Jessica Tuck On Wrapping Up Her Run As GH’s Cassandra: "I Think I’m Going Down!"

This week, General Hospital and longtime One Life to Live fans saw one of the finest actresses to grace daytime screens, Jessica Tuck, make a soapy exit.
Tuck, who came to GH to play drug-trafficking Cassandra who had ties to Valentin (James Patrick Stuat), and was the target of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Finn’s (Michael Easton) plans to bring her to justice, wound up in serious coma after her nefarious activities. Those included at the end of her reign of terror: holding Anna and Valentin hostage, and drugging poor recovery drug addict, Finn.
One Life to Live fans recall Jessica as Megan Gordon Harrison, whose love story with Jake (Joe Lando), and the character’s eventual death was one of the most heartbreaking in daytime soap history.
On her exit from GH, Tuck told Soap Opera Digest (in the latest issue on newsstands now) about the longevity of playing Cassandra: “I never really knew what her deal was going to be or how long I might be there.” She went on to say, “I was on borrowed time. There was a flurry at the end of the scripts and I said to my family, ‘I think I’m going down. I’m getting really evil and awful.”‘
Jessica expressed to SOD how much she appreciated the opportunity to work on GH, and again with her longtime friend and GH EP, Frank Valentini.
In story: After Finn explains to Anna that while he was drugged, he jumped Cassandra, but had no memory of stabbing her with the needle which rendered her unconscious with a drug overdose, Anna revealed to Finn that he didn’t kill Cassandra, because she was found in an alley and was in critical condition in the ICU at GH. Later, an upset Anna visits Cassandra in the ICU, where it looks like she may do her in herself. However, we are later told the WSB moved Cassandra to a facility and into custody, where she may never recover.
So, what did you think of the ending of Cassandra’s story? Were you hoping GH would keep Jessica Tuck on the canvas longer? Comment below!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Tells Dante, “I Don’t Want a Son Like You,” While Michael Tells Brook Lynn to Bide Her Time Till Chase and Willow Have an Affair
On the Thursday, October 1 episode of General Hospital, both Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) had some things to say and what they had to say didn’t go over well with whom they were talking to!
Sonny had a confrontation with his son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), while Michael leveled with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) over Chase (Josh Swickard).
GH is setting up a scenario where everyone is going to make it look like Sonny was responsible for having Sidwell (Carlo Rota) beat up in Pentonville; while viewers already know Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) were behind it.

A VISIT WITH DAD
Now, Dante comes to Sonny’s house. He wants to know straight up from his dad if he ordered the attack at Pentonville. Sonny flatly denies any culpability or responsibility, but Dante refuses to believe him.
Dante informs Sonny he has video footage of Sully and Vito at the prison. Sonny explains to Dante he doesn’t know why Sully beat up both Curtis and Dante. Things escalated when Sonny was deeply hurt that Dante refused to believe him. Dante says he was disappointed that his father didn’t respect him enough to be truthful with him!
Sonny asks Dante to consider that he was being set up. He says all he did was to tell Vito to instruct Sully to keep a watchful eye on Sidwell, not to harm him. No matter what Sonny said, Dante continued hammering him with how he knew deep down, even though he said he left the mob, he had to finish off Sidwell for himself.
Next, Sonny explains everything he has ever done was to provide for and to protect his family. Dante fired back that he doesn’t want to deal anymore with Sonny’s half-baked truths. As the two men argue, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) shows up at Sonny’s front door and overhears Sonny losing his temper and shouting at Dante, “Get out of my house! I don’t want a son like you!” The scenes featured an excellent performance by Maurice Benard.

MICHAEL THE MANIPULATOR
While this is going down, outside the Quartermaine boathouse, Brook Lynn opens up to Michael about living at the Q’s with Chase being there, since he only came back due to legal advice from his lawyer, Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard).
