General Hospital
ABC Official Annoucement on Good Afternoon America Daytime Summer Replacement Series!
Courtesy/ABC
I am sure we were all envisioning a day when One Life to Live is back on the airwaves, in our heart of hearts. But soap fans and viewers won’t be seeing that on ABC. First, audiences had to deal with the OLTL’s disastrous replacement, The Revolution, which in turn was canned by the network because of horrendous ratings. And now it is being replaced for the summer by the previously announced GMA in the Afternoon series. So today, ABC made it official with a press release with details about the summer series.
Here’s the info: “Beginning Monday, July 9, ABC News will air a one-hour extension of Good Morning America for nine weeks entitled Good Afternoon America. The program will be anchored by “GMA’s” Josh Elliott and Lara Spencer, with Sam Champion, Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos joining in with special appearances. The energetic, fast-paced program will feature the most-talked about celebrities, performances by the biggest names in the music industry, the latest pop culture news, plus original entertainment, lifestyle, health, workplace and consumer reporting from an all-star list of contributors and other members of the ABC family.
“It’s tremendous that ‘GMA’ has this opportunity to extend its reach and bring something new to the afternoons,” said co-anchor Josh Elliott. “It is gratifying to play a role in it, and we genuinely hope our audience will come along for the ride.” Co-anchor Lara Spencer added: “I am beyond excited and honored to be part of this new chapter for the Good Morning America family. Good Afternoon America gives us the opportunity to reach a different audience, and better yet, to spend a little more time with our morning viewers who want to be a part of the conversation and fun we plan on bringing to afternoon TV. Good Afternoon America will air from 2:00-3:00 p.m., ET and will be taped at “GMA’s” studio at the crossroads of the world, the heart of Times Square.”
All we can say soapers is make sure to keep watching General Hospital! We know many of your have read rumors on certain message boards, that there is some concern that an alternate plan in the works that could nix GH in the future to make way for Good Afternoon America. The point here is: if only ABC would have left OLTL on, GH would have had an appropriate lead-in. And point two, if GMA can be a better lead-in for GH, it should help their ratings, but will it give the suits other ideas? The jury is out! So what do you think about Good Afternoon America? Will you tune-in?
I promise GMA will have no viewers and here the hell we go again. What is going to happen when GMA has nothing? I am so sick of ABC.
If GMA has nothing, then GH should replace it, followed by Katie. Then we boycott Katie and she fails. It’s either soaps in the afternoon or nothing.
Me too all soap fans. No one is going to watch GMA in the afternoon. They will probably have even lower ratings than the Revoltion!!! We want our soaps back not some stupid cheap substitutes that no one wants and no one watches! We want our daytime afternoon line up back that we have had for decades AMC, OLTL, and GH in that order. If they want to put Katie on at 4 pm that is the only way she will get any lead in ratings! Just because GMA in the afternoon doesn’t have an audience does not mean GH will. I have been watching my shows on Hulu the next day as I am working again.
That’s a BIG ditto from me, too. I just hope enough people will get it through their heads.
ditto – me too!
I wrote a couple emails to my local ABC affliate asking them to please keep GH on in the fall – got an General Hospital newsletter from about.com which gave all the address. Guess ABC was having meetings with the affiliates yesterday and today asking if they’d like to have an hour of GH or GMA in the afternoon for the fall lineup… yes, here we go again! I don’t watch GMA in the morning and hell no, not going to watch it in the afternoon. ABC is just all the same kind of programming all day long without GH! Soaps or ABC is off the air in my house! I told the station, if GH is gone I’ll be going to CBS or NBC for a new soap!
Will not be watching! GH is the only show I will watch on ABC until they give us back OLTL or release the rights back to Agnes Nixon! UGH!! ABC continues to raise my blood pressure!
You know we fought a good fight and got abc/disney to keep our general hospital, One of the head people at abc said let the best show win, well the revolution was cancelled, now their lying their replacing that stupid show for another waste of time show. I’m glad I continued to boycott abc because I want one life to live back I know that’s not going to happen and I hate to say this but I believe all this back stabbing abc/disney has done to us soap fans never stopped when gh was renewed their lying to shut us up. all soap fans should boycott abc daytime and yes, Prime time to.
Bring back OLTL……..I will only watch my soaps on ABC!!!!!!!!!
