If you have not see this Friday’s episode of General Hospital yet, you may not want to read any further! So that is your On-Air On-Soaps Spoiler Alert! However on cliffhanger Friday, Dr. Ewen Keenan (Nathin Butler) finally met up with his co-conspirator, or shall we say the man we now “presume” is calling the shots in regards to the Robin mystery … and it was none other than Jerry Jacks!
So with that juicy piece of info that means that Sebastian Roche is back on General Hospital as the evil Jerry, who’s first line to Ewen was, ” Oh please! After everything we have been through together, call me Jerry!”

Then in other Jacks brother news, it has been revealed and confirmed that Ingo Rademacher is also on his way back to the ABC soap as Jax! And as we know, Jax has a lot of unfinished business with many of the citizens of Port Charles! We have heard some rumblings of what is in store for viewers and we can tell you, it’s going to be very interesting!
Now after the jump watch the return of Jerry Jacks on GH! Then let us know what you think about actors, Sebastian Roche and Ingo Rademacher’s coming back to the ABC soap, and just what is Jerry Jacks doing with Ewen Keenan? What is their true relationship?
Um, folks, the cast is getting mighty top heavy. Too many actors, not enough air time. This is where story lines and plot points get lost.
I don’t think either of the above-mentioned are supposed to be long term. I think they are part of a larger umbrella story so I would not worry too much about the cast getting too big.
I agree there are too many actors for an hour a day show. Although there are a few who were on that I would not mind seeing coming back but I think the cast is too large unless Jax and Jerry are only a short term.
They are comeing back to gh. They are alive
I’m glad Sebastian Roche is back in any capacity. He is always entertaining. It is just too darn bad that his Jerry Jacks is so naughty because he has so much chemistry with Nancy Lee Grahn.
As for Ingo, I thought that he was a little bitter about 6 months or so ago when he said the new team was turning GH into one hospital to kill or something like that.
Yeah, I remember that too!
Well. obviously it didn’t make the powers that be angry enough to dump him completely. There were several negative things IR said about the new writers.
They both alive there are brthers
this is great news,jerry jacks is one of GH best villians so it will be fun to see what develops, and jasper jax returning is also great, hope they do him justice and have him make those who did him wrong pay too.
there are brothers
This is going to be a great story. I have to say, seeing Jerry Jaxs today gave me chills.
Been missing Jax and with diabolical Jerry back it’s good that he is coming back too Carly and Josslyn are really going to need him.
Yes there are husband and wife
Anything that Frank and Ron do is just about perfect for me.
Agree, Nancy. I look forward to GH more now than I have in years! So reminiscent (sp?) of OLTL- I mean it is GH but with some Llanview feel. Anyway, I LOVE IT. Although I must admit I detest Jerry. He’s gotten away with way too much-the death of Alan & all the other trauma at the Metrocourt-trying to kill Jason, Sam & Michael? in Mexico. Really too much to remember but he needs to pay for everything. I cannot stand him & he should never lay eyes on poor love challenged Alexis again!
@Gloria.
“I look forward to GH more now than I have in Years!”
Collectively, as a whole, that make up GH. The production, writing, acting, directing. all gelling… seamlessly as it were.
my one “fault”… the “reality” show bit… but, it’s fodder for Trey and his Dad Joe Scully… so that’s ok with me.
LOL… “poor love challenged Alexis”… i so agree… how to put her over the edge… Molly, sure reads her the riot act… LOL… she’s just cute as a button…
“you’re trying to make me like you”…. “what do you think TJ and I are gonna do? get a room?” she’s doing such a good job… the book worm… computer geek… etc… she’s blooming… radiant.
