A couple months back when Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) came back to Port Charles, the idea that Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) was not actually a Cassadine. That got thrown around in an argument, claiming Valentin was an illegitimate child of Helena’s, (Constance Towers), and not a true Cassadine blood.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is planning to find out if Valentin is match. In the latest General Hospital promo, Alexis tells Nikolas, “If I am not a match to Valentin, he is not a Cassadine. Odds are that Alexis managed to get a hold of something that would have Valentin’s DNA on is having it tested at the lab. She wants to know once and for all if this problem will just go away, or if he is a Cassadine and here to stay.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Valentin loses it and goes crazy with a gun, shots are fired, and chaos ensues. Could this be the result of finding out his true biology? Will Valentin live in denial and continue on as a Cassadine?
Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) have teamed up against Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) to ensure Valentin never gets his hands on the codicil. Nikolas wants what is rightfully his and Ava wants a piece of the pie. The two are said to be married for business dealings only.
This week in General Hospital spoilers, it was revealed in an episode earlier this week that Nikolas has something else up his sleeve. He told Ava that although they are only married for business, and they both claim they are not interested in sleeping with one another, Nik wants a faithful wife. Nikolas proposed a deal to Ava, stating that if she cheats on him it will make him look weak, and if she does cheat, she gets nothing from the fortune. In turn, if Nikolas cheats, Ava will get 90% and 1-% will go to Nikolas’ son Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel).
General Hospital spoilers hint that his is just another way of Nikolas making damn sure Ava won’t get her hands on his fortune. General Hospital rumors suggest Nikolas will even go as far as hiring someone to try and seduce Ava, causing her to break their agreement, and lose all of the fortune to Nikolas. Will Ava take the bait? She has never been one to be able to control her desires when it comes to men, even betraying her own daughter, Kiki, (Hailey Erin) in the process. Odds are Ava doesn’t stand a chance. But you never know, Ava could be one step ahead of Nikolas’ game.
Which is more evil, Cassadine blood or a woman married into the miserable family? The latest General Hospital spoilers had revealed Valentine Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) is not a Cassadine after all. According to Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma), Valentine is merely the son of Helena (Constance Towers) out of wedlock and is actually not of Cassadine blood.
Lately General Hospital rumors have been flying, making claims that Valentine is not Charlotte’s (Scarlett Fernandez) father. However, lately that couldn’t seem further from the truth. Earlier this week GH views saw a different side of little Charlotte. She was cutting up a picture of Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson), the young woman left to blame for ultimately breaking up Charlotte’s Papa and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). Charlotte’s mom Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) walked in and asked what she was doing. Charlotte was quick to blame Nina for the mess without batting an eye.
General Hospital spoilers have been making claims that this new behavior for Charlotte is a way of letting the GH viewers know if Charlotte takes after her Grandmother, Helena or if she is behaving like a true Cassadine. Some may say Charlotte’s behavior was on the brink of evil, maybe not quite evil, but most definitely calculated. Will Nikolas’ claims about Valentine be true? Perhaps he and Charlotte are not Cassadine blood after all?
The speculations around Nikolas Cassadine’s (Marcus Coloma) on screen son, Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) can now rest as new General Hospital spoilers have confirmed the news that Bechtel will be returning to General Hospital as Spencer. Spencer was sent off to boarding school in order to be safer from Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and the character last aired on screen this past early Spring. He is set to return the week of January 20th, however the specific date remains unknown.
When Nikolas first was shot and “killed” by Valentin, Spencer seemed to be taking the news in a strange way. He would even mention that he has heard from his father even after everyone was told Nikolas had died. Now that Nikolas has resurfaced and has shown himself to close family and friends, some were angry he could let them believe he was dead for over 3 years. Nikolas’ Mother Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) was particularly angry that her son could let his own son think he is now left without a Father and how Nikolas could miss 3 precious years of Spencer’s life.
General Hospital spoilers have hinted that Laura is most likely wrong about how Nikolas went about things when it comes to Spencer. Will we find out that Spencer has known his Dad was alive the entire time? It’s quite possible the two even had regular visits with one another.
Make sure to watch GH the week of January 20th to see Nicolas Bechtel return to GH as Spencer Cassadine and watch the story line unfold.
