GH Breaking News: Fan Favorite RETURNS to General Hospital

Lexi1There have been multiple breaking news stories regarding the cast and crew of General Hospital this past week. Some news disappointing, some see them as it being a good time for a change. However, this most recent GH breaking news is one that should make the majority of General Hospital fans extremely happy.

One of our personal favorites on General Hospital, spoilers have just revealed that actress, Lexi Ainsworth will be returning to General Hospital to reprise her role as Kristina Corinthos Davis. The daughter of Alexis and Sonny, sister of Sam Morgan and Molly, Kristina has been on and off the canvas for years.

Lexi Ainsworth joined the cast of General Hospital in 2009, and was replaced by Lindsey Morgan in 2012. It was rumored that the executives over at GH wanted a more mature looking young woman for the role. GH received a lot of backlash when Ainsworth exited the daytime drama, as fans were unhappy with her departure,

Soap Opera Digest has conformed the return of Lexi as Kristina and it has been said that she is expected to make her first air date in late August to early September.

General Hospital Blog is ecstatic to welcome Lexi back to General Hospital, as her performance as Kristina was absolutely STELLAR.

 

The Davis Girls are back! Help celebrate with us! Share this post and let your fellow GH friends know the good news!

 

Johnny Zacchara: The Prince of Darkness

Brandon Barash has returned to General Hospital and he is taking his character to a whole new level. In the past, Johnny Zacchara was called The Prince of Darkness, but honestly, he didn’t quite live up to that name. Compared to his (grand)father Anthony Zacchara (Bruce Weitz) and sister, Claudia, Johnny (Sarah Joy Brown) was a walk in the park. He always had a soft spot for the special ladies in his life. Kristina Corinthos (Lexi Ainsworth), although he used her to get a rise out of Sonny and make him vulnerable, he genuinely cared for the young girl. There was also Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero), Carly Corinthos Jacks (Laura Wright), and real life wife, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) to name a few. Johnny wasn’t as ruthless and calculating as the rest of the Zacchara clan. Then one day things changed, Johnny had turned into someone we hadn’t quite seen before. We always knew he wasn’t squeaky clean, but when he killed Anthony, his own father, it was obvious that Johnny had changed.

Johnny went to Pentonville and is currently serving time for his crimes. It doens’t seem like his punishment has had any positive effect on his conscience that’s for sure. If anything, being in Pentonville has hardened the once kind-hearted, son of a mobster. He has already encounterd his arch enemy Sonny Corinthos, as Sonny is in prison for the murder of AJ Quartermaine. Johnny introduced Sonny to the head of the Mexican cartel, and Heavy gave Sonny a taste of prison life. Johnny sat around and watched Sonny get the crap kicked out of him.

Johnny isn’t going to stop with just roughing Sonny up in the slammer. Johnny wants Sonny to take care of the crime in Port Charles, but on his orders. Johnny told Sonny that his brother Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) is alive, and that Johnny has Ric. He told Sonny that if he didn’t do what he wanted, he could have Ric cut up piece by piece. Johnny really has taken his role in the mob to a whole new level. Prison life has hardened him to the core. What will Sonny be facing in prison at the hands of his long time enemy, Johnny Zacchara?

GH Casting News Kristina Davis to be Played by Lindsey Morgan

Now that I have had time to process the casting news, I have been able to rationalize and although I am truly disappointed in the fact that Lexi Ainsworth will not be entertaining us as Kristina on GH, it is unfair to not give the new actress a chance. I will try to stay positive because I know supporting General Hospital is imperative to it’s survival. I will always be a GH fan and therefore I would rather have aspects of the show that I am unhappy with than not have the show at all. That being said, I hope all of us GH fans can find it in our hearts to accept the things we are not 100% behind for the sake of the show in it’s entirety. I want to thank @HaleyJean45 for helping me put things into perspective. We as fans all need to stick together no matter what decisions are made, even if that means our favorite couple calls it quits or our favorite character becomes something they never were. I wish the best of luck to Lexi Ainsworth in her future endeavors and to Lindsey Morgan on her new role as Kristina Davis Corinthos.

GH News: Lindsey Morgan Cast as New Kristina Davis Corinthos!

As a fan of Lexi Ainsworth and her portrayal on Kristina, I don’t really agree with Kristina needing to look older or more mature. This isn’t specific to Kristina either. I just don’t feel that a character needs to be changed simply to age them. However, Lindsey Morgan looks  a lot like Ainsworth, just older. I am worried she looks too close in age to Kelly Monaco (Sam). Sam is supposed to be Kristina’s older, wiser, more experienced sister and Lindsey Morgan (to play Kristina) looks more mature than Ainsworth which in my opinion may interfere with the fact that Sam is much older than her little sis. Grahn, Monaco, Ainsworth, and Pullos were perfect together and it’s always hard for me to get accustomed to change, but that’s just me. I do think that Ms. Morgan will end up pulling off a stellar Kristina just like other new actors have pulled off replacing other characters. It was hard for me when Tamara Braun left as Carly and Laura Wright eventually took over, and when Maxie was taken over by Jen. Needless to say these women took charge and made these roles their own and made me love them! Good luck to Lindsey Morgan, the GH and Kristina fans welcome her to the canvas.