I liked the “double” date…. Shawn and Alexis “escorting” TJ and Molly… KUDOS to GH for all the drama and tension… for bringing some laughter with this outlet. Shawn escorts Alexis to the bar for some “pool” playing.
Sam and Michael so cute together they should be girlfriend and boyfriend
Jerry is a great villain, so it will be good to have him back. He and Anna going head to head down the road should be classic. Although, I was kinda hoping that Faison would be revealed as the person behind Robin’s abduction. Maybe he still will be, who knows.
Also great to hear that Ingo Rademacher is coming back. GH has been on fire lately, and it looks like it’s about to get even better.
I am so happy they are both back. I know there’s a lot going on right now, but I hope they combine Jax’s homecomng and Jerry’s villianry with a little humor like they used too. It’s gotten awfully serious lately. For instance, remember Jax “flying” into Port Charles when he originally came to town. That whole story line with him and Lois was really fun.
i am just loving gh right now & bring back the jax brothers is just more icing on the cake!
i forgot to mention that the new regime is doing an awesome job with gh!
I don’t know, to much happening all at once, it’s getting hard keeping up with all that’s going on with this Ewen and other character coming on. That’s how GH lost me last time. I really like the character Heather but I’m glad she’s been out of it for the past week it made Tod look like an idiot and not true to his character.
I am soooooo glad to see Ingo/Jax back and hope he is the good Jax and could get back with Carly. Jerry Jax is great too but I also hope he has some humor this time too. I still think someone(s) are behind Jerry.
I was shocked and delighted to see that Jerry was pulling Ewan’s strings! I do believe, though, that there is someone else behind the scenes that Jerry is working with. Faison or Helena, anyone? I’m also glad that Jax is returning. There is definitely unfinished business for him in Port Charles!
Could it be that Jerry has a vendetta against the people of PC, especially theDrakes, because Lisa was his daughter?
I literally screamed when Jerry appeared on my screen! This was such a great twist to the Robin tale as most people were assuming Helena was behind the “death” of Robert and Anna’s daughter. I can’t wait to see what else this storyline will have to offer and more surprises the writers have in store. Jerry is one of my all time fave GH characters; he’s a great villian and Sebastian is unbelievably talented!
I agree! I was so excited that I had to rewind a few times. It was a huge surprise because I had no clue he was coming back.
I’m not really happy to see “Jerry” back. He is beyond-redemption-evil and I don’t enjoy those kind of characters. (I feel the same way about Heather.) I’m glad his stint is only a couple weeks…hope it stays that way.
I am glad “Jax” is back though…
I cannot understand why Jerry Jax would have an ax to grind with Robin, Patrick, Anna, or Robert, I MUST HAVE MISSED the key REASON when JERRY came BACK in 2007’s Metro Court story line. He always seemed against Sam,
Jason and Mob people? Did I fall asleep like Rip Van Winkle?
I hope they don’t put Carly and Jax back together. Jax is probably not long term because it looks like they are going with Todd and Carly.
Well the Jacks brothers will liven things up! even if it’s not a permanent thing, it is sure to be an exciting ride.
Jerry was one of my choices as to who has Robin – I don’t know why he has it in for that girl. First he shoots her – remember the whole hostage thing at the metro court? did he ever say why she was the one he shot? Now this. Be nice if Jasper and Jason could team up to save Robin.
Looks like Jerry is out to get everybody he can in Port Chuck.Just watched today and Joselyn was kidnapped.. The villan Jerry plans to inject Alexis with some virus or whatever.Gh is getting very interesting now.
This is confusing, os Faison had Jerry jacks, Joe schully, and Dr keenean working for him?

