‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers tease that the show appears to be poised for another soapy triangle with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), and Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson).

‘General Hospital’: First Love Between Lucky And Liz

Lucky and Liz were each other’s first loves, and you never forget your first love. Liz and Lucky were teenagers when they met. In 1998, on the night of her school’s Valentine’s Day dance, Liz was raped.

Lucky helped her through her pain and Ptsd, as he was the only man in her life she trusted. The two teenagers have a slow-burn romance, and they fall in love.

The couple declared their devotion to each other in a church in 1999, but Lucky was presumed dead after a fire at Jason’s bike shop where he worked and lived in an apartment above. Liz, who had met Jason through Lucky,...

When it comes to Best Supporting Actor at the Daytime Emmys, it usually pays to bet on “General Hospital.” The ABC soap opera has won the category 11 times, far more than any other series, and this year “Gh” could have an overwhelming impact on the category as it accounts for 5 of the 10 pre-nominees in the race. The favorite to win with 12/5 odds is one of “Gh’s” past winners, Chad Duell. Do you agree with our predictions that he’s the front-runner?

Duell has played mob scion Michael Corinthos for eight years, since he assumed the role in 2010. Before him the role had been played by child actor Dylan Cash (2002-2008) and then as a young adult by Drew Garrett (2009-2010). Duell was also fairly young when he stepped into the role, so he earned three Daytime Emmy nominations for Best Younger Actor (2011-2012, 2014) before aging out of that category.

'General Hospital' - Sonny's sons Michael and Morgan - that could not have been more bungled. It isn't that the new actors aren't good in the roles.

No, it's that the show chose to make the switches at the height of a major storyline involving Sonny being on trial and his children playing a major role in the trial.

Specifically, it was understandable why 'Gh' recast the original Michael, Dylan Cash, when the character sent into a year-long coma and had to be aged. Actor Drew Garrett not only succeeded making Michael his own creation, he was nominated for a Daytime Emmy.

Less than a year ago, 'General Hospital' made a big move by aging the character of Michael Corinthos, III. Young Dylan Cash, who had played the role for six years, literally growing up before our eyes, was deemed too young for the mature story the writers had in mind for Sonny's son. It was a rough transition for fans, but since Michael was in a vegetative state and bed-ridden for months and months, when he finally awoke and the actor playing Michael was Drew Garrett, we accepted him.

However, in a surprisingly move, 'General Hospital' has replaced Drew Garrett with Chad Duell. No reason given, just a general statement wishing Garrett well in his future endeavors. The pink slip came as a shock to Garrett who claims he was blindsided by the dismissal. And just a month ago he was on the pre-Emmy nomination list for award consideration.
