Night Shift
We can’t deny Season Two of Night Shift has been a success, thanks to head writer Sri Rao. The final three episodes begin tomorrow night and will feature many veteran actors from GH’s past and present. Here’s a description of the final episodes.

Here’s what Nelson Branco of The Suds Report (TV Guide) had to say this past weekend about Night Shift:

General Hospital: Night Shift, SOAPnet General Hospital: Night Shift, SOAPnet/DirecTV — Will Robert die?

The big question on ABC’s best soap, Night Shift is: Will Robert Scorpio die on GH’s SOAPnet spinoff? This past summer, Tristan Rogers has been nothing short of an acting revelation as Robert battles colon cancer, so I would hate it if the powers-that-be killed off this legacy character just as I’m finally beginning to fall in love with the him. Regardless of Robert’s fate, Rogers tells this week’s Soaps In Depth, “It’s going to rivet a lot of people.” Of course, it will — a real head writer is penning your soap, Tristan!

On with more RUMORS and SPOILERS for General Hospital
The Sting

Are you worried about Jason and Sonny? Is their friendship over? How many of you have heard this RUMOR: a Sting is coming to Port Charles?

Here’s what I’ve put together for now, with the help of Wubs.net. This RUMOR has been floating around for a long time, and it is finally coming together. Let’s hope it’s time for this RUMOR to come home to roost!

Anthony underestimates both Sonny and Jason. He thinks everything is going his way and you might think so too. But everything may not be as it seems, Sonny comes through for Jason in a very pivotal moment.

Claudia has figured out her father shot Kate.
Johnny has figured out his father shot Kate.
Claudia goes to Sonny.
Johnny goes to Jason.
Sonny and Jason set up the "Sting".
Dante comes to town just in time to see his father "die" and just like the older Corinthos, he wants revenge.
Sonny’s funeral takes place in November during “Sweeps”.
Sonny’s Son Dante tells the story of how it happened, but it’s really a sting with people thinking Sonny is dead, Sonny and Jason set it up. (Another RUMOR says a grown up Scorpio daughter tells everything in flashbacks)
RUMOR: Depending on whether MB re-signs his contract will depend on who knew about it, especially Kate and Elizabeth.

Salt Shakers, everyone…just in case!
The Spencers
I’m hearing RUMORS that Nikolas is furious upon learning that Lulu was sent to isolation without his knowledge. He proceeds to have words with Lainey. We may also see Nikolas ticked off at Tracy when he finds out Johnny was “introduced” to Laura. According to RUMORS, Nik says Laura is not a freak show that can be used for Tracy’s own agenda. We may see Nikolas having a difficult time with Lulu’s situation. Luckily, Luke will arrive just in time to help Lulu. Upon Luke’s return, we learn Lulu isn’t as crazy as she thinks.

What could be so difficult between Luke and Tracy? We will soon find out Tracy is harboring a secret. We aren’t sure yet what it is, but we can speculate it could have something to do with Laura. We could see Luke put to the test when he realizes what Tracy’s secret is and what really happened to Ric Webber.

I’m seeing RUMORS that Maxie and Spinelli plot to free Lulu from Shadybrook. I’m also hearing RUMORS that Lulu will be released from Shadybrook soon after Luke’s return. Will she chase after Johnny after he breaks up with her (for her own good)? RUMORS say no, she will want nothing to do with him. She is not pleased with how quickly he walked away from her, for her own good or not.

Note: RUMORS say there are tentative talks that Dante may fall into the Jolu mix. Remember to take that with a grain of salt.

Kate, Sonny
Some think Sonny and Kate are over. Nah…I’m hearing they are nowhere NEAR over. They should have some bumpy roads ahead of them, and RUMORS say we may see a different side of Kate’s personality. Sonny is certainly going to show his ticked off side when he finds out about Dante, so it will not be easy. But, don’t look for these two to be over.

What else? Kate will want Patrick to spill her secret, will he do it? Olivia challenges Sonny to walk away from Kate, will he do it? Kate finds out by Olivia that she told Patrick about Dante. Sonny overhears Olivia talking to Dante on the phone, but is unaware who she is talking to. Olivia remains frantic Dante will show up in PC.

Why is Kate hiding Sonny’s son from him? RUMORS say it will soon be justified on screen by Kate’s point of view.

Has Dante been cast yet? RUMORS are flying all over the place, and I mean ALL over the place. I’m hearing that Dante appears in the script the week of Oct. 13, and that TPTB have been wooing a couple of big soap names. I have ALSO continued to hear RUMORS that Bradford Anderson could be cast in the role of Dante, tackling duel roles. There are more RUMORS saying TPTB are taking their time looking for just the right person. The cast may continue to talk about Dante on the phone with the character not showing up in PC until after sweeps. What’s true? I can’t say…But another RUMOR says the reason Rick Hearst was offered a multi year contract, and Sonny is getting an older son (what about SORASing Michael?) was to fill the storyline void of Jason’s departure. Is this what’s going on? Is this also why Nikolas is being more mainstreamed? Hmmm…

Jason and Liz
Will Jason and Elizabeth get another shot at love? I’m hearing RUMORS that we could see these two in another steamy love scene that gets interrupted, AGAIN. This time it’s Spinelli. If I find out more, I’ll let you know.

What I do know is we can certainly expect more angst with these two.

RUMORS have been floating around about Jason and Sam. I’ll put those to rest right now. We might see these two in scenes together coming up, but do NOT expect any sort of love interest going on between them in the near future, far future, or any future whatsoever. Anything you hear is just plain ole’ FanFic. FAKE FanFic

Carly, Jax, Nikolas
When Carly sells her shares of the Metro Court to Nikolas, it surprises Jax that she is giving up so easily. She is living at the Metro Court, so she will still be around to see Jax. As Jax begins to get on with his life, Carly begins to self destruct. Carly creates tension between Jax and Nikolas.
RUMORS say Jax considers selling his shares of the Metro Court to Jerry. What will this do for Nikolas? Oh, boy.

Claudia, Ric
If you have been keeping up with the daily SPOILERS, you know Ric and Claudia sleep together coming up this week. We should see some hot, steamy scenes with some montage TV scenes. Have these two been together enough for montage TV? Then, Johnny catches them together, etc. Don’t look for these two to last long however. Claudia discovers Ric was in on keeping Anthony’s involvement in Kate’s shooting under wraps. Now she’s not Kate’s best friend. Actually she could care less about Kate. But she is NOT happy with Ric’s loyalty to her crazy father.
