General Hospital spoilers say the gossip mill is churning with rumors that we’re losing GH alums because we’re gaining them. Say what?

Word on the street is the reason so many characters we love are being let go from the hit longtime sudser is because they’re bringing back some of our favorite blasts from the past.

If GH can’t afford to keep the current staff on while bringing back some of the people we love and miss, could the soap be in trouble?

Is this the year that the ratings really matter? Say it ain’t so! So we want to have our cake and eat it too. Since when in GH’s 60 years has that been a crime?

General Hospital Spoilers — Laura Collins’s Family Has Taken a Hit

Mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis) isn’t sure how much more she can take — and neither are the fans! Maybe losing Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) wasn’t a huge assault to her heart, but him taking Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) with him certainly was.

On the heels of having lost Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), Martin ‘Marty’ Grey (Michael E. Knight), and Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss), will gaining Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) and Lulu Falconeri (Emme Rylan) help us lick our wounds? Some fans are speculating that those two are the reason we’ve lost so many others. Are they?

GH Spoilers – Claim Finn  Finnegan And Gregory Chase Are Long Gone

Losing Gregory Chase (Gregory Harrison) was more sudden than we expected. Cue the tears. He was gone too soon, even for someone who we knew was going, right? But losing Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) right after made for a serious one-two punch.

Was Easton ousted to make room for bringing in old blood like FBI Agent John ‘Jagger’ Cates (Adam Harrington) — who wasn’t even the original portrayer for the role? Are we being forced to make concessions to keep beloved people like Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) around?

General Hospital Spoilers — Sam McCall Is On Her Way Out

The latest move to throttle us is learning that Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) is going to be killed off the show this fall. How could they, right? Some fans think Jonathan Jackson might be her replacement in the budget.

Others are wondering if we might regain Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) or Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) to soften the blow. What are your thoughts? Are these committed actors being let go as part of a recycling program at GH?