The town of Port Charles has had one big bombshell dropped after another. The latest comes with some major twist. Not only did the shock of Nikolas’ (Marcus Coloma) return from the dead stir things up at Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Valentin’s (James Patrick Stuart) wedding, but shortly after Nik came face to face with those who thought he was dead, a few big bombs were dropped. Nikolas revealed to Valentin and to everyone in attendance that Valentin is not actually a Cassadine and that he is merely Helena’s (Constance Towers) son, with no Cassadine blood.
The revelations and confessions didn’t end there. Nikolas’ Mother Laura (Genie Francis) wasn’t too pleased to learn that her son who has just returned from the dead will be getting married to Ava Jerome (Maura West). It’s obvious this isn’t a marriage of love although Nikolas and Ava did have a brief romance before he was shot by Valentin. Some may think the fact that Nikolas saved Ava from the cold water after Valentin pushed her in would be a sign of love. However, it’s more likely that Nikolas was saving Ava because she is his only way of getting his hands on the Cassadine codicil. Their upcoming nuptials have more to do with a business transaction than real love. General Hospital spoilers hint Ava is in control, and this marriage set up is a way to hold the codicil over Nikolas’ head in order for her to get her piece of the pie, and ultimately revenge on Valentin for what he did to her regarding her face.
Things may not be exactly what they seem, especially for Ava Jerome. She thinks she is in control because the codicil has been in her possession. But is Nikolas actually the one in control? General Hospital spoilers indicate that Nik will be the one pulling one over on Ava. It’s highly possible that he is still legally married to Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig), and if you’re already legally married to someone, marrying another would not be official. Odds are Ava will be led to believe (by Nikolas) that they are actually married all while he knows darn well he cannot marry another while still legally bound to Hayden.
Will Ava’s plan to get her hands on some of the Cassadine fortune backfire, or will Nikolas and Ava be the next big romance on GH?
Nina has been to Hell and back between betrayals from her own Mother, Madeline Reeves (Donna Mills), her love Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and the young women, Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) who led Nina to believe she was her daughter.
Nina has had enough and she continues with her plan to trick Valentin into thinking they will get married. Although she does love him and is having difficulty with the whole situation, second guessing her decision to expose and end things for good with Valentin, Nina will most likely not actually marry Valentin. Nina has a little something up her sleeve to prove Valentin was lying the entire time about Sasha. She is running another DNA test to prove Valentin used Madeline’s hair strands as a sample to achieve the falsified Mother-Daughter DNA results. General Hospital spoilers reveal Nina will get confirmation on what she already knows about Valentin.
The chaos at the wedding will not be limited to Nina and Valentin’s situation. As Nina goes back and forth with her feelings, Jax (Ingo Rademacher) hopes Nina will not stoop to this level and make a public scene, a sudden distraction faces the crowd. General Hospital spoilers reveal Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) will be exposed in front of the majority of Port Charles, at Nina and Valentin’s wedding.
There is much excitement ahead for General Hospital this coming week of December 16th. General Hospital spoilers hint things are heating up and story lines are about to hit maximum drama.
Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) have a newfound friendship based on a mutual goal to take down Valentine Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Nina and Ava are working together to keep Valentin away from the codicil which includes the rights to the Cassadine fortune. Ava has Helena Cassadine’s (Constance Towers) painting in her gallery which is exactly where the codicil has been hiding. Curtis (Donnell Turner) falls witness to Nina and Ava toasting to their friendship, which ultimately makes Curtis very suspicious.
GH spoilers hint there is a possibility Ava has something up her sleeve. It’s been rumored that Ava will take the codicil and sell the painting without the goods inside, pulling the wool over Valentin and Nikolas'(Marcus Coloma) eyes.
Last week, the name Claudette was dropped quite a few times, possibly hinting toward a story involving Claudette (Bree Williamson), Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan), Valentine Cassadine, and Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez). Claudette was the surrogate mother Valentin chose to carry Lulu Spencer’s biological child. It was revealed the child, Charlotte, was Lulu and Valentin’s. However, recent General Hospital rumors have been circulating, claiming Claudette may be making a return to Port Charles to disclose shocking information. GH fans have been speculating, hinting that Valentin is not Charlotte’s biological father.
