General Hospital has some critical leaked info about Robert Scorpio‘s (Tristan Rogers) funeral, including who will not be there. Also some info about what Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is enduring at that clinic in France. Plus a violent end for WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
We’re going to get into the latest leaks from our trusted source who has come through for us on quite a lot and I love to share these things with you guys. We actually have stuff from two sources by the way.
And as always when I’m covering leaks and rumors, I want to remind you these are not official General Hospital spoilers. That being said, because we have a couple of sources and one has a really, really good track record. One’s, you know, a little more hit and miss, but I love to share these rumors. They’re good. So, we’re going to dive into another roundup.
Jason Morgan And The WSB Story on General Hospital
So, first, our leaker gave us some info about Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and this WSB story. So, despite the fact that we have Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) and Cullum and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) all in it, reportedly this is all just a carryover of that Pikeman plot that kind of went nowhere with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and Brennan running the organization.
Remember and then Jack was in prison and then Valentin’s on the run and if you remember Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) was an assassination target, all that just kind of fell apart, right?
So word has it that Jason was actually supposed to join the WSB a couple of years back when he was first coming back and was intended to be part of the plot to take down the Pikeman organization, which you know back then was essentially Jack and Valentin and they said that was the storyline that lured Steve Burton back to General Hospital. But then if you remember there was one headwriter change after another. It was like musical chairs. There was some behind-the-scenes drama. And then they brought Sidwell to Port Charles after the whole thing in Africa.
FV Couldn’t Let Carlo Rota Leave GH
And the source said that showrunner Frank Valentini really likes Carlo Rota. I do too. He’s a lot of fun. So, they wanted to keep him and they expanded the Sidwell plot and then kind of moved Jason away from the WSB join up and then deepened it by creating the fourth Faison child, Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey). And they brought back Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington). So, they also said that as part of the Jason in the WSB plot that Jagger was actually supposed to be his handler, but there were reportedly some issues and the actor they wanted for his recast didn’t work out.
Then they got a different actor who I liked and of course it just didn’t work well. So, that was another complication that pulled Jason away from the WSB story. And of course, Steve Burton is back to filming very soon, and his story is reportedly going to pivot when he’s back. Our leaker said Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Jason aren’t going to work out. That remains to be seen.
Josslyn And Cashes Pairing Potential
All right, the next leak, speaking of WSB related stuff, is about Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Cassius. So, reportedly, we’re going to be seeing more of Joss with Cassius, even though he insisted he had real feelings for Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening). The leak said that we will be seeing more of Cassius with Lulu and Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) after the kid gets back to Port Charles, but we’ll also be seeing more of Joss with Cassius, not just because he has her locked up but because rumor has it that Frank Valentini thinks there is potential for Josslyn and Cassius as a romantic pairing.
I know some fans on soap social media were complaining about the physical fight that Joss got into with Cassius and him taking her down so hard, but I mean, come on. Joss is a WSB agent. She’s supposed to be a badass and it’s not like Cassius was, you know, sexually assaulting her or something. GH has done some really icky stuff in the past, you know, with rape stories. And first of all, for, you know, glorifying it.
General Hospital: Ryan Paevey on the Fence
Second of all, for excusing it and reforming rapists, and also for making the stories more about men than women. Like when Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst)’s rapist got out of prison and it turned out to be more about Franco. And then they even got Sonny in there more so than it was about Liz.
So anyway, I know that Luke and Laura are fan faves, but just the whole rape origin is ick. So in terms of things they’ve done between men and women, a good clean basically fight like that between a bad guy and a WSB agent, I personally think it’s fine.
Also, rumor has it that Ryan Paevey is considering whether to renew his contract or not. His first air date was in September, so he started taping as Cassius in August. Word is that Ryan’s looking to see what’s next after Cassius goes dark this summer.
One potential storyline could set up Ryan Paevey to exit after Cassius does something heroic to protect the people in his life, which obviously include Lulu, Rocco, Joss, James West (Gary James Fuller), or possibly Britt that he might save because he’s closest to them. Other chatter said to expect exits this fall. They hinted that Britt and Cassius might be casualties of late summer or early Fall drama. And I’m sure that’s down to whether Ryan renews his contract or not.
Anna Devane’s Situation in France
Now, let’s talk about Anna. The leaker said Cullum’s paying a doctor at the facility in France to drug Anna. And that same doctor is giving falsified reports to her daughter Robin Scorpio-Drake, (Kimberly McCollough) who has been checking in and monitoring the psychological care that Anna is getting.
So, this next piece of info, you know, I’m taking a wait and see on this because it says that Mac Scorpio (John York) uses some influence to get Anna sent to Ferncliff in Port Charles in June. However, to me, that kind of contradicts what we already know is in the works with Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) clearing the way with the French authorities.
So, we’ll see if the Mac stuff manifest or not. But Ferncliff definitely sounds plausible as sort of a halfway house for Anna before she’s back to her real life. And once she is back, that clears the path to do the goodbye and tribute to Tristan Rogers and his character.
Robert Scorpio’s Memorial And Other General Hospital News
The leakers said Robert Scorpio will have an offscreen death. We all knew that, of course. But also his memorial this summer apparently will also be offscreen because they’re not planning to bring back Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) or Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson). So, personally, if they do it this way, I think an off-screen funeral for a legend like Robert Scorpio would really suck, and Tristan Rogers deserves better. So, I hope it doesn’t wind up that way.
Now, some casting news. Scout Cain (Cossette Abinante) may be getting SORAS’d aging her up to a teen and recasting the role. Also heard that Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean) was exiting this summer. We’ll see. That feels really fast and a waste unless he just kills Sidwell and then packs his bag to leave Port Charles. I kind of doubt the summer exit, but we’ll see.
New GH Villain Coming
The leaker also said the Delilah Wilson (Lily Cardone) mystery will bring in another villain. And this week, Maxwell Caulfield pops up as Apollo, the art dealer. Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) visit in New York asking about Delilah. So, we may get a hint about this new villain. Then, also, we’ve heard it several times, and although I love the actor, I kind of hope it’s true that Cullum is killed off in June.
We initially heard he was going to die in May but then got an airtime extension because Finola Hughes’s return was delayed. That being said, the leaker also said it won’t be Anna that kills him. I’m hoping it’s Sidwell says he stabbed Marco Rios (Adrian Anchando) to death.
However, the leaker also said Cullum’s death triggers ripple effects for several characters and Britt is one of them. Might have something to do with her Huntington’s meds. We are supposed to be getting a few new faces, including two younger recurring actors.
And I do wonder if one of them is the little boy, Derek, who is waiting on that liver transplant. The leaker said we’re getting two new contract roles to General Hospital this summer. One’s supposed to be a guy in Britt’s orbit helping her again. Maybe it’s about her meds. This is exciting.
General Hospital: Martin & Brick Return
Also, we heard Michael E. Knight is back filming as Martin Gray, so we’ll have him on screen soon if the rumor is correct. And I wonder if he might be the lawyer Curtis hires for his criminal assault case.
And we heard Stephen A. Smith is back soon as Brick. That’s not surprising. Sonny basically already confirmed that when he said he’s putting Brick on the Rocco case, but then again, sometimes Sonny says Brick is on something and then we don’t actually see him in person. And according to the leaker, Stephen A. Smith is going to have new scenes. So, we’ll see what goes from leak and rumor to confirmed spoiler. But for now, it’s all interesting stuff.
