General Hospital: Lulu’s Shocking Plot Twist, Carly’s Devastating News & 2 Characters Die!!

General Hospital fans, we have got another rumor roundup for you from a credible inside source that we get leaks from. We’re going to chat about a major twist for Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening), a shocker for Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) I didn’t see coming. And two big deaths ahead, including a particularly shocking exit predicted.

We’re going to dive into all the scoop from our source. Our source has a very good track record. They dropped Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) as Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) killer way ahead of time, Chad Duell’s exit as Michael Corinthos. And just lots of confirmed stuff. A lot of their stuff pans out and that’s why I keep sharing it. Plus, we all love gossip and leaks. But as always, these are not official spoilers from the ABC network. I refer to these leaks as rumors unless and until they’re confirmed.

Will Kelly Monaco Return to General Hospital as Sam McCall?

With that caveat, let’s dive in. First, we’ve got an update on a past leak that we shared. There was talk about bringing back Kelly Monaco to GH and we’ve got some additional info on how this has gone. Rumor has it, the source says that Sam McCall‘s return was an idea floated by somebody at ABC Disney.

They thought it would help ratings and pick up some lackluster storylines. But that same inside source says that Frank Valentini shut it down and said he didn’t want Kelly Monaco back. I’d like to have Sam back, but if you ever saw the little clip after Kelly Monaco taped her very last scene, everybody was there because she had been on the soap for two decades.

Everybody was there. She finished her last scene and everybody clapped. She took a little bow. Everybody but Frank clapped. I’ve seen the video, so I just doubt he would relent on this.

Dante and Elizabeth Chemistry Tests and Becky Herbst Exit Rumors

Related to this, our source says they heard chatter that GH might be chemistry testing Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). They do have scenes together this week, so watch for a flirty vibe and see if this is true.

Another source said that Rebecca Herbst may be leaving. General Hospital barely uses her, so in that regard, I think that is plausible. However, Liz and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) seem ready to rekindle, so it would be strange to flip her to Dante. Liz and Ric just had a date and they kissed. I hope Liz sticks around and so does Ric. And they put Dante with somebody else.

GH actually let Rebecca Herbst go years ago, but then the soap caved in the face of a huge outpouring of fan outrage. They put her back on contract. I think there was a six or eight-week gap between when they asked her to leave, the fan outrage. And then them backing down and bringing her back.

I would be interested to see if GH had the stones to try it again. If they were going to get rid of Becky, having her and Ric leave town together makes sense, but hopefully, it won’t happen.

Jonathan Jackson’s Limited Return as Lucky Spencer

Our source says Frank Valentini wanted Jonathan Jackson back as Lucky Spencer, but Jonathan Jackson said no to any long-term return because his family is in Nashville and it’s just too hard.

We talked before in our last rumor roundup about Eden McCoy possibly leaving as Josslyn Jacks. The source said it might be a case like with Chad Duell grieving the death of a parent, as Eden McCoy’s mom died after a struggle with cancer.

Now we’ve got more info from the leaker. And the insider says Eden McCoy decided not to renew her contract and that General Hospital would be recasting the role of Josslyn Jacks.

Josh Swickard and Harrison Chase Exit Rumors

We got more confirmation saying Josh Swickard is definitely leaving and that Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) will be written out. Although the source has confirmed it three times now, I’m still going to call Josh Swickard’s exit a rumor because it hasn’t been confirmed by the actor himself, the soap, or the network.

If you’ve noticed, Finola Hughes is no longer listed in the contract section of the GH credits. We had some clarification from the source on that. They said the Anna Devane actress is the one who requested to be taken off contract. It was reportedly Finola Hughes’ request.

Steve Burton Jason Morgan Return Date and New Contract Details

Speaking of recent exits, we have an update on Steve Burton. It is now confirmed that we have another four weeks of Jason Morgan, give or take a couple of days, until late March. That is info straight from the actor, so it is confirmed.

Our leaker told us that Steve Burton signed a new contract before he left. Steve Burton then confirmed he would be back taping Jason scenes in June. His contract would have ended before then, so it makes sense that he would have inked a new deal before going out.

We also heard that Steve wasn’t happy with his storyline or the Jason Morgan and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) pairing. And that may be why the rumor from our source says they’re testing a new love interest for Jason.

Kelly Thiebaud said in an interview that she was shocked when she heard Steve Burton was leaving for so long. The Britt Westbourne actress said she confronted Steve Burton, and when she heard his reasons for leaving the role of Jason temporarily, she understood but felt really let down. Kelly said it’s been really hard and she’s sad that he is leaving.

Debunking General Hospital Casting Rumors for Gio and Emma

Just real quick before we get to the death info and the huge Lulu Spencer and Carly Corinthos Spencer news, I want to debunk a couple of things. First, there’s a rumor Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) is leaving GH. His contract should be up for renewal in April. And the scoop says that his rumored final air date is mid-June.

This is from somebody who’s not my usual leaker. It’s somebody else whose track record I don’t have a way to verify because they’re new on my radar. I’m taking that with a whole block of salt. There’s also been chatter that Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) was out for good. That was just clickbait nonsense.

Be careful what channels you decide to go read outrageous headlines on. Brayden Bruner is sticking around as Emma. That’s been confirmed. That’s another reason I doubt Gio’s leaving because they need a younger set and those two are coupled up.

Two Major Onscreen GH Deaths and WSB Storyline Conclusion

Let’s talk deaths. There are supposed to be two onscreen deaths, one in the spring and one in the summer. I think the source specified “onscreen” to not confuse it with the upcoming offscreen deaths of Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and Lesley Webber (Denise Alexander).

We’ve heard that the Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) thing wraps in April, so one of them may die. Hopefully Sidwell. Related to that, the leaker said the WSB story is going to wrap up sooner than they had initially planned. Fan fatigue is my guess; it has been dragging.

Carly Spencer’s Discovery and the Willow Tait Feud

Now, let’s talk about Carly and then Lulu. The leakers said that Carly is going to figure out what happened to Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) or figure out that he’s trying to communicate. That would be cool because Carly would probably think he deserves his fate.

On the flip, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) has done Michael dirty. I think Carly’s hatred for Willow will outweigh her hatred of Drew and she’ll intervene. I certainly hope this leak turns into a big fat spoiler because Carly would blow Willow’s life up and it would be fun to watch.

Lulu Spencer Storyline Pivot and Nathan West Investigation

There are reportedly some tweaks made to Lulu’s storyline. Originally, according to the source, she and Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) were going to be sneaking around having a fling behind everybody’s back. Lulu and Nathan would be outed at some kind of public event and it would cause issues for Lulu and Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms). Then Lulu would be angry and lash out, winding up in trouble like the hotheaded Lulu of the past.

Reportedly, the writers have now done a big pivot. Lulu is still going to have that crush on Nathan and she’s going to go dig into finding out what happened to him in these missing seven years. The new storyline reportedly has Lulu winding up in danger as a result of this investigation and needing to be rescued.

Another storyline note says that some villain is going to need Rocco Falconeri (Finn Frances Carr) and Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) DNA for something. They only have Lulu in common because both have different dads. Also, we heard Britt makes a significant sacrifice and that might tie into Rocco or to Nathan. Stay tuned to see which of these rumors turns into a spoiler.