Brook Lynn questioned whether they should get legally separate. Michael insisted that would be a big mistake. When she asks why, Michael tells Brook Lynn to bide her time until Chase and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have an affair; then she’d have full custody of Phoebe.
An angered Brook Lynn pushed Michael into the water and accuses him of moving Willow back into the gatehouse with intent on putting Chase and Willow in closer proximity and sacrificing Brook Lynn’s family in the process. As the two cousins bicker, Chase shows up asking Brook Lynn if she is OK. Michael punctuates their talk with “You know, I’m right.”
CURTIS FIGURES OUT A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SLAMMER
At GH, Willow visits Curtis (Donnell Turner) in his hospital room. Curtis wants Willow to get him pardoned and keep him out of jail, and in return, he will help her nail Sonny.
Next, Willow tells Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) she wants Curtis held for observation for three more days. He agrees to do so under one condition, that she understands that he may need to call in a favor from a congresswoman.
So, what did you think of how Dante accused his father and refused to believe Sonny’s answers? Is this the end of their father and son relationship for good? Is Michael the most manipulative person of all, except for Willow? Do the two deserve each other? Do you want Chase and Willow to have an affair? And what of Curtis? Does he have many redeeming qualities left? Share your thoughts via the comment section, but first check out the talk Michael had with Brook Lynn.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ava and Drew Revealed to be Behind Framing Sonny for Sidwell’s Prison Beatdown
If you thought that the person responsible for the Pentonville brawl that saw Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) taken to General Hospital was Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or even Sidwell himself, you were dead wrong! On the Wednesday, September 30 episode of GH, it turned out that the culprits were actually Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison).
In story, Drew apparently bankrolled the attack on Sidwell and framing Sonny. He told Ava their planned worked (she came up with it!) but was horrified when Drew informed her that Curtis got caught in the crosshairs. Ava is visibly upset because of her longtime friendship with Curtis’ daughter, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Drew tried to make Ava see the bright side. Curtis was witness to it and his presence will cast doubt on Sonny’s claims to that he had gotten out of the mob and gone legit.
Later, Vito shows up at Drew’s. They informed him that his guy on the inside of the slammer made a big mistake by hurting their friend and ordered him to leave town.

BOATHOUSE BRAWL
In other major developments, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr) have a blow out fight as Danny blames his “brother” for the reason Charlotte was sent off to boarding school.
Rocco told off Danny for Charlotte’s (Bluesy Burke) reckless behavior and he explains he had to protect his sister. He went in on Danny saying that his mother Lulu (Alexa Havins) has been right to send Charlotte to boarding school and far away from Danny.
However, Rocco went a bit too far when he shouted, “And if your mom was alive, she would send you away too!” Next, Danny punched out Rocco, leading to a terrible brawl. An angered Danny yells at Rocco to, “Stay away from me and everyone in my family. And don’t you ever mention my mom again!” Danny storms off.

Now alone outside the boathouse, Rocco flashes back to his first kiss with Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarksi), hoping that his fight with Danny will not escalate and ruin their budding romance. Meanwhile, a bloodied-mouth Danny heads over to Sonny’s and Jason (Steve Burton) is there at the same time. He then admits that he has a bad fight with Rocco and they are both beaten up.
WILL SCOUT WISE UP?
At the end of the episode, Scout, who had a fight with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) over Drew, and who keeps telling everyone how good a man her dad truly is, comes upon a suspicious scene.
Scout hides behind the wall outside Drew’s. She sees her dad, Ava and Vito talking. Next, Scout seems to overhear Vito assuring Drew and Ava that their business dealings are done, and he’ll be leaving Port Charles for good.
So, what did you think of the reveal that Ava and Drew were behind framing Sonny for the prison beatdown of Sidwell (and Curtis)? Do you think Danny and Rocco’s relationship can be repaired, or do you think the teenagers will continue to be at each other’s throats? Finally, do you hope Scout gets a clue and stops thinking her dad walks on air? Weigh-in via the comment section, but first check out how Ava and Drew conspired below.

