General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Detective Sexy Pants Save Maxie From Dunkleman?
Photo Credit: HutchinsPhoto.com
What a headline, eh? So, on ABC’s General Hospital it has become apparent that Levi Dunkleman (Zachary Garred) is not on the up and up! And from the looks of it he is setting up Nathan (AKA Detective Sexy Pants) to take the fall, making it look as if he is the one who turned Levi into the immigration authorities causing him to be deported back to Australia!
After Maxie (Kirsten Storms) threw Nathan (Ryan Paevey) out of her apartment (where he has been living) and now is promising to go back to Australia with Levi, can the detective get Maxie to see the error of her ways? That he is the good guy and not duplicitous Levi? Can Nathan win her heart, when it is oh-so-apparent, that these two are drawn to each other?
In a preview for this week’s upcoming episodes of GH, Nathan talks with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) at the PCPD trying to go over the evidence to prove that Levi is the one who called the authorities, but in the end Nathan feels like they don’t have any solid proof!
Watch the clip after the jump and then weigh-in! Are you now rooting for Nathan and Maxie to get-together as one of the shows next favorite couples? Do you hope they find a way to get Levi out of Port Charles for good?
Levi has to go. What an unappetising, ridiculous and annoying character.
duh .. yah ..
If you haven’t noticed..
The Dunkleman is in disguise..
The hair, accent and ugly shirts are not the real Dunkleman’ ..
Wait for it …. the unveil ..
There is different man behind the curtain ..
Maxie gives credibility to the term “Dumb Blonde”
I agree; just a total waste of air-time. Ugh.
I agree with all of you Levi is a jerk I knew He was trouble from the moment he entered gh What really made me angry was him fooling maxie pretending to be Australian. I hope he gets killed so Maxie can finally be happy with Nathan the way it should be. How can Maxie not love Nathan after all the wonderful things he has done lying to the judge so she can get custody of her daughter. That is true love. If I were Maxie I would want to be with Nathan because he is special man.
And it would be awesome to see Maxie squaring it off with Muter!
Yes, Mathan would be a great couple…get rid of Dunkelman…the dude has a weird body it freaks me out…keep his shirt on from now on please
Would it help to know that Levi Dunkleman was really born a girl named Levita Dunklewoman…lol
LMAO
I cant stand levi he is got to be the most aggravating character ever with his prissy actions and stupid outfits. He could be a new love for brad lol. I dont know why he gets so much air time its caused me not to watch as much.also since they put so much foundation makeup on him why cant they give him some eyelashes. he could pass as a jody foster drag queen haha!
LOL
OK JimH
you win again… outright hysterical
Levi has grown on me… because he’s an enervating oddity
Maxie chose him… for some reason… Nathan is obvious… drool some
but… it’s a quirky threesome that, as posted below… if the writers have it in them… to explore… this new trio…. GO FOR IT
three actors… who are on par… not overdoing it… overloading… one another… just their… to be
heck… if for nothing else… it gives us, the audience a chance… to see Nathan ACT… and surprise surprise… he emotes with Levi
so what if he connects
first: Levi…not Levy! ahem…
I agree Patrick. I’m loving the three of them…I think the exchanges between Levi and Nathan are quite comical.
And yes, Nathan’s quirky…but I’m not sure yet if that is truly his personality or part of his plan. Either way, I think he’s playing the part well…and if they decide to keep him, maybe even redeem him…could be fun. I think he’s good-looking and as usual; guess I’m a softie for Aussies…
oh man!!!! what is wrong with me these days! (guess other things on my mind than soaps…)
sigh. I meant Levi is quirky…not Nathan.
Michael…I BESEECH THEE…edit or delete button???? Is that possible to add???
bwhahahahahah
i can’t stand his tank tops!
Sexy pants is a keeper great chemistry between Kirsten & Ryan can This be another super couple ala scrubs
ahah seriously?
”super couples” are rare, very rare and few..
And it take a 10 year run or so to even be in the category of a ”super couple” and then it could be ify ..
So answer; No ..
