General Hospital LEAK: Triple EXITS, Fresh FATALITY & Cassius COMEBACK Buzz!

General Hospital has some leaks and we are bringing them for you from our behind-the-scenes source. This time, it’s mostly focused on character exits, deaths, and a return. We’re going to talk about several characters rumored to be leaving, some temporarily and some for good, like 10 toes up.

And just to be perfectly clear, I classify these as rumors. The leaker has a good track record. But these are not official spoilers. These leaks come from the same source who told us quite a while ago that Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) was going to be killed off, and that just panned out. Chris McKenna has called his exit rumors clickbait. But clearly they weren’t.

This same source also leaked Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) was Sam McCall’s (Kelly Monaco) killer way before it came out and a bunch of other stuff. So, with that in mind, we’re going to talk about some more exits our source says are coming, plus a return.

Kai Exits General Hospital

And first of all, just along with Brennan‘s exit, our leaker says that hot on the heels of that, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) is also set to exit. Late last year, Jens Austin Astrup, who plays Kai, was dropped from contract to recurring. Back then, we heard that he was on his way out. The latest rumor said that Kai’s exit was delayed, along with a lot of other stuff that shifted.

This was because of the long breaks that Finola Hughes and Steve Burton were allowed to take. And if this rumor pans out and Kai exits, obviously that’ll be a bummer for Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Because she’s really going through it right now with her dad Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) being in Pentonville.

Plus, there’s the recent bombshell that just dropped that Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) was the second driver in Curtis and Jordan Ashford‘s (Tanisha Harper) accident. Of course, we all knew. But Trina’s just now finding out.

Trina’s Stalker Bombshell on GH

And then there’s the other bombshell yet to drop that Trina has an obsessed stalker. So, this is the worst time for her to lose somebody who is her support and who’s in her corner. And soon, Trina is going to need that support more than ever. And if Kai leaves, that’s going to be a hard hit for Trina. Currently, she and Kai are doing great. So, if his character leaves, I honestly suspect we’re going to see some sort of foul play involved.

If you remember, Simon (Grady Eldridge) just told Kai not to hold Trina back. And of course, there’s a chance that record label guy Simon is Trina’s stalker. So, it could be that Simon is pressuring Kai to dump Trina and walk away. Or what I feel like is more likely, Kai is killed off by Trina’s stalker. Whether the bad guy is Simon or whether it’s Quinn (Jequan Jackson), who’s another likely candidate. But that would be a really soapy outcome.

General Hospital LEAK: Ric Killed Off

The second exit that the leaker mentioned is Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). We’ve talked about that here before because we’d heard a while back that Rick Hearst may leave. But this was another exit that was rumored to be delayed because of the long breaks and it was supposed to happen a while back.

So, one leak said that Ric had a health crisis. The rumor said it was coming in Fall and it would be near fatal or possibly actually fatal. And this was intended to be a storyline to amp things up for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard)’s storyline.

However, this leak contradicts another leak we heard from a good source that Ric was going to be fine and was supposed to be splitting with Liz and that he may reunite with his ex, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). So, we’ll see if one of those manifests. That being said, I don’t want Ric to go. I love him.

General Hospital: Willow Headed to the Nuthouse

All right, next. Let’s talk about Willow Tait Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen). Our source says she’s supposed to be making a temporary exit this fall. Her contract renewal date is October unless they’ve already inked the deal. And we’ve heard that part of the negotiations was to get Willow some sort of exit to accommodate a break for the actress who’s been on the front burner a while.

So, reportedly she wanted a long break like what Finola Hughes got. And that may be why Willow is going off the canvas for a little while. It was originally about her wanting a break. But it may tie into these contract negotiations. And with the way Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) is coming for Willow, and Jack’s gone missing, you know, plus Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson)’s got her cornered, everything is falling apart for Willow.

So, it would make sense for her to have some kind of exit to face consequences for a while. With Brennan dead, the evidence against Drew is obscured for now, maybe forever. So, it’s just a question of what and who is finally going to take down Willow because she’s way overdue for consequences.

General Hospital: Drew Blindsides Willow

This week, Drew is over at her congressional office and he’s taunting his ex-wife. He may want to see Willow in Pentonville for drugging him because Drew can’t nail her for shooting him twice in the back. And that is because Willow already faced trial for that. And thanks to Alexis, she was acquitted. Not exonerated. But off the hook for those criminal charges because of double jeopardy.

But Willow and her drugging him and then Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) dumping Drew into the lake trying to drown him, those are all things he wants payback for. And if he doesn’t have to worry about that blackmail evidence, he could pursue that. So, Willow might be arrested or she has some big mental breakdown that could send her to Shady Brook or Ferncliff to facilitate her exit.

Who Moves in at the Quartermaine Gate House?

Our source also says when the actress goes on her break, the Quartermaine gate house is going to be free again and somebody else may move in. Our leaker also heard a while back, I think it was like in March, that the General Hospital writers were planning a Willow and Michael reunion with an Alan Quartermaine (Stuart Damon) and Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) type vibe.

So, the temporary exit for Willow was also supposedly a proactive safety measure to protect the soap. So, in case the negotiations to renew didn’t work out and they needed time to recast the role, they could send Willow offscreen to Shady Brook or Ferncliff and then bring her back with a new face.

General Hospital: Michael & Willow 2.0

So, it’s all pretty exciting if General Hospital is going to go that route with Michael and Willow, honestly. Because it seemed like they might be on a road to reconciliation. They were sparking when Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) drugged Willow with MDMA and she was being sweet to Michael and flirty. So, maybe Willow hitting rock bottom and having a breakdown and going to a mental health facility will ultimately bring her and Michael back together.

You know, maybe Willow can finally get a clear head if she spends time in intensive therapy and works through her messed up Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) teenage rape trauma. I feel like the Dawn of Day stuff and her dad being forced out is what made Willow vulnerable to Drew’s manipulations and all of his gaslighting.

So, if the therapist can fix Willow’s issues, maybe she and Michael could reunite and have a decent relationship. Honestly, there have been more toxic pairings on General Hospital that ended up in a reunion and worked out fine. So, we’ll see how it all plays out.

General Hospital: Tristan Connected to Britt

Our source has been really on point lately. Some more tidbits from the leaker include that Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) is supposed to be keeping an eye on Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) to see if she’s in contact with her dad Cesar Faison‘s (Anders Hove) network.

And rumor has it the reason Z (John Oliver) saved Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) and took him away was because Z wanted more info on Faison’s network from his son. Rumors point to JJE possibly having some subsidiaries also tied to Faison’s organization.

That’s why Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is involved in the WSB. Remember again, these are not official spoilers. File them under leaks and rumors and watch to see what happens on General Hospital as Port Charles heats up and we’ve got exits. We’ve got possible recast. We have a big return. Because Cassius is supposed to be back. Stay tuned for all of that.
