General Hospital : Ins and Outs

by

These are all according to Soaps IN Depth.

genie-francis1.jpgGenie Francis return as Laura last November was a rating booster for the Port Charles soap could very well be a sign that she might come back in May but TPTB said there is not immediate scheme to have Genie reprise her most loved character. Not that the President knows anyway. Genie has expressed desire in coming back during the summer. She would love to be able to come and go as Anthony Geary does with his character Luke.

This would be awesome. With Scotty back, the storyline among Luke, Laura and Scotty will surely burn out TV monitors again. The time that Luke and Laura aren’t in the canvas, well they could always just say they’re on their honeymoon again making up for all the years that Laura spent catatonic in the hospital. But of course they have to write something clever to get rid of Tracy in that background. Oh that’s going to be fun :).

lorenzo_alcazar.jpgTed King has confirmed, he’s leaving his Lorenzo Alacazar character after more than 4 years of portrayal. He said it’s time for him to go. He needs to stretch as an actor and take on a new role. There are no available news on how Alcazar will meet his demise.

This is understandable. I remember Ted as Prue’s love from that now defunct WB turned CB network, CHARMED. Oh how I loved that show. Especially when Shanned Dougherty was still on. Well I wish King all the best. As for his character, I hop TPTB doesn’t kill him off. With Skye and Lila Rae in his life it would be nice to have this mob family go on. Just recast the role, I’d be happy with that. If they decide to off him, I’m guessing it would probably be in conjunction with all the cargos and whatever Sonny is up to these days.

gina_tognoni.jpgThis last news is making me all giddy. Gina Tognoni, ex Kelly from OLTL who was recasted as Dinah in Guiding Light(CBS) might be coming back to ABC when her contract with GL ends in July. The question is which ABC soaps. Will she reprise her Kelly role over at Llanview or be a recast for the much loved GH character, Brenda. Insiders say GL is anxious to keep Gina but I’m hoping she comes back to ABC. I love her. She is such a great actress.

If she decides to show up in Port Charles as Brenda, she would definitely be sparring once again with Laura Wright. The latter is ex Cassie from Guiding Light. They were the reasons I was switching channel for that 3pm time slot. OLTL is also calling her to return as Kelly which will be awesome. She was so good in that role but I don’t know how they would write that story coz when Kelly left Llanview, it was supposed to be because she was joining Kevin in Europe. Maybe things didn’t work out so she left Kevin for good this time? Who knows. There’s also a rumor that she might not be a Brenda recast, but a new character that would mix into Jax/Carly/Sonny triangle. I hope it’s not as Sonny’s new lover. I don’t want that. I want her to be Jax’s ex from years ago who has come to PC to reclaim him hence making room for Sonny and Carly to finally get back together and walk into the sunset with their boys.I don’t want another woman in the canvas to get in between the Carly/Sonny legacy. It has been done before. Don’t you think?

Oh who knows, I just hope Gina comes back to ABC so I don’t have to keep switching channels :).
