General Hospital has got a major leak and rumor roundup and we want to share with you from a very reliable inside source. We have a huge kidnapping to talk about, three big exits, and one despicable character coming back that you’re going to absolutely hate to hear about.

We have the latest leaks for you. This is the same leaker who told us months before the reveal that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) is the one who killed Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco). They leaked Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) medical leave and Chade Duell quitting as Michael Corinthos before that all rolled out, and we’ve reported it here.

This source is legit and has a good track record. Remember, with leaks and rumors, these are not confirmed spoilers, but we trust the source enough to share it with you. Unless it’s direct from the network, we still call it a rumor.

Now, let’s get into it. Let’s start with those three exits. One of them you’ve probably heard about is Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), but we’ve got additional details. Another one we’ve mentioned before seems to be manifesting. The third is brand new, really shocking, and is being compared to Chad Duell’s exit.

Steve Burton’s Temporary Exit from General Hospital and Jason Morgan’s Kidnapping Plot

News recently broke that Jason Morgan is taking a couple of months—two to three months—off of GH to spend time with his family and his new wife, Michelle Lindström. We’re going to have maybe 12 weeks of no Jason Morgan in Port Charles. That is not a rumor; that is definitely happening.

We have some details on his exit. The good news is that it is not another fake death story as Jason Morgan leaves. He has already taped his last episode, and our leaker said he needs the time to move from California back to Tennessee. He’ll be back to taping as Jason Morgan in late May or early June, which puts him on air roughly in July.

To facilitate Steve Burton’s exit, our leaker says that Jason is going to be kidnapped. That’s not totally surprising, but what is surprising is that it’s not Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) or the dirty WSB director, Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), who kidnaps Jason. We will talk about this kidnapping in its own video coming soon, so check back for that.

Is Harrison Chase Leaving General Hospital? Detective Harrison Chase’s Future in Port Charles

The other exit that was leaked before is now feeling like it’s about to happen. We shared a while back that our leaker said Harrison Chase is leaving Port Charles and Josh Swickard will be leaving General Hospital. That rumor feels timely because Chase was demoted to beat cop and his marriage is hitting the skids soon.

Plus, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) warned Chase to stay out of Michael’s investigation, but Chase is already in it because of Drew Cain Quartermaine’s (Cameron Mathison) house key. I suspect Chase is going to drop a hint to Mac Scorpio (John J York) about that because he’s the one overseeing the search for evidence against Michael.

I suspect Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) may rat Chase out, and then he could end up losing his job. That might be too much for Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) because Chase’s devotion to Willow has really irked his wife. Plus, BLQ isn’t moving forward with adoption plans and there are already a lot of issues there.

Josslyn Jacks Exit Rumors: Is Josslyn Jacks Saying Goodbye to GH?

The third exit shared by the leaker is huge and one I didn’t see coming: Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). Our source says Eden McCoy is leaving General Hospital, potentially for the same reason as Chad Duell did. I think that’s a reference to the Michael Corinthos actor’s father dying, after which he decided to step away from GH long-term to grieve and be with his family.

If you remember, Eden’s mom passed away in November 2023 after a more than two-year battle with cancer. In mid-December, about five weeks after her mom died, we said goodbye to Joss for six weeks when Eden McCoy took some time off. The rumor seems to indicate that she may be ready to leave the role of Josslyn full stop. We’ll see if that manifests.

Emma Drake Returns for Robert Scorpio’s Memorial Service on General Hospital

This next leak is to dispel another rumor floating around. There’s chatter that Braedyn Bruner is leaving GH as Emma Scorpio-Drake. The character exited temporarily to go to San Francisco and tell her parents, Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) and Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson), about the Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) crisis. Anything you see about Emma leaving the soap is clickbait.

Emma is coming back. She’s also already confirmed to be present for her granddad Robert Scorpio’s (Tristan Rogers) memorial service. Regarding that service, we had heard they were scheduling Robert’s memorial and Robert’s offscreen death around Kimberly McCullough and Emma Samms’ schedules.