Tv guide came out with their 25 worst tv blunders, One life to live and All my children are on that list. They have no one but idiots running abc/disney. They should bring back One life to live before its to late, we have already lost a lot of our favorite characters to other shows.
hello michael fairman abc is playing mind games with all of us. on the weekend the message boards say general hospital could be cancelled sooner. i hope this is just a rumpur. i don’t trust abc at all. when general hospital got renewed in april. i was so happy. but now with good afternoon america i am getting worried that abc is going to all stab us in the back and cancel our soap general hospital. i have a bad feeling in my stomach that general hospital will be gone. i hope that i am wrong. please general hospital viewers don’t watch good afternoon america because our general hospital needs our support. good afternoon america hopefully will bomb. nobody cares about lara spencer she is annoying as hell.
ABC doesn’t care how good the ratings are, if they plan on cancelling GH , they will! OLTL had great ratings & it’s gone! If GH makes it to next year it will be a miracle! They don’t want any soaps! And I can’t stand Lara Spencer either!
Lipstickcat, I believe you are right. I can’t stand lara spencer either. abc sure trashed their day time line up. When and if they cancel general hospital there will never be any reason to watch their news, talk, celebrity filled afternoons I hate shows like that, I love my soaps.
I don’t get it either, Why people watch the chew, even the name is dumb, I can’t see any woman wanting to watch those idiots making food and talking stupid uninteresting crap for a long hour, Boring. I want drama, I want our soaps.
Agree with your comment below about The Chew. The success of The Chew undermines the soaps. It leads executives to think people will watch any cheap crap. If The Chew had crashed like The Revolution, GH would be safe. The Chew should choke on itself and die. Only soaps after 12 pm or nothing.
i agree. lets boycott the chew and good afternoon america. i really love duets and revenge but nothing else at night on ABC. If they can GH, I will give up duets and revenge until they bring back an afternoon soap.
No matter who or what ABC airs, they will never take the place of a 75 yr old genre!!!! Like replacing “Children”, there is no substitute! I think the only reason the stars are taking jobs on new shows is for a paycheck since you destroyed their life and their steady income with no concern for anyone or anything but the ABC financial dept. GIVE AGNES BACK HER SHOWS, so someone else can jack their stations ratings and we will even help promote and sponsor the sponsors products!!!!!
No, probably won’t be watching. If I want news in the afternoon, I’ll watch msnbc.
don’t watch it’s sister show… won’t watch this one
I will never watch GAA or anything else on ABC but General Hospital. That especially goes for the Oprah wannabe. If the soap fans all stick together we can make sure the Spew, GAA and the Oprah wannabe go down.
I am VERY AFRAID of this show! One one hand if it’s got good ratins and is a good lead-in for GH, then this could mean the good ratings would make affiliates want to pick it up rather than GH come fall. ANYTHING ABC programs in the afternoon I will not watch, except General Hospital. I am way too afraid for my soap to give legs to anything else, and so should everyone! Do NOT watch GMA, it’s a trap!
I am not home in the afternoon, but I will not tune into see Good Afternoon America. The Only thing I watch on ABC is General Hospital and I will watch JJ’s series Nashville
What do I think about GMA in the afternoon? Lose Sonny and bring back my old favs like Robert, Lucy, Scotty, Laura, Alan, etc (the list goes on and on) and I’ll watch GH til I die!
buh bye gh. abc I HATE u.
I’ll be tuning into GH, it’s been getting alot better lately with the varied plots that don’t all revolve around Sonny and with the influx of some OLTL stars. I won’t be tuning into the afternoon version of GMA or any other ABC show, unless they someday get the sense to bring back OLTL and AMC.
Seriously, We are screwed, In september when they put that katie show on what happens to general hospital? Abc/disney is going to get rid of it their messing with the soap fans again, That’s why they only renewed it for one year, So they can cancel in 6 months, I hate to say this but I said don’t trust abc and I was right. I say we boycott this garbage cheep news show we continue the boycott watch general hospital we have to get the ratings up even higher don’t think the lead in matters the mouse kingdoms mind is made up and we are going to loose another soap. I hope I am wrong but all weekend I read at several sights that general hospital is gone ,and I am hearing it will happen in September. WHAT RATS THOSE PEOPLE ARE THAT WORK FOR ABC/DISNEY.
WELL..the public spoke and told ABC We do not like the “REVOLUTION”. it was cancelled.. so apparently the PUBLIC better get their feelings made clear and tell them WE DONT LIKE ANOTHER DAYTIME TALK SHOW either. RATINGS are the only thing that really SPEAK to the powers that be at ABC.
Michael,
In a word, “No”. I have no interest in this new program. I am one of those OLTL fans who refuse to watch anything on ABC anymore. I have no need for any ABC programming since they took OLTL off the air.
Thanks, Mark
Absolutely will not watch GMA, I think they are making another big mistake by not bring the soaps back, but I guess they will learn a lesson the hard way when that show is cancelled because, the number of people who won’t watch any show until they bring back the soaps.
