In a stunning move, Drake Hogestyn (ex-John Black, DOOL) will be checking into GENERAL HOSPITAL. Actually, it's not all that shocking. Even before the ultrapopular DAYS hero bit the dust in Salem, rumors abounded over where Hogestyn would wind up next, with the top rumors placing him back in Salem as a new character (tentatively titled Russell McAllister) or on GH reprising the role of Dr. Jeff Webber, made famous by future MACGYVER Richard Dean Anderson. Well, now, the verdict is in: Hogestyn is making his way to GH's Port Charles come February, barring interference from the ongoing writer's strike, insiders say, but he won't be playing Liz's father. Instead, Hogestyn is filling the shoes of another Port Charles resident. He assumes the part of Connor Olivera, played in 1991-1992 by Michael Lynch. Connor was a singer at Mac Scorpio's club, the Outback, who was ultimately revealed to be the son of ex-spy Sean Donely. Connor flirted with many ladies in Port Charles, including Shell Danielson's Dominique, before vanishing, never to be seen or heard from again ... until now. Insiders whisper Connor's return is part of GH's plan to revive the characters of Sean and his wife, Tiffany, with their rapidly aged, never before seen daughter, Annie, close behind. John Reilly (Alistair, PASSIONS) and Sharon Wyatt (ex-Rachel Crane, PASSIONS) are said to be in negotiations to return. Brandi Burkhardt (ex-Siren, PASSIONS) may end up in the role of Annie. Whatever happens, Connor, as played by Hogestyn, is expected to make much more of a splash in PC this go-round. Rumor has it he was a victim of Sam's marital fraud, and is out for revenge. "We haven't had such an exciting change in character since Jerry Jacks," GH Head Writer Bob Guza gushed from the picket lines. "I can't wait to let Drake settle in Port Charles in the form of one of our most famous legacy characters http://generalhospital.forumotion.com/gh-n...-to-gh-t438.htm I tought he was a :sleep: fest on days and most of the time I woujld :puke: at the site of him. But hey best of luck over at GH. |

What's their source for this? Frankly, I kind of hope it IS true so that DAYS can't fuck this up. Oh, and PLEASE, GH, take John Reilly off our hands so hopefully we can be rid of Alistair. |

I'm with Mason. Having John alive would be horrible for the show. The last thing it needs is another fake death. The storyline with Marlena has been awesome and would just go down the drain if John's alive. |

I saw this posted elsewhere with a link to soapzone, but that thread was promptly taken down so I assumed someone there just made it up. |

Hi PRgirl, made your way over here :) As said on dh.com and on SC, this rumor is 99.99% likely not true. CeasarFaison is not known for being a reliable source. |

CeaserFaison loves to make up shit like this. He was the one who made up the Gennie Francis rumor about her going to Y&R that wasn't true but showed up in SID. :lol: Plus, Drake is too old to play Connor. Connor was like in his early to mid twenties when he was on. He would be in his thirties right now. Drake would be too old to play him. |

I was getting ready to post the same thing abotu Faison. I did not know that he was the one who did the Genie Francis rumors. He also did one for Genie going to B&B which was picked up by many boards and publications. He has one out now about Sarah Brown's new role on GH. |
