GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sam and Drew Tie The Knot! What Did You Think Of Their Vows?

Courtesy/ABC

In a simple and touching ceremony, Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Drew (Billy Miller) made it official and were married in front of Curtis and Jordan, and Alexis, Monica and Molly.

When it was time for the “I do’s”, the couple had written their own vows.

Drew, expressed that even though he has faced all of these challenges in knowing and remembering his true identity, he is always and forever in love with Sam.

During her vows, Sam expressed that the last two months of challenging changes, (Jason being alive, and Drew being revealed to be his twin) has not changed her feelings for him, and that she loves Drew so very much.  Following the vows, the couple exchanged rings and were officially married. Following the nuptials, Curtis )Donnell Turner) made a speech honoring the happy couple,

But, before the ceremony, Jason (Steve Burton) was seen thinking about Sam on the bridge, as Sam flashed back to her conversations with Jason on his return, when she tells him she feels badly for all he lost, but she loves Drew.

The wedding featured touching performances by Kelly Monaco and Billy Miller, as well as Steve Burton as Jason now being the odd man out.

So, what did you think of the wedding ceremony? Are you happy for Sam and Drew? Comment below.

Kelly Monaco played it like she didn’t want to be there.

Nice (expected) touch of Monica adopting Drew. Next step, taking the Quartermaine name.

I agree-re: taking the Quartermaine name. Why not? The mobster doesn’t want it.

Hope he does. I find Drew’s relationship with Monica touching. However, I will not except this change of name acceptable as a replacement for them sending Dillon off into the sunset.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a recast Dillon sometime this year

Why would they recast Dillon, Steve? Robert Palmer was shocked when they let him go; and upset. There were many petitions going around to save him and it seemed like they put him on recurring. After today’s episode seems like that fell through. Another ridiculous cut. We need the Q family and I thought Robert Palmer was great in the role from the minute he stepped in.

I long for the days of soap weddings when they were a highly anticipated 2 day event, not a Tuesday afternoon 5 minute special. I liked when they had a big hall or a church, not a cramped apartment set. I loved when they would go on location, which could have been far flung, or simply a park two blocks from the studio. I liked when everyone who SHOULD be at the wedding WAS at the wedding, not three people and 2 extras. Soaps have to get back to rewarding fans with event weddings. It is a payoff. Soaps will go on location to film violent kidnapping or murder scenes or explosions. They will rent warehouses to film mob shoot outs. They will film outdoor car scenes or indoor car scenes in real parkades if someone gets hit by a car or stuffed in a trunk. I get that we have no more breathlessly awaited supercouples who took years to get to the altar, and I get that budgets are tight. But if they can spend the money on gloom and doom, they should be able to find some for uplifting events like weddings!

While I’d love to see location weddings, I know the budget just isn’t there. I thought Sam and Drew’s wedding was rightfully low key. Her disposition and dress were off for me.

That they couldn’t find the money to have Mac and Felicia at Kevin and Laura’s wedding was stupid. It coincided with the reveal that Felicia actually won the mayoral race, which should have been looked at more from her POV.

Ned and Olivia’s wedding was lacking for a Quartermaine affair. Would it really break the bank to bring back Brook Lynn for an episode or 2?

Jason’s heart is fractured, he’s lost so much….He’s who my heart bleeds for.

I loved it. Love dream

I loved it and love them together.

How can Sam be so much in love with someone she doesn’t even know? Drew still has all of Jason’s memories and none of his own. What’s is his real personality like? Liz got bashed for wanting to marry Jake Doe with no memories. How is this any better?

Bring on the JaSam reunion. At least Sam actually knows him!

no way she loves the person who made up drew and how he is. far better then with sb. she knows the kind of of person drew is,and lovs him that`s all that matters
they had a beautiful wedding

no she doesn’t everything drew is IS Jason his thoughts his memories his personality are all from living as Jason for 5 years. No one knows the kind of person Drew is except Kim since she knew him before.

Well his memories of his daughter being born are his alone.

Drew has his own personality, regardless of whether he lost his memories. If someone has amnesia, but was always funny or intelligent, quiet or loud, affectionate or distant…they’re still all that. The only thing that Drew doesn’t know is his past. Which is why many said “Drew” was never really “Stone Cold.” Because, his personality was always different; it was his own. That’s why he became close to Monica, was a “teensy” more forgiving than Jason regarding Franco, less eager to do Sonny’s bidding, wanted to quit the mob and start a safer life…

These things are all who he is…now he has to fill in the blanks.

not overly impressive

Mumbly! I was so focused on poor Genie Francis that I couldn’t tell you anything they said.

