I think if the rumor is true, it's Edward, not Tracy.

I hope you are right, Ms.Q. At any rate, I hope GW is going to make Tracy shrewd in this.

Remos, I am glad you enjoy Ethina. I personally just can't like Kristina, because I find no positive traits in her, at all. The actress does not have the depth(yet) to give Kristina the layers and nuances she needs when her actions are so ridiculously awful. And, if I can't like Kristina, no way can I get into a couple with her in it.

I don't know if Ethan telling her she's a spoiled brat is them "beginning", though. And.....there's always GW's take on it. He may go an entirely different direction with them, with Lacy, with everyone.

I'm all for that. I'd be more afraid things WON'T change. We will see.

Edward being sick won't generate story - it's been done before.

Alan was only seen by Tracy and Luke wouldn't return for any other Q but Tracy, nor would the rumoured Dillon.

Re Edward: it might if it were his "dying" story. I can't see Tracy being sick generating anything either, TBH. It didn't the last time, although we got good TraLu bonding out of it-but no story.

I'd rather see her healthy and mixing it up. Luke coming back because she's ill is kind of pathetic. I'd rather he come back because Lulu is hurt or missing-which will be the story, I think-than him only coming back because Tracy is ill.

I'd rather Tracy be healthy and give it to him with both barrels. That's far more interesting to me.

As far as Alan coming back, I thought I heard/read he would be appearing to someone in a dream. Since Monica is coming back, that someone could be anyone. Monica, Edward, or Michael, just as much as Tracy. He isn't necessarily going to be Ghost Alan, so it doesn't matter. Even if it is Ghost Alan, no reason he can't appear to someone else. He appeared to Monica once as well as Tracy.

Skye returns!

Ugh, no Skye. Send her to Pine Valley or Lanview before Port Charles.

Unless she comes to collect Jax, that is.

skye returns? is that true? if so it shows GW is really invested in the Qs, even with skye not a real Q. i'm so looking forward to GH right now. for the first time in years i have hope!

Yes, Skye is officially returning!

mama, how can you not like Skye?! I understand not liking Skye/Luke, but how can you not love drunken, blackmailing Skye? so much fun!

Skye coming back is more of an indication that someone in the Q's might be ill, but she wouldn't come back for Tracy.

If they do make one of them ill, and it's Edward, it would be beyond stupid not to kill him off.

I guess RC will be recurring, but get ready for the Lacy haters to go on and on about how smokin hot Luke and Skye are.

They are nothing if not predictable.

I don't want Skye/Luke. I want Skye scheming and bitching it up.

I wouldn't be too opposed to Skye ushering in a not-so-dead AJ.

Skye has been in Tracy's face for too long and my like for her is long gone. Now, if they have her with Jax and Alexis and Edward - but no Lunacy Interuptus - I will be fine. Tracy looses too much power and self-esteem when Skye is around.

That's what I love about Skye. She is the only one who can get under Tracy's skin. I love their arguments.

If they allowed Tracy to win some then I might be more amused.

It is confirmed that Alan is returning?

So far we have Monica and Skye...

I like the idea of the Quartermaines existing in PC again.

skye returns first week in august, but I have a feeling it is more of a way to either bring back alcazar on to the canvas which has been rumored or to facilitate a wrap up of jax's story. I know that nobody coming on will be more than recurring and arcs are supposed to be much quicker with a beginning middle and end in shorter cycles.

There was a SOW article on mabby/elq asher stuff with andrea bogart saying there are some run ins with tracy and some degradation which makes for good drama (ie tracy will be calling her stripper trash I'm sure). I think Asher is an AZ plant actually.

Ms. Q SID I think said Alan is back but ABC hasn't sent out release yet. Robin is taping this week coming up and that is why they announced it I guess.

BTW--This is an interesting sign...read this article on helena returning. CT says she will for sure be mixing it up with lucky/siobhan/liz and aiden, but most definitly with Luke, Tracy and Edward. Maybe CT was hinting when she said she would love helena to marry edward!! That would be awesome her living in the Q mansion and being tracy's MIL and Luke's step mom in law! LOL

Viewers were treated to the return of the incomparable and villainous Helena Cassadine at the end of June on General Hospital, which airs at 2pm PST on Riverside's KABC channel 7. She has only been seen twice, but when the actress sat down with me on Thursday to talk about her return, she assured me that we are far from seeing the last of Helena in Port Charles.

We caught our first glimpse of the Cassadine vixen, skulking at the airport, just in time to watch grandson Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) boarding a plane to leave town with his son. She appeared again just an episode later at Elizabeth's (Rebecca Herbst) home, where Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) had just discovered he is the father of Elizabeth's son, Aiden, not Nikolas as they had all been led to believe by paternity tests falsified by Helena. Even with new DNA results, Helena went to great lengths to plant the seed of doubt in Lucky as to just what is the truth and what is fiction when it comes to Aiden.

And so begins the whirlwind of danger and conniving that no one does better than the character of Helena Cassadine, and fans couldn't be more thrilled.

No more thrilled than the gorgeous and talented Constance Towers, who said of her return to GH, "It is always like coming home for Thanksgiving. Everyone you love is there. The material to play is a delicious banquet, and there is just a happy, good feeling in every way."

I asked Constance what it's like to portray such an incredible character, the likes of which is really unsurpassed on General Hospital. "Helena is such a fun character to play. She's powerful, glamorous, rich, smart, funny, a little silly when it comes to young men, and totally capable of anything. As an actor it is a dream role."

While she couldn't give away any major plot points, Constance shared a bit about who she'll be interacting with while she's in town. "Helena will definitely be interfacing with Lucky, Shioban, Elizabeth, Aiden, and most certainly Luke, Tracy and Edward," said the actress. "Who knows, maybe a surprise of some kind from Nikolas will occur."

With new head writer Garin Wolf now in place for the story lines Helena will be involved in, Constance expressed excitement over the quality of material she's been receiving. "Our new head writer is brilliant and has written some of the most enjoyable, really good Helena material in some time. He always appeals to the more human, sympathetic side of Helena which helps the audience love as well as fear her," said Constance. "I'm thrilled Garin Wolf is now creating his own story lines. If anyone can revitalize the Cassadines, he can!"

As to whether Helena will be the only Cassadine on the canvas, the actress says, "there are still some fascinating Cassadine characters out there and certainly some powerful stories to tell."

Even though we haven't seen her in a few weeks, fans, never fear. The actress has shot several episodes already and will be back on the set again in July for what is reported to be some shocking and surprising episodes to come.

There are still Robert Guza episodes left to air, but it won't be long before Garin Wolf's material hits the screen. Between the return of Helena, Monica Quartermaine and now the news of the return of Skye Alcazar, along with Garin Wolf spearheading it all, General Hospital fans who have drifted away should definitely consider giving it a second look. Incredible stories are on the horizon.

Did you guys all see the news about OLTL and AMc?

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/canceled-soaps-get-new-life-online-2309770.html

Exciting news! I just got back into AMC about a year ago and was really sorry to see it going. Glad to hear it and OLTL will live on online. Seems like I do more Netflix watching these days through my Wii, so I'm all about online viewing. There's nothing besides the soaps and Castle that have me even turning my TV on to ABC.