Not at all really. Most supercouples from the past were named that after a year or two….think back to the 80’s when the term was coined. Almost every couple on DAYS had supercouple status between 1984-1988. Another World had several. Santa Barbara had several and it wasn’t even on the air for 10 years. All it takes is writers who will go full tilt doing some super writing for couples and making the audience care. Alas…romance is all too rare on soaps these days. Most couples on GH today make me want to gag….Sonny and anyone…Carly and Franco…Julian and Alexis…etc.
This guy can never be part of a super couple because he just can’t act. The fact that he is referred to as “Sexy Pants” just amplifies the point that he is just there to be looked at. And it’s nothing personal and I really don’t want to be mean. From the interview I saw with him, RP seems like a very nice guy, but he is in over his head and as a viewer I expect to see quality acting on a show like GH.
For a guy that came to the show with very little acting experience, and has been given a lot of scenes right off the bat, I think Ryan Paevey has done a pretty good job overall. He’s not great by any means, but there’s definitely something there to work with.
I mean, obviously, we know the main reason he was brought to the show. He has abs you can grate cheese on, which I think they must be contractually obligated to show at least 3 times per week, lol.
When he first showed up, I wanted not to like him, but he’s grown on me. And I like him and Maxie together as a potential couple.
Kristin Storms deserves better. She could ignite chemistry with a Chia Pet and clearly makes RP rise to the occasion (no word play intended).
As far as Levi is concerned, I feel sorry for the actor because clearly he is a walking plot device. You’re supposed to detest him and the more you do so, the better Robocop looks and hence, you will be rooting for Maxie and Robocop.
@GH50….While I can understand your views on RP’s shortcomings in the acting department, I honestly have seen a subtle improvement in his abilities. It really seems to depend upon with whom he is involved in his scenes. He does a better job with some characters than others….yes, he was extremely green when he started, but I do believe he is slowly but surely adjusting to the demands of the show, and I say this as one of those rare females who is not completely blinded by his looks. Yes, I can admit he is a handsome guy, but far from being the most gorgeous to ever trod a soap opera canvas, in my opinion! Having said that, I would like to know why it is permissible to constantly pick apart RP’s obvious lack of acting experience when one of the worst ever performers on a soap has not only been totally propped in a lead capacity for the better part of two years, but is now being hailed for her upcoming return to GH…yes, I am referring to Sobby the Insipid Nurse. There has never been one iota of her demonstrating any kind of promise in upping her most rudimentary approach to acting, and yet we are all supposed to kneel down and kiss the ground because she is soon to be back to once again drag down the program with her less than skillful dramatics. Just had to ask…..
To have a supercouple the most important thing is two have two talented actors..Kristen is great but Ryan is nice to look at but he is like a pill..HARD to swallow..Sorry these two characters never will be a supercouple…Bring Johnny back and pair him with Maxie..That can be a super hot couple!!
Levi needs to go! Naxie/Mathan all the way! Nathan needs Dante’s help because he is too in love with Max(love that he calls her that) to gather the necessary evidence. The Immig guy was paid bt Levi, the call to Immig was probably only a few seconds, and they need to grab Levi’s phone to show he called the judge!!!
Love love love Nathan. He’s the nicest character on the show!! Maxie needs to wake up but we all know Nathan will rescue her in the nick of time. It’s Ratings gold for GH!!! Levi is connected to Mac somehow
If he is connected to Mac somehow…it sure would be nice to actually see Mac once in a while!!
OH… thats too funny… because.. Mac can’t stand Levi
it’s all he can take for his baby doll Maxie…
I love him and his fatherhood
if this gives us a chance to see more big Mac… I’m there
I love his feeling… for “his” daughters
Robin
Georgia
Maxie
’nuff said
along with his lovely Felicia
more than a STAND UP guy
I agree; I like Mac. He can be very funny. Where is Felicia?