There is new evil in town and it was Cassandra….she could easily take over for Helene Cassidine!!!!….So who is Faison’s other son…if older than Nathan i hope its Finn…can you imagine Anna’s reaction that she is falling in love with Faison’s SON!!!!
I think Faison’s other son is Peter Wells. The new COO of Aurora Media. He pushed Lulu hard to get her to do a story in Faison, why?????
I’ll buy that,Kgs….except that Finn is too old to be Faison’s son….
…oh, golly gee…what am I saying!!….Sam is Julian’s daughter, looks more like should be his wife…..it’s a soap….a world without physical dimension…
…the universe does have, at least, ten dimensions. Perhaps GH and all of soapdom have not been accounted into the physical field yet……a place where we defy age.LOL.
More like a place that totally defies logic, CeeCee!! Realistically speaking, Julian would have been all of about six when he fathered Sam….I know Alexis covets men who are younger and full of sexual stamina, but that’s just ridiculous!!!!
I hope not…..
Yes… great point …u are correct I hope you’re right
That would be a great story line for Anna & Dr. Finn together and then discover he’s Faison’s son.
GH need to get rid of Nelle; she’s useless and time is up.
Characters need to be reviewed and their purpose such as Nelle.
I agree, get rid of Nelle asap. She is a total drain on the show.
PLEASE GET RID OF THIS CHARACTER…..WASTE OF TIME….
why oh why, do fans give a hoot about Michael Corinthos’ … you would think from his lineage… Quartermaine, corinthos’ and Carly herself… Michael would be ALL that and a bag of chips
he’s so flatline… and Nelle is truly a waste of time
IT”s TIME for Michael and Nelle to head of in to the sunset – never to return
Exactly, Jimh! Cassandra perfectly fulfilled the role of icy “b*+@# goddess” that Port Charles has so sorely needed since Helena’s hasty departure. I really adored her cool and classy demeanor and thought that her arrival brought with it such a panoply of prospective plot possibilities, including the tantalizing notion that this lethal lady was, in fact, a bonafide Cassadine! In the near future, I truly hope that Cassandra indeed emerges from her supposedly hopeless coma and returns with a vengeance, ready and refreshed for a new nefarious caper, perhaps one that doesn’t include the scourge of drugs attached to it! Just as I have oft repeated in reference to Britt, my sentiments regarding the crafty Cassandra can be summed up with the singular request of “Bring her back!”
Agreed!
I. Wouldn’t mind seeing another character like faith.. I miss the old sonny n Jason stories.. They were so thrilling and really kept u in suspense..
Yes…bring her back!!!!
Yes!
Jimh….I think Faison’s son is Peter August (Wes Ramsey) &Laura Wright’s (Carly) real life bf.i think he is setting up for confrontation w/Faison through Lulu.Maybe it’s all tied into the “supposedly killing of Nathan….Faison’s other son.
Just my suspicion. …ps…alway enjoy your comments and your love for “soap”…especially soap opera sl’s from long ago.
Sounds soooo good, vinman….most plausible assumption yet. He does seem to be very vested in this. Do you think Faison has any inkling Nathan is his son? Look out Dr. O if he does!!
Wow that would be awesome
Nathan don’t know he’s Faisons son…Nathan is the one they are referring to.
No really…..there is supposedly a second son.
Faison’s other son is obviously Peter. The last name of August is a clue. In the manuscript, the son is listed as Octavius, which was another name for the Roman emperor Augustus.
Now, as for who Peter’s mother is… since he is a publisher, let’s assume that runs in the family, and mom is actually Quinn (Jennifer Bassey’s character).
super impressed with your deductive skills. never dawned on me about the name august. well done.
Same story over ar DOOL. I said exactly the same thing about Stefan O, just a few days ago. These storylines are so parallel, one wonders, “What the heck is going on?”
Octavian ( or Octavius–Latin, Augustus)
GREAT THINKING……YOU SURE COULD BE RIGHT!
