General Hospital Watching General Hospital

so it's not a Jake recast. Too bad, because he's needed.

Is he, though? I don't miss Liz's kids. Likely because she's such a supporting character these days.
Jason isn't exactly good father material to Danny. And since Jake's mom is alive, Jake most certainly doesn't need Jason.

Maybe if GH will focus on a summer story involving most teens (Danny, Charlotte, Rocco, Scout, Jake...).

However, I think GH should focus more on the 20-something group with Joss, Trina, Gio, Emma & Kai. Joss could certainly use something new to do.

I keep reading that Frank Valentini wants to beef up the WSB-related stories to supplant the "Sonny's Mob Friends" stories. He's obviously trying to move Sonny into a less prominent role. They claim that Jason will return and join the WSB somehow, allowing him to continue his AARP Action Hero role on the show without having to be Sonny's lapdog. It's said that this was the plotline offered to Steve Burton to lure him back but the show changed it at the last minute; maybe they're offering it to him now because he threatened to make his "vacation" permanent.

I had earlier assumed that once her time in the WSB was over that Josslyn would become a PCPD officer, but now I think they plan to keep her in the WSB. They're positioning Jack Brennan to be Nina's new love interest, and they're probably moving heaven and Earth behind the scenes to get James Patrick Stuart (Valentin) to stick around for a full-blown Val/Carly/Anna story. If she resumes her job as Police Commissioner, Dante will have more time to spend with Liz.

Valentin is off to see "Z", the actual head of WSB. First we were told Jack was secretly the head of WSB. Cullum is the head of "the European division", and came to Port Charles because part of Faison's project happened in Europe.

So is "Z" new to the position since Jack can't work now, or is there a "super-head" of the WSB? A boss over all bosses?

I am thinking one of the new cast members is this "Z". Not Scout of course. But Serena, Tristan or Hudson. Of those, the name Serena sounds most like a Z.

With several new actors coming, and Jason and Anna returning, GH must be getting rid of some characters. Who?

Kristina is already gone. And it seems like Sidwell and Cullum can't possibly survive much longer. If Sidwell goes, I am 100% sure that Turner goes too. I also have a feeling that Cassius is on his way out. However, I think GH will keep him alive if they want him to return one day.

Ezra, will he be needed? And what about Brennan if a new boss of WSB is introduced?

My bet:
GH will kill off Cullum, Sidwell, Turner and Ezra. Cassius will leave town. Brennan feels 50/50.