Maxi has been written dumbdown like Tracy…she most likely will elope with Levi(i think Levi is the son of Richard Simmons and that other clown that appeared for one episode on GH in the 1980s-Daffy Doodle, if any remember)…i want Levi and Rosalee to become a couple and depart for parts unknown…and please, in the meantime, keep Levi’s shirt on…im sick of gagging…lol
I totally agree about the shirt!!!!!!!!!!! BLEAH!!!!!!
he does have an agenda!!!!
oh, it surprised me to no end… to see him in all his glory boxer briefs
I’ll take more… with the rest of the cast
Levi is a disarming character… working his act… and nuance
imbibing with gusto
his foreign integrity emboldens his reason to adjust and free his self
hello Levi
Now i hear Morgan will be paired with Rosalee…PLEASE, NO…Morgan deserves better…id settle with Morgan and a Sabrina pairing but not Rosalee…
What in the name of Sam Hill did Morgan do to deserve either Gross-alie or Sappy? I know he is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but good gravy the poor guy can certainly do better than either one of those she-meeeees. They are like the flip sides of the same coin (Evil/Evil and Goody/Goody…) and neither is good enough for Morgan! Better to put him back with Kiki….at least they have things in common and some basic chemistry!!!!
Never mind the shirt– tell him to keep his pants on– if I see him in his briefs one more time, with nothing left to the imagination, if you know what I mean, I might not just gag but lose my lunch— some men look really sexy in their underwear, but not this guy.
I’m cracking up-the son of Richard Simmons!!! I know; I hate what the writers have done to Tracy. It’s sad when the village idiot-Kiki-appears to be brighter than Tracy.
Rosalie and Levi would be great together they have sooo much in common. That way they can’t ruin any other character’s lives. LOL
I agree, from day one I’ve been saying he has to go. This guy gets on my nerves. All he wants is a green card!
pfffttt
he most likely is a citizen..
He is con man.. and the accent is phoney, all in his game.. yup!
I think you should call nathen detective sexy abbs. He and maxie are cute to gether
I would tell the actor… ryan/Nathan
no longer pose for the camera… those stills… we Know
just have at her… assert your needs
quell nothing… just get some
it’d disarm the audience… as it’s fixed with his looks
ahaaa..
I am loving that Dunkleman guy!!
Poor guy. Anyone with the name ”Dunkleman” has to get some pity.. gotta love the humor in that name.
Anyways– of course Nathan will save Maxie and he then be her hero ..
I just hope they won’t be a couple..
couples are doomed for tragedy after the first kiss and worse of all are BORING.
People who hate the the Dunkleman’ , just don’t ”get it” ; poor souls.. 🙂
Well, maybe if there is a shocking twist and Levi turns out to be a transexual who was born a woman named Levita that might make him or her more interesting…lol
No!!!! One Zarf on an ABC soap was more than enough!!!
LOl. You my friend are very funny, I think you are watching, too much Jerry Springer episodes.
hi jimh
No way is Dunkleman a Levite, he is- The Dunkleman!!!
You do realize- GH is the only soap ever to have a Dunkleman !! Yup,
Yes!…. Da` Dunkleman is ours all ours!
I get a kick outta that guy!! 🙂
(I might have to get Da` Dunkleman T-Shirt !)
Su….with all due respect…you are either Ron Carlivati in disguise….or you have the most potent happy pills on Earth!!!! I’ll take 1500 milligrams please!!! I want to watch this show through your eyes and see how you can possibly love everything about it!! LOL. I will agree with you that anyone named Dunkleman deserves a bit of leeway…along with some chuckles and guffaws…but that’s as far as I go.
Hey Johnny!
That Dunkleman guy is a riot! I get more than few laugh off him..
If people could get the past hate and see the guy as he is he is funny in a strange way ahaaa..
His fake accent, the one that fools maxie, is as phoney as Republican speech..
anyways, I the Dunkleman guy .. lol
if people can not see the humor in him, well I feel sorry for them and they take the soap BS way to seriously 🙂
pssstttt it’s only all make believe, yup I swear it is .. have fun!
@su0000…”Dunkleman’s” accent is not fake. He’s Australian in real life.
When I read Dunkleman I unconsciously read Dunkin Doughnuts which leads me to wonder if Su000 is one doughnut short of a dozen.