No I will not!!! I say BOOOOOOO & BOOOOOO again..there will never be any replacements for my AMC & OLTL…there is only way ABC could make it right & we all know what that is…
I think we all better boycott GA America, just like we were boycotting the Revolution And the Chew! ABC needs to see by ratings that these kind of shows are Not going to get the ratings that our Beloved One Life To Live did!!! And this will also help to keep GH on! If ratings for GA America are good ABC will just want to can GH!
You don’t need to be a genius to figure out that Good Afternoon America is more than just a summer replacement. It is an actual test to become GH’s replacement. If this thing gets ratings similar to The Chew and The Talk, you can kiss GH goodbye. That’s why it’s imperative for all soap opera fans to strongly boycott this thing, while strongly supporting GH.
That’s exactly what it is, that’s why we have to do to good afternoon america what we did to the revolution. I knew abc was playing head games with us soap fans that’s why I never backed off the 3 emails a day to abc and I will not watch anything on abc/disney except General hospital.
Why are people watching The Chew? It’s a horrible, disgusting show! The Revolution is going but The Chew lives on! Why? Unfortunately, ABC is just using GH as a filler until they find some garbage nobody wants to put on in it’s place. It will be lucky to make it to next year.
barbara t,
I have SOMEWHAT felt bad for the folks at The Revolution when their show was cancelled because they probably didn’t know that they were going to replace a soap opera when they took their job at The Revolution.
But I have no sympathy whatsoever for Josh Elliott and Lara Spencer. They both are very well aware that GAA is set to kill to GH. Elliott and Spencer each make huge salaries a year and it makes me sick that they want more, all this at the expense of a soap that has aired for nearly 50 years.
I have never watched The Chew or The Revolution and if ABC thinks that I’m gonna watch this masquerade, they sure have another thing coming.
Can’t think of anything worse than Good Afternoon Amercia, except maybe the Chew. Agree it is absolutely the worst show ever-horrible, embarrassing. I don’t feel bad for the Revolution people-that show is almost as bad as the Chew. None of them deserve to be on tv at all.
Afternoons are for SOAPS period.
I agree with you Gloria, You said it, Afternoons are for soaps. I still would like to know who watches that garbage?
I will not watch GMA in the afternoons. Ever.
What part of we do not want anymore talk shows or reality tv during the day or night for that matter do they not understand? It will still be in the OLTL timeslot and I will not watch! I only watch GH on ABC and that is it…. Really we have enough of GMA in the morning we don’t want it in the afternoon. But at least that awful revultion will be gone.
Agree with every word.
I can most assuredly tell you and everyone within the ABC network that I will not be watching
GMA either in the morning or afternoon, or Katie Couric or any program that is
broadcasted by ABC other than General Hospital. I will continue to boycott 100% and I know I speak for many, many loyal fans of the soap opera genrue. The Repulsion Revolution didn’t last longer then two hoots in the holler and I guarantee nothing you add to the line up besides OLTL and AMC and GH will make it either!
Probably not. If I’m awake when I get off night shifts I don’t watch GMA, I watch CTV’s CanadaAM show.
Soapwise, I catch B&B (for Crystal’s storyline) via the CTV iPad/iPhone app, and GH via YT b/c CTV no longer carries GH – and we can’t stream the ABC iPad/iPhone app in Canada, nor the ABC website streaming (thanks to geoblocking). No working DVR/PVR atm.
“The energetic, fast-paced program will feature the most-talked about celebrities, performances by the biggest names in the music industry, the latest pop culture news, plus original entertainment, lifestyle, health, workplace and consumer reporting from an all-star list of contributors and other members of the ABC family.”
Blah, blah, blah, ABC. I do NOT care. I do not trust you and I HATE your business practices. I only watch your ONLY original programming daytime drama, GENERAL HOSPITAL.
And to my fellow soap fans, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do NOT be sucked into this “show.” ABC is just planning another trick. We won the first battle. They want to win the war and get rid of ALL of their daytime shows. They only have one left. Let’s not watch this garbage. Please, I beg you. Just watch GH and that’s it!!! Let this so-called “summer replacement series” go down in flames just like The Revolution did.
Seriously I dont think we ever won the first battle. Abc/disney was trying to keep us quiet while they planned a new way to attack the soap fans. They gave General hospital 1 year that’s nothing if they were committed to keeping it in their daytime line up they would have renewed for a longer time. The boycott continues, we watch general hospital nothing else. What we did to the revolution we do to good afternoon america. HERE WE GO AGAIN.