They play Robin Scorpio and Holly Sutton. However, rumor has it Emma Samms may not be available to film. The Holly Sutton actress has been battling long COVID for a while and she lives in England. I hope Emma Samms can be there as Holly, but we’ll see.

Anna Devane GH Update and the Sonny Corinthos and Valentin Cassadine Collaboration

An update on Finola Hughes: she is still on an extended break. That’s why Anna Devane is offscreen for the most part. However, Finola is still on contract. She will be filming this spring as Anna again full-time.

The leaker also said Cullum is picking up where Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) left off with his corrupt reign as head of the WSB. We also heard that when they recast the new Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke), it was specifically for this Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) story.

The leaker also said Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Valentin are going to join forces. That makes sense because Sidwell is in bed with the WSB, which means Valentin probably shouldn’t work with him. The Sonny and Valentin collab ties into the bomb at Sonny’s apartment that burned Michael and is also supposed to tie up loose ends from the long-dragging Pikeman storyline.

Scout Cain’s Living Situation and a High-Stakes Incident for Danny Morgan

The next leak tidbit is that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) debate where Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) should live long term—whether it’s at Alexis’ house or at the Quartermaine mansion to be close to her brother, Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn). It’s unclear why they are hashing this out. It points to Drew still being locked in, or him losing custody, and maybe Willow going away for what she’s done.

This next leak is about an incident at a school, and it includes Jason Morgan, Danny Morgan, Dante Falconeri, and Alexis Davis, plus the PCPD cops and a stunt actor. The leaker said Danny may be in trouble. Plus, we heard that Jason is up on a roof in March. Maybe it’s for this plot or his upcoming kidnapping.

New Romance for Jason Morgan and Drew Cain Quartermaine’s Dark Pivot on General Hospital

There’s a rumor that they may be testing out a new love interest for Jason because allegedly Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) comeback isn’t going quite as the powers that be hoped. I love Kelly Thiebaud and Britt is always fun. I personally love Jason and Britt together, so I hope it’s not true, but I report all the rumors, even the ones I don’t like.

Our source says Drew will not be redeemed with this Willow tournament story. Instead, he is going to pivot and go off in a different direction. If you were hoping Drew was going to exit, that’s not happening; Drew sticks around. One particularly wild rumor is that there might actually be two Nathan Wests (Ryan Paevey)—a real one and a fake one.

Is Peter August Alive? The Latest GH Casting Leaks and Resurrections

We have some good news and bad news on resurrections and casting. First, the good news: the leaker said Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) is not alive and is not coming back. We know they had Anders Hove taping audio for that episode with Anna in her room on Spoon Island. He did that Cesar Faison voice work remotely from Denmark, and Anders Hove is not coming back to reprise the role in person on General Hospital.

But here’s the bad news. Faison’s not alive, but the leaker says his awful son, Peter August (Wes Ramsey), is. To be honest, I kind of suspected that might happen since Britt and Nathan were both revived, but I know a huge pile of GH fans do not want Peter August back.

The leaker also said that Valentin knows Peter is alive and is sitting on that and some other big secrets. I could see him keeping it secret that Peter is alive. Valentin has been like a real dad to Peter. He’s been in Peter’s life practically since birth—mentoring him, protecting him, and trying to shield him from Faison because of the residual guilt Valentin had for his role in Faison getting his hands on Peter.

That’s the whole rumor roundup. Again, none of these are confirmed spoilers, just leaks from an insider with a really good track record. We will wait to see what manifests from this latest round of leaks.

Looking for a neo-noir sci-fi thriller hinging on a time-traveling serial killer who only appears once every nine years, causing victims to bleed out of their eyes for no real rhyme or reason? I know you are, which brings me to the good news. 2019’s In the Shadow of the Moon will take you on this exact journey, and it’s an absolute trip. Think True Detective Season 1, but instead of an elite cabal of corrupt Louisiana officials operating a human trafficking ring behind closed doors, the primary antagonist is a mysterious figure who only surfaces during specific lunar cycles to go on a killing spree.

