Rumors were swirling on Twitter tonight after General Hospital’s Scott Reeves (Dr. Steven Webber) mysterious tweet which indicated that the actor may have finished his last days in Port Charles.  Reeves tweeted about four hours ago, “Love you all! Looking forward to seeing what God has next!”

However, it has now been revealed and confirmed through Reeves himself in a follow up tweet just a short time ago relating to his fans, “Hey guys, u know how much u mean 2 me and I wanted u 2 hear it from me. I was let go from GH today and my last day should b in Feb sometime.”

This came a day after General Hospital executive producer, Frank Valentini tweeted about the performance of Reeves on-screen lady love, Lisa LoCicero (Olivia).  Valentini’s message to his followers and fans of GH was,  “Amazing scenes taped today with @lisalocicerogh, can’t wait for you all to see them.”

So what do you think about Reeves being let-go from GH?  Are you sorry to see him go?  Let us know! On-Air On-Soaps wishes Scott all the best in his next endeavor!

i’m not a fan of Reeves, but the show can’t kill of a webber, this would be awful.

More room for OLTL actors? Def need more… Maybe he could head over to Days and be with his wife and they could write him in on that show and lose some bad storylines over there…

they need to do SOMETHING over there!

I agree more OLTL actors? Erika Slezak!!!!

It sucks!! GH has brought on 3 newbies to the hospital and are letting a legacy character go. Makes me wonder who is next.

And they also have brought back how many legacy characters!!! How about people spend more time supporting what IS happening and less ridiculing what ISN’T happening. It sucks he’s leaving. And it sucks it’s another legacy character. However, they’re knocking it out of the park right now and the three newbies are helping. “Newbies” have to start somewhere. Sonny was a newbie once upon a time. Jason was a newbie once upon a time. Dante was a newbie once upon a time. Give em a shot before you count them out.

Agreed! The old regime didn’t know what to do with him either.

I’m hoping it is the girl that plays Christina. Oh, how I wish she goes off with Trey!

They really didn’t. And I almost thought that with him being apart of the AJ cover up, that’d end up being more story for him. But I get it. I think the character was written into the ground awhile back, and they just couldn’t figure out how to make him work, without changing the character in his integrity.
It sucks he’s leaving, but if it’s better for the show and storylines and characters to bring another character in, then I say make the best of it.
Besides, he’s soooo talented, I just can’t imagine him not getting picked up on another show, whether it’s daytime or Primetime, sooner than later!

Yeah, I thought Steve and Monica would get into some type of trouble with the AJ thing too but looks like they decided to go in another direction there altogether.
I never liked Olivia/Steve together and to me, she’s become so bumbling that I don’t enjoy watching her either.
Scott is talented and he probably enjoys life in TN more than Hollywood so maybe he’ll pick up a gig here & there. Who knows, Y&R may get him back!

agree

Ditto!

I am very upset to hear the news about Scott Reeves leaving GH!! I like his character Steve and I Love him together with Lisa LoCicero. 🙁

I really like Scott Reeves & L.L. together, he wasn’t used near enough-the writers did not do him any justice. They should not recast or kill him off – don’t like Lucy Coe so hope this isn’t to make room for her, would rather see more OLTL characters, especially Melissa Archer.

I’m kinda like him alot and so as Erik Valdo who played Trey Mitchel aka Joe Scully,Jr….too bad, I will missed them alot before GH’s 50th Anniversary…I’m pretty upset that Scott Reeves will leaves after he joined in 2008, I mean don’t give me all wrong, they r very good decent actor played their wonderful character!!! I will miss them alot. I still taped GH on the road to April 1 since Feb. 14,2012 right before Robin was killed by lab exposive.

once again gh and abc screws up fv and rc suck

l love scott reeves , they are so stupid

bring in all these new boring, young actors and i use that word lightly
and get rid of scott stupid!!!

we already lost steve burton, i know he wanted to leae but they should have
done anything to keep him

and very glad maurice benard is staying they do know they need him!!!

i say get rid of all that silly dr staff, surrounding poor patrick and bring back
robin to give him some storyline people want to see

I am. Scott is such a good-looking actor, with talent to match. It’s probably best seeing as how he was extremely underused. I was hoping he would be apart of a good story coming up in the future.
Definite loss for the show, but, hopefully a great opportunity for his career. I’m sure he’ll pop up sooner or later on something else.

