More of the Story on ‘General Hospital’ Star Josh Kelly’s Latest Film Role in ‘The Workout’
We had previously shared that General Hospital’s Josh Kelly was taking three weeks away from his role of Cody Bell to a shoot a role in an upcoming movie entitled The Workout.
Josh originally revealed his role in the film during an episode of GH castmates, Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson’s (Spinelli) podcast.
Now Deadline has filled in some of the blanks, and shared some intriguing intel on the premise of the film and its back-story. The film stars Kelly along with Peter Jae, and UFC Fighter, Ashlee Evans-Smith. Other cast members include The Bay’s Kristos Andrews.

In The Workout, two army rangers set out to create a workout video, but their plans are abruptly halted when a mob hit interrupts their filming. Tragically, one of the rangers loses his wife in the attack, sending him on a relentless mission to take down the mob and anyone who stands in his way.
The film from James Cullen Bressack, almost did not get financed. Apparently, ten days before his birthday, Bressack made a post on Instagram about the feature and production, casting, and financing came from the post … illustrating the power of social media. After the post gained traction, a producer provided financing and actors expressed interest in joining the project, leading to a quick production.

In a statement, Bressack shared, “As artists a painter paints, a musician makes music, a writer writes, but as filmmakers we have to ask permission to create. It’s time to change that narrative. This film spawned from a necessity to create. We create. We tell stories. We play pretend. I’m excited to take this journey. This is the truest form of collaboration and a community of friends coming together to make something fun. While our industry has had a rough time recently with strikes and a possible strike looming in the future, it’s nice to remind ourselves why we got into film to begin with. To have fun telling stories.”
No word yet on when The Workout will be released.
So, looking forward to seeing this collaborative effort featuring GH’s Josh Kelly? Comment below.

General Hospital’s Adam J. Harrington Weighs-in On John and Carly, and How it’s ‘Starting to Get Very Complicated”
On recent episodes of General Hospital, Carly (Laura Wright) came to John “Jagger” Cates (Adam Harrington) rescue as he was beaten down in an assault. Carly put on her “nurses cap,” sort of speak, and got John to his hotel room and watched over to him, to make sure he didn’t lose consciousness.
GH fans also got their first glimpse of what may be a new romance for Carly, if she and John continue to bond. If John and Carly were to have a relationship, it would certainly have a ripple effect with Jason (Steve Burton) and Sonny (Maurice Benard).
Adam J. Harrington shared his view on the scenes and what might be next between the two. Speaking to Soap Opera Digest, Harrington shared, “I thought it was written in a way where there’s an understanding and a respect between them both. I don’t think there was any moment where she was not aware that he’s an FBI agent, and there was no moment that he wasn’t aware of her history and relationship to other people in the town. I really liked it. I was really looking forward to shooting it with Laura and we had a really nice time shooting it.”

When Carly and John part ways, it seems there were some romantic sparks, as Harrington puts it, “Isn’t that interesting that sometimes with people, the one moment they actually show how they feel is when they know there’s an escape hatch. They know they’re about to walk away. So, it’s almost safe in that moment to do it. I thought that was really special about how (the writers) handled John and Carly. Even the music in that scene was beautifully done.”
Where is this all heading? Conflict! Internally and professionally, and as Adam explains, “Who Carly was to John on paper as just a tool to be used as bait is starting to get very complicated.”
What would you think of a John and Carly pairing? Would you prefer him with Anna, or neither of them? Let us know via the comment section and take our poll below.

Would love to see Sam and Silas emerged in a bubble bath whispering sweet nothings into the other’s ear.
Not because I’m a romantic but mostly because it would be nice to see Silas cleaned up for a change.
I would love to see Franco and Carly stay together and Anna and Duke. They are my two favorite couples of the show right now.
Franco and Carly are great!!! they will last a long time.. 🙂
Anna and Duke need a love break, time to be together!!
I don’t think so–don’t think Roger is happy and won’t be around too much longer.
yes the actors have chemistry, but past history makes the pairing unbelievable!! tumor or no tumor Carly would not jump to Franco. did Sam? no! horrible pairing!!
Just like Carly would never seduce her mother’s husband, or lie about the paternity of her baby with Jason, or plot with Sonny to have AJ look like a deadbeat….Okay! I always found Carly to be all about Carly regardless of who it hurt.