GH has a lot of Dunklmans in its cast…they just have different last names…lol
@Harry…LOL
It was pretty obvious Levi wasn’t on the up and up from Day 1. The character was clearly designed to annoy from the start in order to push Nathan and Maxie together. The problem for me is Maxie has been so dumbed down as a character and Nathan so undeveloped that I really can’t feel much spark from either of them as a couple. They’re OK…not in your face annoying like Levi but not particularly compelling either.
They need to cut their losses with Levi sooner rather than later. The original plan seems to have been that he was actually after Felicia’s Aztec jewels (which she returned and no longer has BTW, RC) but I hope they had the good sense to pull the plug on that plot point.
Just end it with Levi always having been out to scam a green card and ship him back to Australia. Enough of this annoying character already.
@KM-Your first paragraph sums up my overrall view of this pairing. They are little more than “OK” and they are far from “compelling”, especially when this headwritter obviously telegraphed his intensions from the moment RP’s Nathan arrived at KiSt’s Maxie’s door as she was leaving for her “Eat, Pray, Whatever Else She Was Doing Tour”/maternity leave.
Realistically, if RC really understood Maxie, she’d be running rings around both Nathan and Levi and would have already figured out Levi’s scam. As it is, she appears to be another stereotypical bubble head blonde when previously she’s been one of the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Maxie met Levi at a very vunerable. Point in her in her life, she was unsure of herself trying to be a better person and extremly insecure. Levi swooped in and said he had all the new age answers and made her feel better. Its an abusive relationship
I agree; there is nothing appealing or compelling with this “filler” story. It’s beyond boring.
Maxi may not have been the smartest character on GH, but she certainly was never this dumb. It was so obvious who told the judge Nathan lied. I don’t even enjoy watching her anymore and she used to be one of my favorite characters. At this point I think Nathan is too good for her.
What a completely wasted opportunity!! The show had the perfect chance to tell a classic love triangle that could have had fans divided right down the middle. The guy who plays Levi is charismatic and quirky and can be funny. He could have played a really nice entertaining character but instead he is obnoxious, rude, emotionally abusive and just a moron. They are trying so hard to push and prop the cop that they are working overtime to make us hate Levi. I don’t get the show at all these days. What kind of a cop would hand over his phone to two dimwits like Maxie and Levi? All he had to say was “I’m a cop and the numbers in my phone are confidential. Sorry you can’t look at my call log!”. End of story. And how are Maxie and Levi affording the services of Diane Miller?? Does other one of them have a job?
I agree with everything you said…what bugs me is that he is one of those in-your-face annoying characters…he couldve worked better as comic relief!!!
Johhny, your points are spot on. The fact is that these writers really only know how to write black and white, good vs evil and do so to force you in one direction. Same happened with Britt and Sabrina. When they try to add a little gray and blur the lines, like with Dr.O, it comes off as totally schizo and not believable.
The other problem is the constant dumbing down of characters to move along their thin/ dumb plots. Maxie is now a moron and your point about Nathan handing over the phone is well taken, but with these writers, it has to happen that way. Get the actors to the Rib, have them all stand there, have him hand over his phone and done. Wouldn’t it have been more interesting to make Maxie a little more resourceful and have her grab his phone while he’s sleeping or in the shower and discover the number for herself. But instead we get these contrived little scenes that make all the characters involved look silly. The writers have no idea how to plot out a series of events and fill them in intelligently.
Thanks!!!! Your letters are always intelligent and thoughtful too!! And another thing….who on Earth…I don’t care who you are or whether its fiction or truth….WHO would be THAT confrontational with a police officer all the time?? If you’re shady and up to no good you’re going to try to be low key about itm. You’re not going to barge and stomp around yelling at a cop..telling him off…threatening to punch him…accusing him of things etc. It is such stupid moronic writing and hard to fathom. Memo to Ron….WE GET IT!!!!!!!!! LEVI IS BAD!!!!!!!! The real Maxie would have squashed this dude under her high heel shoe. Aaarrrgggghhhhh…lol….the writing on this show frustrates me to no end and drives me up the wall. Due respect to Michelle Stafford…but can we just cut losses now??? Nothing about her character works in any way. She doesn’t even know how to act what is being written for her. Every time she talks, her voice and her facial expressions are saying “What the #;$- am I doing here?” And why does Alice warrant such intense love and devotion and worry and tears…and AJ had a 30 second funeral and is never mentioned again?? Why is a murderer the Chief of Staff and how could she hire a serial killer to work with children?? I know a lot of you will say “its only a soap” but I still expect shows up to make sense!! Even if its only in an internal logic kind of way. Nearly two months after Patrick’s car accident…him and Sam go to the scene of the crime…and find a guard rail damaged with noticeable black paint on it. So…you don’t think maybe the officers and crash scene investigators would have thought to do that?? Ron is good at long term plotting….but his day to day writing and story choices are terrible!!!
