General Hospital News: Kimberly McCullough Opens Up About Returning To GH And Body Image

Kimberly McCullough gets real and vulnerable as she opens up about returning to General Hospital as the role she originated back in 1985, little Robin Scorpio. McCullough made her debut on the Daytime Drama when she was just 7 years old. She played alongside the names in Daytime, such as, Finola Hughes who plays her mother, Anna Devane, Tristan Rogers who plays her father, Robert Scorpio, and John J, York, aka Uncle Mac, who raised Robin, just to name a few.

In recent years, McCullough has been on and off the set GH after her character Robin, husband Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson), and their daughter Emma Drake (Brooklyn Silzer), moved to California. Robin and Emma have been back to visit Anna a few times here and there, but McCullough has not played a large role on GH since her character moved away for work. Kimberly has been working on Directing, pulling most of her focus on being a Director rather thank actor. McCullough has directed many productions, some including, Pretty Little Liars, K.C. Undercover, Shake It Up, and more.

In previous General Hospital news and spoilers, McCullough had posted on Instagram, mentioning she had retired as an actor. Currently, McCullough tells Soaps In Depth she is open to bringing Robin back to Port Charles. She went on about how hectic her current work schedule is, and with having an almost 2 year old son, she really wants to spend her time off from directing at home. However, she does proceed to say, “No, I don’t think it;s the last you’ll see if me, but you know, I also don’t look like an actor anymore. I’ve gained weight and I’m fine with that. For me to maintain that level of fitness, it’s like being an athlete. You have to maintain it. It takes money, time, effort, and focus- and I’m focused on other things. I’m focused on my brain. I’m focused on being a mother, and on growing in other ways. And honestly, I just don’t have the time to do that right now.”

General Hospital spoilers reveal McCullough is working on her next project, Directing for the Disney Channel Original, High School Musical: The Series.

General Hospital Spoilers: Jordan In Over Her Head, Is It Time For A New Commissioner?

Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) is about to walk into a storm she never saw coming. She was blindsided by Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) arrival in Port Charles prison, Pentonville. Renault managed to get transferred to Port Charles, purposely placing himself in the city Jordan has vowed to keep safe as Commissioner. Jordan’s son TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) is now missing and Jordan seems too chill for being a mother with a missing child. Not until see went to she Cyrus at Pentonville did she put the clues together as he was spelling them out for her.

It seems as though Jordan is dropping the ball on a lot of situations going on in Port Charles, letting either the bad guys win, or the bad guys solve the crimes. Either way you slice it, Jordan just ain’t cutting it as Commissioner of Port Charles. This city needs someone like Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis), Curtis’ with his law enforcement background, or even Mac Scorpio (John J. York) who has been in the Commissioner role before, to deliver quick thinking and effective solutions to situations that arise.

General Hospital spoilers suggest Jordan Ashford may be on her way out as Commissioner of Port Charles. Today, Mayor Laura Collins had to confront Jordan and basically tell her how to approach her current with Cyrus. Jordan’s husband Curtis (Donnell Turner) approached her with the notion of joining forces with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) in order to tackle this threat head on but she was dead against it. General Hospital rumors claim that is exactly Jordan will end up having to do. Will she be able to get her act together and help her city before Cyrus burns it to the ground and she ultimately pays the price with her job?

General Hospital Spoilers: Cyrus Has Partners Over Seas, Is Someone Trying To Avenge The Balkan? Is Dev Aware?

The mob situation is becoming intense in Port Charles as Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) go head to head with mobster, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).

Sonny paid Cyrus a visit in Pentonville, they both went back and forth warning one another about the next move. Sonny intercepted a huge shipment that belong to Cyrus. Cyrus asked Sonny what his plan was for the shipment, Sonny warned him not to worry about it. Then, Jason Morgan blew up the entire shipment. If Cyrus wasn’t already out for blood, he most definitely is now. Cyrus warned Sonny to quit while he was ahead, and mentioned his partners over seas.

This brings us back to a few months ago when General Hospital spoilers indicated Jason’s instincts were right regarding Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab). General Hospital spoilers previously tied Dev to The Balkan/Theo Offman (Daniel Benzali). Since the writers put Dev’s Turkish decent up front and center quite a few times, it seems as though it was a hint toward what’s ahead. General Hospital rumors started, making claims that Dev is actually the grandson of The Balkan, and is in Port Charles to get revenge on Sonny and his family. Sonny’s son Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) was the one who killed Dev’s alleged father, Aleksander Janacek (Antonie Knoppers). Dev’s mother is rumored to be the one and only, Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil). Jason tried to make Sonny more cautious with Dev and Sonny assured Jason everything was fine. Jason’s instincts are usually on point. If so, there would end p being an ulterior motive for Dev to be in Port Charles. The question is, is Dev aware of the situation regarding The Balkan and his own Father and their connection to the Corinthos family?

