“You’re the one that’s having a baby in the forest, ma’am,” the hiker doctor replied. “You’re not just some crazy mountain man nut job?” Maxie asked. Maxie jokingly asked if he was a doctor, but he surprised her by revealing that he indeed was. Maxie was glad it wasn’t Peter and grew concerned when the man started talking about all the bears in the area.Ĭell service wasn’t the greatest, so the hiker insisted he could go around trying to find service or deliver her baby for her. Maxie got down on the ground and prepared to deliver the baby on her own, but a shirtless hiker played by Roger Howarth (ex-Franco Baldwin) appeared. The action then backed up to four hours earlier – when Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) was wandering around the woods in Pautuck. As for Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), he made the decision to head home and left Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) behind temporarily.įirst, GH fans saw the feet of a nurse wearing Converse-style sneakers rush over to Peter August (Wes Ramsey) and stand over him. The answer may not necessarily come quickly, as the show’s headwriters also told Digest that Austin will “shake things up in surprising ways as the summer unfolds.General Hospital (GH) spoilers recap for Thursday, May 27, reveals that Roger Howarth made his debut as Austin, a hiker and doctor who delivered Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) baby. Might Cameron and his siblings soon have a new uncle? You’ll recall that Elizabeth recently told Scotty that she isn’t close to her father, and already she’s had at least one heretofore unknown-branch added to her family tree courtesy of Jeff’s daughter, Hayden.

Maybe the new guy in town’s fixation on a certain family concerns the Cassadines. There are, obviously, many other possibilities. Might Austin be the son of Jimmy Lee and Charity… making him Edward’s grandchild, Ned’s cousin and so on? And while that could be a coincidence, how often do those happen on soaps? Still wondering what we’re blathering on about? Well, it just so happens that the cabin to which Peter had Maxie spirited away was located in the town of - you see it coming, right? - Pautauk. With older wife Charity by his side, Edward’s son moved to the little town of Pautauk, New York, to run the general store. Well, after a series of unfortunate events unfolded, Jimmy Lee (who at one point went by the name Eric Quartermaine) decided that city life just wasn’t for him. “What does that have to do with anything?” you ask. (In the clip below, you can watch Edward welcome his newfound heir into the family fold.) Before long, he was revealed to be the illegitimate offspring of Quartermaine patriarch Edward, who’d long ago had an affair with Beatrice LeSeur. Longtime fans will remember that back in 1983, a handsome young man named Jimmy Lee Holt showed up in Port Charles. Our theory? That Austin is indeed related to the Quartermaines… but in a slightly less direct fashion. What about the Quartermaines? There’s been speculation already that Howarth could be a recast of Alan’s son, Drew (or perhaps even a re-reincarnation of A.J.). Hmm… but which one? The Corinthoses are certainly front and center, but Austin’s a doctor, not a made man. More: General Hospital sub’s anniversary snafu (If the plot gets any thicker, it’s going to be solid!) In the new issue of Digest, it’s revealed that he will have “an interest in a prominent Port Charles family.” More: Kirsten Storm sets record straight ‘before the internet goes crazy’ As luck would have it, the new guy was a doctor - just what Maxie needed to help her deliver baby Louise in the middle of nowhere. On May 27, Howarth made his first appearance as Austin, a hiker who bumped into Maxie as she fled from Peter’s henchwoman. “I have great faith in the people who think of these things.” He wasn’t just going to be worked back into the canvas of ABC’s one and only daytime drama, he was going to be worked back in in a way that left the alum of One Life to Live and As the World Turns stoked. Back in March, when General Hospital killed off reformed serial killer Franco Baldwin, portrayer Roger Howarth was quick to tell Soap Opera Digest that he wasn’t gone for good. Hmm… apparently, the Emmy winner’s new alter ego is going to have as great an interest in a significant Port Charles clan as the rest of us.