I totally agree with you HugoBoss. I am sorry to see Scott go, but clearly his expertise was not showcased on GH, which is too bad, as he is talented (and goooood looking), and I liked him with Olivia, and was hoping that relationship would have been explored in some way. I also hope this will give Scott the chance to entertain new roles, yet I hope both he and Steve Burton will remain with “Port Chuck”. Here is hoping they give me a good storyline between now and the time he goes. Much good luck to Steve and his future endeavors.

Just because SR is leaving doesn’t mean that GH is getting rid of Steve,they can always recast the role.

True!

Shame on gh for letting him go! He is such an outstanding actor and wonderful person. Instead of letting him go how about giving him a frontline story! Stop bringing in these new charactors we don’t care about and that i really cant name because i have even forgotten them,,,,and work the actors that we do care about, Show him more as a family man with liz , Olivia and him could really be a super couple if you would just give them a chance!

Scott can do anything! Talented actor, good looking, singer, he can now be free just like Steve to go on further. Now Bradford and Brandon need to do the same!

I like Scott Reeves. He is talented and was not given enough screen time for character development. He is very good looking and this part of his character was not played up. I would rather watch more of him than the same worn to death character with too much screen time.

I wish Scott the best of luck.

So glad he’s going, never cared much for Steve and there are so many better characters, so happy Lucy Coe is coming back- yay Lynn herring. Use that budget savings and bring back more characters we love. Laters Scott, at least Missy’s still working.

Well I feel the exact opposite. Like Steve and have never been able to stand Lucy. She is disgusting. Please tell me this is a short term visit or I might have to puke. So conceited, I’m sure she will find a way to make the Nurses Ball all about her like always. Gag

And I feel the exact opposite of you. Scott Reeves is about as interesting an actor as a walking paper bag would be. Lynn Herring sparkles and brings magic to GH. I hope it’s a permanent return.

not happy about it; like the actor and his character. each time someone leaves, whether on their own volition or if they’re let go…it takes a bit away from the show. ya miss em! sigh…

I totally agree Rebecca. It takes a little piece of GH away for each character that leaves.

Not happy to hear this. Dumb decision. Things started out well with the new regime but lately things have been tilting the other way. I hope that stops soon. Scott is talented and I was happy when they brought Steve back. Like he and Olivia together. This is stupid.

He wasn’t my favorite…can’t say I looked forward to seeing him. Maybe he just wasn’t written well. BUT, give Elizabeth a storyline! She’s being wasted chatting up the nurses!

Steve is a talented actor. Will miss his character. GH’s loss will hopefully be another soap’s gain and soon!

Sorry but they made his character too dour and dull to enjoy and pairing him with equally boring Olivia made things worse. Hope she heads off with him.

As for bringing back the Hardy/Webber family here are some suggestions:

1. Bring back Sarah Webber-only this time GH cast a good actress in the role please!

2. Matthew Ashford, who last played Tom Hardy is available (thanks DOOL RME) so how about bringing him back in the role?

3. Tom’s son, Tommy was last seen in 1996 and about what 4 years old so that means now he’d almost 20 years old? Bring him on and GH won’t even have to SORA to do it for once LOL!

4. I know Rachel Ames is retired but at she’s still alive right? Maybe GH can beg her to return, even if on recurring for an occasional appearance. I would take that even if it meant not always having to hear Liz mention her offscreen babysitting her kids. I want to see Audrey now and then please!

Just my thoughts. Jenny

I agree. I don’t think Steve and Olivia were all that exciting to watch. I really don’t think GH knows what to do with Olivia either which is why she’s just having hallucinations here & there – I’m betting she may be next. Quite honestly, I don’t think the show knows what to do with Elizabeth and I wouldn’t feel too bad if she left the show.

Sad to see him go… He was not used that much even when Heather was on. I am hoping that this has nothing to do with his beliefs. I hope Missy keeps her job at DOOL. They do have TN to get back to and I am glad SB is there with them…still wish SB was coming back.

Not happy I love him as Steve webber!!!

I am so sad here another GH BEING LET GO. NOT FAIR.ARE THEY LETTING ALL GH CASTS GO TO BRING OLTL CASTS ON THE SHOE. SO NOT FAIR. I BEEN WATCHING GH SINCE 1980S. NOW I GUESS I WON’T BE WATCHING THAT MUCH WISH JACK WAGNER(FTISCO) AND KIMBERLY MCCULLOUGH(
ROBIN) COMES BACK. ALONG WITH STEVE BURTON(JASON). DON’T LET SCOTT REEVES GO PLEASE.

