Furthermore, Austin has shown is bravery toward the dangers brought on by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).

Additionally, he risked himself to keep Ava safe. He hasn’t really done anything that would lead the audience to believe that he’s just as bad as Cyrus and/or Mason.

Time sure flies when you’re a bad guy! Maybe that’s why the past year and four months seem like a blink of an eye. Grey joined General Hospital’s cast in June of 2022 and first aired on the 15th of that month. Since July of 2022, the GH newcomer was placed on recurring status.

Mason Gatlin struck a chord with GH fans from the moment he popped in the scene. Mysterious but on a creepy level, Mason’s no-nonsense interactions became increasingly intimidating with each scene. General Hospital recaps recall that he and his cousin Dr. Austin Gatlin Holt butted heads from the start. But when when Mason interrupted Austin’s news life, no one knew their backstory. Even Maxie had the woo pulled over her eyes as she was trying to get to know the man who delivered her baby.

General Hospital news reports confirm that Grey disclosed GH spoilers in a Ew ent Soaps In Depth interview.

Nathanyael Grey’s Shocking Confession About Mason

GH spoilers reveal that the recent interview sheds light on Mason’s good side- well, sort of. But according to Grey, Mason is not good or bad. Instead, he reveals that Executive Producer Frank Valentini told the actor that Mason is a gray character.

“He’s just doing what he’s told to the best of his ability,” Grey explained. “I tried to reflect that with some of the dialogue that they would allow me to change here and that, that he’s just a guy doing his job, but he’s morally ambiguous with what the job entails.

“One time, they wrote that Mason was directly threatening Georgie,” he added. “I changed the line to ‘Don’t make me.’ Like, ‘I don’t want to do it but I will,’ as opposed to ‘I will totally kidnap a kid!’ Once I knew that Mason’s family has a trucking company and who the boss was, I was like, ‘Oh, okay, well, he doesn’t want to lose his family business, so he kind of has to do these things.’ And Frank [Valentini, GH’s executive producer] backed that up; he said, ‘You’re actually a gray character. You’re not all bad.’”

From the sound of things, it’s possible that General Hospital is prepared to keep Grey on to portray Mason for the foreseeable future. GH Blog with keep fans updated on any GH casting changes regarding Nathabyael’s GH status.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) turned to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for help when Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) became a threat. Although his cousin Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) has a thing for the blond, former mobster, Mason has a job to do.

According to General Hospital recaps, Ava and Austin hit it off as friends before things quickly became physical. But that’s when threats escalated and there wasn’t time for any type of messing around in any aspect. So, was Ava and Austin’s encounter a “one and done” situation?

GH rumors tease that Austin can’t be trusted but he’s also not purely a bad guy. Instead, he’s been forced into this by family. Cyrus and Austin’s pasts are tied together and it seems like Cyrus uses that fact as leverage. Now that we know that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, it’s easier to see that Austin truly cares about Ava and doesn’t want to engage in Cyrus and Mason’s games. But Austin remains dishonest with Ava about the most important element of this entire situation. Not until Laura Spencer told Ava about Nikolas Cassadine’s bank activity did she think that her ex was alive. She eels to be in the dark about some important facts that could either keep her safe or risk her life.

Sonny Thinks Ava’s Sleeping With The Enemy

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Ava questions Austin after Sonny gives a warning. According to recent GH previews, Sonny tells Ava that she’s in bed with the enemy. And the look on her face is worth a thousand words. Although she is fond of Austin, I don’t think that she fully trusts him anyway. How is she going to react when she discovers that he has know that Nikolas was alive this whole time?

But neither of them even checked to see if he was actually dead. And besides, Austin’s lying to Ava anyway. He knows darn all that Nikolas is alive but he’s playing this game with Mason and their mystery boss. While it’s apparent that Austin can’t be trusted, he doesn’t aw all bad. Perhaps he’s being forced or coerced? Either way, Ava can’t trust him.