Quite some time’s past since these posts but I have to mention AJ vs. Alice. I was thinking the same thing…or a tad different.
I can understand the love and concern for Alice; she’s been part of the Q’s forever. So it makes sense.
But what I TOTALLY agree with and am beyond annoyed with is how little care was given when AJ was dying. Who showed up to visit him? Where were the tears for him? Did the Q’s fly in, gather round…No.
Tracy showed a bit of regret, Ned said oh what a shame he was family after all…and then they had the funeral of five or however little showed up.
Even if it was personal…some feud or animosity between RC and SK…RC should have gotten over it and given AJ the love in-the-end the character and the fans deserved. (And I’m being gracious because I don’t think he should have been killed off to begin with!)
First of all…I’ll repeat what I’ve said on other posts. I don’t think the actor portraying Levi is bad; matter of fact I think he’s good because he’s soooooo beyond annoying. I think he could be quite the looker himself; love his hair, his accent and I think he’s got a great body. Matter of fact…if he was cast as a good guy…or in a beach flick…he would be quite cute.
As for Detective Sexy Pants…hahhahaha…he has to be one of THE most gorgeous men to ever grace the screen; daytime or otherwise. And I’ve said this before too but his acting has grown in leaps and bounds…I find him so believable, so authentic, so genuine.
I don’t know if they’ve dumbed Maxi down. I think deep down she knows she cares for Nathan…but she’s be so hurt in the past that I think she’s in denial. She did the same thing when she wouldn’t allow herself to keep her own baby…or hid the truth form Lulu and Dante. She avoids so she doesn’t have to deal…
Not sure if Nathan will save the day in the nick of time and they’ll be an instant couple…or if it’ll get drawn out where Maxi marries Levy and some story unravels from there. In the old days that would have been the way. Now with budget…maybe they’ll want to get rid of the Levy character so they’ll hasten the story along. It’s a wait and see.
Either way, I’m enjoying it. I do think Maxi and Hottie are adorable together…
I might have liked Levi had he been used as comic relief instead of an annoying obnoxious inyourface villain…this show needs no more villians at the moment!!!
Levi has always been sketchy, and I think it speaks to Zachery Garred’s acting abilities that he’s made us hate the character so much. But yeah, Levi has to go, pronto! I think a big reveal is coming about who he really is, and I’m waiting for him to be connected to Jerry Jacks – they’re both Australian and they’re both evil.
Jimmy..
da` Dunkleman is a cool humorous guy if ya ”get it” lol
The writers did not give the guy the name of Dunkleman<–ahaa and give him girly red hair and ugly T-Shirts and a bloated accent if he we're not meant to a goofy silly fun character..
I know I will get a ` Dunkleman T-shirt..
((Its a bird its a plane its The Dunkleman !! ahaa ))
Where are you going to purchase your Dunkleman T-shirt? The same place your significant other bought his, “I”m with Stupid” T-shirt?
Yeah, su0000000000….our problem with GH is that we just don’t “get it” like you do…be it the “Dorkleman” or “crypt sex,” we are simply just not as cool as your “hipper than thou” self!!!!