Carly and Franco is ridiculous. The one thing that Carly has ALWAYS been true to is JASON! She would lie to everyone else on the planet, EXCEPT Jason. She would never side with anyone who hurt him, let alone threatened her kids. I hate the revamp of Franco almost as I did the OLTL invasion!
The couples I like are Duke & Anna, Sonny & Olivia, Lulu and Dante. HATE Carly & Franco, Ava & Morgan, Michael & Kiki.
I hope that Ava and Morgan stay together. No matter what the writing calls for, these two sell every emotion that has played out. They have chemistry to burn, and the star-crossed mob war romance works for me.
I agree with everything you said. 🙂
Its a soap…some will get together…but in short time theyll just break up again…there are no happy endings on soaps…lol
Ain’t that truth—-once I saw so many of my favorite couples bite the dust over the years, it became hard for this jaded soap fan to get into the romance of ” happily ever after”. Now I enjoy the ride, but my days of rooting for or against any particular couple died with Victor and Nikki’s (Y&R) second divorce or was it their third???
Julian & Alexis!!!!…..truly talented actors who make it fun to watch! Hope they continue to develop this pairing and looking forward to watching all the complications along the way.
well..
Carly and Franco are the #1 couple… love them !!
and
Sam and Silas are #1 couple.. Love them !!……… (it’s a tie!!)
The other couples I could care less about..
I love Ava as a character, Maura West is amazing and plays her to perfection. But her relationship with Morgan sickens me, mostly because I really can’t stand Bryan Craig in the role of Morgan.
I really like Sonny & Olivia, Duke & Anna, and Michael & Kiki (even though I think Kiki is a stupid name, but I digress). Franco & Carly is a bit weird to me considering the past, and Heather needs to go away for a long time because her character has become such a cartoon, which is a shame because I love Robin Mattson.
Lulu & Dante aren’t really the same to me after Julie Marie Berman left, don’t get me wrong, I love Marcy Rylan, but I liked her much better as Abby on Y&R than as Lulu.
Sam and Silas are okay, but I want the whole Nina Clay situation to be revealed, and I have a feeling that somehow Donna Mills’ TBA character will somehow play into that, possibly as Nina’s mother? I don’t know for sure, but I can’t fully invest in Sam and Silas with that still hanging over their heads.
Lulu and Dante spell BORING in capital letters.
Morgan and Ava do steamy very well, but all in all, I don’t go for the cougar/May-December aspect of their relationship.
Carly and Franco – hell NO!
Nic and Britt – Is Nic every going to wise up? I doubt it. I loved Nic with Emily, but not with anyone since.
Sonny and Olivia – who cares?
Anna and Duke – I’m sorry, but there is nothing sexy about these two.
Sam and Silas – eh. I think it would have made an entertaining story if Sam had started falling for AJ despite all Jason told her about him. She would need to hear his side of the story, especially about Sonny and Carly.
Elizabeth is probably best left out there in left field along with Alexis. Neither woman has much luck with love or marriage. They even share a husband who is due back on the screen soon.
In soapdom relationships just don’t last, unless you are Dr. Tom and Alice Horton, or Lila and Edward Quartermaine.
I find writers who break up couples because they feel they become boring are lazyy writers. For many years Bill Bell was able to write for couples that never got divorced and drove story. Bo and Nora were together for years and had TONS of problems. The same could be said for Monica/Alan, and so many long term married couples. Yes they may have separated from time to time, but they used real marriage woes, to tell married stories that were relatable. Damn Nick and Sharon were married for 10+ years and were always frontburner. That says alot. Not sure why every writer takes the easy way out to break up couples when they cant come up with anything. I mean damn, just do what Agnes Nixon did, read a newspaper to find inspiration. Geez just all the stories from all my married relatives could provide stories for at least 5 years.
Mentioning Bo& Nora guess who broke that couple up good old JFP because she brought her good old buddy Kale Browne into play Sam. At one point HBS/Nora was so upset with that storyline she wanted her character killed off. It took us how many years to bring them back together?
#1 Duke and Anna. get the writing back…. i did not like the part… where… he was telling Anna… He joined the mob… because he wanted to be his old self again… he wanted to feel like a man… he was doing this to find himself… ??? whatever the case… it was no reason… for him to just disregard Anna…. she’s told him several times… she knows he was imprisoned… and yes, that changes a person… but… Anna accepts Duke… and that s LOVE… I just love this couple… above all other couples… I depend on these two
Dante and Lulu…. I am coming around…. “finally” whew! I honestly thought there was no going back…. man didnt Jullie Berman’ leaving… almost wreak havoc… but… I love how the little nuances…. of love are realized… she slept at the police station…. waiting for Dante… she is waiting, loving, and supporting her husband… that child will come… you love your man first… I love ER’ Lulu with Ben… that’s going to tear ME apart.
