General Hospital Casting Shocker: Scarlett Fernandez Out, Bluesy Burke In As Charlotte
Burke makes her daytime debut.
General Hospital teased several characters returning this fall, including Nathan, Valentin, and Charlotte. But the young Cassadine is about to look a little different when Bluesy Burke steps into the role.
Scarlett Fernandez Ends Her Run
After playing Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) daughter Charlotte off and on since 2014, Scarlett Fernandez has said goodbye to Port Charles. Fernandez’s Charlotte was last seen on GH earlier this year when she and her dad went on the run.
The actress has recently shared her love of volleyball on social media, and even created an entirely separate Instagram account dedicated to her volleyball career.
Meet Bluesy Burke
If Burke looks familiar, it may be because of her famous dad. The 17-year-old actress is the daughter of a Billy Burke, best known for his role as Bella’s father Charlie in the Twilight film franchise.
Bluesy Burke is also known for her roles in the films Booksmart and Luster.
As teased in the GH Fall Preview, Burke’s Charlotte “returns to the canvas and assumes a pivotal role. She’s very useful to anyone who wants something from Valentin — and she knows it. She isn’t afraid to exploit her relationship with her father to get what she wants. She’ll draw closer to Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr) as we develop GH’s next generation.”
Austen Kroll SLAMS Leva Bonaparte for Calling Him ‘Most Complained About,’ Accuses Her of Staging Drama to Save Her Reputation, Claims She Booted Him From Her Restaurant, All While the Scandal Accidentally Catapults Her Business
Austen Kroll isn’t holding back anymore. After weeks of whispers, Instagram subtweets, and rumors circulating the Hamptons, Austen has gone public with his fury over Leva Bonaparte, accusing her of turning a personal feud into full-blown drama — all while ironically boosting her restaurant’s fame.
“She called me the ‘most complained about’ person?” Austen exclaimed, disbelief and anger thick in his voice. “That’s not just unfair — it’s a complete manipulation. She’s staging drama to save her own reputation, and I’m caught in the middle.”
The Restaurant Fallout
Austen claims that the feud didn’t stay in words. According to him, Leva went so far as to boot him from her own restaurant after a minor disagreement, leaving him shocked and publicly humiliated. “I can’t believe she would do that over something so small,” Austen said. “It wasn’t just personal, it was professional too. And yet somehow, it spun in her favor.”
Insiders reveal the irony isn’t lost on anyone. “Leva’s restaurant has never had more attention,” one source explained. “Every fight, every comment, every post about Austen being ‘complained about’ is driving traffic through the roof. People are curious, people are talking — it’s the ultimate reality TV paradox.”
Accusations of Staged Drama
Austen is adamant that the drama is orchestrated. “I’m not just another storyline for her to fix her image,” he said firmly. “She knows how to make herself the victim, the heroine, and somehow it turns everything in her favor. I’m done being part of her play.”
The Hamptons React
Friends and castmates report that the tension has divided the house. Some sympathize with Austen, frustrated by Leva’s tactics, while others are caught up in the spectacle, unsure what’s real and what’s manufactured. “It’s like walking through a minefield,” one insider admitted. “One comment, one move, and another firestorm ignites. The house is buzzing.”
A Love-Hate Spotlight
Despite the chaos, Austen isn’t retreating. “I’m not backing down,” he declared. “I’m tired of being misrepresented. And if this ends up shining a light on how much manipulation goes on behind the scenes, then fine. But I won’t let this fake drama define me or my name.”
In the Hamptons, where every slight becomes a headline and every feud fuels curiosity, Austen and Leva’s explosive clash may be the most talked-about storyline yet — proving once again that in reality TV, sometimes the drama is the star of the show.
