William Lipton, best-known for his role on Cameron Webber on General Hospital, put a lot of his heart and soul into the YA series, The Runarounds that streamed its first season on Prime Video after being released on September 1, 2025.

However, now comes word that Prime Video has opted not to renew the series for a second season which has Lipton and its epicenter in the role of Charlie. While the show is over, the real-life band will continue its tour till the end of June.

The Runarounds is comprised of Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher. The series was created by Jonas Pate, co creator of Outer Banks, and the show was inspired by the real-life band of the same name.

Taking to his Instagram on Friday, April 3rd was William Lipton who expressed his disappointment, but also gratitude on the end of the series that enveloped a good portion of the last 6 years.

Lipton shared, “No season 2 🙁 it’s a bummer but just wanted to express my deepest love and gratitude for everything and everyone involved with this project. It’s been an insane almost 6 years and my life has been forever changed for the better. Big thank you to everyone who watched and supported. We’ll catch you futhermuckers on the road got plenty more shows and more coming if y’all want💙 keep dreaming no small dream and write love songs that change the world.”

Michael Fairman TV spoke to William and the rest of the band during The Runarounds launch last fall, where he acknowledged his time on GH, stating, “I owe so much to that community. They gave me the faith that I can pursue something in this industry. I’ve learned so much from all the veteran actors there. I’m so grateful. I spent a good chunk of my life there. A good close to, I think, five to six years. So, I really grew up there. I hope they watch The Runarounds and enjoy it. There’s definitely little aspects of Cameron in Charlie.”

 

Previously, Will played Cameron Webber from 2018-2024, the son of Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). When Lipton left the show, Cameron went to college and was last seen in a December 2024 Christmas episode.

This all begs the question, should General Hospital reach out to William and bring Cameron Webber back to the canvas? If they did, who could play his love interest now? Do you ever see Cameron and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) getting back together years later? Weigh-in via the comment section below, but in case you missed it, check out our interview with Will and the rest of The Runarounds on the Michael Fairman Channel.

I would like for Cameron to come back and well as his 2 brothers. Elizabeth should have her children around.

I would love to see him come back but something tells me he probably as grateful as he is to the show has moved on, I’m not sure I want to see a recast at this time, but I prefer right now for the show to bring back Jake webber who would make more sense to have in the mix w/ Rocco, his brother Danny and Charlotte and it would be nice to have Hudson West come back, he was so good as a kid and wasn’t as appreciated when he grew up and was basically reduced to a day player.

Ah, that’s too bad. Although I wasn’t the target audience, I watched Runaways with my sons because I am a fan of William Lipton’s work. It was a solid series, and we found ourselves rooting for the band to make it. If he comes back to GH, I can’t see him in rekindling a romance with Joss. He could provide a triangle with Molly and Gio but better yet, one with Trina and her current boyfriend. ( sorry, his name escapes me).
.

He’s a talented musician, but he often overacts.

That is true. I remember thinking that when he went after Jason because he thought he had killed Franco, The way he screamed,” You killed FRANCO!”was kind of comical.

Younger performers sometimes take time to hone their acting skills. Hayley Erin had a rough start as Kiki but really grew over time. Giovanni Mazza had that cringe moment when Kristina fell into the pool, but he’s stepped it up big time.

Of course, there are some that never quite improve, but it being Easter, I won’t name names.

Oh yes for sure. He’s a talented and charismatic young actor who just tended to mug it up a bit from time to time. I noticed that he rose to occasion in scenes with Nicholas Chavez’s Spencer. And right, Giovanni has come a long way since he acted like he was watching a college prank as Kristina fell from the hotel window. I’m glad to admit I was dead wrong about Giovanni.

The current crop of kids are excellent including Bluesy Burke, Finn Carr and Asher Antonozyn. I don’t celebrate Easter so I don’t mind namedropping.

I hope he does return to GH. It would be nice for some of Elizabeth’s children to be on the show.

I really hope he comes back to GH. Miss him as Cameron. Elizabeth needs at least one of her kids on screen.

They sent Adien off with Lucky and never even showed him returning. I guess he’s stuck in a secret kitchen baking.

And Jake went to art school but never comes home for any breaks.

I hate that the writers think we forgot Elizabeth has three boys whom we loved seeing with her. The young actors who play these roles were super/ARE super!