GH should really find a way to keep Ms. Tuck, she was truly entertaining to watch. I agree that the show is lacking a Helena type, Jessica can surely fill that role.
Absolutely!! Keep her!!! Let’s find out that she, too, is a Cassadine. CASSANDRA CASSADINE!
She would need to be Helena’s daughter (not by Mikkos as that would make her previous affair with Valentin incestuous). Thus, not a Cassadine
Perhaps Petros Cassadine is Cassandra’s father! Remember him? He was Mikkos’ meek lookalike cousin who turned up in Port Chuck after the Ice Princess debacle. That would make Valentin and Ms. Pearce more distantly related.. albeit still incestuously joined in the biblical sense, but, hey, given this crazy clan, anything is possible!
She would still be a Cassadine heir, which Helena would have made sure of. Too young to be a re-cast. But very convincing bloodline. Probably grew up with Helena in some fashion. Ergo, the personality. We need Jessica!!
She looks like the actress that plays Helena, Constance Towers. I’m sure they thought of recasting Helena, but since Constance recently appeared in flashbacks, they didn’t want to disrespect her. I think they have too many older actress villains on the show. Why not have more nice older ladies, or at least give Monica more screen time?
Recast Helena? Constance happily shows up whenever the show asks. She can still appear in flashbacks.
Monica is now on more than many contract players, so that’s a good start. They should keep Lesley in PC, too.
Agree there. Jessica Tuck, when in OLTL, I see remember her dying days. I cried so much. I will never forget that day when she passed with Jake by her side. I wish she would have continued at GH for a longer time.
Poor Jessica….always dying. She died on DOOL, too.
I totally agree!
I agree Miss Tuck should stay in the part of Cassandra she would make a great Helena cassadine type which GH really needs.
Really wanted to see Cassandra together with James DiPaiva’s character!!! Couldn’t Dr. David at least consult on her case?!
That would have been great! But they made her too evil. Her run was too short–and, unfortunately, the character was not fleshed out nor given shades of gray. Too bad!
They can still do that. Especially since she in a coma. So much material there! I’ve always been suspicious of Dr. Beck.
It would have been great to see her paired with James’ character, specifically since they both play on OLTL (along with Roger Howarth – Franco).
I’m with you, Nancy. Such a powerful actress could have been given a character with more shading, not just an uncomfortable mix of horny and evil. At least Liesl has had the chance to grow beyond just gorgon status.
OMG – what happened… did Anna and Finn.. RUN in to each other arms ? love fest … have the best sex?
ewwww !
I SO HOPED that Cassandra would have taken Finn down. god of god… let Finn do something REAL and meaty.. like truly show us what drug addiction is like, and wallah he’s ambulanced to Ferncliff sanitarium… he’s such a stand alone character.. as in has no development with any one… and that INCLUDES ANNA. just no meld with any on @GH. what’s the point of him on the show.
Michael Easton HAS TO GO
It was great to see her on screen again–and I agree with Lisa that it was sad we didn’t get to see at least one scene that had some DePaiva/Tuck interaction.
NO no no NO!
Jessica Tuck/Cassandra was a step in for Helena!
No one can ever replace the great Ms Towers but Jessica was excellent !
OK–
Cassandra is Not dead she is in a coma.. that is good news.
I feel she will return!
She is awesome and the best villainess that GH has had since Helena, we can’t lose Cassandra she was the Only excitement GH has had in a year or more.
I luvs the Cassandra character!
(( she ain’t dead!!))
My comment is for Sam and Drew.
Jason is old news.
Please keep Sam and Drew together.
Yes I thought she would be there longer. But they didn’t kill her off. Maybe one day she will be back. Jessica is a very hood actress , we are gonna miss her..
She needs to die or at least be unconscious for 5 years.
Agreed.
Yeah!!!
