Spoilers: Dominic Zampragno and Julie Marie Berman discuss the wedding and their couple's future

Dominic: Dante takes her [to NYC] for a night out and it turns into something more. They go to Ground Zero and start talking about the future.

Julie: It brings up a lot of emotions, because Dante's character used to go there as a child and obviously, it rehashes the issue of losing a loved one to their work. It's good for them to have this conversation and it propels this spontaneous wedding. [The wedding is] perfect and sweet. I'm happy for the characters and I think fans will love the ceremony and all the sweet touches that make it personal to the characters.

News: Kimberley McCullough Speaks Out!

Kimberly McCullough doesn’t know how her beloved character will leave Port Charles or even her exact date of departure.

“I’m literally just with the audience playing along,” she said. “The really cool thing is that it’s been difficult for the producers and the writers to come up with a way for Robin to leave, which I think is very flattering to the legacy of the character. Everyone involved really wants her to leave in a heroic way, and, for lack of a better word, kind of classy way.”

Robin has been HIV-positive for many years, and some fans fear that producers will bring the story to a dark conclusion and kill her off.

“My counter answer to that is, ‘How do you do it without being dark?  It’s a soap opera, first of all, not a sitcom. Because of the nature of the relationship between Robin and (her husband) Patrick (Jason Thompson), you literally cannot have a happy breakup. It’s impossible.”

News: Is Anna Devane Coming Home?

According to TV Guide Magazine, Finola Hughes is returning to "General Hospital" as Anna Devane. Devane will begin taping in mid January; with her episodes airing in time for February sweeps. She will reportedly return on a recurring basis, and will be very involved in Robin and Patrick's (Jason Thompson) story.

With Kimberly McCullough exiting GH as Robin next year, one can only assume Anna is returning to be part of her daughter's departure, whatever that may be. With that in mind, how do you think Anna will affect Robin's exit? 

Will she be bringing Tristan Rogers with her? Expect good things to come with Frank and Ron!

Appearence: GH Stars Help Build Habitat For Humanity House

General Hospital cast members came together for Habitat for Humanity’s 3rd Annual “The House That General Hospital Built” on December 10, in Los Angeles. GH fans joined the show’s stars in helping to build a home for a worthy family. More pictures below:

News: Greg Vaughan to Return?

SOW and SID are hinting that Greg Vaughan could be coming back to take over as Lucky. When asked, Vaughan said, he's not heard anything about it. 

I personally would love for Greg to come back. Considering he never got a chance to do anything with his character, other than being Sam's rebound and the drug/Maxie storyline. I would love to see what FV would have planned to do with him.

His fans are all waiting with baited breath to see if he would come back as the offspring of the supernova couple. Keep thinking positive thoughts, it may happen.

As Digest first reported in the 11/29 issue Jackson's decision to leave was, in part, due to the toll of playing constant heavy, emotional storylines since his return in late 2009.

BRADFORD ANDERSON (Spinelli)
What was the highlight of the year for you, storyline wise?

Other than your own, what do you think was your show's best storyline this year?
"Rather than pick one storyline, I just want to say how nice it is to have more  of the veterans around lately. Hooray!"
