Here’s what’s coming up on “General Hospital” the week of January 4 to 8, 2016

“General Hospital” fans around the world will once again congregate in the Los Angeles/Glendale area next summer when they come together for the annual fan club weekend, which this year was held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Glendale. The weekend long event is scheduled from Thursday, July 28 through Monday, August 1.

Port Charles is getting ready to celebrate the holiday season in style – and with a few surprises. Here’s a sneak peek at “General Hospital’s” upcoming Nutcracker Gala, airing in December.

When news first hit the web in August 2012 of Duke Lavery being very much alive on ABC’s “General Hospital,” it not only became a trending topic in the United States on Twitter, but also worldwide. Nearly three years later, it looks like the character will be heading back to the grave as portrayer Ian Buchanan is said to have recently learned that the writers have plans to off the character once more. It would be a huge mistake on their part as it would defeat the entire purpose of resurrecting the character in the first place.

With word that Robb Derringer would be vacating the role of Special Agent Kyle Sloane on ABC’s “General Hospital,” it was anyone’s guess as to what the soap planned to do with the character. Enter “As The World Turns” alum Grayson McCouch (ex-Dusty Donovan).

“General Hospital” will be celebrating its 52nd birthday in 2015, and in honor of the continued success of the series, the official “GH” fan club will be holding its annual weekend where fans of the daytime drama series can meet and interact with the entire cast.

When it looked like “General Hospital’s” Sonny Corinthos would finally be paying for his crimes as he was set to serve some serious jail time for the murder of AJ Quartermaine, it looks like he’ll soon be released after time served with word that actor Maurice Benard has signed a new deal with the daytime drama series.

As previously reported, Brandon Barash is reprising the role of Johnny Zacchara on ABC’s “General Hospital” and it looks like he’s set to mark his return this week when Johnny comes face to face with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), at least that’s how it appears in the promo for this week’s worth of episodes. “Wait. What? Johnny’s back this week?!” tweeted Barash shortly after the promo was released.

As first reported by Soap Opera Network, actor Marc Anthony Samuel has confirmed that he’s now recurring on ABC’s “General Hospital” as Felix DuBois after being bumped from contract status. “Hey fans, thanks for the support. ‘GH’ is just a small part of a great and ongoing journey. Onward and upward!” wrote Samuel on his Twitter page. “To be clear guys, I’m recurring. Not on contract though,” he continued.

Fans have long wondered when “General Hospital’s” contract cast would be a receiving a trimming, as it’s widely known that the series has quite a large group of actors that make up the Port Charles canvas, but it was anyone’s guess whose status would be changed. Soap Opera Network has learned that actors Marc Anthony Samuel (Felix DuBois), Kelly Thiebaud (Britt Westbourne) and John J. York (Mac Scorpio) have all been placed on recurring status. In the case of Thiebaud and Samuel, their status change will be reflected in the on air credits in the coming weeks. York has been listed as a recurring cast member since early October.

In the case of Benard, it was in 2004 when the soap star and his wife, Paula, opened up to Oprah Winfrey about the private hell they’ve lived for years with the revelation that the soap star was living with bipolar disorder, which, at its worst, made him violent and suicidal. Nearly 10 years since the episode aired, “Where Are They Now?” followed the actor backstage on the set of “GH,” while viewers are introduced to his loving family, which includes daughters Cailey, Heather and Cassidy, and his very own “Mini-Me,” son Joshua.