I’m upset about Genie too. I’ve always loved the stories on this show but with this move, I am having it tough to hold the show in high regard as I always have.

I loved it. It was simple and beautiful and full of emotion. I love Dream.

I loved the wedding. It heartfelt, ultra romantic and all about Drew and Sam. I sometimes think viewers have forgotten just how much these two have been through in the last couple of years. They’ve formed a rock solid bond and have a connection strong enough to pull each other away from the brink of death. And chemistry between Billy Miller and Kelly Monaco is scorching hot and undeniable and they are phenomenal in their scenes together.

I’m sure it’s very sad for fans of Sam and Jason to see that couple come to an end but I’m sure Steve Burton is excited for the challenge to establish himself as half of a new great couple on General Hospital.

I really enjoyed the ceremony and thought it was closure for Jason. Sam has moved on to someone that she loves and will give her the life she wants for herself and her children. a life she never could have with jason.

Why is she still wearing white every time she gets married? Just asking! And goodness grief what’s the saying, the more thins change the more they stay the same, seeing JASON all teary eye was nauseating, and Spinelli was annoying as usual, I feel like the show is going back five years to being the sonny, Carly, & Sam , JASON show. It’s sad in the direction they seam to be going especially since some of us were hoping they be more inclusive and showcase their talented cast instead of the four musketeers. Does everything have to revolve around these four. Just think about it, Nelle and Michael story is bout how sonny n Carly feel , Jason’s return bout sonny n Carly , joslin and Oscar, more Carly, Faison, Anna’s greatest foe is fest what? Now foursome #1 foe. Ava’s redemption tie to guess who? And on and on .

Sam and drew were married in front of Curtis Monica Molly Alexis and little Danny , not Jordan, she had the sense to leave something that won’t last, lol.

Carly has worn white the last few times she has been married, too (Franco, Sonny). Every story somehow revolves around Sonny, Carly, Jason, and Sam. I agree, it gets old!

I know, Aria. All I can say is I knew Sam before she was a virgin,
Other than the dress, I can’t really comment on the wedding scene because I think I fell asleep.
I just find Sam and Drew to be incredibly dull together.

You are not the only one, Harry!

Dull is putting it mildly.

you can wear white as many times as you want. girls that are pregnant even wear white, it`s just a color.jordan left because she was called in,to workshe didn`t want to leave.sam and drew are the hottest couple gh has not one thing dull about them .they sizzle .sure wasn`t like that with the ex, talk about dull.

Lots of people wear white to their wedding even though they’ve been married several times…. but the rest of your statement I totally agree with I am so sick of them throwing Billy Miller under the bus… like Sonny and Carly’s and Spinelli’s opinions are the only ones that count??? Give me a break… I always found Steve Burton dull before he was with Sam… I wasn’t particularly happy that ihe came back as Jason…. it’s more like real life that she wants to be with somebody who isn’t killing people for a living….. the elephant in the room with his show is about criminals being glorified and I don’t particularly like that…. a good guy with an edge is cool…. but the way Jason is always been written is like he’s this wonderful guy he just happens to kill people for a living… I really don’t get that…. I have been watching GH since I was a little kid with my mom… and if you’re going to have anti-heroes at least have them have some socially redeeming value….

Loved it!!! KM and BM have done a tremendous job with this couple and their hard work in making sure that this pairing is believable and root-worthy is commendable. Despite the angst coming their way, this wedding was such a sweet touch. I truly hope they keep them together because there’s nothing better than watching two actors feed off one another so beautifully!

WELL said, surline. And it was nice to have a sweet, drama-free event without the duplicitous Carly or fairweather friend Spinelli interrupting at an inopportune moment. Just wish they’d let Billy shave that beard and grow his beautiful hair out. So tired of the grubby beard look in Hollywood. They’re actors–we want to see their faces!

Amen to those tonsorial tips, Soaphound! Billy is such a handsome dude…it would be nice to see him shine in all his well-groomed glory! Ditto for other less well-kempt males on the GH canvas, as well!

so agree,billy and kelly love working and being together. love them they are the best thing that gh has

did I expect to see a drag out knock down FIGHT between a gun for hire and a Navy Seal? Cain and Abel…

this story is not interesting enough… the writers @GH… already quashed this story… they marquee this like it was the 2nd coming of Christ.

