General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that one ABC soap star is making a comeback. GH fans may recall that Zahra Amir (Maysoon Zayid) made her debut in June. The family court attorney was hired by Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin), who was eager to unseal “Wiley Cooper-Jones’” adoption records. Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) refused to cooperate, but the case against Willow was dropped following Shiloh’s arrest.
On Twitter, Zayid posted a fun pic and hinted at her return to General Hospital. She wanted viewers to get in on the conversation and predict which GH character Zahra was set to help. Zayid asked, “Who do you want to see Zahra Amir defend next #GH fam?”
Zayid then liked a tweet from someone who said she was glad to see her back at GH. On Instagram, the actress also put up a throwback pic of herself with Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) on December 13. Zayid urged everyone to “#staytuned” and included a peeking eyes emoji, so it seems like a safe bet that Zahra’s returning to Port Charles.
Shiloh is dead as a doornail now, which means Zahra has to be representing someone else this time around. Although soaps sometimes fudge a little on an attorney’s area of expertise, it’s doubtful GH will do that with Zahra. Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) made a point to mention that Zahra is a big deal. She had a stellar reputation as a family court attorney, so they’ll probably stick with that.
Since we know this is likely going to be a family court issue, that narrows things down a bit. That didn’t stop some viewers from hoping for Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) or Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma), but we’d say it’ll be someone involved in a custody battle. A couple of possibilities immediately come to mind.
Of course, many General Hospital watchers are rooting for Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) and Nelle Benson’s (Chloe Lanier) baby swap to be exposed. Could Nelle pull some stunt and act like she wasn’t a willing participant in this switch? It’s tough to believe Nelle could sell that bases on how everything went down, but you never know. Since Zahra defended sleazy Shiloh, GH might keep her streak of defending rotten clients going strong.
It’s easy to imagine Nelle trying to win custody rights if at all possible. Once she potentially scores her release from prison, Nelle’s bound to create chaos for Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and the rest of the Corinthos clan. No matter how this plays out, Zahra could find herself at the center of a major “Wiley” battle.
There’s even a chance a distraught Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) will fight Michael in court after his recovery. Lucas might take that step if sorrow and desperation drive him to it. That throwback pic with Benard could also be a clue that Zahra will be playing for Sonny’s team this time.
Then again, this could be a war over Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez). General Hospital has dropped some big hints that Charlotte may not be Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) biological daughter after all. Valentin would absolutely fight to keep custody rights of Charlotte anyway, so that’s another story option for Zahra.
Regardless, General Hospital spoilers say some hot drama’s brewing in Port Charles! We’ll give you updates as other GH news comes in. Stay tuned to the ABC soap and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest General Hospital spoilers, updates and news.
