Awaiting trial, Stefano seemingly suffered a fatal stroke. 1984: Using the code name Phoenix, Stefano framed Roman for a series of murders, Roman uncovered that Stefano had faked his death with help from nurse Kelly Chase, who he then killed (along with Trista, Eugene's wife).

He was foiled by Roman, then was briefly presumed dead again when his limo plunged into icy waters. A not-so-dead Stefano needed a mysterious trio of prisms to cure his brain tumor.

Stefano and Peter schemed to kill John. 1994: Stefano forced Marlena to confess that she had cheated on Roman with John, resulting in Belle. John linked Stefano to Curtis Reed's murder.

When Laura found out both about Kristen's flat tummy and Peter's non-death, Stefano wiped out her memory.

1997: Susan learned that Stefano had impregnated her (with the future EJ) via in vitro fertilization. Stefano kept Jack's cellmate, Travis, on his payroll. Stefano helped Kristen (who'd been busted for her baby lie) foil John and Marlena's wedding with the "gift" of a presumed-dead Roman.

Lulu’s Having a Baby? No, But Emme Rylan Is!!!

Emme Rylan might play the most baby-obsessed character on soaps right now, and clearly, it’s not a stretch. Yes, Lulu found her long-lost daughter via stolen embryo just as Rylan announced she’s pregnant. On Friday night, the actress made it official on Instagram with an adorable slideshow telling everyone how happy and excited she is–and it culminated with an ultrasound picture giving the big news away. Fans had suspected something might be up when Lulu started wearing looser clothing and carrying around strategically-placed props, and it looks like they were right. Rylan and her partner, Dan Money, already have two sons, Jackson, 7, and Levi 5. No word on when this new little one is expected to make his or her arrival. General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.

Bradford Anderson Offers Apology to General Hospital Fans

General Hospital viewers are going to notice that Spinelli looks a little bit different. That’s because actor Bradford Anderson is being replaced by another actor — Blake Berris — at the last minute because Anderson accepted a recurring role on the upcoming season of Showtime’s Homeland, leaving the ABC soap in a lurch. The very popular actor took to social media to explain why he won’t soon play Spinelli and to make sure fans know it was because of him — not GH — that there is a change. Stepping into the very big tech-savvy shoes will be Berris, known to fans as Nick on Days of Our Lives. He also sent out a message to GH fans on social media, trying to put minds at ease. You can see both messages below. General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC. Share your thoughts, leave a comment in the section below. Win exclusive member-only GH spoilers, prizes, and more: sign up here! Also, join the conversation on our Facebook page. Hey all! So I’m appearing in a couple episodes of the upcoming season of Homeland on Showtime! It’s a show that I’ve watched and loved since it began, so to be working on it is pretty exciting. The unfortunate part is that it conflicted with some episodes of GH that I was supposed to do, and I had to back out of those episodes. To make it even worse, it all happened last minute. I put GH in a very difficult position and for that I am incredibly sorry. GH took whatever steps they needed to proceed without me. My plea to you is to be compassionate, understanding, and appreciative of whatever decisions they made. If anything looks or sounds different than you’re used to, understand that it’s because of a decision that I made. The situation was created by ME. I know some might rush to negativity, but I'd like to urge everyone to think about how unique our genre is, and how soaps truly embody the spirit of "the show must go on". To give you an idea of hard GH had to work, they learned on a Friday that I wouldn't be there to film on Monday. Imagine having to find an actor to play Spin in an important storyline, OVER A WEEKEND. And just wait til you see who they found... The perfect choice. I for one can't wait to watch. I’d like to apologize to everyone at GH and thank them for being understanding of my predicament. SO thank you all for your continued support of me, for sending as much positivity to GH and it’s actors…and for WATCHING!! Love and thanks, Bradford https://www.facebook.com/bfordanderson/posts/1537236782961007

What Port Charles Couple Were Fans Saddest to See Split in 2016?

