Jeffrey Vincent Parise Makes Another Return To General Hospital!

Great news Carrrlos fans!  Fan favorite baddie, Jeffrey Vincent Parise will appear on-screen in Port Charles next week on General Hospital!

According to the news on Friday from ABC Soaps In Depth, while viewers last saw Carlos taunting Julian (William deVry) as a vision or figment of his imagination, this time the series is being tight-lipped as to just why Carlos is back on-screen.

Could it be Carlos comes back to haunt Julian yet again? Perhaps it will be Sabrina (Teresa Castillo) who gave birth to his child that Carlos will pop up for? Or, could it be Sonny (Maurice Benard) he has some choice words for from the great beyond, or perhaps Griffin (Matt Cohen) who gave the murderer last rites?  Many options!

In the future, many GH fans have hoped that Parise’s Carlos might actually have a never-heard-of-before twin that the powers-that-be could bring in to Port Charles, so the actor could have new life on the long-running series.  Time will tell.

So, what do you think Carlos will be mixed-up in next week on air?  Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

Matt Cohen must feel right at home on GH. There are more ghosts on this show than on Supernatural!

laughing out loud LOVE’ing him

” Many options! ”

it’s all about charismatic…. loaded presence and HE brings everyone’s A game in and around him

Keeper he IS

love to Jeffrey Vincent Parise

YUM

Patrick…Agree!

amen and well said

BRING HIM BACK–he is Carlos’ brother–the good one (!) with MORE passion–maybe he is a PRIEST?–LOL! But he can leave priest hood, fall for Sabrina, have a torrid love affair, get her pregnant again, rock the town! 🙂

Which begs the question as to why writers needed to kill him off twice…. or why they needed to kill off Michael Easton’s character so he could have a fourth one in the course of less than two years.

I like Jeffrey very much. But this is truly getting ridiculous. If he must appear for more scenes keep him as a ghost. Then, move on. Let him find a great role elsewhere where we can all enjoy his talents.

JVP like Duke should have never been killed! Duke is dead but Carlos’s brother that ONLY the sneaky ex Ugly Betty nurse knew existed shows up in town as a clean shaven good guy out to heighten the family name and make sure Julian rots in a jail cell! He drops a bomb on PC about Sabrina’s secret life that will eventually end in a jail cell OR a mental facility! Rejoice! Carson Rivera is in town and Sabrina is heading out!

Twin…not certain if i even care…Maxie will need a love interest when she catches Nathan and Claudette in a passionate embrace.-predictable-yawn..i know how about the return also of Levi Jeans Dunklemaniac-he never died but is crazy and knocks off half the cast-lol

Jimh …NO more Levi D, ever, not even in jest!!!

ok, lol

Glad he’s getting extra work but they never should have killed him in the first place. So much excess baggage needed disposing of instead (Aaron, Nurse Amy, Andre, Jordan, Rachel’s mother, T. J., Claudette, Officer Valerie) . Mr. Parise is a wonderful actor and deserves more than ghost stories. So do we.

ding ding ding ding freakin valerie first to go ding… lol…

Nope. Write better stories for Jordan, T.J., and Curtis. I’m enjoying having a black family on GH. If anyone needs to go, it’s Aaron & Sabrina.

Hey Wil, it is not about color, it is about them being horrible actors.

NEVER SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM! Never should have made him a killer. TOO MANY KILLERS already on GH.
Laura and Kevin are floating in a sea of ruin–LOL!

Please, I have repeatedly asked Frank to bring Jeffrey back as his twin brother (his good twin) or cousin or look-alike or whoever! Just bring Jeffrey back any way except dead! He’s too one note when he’s dead. Let him be the good brother looking for explanations for his brother’s death or looking for his nephew. You guys are good at making stuff up, that’s your job.

yeah, I cheerlead for his return

but… if you think to all the cast changes… returns newbies vets

can’t lie… JVP’ Carlos stands out

I marvel at how an actor can enervate other cast members and REEL

JVP work… with the likes of the much lauded STARS

only got that much better : Anna, Julian, Ava, Sonny, YES even Sabrina lit, Paul

this show is only as good as it’s STAR turns… Carlos … contributes and belongs

I love the idea that he’s Carlos twin… all spruced trimmed updo.. and not missing a beat and swag on

Patrick, let’s hope Frank actually reads these things and brings Jeffrey back!

I can’t see how anyone could think Frank reads any board whether this one or one of the others. He certainly doesn’t run the show as if he cares what anyone of us thinks…..

Love him! What a Awesome actor!!! Sounds like a plan !

Trish…Like your idea. Plus he would also want to finally see his nephew. But he can’t be too good…he’s got to have an edge so Jeffrey can show his stuff.