Christ , did you see Sam getting ready for her wedding… MONOTONE is putting it mildly .. she’s clearly a dullard… as she looks in her makeup mirror and has a flashback of her and SB wedding. oh well. Sam as the prize has spiraled any thing this story could have done. i’m sick of it.. as Billy Miller , did he cash in ? is he that happy as an actor doing nothing? oh wait.. he’s the owner of Aurora.

is Steve Burton better served with being mauled over by Laura Wright ? what kinda show is this? same ole same ole. of course it is. his mantra : if Sam is happy then so I must be.

the only excitement generating… is Tamara Braun flexing it and doing it with William DeVry. Julian has his swag back… he’s smiling… he’s moving ON from Alexis… with Kim in the picture… it’s so easy to dismiss Alexis and Julian.

the new picture show : Kim and Julian

this wedding is that much more ad nauseum… as every other script between Kelly and Drew.. they’ve exchanged marriage vows so many times it got sick

Monotone Sam/Mumbles/and Dullard, another good nickname. I wish the character would leave the canvas. I get so bored watching her on-air.

good to hear that Julian is moving on sexy DeVry, love that Sam married Drew, Miller is the man. I wish they give Maura , Michelle strong storylines these ladies can make me wanted snatch them out the TV, yet nothing yet.

Yes, Luisa, I agree. William deVry is one sexy man. Heck, even the back of his neck turns me on. And you’re also right about Michelle Stafford…she deserves so much more. And Billy Miller is the man for me as well.

I thought for sure Sam would be abducted upstairs before she came down the stairs as the wedding march played. I still think Faison will grab her and Jason and Drew will have to work together to save her.

Now we’re talking…

I resent like hell Sonny trying to make the Faison/Anna story all about him.
Anna is fearless and with her roundhouse kicks and karate chops, she is the Emma Peel of the WSB.
No, Sonny, the fear in Anna’s eyes is not the same fear you saw in your battered mother’s eyes. Anna is nobody’s victim, stop trying to make this all about you. Get your own story. I am sorry, don’t know why I started talking to Sonny like he’s a real person who comments on this site.

I agree. I like Sonny and often stick up for him BUT I see this to, let Sonny sell his “Coffee” and let Anna do her thing! I dont even mind Jason being involved with Anna because Faison “Shot” him in the back. Plus, Jason and Robin are very much connected so Jason respects Anna. I know this is horrible BUT I was hoping Faison would have taken out Lulu. OR, what about Finn? Faison needs to do something diabolical. Thats who he is and always will be! [No complaints here!] Valenti would never kill off Finn. Well, maybe. Michael Easton can always return for the 100th time playing ANOTHER new character!

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Drew was still married, so this whole ridiculous thing was all for nothing.

First of all I was never a JaSam fan so i have no vested interest in them getting back together. Also I didn’t care much for Sam when she was with Jason because she centered her whole world around him way too much. After Jason “died” she became stronger and more independent and this has grown more with Drew. And let’s face facts now-if she chose Jason she would be endangering her children and her own life as well because clearly Jason has no intention of changing his life as Sonny’s hitman/right hand man. Sam clearly doesn’t want that life of danger anymore and she loves Drew because with him she has the family and safety she wants now in her life and she and Jason both know that Jason can’t and won’t provide that for her. Jason needs to move on and find someone who can handle his chosen way of life because Sam is no longer that person.

I guess it’s finally sinking in – for Sam… yeah, she never saw a body… to connect to “Jason” being gone for 5 years… but 5 long years has passed… and it sank in her mind… that as a mother… she think safety first for her newfound family.. and believe it or not… she loves drew… wallah

as for Jason : he’s telling Kim…. of the past 5 years.. he remembers “nothing” except for the past 5 months he was in that “Russian Clinic” so time never moved. he still “thinks” he should be married .. and still carries the same love that never left him…

I liked the reactions of Jason and Kim as they were shooting pool…. it hit Kim moreso when she was told Sam and Drew are getting married.

I had to think about Jason sitting at the bar at the end of the bar drinking his beer by himself… as the wedding night progressed

dag! he doesn’t even know any one to truly commiserate this. I am always glad tho when Sonny and Carly are not sharing ALL HIS screen time… so yeah… if this is time for Jason to stretch his acting chop and fly on his own.