Lifetime’s ‘Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas’ Brings Epic Food Fight and “Slapfest Coup de Grâce”

Get ready for the feuding soap opera divas, when five actresses known for their signature primetime and daytime roles are brought together in Lifetime’s new holiday film, Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas.
Saturday night, December 2nd on Lifetime (8pm ET/7PM CT) marks the highly-anticipated holiday movie premiere featuring: Donna Mills (ex-Knots Landing), Nicolette Sheridan (ex-Knots Landing), Morgan Fairchild (ex-Falcon Crest et al), Linda Gray (ex-Dallas) and Loni Anderson (ex-WKRP in Cincinnati).
Here’s what we do know! In story, five alums from the long-running soap, The Great Lakes reunite for a live Christmas finale. Uh-oh! Now take a look at the backstory of the colorful cast of characters (pay special attention to the clever twists on the actresses names!)

LAUREN EWING (Linda Gray) “Everyone thinks I’m so damn good all the time,” confesses the junk food-loving Lauren of her second act as a lifestyle guru. “I don’t know how Gwenyth Paltrow does it!”
DANA CUNNINGHAM (Donna Mills) Now a sitcom mom, she’s yet to make amends to ex-bestie Juliette after abruptly leaving the soap back in the day. Not that she hasn’t tried: “When I thought the world was going to end in Y2K,” Dana says, “I reached out to her, and she never called me back.”
LILY MARLOWE (Loni Anderson) After replacing Dana on ‘Great Lakes’, Lily never again found a role to win her acclaim. “What do I have to show for (my career)? An arc on For the People – Shonda Rhimes’ only flop!”
JULIETTE MATHESON (Nicollette Sheridan) “She left me for L.A.,” the party girl turned fashion mogul recalls of Dana’s betrayal. Will their feud derail the entire event?
MARGEAUX ROBERTS (Morgan Fairchild) “Fasten your face-lifts, ladies, it’s gonna be a bumpy weekend!” The sassy grande dame of ‘Great Lakes’ sees the Juliette-Dana beef as the perfect escape from her own domestic drama.

Now, making this all the more hysterical is the director of The Great Lakes reunion special, which makes the five women live under the same roof, is its former child star Alex, who has gotten his ex-girlfriend, Nell to direct the finale. Meanwhile, in the subplot. the ‘Ladies of the ’80s’ come up with a plan to get Alex and Nell back together.
As with any good soap opera, there is a major food fight. Linda Gray shared with USA Today ,”The food fight was one take. And it was fabulous.” And of course, their is a bitch-fest slap-fest. Morgan Fairchild revealed, “Oh honey, we all got ours in. Mine was a simple, ‘How dare you?’ with a slap. But I was hoping for a punch.”

The movie’s EP, Larry Thompson, who is a Hollywood manager and has Donna Mills as a client, said that the entire scene peaks with the”slapfest coup de grâce.” What is that exactly? That is when Donna Mills pushes Nicollette Sheridan into a pool in a nod to Dynasty’s Lily bond battle between Dynasty’s Alexis (Joan Collins) and Krystle (Linda Evans).
In case you missed it previously, check out the trailer for Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas below, also starring Patrika Darbo, Alec Mapa, Mills real-life daughter, Chloe Mills, and Christopher Atkins with theme song by Tiffany.
Now let us know, will you be tuning in to the movie for a premise that should delight many a longtime soap fan? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ava Receives a Haunting Letter About Austin’s Murder

On Thursday’s November 30th episode of General Hospital, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) is on the case of who shot Austin (Roger Howarth) and pays a visit to Ava Jerome (Maura West) at Wyndemere.
Dante asks Ava when was the last time she saw Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt. She asks why and what is going on with Austin? Dante tells her he’s dead, and assumes she must already know, especially given her non-reaction to the news.
Ava tells Dante she was last with Austin two days ago at her gallery. When he questions her if security footage can back that up, that would then give her an alibi. However, Ava explains she left out the back, and that the surveillance camera has not been working. Since the murder happened in Pautauk, Dante tells Ava they will want to question her.

She responds that a lot of people in town knew Austin from Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and on. However, Dante points out that Ava was the only one that was kidnapped by Mason (Nathanyael Grey). Ava says she will have her lawyer ready.
As Dante exits, Ava looks through her unopened mail. She finds a letter addressed to her and it says inside on note paper, “You’re welcome.” But that’s not all, inside the letter is a polaroid of Austin’s dead body.

Also in story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) has a meltdown when she has to start the finding a surrogate process all over again, and is found crying on a park bench by her sister, Kristina (Kate Mansi). Will this be the conversation where Molly will take up Kristina on her initial offer to carry the child for her and TJ (Tahj Bellow)?

In another key moment, James thinks Cody (Josh Kelly) would make a great big brother, which then gets Felicia (Kristina Wagner) flashing back to when Cody told Mac that it turns out Mac is not his bio-dad. Felicia senses something is not right. Is she finally on to the fact that Cody lied to Mac? Stay tuned.

So, who do you think sent the letter to Ava about killing Austin? Is it Nikolas? Cyrus? Mason? Could it be Ava herself, who doesn’t remember she did the deed, or could it be someone else? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
