General Hospital Spoilers: There’s More To Emma and Dalton’s Past

Emma and Dalton’s Past
General Hospital: Emma and Dalton’s Past

In December of 2024, Emma Scorpio Drake unexpectedly returned to Port Charles. Her grandmother Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) was just as surprised as the next guy to see Emma back in town. For all Anna knew, her granddaughter was as away at college in California at UC Berkeley.

At first, Emma’s return sparked controversy among GH fans and (fictional) confusion among Emma’s close family. The Emma everyone knew was no more when Braedyn Bruner stepped into the role following the fan-adored Brooklyn Silzer. Additionally, the character’s entire personality did an 180.° Grown up Emma presented a contrast drastic enough to have resulted from a lobotomy. Eventually, we were able to see the sweet and even vulnerable sides to Emma.

Sadly, sweet little Emma was left in the past. It didn’t take long for fans to get on board with the new Emma- the actress and the personality. In fact, Braedyn Bruner has captivated fans in her rendition of Emma, and has become an storyline front runner. From the looks of things, Emma and Gio have potential for romance if the writers keep up the good work. According to General Hospital news reports, Bruner’s Emma, and Emma paired with Gio Palmieri (Gio Mazza) continue to receive positive feedback from GH fans all over social media.

Emma and Dalton’s Past- What’s Emma Hiding?

General Hospital Recaps: Anna knew something was up based on Emma’s new, bad girl attitude. But as the story unfolded over these past five months, the former WSB agent began questioning the validity of every story told involving Emma.

According to the documentation obtained by Anna from the WSB, Emma and professor Dalton have crossed paths prior to Port Charles. Coincidentally (or not), both Emma Scorpio Drake and Henry Dalton were involved in a classified scandal at UC Berkeley, and somehow both wound up in Port Charles. So, GH fans have been wondering how Professor Dalton doesn’t remember Emma from his lab at UC Berkeley. It’s possible that she was only part of the break-in as students attempted to avenge abused animals in the lab.

General Hospital Spoilers: Someone is hiding something that’s for sure. At this point the focus is on Dalton’s it’s Dalton’s undisclosed lab project. Meanwhile, General Hospital rumors tease that Emma is harboring a seismic directive!

Next week on General Hospital Jason begins to help Anna dig into Dalton. Will he figure out what Emma has been hiding?

General Hospital: Kelly Thiebaud Returns To General Hospital

Reportedly, Frank Valentini has confirmed that Kelly Thiebaud returns to General Hospital! Kelly’s character Dr. Westbourne died in her mother Liesl Obrecht’s (Kathleen Gati) arms after her very own birthday bash at The Savoy. In the land of soap operas, it’s perfectly normal to come back from the dead however, the way Bri died makes it a difficult death to resurrect.

Immediately following Jonathan Jackson’s GH exit news another General Hospital casting change was confirmed. According to recent General Hospital news reports the 62-year-old daytime drama is bringing Kelly Thiebaud back to the canvas. Executive Producer Frank Valentini confirmed the actress’s return and shared his enthusiasm for what’s ahead. “I am thrilled to have Kelly back on our show,” Frank Valentini revealed. “We have some great twists and turns planned for her character.”

according to General Hospital spoilers and rumors Kelly Thiebaud return may not equal Dr. Britt Westbourne’s return. Although the actress told Deadline, “It’s good to be home,” that doesn’t mean she will play the same role. If you really take a look at Frank’s statement, he does not mention Britt’s return. However, he does state that there will be a lot of twist and turns for her character- never specifying the character’s identity.

Upon leaving the latest GH news about Thiebaud’s return, fans wonder if The Britch is back or if Kelly will portray someone new. Keep checking in with General Hospital Blog for updates. Kelly is set to return to the screen this July.

Professor Dalton and Drew Cain
General Hospital: There’s a new creep in town

The streets of Port Charles are plagued with creepy dudes. Lately, Professor Dalton and Drew Cain have upped their weirdo game and now it’s hard to tell who is worse. These two don’t know it, but they are competing for the title of biggest creep. First, we have the new guy in Port Charles. Professor Dalton has arrived in Port Charles after fleeing from California. He was a professor at UC Berkeley, where Emma Scorpio Drake lived in California with her parents, Drs. Patrick and Robin Scorpio-Drake.

Aside from the fact that the WSB has launched an investigation into Professor Henry Dalton, he seems creepy on a whole other level. The way he laughs around both Anna (Finola Hughes) and Emma (Braedyn Bruner), the way he stares, and planning alone time with his student are not signs of a wholesome gentleman.

