General Hospital: Dual Fatalities, Sudden Departure & Big Comebacks Loom

General Hospital fans, we have got another rumor roundup for you from our very reliable sources who leak stuff from behind the scenes at GH. Lots of exciting things to discuss. We’re going to talk about a rumored exit, two possible deaths, and several big returns.

General Hospital: Ric Dies of a Brain Injury

All right, so first I want to talk about the two possible deaths we’re hearing rumors about. The first is Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). We have heard before that he was going to have some sort of fatal or near fatal medical crisis. And now we’re hearing rumblings again about his character. So, our source says now that Ric may die of a brain injury by the end of the summer.

And our source says this death drama is to make a really good story line for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). But we’ve had another leak recently from another source that sometimes contradicts the first one, and this one said we may get an Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Ric reunion. So, those are conflicting leaks from two different backstage sources. One of whom is certain Ric is not leaving, and that’s the leaker that I hope is right because I don’t want Ric dead. But they’ve both given us really good accurate stuff. So, 50/50.

Jacinda Murdered on GH

The next possible death we’re hearing in backstage chatter is Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell), the very pretty ex prostitute that Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is dating. Our inside source says Jacinda meets a bad end and it is likely a fatal one. That wouldn’t be terribly surprising if we lost Jacinda because most of Michael’s girlfriends end up six feet under. Our source didn’t know details just that Jacinda might be killed by a third party and it’s blamed on Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). And the source says, of course, she swears she’s innocent, didn’t hurt Jacinda, and is telling the truth, but nobody believes Willow because of everything she’s done.

Our leaker heard it might be related to a break for actress Katelyn MacMullen, who plays Willow. And that brings us to our big exit leak. Although it’s not a permanent exit, but it would be another lengthy break. So, we’ve seen Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) get a long break and also Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). And now it looks like Katelyn MacMullen needs a break.

General Hospital: Willow in the Looney Bin

She’s been in an intense front burner storyline for many months. And we also heard from the leaker that the Willow and Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) awful story was supposed to actually run longer when I thought it was already too long. But then some stuff going on behind the scenes and some alleged interference changed things. And the leakers said Katelyn MacMullen asked for a work break. And our leakers said Willow will be back after this break and will be acting even worse.

We’ve heard Katelyn’s short-term exit could result in Willow going to Ferncliff or Shadybrook. I can see it because Drew is hellbent on revenge and can’t use legal channels to punish his homicidal wife. So Ferncliff isn’t as good as Pentonville. But at least it would be some consequences for Willow.

Revenge Plots and New Villains Emerge on GH

All right, next. The leaker said, “In case you think Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) has chilled, she has not. She remains determined to get revenge on Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) for luring Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) into the WSB. And I wonder if Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) is going to share in the revenge because he and Brennan also have beef. Right now, the leaker says Valentin doesn’t know all the crimes that Jack’s been doing. But if Valentin gets info on these, he may use all that for revenge, especially to help Carly.

Also, Valentin is supposed to mix it up more with Sonny, according to the leak, and I’m sure it’s about him trying to get Valentin out of Carly’s life. Our leaker also says that Brennan needs to watch his back because of Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). Now, apparently, this story was pushed forward by two months, and our source says Sidwell’s final arc wraps up in August. And tied to that is this new guy coming this week, Hudson (Troy Appel). Now, supposedly Hudson is the next villain after Sidwell’s out of power. But maybe not the next real big bad.

Brennan Works with Sidwell on General Hospital

Since General Hospital usually brings in more recognizable actors as the main villains, the source thinks Hudson may be connected to the next main villain rather than being the next main villain. And in fact, the source actually said there may be more than one villain. And given that we’re hot off double diabolical demons of Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Sidwell, I don’t think we need another two bad guys. But they didn’t ask my input.

One last note on Sidwell. The leakers said Brennan may offer to break Sidwell out of prison if he doesn’t implicate Willow in anything. And if this happens, it’s clearly about Jack Brennan’s interest in someone, which our leaker told us about, and we leaked that was coming a couple of months ago.

General Hospital: Romantic Struggles and Casting News

So, next we have a leak about Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) that says she may not last on General Hospital unless they find a workable love interest outside of Jason. They’re on good terms now. That’s supposed to be coming to an end, according to our leaker. And another leak mentioned that they had written a plot for Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) that wound up cut.

And the leaker said in the wake of Isaiah Gannon’s (Sawandi Wilson) debilitating hand injury, Isaiah was supposed to get addicted to pain pills and get a front burner storyline. But the source says now they’ve heard that Portia may exit. And I hope not if that means Portia is going to be stuck with Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner).

Also, aside from our usual sources, Steve Burton leaked a little snippet about what’s coming for Jason. He made a subscribers only video and in it Burton was talking about Jason having PTSD after his ordeal. Burton says there’s some dark things that happened in the WSB prison that haven’t been seen yet and that more on that is coming soon.

Major GH Return – Lucky Spencer Back to PC

Next, let’s talk about major returns that we may see. Our leakers said Greg Vaughan is returning as Lucky Spencer in November. Now, we saw recently Greg Vaughan posted on his Instagram thanking fans, thanking various people, and saying he’s moving on to his next chapter. Well, that could mean that he has wrapped his run on Beyond the Gates where he was appearing as Dr. Kial Rollins because there is a rumor that that role was recast with Colin Eglesfield who had been on All My Children.

So, he’s the same age as Greg Vaughan. He’s been seen in Atlanta at Assembly Studios where they shoot Beyond the Gates. So maybe he’s a new character. But that in combination with Greg’s weird Instagram post about moving to the next chapter, he may have wrapped his run at BTG and could be available to come back to General Hospital as Lucky. And we know the Powers that be wanted Lucky back. But Jonathan Jackson wasn’t interested in commuting from LA to Nashville where he lives.

Ethan Lovett Out on General Hospital

We’ve also heard from our leaker that despite the recast with Christian Howard that Ethan Lovett (Christian Howard) is still going to be leaving Port Charles. And adjacent to that, we heard new guy Hudson is going to be involved in storylines linked to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard).

We heard another possible return as Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Jason’s son Jake Webber (Hudson West) hopefully with the same actor in the role. But just on recurring, not contract, so probably a shorter arc. And the leaker said he may be back this fall for a Drew and Jason storyline. But the source also said if you’re Liz and Jason shipper, don’t get excited. There is no reunion just because their son’s coming back.

Two more possible returns to mention. One is Cameron Webber (William Lipton) could be back to stay. But only if William Lipton is interested in returning. And there’s behind the scenes chatter that Dylan Quartermaine is coming back and maybe related to someone’s storyline. But we’ve also heard Michael and new villain Hudson may both be involved with Serena Baldwin (Kelly Krueger), who’s back on the scene this week, interestingly, the same day that Hudson debuts. So, we’ll see what moves from rumor to spoilers soon.
