Rumorville: Jon Lindstrom's (ex-Kevin Collins
/
Ryan Chamberlain, GH) real-life girlfriend, Cady McClain (Dixie, AMC), made an interesting tweet, "A little bird just told me GH is bringing back some fan favorites. Who will return, I wonder?"
Was
Cady referring to her former AMC co-star, Robin Mattson's upcoming return to
GH (see our News page), or could she have been hinting that Doc
Kevin was making a return? And what of his significant TV other, Lynn Herring (Lucy)? Here isa bit of ... Continue reading ...
Rumorville: As many of you have already heard, Jack Wagner's contract with The Bold and The Beautiful is not being renewed. Now comes word from his B&B co-starHunter Tylothat, " I think he is over in April -- then he will go to GH.".
Rumorville:
Those of you who follow our News Page know there is a new casting call
out there. I have already said in the Spoilerholic thread in our forum
that it was most likely a male. I have now seen the side and the fact
is that the role of "Erik" sounds suspiciously similar to the role of Michael
Corinthos, currently occupied by Chad Duell. Oh...and in this version, "Jason" agrees to allow "Erik" to join to mob. See our GH News Page for a link to the audition script.... Continue reading ...
Rumorville: It seems that SID is hearing some of the same rumors that have been circulating on the net, that Michael Easton (Detective John McBain, OLTL; Caleb, Port Charles) and Ted King (Tomas, OLTL, both Alcazar brothers, GH)
may be headed to GH in January. Tentative dates heard on the net have
Easton beginning to tape on January 12, and King on the 25th. At this
point, gossip has it that neither role is long term (at least yet),with
Easton said to be coming for a six month stint. ... Continue reading ...
Rumorville: No confirmation, but gossip has it that that Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio) may make a two to three month return as part of Robin's (Kimberly McCullough) exit storyline.This seems to go along with a hint yours truly heard (but never repeated) around the time Tristan exited from the Y&R. So keep your fingers crossed! (Can we expect to hear of other potential returns as well?)
Ethan may soon be Occupying Wyndemere... as its caretaker.
Rumorville: In this week's CBS SID, Genie Francis appears to have confirmed that despite the speculation that has been floating around the net, she is sticking with The Young and The Restless and has no plans for a return to General Hospital any time soon.
Apparently, her concern is even if she were to come back to GH, it would be only for a month or two as in her previous returns--and she doesn't want that. She wants to work! Genie also mentioned that she had been wanting to return to GH f... Continue reading ...
Rumorville: Look what I found! Actress Lilah Richcreek's audition tape for the GH role of "Gina Solieta", the only daughter of a NY Crime boss. In this scene she is talking to "Johnny", the son of rival gang members who she has a not-so-secret crush on, about putting a hit out on her father. Is her vague similarity to Lexi Ainsworth in appearance, as well as the conversation in the scene, a mere co-incidence...or NOT? Watch and decide for yourself.
Rumorville: For the last two weeks rumors have been running rampant on the net that Lexi Ainsworth has been let go in order to recast the role of Kristina with a more mature looking actress. Ever since the rumors began, Lexi, a formerly prolific tweeter, has not been back on twitter.
Last week when Nancy Lee Grahn was asked about the rumor, she simply replied, "No Comment". Thus far, no one has been able to confirm the rumors, while some sources have outright denied that there is any truth... Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Interesting tweet from Robin Strasser in which she claims that One Life to Live's head writer, Ron Carlivati will be joining General Hospital as a script writer with hopes of becoming a co-head writer.
Robin tweets: JUST TOLD but NOT told it wuz SECRET: Ron CARLIVATI to #GH as script writer-hopes 2 b co-head writer?"
According to SID, the rumor about OLTL's "enormously talented headwriter joining the GH writing team is indeed true. But OLTL fans do not
have to worry about him l... Continue reading ...
Karen Harris (former GH writer, let go by GH in 2010, friend of Bob Guza), "I
walked the picket lines with a whole bunch of terrific writers. Garin
[Wolf] quit the WGA [Writer's Guild of America] so he could scab. This
is his reward. I'm sad, because there are others there who are better
writers and deserve it more."
Brenda Lunsford Lilly (former TV Writer, but not for GH), "For
you fans who don't understand the politics of this -his crossing the
picket line against his co- writers ... Continue reading ...
Rumorville: As we've previously reported (see two related articles below) , Couric is close to signing a $20 million deal with ABC for a daytime
talk show as well as a significant role at ABC News. Now, TMZ is speculating that Couric's one-hour
syndicated show could possibly premiere in September 2012 in General Hospital's current time slot. OR...that Couric could replace one of ABC's upcoming lifestyle shows,should either fail. Both shows are replacing ABC's axed soaps, AMC and OLTL.

to see how it will unfold." The story involves
Tea's brother Tomas (Ted King),, ex-Lorenzo/Luiz Alcazar, GH) and his unexplained interest in Todd and his family.
Rumorville: UPDATE: See our News page for the latest regarding Tyler's status. According to SOD, an insider reports that GH's Tyler Christopher was let go on Friday. If true, this wouldn't be too surprising to folks who have been keeping up with our News Page.

Rumorville: According to a recent news article and interview in USA Today, James Franco is returning to GH this summer:
"For Franco, who returns to General Hospital this summer, it's
all a study in storytelling. 'Soap operas, yeah, generally people think
that's something to avoid, that's a 'low level' of entertainment,' he
says. 'But if you look at a lot of movies that are released in
theaters, they're just the same as soap operas.' ".
And so the on-again-off-again reports regarding a return b... Continue reading ...
