Jane Elliot Returns to General Hospital This April
Although it was previously announced back in January (during ABC’s TCA Winter Press Tour) that Jane Elliot would be returning to General Hospital, the soap opera and Soap Opera Digest have confirmed that Jane’s first episode back will air next month on April 17th.
While Elliot won’t be a part of the Nurses’ Ball which airs the week of April 3rd, as part of the show’s 60th anniversary episodes, the Daytime Emmy-winning fan favorite will be back in action during the anniversary month and beyond.
As viewers know, Jane originally decided to retire back in 2017, and so Tracy was written off to join Luke Spencer in Europe. Since that time, Elliot has come back to the show for a few appearances.
The last time we saw Tracy was at the beginning of 2022, when she came home to Port Charles to give the shocking and tragic news that Luke had been killed in a cable car crash. Tracy eventually went back to Amsterdam, where they had been living, to settle his affairs following his death.
Will Tracy’s return help bring down Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) who is believed to be behind Luke’s death? Could Tracy learn Luke is really alive after all? Stay tuned.
So, excited that Jane Elliot’s return to GH is just around the corner? Comment below.
Always great to see Jane Elliot back on screen, in whatever scheme Tracy has gotten herself involved with this time.
I sincerely hope that this story is leading to the reveal that Luke isn’t really dead. You have to acknowledge the good and bad with the character of Luke Spencer over the years, but the bottom line is he was one of the most iconic characters in soap history. For him to die off screen like that never seemed like an appropriate way for the character to go out.
I agree with you, Dan. Completely.

Geary retired from Soap & is living happily in Amsterdam Holland. He refuses to return to the set. He loved his care free lifestyle there. Given the $$ he earned & wisely invested ,why not live healthy & happily there. I love Holland & Belgium, life is much slower & simpler with all the modern conveniences
happy she’s back along w/ Emma samms,
Wow, do I miss Tracy. The once-dominant Quartermaines are barely a shadow anymore. The Corinthos clan just isn’t a proper replacement.
I’d like Tracy to come back and kick that squatter Carly out of her family mansion. She’s always there marching around like she owns the joint.
Oh Harry, Missy Carly thinks she’s entitled to anything she wants — men, revenge, “justified” lying. She still hates Brad for concealing Wiley’s parentage but has NO QUALMS about lying to Willow, Nina, and Drew about Willow’s maternal history. And her “marching around” (great description) is always so loud! Those shoes must have tiny weights in them.
I’d say Carly was justified in hating Brad. His deception in the Wiley clusterf**k hurt both her son Mikey and her brother Lucas. Not to mention aided & abetted the insane schemes of Psycho Nelle against her entire family. That’s a lot to forgive.
As far as Willow goes… she told Carly she didn’t really want to know who her birth mother was. Obviously Carly didn’t owe Nina a damn thing, although she probably should have been honest with Drew once he started investigating Willow’s parentage.
Yes; Carly DID owe Nina. Carly started this whole thing by not telling her that Nelle had been her daughter, and by default, was never going to tell her that Wiley was her grandson! He’s every bit Nina’s grandchild as Carly’s, but I guess taking Michael away from AJ, and raising Ava’s daughter as if she was her own, raising Avery to call her “mommy” wasn’t enough for Carly. She has Joss, Michael, Donna, Avery, Wiley, the new grandchild, and Nina’s daughter…and she thought nothing of letting Nina go through the rest of her life childless, never to know that Wiley was her grandchild. As is her M.O. Carly never apologized to Nina, just got on her high horse and wailed about what Nina did to her. And, then, instead of trying to make it right, she does it all over again except this time it’s worse; she goes behind Nina’s back, takes an illegal DNA test, and then continues to rant and rave about what Nina did to her as she once again keeps Nina’s child from her and an upcoming grandchild. Carly’s truly despicable.
Rebecca1,
My problem is I agree with what you say, can’ t stand Carly, but than why is it I can’t stand nosy, obnoxious Nina either?
