I wish the stigma around mental health had eroded a long time ago. So many have suffered unnecessarily. Mr. Benard is doing a great service, as Patty Duke did, in enlightening us. Yes, I wish sexy Bryan Craig would return to GH. He’s a wonderful actor, though I often lost patience with Morgan. Even on his meds, he was his own worst enemy. But there’s always room for growth.

Guess you are getting your wish with Bryan Craig. As the saying goes,” Of All The Gin Joints In The World” and Nina coming this week, will be like old home week! Of course we know when he refers to “the blonde” he means Carley but guess he’ll have to settle for Nina. Hope she marries him and brings him back to P.C introducing him as her new husband. Stupid of course, but I hope something like that really happens, shutting Carley up for a while.

Guess you’ll get your wish soon, as the old Casablanca line goes,” Of All The Gin Joints In The World”, and also Nina arriving, whom Sonny will think is the blonde in his recent dreams, it should be getting closer to him recovering his memories, which will probably turn out to be a nightmare. Can’t wait!

Bring Bryan back to GH

Bryan Craig should be brought back to GH immediately to improve ratings! He is a fantastic talent! Pine Valley should replace the dismal lead-in of GMA3.

While I appreciate the affinity some here have for Bryan, there’s already too many Corinthi on the canvas. Heck, they barely show Kristina.

The character is probably going to return at some point, but now is not the time.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Austin Reveals His True Identity

July 14, 2021

Leave it to many GH fans who guessed right as to just who Roger Howarth’s new character of Austin will turn out to be! On Tuesday’s episode of the ABC daytime drama series, we learned the last name of the character who is related to the Quartermaine’s.

For weeks, Austin has seemed to be fixated on Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and the Q’s and now with this cliffhanger of a reveal we know why.

At a key family business meeting at the Q’s, Scott (Kin Shriner) who now seems in cahoots with Austin for a piece of the Quartermaine pie, brings Austin to the gathering.

When Austin arrives, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) looks none-to-pleased! She clearly knows the guy. When Michael struts up to Austin asking who he is and what is he doing here … Austin introduced himself as Austin Gaitlin-Holt. Michael and everyone else look a bit perplexed as we fade to black.

However, GH history buffs know that Jimmy Lee Holt was the son of Edward Quartermaine and his mistress Beatrice LeSuer. Jimmy Lee did some pretty reprehensible things while he was in Port Charles. When he left he married Charity Gaitlin. Upon the death of Edward Q. back in 2012, Jimmy Lee was left out of his inheritance. Therein must lie some of the story…. and now Roger Howarth fans eagerly await to see how this new doctor in town and Quartermaine turns out to be. Will he be a bad boy, or a misunderstood good guy? We shall see.

So, what did you think of Austin being revealed to be Austin Gaitlin-Holt? Share your thoughts in the comment section, and also cast your vote in our poll on Roger’s new character below.
