Now that Scott Clifton has been released from his One Life to Live contract, the obvious question is: With the expansion of the Quartermaine family that's in process, will the actor return as Tracy's son, Dillon?
Movie-lover, fledgling filmmaker Dillon was a large part of General Hospital from 2003-2007, involved at various times with both Georgie and Lulu, running errands for Alcazar, and helping to prove that Laura didn't kill her stepfather. He left town to follow his dreams.
It would be great if those dreams led him somehow back to Port Charles.

The program has been solidified for the March 21st ABC and SOAPnet Salutes Broadway Cares concert at Town Hall in New York City on March 21, 2010. Cameron Mathison will again host stars from One Life to Live, All My Children, and General Hospital as they sing numbers from Broadway shows such as Rent, The Wild Party, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Violet, Young Frankenstein, Spring Awakening, Rock of Ages, Kiss Me Kate, Wicked, and others.
General Hospital will be well represented by the presence of Tony Geary, Brandon Barash, Nathan Parsons, and Jonathan Jackson. Geary, Barash, and Parsons will sing "Dirty Rotten" from the hit show Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which ought to be fun. Geary also performs the huge production number from Miss Saigon, "An American Dream." Jonathan Jackson is doing the powerful "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera, while Brandon Barash sings "What Am I Doing" from Closer Than Ever. Bradford Anderson will perform "That's All," which should show off his smooth voice. Let's hope his Achilles tendon injury is better. And newcomer Nathan Parsons sings "Your Eyes" from Rent.
The roster of talent also includes: Kirsten Alderson, Scott Evans, Jason Tam, Brittany Underwood, Mark Lawson, Natalie Hall, Bree Williamson, and Kassie DePaiva from One Life to Live; Cornelius Smith, Jr., Brittany Allen, Bobbie Eakes, Walt Willey, and Adam Mayfield from All My Children; and Sherri Shepherd from The View.
It's not too late to get tickets. It's going to be a great evening for a great cause. Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS is the nation's leading industry based HIV/AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization. They fund the social service work of The Actors Fund and award grants twice a year to AIDS service organizations nationwide.
...where the writers are the kangaroos.
The latest rumors are that jurors for Sonny's trial include Big Alice, Lisa Niles, and Coleman.
If any of you recall my diabtribe on the last trial, get ready for another one.
People are used to what real court proceedings are like today, thanks to Court TV (now called Tru TV), particularly the O.J. case. It doesn't make sense to put General Hospital trials into the realm of fantasy. A little bit of reality would make it more believable, and less distracting from the actual story.
If GH uses medical consultants for their scripts, why not legal consultants as well?
Bradford Anderson's Achilles tendon injury will be incorporated into General Hospital. Basically, the writers had no choice. As Anderson himself tweeted: Fully ruptured. Not partially. Surgery. Boy oh boy. Ouch!
On an episode airing next week, Spinelli and Maxie are stuck in a storm drain, during which time, Spinelli injures his Achilles tendon.
As previously reported, the actor was playing basketball during a Soap Cruise in late January-early February and was hurt then.
Anderson's wedding to fiance Keira O'Neil is set for April 10, and he assures fans that he plans to walk the new Mrs. Anderson up the aisle on that date.