TASH:(:(:(

Not sorry to see him go. I think he should either go to Tennessee and be a preacher or maybe play a gay man on Days and his wife can “convert” him. Just joking. I really don’t care where he goes. Just go.

It is too bad that Scott has been let go, but lets be fair..if you were male during the Phelps/Guza regime, and your name was not Jason or Sonny, you didnt stand a chance. And Ron wrote the character as such a freakin dolt. It is sad because Reeves is a solid leading man, and he is a legacy character on the show. The fact that they are bringing on an effiminate gay nurse with ties to no one on the canvas is especially unsettling. I pray that God will lead Reeves into a new and rewarding jov where his talents will be utilized and appreciated.

So this where I get unhappy about all the returns
Fasion/Duke(not a fan) and I’ve been watching
30 yrs.Ugh who’s next..Bad choice GH.

I’m happy for him…maybe now he’ll find a show that will appreciate him and write for him. Even though GH is much better these days, the new writers haven’t done Scott any favors, so he’s better off elsewhere.

He is not a good actor.

Boring actor. Hasta la Vista.

This is a misstep for GH in my opinion. I was hoping to see more of the Webber family integrated in some more human (as opposed to outrageous adventure) storylines. Reeves rocks and I liked his chemistry with other characters.

I will miss him, but GH did not utilize his potential. Guys like Scott are one of the reasons I love to watch soaps- great actor and hot as fire. Plus he has a long history with soaps and is a familiar face to fans of other shows checking out GH. How long will it take show executives to figure this out 🙁

I think it sucks I like Olivia and Steve’s chemistry they were just starting to bloom 🙂 we always get the shaft as fans. Start toreally enjoy the actors and they take then away from us…

eh, the character was one of my least favorite on the show. they made him a buffoon with the whole Heather thing and I d like to see Olivia utilized more.

I’m not sad…I never thought he had good chemistry with Olivia and his character never clicked with audiences. Good luck to him, though! He and his family are all so gorgeous, it’s just not fair!

I never cared for him personally, or professionally. Won’t miss him a bit. Wonder if he will now make Missy quit DOOL (again). Wouldn’t surprise me.

Hope not!

This is stupid. You fire Scott for no name actors, including a gay character. Don’t like this and will never watch GH again.

It’s a shame his character wasn’t developed and he was only a prop for Olivia and Heather. He had more to give and TPTB didn’t take advantage of it!! What a shame!
I wish him well and that his next endeavor will focus on his acting abilities and wonderful nature! Gone but not forgotten!!

What???? SR is on GH? I have been watching for a month and never seen him. I guess that might explain why he was let go, obviously his character isn’t on the radar right now. Now I will have to watch everyday as not to miss any of his last shows. I would love if he went back to Days- he was on there as part of a teen line when his wife first started on the show. I think they met on set there. I rather see the character Jennifer Horton on Days with anyone else but Daniel. He is always staring at her like she is a pork chop and he hasn’t eaten in a month. It is creepy to watch. So it would great to have SR work his wife again. I hope Days is smart enough to get him back into fold.

GH should not be letting go of a legacy character! I will miss Scott. At least his wife is still on Days. I wish him well in his future endeavors.

Hope they just send him on vacation….. Dont kill Steve Webber off.

Not a fan of GH and certainly NO fan of the Reeves’ family, especially after Melissa’s Chik-Fil-A controversry earlier this year. I’m surprised she even still has a job!

I dont usually post directly at others but what a bigoted, hateful comment you posted. You dont know these people at all! You just wished that a family would lose their livelihood because they believe in God and you don‘t! So, because they dont share your view on gay, that gives you the right to bash and attack them and wish them harm? Wow! Youre crying for acceptance, but then bashing people who dont happen to share your view, which is the very thing youre accusing them of! Double standard much? Youre into free speech as long as it doesnt offend you, and when it does offend you, then suddenly free speech isnt so good. Hey? You cant have that both ways. I am a Christian, but I have gay friends and family members and just pray for their well being and love them. Melissa Reeves did nothing more than state that she enjoys eating at a restaurant. For that she should lose a job in an industry that she has been a beloved part of for 28 years?? If thats how you feel…then you are the bigoted hater!

