GH Spoilers: Emme Rylan & Kelly Thiebaud return, 2 brand new characters of GH appear
General Hospital spoilers tease that the soap opera title Monteceto is scheduled for release.
An eagerly anticipated event that marks the return of classic radio-style soap operas in a modern form.
Set to premiere on April 22nd, 2025, with new episodes released every Tuesday through mid-June, Monteceto promises to bring a fresh wind to the soap opera genre by combining traditional elements of serialized dramas with modern technology in the form of podcasts and YouTube.
The new story, which includes some of General Hospital‘s iconic legends, is creating waves of excitement among soap opera fans as it begins to take shape.
Rick Hurst, who continues to play Rick Lancing on General Hospital, has been confirmed as the narrator for this new series and will also appear as an actor.
His transition between the two projects marks a new trend of soap opera actors expanding their careers across various platforms.
Rick Hurst’s dual involvement in both General Hospital and Monteceto shows how actors are navigating their careers in the digital age.
No longer confined to a single show or network, actors now have the opportunity to participate in multiple projects simultaneously, expanding their reach and opportunities.
This could signal a shift in the television industry where the boundaries between platforms and formats are becoming increasingly blurred.
Emmy Ryland and Kelly Thibo have also confirmed their participation in Monteceto, further raising anticipation among General Hospital fans.
Emmy Ryland, known for her role as Lulu Spencer, left GH in 2020 under controversial circumstances, leaving many fans feeling that her character’s story had not been fully resolved.
Kelly Thibo, who portrayed Britt West, also exited the show after her character met a tragic end.
Their return in Monteceto offers fans a chance to enjoy the talents of these beloved actors once more, albeit in completely new roles and settings.
The pressure is mounting on General Hospital producers as they witness several big-name stars leaving the show to join projects like Monteceto.
In recent years, GH has faced the departure of many prominent actors, partly due to budget cuts and changes in production strategy.
The quick transition of GH alumni into projects like Monteceto raises questions about the long-term strategy of the show in retaining talent and maintaining its audience appeal.
The involvement of actors from other soap operas such as Days of Our Lives and All My Children is also creating a new community of soap opera fans that transcends the boundaries between shows.
Vincentari, who played David Hayward on All My Children and Daimos Kuryakis on Days of Our Lives, brings a strong presence and extensive experience to the project.
Mike Manning, Charlie Dale, Peter Port, Dmitri von Lusner, and Crystal Chappelle, Carly Manning from Days of Our Lives, are also contributing to a diverse and experienced cast.
The gathering of actors from various shows not only broadens the potential fan base but also creates opportunities for new interactions and dynamics between actors familiar with the soap opera genre but who have never worked together before.
This could infuse Monteceto with fresh and exciting energy, setting it apart from existing serialized dramas.