Morgan and Ava…. she told Morgan… “I love You”… how do you like them apples… as different as they may be… they find something in each other… that I dont’ mind… ( I don’t know what that is for sure) but for these two… it works… a semblance of normal? outside the trenches of livelihood? these two are on the same path with their feelings for each other…. I’m digging these two
Britt and Nicholas…. stratospheric pairing… if Liz comes in the middle…. for drama… that’s OK.. because this is QUALITY material… big scenes to eschew… I savor this new coupling… because these 4 shows… have to find ways to move forward… shes’ a newbie… he’s a veteran like… and SMOLDERING! Yikes! he’s at the forefront, like Jason Thompson…. father/husband/lover material…. wait…. too good… i’d mine these two… with care… or not… because, with Liz added in… this a show unto itself… so many avenues on which to cull…. but.. i’ts that love, romance, family, and fantasy demand! Love them
AJ… with whomever… if it’s Liz… get crackin’ the whip… whip up something… Visceral… I liken Sean Kenan… he’s grown up… manned up… grown in to his own… use the word flawed… character…. he’s got it… I like watching him search for words… he uses his script… his body language… and expression… are NICE! refreshing to watch, him interact… if it’s Liz…. definately, Michael…. man… I like this duo…. with his aunt Tracy and mom monica… he’s a gem
Liz… I honestly, don’t think they know how to write a story just for her… and that’s OK… she’s the command and dictionary … of FIYAH… sensual… allure, holds her own, is untapped… and mixes in so well with all the cast… and it’s fun to watch how she reigns her being…you can place her anywhere on the canvas… and she’ll mix and mingle
I can’t really comment on Patrick and Robin. too dissapointing.
Carlos and Sabrina? why NOT? go this route… venture in to a new audience… I like Carlos… and his gut tells him… he coulda woulda shoulda loved this woman… and another mans child…. he’s deflated… but… I like his fire… he should pick himself up by the bootstraps… and want her back…. amp him up… and Sabrina should savor his
Brad and Lucas… with Felix: it’s steamy to me too…. I can’t believe… my love life… is on -this was not a choice… i’m relating to this story…. I’ll soapbox all the time… for this good stuff – same emotions –
————
Please bring back Joe, Scully 3rd… for Tracy
I LOVE My Big Mac and SO Lovely Felicia
I admire you being able to deal with the recast ‘s L. For me, the beautiful individuality that was L’s Luke Spencer edge combined with Laura’s heart has been supplanted by a new character that bears no resemblence to that genetic pedigree. L has always been about more than just a baby and D by themselves. Now she is so pigeonholed as D’s wife and just wanting a baby that she now is nothing more than a plot point, vanilla pod. Another example. Where is the up and coming entrepeneur that was turning The Haunted Star into a club and dining establishment that would place her among the movers and shakers of Port Charles? Nowhere to be seen, hardly even mentioned. And it’s writing that I find insulting to the strong but still sensitive and loving young woman Julie Marie Berman built, layer by layer. That I find the young woman’s acting ability not much more than mediocre only adds to the further destruction of this once proud and noble character. But that’s me….
I want to know what is going to happen between Sabrina, Patrick and Robin on Valentine’s Day.
Looks great!!! The mysterious proposal will be Duke asking Anna to marry him…. just guessing?
I love Franco/Carly, Morgan/Ava, Nik/Britt, Sam/Silas, and Julian/Alexis.
So, basically, every couple that is doomed. LOL.
I like Duke and Anna, as well, but, in my heart, I’m forever, hopelessly holding out hope for Robert and Anna, so I can’t fully invest. But love both characters, both actors, and the storyline they’re in right now (opposite sides of the law- very appealing).
Sonny and Olivia are alright, but they’re more interesting as friends, partners in crime.
I love the beginning stages of the triangle between Felix/Brad/Lucas; still undecided which two I’m really rooting for 😉
None of these couples have any chemistry. Anna and Duke did once upon a time but now he seems like Uncle Arthur (Paul Lynde) to her Samantha Stephens Elizabeth Montgomery). Carly and Franco make me ill together–please get rid of this ill conceived idea.
