General Hospital Spoilers Fall Preview: Valentin Returns, Charlotte Too
It looks like father and daughter — Valentin and Charlotte Cassadine — are about to make a comeback!
There’s a lot of drama, violence, manipulation, and backstabbing currently going on in Port Charles and Croatia on General Hospital, where there is a WSB presence as well as Jason Morgan, Britt Westbourne, and a mystery mastermind located who knows where. With Drew shot, Sonny doing damage control, and Sidwell causing chaos from afar, why not bring back a villain with finesse and charm?
Father and Daughter Comebacks
It sounds like it’s a good time for GH’s Valentin Cassadine to return. In addition, his daughter’s name has been mentioned. But it has been months since we’ve actually seen Charlotte. That’s about to change, too.
Valentin
You can’t keep a devious character off the GH canvas for that long. TV Insider reports Valentin Cassadine will have an impact this fall. He’ll have to escape his high-security prison, which the WSB placed him in first. Although Valentin manages to cause chaos from wherever he is. Revenge will be on his mind and, of course, escape. This comes from GH’s co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten.
[Valentin] casts a long shadow, even from his cell in Steinmauer. Revelations this fall will have him striking an unlikely alliance and making a run at freedom — and taking revenge on Jack Brennan.
This means James Patrick Stuart will be back. His character hasn’t been seen since March, when Brennan arranged for Valentin to be escorted to Steinmauer, a particularly nasty WSB prison in Europe. Just what has Valentin been up to since starting his stint behind bars? Besides escape and revenge against Brennan, what else is he involved in? The man’s a mad multitasker, after all.
Charlotte
The EP also previewed the return of Valentin and Lulu’s daughter, Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez). Lately, Charlotte has been around, only off-screen. But she will pop up again soon, and it will apparently be in a pivotal role related to her dad. Valentin and Charlotte have always shared a strong connection.
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 General Hospital’s next generation.
It’s exciting that GH will finally spend quality time on the show’s younger generation. They are all talented actors already doing great work. Hopefully, this means other characters will return to Port Charles soon.

Scheana Shay and Kiki Monique Slam Teddi Mellencamp for “Lies” and Defamation After Being Accused of Involvement in Gretchen Rossi Roofie Rumor
Scheana Shay and Kiki Monique fired back at Teddi Mellencamp after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum claimed on her shared podcast with Tamra Judge that Scheana was the one who told Kiki about the rumor about Gretchen Rossi supposedly being roofied amid the “naked wasted” incident of The Real Housewives of Orange County season four.
After Teddi, 44, told Katie Ginella, 41, who was blamed for passing on the information, that she had heard it was the 40-year-old Vanderpump Rules alum who told Kiki, Scheana and Kiki spoke out on Scheana’s podcast, where they targeted both Teddi and Tamra, 57, suggesting that the latter was equally as responsibile for the defamation since she has control of the editing of her podcast.
“The Jax-Hole, I think we can agree, is the Two Ts in a Pod podcast for the lies that were spread about us this week,” Scheana began on the September 5 episode of Scheananigans, via Bye Wig Hello Drama on Instagram.
According to Scheana, the idea that she was responsible for sharing the rumor, which claimed Gretchen, 46, was roofied and later hospitalized, is “a flat-out lie.”
As for Kiki, nobody had even heard about the allegation until RHOC season 19.
“Nobody in this Bravo universe has heard this. This is the first time it’s ever been put out there, and it’s completely false, and Tamra knows the truth,” she declared. “I spoke with Tamra in New York City at Watch What Happens Live. She knows the whole truth, so she can easily tell Teddi, ‘Don’t even put this out there because I know that this is false.’”
“[And] also, Tamra has editing control over her own podcast,” Scheana agreed. “So she would’ve had to have okayed this podcast to go out in the world, knowing that it’s f*cking false. So why are you trying to defame me and [Kiki]? This isn’t okay.”
“I’m not gonna settle. If you try to take advantage of me and try to lie about me, I am going to fight back,” she added. “I’m not letting people walk all over me anymore, and people need to start getting used to that.”
After noting on Scheananigans that she and Scheana didn’t deserve to be lied about, Kiki took to her Instagram Story, where she shared two additional messages with her followers.
“John Cougar Mellencamp‘s daughter is spreading lies on her podcast about me and Scheana Shay … This is the weirdest f*cking sentence I’ve ever written in my life,” she wrote in the first post.
Then, in a second, she shared a message from The Bravo Investigator.
“I believe Kiki. Here’s why. It would be extremely elaborate for Scheana to have told Kiki the roofie rumor and the plot to blame that on Katie. Those of us who know Kiki know that she’s not out for clout. She explained in the press that the reason she brought this information to a journalist is because she was altered of a crime that allegedly was committed. Drugging someone is a crime. So there’s a difference between trying to do the right thing and trying to get attention,” it read.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