Is it an alien? A human from the future? Or is it simply a figment of our unraveling protagonist’s imagination as he becomes so obsessed with the case that he alienates everybody he once cared about, turning into a shell of a man over the course of a decades-long investigation that nobody else seems interested in solving?

It’s Happening Again … 

In the Shadow of the Moon tells a time-hopping story in a progressive linear fashion, beginning in 1988 Philadelphia and concluding in 2024. We’re introduced to rookie cop Thomas Lockhart (Boyd Holbrook), heading out for his graveyard shift with his partner Maddox (Bokeem Woodbine) while leaving his very pregnant wife Jean (Rachel Keller) at home. What starts as a routine night quickly spirals when multiple victims die under the same bizarre circumstances.

Each victim bears puncture wounds, and their brains hemorrhage catastrophically, leaking from every facial orifice exactly how you’d expect. With the help of Thomas’ brother-in-law, Detective Holt (Michael C. Hall), they track down the woman they believe is responsible (Cleopatra Coleman). Before they can get answers, she jumps in front of a train, but not before telling Thomas intimate details about his life, including the fact that Jean will die during childbirth that very night.

By 1997, Thomas is a widowed detective struggling to raise his 9-year-old daughter, Amy (Quincy Kirkwood). He’s convinced the 1988 massacre was a one-off freak occurrence until the same pattern resurfaces on the nine-year anniversary. This time, the investigation expands to include a physicist named Naveen, who insists the killings are connected through time travel. Thomas, Maddox, and a now-promoted Lieutenant Holt dismiss the theory, but the nine-year cycle continues, tightening its grip on Thomas’ life.

We next see him in 2006, worse for wear after leaving the force to work as a private investigator focused solely on this case. By 2015, he’s a husk, still chasing answers while everyone else has moved on. The pattern persists, the obsession festers, and Thomas remains the only one who refuses to let it go.

If True Detective Were A Netflix Sci-Fi Original

As much as I want to root for In the Shadow of the Moon, a couple of things pulled me out of it. While this may sound nitpicky, the 1988 and 1997 sequences lack the kind of texture that really sells those eras. I’m not saying it needs to function as a full-blown period piece, but you’d be hard-pressed to distinguish the ’80s from the present day outside of the absence of smartphones, which bothered me more than it probably should have.

Minor criticism aside, In the Shadow of the Moon earns serious points for its ambitious premise and hard-boiled neo-noir vibe. The mystery is compelling enough to keep you locked in, and Boyd Holbrook’s physical portrayal of a man slowly losing everything in pursuit of answers is the selling point. Whoever handled his makeup in the later sequences deserves serious credit, because you can practically chart his decline through the lines of age etched across his face.

In the Shadow of the Moon takes familiar mystery-thriller beats, injects them with a bold sci-fi twist, and delivers a time-spanning character study that’s messy in places but undeniably intriguing. It’s currently streaming on Netflix, ready for anybody who wants their crime dramas with a side of lunar-induced chaos.

The tragic death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a Carnival Cruise ship has taken a shocking turn. Her stepbrother was recently arrested in connection with the case, according to Anna’s father, Chris Kepner. And, the story is leaving the internet reeling. As more details remain under wraps, the teen’s death—initially ruled a homicide—has ignited widespread speculation and concern.

Stepbrother Arrested After Teen’s Carnival Cruise Death

Authorities arrested and charged the stepbrother of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who tragically died aboard a Carnival cruise ship in November, the teen’s father, Chris Kepner, confirmed. Sources say authorities released the teen into a guardian’s custody, but they have not clarified the exact charges, leaving the investigation—and family drama—shrouded in secrecy.