You are probably right. After the Tivo debacle and everything else I have witnessed, I am just disgusted with the ABC network. It’s just sickening. I don’t trust them at all. They probably will cancel GH by September or December. They make me so mad.
“I am sure we were all envisioning a day when One Life to Live is back on the airwaves, in our heart of hearts.” You got that right, Michael!
I will NOT watch GMA PM. It does NOT “bring something new to the afternoons.” It’s the same, repetitive talk about celebrities and other trendy, useless crap. Let this show fail. Let Katie fail. Except for GH, let everything fail in the afternoons on ABC until some form of OLTL returns somewhere.
You said it David, Useless crap, We continue the boycott and we have to get the ratings up on general hospital. And e mail abc/disney every day 3 times a day.
BOO!!!:-Q
GH is going to need to keep stepping it up, just because Revo was cancelled and GAA is “supposedly” only 9 weeks doesn’t mean ABC won’t get rid of GH if GAA shows even the slightest hinge of success. WATCH GH! Remember fans, there was no GH renewal by ABC, it was just a reprieve. I want to see GH turn 50!
Nope won’t be tuning in for anything other than General Hospital on ABC. If they ax General Hospital I’ll be axing ABC for good.
Same here. They have very shady business practices too. It would be very easy to do.
I won’t be watching anything else in my OLTL time slot unless it is OLTL or GH and Todd Manning is in it. Sorry GMA.
Burf!!! What else can I say!!!!1
” The energetic, fast-paced program will feature the most-talked about celebrities, performances by the biggest names in the music industry, the latest pop culture news, plus original entertainment, lifestyle, health, workplace and consumer reporting from an all-star list of contributors and other members of the ABC family.”
Oh screw this. How many contortions of this kind of repetitive fodder can they keep offering up? Why not re-runs of OLTL of AMC? How about that little nod to your viewers, ABC? Show us some of the best of our beloved soaps again as it has been proven a stupendous error on your part in removing them in the first place. Do not watch GAA soap fans. Do not give them any hint of a rating that they could use to justify canceling GH for.
I will NOT watch GMA-in the Afternoon.Soaps or nothing-loyalty counts!
Will not watch it in a million years! Give us OLTL back! I will never watch any of the replacement shows EVER!
OOOOH! Can’t wait not to watch. How boring-I quit watching GMA years ago-it has gotten so “celebrity” driven, same thing with the Weather Channel. By that I mean the anchors/hosts act like it is their show-so cutesy/flirty/funny-NOT. Everyone wants to be a celebrity. They forget what they are supposed to be doing-providing info. not the silly antics they have come up with.
Entertainment used to be provided by television dramas/comedies-NOT “reality” crap and 4-5 hrs a day of GMA/Today Show. God. Something get a clue & revive our soaps.
Meant “somebody” get a clue . . .
This is a disgrace. Bring back One life to live and All My Children already.
A big shout out to Robin Gibb who died this weekend The Bee Gee’s were part of my past RIP!!!!
I love the bee gees, their music made you want to get up and dance, Made you feel good inside. RIP Robin Gibb.
ABC had my loyalty for almost forty years…no more…GH for me and that
is it..I could not even tell you who was on DWTS..No ABC at my house..
Soap fans need to stick together an show how loyal we are. ABC is dead to me during the day except GH. I would love to give the ABC executives their pink slips!
I agree. I never stopped boycotting abc, I never trusted that 1 year renewal if they truly cared for general hospital they would have renewed it longer. Once again the famous mouse house has deceived us, and once general hospital is gone There goes the last hour I spend with those rats on that low life network.
Since One Life to Live was canceled, the only ABC show I watch is General Hospital I even gave up my prime time favorite Modern Family. I loved Lara Spencer on Antiques Road Show but , I will not watch the new show. The only Spencers I care about are on General Hospital. I am still lost at two O’clock but , I will not watch One Life to Live’s replacements.
Michael,
I have yet to find an ABC press release that announced GH’s renewal. It has been reported in the media when the Rev was cancelled, but ABC has made no official announcement re GH. That has made me suspicious of their direction. Do you know of any official ABC announcement on their plans for GH?
Thank you, MBmom
It’s ABC’s show so it is not a “renewal.” They are just deciding not to cancel it … just yet. It is very suspicious, isn’t it?
Thanks. That does make sense. But you’d think if they planned for the show to make it to their 50th anniversary they would try to get a little press for it. How many shows make it to 50?! I wish I ran ABC/D 🙂 or at least their PR Dept.
