General Hospital LEAK: Cassius Makes Comeback, Brennan Delivers Shock, Fresh Face & Fatal Ends!

General Hospital fans, we have got some juicy new leaks for you from our reliable behind the scenes sources. This latest rumor roundup includes a shocking return for Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey), some deaths, a possible recast, and a twist for Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna).

And in today’s rumor roundup, we’ll talk surprise returns, a couple of deaths, two possible recasts actually, and Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) and Phoebe’s (Lucia & Luna Brighton) storyline may take an explosive turn tying into another huge story line.

General Hospital: Cassius’ Name Tarnished

So, right now everybody in Port Charles thinks Cassius Faison is dead and Z leaned on Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) so that she would stick to the WSB‘s fake story and say that Cassius is the villain and that Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) died a hero trying to stop him.

It’s all lies the furthest thing from the truth because Cassius died trying to stop Cullum only. He didn’t die. Good news is at least Cullum did die. And of course, Z saved Cassius and then packed him off to a WSB black site to decide what to do with him later.

This exit was to facilitate an end to Ryan Paevey’s stint on GH. He had some movie work to do, but there was supposed to be an eye on bringing him back later. And now, of course, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati)’s mourning. Britt is upset.

Everybody thinks the worst of Cassius and assumes he’s dead. So, Josslyn helped the WSB save face. And in exchange, she got Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) both pardoned and released from WSB custody.

But Ryan Paevey said he’s definitely open to returning as Cassius. And our leaker said a while ago he wasn’t gone for good. That was before his death/non death on GH. And now the leaker’s back with more info about Ryan Paevey’s return to General Hospital.

GH: Cassius Returns

Our source says we’re going to get Cassius back this fall. Now, originally we’d heard Ryan Paevey would be back late summer, but now our source says Fall instead. We’ve heard chatter that we will see Cassius and Z both back sometime in October or November.

And of course, November is sweeps. There was also a John Oliver tidbit that hinted at his return. So, for a guest star, honestly, I thought he did okay. His stint on Days of Our Lives was a little more over-the-top than his GH turn as Z.

Also, this Fall, we know Chris McKenna is leaving GH and his character Jack Brennan is being killed off. We leaked this many, many months ago and then another source recently confirmed it.

So, there’s always the chance that Z is back with Cassius and some WSB plot gets dangerous, and that’s how Brennan dies because we know Hudson may be on the WSB‘s radar because of JJE. Plus, we know he’s a bad guy.

Also, because of how tangled Brennan is with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), I kind of suspected one or more than one of them might have something to do with Brennan’s death, whether it’s accidental or deliberate.

General Hospital: Drew & Ava Target Brennan

Right now, we know that Drew wants to get his hands on the blackmail that Brennan has on him. Drew wants to steal it so Brennan can’t hold it over his head. And Drew is working with Ava Jerome (Maura West) to deal with their enemies.

And this week, Drew wants Ava to keep Brennan busy while Drew searches his hotel room. So, he’s hoping to find the incriminating evidence there. Looks like Ava may be drugging Brennan’s drink to make it happen. So, Drew and Brennan might end up in some physical confrontation soon.

Plus, we just saw him and Willow in a confrontation. Brennan dropped by her house to rant about her missing a WSB funding meeting. And Willow was really sneaky and recorded Brennan admitting he used WSB resources to make the footage of her on the night of Drew’s shooting disappear.

So, we have Willow getting that leverage against Brennan and Drew and Ava also teaming up against him. So, it certainly sounds like Brennan’s going to be in trouble on more than one front. And this could all factor into his death.

General Hospital: Anna on a Mission

We’ve also got Peter August (Wes Ramsey) pushing Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) to kill Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). And if Brennan’s in the wrong place at the wrong time and intervenes, that could be how he dies. We also have Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) final arc that’s just starting now. That could also tie into Brennan’s exit and possible death.

Carlo Rota confirmed that Sidwell wasn’t done and he’d be in Pentonville with another character. And obviously, we know now that’s Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner). But the leaker said that this isn’t a plan for Sidwell to stick around. They told us this is Sidwell’s last storyline before he’s done on General Hospital. So, he might die, too.

Now, we’ve heard different rumors, including one that hints Brennan might help Sidwell escape and get out of Port Charles for some reason. So, Sidwell might have some dirt on Brennan because Cullum dug something up and gave it to him since they were partners in crime. Sidwell might even have proof that Brennan deleted those files.

Also coming this Fall, our leaker says the WSB story line and the Hudson, Delilah Wilson (Lily Cardone), and Phoebe story are going to overlap. Looks like an umbrella story, which honestly I don’t usually care for, but General Hospital writers love them.

General Hospital: Hudson after Pheobe

We definitely know the Hudson and Phoebe storyline is heating up because Hudson just saw Phoebe with Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and then Josslyn blabbed a bunch of info and pretty much confirmed to Hudson that Phoebe is his daughter. And Hudson probably suspects Ethan Lovett (Christian Howard) frauded and said he was the dad. So, Hudson’s wheels are turning and he’s finding reasons to show up and see Phoebe.

And I fully expect his next move is to get proof that she’s his daughter. He could swipe a binky. He could swipe a drool rag or a baby bottle while he’s over at the Q estate talking to Josslyn. And with her taking the position of CEO at JJE, that will give Hudson even more reason to stick around and be on the Q property seeing her.

We’ve also heard from our source that Hudson is not the next big villain, but works for the next big villain. So, wait and watch on that, too. And that kind of makes sense for why the WSB might have JJE on their radar with the leaker saying the Hudson and Phoebe stuff ties back to WSB. It’s all aligning with what we’re seeing now. Our insider said Hudson would be Josslyn’s next WSB assignment. And I can totally see that manifesting since Brennan just told Josslyn her new assignment is to take the CEO job at JJE.

Hudson’s Family Ties on GH

There was a mention in the rumors about Josslyn not knowing that Hudson is family. That might have been a weirdly worded reference to him being Phoebe’s family, but that would be kind of strange. Or maybe Hudson is Josslyn’s actual family. His last name is Parker, but that could be his mom’s name. Honestly, I’d love it if he was her cousin. And Hudson was the son of super villain Jerry Jax (Sebastian Roché). I would be so thrilled to have Sebastian Roché back to General Hospital. I love him.

You never know on soaps. And they have been bringing old characters back. They just brought back Ethan. We’ve got Serena Baldwin (Kelly Krueger) back now. We finally got Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) back after many years.

So, another info is a rumor that Frank Valentini pitched recasting Agent Vaughn with a more well-known soap actor, but that was rejected by the network. We also heard he pitched a love triangle with Giovanni Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) in the middle of Josslyn and Emma and got another no.

And we’ve been promised an offscreen death for Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and a memorial for Tristan Rogers and it keeps not happening. Word on the street is it’s because of Finola Hughes and Steve Burton’s long breaks that everything got pushed back by months, including this.

So, now I’m hearing it might even be next year before we say goodbye to Robert Scorpio, and that kind of hits hard. Tristan Rogers was my very first soap crush when I was a kid, and I would like to see him and Robert Scorpio properly honored by General Hospital.