Then we have Drew. Good ole Drew Cain (desirably Quartermaine) went from noble hero to wife stealing creepy uncle before our eyes. Drew is a manipulative liar and has home wrecked his own nephew’s life. If Drew had his way he would whisk Willow, Amelia, Wiley, and Scout far away from Port Charles and their families. Additionally, Drew was sleeping with Willow’s mother, Nina (Cynthia Watros). Neither Nina nor Drew have bothered to tell Willow the truth- but we all know that won’t last too much longer.

We all know that our feelings for Drew are mutual among us GH fans. Meanwhile, Drew and Willow continue to hold the first place title for most hated couple currently on General Hospital. As for Dalton, we have only begun to see what he’s all about. But from the way things appear, the intriguing professor’s creeper rating could even surpass Drew.

General Hospital Spoilers: It’s Time To Get Over Sasha- Will Cody Move On With Lulu Or Molly?

Cody Moves On With Lulu and Molly
General Hospital: Lulu, Cody, and Molly Love Triangle?

Love After Sasha-GH fans believe that Cody Moves On With Lulu or Molly! So, who will win Cody’s heart? Cody Bell went from unknowingly falling in love with is first cousin to becoming an eligible bachelor in an instant. The heartbreak was intense and he hasn’t moved on romantically. Come to think of it, neither has Sasha. Aside from her one night stand with Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), Sasha hasn’t caught feelings for anyone since having to call it quits with cousin Cody.

Love hurts, but time heals [most] all wounds and Cody will be just fine. Coming up, General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Cody takes a turn for the better in his healing journey. Perhaps even two times better than he’s been since finding out Sasha is his cousin. GH fans have been rooting for Cody since he seems to get the sh!t end of the stick in many situations. For once, General Hospital fans hope that something good happens to Cody. But, be careful what you wish for because sometimes lessons more.

GH Rumors Tease That Cody Moves On With Lulu Or Molly- What Trouble Could Possibly Arise?

General Hospital rumors hint that Cody has two chances to move on from Sasha, and those chances are named Lulu and Molly. Cody and Lulu met when she escaped from the hospital and wandered around Port Charles after being in a coma for four years. She hitched a ride in classic Lulu style, and Cody matched Ms. Spencer’s witty banter the entire first encounter. Meanwhile, their close ties to friends and family have Cody and Lulu interacting quite often. And now that she and Dante have closed the door on any possible future rekindling, GH rumors hint that Lulu turns to Cody. These two have a lot in common with similar traits and mutual social circles. Lulu and Cody are both headstrong and can be impulsive- among other similarities such as strong and capable. Seems like they’d be a good match, doesn’t it?

On the other hand we have Molly. Cody and Molly started out rocky in their first few encounters, getting under each other’s skin. But they have that whole “opposites attract” thing going on, not to mention the classic “damsel in distress gets rescued by a cowboy” story too.

This week on General Hospital, new spoilers indicate that Lulu and Dante’s latest encounter resonates with both of them. Will Lulu need a shoulder to cry on? In addition, GH rumors tease that Molly reflects back on the night of the Nurse’s Ball. Having been mistaken for a couple with Cody creeps into her mind. Will she blow this off as intrusive thoughts, or will she become curious about Cody?

Which lady is right for Cody?

There you have it. Both Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) have declared that they don’t want each other back shortly after revealing that they still have feelings for each other.

Maybe in time Dante and Lulu will find their way back to each other- but for now GH rumors hint that at least one if them is moving on…

General Hospital Recasts Michael Corinthos
General Hospital News: Chad Duell OUT

General Hospital Recasts Michael Corinthos! Longtime General Hospital fans are forced to adjust to a major transition. For months, Chad Duell’s GH status hung in limbo. It was unclear whether or not Duell’s break from the Daytime Drama would result in a permanent absence.

Reportedly, GH fans wonder no more as role of Michael Corinthos is officially being recast. After nearly 15 years in the role, Chad Duell has exited the series, marking the end of a significant era for the character and the actor alike.

His nuanced performances and emotional depth earned him both fan loyalty and critical praise. However, after over a decade in the role, Duell chose to step away, sharing that it was time for him to explore new creative opportunities and personal growth beyond the soap opera world.

General Hospital Recasts Michael Corinthos As Rory Gibson Takes Over

Gibson brings a fresh energy to the part, with early reports describing his take on Michael as grounded, intense, and emotionally layered. He is set to make his on-screen debut on May 23, 2025.

Although an adjustment, General Hospital is no stranger to these transitions. According to GH spoilers, Gibson’s arrival as Michael pulls out all the stops. Reportedly, Michael returns on May 23, 2025. Recent recast news brings about new questions. Such as if the storyline incorporates Michael’s new look, or if that aspect is left alone.