Do you recall what was going on in Port Charles in 2013? Sure, ten years is a long time but we aren’t amateurs. Of course we can remember the happenings of Port Charles from ten years back! Remembering one measly decade is nothing compared to the OG fans. Those General Hospital stans are the true ride or die types who have watched since day one (April 1st, 1963). That’s six decades!

General Hospital Reached 1 Million Followers, Cast Thanks Fans

While many of us started watching this iconic Soap Opera before we even had our first kiss, we encourage new, fresh fans every day! It’s nice to be able to grow the fan base, especially geared toward the younger generation. As I recall, I began watching General Hospital in 1992 with my mom and my sister. And throughout my pre-teens and high school years my friends also watched. Sadly, today most of my friends have stopped watching. And let’s be honest, we aren’t friends anymore either lol. Haha but that’s another thing.

Remember when Julian called himself Derek Wells?!

It’s hard to below that 2013 was ten years ago. General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that 10 years ago today, General Hospital reached 1 minion Facebook followers. It’s an impressive milestone for daytime drama. And 10 years later and GH is going strong.

General Hospital Spoilers: Martin Looks A Little Nervous, Doesn’t He? Blair Calls The Shots, We Were Right, Blair’s Definitely Involved With The Deceptor!

Blair comes for Marin and Tracy

Oh what a shame, Martin looks so nervous. In my opinion it serves him right for how he treats Lucy. Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) and Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) may appear to have had a solid, healthy, relationship, but his secrets say otherwise.

Port Charles has become a melting pot for fictional cities from ABC soaps. Like Jackson Montgomery (Walt Willey) from Pine Valley, Blair Cramer from Llanview is from one of ABC’s since cancelled, sister soaps. Personally, I love that ABC keeps these characters alive. They’ve been a part of our culture for so long, and shouldn’t be forgotten. I believe that General Hospital, (and Port Charles) is the perfect place to bring these names back to life. Meaning, the character and the actors who are most famous for portraying them.

Blair Comes For Martin and Tracy- The Deceptor Belongs to Blair

Previously, GH Blog shared the news with fans that Blair Cramer is Martin’s ex-wife. You know, the one who pays him $50K a month? Yeah, that one. We also predicted that Blair would have something to do with the Deceptor. And boy were we right! According to the latest General Hospital spoilers, DePaiva will share scenes with Jane Elliot as Blair Cramer and Tracy Quartermaine.

Ok, so we know that Blair will share scenes with Tracy. That said, is Blair there to confront Tracy about the Deceptor? Or, are they working together against Lucy Coe? Still, it’s possible that Martin stole the Deceptor idea from Blair, and now she’s in Port Charles to settle the score.

General Hospital Spoilers: Cassadine’s Unite In The Biggest Takeover Attempt Yet- Nikolas and Valentin Are Pikeman?!

Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman

Once a Cassadine, always a Cassadine! Could it be true that Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman?!?! It’s a fact! Despite what Ava was told, her ex-husband Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) isn’t dead. In fact, he’s very much alive. Some might say that he’s more alive than ever before. With a Cassadine bloodline comes power and expectations, along with loyalty to the family.

Previously, GH spoilers and rumors teased that Valentin Cassadine is heavily involved with Pikeman- more so than he ever let Anna know. Before Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) death, he and his son Valentin didn’t see eye to eye. Victor wanted Cassadine unity in order to take over Port Charles, and the world. However, Valentin opposed such control and rejected evil Cassadine ways. But what if Victor had special plans for his son in The Haunted Star? Plans that maybe Valentin couldn’t refuse.

Never Trust A Cassadine- Nik and Val Follow In Victor’s Footsteps?

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas and Valentin joined forces to carry out Victor’s wishes. Undoubtedly, each and every Cassadine has darkness within them. Ok, maybe not Alexis and her girls). But it’s pretty clear that Nikolas and Valentin are as dark as it gets.

Additionally, Valentin knows that Anna and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) are dear friends. So it honestly makes sense that Nikolas and Valentin would target bother Sonny and Anna. Furthermore, the connection between Anna, Sonny, and Ava to the Cassadines is enough reason why it’s quite possible that Nikolas and Valentin are Pikeman!