Breaking up and making up is what soap opera couples do, and the lovebirds on General Hospital are no exception. Of course, sometimes the split is for good, but even when an actor leaves the show and/or the character dies on-screen, fans still reserve the right to hold out hope. So which Port Charles twosome caused the most tears when they went their separate ways this year – and was this, as Cher would say, really their last good-bye? Almost 4.000 GH fans had this to say: Carson City A full 64% of you were crushed by Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s (Laura Wright) latest split, despite the fact that this is GH’s signature, can’t-live-with-them-can’t-live-without-them (although, in Sonny’s case, can’t-kill-them isn’t off the table) couple. Come on, folks, this is a duo that survived their son’s multi-year coma, Sonny shooting Carly in the head while she was giving birth, multiple affairs, infinite lies, and the fact that no matter how much they try to hide it, deep down, they are both horrible, selfish, sadistic people. If they can work through those obstacles to reunite over and over again, they can work through anything. Hey, Miki! Morgan (Bryan Craig) and Kiki (Hayley Erin) don’t have the star-crossed history that Morgan’s parents, Sonny and Carly, do (though they did share an STD, and that’s pretty bonding), but 23% of fans were still heartbroken by their breakup. With Morgan being presumed dead, their odds of happily-ever-after would seem bleaker than most (plus the fact that Kiki was already planning to dump him even before that). But considering death is a mere hiccup on soaps, a 2017 reunion still isn’t out of the question! Julian Calendar Attorney Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) stands for truth, justice, the American way, and women’s rights. Just ask her, she’ll be happy to tell you. (Or don’t ask her, she’ll tell you anyway). Except when it comes to men. If they’re hot enough, Alexis has no problem overlooking their tendency to kill, steal, manipulate the legal system, and exploit women (as well as underage girls). Except when she doesn’t. Alexis married mobster Julian (William deVry) because staring at his six-pack abs was enough to convince her he’d changed. Turned out the abs lied, and he was still a Very, Very Bad Man. So they broke up, upsetting 12% of you. Let’s hope you don’t end up turning to the bottle to deal with it, like Alexis has. General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Goodbye, Dylan?

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal Dylan is heading out of the city for a dangerous mission and he may never come back. A Dangerous Investigation! Christine’s (Lauralee Bell) offer to fly Dylan (Steve Burton) to Miami so they can take down a drug lord is just what the detective needs. He’s drowning in sorry and needs to get away from all the sadness and stress. Life in Genoa City hasn’t been kind to Dylan, and it’s time he walks away. No Reason to Stay! Dylan’s life took a traumatic turn when he gave Christian back to Nick (Joshua Morrow). Losing a third child is more than any man should ever go through and it’s wearing on his heart and soul. It’s been a whirlwind of battles, sorrow, and emotions, and he can’t take it anymore. Sharon Freaks Out! Unfortunately, Sharon (Sharon Case) doesn’t take the news of Dylan’s departure well. She loves him more than any man and can’t imagine not seeing him every day. Sharon knows he’s suffering, and she’s suffering as well, but running away is extreme. To make things worse, being undercover means she won’t hear from him until the mission’s over, whether that’s days, months, weeks, or even years. Is Dylan Really Leaving? Dylan would rather take on one of the most dangerous cases he’s come across than wait around in this place for one more. The risk to his life means nothing anymore since the loss of his precious baby. The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS. Share your thoughts, leave a comment in the section below.

Sybil the Psychic Predicts the Future: Steve Steps Up

Steve has had a lot on his plate this year, but I – Sybil the Psychic – plan to look into his Days of Our Lives future to see what’s ahead for him. By examining my crystal ball, laying out the cards, and reading the tea leaves, I will predict what’s coming up for Steve (Stephen Nichols). But I make no promises, because let’s face it – it’s not an exact science (and I’m not really that…talented). Okay, it’s time to dig in. Near Future The crystal ball shows that Steve has been in a very good place lately, reconnecting with the love of his life, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), and learning that he’s going to be a grandfather – thanks to son Joey (James Lastovic). But that particular piece of good news looks to be short-lived. Storm clouds are on the horizon, spelling out an upcoming loss, though how much isn’t quite clear. A Few Weeks Down the Line Steve reached in and pulled out the Six of Swords card from the tarot deck. With regards to the past, he has overcome a major hurdle while remaining true to himself. There is still trouble ahead, but the worst is behind him. As for the present, there will be a change in his life for the better – a burden or challenge he faces will yield a new path. For the future, the challenges he face will eventually be overcome. There appears to be travel in his future as well as a happy For the future, the challenges he faces will eventually be overcome. There appears to be travel in his future as well as a happy return of family. Long Forecast In reading the consultant’s tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, there was a bird, again indicating travel – this one is good luck in the direction he flies. The small tea leaves are forming a line, thus another indicator of a journey. The letter “S” was near the bird, so the travel could have something to do with someone whose name begins with an S.