Rose, I totally agree. He can be furious over the loss of his brother. That will give him some edge.

Yes!

I am so very sick of this dyde returning from the dead. They shouldn’t have killed him if they continue to use him so much.

“Dude”

love love love Jeffrey Vincent Parise !!
He is an exceptional and Carlos adds excitement to GH
Carlos need to live on !!
He is one of GH’s best characters, he is out of the normal usual and I like that!!

I want officer Valerie to stay.

” i don’t know her” – Mariah Carey quote

that is so funny… Mariah “Scarey” waited this long to humor

truly good for her

I don’t care how they bring him back, just so he’s back again for however how long. I love this guy!

Bring him back as Carlos Twin Brother. That will be a great role. He was bad but he was so cool xoxo

So a dead guy gets more airtime than live ones? Seriously, I’ve seen enough of him already.

You and me both, Ces!!!! This is but another example of how one of “Frank’s Favorites” keeps coming back like a bad penny “just because” he likes them so much….the fact the character has more than run his course and worn out his welcome be damned! And, no, this isn’t a slam against JVP….he did a fine job as far a portraying a completely revolting, irredeemable dirtbag of an assassin, but enough is enough. Just let him gooooooo and be gone……please! (And no twin either…..unless he briefly pops up to for the sole purpose of spiriting away Sabs and “Teduardo” forever! Now that’s an idea I could support !!!!)

Teduardo!!! lmao!!! Love it! God, I wish they’d send Sabrina and that Crystal Gale hair off the canvas … she has about as much chemistry with Michael as Morgan does with Kiki the 2nd time around. None.
I think JVP is a capable actor but enough is enough. If you wanted to keep an actor around, then don’t kill them off every chance you get. I don’t want a twin, or a ghost, I want him gone off the show for good.
GH doesn’t seem to know how to move on.

Preach!

A twin who is FINALY revealed as Lily’s brother.

Yes!! The reverberations with Sonny could be epic.

Is it any wonder why GH hit an all time low? Enough already. Either leave him in the show or write him out. But this switching back and forth, we the views are sick of it already. Years ago, when they wrote someone out, due to death, they stayed dead. Now you just never know if they really died or not. I am waiting for the return of Helena once again. Boooooooooooring.

I hope he turns out to be alive—I always liked this actor and wanted to see some kind of redemption for him.

I don’t care how he comes back,just so he does come back. I think it would be great if he had a long lost twin. I love talent and good looks he has both.

I can’t believe how GH still has the residents of Port Charles moaning and groaning about the deaths of two criminals — Duke and Carlos — but continues to sweep AJ’s murder by leading man Sonny under the rug. Disgusting.

I loved Carlos and JVP is such a fine actor. As usual GH had to go and ruin the character. He is handsome, sexy and actually had chemistry with Sabrina. I was shocked that they had him killed . Here is hoping he was NOT dead and Dr Munro somehow let him live. Come back my handsome Carlos.

SEXY is right! And a great connection with the audience. TPTB sadly don’t know when they’ve a diamond among the rhinestones–LOL!

Bring him back as a new character. It’s been done before anyone remember Marco Dane/Dr. Mario Corelli : Stephen Clay/Silas Clay? I say sure, give him a chance

The difference in the examples you cited is that there were strong head writers telling the Marco/Mario and Stephen/Silas stories. Jean and Shelly haven’t even developed the characters they’ve introduced (Darby, Andre, Parker, Curtis, Amy, Finn, that boy with Christina) into anyone worth investing in. GH needs to be trimming its insanely huge cast, not adding to it.

I’ve heard that the actor is well loved by his costar and obviously the show runner but enough already with the character, this is so tirering. Move on . Carlos just like Julian are weasels!

Written as weasels–difference is that the actor playing Carlos connected with the audience while Julian did not–he’s just an impassive mask–an automaton–no connection with the audience–just a cardboard cutout.

I’m completely mystified as to what it is people like about this character. Nothing against the actor, but the character of Carlos is a scumbag and has never been anything but. He’s way too old to be believable as Sabrina’s first love, and there’s never been a time when he wasn’t pushing himself on her, using her, and endangering her in some way. Pushing a woman all the time isn’t romantic; it’s sleazy. And don’t even get me started on how he killed Duke and then taunted Anna into shooting him! Gotta love his holier-than-thou act when Anna’s crime was one of passion and his was a cold-blooded hit! Sheesh! To be honest, I can’t even say he’s physically attractive. His hair’s greasy, and it’s not like he has a good body to make up for his face. Just not easy on the eyes! Anyway, I find Carrrrlos so annoying that I fast forward through all his scenes. I was so relieved when they killed him off, and I truly hope he’ll stay dead, or else I guess it’s back to hitting the FF button for me!

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
