Is Duke Lavery Alive?

DukediesLast May, just shortly after Anna (Finola Hughes) and Duke danced at The Nurses Ball, little did they know it would be their last. Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) was killed by Carlos River (Jeffrey Vincent Parise) by the order of Julian Jerome (William DeVry). In turn, Duke’s death has caused a striking series of events from Anna acting out of character and shooting Carlos to avenge Duke’s death. Which also lead to the current story line involving DA Paul Hornsby (Richard Burgi), and now that Carlos has been revealed to be alive, this opens up an entirely new avenue for Anna in regard to making sure Carlos pays for what he has done.

However, General Hospital rumors have been swirling that Duke Lavery is actually alive. Duke has been a hot topic lately in Port Charles as Anna and DA Hornsby are up to their necks in involvement with Carlos Rivera and everything that’s been going on since Anna discovered he was alive.

Follow us on Instagram!

Since it turns out that Anna didn’t kill Carlos after all, even though she intended to do so because he killed her love, Duke, fans are beginning to think it is also possible that Duke is still alive.

Anna is in a bad place right now. She is stuck in the middle of DA Hornsby’s botched operation, she is withholding information from Jordan and has asked Jordan to give her a few weeks to get things straight, she is missing Robin, Emma, and Patrick, as well as Duke. This just might be a good time to give Anna some unexpected happiness by having Duke stroll back into her life.

What do you think, could Duke actually turn up alive? Is Paul Hornsby behind it all? Let us know your thoughts and comments! Share with your fellow GH fan friends!

GH Spoilers: A long Awaited Wedding is So Bittersweet

DrakefamilyThis week on General Hospital, spoilers reveal that a fan favorite couple will be tying the knot, again, and a loving family will finally be reunited.

Patrick and Robin Scorpio have gone through the hardest times since her death in the lab was faked, Jason was taken captive, and the Cassadines and Jerry Jacks help Robin prisoner, all while her family was led to believe she left them willingly. Since Robin’s alleged death and disappreance, Patrick almost married Sabrina, and then Sam. Patrick and Robin’s daughter Emma broke the heart’s of all the fans with her performance with Sam (Kelly Monaco) and then again with TV mom Robin (Kimberly McCullough) upon her return to Port Charles.

All Emma wanted was her mother, and now, that;s exactly what she is going to get. Patrick and Robin will be married this week, making all Emma’s dreams come true. For the fans though, our hearts will be warmed but soon heavy. As we know, Jason Thompson has left General Hospital, and taken a role on The Young and the Restless. Kimberly McCullough has had an on again- off again status with GH the past few years, which would not leave a stable home for TV daughter Brooklyn Silzer (Emma Drake) at GH.

After their wedding, we will soon say goodbye to the Scorpio-Drake trio that we have grown to love since Patrick Drake entered General Hospital an entire decade ago. The SCRUBS romance is one that will go down in history, and fans can only hope that some day,  as many have come and gone before, that Jason Thompson will return to the GH canvas and build another foundation for Robin and Emma.
