‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: New Arrivals In Port Charles Will Rock The Town


General Hospital writers have big plans for the summer in Port Charles. Things have been shaky since the death of Carols Rivera (Jeffrey Vincent Parise) and the presumed death of Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher). These two incidents have changed the course of things for almost every resident in Port Charles, and now, the fallout will be more than some are able to handle.

The arrival of new characters make General Hospital fans nervous. When casting is announced there are always rumors that begin swirling and talk about more useless bodies being in Port Charles. The actors on payroll now are some of the best in the daytime business, and many fans believe they should be used more than they actually are. Despite the General Hospital crew knowing how the fans feel, there are two very important new characters being added into the mix. Valentin Cassadine and Claudette West are on their way to town, and they are both out for complete revenge.

Earlier today, Daytime Confidential reported that General Hospital would be welcoming James Patrick Stuart as Valentin Cassadine. This changes things for the Cassadines and Spencers because he wants revenge on both families. Valentin is reportedly plotting at the mansion in Greece, which is ironically where Nikolas and Ava Jerome (Maura West) are headed. On top of the revenge he wants, there is also some curiosity about whether or not he fathered Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) with Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati). General Hospital may just acquire another father and son battle against good and evil. The addition of another Cassadine is good news, especially because the slew of characters brought on in recent years generally had no actual ties to the original families.

It has been confirmed that Claudette West (Bree Williamson) will be appearing on General Hospital beginning next week. This is going to cause a lot of issues for Nathan and Maxie (Kirsten Storms), especially since she will misrepresent herself in the beginning. Claudette wants revenge, and when she finds out both Nathan and Griffin Munro (Matt Cohen) are in Port Charles, she makes plans to get even. There is speculation that this will be the end of Nathan and Maxie for good, though it is unclear if they will make it down the aisle before Claudette busts into their lives. General Hospital released a promo showing the initial meeting between the formerly married pair, and it looks intense.

A lot will be going on throughout the summer on General Hopsital. Fans have been waiting for the huge crash as Julian Jerome (William deVry) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) fall. This is the major story line happening now, which also ties into the Cassadines as Alexis is one of them. The murder weapon used was what Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) left to Alexis in her will, and now she is going to stand trial for the murder of Carlos Rivera. With all of this happening, plus Claudette and Valentin arriving during the chaos, General Hospital ratings should skyrocket.

The next several weeks on General Hospital will be intense. New character arrivals and the fall of “Julexis” will be the talk of social media. Valentin Cassadine has been a myth in the story tellings for years, even having Helena frightened at the mention of his name. Now that he will be headed to Port Charles, things are going to get interesting. Claudette will be happy to stir the pot, but will she stick around or is she just a temporary character to move the story line along? As next week begins with fireworks, plenty of bombs will also be exploding on General Hospital.