Marcus Taggert (Real Andrews) warned Mac Scorpio (John York) to be careful as something doesn’t feel right regarding this mob war involving Sonny and Cyrus. Taggert has a hunch that it’s bigger than it appears. Someone is pulling the strings on Cyrus, and it looks as though they’re from over seas.

Today’s episode of General Hospital was literally explosive after Sonny and Jason’s savage move against Cyrus. General Hospital spoilers warn this is just the beginning for the Corinthos Organization and it’s enemies.

Roger Howarth Still On Contract with General Hospital

In the midst of learning that many of our favorite actors/characters have either dropped down to recurring, or are down right leaving the show, it is very easy to inform fans that is not the case with Roger. After today’s episode, many fans were worried that Howarth, along with Kelly Thiebaud (Dr. Britt Westbourne aka The Britch), John J. York (Mac Scorpio), and Marc Anthony Samuel (Felix DuBois), would also be making himself scarce and leaving General Hospital.

For the record, Roger Howarth is not leaving General Hospital in his role as Franco, he also has not dropped to recurring. He is still on contract with General Hospital, according to Executive Producer, Frank Valentini. Roger Howarth will be taping for his Prime Time role as Mason Bridge on the CW’s ‘The Flash’ during General Hospital’s hiatus. In a quote from Valentini regarding Roger’s new project, he states, “We are thrilled for Roger and this opportunity. Fans can rest assure he is not off the show, as the timing for this role worked out so that he can shoot during our current “GH” hiatus.”

Share this post if you are relieved that Roger Howarth will continue on GH in the role of the psychotic and disturbed, Franco.

John J. York No Longer on Contract with GH

It seems like there are a lot of changes happening over at the set of General Hospital. As confirmation of Kelly Thiebaud’s status change with General Hospital has been revealed, more changes are about to become public. Kelly isn’t the only actor placed on recurring status with the popular daytime soap.

General Hospital vet, John J. York who plays the long time charmer, Mac Scorpio, has been on recurring status since the beginning of October.

The list of General Hospital ins and outs is ever changing and it seems as though there is always an actor on his/her way in and one on their way out. Fortunately, John J. York will not be leaving his role as “Uncle Mac” behind, we will just be seeing a little less of him on screen.

Ding Dong Dunkleman is Dead!

When we hear the name Levi Dunkleman (Zachary Garred), it sends shivers down our spine. Levi has been the most hated character on General Hospital in recent history. Some love to hate him, and others just completely despise the lying, manipulating, psychotic, freak.  Either way, it just goes to show that Zachary Garred has done an amazing job making everyone believe that he is a wretched slime ball.

Levi’s real name is Peter Harrell Jr., and he is the son of Felicia Jones’ (Kristina Wagner) ex-fiance Peter Harrell (Judson Scott). Levi’s father Peter set Levi out on this mission to destroy the Jones/Scorpio family. He targeted Felicia’s daughter, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) when she was on her eat, pray, love quest to find herself after losing custody of her own daughter. Dunkleman had Maxie fooled into believing he was this peace making, yoga practicing, soul saving vegetarian. Almost everyone around Maxie could see through Levi, including her roommate Nathan West (Ryan Paevey), her two best friends, Dante and Lulu Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna and Emme Rylan), and her Uncle Mac Scorpio (John J. York).

After being duped into marrying Levi, and almost going through with it, Maxie, Lulu, Dante, and Nathan all fell victim to Levi and his father, Peter Harrell. They had Maxie and Nathan chained up to a wall as Stavros took over with Lulu and Dante to impregnate her with an embryo. Maxie was able to go free and search for help as Nathan stayed behind. She found herself in a hospital room which led to where all the drama unfolded. There in a hospital bed lay Peter Harrell himself, and in walks Levi. The two explained how they were going to kill her to take something precious away from Felicia, has Felicia took something precious from Peter in the past. Maxie’s Knight in Shining Armor appeared just in time and saved her before Peter could kill her with an Aztec sword. Ultimately, the tables turned and the joke was on Levi. Nathan shot his father, and as Levi was about to shoot Nathan, Maxie was behind him and charged, stabbing him in the back.