Sweet Nelle’s Gone Rogue…And Carly’s Life Will Never Be The Same

Alleged do-gooder Nelle has suddenly gone rogue and looks bent on destroying Sonny and Carly’s lives on General Hospital. Nelle (Chloe Lanier) started out sugary sweet and Carly quickly ended up hiring her as her personal assistant and Avery’s part-time nanny. Bobbie (Jacklyn Zeman) thought there was something off about her from the get go and apparently, she was right. Out of nowhere, Nelle drugged Sonny, undressed him, and put him to bed. She then stripped down and crawled in next to him. The next morning, she made him believe they’d had sex. Nearly 5,000 fans weighed in with their thoughts about this twisted storyline. Wrap It Up Messing with Mr. and Mrs. Corinthos while they’re mourning Morgan’s death is deplorable to 83% of fans. You want this plot to end, and you want Nelle caught as quickly as possible. Poor Sonny (Maurice Benard) doesn’t deserve to be played like this, and for that matter, neither does Carly (Laura Wright). They’ve both been nothing but good to Nelle since she arrived in Port Charles. Continue On A small 10% of fans are enjoying this perverse plot and want to see where it leads. You’re particularly interested in finding out what’s driving the duplicitous Nelle. She obviously has a major ax to grind with Carly, or so you think, but you haven’t a clue what it could be. You find it all intriguing and can’t wait to see what happens next. Either, Or The remaining 7% of you realize this is a soap opera, so drama, revenge, and payback are all part of the drill. You’re fine with the story continuing on for a while and hope it has some really good twists and turns. But, if it would all come to a rapid climax and wrap up quickly, you’d be fine with that, too.

“Oh, Robin I See You”–Remembering Stone’s GH Death Two Decades Later

Longtime General Hospital fans will never forget one of the saddest stories in GH history that lead to one of its longest story arcs.

Could Michelle Be Working With Somebody Else in GC?

Since the moment Michelle swept into town on The Young and the Restless, she’s had an agenda. It’s not so easy to believe that she simply stopped by to visit her dear old friend Ashley like she originally claimed. However, it’s possible that Michelle (Kelly Frye) has an ulterior motive too. Soap Shows asked if you think she’s working with someone in GC. Victor Pulls the Strings Over 4,800 of you voted, and 46% of you believe that Victor (Eric Braeden) is behind her arrival (what else is new?). You think he wanted Michelle to come into town and stir up loads of trouble for Travis (Michael Roark). You know that all the world’s a puppet show and Victor plays puppet master. Always.

Dealbreaker: Why Tyler Christopher HAD To Leave General Hospital

Christopher recently opened up about his departure in the December 5 issue of Soaps In Depth, explaining that financial reasons kept him away. “We couldn’t come to an agreement that made sense for me and my family,” the actor said. “As we all know, the economics of daytime have changed. As a result of that, I just couldn’t make this work.” However, he had nothing but good things to say about his two decades on the show, reminiscing about all the people he began working with back in 1996 who grew up along with him. They include Jonathan Jackson (ex-Lucky), Amber Tamblyn (ex-Emily), and Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth). Despite wanting to return to GH, Christopher has kept himself busy with movies–namely films called The New Wife and Pretty Broken. So, it looks like the actor has embarked on a new point in his career, but without Nikolas, something still seems missing from General Hospital. GH airs weekdays on ABC.

Many Fans want Nick to do THIS to Sharon!

It’s been a rocky road on The Young and the Restless when it comes to Nick’s storyline. While Nick’s taken Christian away from Sharon and Dylan, young Faith continues to live with her mother and stepdad. Nick’s faced with the same old dilemma. Should he let Faith continue to live under Sharon’s roof or sue for custody of their little girl? Considering what Sharon’s done – lied to Nick, yet again, and kept Christian away from him for a year – he certainly has just cause. After all, Sharon’s decision affected Faith, who got used to living with her little brother and now desperately misses him. She’s Too Unstable Some 43% of you think it’s time for Nick (Joshua Morrow) to intervene and take Faith away from Sharon. Time and time again, she’s proven how unstable she is, not to mention a horrible role model for her young, impressionable daughter. If Nick wants Faith to value truth and honesty, he’ll get her out from Sharon’s roof — pronto! She’s a Good Mom Despite the fact that Sharon perpetuated an awful lie for a full year, 35% of you still see her as a good mom. In your book, Sharon was totally motivated by love. All she was trying to do was preserve the happy family she’d created with Dylan, Faith, Mariah and young Christian. Watching Her Closer The remaining 23% of you believe that removing Faith from Sharon’s home would be too drastic a move. Instead, you think Nick should just keep a closer eye on the situation. They do all live on the Newman ranch, so they’re within walking distance of each other’s homes, anyway. The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.

Which Man Would You Like to See With Kate on DAYS?