I felt for him…

thus far: Jason has not “fought” for Sam one iota

yet, the WRITERS have shown Sam… so “devoted” to “Drew” her husband

Jason and Sam shared 3 kisses on the haunted STar. WITH those flashbacks .. when they were ALL that… won me over.. and I said cyanara to Drew

so.. to see Stone Cold being just that… stoic silent any emotion barely rising OUTSIDE OF HIS Buggah blue eyes… take flight and not hold back… according to the writers and fans flailing ABOUT those infamous eyes taking over

NOW … OK not so out of the blue … Drew and Sam FINALLY get married having heard them profess haughtily and mightily renewind their vows over and over. do get married

without so much as a real fight from Steve BUrton character? WHAT WAS THIS ABOUT? yeah, I think they love each other…

don’t forget that cuter post… irreconcilable differences “he loves her, she loves “him” .

so it’s like there is never going to be a fight coming from Steve Burton. unless a mob story gets them entangled… I don’t see any reason why to commit to this

is Kelly Monaco Sam going to resonate that much back and forth… thankfully they are cute as heck YEARS AGO. that’s not going to make Sam of here and now.. that much worth the fight… with stoic cold stone vigilantly holding on to what was… same ole same ole EVEN WITH Sonny and Carly… who ARE NOT generating anything new with… outside of proclaiming Carly has her BFF and Sonny has his supposed side kick.. as he used Jason… because he doesn’t even think

I do think Drew and Sam are going to bore us
I do think Carly and Sonny with Michael and Nelle.. are boring

yes i’m using that word… because I can’t stand to use the word dullard.. yet I will @the writers

it’s going to be interested to see what the WRITERS WILL delve in to or dole out… as they rethink the CANVAS and cast to choose from in which to invite us

because the show isn’t going anywhere with the 4 muskateers and the now infamous and BIGGEST disregard and disrespect going on now… from Frank Valentini… NO Kevin Laura and Spencer… Frank has severed GH in such a way as who knows what to do

they counted on Steve Burton and CArly and Sonny.. with Sam . at this point with Sam and Drew getting married that quickly… I can’t count on Billy Miller at all.

it’s an empty show… unless they put Kim and Julian frontburner

get back to Valentin WITH Anna or Nina… WRITERS WRITE for Michelle Stafford. bring back this threesome with Charlotte.

LEAVE Finn out of the Anna picture.

GH still reads better than Y&R and thankfully DAYS is full steam ahead

I thought the ceremony was very seeet. Those vows were beautiful and perfect for them. Love how the wedding was small with people who really love them.

I felt Sam had some reservations but went ahead with it. I was surprised that Jason or Spinelli didnt show up and yell “stop this wedding.”

Being a fashionista we have to say something about the dress! Does anyone remember Gunne Sax dresses from the late 70’s?? I had one for one of my proms. I immediately thought Gunne Sax when she came down the ‘aisle’, LOLOL!
Otherwise…. The episode seemed very underwhelming now with the weekend abuzz about Genie, etc. I’d love to see Jason paired up with someone a little down the road, have him get his stuff together for a while before jumping into a relationship. I liked him and Kim together, him and Ava, but I also like who each of them are paired with at present.

I hope you are meaning : Ava and Griffin ; Kim and Julian

now these are sizzling pairings

doesn’t that sound so nice dreamy and MOVING ON w/the show

but I have to point this out : I find Sonny and Carly ; drew and Sam so D-U-L-L

so to see the possibilities of new couples…

GH isn’t going to see it’s ratings move if we don’t see any other relationships develop

this show has to be more than… the 4 musketeer

to see Kevin and Laura spiral… for naught… without Spence

ps: I’ve wanted to post about Ava one woman show.

I didn’t notice any thing that stood out.. about Ava per se

I just noted TWO things-

1. is how HOT Scotty Baldwin still is. I loved his darker hair with goatee @ the gallery… fine gussied up

2. UNDENIABLE loaded full steam ahead.. Maura West and Bryan Craig STILL HAVE . wattage power load … altho did it seem to me it was more on the comforting side and maternal ? if he does return… i’m certain they will lessen his bi-polar… OK no disrespecting the issue. just any thing to get him and keep him and AVA out of the Corinthos orbit…

Scotty and Morgan WOAH

Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kelly & Billy are magical together. Loved when Drew was saying his vows and knelt down to Sam’s level. It’s the small things Kelly & Billy do that make this couple seem so real. Wish Scout was there

I do wish that they were married someplace else. Her mom’s house or Monica’s. Never should of been in the Pent House. Hello that place needs to be demolished. Its been tainted since Jake was conceived there.

