And, of course, Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight), Laura’s half-brother, is coming home with her. General Hospital fans will recall that she and legal eagle Marty were whisked off to protective custody in August. Their evil brother and imprisoned drug lord, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), wants them dead.

Something must change soon if Martin and the town Mayor Laura are set to return. However, Cyrus still appears to be a threat from prison. Plus, Laura finds a lot of family drama waiting for her in Port Charles, promise General Hospital spoilers.

Laura Spencer Home for Christmas Chaos on GH

Laura Spencer will be home in time for Christmas. First, however, she must handle Cyrus when she returns to General Hospital. On top of that, she gets a shock from another villain. As Soap Dirt previously reported, a recent leaked GH script finds Laura getting disturbing news.

Soon, Laura speaks with an agent who fills her in on legacy villain Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy). She learns that Victor’s alive and was working with Peter August (Wes Ramsey). Even worse, Laura hears that Victor cut a deal with the WSB, and he’s a free man back in Port Charles.

Long-time General Hospital viewers may recall that Laura has a long and dicey history with the evil Cassadine family. So, she will surely worry now that Victor is around her family. And with good reason, because Victor is always plotting. No doubt, Laura Spencer has her hands full, confirm General Hospital spoilers.

Laura Distraught over Spencer & Nikolas on General Hospital

When Laura Spencer is back on GH, she needs to deal with Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez), her naughty grandson. No doubt, she’ll be furious that Spencer was stalking his step-mom, Ava Jerome (Maura West). However, she might be even more livid with her son, Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma).

After all, Nik is the reason Spencer acts the way he does. Laura may also be upset with Ava because she had Spencer arrested on General Hospital. And because she has control over his trust fund. Not to mention, there’s still the Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig) secret looming over Nik.

So, it will be a tough road ahead for Laura, but Genie Francis is thrilled to return. And Genie’s co-workers share her enthusiasm. The GH teens are ecstatic about Genie’s return. They can’t say enough good things about the legendary General Hospital actress. You can see that above.

And, with all of the drama centered on Spence, the teens should be interacting with Genie quite a bit. So, don’t miss a moment of the ABC daytime drama to see the iconic Laura Spencer spring into action and try to get her family back on track on GH.
