When daytime fan favorite, Kassie DePaiva, drops into Port Charles and General Hospital, she will be reprising her One Life to Live role as Blair Cramer.

Circle this Friday, September 15th for the start of Kassie’s stint.

According to TV Line, in story, it will be revealed that Blair is the ‘mysterious’ third wife of Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight).  Look for DePaiva to share scenes not only with Knight, but the one and only Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine).

This is not Blair’s first trip to Port Charles. DePaiva brought her Llanview alter-ego to GH back in March of 2012, just two months after One Life to Live went off the air on ABC.

At that time, Blair was part of a story arc on GH that lasted several months, along with Roger Howarth, who was then playing Todd Manning.  Howarth is still on the show today in his third incarnation as Austin Gatlin-Holt.

Fans may remember the “What If'” ABC Daytime short-form stories and promos.  One of which featured Knight as AMC’s Tad Martin meeting DePaiva’s Blair Cramer on an airplane flight. You can check that out below.

So, what do you think about Blair being liked up with Martin on GH? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Thank you for the heads up. I can’t wait to see the one and only Blair Cramer again. I love Kassie DePaiva and pairing her with Michael E. Knight is brilliant. I also can’t wait to see Blair trade punches with Tracy Quartermaine. Good thing this show is about a hospital.

Kassie wasn’t “the only” Blair Cramer as another actress of a whole different ethnicity played Blair when the character debuted and married Asa. Although, technically at that time she was going by Blair Dahmler.

I most definitely do remember Mia Korf as the original Blair. Blair came on the scene was quite a pistol: doing the horizontal mambo (I got that euphemism from RJ Gannon) with Max on top of the gown she was going to wear to marry Asa.

Oh how I miss One Life to Live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At Asa’s fake funeral, when each of the ex-wives flashback to their wedding day is classic. After showing Mia’s Blair at the altar, Kassie checks her compact mirror. Exceptionally clever!

Yes, I remember. Another of the many reasons the I love OLTL. They weren’t afraid to poke fun at themselves. Asa’s fake funeral was a hoot.

Ugh…

There was no reason to bring her back to GH, except for picking up the “ball” that was dropped in 2012, and that was the “mystery” of whether that “Tomas” dude from OLTL was actually Lorenzo Alcazar, a person who most of Port Charles believed to be dead, but who was never actually in Hell (and he damned sure would not have been in Heaven!)

The story was dropped of course, because of the Prospect Park legal hassles and never mentioned again. But it’s a relevant issue now, because Alcazar is the most likely suspect to be the guy behind the shadowy “Pikeman” mercenary arms smuggling group that gave Sonny the “offer he couldn’t refuse”. Alcazar, under his own name, previously tried to move weapons through Sonny’s territory and was told that would never happen.

There’s nothing interesting at all about her being Marty’s ex wife. In fact, I was hoping his ex wife would be Faith Roscoe, who is known to have escaped from Hell (sorry about that) and her being married to Marty would explain how Cyrus got involved with the “Pawtuck Mafia”

Kassie DePaiva’s return to GH is casting genius. GH has the best actresses in daytime. You remember her on OLTL but I loved her as Chelsea Reardon on the historic Guiding Light. Now if we could get Kim Zimmer to sign on at GH, that hospital would be rocking!

Kim said a few things in interviews with Michael Logan about her OLTL return as Echo that rubbed Frank the wrong way. Highly unlikely we’ll see her in PC.

Now I don’t want to offend the Dark Lord.. but I hope Blair becomes a long term character. I hope ABC show bring back OLTL in some form and use this a it’s lead spin off… I still have a small percentage of hope for this.

I agree with you. I want Blair to be a regular cast member. I would much rather have her on OLTL, but I love seeing old familiar characters return, that I have missed for so long. Fans want All My Children and OLTL back, even a 30 minute format will do!!!

Not going to happen, ABC is owned by Disney for now..

I don’t believe in Hell or Satan so I’m loving the fact that Blair is back.

Too much fun! What mess will Blair make messier? Can’t wait to see.

Kassie is a great add to the show, now we need Kim Zimmer to be Austin’s mother

See reply above as why that’s unlikely. Although the character isn’t necessary, Jill Larson would make a great Charity Gatlin.

Kim is happily retired, and GH could not afford her anyway.

Bad girl—Good girl……Always a pleasure to see Kassie..

Couldn’t stand her on Days, but she pairs up well with Tracy, the other witch.

Hey, Violet—loved Kassie as Blair on OLTL—hope she hangs around for a long, long while. Imagine if she and Austin hooked up??

Celia, sorry this time I can’t agree with you. I can’t stand this actress . Guess her role on Days just ruined it for me. She was a real bitch in plain English.. I like Austin and until proven otherwise I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. I haven’t seen anyone yet that I like for him. Even Ava is too harsh for him as far as I’m concerned.

Running to watch it right now! Great idea for GH. Hopefully it’ll be well received and it’ll lead to more. And with Kassie Depaiva it’ll most likely be good!

Jon Lindstrom and Cady McClain Announce They Have Ended Their Marriage

After much speculation, General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) and Cady McClain (ex-Jennifer, DAYS, ex-Rosanna, ATWT, ex-Dixie, AMC et al) have officially confirmed and announced they have gone their separate ways and have ended their marriage.

For months on social media, it was clear that the two were seemingly apart, not appearing pictured in any of each others posts.

Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart. After serious consideration we have decided that our goals have been taking us in different directions and to end our marriage.”

As to the future, Jon and Cady explained, “We remain friends and wish each other every happiness. As people who work in the public eye, it can be difficult to have a private life. Regardless, we ask for your kind consideration in this matter.”

Jon and Cady met when they both appeared on As the World Turns, he as Craig Montgomery, and she as Rosanna Cabot. After four years together, the couple decided to get married in 2014.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