I love the storyline and I love what they’re doing with it now and what they’re leading up to keep up the great work I can’t wait to see GH every day each and every day of the week it gets more exciting everyday
It was nice to see her again, but she was too evil so I wanted her to die or go to prison, not just disappear.
Agree! I like the idea of her perhaps being related to Helena and continuing and her reign of terror for a long time to come! She really is too good an actress to lose and her character presents a myriad of possible storylines.
I share your enthusiasm for GH’s best villainess since Helena supposedly slipped off this mortal coil!!!! Hopefully, both shall soon make a triumphant return to Port Charles and be revealed as mother and daughter! Until then, Dr. O. will simply have to assume the heavy-lifting in the “evil-doing femme” category! I trust she is the right lady for the job and will do so with her usual unapologetic aplomb!!!!!
I think she’ll be back. Maybe they can have Jessica and Constance on at the same time. Cassandra looks like her daughter.
What she said. (Seriously, I couldn’t have said it better.) She’s going to play the doctors, escape and wreak havoc on Port Charles. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday and soon.
I So Agree!
Okay, so, Cassandra will wake up from her coma a different person. Perhaps she had a tumor, LOL, and whatever trauma she experienced, dissolved it? Hey, it’s a soap; where black is white and vice versa.
….That way, we will have a brand new, revised edition of the character.
Seriously, I, too, would have liked to have had a salvageable Cassandra; somehow, someway.
What hoping Cassandra turned out to be Helena Cassidines long lost daughter. That would have been a really cool twist. Will definitely miss Jessica, loved her on One Life to Live love her on General Hospital.
She’s good and I am a Jessica fan, but Andre Hoves is
The GH villain of all times.
I vote for Grant Putnam!
I agree, but in my opinion, Jerry Jacks is one of the best villains GH has ever had, played by Sebastian Roché
Constance Towers is the ultimate villainess you’re right no one could ever replace her, even the original the late, great Elizabeth Taylor could not hold a candle to her
I really enjoyed the anticipation she brought to General Hospital. Excitement from day one. If you could only get rid of some of those story lines that go on forever as fast as you got rid of her good story…
THIS IS IT ; why else are their 168 HITS… Jessica Tuck is a shoe in
“…I really enjoyed the anticipation she brought to General Hospital. Excitement from day one. ”
she was poorly conceived.. she had us all wondering what was going to become of Finn and Valentin
argh! the opiod crisis … ruined her right their… from the start. did they just decide to quash this… ??? and thereby ENDING this fan favorite ?
of course.. the fallout and/or bloom if you will… OY
Anna and Finn ? GET REAL….. year 2018 is when Anna and Finn make out?
she looks too old for him… and when she has to reign in her personality chutzpa intelligence… to fit FINN who’s Shelley and Franks pet. FINN from the time of his debut… has done not a damned thing to elevate his belong. what for ?
Role from: March 13, 2012 to March 20, 2013 – McBain
Role from: May 13, 2013 to August 5, 2015 – Dr. Silas Clay
Role from March 21, 2016 to present – Dr. Finn
he’s been on this show 5 years… and has had minimal impact. NADA
THIS IS NOT a good time at all for Anna Devane.
got sidetracked… Jessica Tuck energized GH.
WOW did GH drop the ball on this one… perhaps they dropped this story until they could get a better grasp at all the talent they have w/ Jessica
it certainly wasn’t that much fun watching her fawn all over Finn. now we are being treated to this BS in the new year 2018.
Finola Hughes is not generating any heat. NOT – HER – FAULT
No, I don’t think she’s coming back. She’s not fit for the part, she mean:) She does not quite excite me to watch GH?
I agree, she is not dead and I hope she comes back. Great villain.
I hope its Valentin
I didnt like that storyline I am ready for some love story lines
I like Ms.Tuck but I’m kinda glad she is gone.
I think Faison’s son is the new editor of Aurora.
He keeps encouraging Lulu to find Faison and it makes sense, would be a surprise to many.
