THE SCOOP

With several fan favorites taking part in a mysterious storyline that kick starts later this month on “General Hospital,” it is no surprise that the show would need the influence of Helena Cassadine to amplify the threat.

A recent post on her official Facebook page revealed that Constance Towers had taped scenes initially set to air on Friday, May 5 and Monday, May 8. However, with this Tuesday’s preemption, episodes have been pushed forward by one day. Therefore, pending no further interruptions, Towers’ episodes are now expected to air on Monday, May 8 and Tuesday, May 9.

Towers last appeared on the daytime drama series in January 2022 when news spread that Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) had perished. Helena appeared via video message with guests speculating that she had something to do with Luke’s death.

In the build-up to the show’s 60th anniversary celebration, it was announced that the icons of Port Charles would unite to stop a legendary threat from the past, which likely explains Helena’s upcoming return. Also returning is Jane Elliot as Tracy Quartermaine.
