Hot on the heels of the news this morning, TV Guide Magazine’s Michael Logan released an interview with incoming GH returnee, Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin)!
The word is that Shriner will begin taping next Tuesday, January 22nd and will first air on February 19th. While Shriner is sworn to secrecy and does not know to much about what will go down, everyone is speculating that it will involve the reigniting of the Luke/Laura/Scotty triangle and feud. According to TVG, all ABC would say on Shriner’s return thus far is: “Scotty’s arrival in town will have a ripple effect on the Spencer family!” Here is an except from the interview below:
Shriner on when Scott returns how it will not sit well with Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) one bit!: “Yeah, I don’t think he’ll be throwing Scotty a party. If my character showed up and was involved with Laura (Genie Francis) it would really chap Luke’s hide. He would want to try and win her back, even if he has moved on with his life. This competition between them goes back 35 years so Ron Carlivati (GH, head writer) has so much story to pull from. We thought the ’80s at GH were wild, well, this could be even wilder. I can’t wait to get my grubby hands on that script. I don’t know what they’ve got planned for me. It’s very hush-hush-sweet-charlotte down there at ABC these days. Back in the old days we didn’t have all this texting and googling and tweeting to spoil storylines but, still, at the Luke and Laura wedding, Gloria Monty kept me locked in a trailer so the secret wouldn’t get out that Scotty was there to catch the bouquet. So, really, nothing’s changed!”
So soapers would you like to see Scott and Luke head to head for the love of Laura, one mo’ time? Let us know!

More of the Story on ‘General Hospital’ Star Josh Kelly’s Latest Film Role in ‘The Workout’
We had previously shared that General Hospital’s Josh Kelly was taking three weeks away from his role of Cody Bell to a shoot a role in an upcoming movie entitled The Workout.
Josh originally revealed his role in the film during an episode of GH castmates, Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson’s (Spinelli) podcast.
Now Deadline has filled in some of the blanks, and shared some intriguing intel on the premise of the film and its back-story. The film stars Kelly along with Peter Jae, and UFC Fighter, Ashlee Evans-Smith. Other cast members include The Bay’s Kristos Andrews.

In The Workout, two army rangers set out to create a workout video, but their plans are abruptly halted when a mob hit interrupts their filming. Tragically, one of the rangers loses his wife in the attack, sending him on a relentless mission to take down the mob and anyone who stands in his way.
The film from James Cullen Bressack, almost did not get financed. Apparently, ten days before his birthday, Bressack made a post on Instagram about the feature and production, casting, and financing came from the post … illustrating the power of social media. After the post gained traction, a producer provided financing and actors expressed interest in joining the project, leading to a quick production.

In a statement, Bressack shared, “As artists a painter paints, a musician makes music, a writer writes, but as filmmakers we have to ask permission to create. It’s time to change that narrative. This film spawned from a necessity to create. We create. We tell stories. We play pretend. I’m excited to take this journey. This is the truest form of collaboration and a community of friends coming together to make something fun. While our industry has had a rough time recently with strikes and a possible strike looming in the future, it’s nice to remind ourselves why we got into film to begin with. To have fun telling stories.”
No word yet on when The Workout will be released.
So, looking forward to seeing this collaborative effort featuring GH’s Josh Kelly? Comment below.

I am so happy he is coming back he and Genie Francis work well together thank you FV&RC for really researching this soap and bringing it back to it’s glory.
Oh yeah…Scottie is always fun and Luke would be jealous.
But, really Laura deserves better–perhaps Robert Scorpio?
I love Scotty and I am so happy to hear he is returning to GH. He was quite the teen heart throb in 1973
glad hes back, but not for Laura, what he did to Lulu was unforgivable
More good news! But where oh where is Jackie Zeman??!!
Don’t want Laura back with Luke at all. AG is ancient next to the young and vibrant Francis. He looks like her grandfather. Luke & Laura were good in there heyday but not today,it’s old news and Laura may love Scotty but she’s no longer in love with him so I don’t see that lasting either. Bring back Stephen Nichols and Stefan Cassadine as Genie/Stephens chemistry was off the charts and have them rekindle their love affair. The Luke/Scotty/Laura triangle has been done to death and frankly I’m over it and could care less. Being that Luke stayed with Tracey and didn’t go with Laura even though she told him he didn’t have to doesn’t say much for their love. Stefan would of gone to the ends of the earth for his Lasha. Please no to Luke/Scotty. Laura needs her Cassadine or maybe a man like Mac. She needs to stand on her own without these too losers. Keep Luke with Tracy, Laura’s days of whining after him are long gone and I hope the writers give her something of her own without having to share it with Luke for once! AG has gotten away with murder having all the best stories written for him over the years and getting the longest vacation time over every other actor while GF has been thrown under the bus over and over. Now it’s time to let Genie shine!
I always wanted Scotty and Laura Back together in a Mature relationship (Not a revisit of their youth, like in 2001) . I hope the big secret is scotty and laura are married and have a child. Luke will go nuts and Laura will be more responsible and stronger.
They should bring back Serena as well,Carly Schroeder has become a beautiful young woman,and it would be fun to see Serena come between Michael and Starr.
i hope the story plays out that laura & scotty have been “together” in paris all this time – i can’t wait to see kin & genie back home @ gh!
My first introduction to SOLAR (Scott and Laura) was 12 years ago. I loved them together then and I am looking so foward to seeing them now. And as pointed out, Scott, like Laura, has a lot of history with Port Charles, including Lucy Coe, Kevin, Bobby, the Qs … the “Scotty Baldwin” character has been on General Hospital almost from the beginning and no GH reboot could be complete without including him.
I see that according to IMDB, Peter Hansen and Susan Brown are still around as well. Would be nice to see Scotty visit mom and dad, even maybe just once!
I just love GH now!! I just Love it!! Love that my OLTL people are on here and the old gh people r back!! It is great!! todays show with LUCY and CALEB sooooooooo funny!!!
Can’t wait for OLTL to come back and happy for amc as well…this is a great week in soap news and stories…Robin strasser back too!! love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRING ROBIN BACK PRONTO DON’T MAKE PATRICK LOOK LIKE A FOOL WITH ANOTHER CRAZY BITCH DOCTOR STOP WITH THE VAMPIRES LET SAM AND JOHN FALL IN LOVE SINCE STEVE BURTON ABANDONED HIS GH FANS BRING BACK MATURE CARLEY NOT THE DESTRUCTIVE PATHETIC MESS SHE IS TURNING INTO SHUT TRACY UP SHE WAS GREAT WHEN SHE WAS VULNERABLE WITH LUKE LET TODD GASLIGHT HEATHER LOVE FELICIA AND MACK BRING BACK THE REAL SPINELLI HE AND MAXIE ARE GREAT TOGETHER
Bring back Brenda,we need a Sonny and Brenda reunion. Bring back Laura to be with Scottie,make him nice again and let Luke be with someone else,love Sam and. Silas,let Jason be with Carly,do not bring Ajax back,he is boring. Love Anna and Robert,not Duke,would love a Cassadine adventure again,except Luke is too old for it to be believable,Dante is boring,need a new. Lulu. Nina is boring,Ava is stupid character,love Julian and Alexis,they would be great on a “ice princess” adventure!