Kate has been alone for a while now, ever since she tried to kill her last lover on Days of Our Lives. Deimos (Vincent Irizarry) is still smarting from being thrown in the river by his almost wife. Kate’s heart quickly recovered from his throwing her over for Nicole (Arianne Zucker), but she hasn’t been as quick to replace him in bed.

The Professional After over 6,000 votes were tallied, 46% of you wanted to see her with Eduardo (A Martinez) the former assassin-turned-family-man. There’s something sexy about a former bad boy looking for redemption, and you think Kate (Lauren Koslow) is just the woman to help heal his emotional wounds. Who knows maybe he is the one to tame this woman in true Kiss-Me-Kate fashion. Of course, here’s hoping the fact she’s slept with his son Rafe (Galen Gering) won’t deter him from romancing her stone-cold heart. You hope she’ll give this rough-around-the-edges guy a real shot.

The Good Guy Meanwhile 21% would like to see Kate revisit a past love in Roman Brady (Josh Taylor). It has been a long time since he’s had a woman to love too, and you liked what these two brought out in each other.

Soap Star Jensen Buchanan Enters Plea on DUI Charge

After being arrested for a DUI last spring, Jensen Buchanan entered a plea of “not guilty” in court last week. The soap vet was arrested after she crashed into another car, sending the driver to the hospital. Buchanan was equipped with an ankle monitor bracelet when she appeared in court. According to the Santa Maria Times, the actress, who last appeared on The Young and the Restless as Judge Moxley this year, was involved in a head-on collision last May with an alleged blood alcohol level of 0.34.

Did One of These People Plant the Bomb That Killed Morgan?!

Port Charles is still reeling after Morgan was killed in a bomb meant for Julian on General Hospital. Needless to say, Julian Jerome (William deVry) has a lot of enemies who want him dead. The question is, which one was mad enough to rig (or have someone else do it) his car to explode? Soap Hub asked who do you think set the bomb for Julian. For the Love of Duke After almost 3,500 votes were tallied, we learned 49% believe Anna (Finola Hughes) might have been the culprit. She did seem awfully upset when she was talking with Griffin (Matt Cohen) at the gym. Could the former spy have been that thirsty for vengeance after the man who ordered the hit on her beloved Duke was set free? It wouldn’t surprise you one bit, because you know how badly her heart was broken when he was ripped away from her. She counted on the courts to serve justice, but she isn’t above delivering it herself if needed. A Woman Scorned It seems that 43% believe that legal eagle Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) could have done the deed. After all, Julian did try to murder her with the same weapon used by Helena to kill her own mother! How low can a husband go?! He betrayed her trust, tried to make her take the fall for his own crimes, and then wanted to murder her. Who could blame Alexis if she got freaked out enough (and she could have done it while drunk and not even remember!) to order the hit on her ex? Ultimate Horror It’s surprising that only 8% believe it was Sonny (Maurice Benard) who set the bomb, considering he obviously thinks he was the one. He did try to call off the hit, but you still believe it was on his order that this all went down. He wanted to protect his family, and instead, he ended up being the one to kill his own son.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Victor Takes on Travis!

Stunning The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal Victor’s on a rampage to take down his enemies, and he’s starting to think Travis is one of them! There’s a Spy at Newman Enterprises! There’s a mole at Newman Enterprises, and Victor’s (Eric Braeden) on high alert. He’s going employee-by-employee to find the leak, and he’s starting with Travis. Is Travis Up to No Good? Being the new kid on the block isn’t easy, and Travis (Michael Roark) is going to find out exactly what being the low man on the totem pole entails. He’s up on the chopping block at Newman Enterprises with Victor breathing down his neck. The Mustache has him under a microscope, and Travis better hope he’s squeaky clean. Natalie Returns to Track Down the Mole! To help with the investigation, Victor is bringing in the big guns. Computer genius Natalie (Mara McCaffray) is back on staff and checking out all the Newman systems. She’s on the case and promises she’ll find proof if there is any and tells Travis it’s better to fess up than get caught. Natalie knows the files in question are only accessible by Victor, the board, and Travis. Since most of the board are Newman relatives, it’s hard to believe they would sell The Mustache down the river. This means there’s only a handful of folks who could be the snake in the grass. Can Travis Clear His Name? While Travis vehemently denies any wrongdoing, Victor still wants Natalie to watch him like a hawk. There’s something up with Victoria’s (Amelia Heinle) new boy, and he wants to know what it is! Y&R airs weekdays on CBS. Share your thoughts, leave a comment in the section below.