Nina Reeves has been on an emotional roller coaster when it comes to her long lost daughter. The latest let down involving Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson), Nina Reeves, and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) has left Nina broken hearted- hopefully for the last time. Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) delivered the horribly shocking truth to Nina on her wedding day and at that time took a verbal beating from an emotionally distraught Nina. Now that the storm has settled, Nina’s focus is on revenge- as she knows her fiance Valentine Cassadine was behind this deception, putting Sasha up to the scheme.
They say you find what is lost when you aren’t really looking, and what you’ve been looking for a lot of times is right there in plain sight. General Hospital spoilers tease that just may be the case in Port Charles as Nina will find what she has been looking for when she least expects it. Private Investigator and friend of Nina, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) has been on the case in the search for Nina’s daughter but now that Nina isn’t solely focused on finding her daughter, odds are who she is looking for is right there in front of her.
There is a key element to this story that has yet to be introduced. General Hospital spoilers reveal there is a necklace- a heart shaped pendant in which two different people possess one half of the pendant. Nina has one half and her daughter has the other. In coming weeks, Nina will spot the other half of the necklace in Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) possession. Due to all that Nina has been through, the ups and downs, the hope and hope lost, Nina will be beside herself trying to sort out her emotions. When she believed Sasha Gilmore was her biological daughter, Nina knew that her true daughter should have the other half of the necklace, but chalked it’s absence up to loss due to circumstance. Nina will be in disbelief when she sees Willow with the other half of the pendant, and part of her will try and come up with other reasons as to why Willow would have this pendant.
How far will Nina go to find out the truth? GH rumors tease of yet another DNA test without consent. Will this be the end of this life long search for Nina and her biological daughter?
Rebecca says goodbye to her fellow cast and GH fans
Earlier this month, General Hospital news reported the exit of long time Daytime TV star Rebecca Budig in her role as GH’s Hayden Barnes. On Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital, Hayden left Port Charles while leaving her daughter Violet behind. It was an emotional goodbye between Hayden and those she cares for and visa versa but she really doesn’t have a choice. With everything that has been going on with Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), Hayden is being threatened and staying in Port Charles just isn’t safe at this time. Hayden just introduced Violet to her father, Dr. Finn and his fiance Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), and although it’s breaking her heart to leave Violet, it’s best she stays behind with her dad. It’s a tough scenario on and off screen for the characters and actors alike. This is the second time Budig has exited from General Hospital. The door has been left open for her return, we can hold on to that and hope she returns sooner rather than later.
Ever since Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) arrived in Port Charles, she has been haunted by the loss of her baby daughter she was told never made it. As GH viewers know the history, and that Nina’s daughter is actually alive and well out in this universe, it’s difficult for many fans to let go of hope that there is a daughter out there somewhere for Nina.
Nina’s most recent heartbreak involves Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson), the young woman who was put up by Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) to pretend to be Nina’s daughter. When the truth came out and the bombshell was dropped on Nina’s wedding day, Nina was beyond devastated and of course, lashed out at Sasha. As of now, Nina is leading on that she has no clue Valentin was involved with this huge lie that turned Nina’s life and emotions upside down.
General Hospital rumors have played around with the idea Nina knows what Valentin has done, and for now she is playing dumb. However, that is still uncertain.
At this point, Nina is sick and tired of the tug of war on her heart after losing a child and then thinking Sasha is her long lost daughter, only to lose yet again. Good news! There may be hope for Nina and her daughter reuniting! In an interview with Soaps In Depth, actress Katelyn MacMullen had something interesting to say about her character Willow Tait possibly being Nina’s daughter. In reply to the possibility that Willow could be Nina’s daughter, MacMullen said, “That would be insane. It would be a huge twist… except people are expecting it, right? Because why do Willow and Nina hate each other so much? It’s be cool!”
There are so many possibilities for this story line and it seems the actress would be excited to dive into this direction as Nina’s daughter. Katelyn MacMullen even agrees that having her character Willow and Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) become sisters on screen would be “best case scenarios,” and says that she and Sofia want a story line together!
Setting Willow Tait to be Nina’s daughter is a viable option but has not yet been confirmed. If the writers take note as to where Willow’s portrayer, MacMullen would like to see this character head, there is a great possibility this could be the path they choose.
What do you think? Is enough enough? Should the writers leave poor Nina’s character alone with it comes to finding her daughter? Or should she be written to finally have that happy reunion?