GH is blessed with really great young actors. I’d venture to say the best in daytime. And while they have fantastic younger players front and center with Rocco, Danny, and Charlotte right now, I hope they can manage to bring in Elizabeth’s boys soon.

Hopefully cameron does return for a longer storyline this time around. Hopefully he doesn’t get back together with joss

So a TV show about a band of young kids who actually play instruments and write their own songs, and record them without that sickening autotune cancer – gets cancelled after one season?

Because of course… corporate America would despise such a thing. They have basically done all they can do to kill actual musicianship since the passing of the rancid Telecommunications Act of 1996 – the very same trojan horse which led to the existance of FAUX News, Clear Channel Radio, Sinclair Broadcasting, and allowed the likes of Simon Coward to take over TV.

Should Cam come back to Port Charles? Sure. Liz should have at least one of her kids around. And who knows? Maybe he and Joss could even get back together, once she gets over the whole “WSB Barbie” thing. Because that ain’t a longterm career strategy for her, and we all know it.

What an interesting, well written post with solid insights. I agree with all of your points. I mean, even The Archie’s and Josie and The Pussycats weren’t cancelled after one season and they were cartoons!

Maybe one season should’ve been enough. That would’ve saved us from the ridiculousness of “Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space”.

Ironically the Archies only became a “band” because Don Kirshner wanted a “do-over” of what he tried, and ultimately failed to do with The Monkees. Music in the 1960s had been dominated by the likes of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Brian Wilson. Musicians who wrote their own material. And he hated that. So he thought the “made for TV” Monkees were his salvation. Suddenly there was a band who would record all the songs that came from his stable of songwriters again.

It all worked well for the first couple of albums. Then the Monkees decided they wanted to be a real band. Play on their own records, and write their own songs. Kirshner was thrown overboard. So he needed a new group that couldn’t rebel against him. What could be better than a bunch of cartoons who have no ability to say “no” to him? Actually, Kirshner tried to get The Monkees to record “Sugar Sugar” and that’s when the rebellion started.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: If Jason Leaves the Mob, What Will He Do Next?

Steve Burton

As had been teased since Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) captivity by the WSB and his release on General Hospital, he is clearly having issues speaking about what happened to him, after he was dragged away from Port Charles when he took the fall for Rocco (Finn Carr) who shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

Now. as Jason tries to reacclimate to life back in Port Charles, he has already displayed that he wants to do better for his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and the people he loves and to show up for them.

In addition, things took a turn on the Friday, July 31 episode where after Sonny (Maurice Benard) questioned Jason if he was having an issue with Ric (Rick Hearst) working side by side with his half-brother, Jason had something to say.

An emotional Jason tells Sonny, “I can’t work for you anymore.” The moment left Sonny dumbfounded, and viewers won’t know the pick-up of the conversation till Monday’s August 3 episode of GH.

Could it be that this time Jason will cut ties with Sonny and the mob for good? If so, it would be the end of an era for Jason and Sonny, sort of the Batman and Robin of GH with a twist.

Previous teases from the GH co-head writing team of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, and Burton himself on his podcast That’s Awesome ,seem to indicate there is a change coming for Jason that sends him off in a different path in his life.

However, we should learn Jason’s reasons shortly, and if Sonny can talk him back into the mob, or can just wish Jason the best and let him go. But now the question becomes, if Jason exits life as Sonny’s right hand man and henchman, what do you see him doing with his life? We do know that Jason is aware that Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) has tied to the WSB, since he escorted him to Port Charles via Jakarta on the plane which may be a clue.

Weigh-in below: Do you want Jason to go work for the Quartermaines and truly join the family in full? Do you see him doing something to help those in need, or do you see him going undercover with the WSB to expose some of the treacherous things they perpetrated on him and others, or do you see Jason doing something completely different with his life? If so, what? Let us know your hopes and thoughts for Jason in the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ethan Lovett Hightails Out of the Country, Christian Howard Wraps His Stint

Christian Howard

That was quick! Christian Howard, who now looks to have literally stepped in for Nathan Dean to wrap up a few episodes for the character of Ethan Lovett made a quick exit on Friday’s July 31 episode of General Hospital.

