General Hospital (GH) spoilers have some news to pass on about a popular GH star. James Patrick Stuart, who portrays Valentin Cassadine on the ABC soap, recently shared an update for his fans on social media about an unfortunate injury he suffered last week.
James took to Twitter to share that he suffered a rib injury while skiing. “Cracked a rib skiing last week,” he wrote. “Thank goodness I don’t have to carry Nina out of any burning barns.”
As GH fans know, James is referring to a scene from last year when Valentin rescued Nina Reeves (Michelle Stafford) from the Cassadine stables, which were on fire. Valentin heroically braved he blaze and carried Nina out of the stables to safety.
Many fans have been responding to James’ tweet with well-wishes for quick healing and a speedy recovery, and many have appreciated his humor about the situation. One person replied with: “Ouch, hoping you recover quickly! I guess it is a good thing Valentin won’t be marrying Nina anytime soon. He might drop her over the threshold instead of carrying her over it. JK!”
And another fan commented with a little humor about the on-screen rivalry between Valentin and Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher): “So sorry to hear that! Don’t worry, Jax can carry Nina out if need be. Just a little humor there. Can’t wait to see the triangle between you all. All excellent actors.”
It’s great to see fans being so supportive of James. Skiing accidents can be quite serious, so we’re happy that his injures were limited to a cracked rib. Still, cracked ribs can be painful and take some time to heal, so we’re sending healing vibes James’ way.
Our thoughts go out to James as he recovers from the accident. Stay tuned to the ABC soap and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest General Hospital spoilers, updates, and news.
