General Hospital Casting Rumors: Cameron Mathison The New Ric Lansing

Last month, General Hospital comings and goings reports confirmed that All My Children star, Cameron Mathison is joining the cast of General Hospital. General Hospital news updates reported Mathison now knows more about the role he will be playing in Port Charles.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Mathison will be back in early June after he finishes filming a Hallmark movie. This timeline reflects when he will begin filming on the set of GH at Prospect Studios.

Since no one knows who Cameron Mathison will be playing when he arrives in Port Charles, General Hospital rumors have began circulating, making claims he will replace Rick Hearst as Ric Lansing. Ric is the brother of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), and father to Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) daughter, Molly Lansing Davis (Haley Pullos).

General Hospital Spoilers: Cyrus Renault’s Obsession With Sasha Seems To Have Happened Overnight

Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) is working on a plan to help her Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) exonerated while he and Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) are running from Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) and the law. Sasha is pregnant with Brando Corbin’s (Johnny Wactor) baby and Carly is using that to her advantage.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Cyrus Renault is obsessed with Sasha and will become dangerously jealous if he finds out Brando is her baby’s father. But fans question how we got to this point. It’s true that Cyrus and Sasha we friends for a brief moment in time, but that friendship was of convenience on both ends. She wanted drugs, and he had what she wanted. But after her near death experience, Sasha woke up and realized Cyrus brings nothing but bad news. Other than a few minor run ins around Port Charles. Sasha and Cyrus haven’t really had much to do with each other, and now Cyrus is suddenly so obsessed with her that he wants the man who got her pregnant to be brought to him.

General Hospital rumors suggest Renault’s obsession with Sasha will make Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs) finally see the light in order to help Peter’s her son and grandchild. Carly has hope that Gladys will see the threat of Cyrus knowing about Sasha and Brando, and keep quiet. All while turning on Cyrus and changing her story about Jason as the prime suspect in Franco’s (Roger Howarth) murder.

Pertinent information has dropped into Carly’s lap and although hesitant to betray Sasha’s (Sofia Mattsson) trust, she knows that nothing is more important than proving that Jason is innocent.

Carly will use Renault’s sudden obsession with Sasha to intimidate Gladys into dropping her statement and using her silence to protect her son. But if Gladys was capable of snitching on Brando, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), and the Corinthos family about Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab), there’s no telling of Gladys will do right by her own family now.

General Hospital Spoilers: Maurice Benard Lets Fans In On A Secret

General Hospital star, Maurice Benard has been having a great time with the change of pace that comes with portraying an entrepreneur new personality for the legendary Mob Boss, Sonny Corinthos. Benard recently confirmed that Mike will soon begin to remember parts of his life that reveal his true identity as a gangster from Port Charles, NY.

When it comes to long, drawn out storylines, GH fans have proven time and time again that they (we, myself included), lack patience while waiting for the stories to unravel. When referring to the current situation with Sonny Corinthos and his other persona, Mike, patience is running very thin. Although fans understand the process, it’s difficult to watch as Nina Reeve (Cynthia Watros) keeps Mike all to herself while she knows damn well that Sonny’s family is grieving his loss back home in PC.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Sonny will soon be reunited with his wife, Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), his children, and his loved ones. Until then, Sonny will experience memories and bits and pieces of his old life.

General Hospital news leaks confirm Maurice shared a video for his GH fans, letting them in on a secret. In the video, he is sitting around relaxing, reflecting on his current characters, Mike and Sonny. As he narrates the homemade video from “Mike’s” perspective, he said, “I’m starting to remember like, my past.” Benard goes on to say, “I keep hearing, Sonny where have you been? What’s up?…”

Take a look at Maurice’s video below, as he reveals to GH, and Sonny fans that Mike is starting to remember who he really is.

Even his wife, Ava Jerome (Maura West) begged him not to return Florence Gray to Cyrus in exchange for Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) protection.

Nikolas realizes he should have done things differently when dealing with Cyrus. But it’s too late to go back and change things.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Nikolas is ready to face his uncle with an approach that is an equal, and possibly even greater force.

General Hospital previews show Nikolas telling Ava that Cyrus is about to meet his father’s side of the family. Renault thinks his tougher and more ruthless than a Spencer, but wait until he feels the wrath of the Cassadine side of the family.

General Hospital rumors suggest that Nikolas is ready to unleash talked Cassadine savagery. Nikolas Cassadine has always prided himself on how different he is from his father, Stavros, leaving evil in the past with Helena and the rest. But Nikolas has always had it in him to do what it takes as a Cassadine.

Nikolas is about to show Cyrus the true meaning of why he’s referred to as, The Dark Prince.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Jason and Britt hit the road and it won’t be a smooth ride. They set off on their journey as they run from the PCPD. People are coming at Jason from every angle since Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) is on the hunt to bring him in, and Cyrus is out for blood.

General Hospital previews show Jason is at his limit. He has pushed his health to the brink, exhausted all of his resources, and it seems like he might hit a dead end. Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) has done all he can when it comes to the hacking though the GH security cam, Brick (Stephen A. Smith) is ready and willing, no questions asked to help Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) with Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) organization. Britt has been by his side, and even his ex, Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco), is stepping up to keep Jason from being turned over to the PCPD.

General Hospital rumors suggest things are about to reach a boiling point, and the drama will hit it’s peak while the PCPD and Renault hone in on Jason and Britt. Jason is going to need all the help he can get from those he trusts.

General Hospital News And Spoilers: Cynthia Watros Defends Nina’s Decision To Keep Sonny A Secret

General Hospital fans are in an uproar over the current storyline involving GH’s leading man, Maurice Benard, as the legendary Mob Boss, Sonny Corinthos.

Many fans have expressed their dislike for the situation Nina Reeves is creating for Sonny and the rest of the Corinthos family.

General Hospital news reports confirm that Cynthia Watros has had a chance to defend her character’s actions, and explain why Nina would keep Sonny from his family.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Cynthia’s explanation in an interview with Soaps In Depth. As he explains that Nina was confused and basically couldn’t believe her eyes when she arrived in Nixon Falls and saw this man looking strikingly like the man Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), along with many back in Port Charles, are mourning.

Watros explains, “She thought she was kind of losing her mind or something,” She continued by revealing, “She was thinking ‘Maybe he’s not sonny, he’s just a guy who completely looks like Sonny and talks like Sonny.’ That went away quickly, and then she was concerned for his mental health.” Cynthia went on to say, “Like, if I just blurt out to him, ‘You’re this guy, you’re the head of this mob and you have a wife and kids,’ is that too much information? Would that be a harm to him?” she continued. “So she was grappling with that and she did try to call Carly, and Carly was mean to her; rightfully so, because they’re in a bit of a rough patch right now. I think it kind of broke open Nina’s vulnerability and hurt.”

It’s safe to say that regardless of why Nina is doing the despicable thing she is doing, GH fans believe it’s high time Sonny gets home to PC and his family.