Stepbrother Spotted In Court Amid Ongoing Investigation

Additionally, the stepbrother of Florida teen Anna Kepner appeared in federal court in Miami on Friday, as investigators continue digging into the shocking circumstances of her death aboard a Carnival cruise ship. Three months after 18-year-old Anna Kepner died aboard the Carnival Horizon during a family vacation, authorities saw her 16-year-old stepbrother leaving juvenile court and entering adult federal court, dressed in a camouflage hoodie with his face hidden beneath a low-pulled baseball cap and hood.

Anna Kepner’s Mom Speaks Out

Heather Wright, the biological mother of Anna Kepner, has walked back her earlier claim that her daughter’s stepbrother had been charged in connection with Anna’s death, admitting she was “misinformed.” She added that prosecutors and her ex-husband haven’t updated her on the case or provided any new details, leaving her frustrated and in the dark. Meanwhile, the stepbrother’s mother slammed his release from custody. She called it “deeply painful and disturbing” that someone she claims is responsible for Anna’s death is apparently walking free. Authorities have not yet formally accused the teen of any wrongdoing.

More Details From Anna Kepner’s Case

As previously reported, just weeks after Anna’s death during a Caribbean vacation in November, authorities named her stepbrother a “suspect” in court filings from an unrelated custody case. Sources briefed on the investigation say authorities found the Florida teen under a bed. Investigators found her body wrapped in a blanket and covered with life vests.

Furthermore, the family released a statement expressing gratitude to the FBI and Department of Justice for their handling of the case. Meanwhile, court records remain sealed due to the suspect’s juvenile status. Questions remain about the exact charges, and authorities, including the U.S. Attorney’s Office and local prosecutor, have declined to comment.

Movie franchises are the bread and butter for every movie studio. These movies are mass entertainers and can bring a boatload of money that can power the studio for years to come. Take Star Wars, which started in 1977 and remains a recognizable title almost 50 years later. The right franchise can spark a new trend in cinema. Just a decade ago, Hollywood was in the fantasy-adventure era with movies like Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean, then it went to the young adult era with Twilight and The Hunger Games, and now it is still firmly in the superhero trend.

Here, we take a look at some of the most ambitious film franchises of all time. Some reshaped filmmaking through technological breakthroughs, and a few aimed high before ultimately collapsing under their own weight. Whether they succeeded, stumbled, or did a bit of both, each reflects a moment where ambition, and maybe the promise of box office gold, is the driving power.

‘Sony’s Spider-Man Universe’ (2018–2024)

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe set out to build an MCU-inspired franchise centered on the hero’s rogue gallery of villains, beginning with Venom. The idea was to establish a parallel universe that could eventually intersect with Spider-Man himself. The franchise released six movies, including Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter, without Spider-Man ever appearing.

Sony must be appreciated for its (blind) ambition to build a cinematic universe to rival the MCU. While Venom went on to conclude its trilogy, the other movies mostly became memes and laughingstocks, with Morbius and Madame Web struggling with tone and narrative coherence. The franchise aimed to replicate the interconnected success of the MCU, but without clarity. For example, the end of Venom: Let There Be Carnage promised that Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock would seek out Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man, but that was quickly dismissed. Madame Web also teased the appearance of Peter Parker, but the timeline wasn’t clear. After diminishing returns, Sony finally came to its senses and seemingly cancelled the universe.

‘DC Extended Universe’ (2013–2023)

Playing catch-up to the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC aimed to create a darker, more mythic version with the DC Extended Universe. Turning the standalone Man of Steel into the franchise starter, it expanded quickly with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which not only featured Batman and Wonder Woman but also teased other heroes and future storylines. A total of 11 films were planned afterwards, but only five were released. Ten other films in the franchise were not part of the original slate.

With Zack Snyder as its main architect, it’s clear that the DCEU would never be similar to its Marvel counterpart. However, Warner Bros. caved in after the unexpected reception of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and they started to tinker with Suicide Squad and Justice League, trying to make them lighter and fun, resulting in an uneven mess that couldn’t be repaired. There are great, successful movies in the franchise, like Wonder Woman or James Gunn‘s The Suicide Squad, but ultimately, studio interference and creative clashes killed the DCEU.