Ding Dong Dunkleman is DEAD… or is he? Do you think Maxie had what it takes to succeed in killing Levi? For many fans, it seems to good to be true to be rid of this character once and for all. If Dunkleman is dead, he will truly be missed as being an exceptional villain. Nothing has been confirmed on the departure of actor Zachary Garred from General Hospital. We will keep you updated with any news confirming or denying Garred leaving GH. For now, let’s just wait and see if Dunkleman is gone for good.

The Fluke/Faison Connection

Cesar Faison. Just hearing (or reading) that name makes me shudder. Faison has been played by actor Anders Hove since 1990. He has been causing trouble for the residents of Port Charles, mainly, Luke Spencer (Tony Geary), Anna DeVane (Finola Hughes), Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan), and Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) from 1990-1990, then from 1999-200, and more recently in 2012.

Faison left the canvas not too long ago when Anna, Robert, and Duke got their revenge. Dr. Leisl Obrecht suspects that Anna, Robert, and Duke had a hand in the demise of Cesar Faison. Anna has never directly came out to say that Faison is dead. Faison has many ties to the residents of Port Charles now more than ever. Together, Dr. Obrecht and Faison share a child, daughter, Britta Westbourne. She resides in Port Charles and has been on and off involved with Prince Nikolas Cassadine.

Could Faison be Fluke? Rumors have been circulating and focusing on a few individuals who may indeed be the fake Luke. The theory of Jerry Jacks has been addressed, but here is some more food for thought. Faison has always had it out for Luke. He has always despised Mr. Spencer and even abducted his son Lucky under the order of Helena Cassadine. In past years, Faison arranged for Felicia Jones to be abducted in order to distract her husband Frisco. We also know that Faison is responsible for shooting Jason when he fell into the water off Pier 52.

Robin Scorpio, Mac Scorpio, Luke Spencer, Felicia Jones, Helena Cassadine, and more have all been involved with Faison. Since Victor is working on bringing Helena back from her frozen state, she has been rumored to return to GH along with Stavros. If Faison is Fluke, the story has the potential to tie all of these characters together, just like in the past. It would make sense that Robin is involved and has been forced to work under Victor Cassadine’s order. It makes sense that Maxie Jones (daughter of Frisco and Felicia and step-daughter of Mac) was a target in Levi’s plan to steal Felicia’s Aztec jewelry.

With all this connection to the resident of PC coming to light, do you think Cesar Faison is out for revenge in the form of Luke Spencer? Comment below and let us know your thoughts!

Levi’s Motives REVEALED! …and With NO Accent!

Levi really had us all fooled. Ever since the scene where he called the court and told the judge that Nathan lied and was covering for Maxie, fans wondered if he really had the accent and dropped it to disguise his voice for the call, or if he had no accent at all. Today we found out that his entire identity has been a facade. The man is a phony! He isn’t even Australian at all. Rumors had been circulating that Levi’s deeper reason for being in Port Charles was a possible connection with Jerry Jacks. Some even thought Levi could have been Jerry’s son. Well since he isn’t even Australian, that pretty much shoots down that possibility. As previously posted, Zachary Garred (Levi Dunkleman) mentioned in an interview with Michael Fairman, that he is definitely connected to someone in PC, and that someone is his Father.

It’s good to know that Dante, Lulu, Mac, and Nathan are all suspicious of Levi, but what is mind boggling is how gullible Felicia is. Hopefully Dante and Nathan can work together to take Levi down before Maxie marries him and he gets closer to Felicia’s Aztec fortune.

Will Nathan save Maxie from making the biggest mistake of her life?

Who is Levi Dunkleman’s Father?

There has to be a deeper, more dramatic reason for Levi to be in Port Charles than Maxie and Felicia’s priceless Aztec jewels. Perhaps his extreme skills of manipulation and scheming is a lovely trait passed down from a previous generation.

In a recent interview with Michael Fairman, Zachary Garred touched on the possibility of being connected to Port Charles by his biological Father. Michael Fairman asked, “So, Mac Scorpio (John J. York) really despises Levi!  He has had him pegged from the beginning.  What if turns out that Mac is really Levi’s father?  Oh, the irony!” In response, actor Zachary Garred said, “Oh!  If I could wish to be the son of somebody it would be John J. York (Mac) who is wearing a white pink checkerboard sort of golf pants right in front of us! I love him.  Actually, that is the kind of guy I would like to have as my dad.” He later continued on to say that he is the son of someone in PC, but cannot say who.

Zachary warns that along with Levi’s new haircut also comes some new behavior.