I am glad she is gone. I have watched general hospital for 38 yrs. This show is not one life to live. It was canceked for reasons. General hospital needs to work on bringing back the original roots. Cassadines, Quartermaines, Spencers, Corrinthos, and the mob. Bring back Nickolas. Tyler Christopher.
@Sara….I absolutely share your disdain for the overabundance of OLTL alumni who have materialized in Port Charles through the years….most of their introductions have been stunt castings or downright unnecessary characters that added little to the GH canvas. However, I do feel that Cassandra was a truly different creature….she could have been a superb long-term evillainess in the mold of Helena, and given Jessica Tuck’s uncanny physical likeness to the incomparable Constance Towers, would have made a most convincing offspring of the Ice Queen herself! Oh, what I wouldn’t give to see those two return to town as the mother-daughter duo from H#!!.
Yes, she was playing a good role in being the bad guy. Trying to mess with Nina husband and daughter. Somehow someway they should of drag it out a little more and I would of like it if she would.of got caught at the plant where she was making the drugs. She had the upper hand with Finn cause his vision was bluer. She did a excellent job in her role. nice
I was really hoping Cassandra would go full-tilt psycho and bump off the useless Nina in an attempt to recapture Valentin for herself! Now THAT would have been fun! She also would’ve made a great bedmate for Julian…especially when the green-eyed monster that is Alexis reactively emerged! And if Cassandra did indeed prove to be Helena’s daughter— as many of us have surmised—how utterly moreish it would have been for her own offspring to kill the spawn of the woman Helena herself murdered…and with the same dagger??? Oh, that would have been toooo poetic!
I love Jessica Tuck (Megan Gordon) I just struggled with the story line.
Having loved ones struggling with addiction is heart breaking, I guess watching the real villains of drugs (the sellers) profit from what they take from families, just hurts so much!
Do what soaps do best, find a way to bring this superb actress back to the canvas, but perhaps not as Cassandra, or… a Cassandra that has seen the light!
Good bye! Not good for the daytime audience…
Thank you in the New Year!
Jessica Tuck has ALWAYS been one of My Favorite Daytime Actors !! It was Great to see her on GH, too Bad they ONLY MADE CASANDRA Evil with no chance of Redemption. GH Writers; You missed Your Chance of getting some ACURATE INFO OUT THERE REGARDING THE OPIOD CRISIS !!!
Hate to see her go liked her character. But I tell you bored too death with Sam and Drew. Let get Sam and Jason back together. Don’t like Sam being so BORING!
I’m hoping that she will be revealed to be Helenas daughter by Raison, good the way she was “killed” off, Helena, too always disappearing before her death could be confirmed, only to rise once more!!!!
Isn’t Nelle enough? I really hated Helena and likewise Cassandra. Just too evil!
I’ve always enjoyed Ms Tuck when she plays the ‘baddie’ on any soap. She does it with such an innocent look when she is playing the role until she is found out and then she can switch instantly into the most ‘evil Queen’ persona right before everyone’s eyes! Always such a pleasure to watch her! I’m so sorry she will be exiting the GH canvas! I was hoping the show and the writers would be using her as the ‘new’ evil troublemaker — like the former matriarch of the Cassidine family. GH needs to have that recurring ‘evil’ character to add tension to my favorite soap. And Ms Tuck plays that role with such grace until she reveals her evil heart when she really shines in this role! Surely GH writers can pull one of their famous ‘not really dead’ storylines and keep her on the canvas to continually be stirring up trouble for all the ‘saints’ on GH! Maybe she could cause trouble for Elizabeth and her children (especially Jake), or Lulu and her children. Please GH! Keep Ms Tuck on as the new evil matriarch on GH!
GET IT @GH.
GAVEL.
