TV Guide's  Michael Logan is reporting Constance Towers is checking back into General Hospital, just in time for Aiden's paternity to come to light! According to Logan, Towers hits Port Charles a little sooner than expected due to Tyler Christopher's ousting at the sudser. Towers' airdate is slated for the week of June 27. Yes folks, the sound you hear is our Luke Kerr doing a back flip.

Exiting General Hospital star Tyler Christopher (Nikolas Cassadine) announced via Twitter that his last day at GH will be May 19.

Just got word my last day is May 19th.Ill post a farewell blog soon. Blog will b up later.
 

 

General Hospital alum Tyler Christopher didn't mince any words about ABC's decision to cancel both of Agnes Nixon's iconic sudsers. Christopher remarked on Twitter:

My opinion of oltl and amc being canceled is...ABC farted then panicked when a little poop came out.

CHAPTER!

Brook Lynn is heading out on tour and her portrayer, Adrianna Leon (Yes, that's how she spells her name now!) is being written off the canvas at General Hospital. ABC Soaps in Depth confirmed the news that the actress has been written out. Leon has been on recurring status with GH since her return last year. READ MORE

When the news broke that Tyler Christopher was handed his pink slip at General Hospital, my immediate reaction was not one of shock. Once confirmed and the dust settled, I thought about what it all really meant for GH and the canvas surrounding Christopher’s character Nikolas Cassadine. Of course my second thought was that our own Luke Kerr was crying over one of the last Cassadines left leaving Port Charles. Is that the problem? Nikolas being our only real connection to the iconic Cassadines? With no story for the Cassadine family, is there a reason to keep the main connection to them?

I know, I know, he’s Laura Spencer’s (Genie Francis) son and what I’m about to say next may shock some of you. Should GH hold onto a character that is seemingly going nowhere based on a hope that IF Francis and ABC were to strike a deal, the onscreen mother and son could share a handful of scenes? Shocking, coming from me, who values the connections to characters' pasts, but it’s not Nikolas’ familial ties that I am struggling with. It’s the obvious lack of direction for this character and the Cassadines that seems to be plaguing the writer’s table. Yes, we still have Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and her girls, but the longing that Sam (Kelly Monaco) fans have had for her to explore her Cassadine roots have fallen on deaf ears.