You go girl Ashlee!!

Ashlee – No one’s crying for acceptance….

i didn’t read any one wishing ill will on any one’s livelihood.

I like Scott, and his resemblance to his TV dad, Richard Dean Anderson, is uncanny! This is a pity, but if this helps to put Tristan Rogers on contract as Robert Scorpio, more power to them! Any chance of getting Kin Shriner to return????

would love to see Tristan back on contract!! Wouldn’t mind seeing Kin back either 🙂

I was just thinking about Scott and his lack of storyline on GH. Wishing Scott Reeves good luck, such a nice guy! Hey, Missy has a big storyline at Days so maybe Scott can hang out in TN more 🙂

Chic-fil-a is hiring! Sorry could not resist ! Lol

I hate seeing Scotty, go. This will also probably mean, that Lisa is gone, as well. I love them together. The hospital needs a chief of staff..why not keep Scott? I’m afraid this will further flame the angry fans, who are not happy with the OLTL actors….and now the GH actors are being let go. Sad.

He is very hot- they haven’t used him enough of given him enough screen time.

Such a shame! Y&R has spent YEARS showcasing the sibling relationship. Why can’t GH figure it out? So much untapped potential…. Steve & Liz could have investigated mysteries, started a business, moved into the Cassadine mansion, secretly joined the INS like Robert and Anna…. we’ll never know.

🙁

Scott seems like a sweet a guy and is a great actor. He jsut never took off as Steven Webber. I mean the character was given a hot girlfriend and crazy mother yet still managed to be boring.

unfortunately, I have to agree…. Scott Reeves, Steven just didn’t have it, with the likes of the ubber talented Heather Webber, and the “mega-watt” favorite, Elizabeth… and let alone… Olivia…. ie: i was finally starting to like her… as the LSD hallucinagens.. and/or visions take off… I liked Olivia with Kate as well… when and if we ever get to see her and the cousins again….

it just saddens me to the point that other actors, fall by the wayside… as in no story for ….. Heather, Elizabeth, and Olivia… 3 good actors.

I’m very upset and sad to hear of Scott Reeves leaving GH. Don’t know the whole story, but my opinion is the “powers that be” made a wrong decision in firing Scott. I hate to see so many of my GH family leaving! Love you Scott and love your character as Steve Webber. I sure am going to miss you. God bless you and your family.

Scott was hangeron by Steve Burton……He only stayed on because Steve Burton
was here……Now Steve Burton has left….he has to go!……..he is:

Too Short

His wife is anti-gay

But if ABC is willing to do do a recast….I wouldn’t mind

but I do not like Lizze Webber…she could go to!(Rebecca Herbst)….I don’t think
she can’t act….just look good, that all the talent she has!…..both SR and RH..were
croonies with Steve!

Now let Steve Back, so he can claim his child!

In the meantime let John and Sam be.. until Jason (Steve) comes back

Merry Xmas Jason and Danny and Sam!!!!

Does this also mean Heather Webber, Steven Lars’ mom, will also go? They are some of the last characters left from the golden age of GH. TheH show is in very good hands now with Mr. Valentini. All his decisions must be trusted

Well it seems like it’s after the Nurses Ball. So I guess they ran out of ideas for his character. But he could at least be a recurring character.

Oh well…

Won’t miss him. He’s a mediocre actor at best.

The newbies, the three girls are not nessasary!! they did not give Steve a very good story line, maybe they can recast, he is a legacy character.

I agree. The new girl trio and Felix are ridiculous and need to go. I never really liked Reeves in that role, but I wish they wouldn’t let a legacy character go. I think they should recast in a few months if they can work up a decent story line for the character.

Oh, and he should take Olivia with him. I’ve been over that character for a while. She doesn’t really fit with anything going on in PC these days, especially with Steve gone.

That stinks. Reeves is awesome when he is given good material!!

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

For information on Nancy’s event, including the stars who are s scheduled to participate click here. To purchase tickets to the event click here.

Check out the video featuring Nancy’s friends and co-stars below.  Now let us know, your thought son the line-up for the benefit and helping raise awareness and funds for ALS research via the comment section.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Courtesy/ABC

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

Photo: ABC

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Photo: ABC

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