GH viewers were stunned earlier this week on the Monday, July 27 episode when a voiceover announcer shared that Christian Howard was now playing Ethan Lovett. Next, Ethan hits the sheets with Ava Jerome, played by three-time Daytime Emmy-winner, Maura West. All seemed to be moving forward when suddenly at the end of the Thursday, July 30 episode, Ethan spots newcomer Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) at the Metro Court Pool, and makes a quick getaway.

Then, it’s revealed after packing his bags at Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) house, that out of nowhere, Ethan received a lead on an incredible opportunity so he has to say goodbye to Lulu and run out of town and was leaving Port Charles.

RUNNING OUT OF TOWN

In fact, Ethan was in such a hurry, he forgot to say goodbye to Ava who had been waiting for him at the Metro Court pool. There is clearly a connection to Hudson and baby Phoebe after Ethan spotted the guy, because Ethan also glanced over to the baby and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) at the Metro Court pool, before he ran to Lulu’s to pack his things. All of this points to Howard being an emergency recast for Dean.

It’s definitely been a week of change on-screen on the ABC soap with the news of Maxie, Spinelli, James, Georgie and Bailey all suddenly leaving Port Charles for Australia, after Spinelli got an offer he could not turn down.

That exit was written because Kirsten Storms is at this time,, and the very foreseeable future, not returning to General Hospital and is living in Tennessee. As she had documented via her Instagram stories and posts, she has been going through several personal ordeals. In addition to Storms, Ryan Paevey also exited the series earlier this month when he ended his run as Cassius Faison, while leaving the door open for his return down the line.

So, will newcomers Kelly Kruger (Serena Baldwin), Dean Geyer (Tristan Roberts) and Troy Lennon Appel fill the void of the multitude of exits? What are your theories on Christian Howard’s departure as Ethan Lovett on GH? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘Knots Landing’ Favorite Donna Mills Joins ‘OnlyFans’

Published

Donna Mills, who at 85-years-old is still turning heads, booking film and TV roles and co-hosting the We’re Knot Done Yet podcast with her Knots Landing pals, Michele Lee (ex-Karen) and Joan Van Ark (ex-Valene), is now joining the world of Only Fans.

The news came Mills herself in a statement, where she shared to Variety, “I’ve always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I’ve received from my fans over the years. Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected, but I’m excited to join OnlyFans because it offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection.”

While OnlyFans is primarily known for its steamy content, Mills is taking a different approach, explaining that she will be “sharing moments from my daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way. It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am.”

WHY DID DONNA MILLS JOIN OTHER CELEBRITIES ON ONLYFANS?

Andy Bachman, CEO Creators INC who presides over OnlyFans also shared in a statement, “This is not about changing who she is. It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love. Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time. She told me, ‘YOLO — let’s do it,’ and that perfectly captures her attitude. She is approaching OnlyFans on her own terms and creating a space that feels authentic, personal and completely true to her.”

Mill’s move to OnlyFans comes on the heels of others in Hollywood who are pivoting to the platform not only for its revenur, but to control their own narrative of what they want put out into the world about themselves. One example is Shannon Elizabeth of American Pie and Scary Movie fame, who told Variety that since April she has earned more than $1.2 million in seven days via her OnlyFans account.

FROM THE CUL DE SAC AT SEAVIEW CIRCLE TO PORT CHARLES

While Donna Mills is best- known for her role as Abby Cunningham Ewing on Knots Landing from 1980-1989, 1993, she also won a Daytime Emmy for her role of Madeline Reeves on General Hospital. Mills played the evil mother to Nina Reeves (then Michelle Stafford) and sister to Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) from 2014-2015 and again in 2018.

The veteran actress also had a leading role in the soap opera, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, where she and GH’s late, great sister, Leslie Charleson (ex-Monica Quartermaine, GH) played sisters Laura and Iris Donnelly from 1967-1970. Mills began her soap career on The Secret Storm back in 1966.

So, what do you think of Donna Mills joining OnlyFans? Do you think the once exclusive provocative content platform, which is going more Hollywood, will ultimately be where big named celebrity post their own content? Share your thoughts via the comment section below, and in case you missed it, you can check out the Michael Fairman Channel’s most recent chat with Donna Mills from earlier this year and our livestream with Donna, Michele and Joan from 2025 below.
