‘General Hospital’ (GH) The Road Ahead: Major Storyline Shake Ups, Morgan Hospitalized, Ric Arrested

Want to know what’s coming in Port Charles weeks in advance? We’ve dug up all the dirt for you in this ‘General Hospital’ spoiler update – here’s what’s coming this Fall on GH!

First, expect a major shake up in storylines now that Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman officially have their hands on the tiller – Ron Carlivati’s last writing, according to IMDB, aired on August 18th – so it’s all about the new co-head writers from here on out. Even if you were a Carlivati fan, we can all agree that the plots have been stale recently, so this is great news for GH fans.

For starters, there will be a lot more of the grown-ups in Port Charles and a lot less of the little kids who will be back seated into ancillary roles. Second, the five big PC families – Quartermaine, Spencer, Cassadine, Corinthos and Scorpio – will be part of one big plotline that will launch in the coming weeks that will be mob and law enforcement centric.

Plus Kiki Jerome [Hayley Erin] and Maxie Jones [Kirsten Storms] can expect to see their characters beefed up and Morgan Corinthos [Bryan Craig] will be getting more screen time. There are also some new and familiar faces headed back to Port Charles. Vincent Irizarry is rumored to have been cast as Nathan West’s [Ryan Paevey] mystery day – Valentin Cassadine – the most evil of the Cassadine clan.

Kristina Corinthos-Davis [Lexi Ainsworth] is headed back to PC in time to see her dad Sonny Corinthos [Maurice Benard] get re-hitched to Carly Corinthos [Laura Wright]. Three more returns include Robert Scorpio [Tristan Rogers], Anna Devane [Finola Hughes] and Kyle Sloane [Robb Derringer]. Sloane will be back just long enough to wrap things with Anna and be killed off.

Robert may be back in Port Charles’ law enforcement – remember he was chief of the PCPD – if Jordan Ashford [Vinessa Antoine] is fired, Scorpio could helm the ship again. Anna is going to try and get the Mayor ousted while exposing Sloane and Nikolas Cassadine’s [Tyler Christopher] involvement in the rigged mayoral election. Anna and Robert also have concerns about their daughter.

Morgan will spiral into mental illness and end up hospitalized, but Michael Quartermaine [Chad Duell] will be a source of strength for him. Sonny and Jake Doe [Billy Miller] will share some screen time and may start bonding despite Sonny’ initial reservations. Jake and Sam Morgan [Kelly Monaco] will grow closer as they continue to work against Nikolas. They will find a way to get ELQ back to Mikey.

Nikolas continues his evil arc and, rumor has it, will accept Hayden Barnes [Rebecca Budig] as his queen and they will be the next PC power couple. Helena Cassadine [Constance Towers] is headed back to PC for a brief stint to reveal some secrets. What will she think of Hayden? Hmm… Helena may have two spies in town – Spencer Cassadine [Nicolas Bechtel] and Jake Spencer [James Nigbor].

Looks like little Jake may not have emerged unscathed from Helena’s custody – in fact, she may have sent him to town to be her little droid. Interesting… Look for Brad Cooper’s [Parry Shen] parents to show up, both adopted and biological. Looks like neither may have a clue that Brad is gay and he’ll have to facing losing Lucas Jones [Ryan Carnes] if he doesn’t come clean.

Ric Lansing [Rick Hearst] will not stay put as DA since he will be arrested by Nathan for gaslighting Nina Clay [Michelle Stafford] and trying to steal her money. Ric’s co-conspirator Madeline Reeves [Donna Mills] will be locked up for killing Silas Clay [Michael Easton]. That leaves Nina all alone with Franco [Roger Howarth] and they can finally explore their relationship.

Lulu Spencer [Emme Rylan] will get way too close to Dillon Quartermaine [Robert Palmer Watkins] and Dante Falconeri [Dominic Zamprogna] will get justifiably jealous. Wild rumors persist that Valerie Spencer [Brytni Sarpi] will turn up pregnant and Dillon will offer to pretend the baby is his – at least for a while until he gets closer with Lulu.
