanding process can take its toll, but York displays the strength to stay the course. Unfortunately, the treatment doesn’t cease after the 100 days. Instead, he faces more testing. Those tests include biopsy and bone marrow aspiration. “I thought I was done doing bone marrow biopsies, but I still have like five bone marrow biopsies out there. Those are just not my favorite things in the world to do,” the actor admitted. For now, he’s taking things “one day at a time.”

General Hospital Blog continues to keep John J. York in our prayers as he faces these health challenges. His smiling face is enough to carry many through their bad days. Let’s shine our smiles on John to bright his too!

General Hospital Spoilers: Eddie Goes Off The Deep End, Olivia Calls Out For Eddie, Tracy Says “I Told You So,” And Lois Is Blamed!

GH Spoilers Tracy Lois Ned Olivia
GH Spoilers Tracy Lois Ned Olivia

Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) hasn’t been himself since his slip and fall accident at the Metro Court pool. In fact, he doesn’t remember his life as Ned. To top it off, he doesn’t really care. Well, he really until now.

Olivia Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero) can’t help but to worry. After all it’s in her nature. At first Olivia couldn’t accept that Ned was gone despite him standing there in the flesh. On the outside, Ned was a living, breathing, walking, talking version of the man Olivia married. But don’t make the same mistake as Olivia and assume that he’s the same man as he once was. Oh no, he’s not the man Olivia knows and loves. However, it didn’t take too long before she started to come around. GH recaps recall the day in the recording studio with Eddie Maine, Olivia, and little Leo (Easton Rocket Sweda). That’s when things began to change for Olivia, and she started to appreciate Eddie.

General Hospital spoilers tease that just as Liv was embracing the change, Eddie takes drastic measures to remember the past. There’s no doubt that Ned/Eddie’s conversation with his ex-wife, Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) influenced him and his curiosity. Thats when Eddie decided to search within himself for answers.

Is Lois To Blame?

Previously, Tracy warned Olivia about Lois. She flat out stated that Ned’s ex wife and Olivia’s best friend can’t be trusted. Although the reasons differ from her original thoughts, Tracy finds reason to blame Lois. Olivia wasn’t worried about Lois coming between her and Ned/Eddie in the aspect that Tracy implied. But, perhaps Tracy was right for another reason.

GH rumors tease that Tracy blames Lois for Ned’s deep dive into his psyche, because now he’s missing altogether! Recent GH previews show Olivia calls out for Eddie after he dives into the frigid waters. The water is so cold that Eddie’s family fears for his life. Is Eddie gone for good?

General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer and Laura Clash Over Esme, Laura Doesn’t Want To Hear It From Her Grandson

Spencer and Laura Clash Over Esme

Oh no! Now Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) is upset with his grandmother, Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis). I swear, this poor woman doesn’t catch a break! As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. When Laura isn’t being written the riot act for simply doing her best for others, she faces other challenges and suffers great loss.

Enough is enough. Spencer Cassadine has hit his grandmother’s limit when it comes to his incessant ridiculing of anyone and anything involving baby Ace. According to General Hospital spoilers, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) can’t wait to shout from the mountaintops! She’s got something to get off of her chest so she spills the tea. Apparently, Miss Independent Esme shares the good news about her future. After her talk with Laura, Esme’s ecstatic from the idea of taking hold of her own life. Moreover, she has Laura’s support this time around.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Spencer and Laura clash over Esme after he finds out about Esme’s plans. Although Ace is Spencer’s brother (for now), he has taken on the father figure role in Nikolas’s absence. Some fans think he’s taken things too far. And I must admit that I am one of them. However, everything happened for a reason and GH rumors claim there’s a reason Spencer feels so attached to Ace. Yes, they are “brothers,” but rumor has it that it’s more than that.

Obviously, Spencer is upset because he doesn’t want Esme and Ace to move out. As much as he says it’s because of Ace, how much of his feelings include Esme? Maybe more than we think.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: It’s Unanimous! SAG•AFTRA Reports Writer’s and Actor’s Strikes Are Over!

SAG AFTRA Reports Actor’s and Writer’s Strike Is Over
SAG AFTRA reports actor’s and writer’s strikes are over

It’s been about a half of a year since the WGA announced the industry’s eighth writer’s strike since the 1950s. In early May, the buzz around Hollywood and beyond had reached our living rooms. The average everyday viewer became concerned about what this all means for their favorite shows. Then, the actor’s followed suit! Leading to the Actor’s strike.

People started asking questions about the strike and the potential impact. The strike impacts writers and their corresponding applications. For instance, General Hospital and other network Soap Operas film differently than other genres. Daytime dramas are fast-paced and high energy. Therefore, their aggressive pace sets Soap Operas weeks ahead of airing. But even with the grace period, General Hospital’s writers material ran out and that’s when alternative writer’s stepped in.

SAG AFTRA Reports Writer’s and Actor’s Strikes Are Over

After 6 long months, General Hospital news reports confirmed that The Writer’s Strike is officially over. Finally, an agreement has been made between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The official SAG•AFTRA Instagram account announced that the picket locations are closed, and the strike is officially suspended as of 12:01am on November 9th.

Thankfully, the worst is over regarding the 6 month old strike. And we no longer need to worry about what might happen if ratings decline during this delicate time. Previously, GH Blog passed along early details of the strike. The information provided was to let us know the risks if the fans stop watching General Hospital. As only one of four Soap Operas left on television, as Days only airs on Peacock, it’s imperative that we keep ratings up to avoid cancellation.

Take a look at the messages shared by SAG•AFTRA as the organization spreads the good news. Finally, the worry is over. Now writer’s and fellow actors can return to work!

Adam takes Josslyn for a wild ride

Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Adam Wright (Joshua Benard) didn’t exactly make fast friends with each other. Instead, he offended and insulted the freshman college student. Let’s just say that Joss wasn’t too trilled when Adam approached her regarding the viral sex video. That said, it’s a wonder that these two are not study buddies, and even friends.

According to General Hospital rumors, Adam’s fixation with Dex’s girlfriend grows stronger. Right now Adam and Josslyn have spent a little time together, but not enough time to have really gotten to know each other. Although his behavior seems a bit suspicious, Josslyn has yet to catch on.

Reportedly, General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Joshua Benard and Eden McCoy prepare Adam for a front burner storyline. Joshua seems to be the perfect actor to portray Adam, who happens to have a dark side. In fact, he reminds me of someone, don’t you think? Hmm, who else has a good heart and a dark side?!

Maurice Benard’s son first appeared on General Hospital in November 12th, 2018, as a young Sonny who shot Joe Scully (1985).

Adam Takes Josslyn For A Wild Ride

Fast forward a few years and Joshua Benard returns to GH as his own character. Now, Joshua plays a complex role as Adam Wright sheds his skin and shows his vulnerabilities. General Hospital spoilers tease that Adam’s under a lot id pressure from his parents. His GPA is their number one priority. Because of this, Adam has already confided in Joss as they study hard as college freshmen.

While GH rumors tease that Dex warns Josslyn about Adam, new GH spoilers indicate that there’s a reason for the madness. It’s no secret that something is off with Adam. As it turns out, Joshua walks in his father Maurice’s footsteps as his role in General Hospital struggles with mental health. It’s yet to be confirmed whether Adam is bipolar, or possibly has borderline personality disorder. But according to recent reports, Adam will exhibit sort of a chameleon effect of behaviors toward the object of his affection- Josslyn Jacks.

GH spoilers warn, Josslyn better buckle up for this wild ride.