Don’t get me wrong, I do like the Maxi character and the actress but I just don’t see her with Nathan, he needs a more mature woman with a strong sex appeal (Jordan), too bad GH is afraid to go there.
dare I say this :
and some will agree :
as hot as he is… wooden like
at least, Levi… acts…
and… LOL… there seems to be more chemistry with Levi and Nathan.. then with any one else on the cast.
and that’s not a bad thing
as for Maxie…. for all her eat love pray sojourn… and 2nd time the judge has told her… Ok take this lightly… she’s unfit… for another 6 months
I think more than any thing… fans are captivated by Nathan
it would be interesting … if the writing team had it in them… to further delve in to… a Maxie/Levi sojourn…
just to channel their energies… if this is what brought them back…. give Levi a chance… he’s not bothersome… in any way… so… let Maxie … commit to Levi… he’s hers. so what, that Mac, Nathan, and Dante may not like
he could be so much more… than we know…. LOL…. hint hint… Maxie would
all this to further along.. this worthwhile… threesome
Maybe Maxi will come home one evening find Levi and Nathan doing nude yoga together…and join them…lol
Ryan Paevy has really improved his acting skills. He seems more comfortable. Good for him! I imagine him being on this show for a long time. We need need a handsome hero.
I agree about Levi’s weird body shape and his ridiculous outfits…..I fast forward when he is on because I can’t stand him. Please, please end this storyline.
True, Linda! Those yoga pants Levi dons certainly don’t do him…or us….any favors!
Why doesnt “Detective Sexy Pants” save the viewers and go back to modeling! This acting thingcting isnt working out!
First of all I have to say I have always liked Maxi, even when she was at her worst…leading Lucky down the drug trail, etc. but I loved her with Spinilli. Apparently I’m in the minority but I do like Maxi and Nathan and I think there is a lot of potential for them to mend each other. He’s been on a mission of vengeance for for his supposedly dead sister only to find his crazy sister is alive but she isn’t his sister she’s his cousin and his mother isn’t his mother but his aunt. Maxi has had many traumas in her life; i.e, heart transplant, her dad runs off to be a spy (I love Frisco but he does like the exciting life), her sister dies, the Lucky thing, Spinilli, her baby and now the struggle to be who she isn’t. They could grow and mend together. AND…Nathan is nice to look at and Maxi’s eyes nearly pop out of her head everytime he is in his towel…lol.
I really don’t care much for this storyline. I’m sorry if I am offending anyone that does. But, last week sometime, an entire episode was practically dedicated to who called Immigration on Levi. Really, who cares? I’ve never been a huge fan of Maxie, I can’t stand Levi. I do like Nathan; but, I think he would be better suited with someone else. Who, I’m not sure…
Hmmm… Dunkelmann. German for Dark Man. As in hiding something? I still think that he is Sly Eckert, Bill Eckert’s son. He disappeared off the radar when he was a pre-teen.
That’s an intriguing theory, Harold! Never thought about the German translation for Levi’s surname….I merely thought it was for comic relief, as it had such a dorky connotation!!!! However, I still think if “Dunkelman” is linked to anyone it will be Jerry Jacks. But at this point, I really don’t much care anymore. This character is turning out to be such a dud that I am beginning to wonder if one day he will just up and disappear and we will never know who he really was. Wouldn’t surprise me!
I like Levi against Nathan. They are kinda funny but the writing for Maxie has been terrible. When did she get this stupid.
I don’t like the way you all have maxie character being so stupid, I hope that her eyes are open and maxie and Nathan get together
My biggest complaint with Maxie is that she has totally abandoned her considerable fashion cred just to appease that Dork from Down Under!!!! KS always looked so phenomenal in her extensive wardrobe—even while extremely pregnant—so to have her return in those mumsy frocks and drab eco-garb was just such a disappointment. She needs an intervention…a “Come to Manolos Moment” to regain her “Maximista Fashionista” mojo. After that, her normal personality and mental capabilities will return as well….as she realizes that her most fabulous accessory is none other than the TopCop, Nathan, by her side!!!!
which they’d do a background check on Levi. did he even get fingerprinted when arrested? but other than that, you can do a background check online, but I’d think Dante could do a very revealing check.
wonder if levi is even a real Aussie
I agree wih a couple of people here; Ryan Paevey’s cting hs improved greatly!
lol acting HAS improved greatly. LOL first day with the new hands lol
I agree, Ryan’s acting keeps improving. I think he’s doing great and also happens to be one of the most beautiful humans on the planet.