‘Dune’ (2021–2026)

After David Lynch‘s attempt in 1986, Denis Villeneuve adapted Frank Herbert’s dense, politically charged Dune with a measured, atmospheric approach. Rather than condensing the rich story into a single film, Villeneuve opted to split the story into two to give its world and ideas room to breathe. With a star-studded ensemble led by Timothée Chalamet, the film quickly became a critics’ and audiences’ favorite.

Villeneuve made a huge gamble with Dune. The first film literally ends at the midpoint of the story, and the sequel was not filmed back-to-back. If critics rejected the film or if it didn’t turn enough profit, the follow-up would not see the light of day. To make things worse, it was released post-COVID, released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. However, Dune was a commercial success and was nominated for a whopping ten Oscars, winning six. The sequel, which offers the payoff, was equally beloved by audiences and critics. After making two films that can be considered among the best sci-fi films in recent memory, Villeneuve and the cast are now prepping the third film, which is due to be released in December 2026.

7

‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ (2003–2017)

Based on a Disneyland theme park ride, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl defied the odds and became a runaway hit. Two sequels, Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End, were greenlit soon after with Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley returning alongside director Gore Verbinski. The sequels followed the trio as Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) demands that Jack Sparrow pay his debt, and the East India Trading Company attempts to eradicate piracy.

The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is blockbuster filmmaking at its finest. The films are not interested in simple storylines, but they have a complex, ambitious plot that sees each character team up and betray one another. Some may say it’s unnecessarily convoluted, yet it’s riveting and unexpected until the end. The production of the second and third films was notoriously intricate as they were filmed back-to-back. With lots of on-location shoots, enormous practical sets, and amazing CGI effects, the budget was high, with At World’s End becoming the most expensive film at its time. All of that paid off with a spectacular box office gross. The next two sequels, however, opted for the safe route and were far less exciting.

‘Star Wars’ (1977–present)

From the very first film in 1977, Star Wars has always been ambitious. From pioneering revolutionary effects and sound design to intricate world-building. The main story is about the Skywalker Saga, following Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and later Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). The franchise is expanding even more with spin-offs like Rogue One and acclaimed series like Andor and The Clone Wars.

Each new Star Wars project carries the burden of decades of lore and fan expectations. The team behind each Star Wars entry tries to keep it fresh while also respecting what came before. The projects usually have top-tier talent and spare no budget (currently, The Force Awakens holds the title of being the most expensive film of all time). Some have argued that currently the franchise is in a limbo, but considering how beloved and relevant it is, it’s unlikely that Star Wars is retiring any time soon.

5

‘The Matrix’ (1999–2021)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

The Matrix introduced a cyberpunk world where reality itself is a simulation by following Neo’s (Keanu Reeves) journey to fulfill his destiny as The One. The first film is a generational achievement, blending philosophy and sci-fi action in a seamless manner, and its success led to sequels that expanded the mythology and criticized popular culture.

The franchise’s complex storyline is already ambitious for its time, but then The Wachowskis also pushed the envelope by pioneering visual techniques like the famous bullet time. The sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, were filmed back-to-back with bigger ideas and even bigger action sequences. The highway chase in Reloaded is still regarded as one of the best action sequences of all time. Recently, instead of crafting an easy legacy sequel, Lana Wachowski created a subversive film in The Matrix Resurrections that defies audiences’ expectations, showing that ambition is still in the franchise’s DNA.

4

‘Harry Potter’ (2001–2011)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

The Harry Potter series chronicles the journey of the titular young wizard as he studies at Hogwarts and confronts the darkness in the magical world. Over eight films, the franchise matured alongside its audience, transitioning from whimsical, family-friendly fantasy to a coming-of-age drama with a darker plot. The main trio is played by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, but the series also boasts the best of British actors in the supporting roles.