Violet; hi.:) Don’t know. I like Nina; I don’t find her nosy or obnoxious. I feel empathy for her. She was in a coma half of her life, had both babies stolen, was conned to believe Sasha was her daughter, was betrayed by Jax when he kept the secret with Carly, her other child was kept by Harmony, Carly not only kept that from her but once again is a “mother figure” to another enemy’s child (Ava/Avery) and her daughter is dying. Has a hatred for her that is completely absurd and unwarranted, and once again Nina is for the most part childless, as if having her children stolen from her wasn’t enough. And yet she carries on, her affection for Donna is very touching. Nina’s always on the outside looking in, while Carly skates through her life. It’s cringe-worthy.
Do not care for busy body Nina.
The fact that Carly took such umbrage with Brad for concealing Wiley’s parentage when she’s done the same thing to Nina two times was a connection that slipped my mind. Thank you, Soaphound for pointing that out. And it becomes increasingly vexing that Carly never receives her comeuppance- never! Instead, this morally challenged creep is constantly elevated to heroine status. It’s just piss poor writing that yields zero viewer satisfaction. The writers fail to adhere to the basic story board arc when it comes to Carly. And yes, Carly walks hard like an aggressive clod hopper living on the apartment above you.
Harry,
Have not been able to like Brad from the very beginning of all his antics in the lab, helping Britt “steal” Dante and Lulu’s baby from egg to birth and everything else crooked and scheming in between. They brought back a new and improved Britt and Brad just rode in on her coattails.
Soaphound…I can hear the click, click, click of Carly’s heals.
Hey Harry! Oh; I so agree! The “squatter Carly.” LOL! That’s exactly how I feel. I can’t stand seeing her there. These writers and their fake Quartemaine family. Bring back AJ, Dillon, Skye, and her daughter who I believe was named Lila Rae??? More Ned, please. He’s barely on and is treated like a cow put out to pasture in-story. That’s not the Ned we know. And if they’re not going to tell us where Monica is, maybe they can at least have a family game night where they all play, “Where’ Monica?”
Tracy is not the owner of the mansion. Monica is !
Oh, Soaphound—love Jane—she’s got that “stay on your side of the line” thing going—don’t mess with her. Is she Scottish, by any chance? LOL.
Aside—I just wanted to kiss and hug little “Ace”—something or someone had caught his attention and happy side back there—Mommy, perhaps? I was chuckling right along with him. So cute!! Big boy at what, six weeks old?
BTW—the word for ‘ace’ in Italian is ” Asso”. Oh, Lordy Lord!!
A presto–
I hope Luke stays dead tbh. There was minimal good about him. He is no better than any other rapist. And he didn’t learn his lesson. In 2014 he was groping young women again. Kiki for one. Laura should be ashamed of herself for leaving one of her children with one rapist so she could get away without having to worry about her child, then marrying another. Luke was no better than Stavros.
I think you’re confusing Luke with Fluke. Yeah, physically they were the same person – or at least they were after ReRon backed away from the obvious “Bill Eckert is Fluke” plotline, because GH viewers (led by this Devil) figured it out months ahead of time – but, under the terms of conventional soap writing, you don’t hold a person responsible for what their imaginary friends in their head/alternate personalities have done.
So yeah, we all know what happened at the disco in 1979. But that had nothing to with what happened in 2014. Even when not in Fluke mode, Luke had his flaws, but he had about as much in common with Stavros as I do with the angel Gabriel.
Can’t wait!
Ladies. Hide your husbands…and Sons!!
I hope they bring Luke back, he has been missed.
Love Jane Elliott. One of the few outstanding actresses of our time
Love Tracy!! Much needed return!
Hope she stays a long while
I look forward to whenever Jane Elliot returns to GH. She is such an amazing actress & literally a fan favorite for getting into or causing trouble. But she is fiercely loyal about family & I think all fans love whenever Jane returns every year. God Bless her

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