Dunkleman is soooo annoying, which means the actor is doing his job well!
If they are going to keep Levi for anything other than as a recipient of viewer ire, then they really need to get him involved in a story with more substance than this silly immigration problem.
Levi’s reveal to Maxie yesterday of why he cannot return to Australia was weak as water. Facing a prison sentence? Please. I wasn’t born yesterday and neither were the rest of the viewers. A green card marriage when Immigration already has him on the radar????? Please. If rumors are correct and Levi is attached to someone else in Port Charles, then for goodness sake, get on with the story. This business with Maxie just doesn’t cut it.
BTW, anybody else wondering when Maxie is going to get a job? Maybe they can work at Kelly’s.
Work at Kelly’s? Cannot see the slack-tivist Svengali “Dumbsterman” or his mind-numbed disciple Maxie toiling away at that purveyor of prodigious plates of pork products (aka “BLTs”) even though I think his so-called “veganism” is just as phony-baloney (no pun intended…) as everything else about his ludicrous lifestory seems to be.
levi needs to go can not stand him
Maybe Levi The Obnoxious is Holly’s other son (with Robert Scorpio) ???
Hi everyone today is Augest 11,,2014. I have been a devoted GH fan for 40 years and to me the story line with this Levi guy has GOT TO GO ! The actor is ok yet im not liking him and im sure thats what the writers wanr dislike. of his charector sh Levi exits the show and moves on to other venues. The guy that plays Nathen is a real hunk very charming with an edge. I believe he will be one of Gh`s heart throbs of all time IF he gets enough viewing time. Insofar as Maxie ive always liked her with Spinelli they were soul mates and I miss him on the show. I am also happy that Robin is back for another tease then she will get back to directing but she is a beloved charector. I enjoy the charector of Patrick he is another handsome man and a phenomenal actor, the best actor on GH. I would also like Nicholas and Brit to finally get together and marry. That adorable kid that plays little spencer is a REAL actor he`s gonna make it big one bright day as he grows up.. LUKE well we`ll..see him when he feels like it and ill always LOVE his charector.ok people I have blabbed enough. To those of you in faith God bless you and yours…
I for one love Nathan! It’s true the actor had some things to learn but I think he’s coming along I have the most problems with Maxie. I agree with most people. She is not being smart about anything lately and it irritates me because she’s usually pretty smart. I get she’s vulnerable but geeze. I think the actor that plays leving needs the most work. As we know now she will snap out of it.
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since Van Hansis made his debut as the recast Lucas Jones on General Hospital. It was back on October 4, 2023 that GH fans got their first look at the former As the World Turns (ex-Luke Snyder) favorite in his new soap role.
Hansis became the fifth actor to play the role of the adoptive son of the late Bobbie Spencer and Tony Jones, and the biological son of the late Julian Jerome and Cheryl Stansbury. Prior to Van, C.J. Thomason (2002–2003), Ben Hogestyn (2005–2006) Ryan Carnes (2004–2005, 2014–2020, 2024) and Matt Trudeau (2020–2021) had played the part.
When Van left daytime after As the World Turns sadly went off the air in 2010, it would be 14 years until he stepped back into the updated frenetic pace and grind of acting on a daily soap opera.

LUCAS CAME HOME TO PORT CHARLES
Since Lucas has been back in Port Charles, he fell in love with the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who was murdered, moved into a new apartment with his current roommate (soon to be love interest?) Joe Fitzpatrick as played by Jonathan Bennett, has become best buds with the “Britch” Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), and has found himself involved in multiple other storylines. However, now that Van is firmly implanted on GH, might Lucas get a leading storyline of his own? Stay tuned.
In the meantime, to acknowledge his two-year anniversary at General Hospital, Hansis shared via his Instagram a photo montage and some heartfelt “thank you’s’ and words. “Two years ago yesterday, Lucas Jones came home to Port Charles looking a little different. Looking exactly like me.” began Hansis.
