General Hospital Spoilers: Major Cast Exits, Jaw-Dropping Kidnapping, And Return Of A Much Hated Character!

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease fans should brace for major cast exits, a jaw-dropping kidnapping, and the return of a much hated character!

This is a big leak and rumor summary from a trusted source – a major kidnapping, three significant departures, and one awful character returning that you will definitely dislike hearing about.

This Same Source Revealed Several Items

This is the same leaker who revealed months ago that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) killed Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).

They also leaked Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) medical leave and Chad Duell leaving as Michael Corinthos before it all happened.

This source is reliable and has a solid history; keep in mind, leaks and rumors are not confirmed spoilers, but we trust this source enough to share.

One you might have heard of is Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), but we have more details; another one we mentioned before seems to be happening. The third is new, very surprising, and is being compared to Chad Duell’s exit.

Steve Burton’s Family Leave

Recently, it was announced that Jason Morgan will take a break from GH for two to three months to be with his family and new wife, Michelle Lundstrom. This means we won’t see Jason Morgan in Port Charles for about 12 weeks-this is confirmed, not a rumor.

We have some information about his departure; the good news is that it’s not another fake death storyline. Steve has already filmed his last episode, and our source mentioned he needs time to relocate from California to Tennessee-again-he had moved to Tennessee another time previously.

He’ll return around July; our source says Jason will be kidnapped-this isn’t too shocking, but it’s not Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) or the corrupt WSB director, Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), who’ll kidnap him.

Josh Swickard Being Written Out As Harrison Chase?

The previously leaked exit is now feeling imminent. We mentioned earlier that our source indicated Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard)is set to leave Port Charles, and Josh Swickard will be written out.

This rumor seems timely, especially since Chase has been demoted to a beat cop and his marriage is on the rocks.

Additionally, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) cautioned Chase to steer clear of Michael’s investigation, or face firing.

Yet Chase is already entangled due to Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) house key that Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) placed on his key ring.

Chase Will Probably Drop A Hint To Mac Scorpio, And Wiley Might Rat Him Out

It’s likely that Chase will drop a hint to Mac Scorpio (John J York) about this, as he is the one leading the search for evidence against Michael. Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) might spill the beans on Chase, which could result in him losing his job.

This could be overwhelming for Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton), as Chase’s loyalty to Willow has been quite bothersome for her.

Moreover, she has expressed that she’s not moving forward with their adoption plans, and there are already numerous issues at play.

There could be more to her concerns than just ensuring her relationship with her and Dante’s son, Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), is stable enough to handle a new adopted sibling.

Eden McCoy Quitting The Show-A Big Maybe?

Eden McCoy (Josslyn Jacks), is reportedly leaving General Hospital; our source suggests that her departure may be linked to the same kind of circumstances that led Chad Duell to step away.

This likely refers to the passing of the actor who portrays Michael Corinthos’s father, prompting him to take a long-term break from GH to mourn and support his family. As you may recall, Eden’s mother passed away in November 2023 after a lengthy battle with cancer.

In mid-December, just five weeks after her mother’s death, we bid farewell to Joss for six weeks while Eden took a break.

The speculation now hints that she might be considering leaving the role of Josslyn altogether; we will have to wait and see if this comes to fruition.

Emma’s Returning

This leak aims to clear up a rumor-there’s talk that Braedyn Bruner is leaving GH as Emma Scorpio-Drake. The character left temporarily for San Francisco to inform her parents, Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) and Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson), about the Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) situation.

Emma is returning; she’s also confirmed to attend her granddad Robert Scorpio’s (Tristan Rogers) memorial service. We heard they were planning Robert’s memorial and his offscreen death around Kimberly McCullough and Emma Samms’ schedules, as they play Robin Scorpio and Holly Sutton.

However, there are rumors that Emma Samms might not be able to film, since she’s been dealing with long COVID and lives in England-we’ll have to wait and see.

Finola Hughes Is On An Extended Break-And Sonny And Valentin Will Team Up

Finola Hughes is on a long break, which is why Anna Devane is mostly offscreen-however, she is still under contract and will return to filming full-time as Anna this spring.

The leaker mentioned that Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) will continue Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) corrupt leadership at the WSB.

We also learned that the new Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) was recast specifically for the story involving Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

Additionally, the leaker stated that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Valentin will team up-this makes sense since Sidwell is connected to the WSB, suggesting Valentin shouldn’t collaborate with him.

Their partnership relates to the explosion at Sonny’s apartment that harmed Michael and aims to resolve lingering issues from the prolonged Pikeman storyline.

Scout’s Living Arrangements And Danny’s School Incident

The next leak reveals that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) are discussing where Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) should live long term.

The choices are either at Alexis’ home or the Quartermaine mansion to be near her brother, Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn).

The reason for this debate is unclear, but hints Drew might still be in trouble due to Willow’s drugging, or he could lose custody, and possibly Willow will face consequences for her actions.

This leak also mentions an incident at a school involving Jason Morgan, Danny Morgan, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), the PCPD officers, and a stunt actor.

The leaker indicated that Danny might be in danger-additionally, we learned that Jason is on a roof in March; this could relate to this storyline or his upcoming kidnapping.

True Or False-Or A Little Of Both

There’s a buzz that they might be exploring a new romantic interest for Jason, as it seems Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) return isn’t unfolding as the higher-ups anticipated.

According to our insider, Drew won’t find redemption through this Willow tournament storyline; rather, he’s set to change course and head in a new direction. If you were wishing for Drew to leave, that’s not on the table; he’s here to stay.

One particularly outrageous rumor suggests there could actually be two Nathan Wests (Ryan Paevey)—one genuine and one impostor. That’s wild, but intriguing, especially for Ryan to play, if it’s true!

Oh, NO—Not HIM Again!

Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) is not alive and will not be returning; we know that Anders Hove recorded audio for that episode with Anna in her room on Spoon Island.

He did the voice work for Cesar Faison remotely from Denmark, and he will not reprise the role in person on General Hospital. But now for the bad news-while Faison is not alive, the leaker claims his terrible son, Peter August (Wes Ramsey), is still around.

Honestly, this isn’t surprising since both Britt and Nathan were brought back and Wes already made a guest shot, but many GH fans are not happy about Peter August’s return.

Valentin Knows Peter Is Alive And Keeping It Secret Along With Other Secrets

The leaker also revealed that Valentin is aware Peter is alive and is keeping that along with other significant secrets. I can see him wanting to keep Peter’s survival under wraps.

Valentin has acted like a real father to Peter, being in his life almost since he was born—mentoring, protecting, and trying to keep him away from Faison. That’s due to the lingering guilt Valentin feels for his part in Faison getting to Peter.

That’s the complete rumor roundup-again, none of this is confirmed information from the show, just leaks from an insider with a solid track record. The only ones that we know are true are Steve Burton’s time off and Anders Hove not returning in person.