“…I’ve always enjoyed Ms Tuck when she plays the ‘baddie’ on any soap. She does it with such an innocent look when she is playing the role until she is found out and then she can switch instantly into the most ‘evil Queen’ ”
well written @Glynda
I was struck with Jessica Tuck…. OK I never watched OLTL… so here I am realizing her potential. T-A-L-E-N-T
Jessica Tuck is an Amazing actor!!! I hope she comes back to life soon to breath life and her amazing talent to the GH canvas very soon. She was really intriguing, believable, genuine and I want more!!! Welcome back Jessica! Hope to see you soon!!! You were missed by me!.
I too wanted to see a scene with Jessica and James. I am thrilled that her character is in a coma. There is hope she comes back
she didn’t need to be so evil… and written in to a corner… as soon as she landed.
WOW did she ever… to generate all this , that quickly
I am enamored by James DePaiva… this could have been so good… and YES
what about Scotty ?
what about Kevin?
what about ….
she didn’t even have time to dance
I agree with su0000…she is the female version of Faison and will be back to wreak havoc on all those that crossed her. The only thing I wish GH did when they brought Jessica on, was to make her a long term character. ..she’s a great actress. Do I see another “twin” somewhere down the line
So happy to see her go. There is enough evil in Port Charles without adding more. She did the part justice but she’s not a long term character.
I didnt like this storyline and am glad it has come to an end. She could never replace the evil Helena as a villaness.
I loved seeing Jessica again. She did a wonderful job as Cassandra. I hope they will bring her back. GH needs a villain, she was filling Helenas shoes nicely.
Please bring back Cassandra 2x
I was a huge OLTL fan. OLTL Had some great characters and actors and I do miss them. That being said Gh also has great actors & characters that we barely see as it. GH cast keeps growing and we see less & less of our vets. Gh needs to focus on its own cast. We dont need new faces GH fans want to see more of our old crew, Spin, Epiphany,Max, Milo, Mac, TJ, Molly, not to mention we never see the kids. I love Jessica but would so love to see GH ‘s actors that have been put on recurring more.
I did not care for her character. She brought little to General Hospital. The story line was not necessary other to to bring Anna and Finn closer.
With her being in a coma she can alwaYs awake I mean they come b@ck from the dead. Yes she was rmtoo too evil but they could make her Hele as long lost dauvhter. She was great but i muat say she was superb as Vicky Lord$ daughter and finding out she haxd Lupus than dying from the disease was heartwrenching especially for me as a out the same time my brother passed away from Lupus.
Sbe a a supurb actress and GH would not do justice i. Letti g ber go!
Please bring Cassandra back
I think Peter August is Faison’s other son. He has the publishing connections. I think Dr Bensch has something to do with the Russian clinic too.
Should have kept her on longer. She was a good actress. I like Sunny he is getting boring. Cassandra would have been a perfect fit for GH.
So glad she’s gone. Didn’t care for her on GH. I would fast forward thru all her scenes.
GH should keep Ms. TUCK! She’s an amazing actress and always out does her character!! I loved her on One Life to Live and is an added bonus on GH. I’m a fan of GH, OLTL & MAC since the 60’s!!!
AMC not MAC, PLEASE!
No I believe that the guy at aurora is the other son ,that is why he insisted lulu does the story because she will find faison.
I really enjoyed seeing Jessica Tuck back on screen. I agree with an earlier comment about giving her some air time with James DePaiva. For us OLTL fans it would be fun to watch. Tuck did an excellent job playing the villain. Her final scenes with Finn were great. She could totally be the next generation Helena.
Absolutely non-redeemable character. She sold poison & threatened children. Even Val the Bastard couldn’t stand her.
That pretty much guarantees a lack of longevity for such a character. Jessica did a good job portraying her, but that doesn’t mean she should stick around.
Of course this is Port Charles, so she could always have a NOT evil twin pop up, right?
I’m glad to see her gone when they took her off but I do see her returning in a later scene to start mores
Start more trouble later.
Yes. The ending could have been a little better.
She could return. She’s only soap opera dead, and she’s not dead she’s in a coma. There is an outside chance she could come back.