Releasing eight films within the span of ten years is almost unheard of today. The franchise’s ambition is evident in how it committed to long-term planning and commitment. The pre-production of the next film usually started when the previous film had not even finished filming, and the production process could take up to a year for each movie. It was also able to retain the same core actors across the decade, reflecting the actual growth of the characters. As a result, the Potter movies are beloved all over the world. The franchise has been a merchandising gold mine and immortalized in theme parks and massive studio tours.

3

‘Avatar’ (2009–present)

James Cameron’s Avatar franchise is set on the lush alien world of Pandora and follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), who integrates with the native community through the avatar technology. The films may have familiar plots, but the technological aspects of the franchise are simply mindblowing. The films utilized revolutionary performance capture for the actors playing the Na’Vi and created the whole planet from scratch through CGI.

Avatar is deeply ambitious for its innovation and also linguistic aspects, with the franchise creating a whole new language system for the Na’Vi people. The sequels, Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash, featured even more complicated effects where the actors had to act underwater and have their performances translated into their CG characters. Entire workflows were created specifically for this franchise, from virtual production to 3D exhibition standards. Considering the intricate production process, it’s no wonder that the final film is slated to be released in 2031.

2

‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ (2008–present)

The Marvel Cinematic Universe began modestly with Iron Man, but with a sneaky post-credit scene that teased future team-up films, it evolved into an interconnected web of films and characters. Over time, it introduced dozens of heroes and villains while building toward large-scale crossover events like The Avengers and Avengers: Endgame. The franchise expanded even bigger with TV series like Agents of SHIELD and various Disney+ shows.

Across five game-changing phases, Kevin Feige’s approach to the MCU turned blockbuster filmmaking into something similar to long-form television, but with massive budgets and A-list talent showcased in cinemas. No franchise had ever attempted serialized storytelling across so many films with such narrative continuity. The scheduling of the actors in Avengers: Endgame alone seems like a nightmare, and they’re attempting a bigger one with Avengers: Doomsday. This kind of cinematic universe sparked a lot of imitators, but so far, none have come close to replicating Marvel’s overwhelming success.

‘The Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy (2001–2003)

Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy adapts J.R.R. Tolkien’s monumental fantasy book, following the journey of Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and the Fellowship as they attempt to destroy the One Ring. Jackson was not a household name when the movie started production, nor were the actors in the ensemble, making it a risky yet ambitious production.

All three films in the trilogy were shot back-to-back, showing the studio’s confidence in the property. The shooting schedule, which is not in chronological order, was also an ambitious feat. The most famous example is when Ian McKellen shot his farewell with the Hobbits in his first week of filming. Jackson and his team benefited greatly from his ongoing partnership with Weta Workshop and Weta Digital, which are now among the best at making practical effects and CGI. The trilogy is considered among the best fantasy films and is considered a masterpiece in cinema.

“There have been rumors, speculations, and comments made about my previous relationship and my friends. I want to apologize for not addressing things sooner, but I needed to take a step back from social media and process everything,” he continued. “People react to things in different ways, it is an emotional time and should have been handled PRIVATELY.”

More On Kai Cenat & Gabrielle “Gigi” Alayah’s Split

As The Shade Room previously reported, in December 2025, Kai Cenat shocked fans when he announced he and Gigi had split up.

In turn, Gigi took to the internet, confirming their split but also implying that Cenat believed a false rumor about her cheating on him with NBA YoungBoy.

By January, Gabrielle Alayah had broken her silence on their split, per The Shade Room.

Then, later that month, Alayah was clearing her name from additional claims shared by Cenat’s assistant, per The Shade Room.

This, while also airing out Cenat’s friends for trying to pursue her and speaking negatively about her.

Amid all of this, however, Kai Cenat remained mum and even popped out in Paris to promote his apparent clothing line. This, while some of his friends shot back at Gigi.
