There is a major showdown heading your way on Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital.  Now that the truth is out of the bag, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is going to have some things to say to Professor Parker Forsyth (Ashley Jones) and her relationship with her daughter Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth).

How will it all go down?  Well, Parker’s portrayer, Ashley Jones, previewed her scenes with Nancy Lee Grahn in a post on Tuesday on her official website!

Jones revealed: “Tomorrow on GH, Alexis gets all Mama Bear on Parker! I’m anxious to see how these scenes turned out. I’ve been a fan of Nancy Lee Grahn for years, so getting to work with her in this realm was a treat. We both had a ton of dialogue! I loved exploring the arc of these scenes with her, running lines and then taping. Plus, it was fun getting real Mom advice from her because, you know, I’m expecting my first! I’ll be posting more about the day after it airs tomorrow. So, stay tuned… and as always, it’s fun to hear your thoughts. I know GH fans are super intense, loyal and opinionated; I will brace myself!”

It’s been interesting to see how Jones’ real life pregnancy has been hidden during her scenes with Lexi Ainsworth in prior episodes of GH.  The actress also attended a baby shower in her honors last weekend where she writes on her site:  “My sweet girlfriends, Kaley Cuoco and Marisa Coughlan, hosted a safari- themed high tea baby shower for me. (It was a wonderland!) I’ll be writing and posting later about not only what an emotionally charged, memorable day it was, but also how this past weekend transformed my perspective on this stage in pregnancy. “

I hope Alexis comes face to face with Parker and lets her have it! A KISS! Yes, you want to stir the pot, a story about a mother and daughter fighting over the SAME women! That frees up Julian to be with Nina!

Eww NO Julexis Forever! They belong togetherr <33333

JINA!

You go Alexis!!! Set Parker straight.

I do not like Alexis—not what I would consider an all around good mother….this is just my opinion. I can only base said opinion by how I have been reared and by my own principles.
However, i was definitely taken aback by her confrontation with Parker. Alexis was softly powerful ( pardon the oxymoron, lol).
I would think that this was Nancy Grahn ( not Alexis, lol) being true to her courageous, and proud Scottish/ Norman Heritage. My grandmother said the name Grahn has deep roots in Scotland.

Sorry lou,think Parker set Alexis straight.Wow,what a pleasure to see theses two wonderful actresses work together!Still have the feeling Parkers wife has left her!Please keep Ashley Jones on General Hospital.A breath of fresh air.

I agree jackie, Parker 1, Alexis 0. To bad Parker wasnt an attorney, I’d like to see more of them going toe to toe.

True, jackie and Timmm. Parker did win the round. But, Alexis has shown me a determined, mature side of herself I did not know.

Great Scenes!

I wasn’t familiar with Ashley since I only started watching B&B after ABC axed OLTL and AMC. But Wow! Wasn’t sure how I felt about this new character but she’s growing on me..loved the scenes between Parker and Alexis/Nancy. They were both great. I hope GH can find a way to keep her at GH…but only if it makes sense to the storyline.

I never saw her before either- ex amc oltl here, too! Ok so she is preganant in the scenes that were on today? Did you see Tad on Y&R- he is so not Tad anymore and love the character and acting. I really like this Parker and the actress- a sucker for tears. Alexis I love too but she seemed kind of cold to her but is that how she would or? All the shows I feel are very interesting and on MF on air on Facebook there is a picture of Quinn and Liam and it is so shocking and can’t wait to see this play out!

I’m liking the doc/Tad as well. He”s starting to get more “complicated’, especially where Ashley is concerned. And “oh,” the dynamite scene when Wyatt walked in on Quinn and Liam. Viewers didn’t need a script to say his lines…”mom, what have you done””

Rose,looks like we really agree! Powerful scenes today!

Nancy and Ashley worked so well together! Id love to see them onscreen again together!

Also loved Julian and Kristina…him standing up for his wife was everything :))))

Agree Laurrr. I wonder if Kristina can develop a step daughter relationship with Julian and not be influenced by Sonny’s hatred for him. Julian did ask for a truce with Sonny several times in light of their family ties which Sonny flat out rejected.

Wow, ASHLEY JONES and NANCY were GREAT!!! I LOVE this PARKER character!
First new character on GH in a VERY long time, that I would love to see more of.
Is she under Contract? LOVED PARKER!!!

agree. Hope this isn’t the last of Parker and Ashley Jones.

While I would enjoy Kristina and Parker to wind up entangled….Parker had chemistry with Alexis during their luncheon.
Some actors have chemistry with no matter whom they are paired with.
Becky Hearbst is another example of screen chemistry.
Chemistry is a special quality. It can’t be forced (Sam&Jason), it can only flow organically out of a person. IMHO

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