Did not like Cassandra. Never liked Helena either.
She had a lot of potential, but they kind of cut her character short, made her too evil too fast. It was shame, because I thought she had real potential to be the new Helena. But nice work, Ms. Tuck!
I do not like Nell she is a little “B” hopes she has a miscarriage, she has done too many nasty things to Carly.. Time for her to go…..
I could not stand Cassandra. So glad she is gone.
Faisons other son Is Peter the Aurora editor that’s why he asked Lulu to try to find Faison. Plus if you remember he’s also the guy that shot Nathan doing the escape of Faison
Enjoyed Seeing her Agian Loved her on ill All great to see the older actor and she played that part Amazing hope to to see her back I’m sure We will at Some point I Hope Anyway
The door has been kept open, she’ll be Back for sure
No!!! I started watching GH again just for Jessica Tuck. I too was hoping for her and James Depaiva to reunite in at least one scene. Boo GH!! Bring her back ASAP!
I think the older brother could be Franco.
Well, a depraved serial killer being the son of a treasonous psycho terrorist like Faison would certainly make more sense than him being the son of Scott Baldwin – a somewhat sleazy lawyer (who will feel right at home here in Hell) but hardly one to pass on a lunatic gene.
But the last thing they need to do is put Frodd at the center of yet another storyline. He was the stinking pile of dragonshit that messed up the otherwise well done return of Jason.
And I’m not sure that even Faison would have put up with Heather.
Yes I was hopping they would keep on longer
Its about time a woman was portrayed in organized crime. Drugs and sex trafficking is full of women. GH needs to really keep this story and a female organized crime boss.. A Great rivalry for sonny and jason.
I like Jessica tuck. They should have kept her longer. Could have been a good story line for GH.
I really didn’t get her storyline. She seemed to be a little to comfy in Port Charles with her hoity-toity attitude. No offense, glad she has made an exit. So when is Morgan coming back ? And…..can we get rid of Nelle and get Michael someone to love for real???
Morgan will be back just in time for the May sweeps. Bet your soul on it! (It’s not gonna happen in February, because they’re obviously making that all about Faison)
I think she should could come back as a twin, and
As a new cop, a love interest / a mayor!
IS IT OVER ? already ?
I’ve seen two good scenes that make me want her more
1. that metro court scene with Jessica Tuck and Michelle Stafford… hair pull and which woman on top. that was full on REEL. that was just the tip of the iceberg .
are we going to say coulda woulda shoulda … is she going to relapse and coma out?
2. that scene with HER @ Michael Easton. when she read him the riot act.. about him and Anna going down. just prior to her blowing all that fairy dust in his face and he was rendered motionless and should have been given MORE DRUGS … because we dont’ need him. he’s uninteresting… always has been .
is this the case of coulda woulda shoulda ? I am just getting intrigued and , wallah, the writers quashed this way too soon
ALL FOR THE heroics and bash in the head each audience member.. that they simply must fall in love with the forced pairing of Anna and Finn.
Not seeing this pairing as a Long lasting one. JMO
I liked her but I willing want Sam and Jason back together I don’t like seeing Sam with Drew they are not right together so when is Jason and Sam getting back together. I hope it is soon.
Love GH
Ooooh, so evil, but such a Great actress!!! Thanks, Jessica, for playing such a “soapy” part, giving us someone else to get angry at. Last we know is that the WSB took you somewhere, right?? You could sure resurface again. It’s happened before…!!!
OK – that’s good. Jessica is worth the wait it out and see.
Whew ! this was the silliest of SHORT SHORT storyline ? what was it for ?
as silly and short as it was… kudos to Jessica for “working” her scripts. she generated a lot of appeal… without giving us any thing… what was she truly like ?
lots more questions … and what coulda been
I thought this was going to be drawn out and WHAT ? flesh out Finn ? no that’d be too tasking.
at least it brought Valentin and Anna back , for a bit.
