Dancing with the Stars Season 16 Rumors – Another General Hospital Actor??
Ya know, it’s kinda funny. Maybe I’m getting jaded but every season it’s like: Soap actor, check. Olympian, check. Footballer, check. Struggling musician, check. Three people from the ABC family, check. Come on, guys – I’ve heard that Michelle Stafford from the Young and the Restless would love do do it and she’d look great with Tristan. :::sigh::: Just think of the whole universe of TV people you could have on the show if you weren’t hung up on this network CRAP. Okay….rant over. 🙂 Back to the point of this post. Caroline Hinsey (@CarolynHinsey) is a columnist for Soap Opera Digest. A little bit ago she tweeted the following:
I don’t know who the heck Alice is, but it’s not Finola Hughes, from what I gather on Twitter. Where’s Nathan? Educate us Nathan. Who are the likely contenders, if Carolyn knows what she’s talking about??
Wasn’t Alice the Quatermaine maid way, way back?
Alice is the maid for the Quartermaine family. So if it’s not her, it could be Jane Elliott (Tracy) Sean Kanan (AJ) Chad Duell (Michael) Leslie Charleson (Monica). Those are the only Q’s I can think of. Of course, Carolyn might be throwing us waaaay off with that hint. Another thing that is connected with Alice. Luke Spencer played by Tony Geary. Alice has a huge crush on him. Those are my guesses. But I would love Kristen Alderson or Finola Hughes.
Okay, so current maid. *LOL* And Nancy Lee Grahn is tweeting about the pope quitting to be on DWTS. Those GH people! It’s their 50th anniversary, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of the cast show up to dance.
Hmmm….I remember a lot of chatter about Sean Kanan. Didn’t think much of it at the time, just his fans wanting him on. Now I wonder. Of course, I often wonder what came first, the chicken or the egg? Not many sites are discerning between real actual rumors and internet chatter that they take as fact.
Yeah, there is something going on with General Hospital–and the 50th anniversary coming up would tie in nicely with ABC promoting it by bringing in a cast member. As many old cast members they have brought in recently, I wonder if it could be one of them? Genie Francis?
You know, Winter, Genie just did an interview where she said that her contract is for only a quarter and then they will see what happens. Could she possibly drop to recurring while she tapes DWTS? And as much as I love the cast, I think casting Genie would be more symbolic as it is the 50th Anniversary and who better to represent GH than Laura Spencer herself, Genie Francis?
Was it Soap Opera Digest or the TV Guide subscriber, where a Pure poster had the cast list before it was announced? I remember someone sending it to the moderators and it checked out last time…wishful thinking, I guess lol.
It was TV Guide. That was an awesome ‘Pure’ day. I don’t think any of us saw that coming. Speaking as a reader anyway 😛
I remember Tom saying he always wanted Tony Geary and Genie Francis on the show; so it could be one of them.
Cool, I love it and I also love the thought of Genie doing DWTS!
This actress plays Alice on General Hospital.

Also, Kristen Alderson, Starr Manning, has said in the past she would love to do DWTS. Kelly Monaco was asked last season who she would like to see on GH from General Hospital. She said Tony Geary. There are any number from GH who could be on the show. A former actor I believe I heard would do the show, Antonio Sabato Jr. I would love to see Michael Easton do the show, but he said he never would. Tristan Rogers would be a wonderful choice! How about Kelly’s head cheerleader herself, Nancy Lee Grahn!
Others from GH as possible contenders. Maurice Benard, Dominic Zamprogna, Brandon Barash, Kirsten Storms, Julie Marie Bermaan.
Don’t forget Tony Geary was in the DWTS audience once last fall supporting Kelly. The producers could have been talking to him about joining this season.
Oh, and Nancy’s Pope comment sort of makes sense. LOL The Pope is iconic. So are Luke and Laura, at least in their heyday.
If Genie Francis is the one joining DWTS, don’t forget who her husband is…. Tom B would be happy to have a Trekker connection on the show. Tom already follows Jonathan Frakes.
It HAS to be Tony Geary. He’s been in the audience, Alice the cook has always had a crush on Luke, and he’s got the necessary flexibility w/his GH schedule.
Luke Spencer on DWTS??? Mr. Cool himself? Jackpot! Hope you’re right! Who do you see as a potential partner?
I think you’re right, Court. Makes a lot of sense. Tall and lanky like he is, I could see them pairing him with Peta – one of the more mature ladies at least. Putting him with Lindsey would just be icky.
Rebecca Herbst was frequently in the audience supporting Kelly. I believe I read she thought it would be fun to do. Also another one comes to mind Ingo Radamacher.
Tony Geary can also sing. He has a wonderful singing voice!
It would be so awesome if Tony did the show too!! I have a feeling you are right Court!
OK, but is there any chance he can dance? It always gives me a massive cramp in my a$$ when they cast someone who can’t dance worth a lick but has a huge fan following.
I showed this to my mother and it made her day. She said that it probably is Genie Francis or Anthony Geary.
Is dancing a requirement to be on this show? 😀 I think Tony would fit the entertainment factor since he’s known to be a little bit off the wall.
I don’t know much about GH, but you are right in saying Michelle Stafford would look great with Tristan
Winter, good point 😉 Unfortunately, for me to watch someone past week 2, they need to be able to dance a bit. I’m one of those who cringes when I see people embarrassing themselves (even if they’re having a good time doing it).
I’m thinking it’s Jeannie Francis. She was on Y&R for a while then gone and then I heard she was going to be on GH again. Is she?
Tony Geary had back surgery last year. He has barely been on the show in the last 6 months, and still seems to carry himself gingerly.
Finola or Ingo Rademacher would be my guesses.
If not Tony, I’d love to see Rebecca Herbst. She is a former amateur figure skating and I think she would be good!
Finola Hughes tweeted a bit ago that she is not doing DWTS.
Not too surprising about Finola – her character is seeing a lot of action on GH right now, and she’d be Ringy McRingertons on DWTS, given her dance experience.
Court – I seem to recall an earlier post of yours where you mentioned that you thought Tony Geary would be great paired with Kym, except she (most likely) wasn’t dancing this season…. maybe it is Tony? 🙂