The ceremony was beautiful and Sam was pretty,loved the dress! Drew was very handsome and Danny was very handsome! Loved Monica being there and Curtis and the Davis girl and mother! It was perfect!!!

I am just glad they actually hired a day player to be the justice of the peace and weren’t married by aunt Stella or any other character — that is one of my pet peeves shows too cheap to hire an actor for the day so they make one of the characters the officiant– most soap weddings are joke compared to what they used to be, but still it is nice when they make an effort to somewhat realistic

I loved her dress because it reminded me of mine from 1985, ha, ha.

It was a beautiful wedding,and I loved the fact that Monica offered to adopt Drew!!!! Now he needs to become a Quartermaine!!!! As for Jason,yes him and Sam had some good times,but there were also a lot of bad ones-where Jason would leave Sam over and over again,and always end up with Elizabeth!!!! One time,when he was with Elizabeth,Elizabeth broke up with Lucky to be with Jason!!!! Sam got together with Lucky,and they ended up being a hotter item than Jason and Elizabeth!!!! Then Jason and Sam got married,which was great at the time,but Franco had to mess up their honeymoon,so,as a result,Jason treated Sam like dirt when she was pregnant with Danny-wanting her to get an abortion at first,because of the possibility that Danny was Franco’s!!!! Of course,we know that he’s not,but Jason still shouldn’t have treated Sam that way!!!! Drew puts Sam and the kids first,with Jason,Sam was behind Sonny,Carly,Michael,and Morgan!!!! Now Morgan’s gone,but you get the idea!!!!!

I love her with Drew. Loved the wedding. It’s such a relief to have a happy couple.

A bit of yawn for me. It really doesn’t speak to me as a fan when they make these weddings so small that you blink and miss them.

Watching Sam walk down the stairs, looking like she was going to her death, while Billy was all smiles throughout it all, made me sick. Instead of white, maybe she should have dressed in sackcloth and ashes. Seemed like everyone was happy, but the bride. Oh yes, she said all the right words, but does she really believe them? Of course she still thinks of Jason, and the way they were, but does she honestly, truley love Drew? I think she is cheating all three of them. Is she really worthy of all the love and heartache, these two men are going through, because of her? I always think of that old song, Torn Between Two Lovers, and the words were written for Sam.

I thought it was bittersweet. Simple, understated, very nice. “Danny” is too cute. Beautiful boy. I loved, as others said, that Monica offered to adopt Drew. That was perfect. So meaningful since Drew has felt, after finding out he wasn’t Jason, like an imposter and an outsider. Her complete acceptance and love for him is very touching.

As for the wedding, it was intentionally focused on Sam to show her conflict. She’s obviously still in love with Jason, was remembering another time and place where she and Jason said their vows…and it looked like she might call off the wedding. Then it seemed she took a deep breath, remembered that she loved Drew, too…and went forward with it. Heartbreaking, really, because her heart belongs to two men…Drew’s belongs only to her. (Perhaps it won’t once his memories flood back.)

So, it was sweet, loving and warm. But I felt through the whole thing Sam’s emotional turmoil, Drew’s happiness, Jason’s regret and sacrificial loss.

Sad.

ok, So what happens when Drew finally has ALL of his own memories? Sam married Drew a guy who she built a relationship with in Jason’s home with Jason’s past if She didn’t have [Emily ‘Scout] Do you think she still w]

It is because BM/Drew does not have his memories back yet.. he’s still has Jason’s memories which is why he couldn’t answer Kim or Oscar’s questions. Think instead of rushing to get married since Jason helped him from staying out of MP Jail for being MIA. The s/l would have been better if Drew helped out with Sonny and Jason. Afterall, this affects him too. Drew and Sam should have waited until Drew gets his memories back. Sam knows “Drew” as A MAN with Jason’s past. They built a relationship with his memories NOT Drew’s . Think things will be A LOT different once he gains his memories back. Think Drew . For all we know things can change and not for the better. Recall that dream of him choking “Jake ” in his sleep and Jake being afraid of him. So not picturing a happily ever after ending for Drew and Sam. Think Betsy sent him away cause Drew pushed Franco down the stairs. Think there is a violent streak in him. #JustAnOpinion [Why else would they substitute and do this ? They were planning on using him to infiltrate Sonny’s organization and then take him out using Drew/Jason and no one would be the wiser except something went wrong with their plan. ]

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.”

Courtesy/ABC

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).

Photo: ABC

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.
