Comings and Goings: Farewell, Sweet Claudia

General Hospital

Maurice Benard, Sarah Brown, "General Hospital" NEW: Sad news indeed, as Sarah Brown will be leaving the role of Claudia Zacchara in November. We can’t imagine Claudia’s end in Port Charles will be pleasant, but the possibilities for how it’ll go down are certainly plentiful. [STORY]

 

NEW: Matt Borienghi (ex-Brian Bodine, AMC) has signed on to play shadowy, Cassadine-adjacent character Valentin, starting October 14th. [STORY]

 

NEW: American Idol finalist Chikezie Eze will appear on the October 9th episode of GH, playing a bartender at Jake's (and a likely karaoke participant). [STORY]

 

Great news! Grandma Crazy and our Deadbeat Dad of the Year are both headed back to Port Charles. Both Constance Towers (Helena) and Anthony Geary (Luke) are both set to return to "GH," starting September 30th. Click the STORY link and see our suggestions for what Luke and Helena have been up to since she abducted him. [STORY]

 

Helena's return coincides with the debut of the mysterious Mischa, played by Amanda Brooks. Feel free to speculate about how this Mischa will play into the Helena/Luke drama.

i, myself, was actually hoping that Claudia told Olivia's secrets and caused her more grief. i actually dont like Olivia. I liked Olivia verses claudia. i think Oliva deserves more grief.

Sarah Brown is an amazing actress. SOOOO talented. I will support anything she does. I feel terrible about Claudia. I hate that she had to die. I fell in love with that character. Sarah kicks butt! she rocks and now she's got a die hard fan in me. I dont watch bold and beautiful, but she's got my support. i'm gonna tune in to see her

I like Sarah Brown in the role of Claudia. She really is a very good actress. I was hoping that she would be put with Nick or Lucky. I even thought the writers would maybe even have her get pregnant by someone else and say it was Sonny's. I hate to see her go she is the one we love to hate. Although I must say it is time for Sonny and Olivia to get caught up in love. I would like to see the character Sonny show a more romantic side as never before. I know Claudia was hoping for an heir, but seems like Sonny already has one. I'm looking forward to Dante and Sonny bonding. I know the character Dante will be mad with Olivia for a little awhile, but I hope it will be short lived.
Johnny and Olivia have been fun, but turn up the heat between Sonny and Olivia.

I am guessing that Patrick is coming. AMC is moving to tape in Cali and since Thorsten and Alisha aren't moving, or so I have read, I think Patrick is what AMC needs! Who's with me on this?

claudia may be a good actress but she is an adult not a kid and her actions are childlike however dont really care if she comes or goes but GH writers dont ever break up jax and carly and robin and patrick they are GHs super couples and they are good at it. now sonny and olivia have real chemistry and writers should put them back together when they are together sonny has such a sweet smile whenever he sees olivia its nice to see the mobster with such a sweet smile

Hello Terryann1944,
Agree with 1-3, Somewhat on 4. Jax is getting to be a little insufferable. (Mr. Perfect?) And he is making the mistake in being obviously vengeful against Sonny.

I have to agree with Lady Z.
I did not like Claudia at first, and certainly hated the fact that she was behind Michael's shooting, but I have come to forgive and (kind of) like her. Especially with Sonny. She understands his business and has a lot of baggage that explains why she is the way she is. Sonny and Claudia can understand each other. I would like to see them get rid of her father once and for all.

Claudia could have been better because SJB is a good actress. They turned her into Vampira. What ever they hoped to achieve was a bust.

You have to love Helena she is evil and makes no bones about it. Luke yeah he's a deadbeat Dad just like Jason Morgan so they can have a competition to see who can pretend they don't have children the best. My vote is for Jason because he went back (shudder) to Sam, didn't she shoot him as well as endanger his only child. I'm looking forward to the new Cassadines and hope for a non-mob real story. If Elizabeth is involved all the better because she will make the whole thing pull together give that woman a real story. Lucky sorry he needs to go his character has just become an annoyance and he won't fit this s/l.
