General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal there are some fans who think Rebecca Herbst is leaving the show and her long term role as Elizabeth Baldwin. She came on in 1997 as a rebellious teenager, and she’s still on the show nearly 30 years later-but a recent shocking storyline twist has fans worried!

Elizabeth And Lucky Spencer Have Finally Reconnected

Upon her arrival in Port Charles many years ago, Elizabeth quickly formed a close friendship with Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson).

He supported her during her recovery from a traumatic experience; over time, their bond deepened into something more than friendship.

However, being a soap opera, drama inevitably intervened to create obstacles for the couple; in 2024, Jonathan Jackson made his return to General Hospital after nearly ten years away.

It took some time for Lucky to navigate his way back to Port Charles and regain Elizabeth’s trust, as well as that of their children.

Recently, Elizabeth and Lucky have reignited their romance, but there are rumors about Rebecca Herbst’s departure from the show.

Fans Have Seen Too Many Popular Actors Fired Or Recast

Fans of GH are growing increasingly frustrated with the show’s trend of letting go of beloved actors or recasting roles.

Many viewers are still reeling from the departure of Kelly Monaco last year, after her two-decade tenure on the series.

There were concerns that Rebecca Herbst might be next on the chopping block, but that didn’t materialize at the time. However, a recent plot twist has reignited worries about Herbst’s future on the show.

Last week, viewers witnessed Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) sabotage Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) car but it was Elizabeth and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) who ended up in the vehicle.

Fans Worried Elizabeth Would Be Killed In The Wreck, But They’re Worried About Ric Too

Fans were worried that the show might kill off Elizabeth; Lucky was the first to arrive after the crash and Kristina admitted that she tampered with the car, aiming for Ava.

Upon learning that Elizabeth was in the vehicle, Lucky rushed to her side and pleaded for her to pull through.

As reported by several sources, Elizabeth began to regain consciousness thanks to Lucky’s encouragement and appeared to be stable-however, concerns arose about her ex-husband, Ric.

Rick Hearst made his return to the ABC soap last summer, but some fans are questioning if his time on the show is already over following the crash. Viewers took to social media to urge the show not to eliminate Ric.

Fans’ Comments And Theories

“Please don’t let Ric die, please don’t let Ric die, #GH #GeneralHospital;” one popular theory suggests that Ric might die and donate his heart to his half-brother Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

Last week, Sonny faced a medical crisis, and Ava was hesitant to provide him with the necessary medication; fans have been speculating that Maurice Benard might be considering retirement.

However, it seems likely that the show could choose to sacrifice Ric to save Sonny; “Please don’t let Ric die just to give Sonny his heart! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!”  “We just got him back-yes, let’s hope Ric survives without any brain damage. I keep reading about Ric’s heart being given to Sonny—please, let’s say NO to this!” “DO NOT! This would ruin GH., don’t let #Ric die for a tragic heart swap storyline.”
