General Hospital LEAK: 3 Major Cast Exits, Shocking Kidnapping & Dreaded Character Return!!

General Hospital has got a major leak and rumor roundup and we want to share with you from a very reliable inside source. We have a huge kidnapping to talk about, three big exits, and one despicable character coming back that you’re going to absolutely hate to hear about.

We have the latest leaks for you. This is the same leaker who told us months before the reveal that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) is the one who killed Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco). They leaked Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) medical leave and Chade Duell quitting as Michael Corinthos before that all rolled out, and we’ve reported it here.

This source is legit and has a good track record. Remember, with leaks and rumors, these are not confirmed spoilers, but we trust the source enough to share it with you. Unless it’s direct from the network, we still call it a rumor.

Now, let’s get into it. Let’s start with those three exits. One of them you’ve probably heard about is Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), but we’ve got additional details. Another one we’ve mentioned before seems to be manifesting. The third is brand new, really shocking, and is being compared to Chad Duell’s exit.

Steve Burton’s Temporary Exit from General Hospital and Jason Morgan’s Kidnapping Plot

News recently broke that Jason Morgan is taking a couple of months—two to three months—off of GH to spend time with his family and his new wife, Michelle Lindström. We’re going to have maybe 12 weeks of no Jason Morgan in Port Charles. That is not a rumor; that is definitely happening.

We have some details on his exit. The good news is that it is not another fake death story as Jason Morgan leaves. He has already taped his last episode, and our leaker said he needs the time to move from California back to Tennessee. He’ll be back to taping as Jason Morgan in late May or early June, which puts him on air roughly in July.

To facilitate Steve Burton’s exit, our leaker says that Jason is going to be kidnapped. That’s not totally surprising, but what is surprising is that it’s not Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) or the dirty WSB director, Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), who kidnaps Jason. We will talk about this kidnapping in its own video coming soon, so check back for that.

Is Harrison Chase Leaving General Hospital? Detective Harrison Chase’s Future in Port Charles

The other exit that was leaked before is now feeling like it’s about to happen. We shared a while back that our leaker said Harrison Chase is leaving Port Charles and Josh Swickard will be leaving General Hospital. That rumor feels timely because Chase was demoted to beat cop and his marriage is hitting the skids soon.

Plus, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) warned Chase to stay out of Michael’s investigation, but Chase is already in it because of Drew Cain Quartermaine’s (Cameron Mathison) house key. I suspect Chase is going to drop a hint to Mac Scorpio (John J York) about that because he’s the one overseeing the search for evidence against Michael.

I suspect Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) may rat Chase out, and then he could end up losing his job. That might be too much for Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) because Chase’s devotion to Willow has really irked his wife. Plus, BLQ isn’t moving forward with adoption plans and there are already a lot of issues there.

Josslyn Jacks Exit Rumors: Is Josslyn Jacks Saying Goodbye to GH?

The third exit shared by the leaker is huge and one I didn’t see coming: Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). Our source says Eden McCoy is leaving General Hospital, potentially for the same reason as Chad Duell did. I think that’s a reference to the Michael Corinthos actor’s father dying, after which he decided to step away from GH long-term to grieve and be with his family.

If you remember, Eden’s mom passed away in November 2023 after a more than two-year battle with cancer. In mid-December, about five weeks after her mom died, we said goodbye to Joss for six weeks when Eden McCoy took some time off. The rumor seems to indicate that she may be ready to leave the role of Josslyn full stop. We’ll see if that manifests.

Emma Drake Returns for Robert Scorpio’s Memorial Service on General Hospital

This next leak is to dispel another rumor floating around. There’s chatter that Braedyn Bruner is leaving GH as Emma Scorpio-Drake. The character exited temporarily to go to San Francisco and tell her parents, Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) and Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson), about the Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) crisis. Anything you see about Emma leaving the soap is clickbait.

Emma is coming back. She’s also already confirmed to be present for her granddad Robert Scorpio’s (Tristan Rogers) memorial service. Regarding that service, we had heard they were scheduling Robert’s memorial and Robert’s offscreen death around Kimberly McCullough and Emma Samms’ schedules.

They play Robin Scorpio and Holly Sutton. However, rumor has it Emma Samms may not be available to film. The Holly Sutton actress has been battling long COVID for a while and she lives in England. I hope Emma Samms can be there as Holly, but we’ll see.

Anna Devane GH Update and the Sonny Corinthos and Valentin Cassadine Collaboration

An update on Finola Hughes: she is still on an extended break. That’s why Anna Devane is offscreen for the most part. However, Finola is still on contract. She will be filming this spring as Anna again full-time.

The leaker also said Cullum is picking up where Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) left off with his corrupt reign as head of the WSB. We also heard that when they recast the new Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke), it was specifically for this Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) story.

The leaker also said Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Valentin are going to join forces. That makes sense because Sidwell is in bed with the WSB, which means Valentin probably shouldn’t work with him. The Sonny and Valentin collab ties into the bomb at Sonny’s apartment that burned Michael and is also supposed to tie up loose ends from the long-dragging Pikeman storyline.

Scout Cain’s Living Situation and a High-Stakes Incident for Danny Morgan

The next leak tidbit is that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) debate where Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) should live long term—whether it’s at Alexis’ house or at the Quartermaine mansion to be close to her brother, Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn). It’s unclear why they are hashing this out. It points to Drew still being locked in, or him losing custody, and maybe Willow going away for what she’s done.

This next leak is about an incident at a school, and it includes Jason Morgan, Danny Morgan, Dante Falconeri, and Alexis Davis, plus the PCPD cops and a stunt actor. The leaker said Danny may be in trouble. Plus, we heard that Jason is up on a roof in March. Maybe it’s for this plot or his upcoming kidnapping.

New Romance for Jason Morgan and Drew Cain Quartermaine’s Dark Pivot on General Hospital

There’s a rumor that they may be testing out a new love interest for Jason because allegedly Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) comeback isn’t going quite as the powers that be hoped. I love Kelly Thiebaud and Britt is always fun. I personally love Jason and Britt together, so I hope it’s not true, but I report all the rumors, even the ones I don’t like.

Our source says Drew will not be redeemed with this Willow tournament story. Instead, he is going to pivot and go off in a different direction. If you were hoping Drew was going to exit, that’s not happening; Drew sticks around. One particularly wild rumor is that there might actually be two Nathan Wests (Ryan Paevey)—a real one and a fake one.

Is Peter August Alive? The Latest GH Casting Leaks and Resurrections

We have some good news and bad news on resurrections and casting. First, the good news: the leaker said Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) is not alive and is not coming back. We know they had Anders Hove taping audio for that episode with Anna in her room on Spoon Island. He did that Cesar Faison voice work remotely from Denmark, and Anders Hove is not coming back to reprise the role in person on General Hospital.

But here’s the bad news. Faison’s not alive, but the leaker says his awful son, Peter August (Wes Ramsey), is. To be honest, I kind of suspected that might happen since Britt and Nathan were both revived, but I know a huge pile of GH fans do not want Peter August back.

The leaker also said that Valentin knows Peter is alive and is sitting on that and some other big secrets. I could see him keeping it secret that Peter is alive. Valentin has been like a real dad to Peter. He’s been in Peter’s life practically since birth—mentoring him, protecting him, and trying to shield him from Faison because of the residual guilt Valentin had for his role in Faison getting his hands on Peter.

That’s the whole rumor roundup. Again, none of these are confirmed spoilers, just leaks from an insider with a really good track record. We will wait to see what manifests from this latest round of leaks.