And Lucas can do so much better than mouth breathing brad and that gossipy bytch Felix. Aren’t there any more gay men in Port Charles? Too bad Jason Morgan had to die.
Julian and Alex do not have it going on–it’s unseemly to see Alexis act more immature than Molly. And how many times can this fifty year old woman keep playing a born again virgin? Julian seems to have more chemistry with his own daughter, and he’d be
terrific with Lizzy.
The only couple I kind like are Nikolas and Britt. Love in the Afternoon has been replaced by Dread and Wrath.
Oh Harry….you make me laugh!!!! But you are so right about Alexis: it is highly unbecoming for her to be behaving like a giggly, gushing teenager in heat every time Julian is within close range! As a couple, I don’t see them as having any chemistry at all….what he really seems to need is a younger, more dangerous, daring type, like Sam, but of course, NOT Sam for obvious reasons!!! I also thought he clicked with Carly…and although I would not go so far as you did with your assessment of her mismatch with Franco, their storyline really is not working…not sure at this point with whom he should be coupled, but changes need to made. I also agree with you about Nik and Britt…they wonderfully mesh together….looking forward to more from them. I also enjoy Sam and Silas, today’s gross pizza scene aside!!! Furthermore, the sooner Dr. O. and Victor get together, the better….I think they could be super as a power pair….very hot, yet cold as ice!!!….As for Liz (and the underused AJ.) please either reunite them or find other partners soon. Lastly, hope Robin and Patrick have a sweet Valentine scene since we know their happy days are numbered…that being said, if there is a soapgod, Drake Jr. will NEVER get back together with his banal babymama! I still think that she should be sent away with her lapdog Felix in tow, since I don’t see how he could exist without having her to surround his entire day and night schedule…he would actually have to get—a—life!!!!!
Who cares! Give me Robert and Anna, Jason and Sam, Sonny and Brenda, Bobbi and Tony, Luke and Holly, Scotty and Laura, and Alan and Monica. Oh, okay, one current couple, Franco and Carly are growing on me!
What they really should hope for is.I bother to stay with them at all. I haven’t watched and from what I read on the boards. who cares? Will Robin get to spend valentines day with her family or is that for Suebrina? They lost Tristan, Robins been demonized to the tenth degree, Anna is a keystone cop and they poured my AJ in the bottle. Is this how they will send Michael back to the sainted mobster.? Bad AJ oh well happy Valentines day to everyone else, anyway.
Favorite romantic was and continues to be Stefan Cassadine.
I hate that GH and its several producers failed to utilize him and instead sacrificed him to the altar of a younger less dynamic man and handing Luke a silly win yet again. That was trite and a horrible waste of talent and a far more interesting and intelligent character.
The problem with today’s producers are an abundance of ego in which they hire their buddies, they prop the younger guys to the nines and a couple of divas instead of fleshing out characters and delving into what makes them tick and the far more interesting. What would have been more interesting than fleshing out why Helena hated her younger son and how that affected him. Why not establish a more sensible explanation that could have given substance to both Stefan and Nikolas? Had Stavros been the product of an affair Helena was hiding and not the prince or heir at all, Stefan was the threat to her precious first born as the true Cassadine heir. Have Nikolas and Stefan realize the lies in their lives and an identity crisis for both. Nikolas learning he is not the privileged heir of all! Stefan realizing he was lead to be subservient to his nephew and abused mentally his entire life because of a lie. Have Helena have to face off with both and seek out new relationships if she could manage to do so. Its far better than Luke prancing around drinking all the time and pretending he can out fight the world. Move on with relationships and even how that affects Laura or a woman from the past long ignored. I appreciate fleshed out characters rather than cartoons. Sad it is that the producers like cheap cartoons today
I love Franco and Carly!!!
me too
Me three! 🙂
I hope and pray that Silas and Sam stay as a couple! They belong together! Their chemistry is amazing, SEXY and HOT!!! I love watching them. They are so good together! Their love story is like a great romance novel that gets juicer and juicer as you read on….Silas and Sam forever!!
my favorite couple is Carly and Franco love them
Love Morgan and Ava and Britt and Nik.
Hate Carly and Franco, Michael and Kiki.
The rest are just boring. I mostly watch Days now and just watch clips on YT of GH.