You would ABC caught a clue based on their failed lifestyle shows they produced to “save money”. How is it saving money when you lose more money cancelling a show that viewers clearly didn’t want. GMA in the afternoon will suffer the same fate as the show that was cancelled when it replaced an iconic show. Yup ABC truly does not want people watching their network. Their attitude is we need to get over it, we will just as we will get over not watching their crappy shows. Karma is the bitch that Erica Kane raised it to be!
The success of The Chew hasn’t helped the soaps. If The Chew had failed as badly as The Revolution, GH would be safe. The Chew needs to fail too. Only soaps after 12 pm or nothing. If ABC is going to broadcast garbage, they might as well broadcast nothing and save money. After the failure of The Revolution and the loss of OLTL, the idea of GAA is insulting and offensive.
Will not even allow it on my TV by mistake. ABC has lost their minds if they think for one moment they will get any airtime on my television other than GH. It is a personal mission of mine to boycott thier non-sense broadcasts other than GH.
I DONOT TRUST ABC. THIS IS THEIR PLAN TO END GH. IF IT GETS EVEN HALF DECENT RATINGS AND IS CHEAPER….ITS GOOD-BYE GH.
Soap fans this is a test. ABC is hoping for just a little better ratings than the revolution. You can bet they will dump GH in a heartbeat in favor of this empty calorie programming. ABC has all sorts of ideas for afternoon programming. Even if this show fails, there are others waiting for further devopement. I don’t watch either network morning news show, and I won’t watch this in the afternoon. How much news can possibly reported? How many celebrities and authors can be interviewed (change the channel and the same celeb is on another show plugging some flop of a movie.)? Honestly, ABC there is nothing new this show will bring to the table. I watch my local news at 6 and If there is an urgent issue I’ll watch CNN or Fox.
Shelly I agree 100% they are itching to drop GH that is why I have started watching again but I feel they just threw us a bone in March renewing it for only one year even the actors are scared.
I won’t be watching.
I wish we had been so organized when ATWTs and GL was cancelled and boycotted their replacements. I do but if everyone had who knows,maybe ABC would have seen the writing on the wall..
I even turn GH on a minute late so I never got counted for having the rev on. Sorry won’t watch. I don’t watch the morning shows. Any of them.
I completely agree. I was a lifelong fan of GL & ATWT and I just cried at the loss of “my” shows; I didn’t speak out. I think ABC got a rude awakening after the slaughter of OLTL. They lost over a million viewers over the course of a weekend. Yup, you’d better believe in this economic climate, corporate America has people watching that stuff. Whether they were selling tampons, diapers, cat food, detergent, or cereal; someone was pissed off at the loss of the 2:00 pm (est) viewers.
No ABC/D for this household and especially no more of GMA in any form. They are so busy promoting movies and other TV shows that they don’t have time for the news. Why would I want to watch any more of that?? The other networks provide news and cable provides the entertainment.
It’s GH or bust !!
I hope the GAA show really is for nine weeks only, but just like everyone else here, I despise and distrust ABC/D. GH is the only show I watch now and I have no intention of watching any new programs unless it is AMC or OLTL. GH is better now than it has been in years and I really hope all the soap fans will rally around and watch it every day!
Keep the same agenda that you had with The Revolution – unless this show completely tanks just like The Revulsion did, we WILL lose GH.
I find it hard to believe that a network that has nothing but talk for their entire daytime schedule will have good ratings. Yes it’s cheap, you don’t need as much revenue or ratings to sustain this type of programming. But really, who would watch this schedule unless you have no cable or internet and you are housebound? I still can’t believe my soaps have been replaced by this cheap, “blah, blah, blah” junk. I don’t even watch my ABC affilliate news or programming because of this direction. And I let them know it. I would rather read a book, go for a walk, listen to music or do anything than be subjected to this for over 12 straight hours per day when you include the local news in the mix. And most people consider me a “news junkie”. This is overkill to the max. If they take GH off the schedule I hope it is the nail in the ABC/D coffin.

‘General Hospital’s’ Kelly Thiebaud on Britt and Cassius Sibling Drama, But Who Will Ultimately Blow His Cover?
On the April 30 episode of General Hospital, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had some choice words and warning for her brother Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) who has been masquerading as his twin, the very dead, Nathan West.
As the story has unfolded, viewers learned that Britt knew all along that when “Nathan” showed up in Port Charles seemingly resurrected with a missing 7 years of his life unexplained, that Cassius was taking his place.
Now in developments on today’s GH, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is figuring out that this guy pretending to be Nathan is someone else, and Cassius learns from Britt, that Joss is not just a ditzy sorority girl as he claimed, but a WSB agent! The moment stuns Cassius. Are the walls about to close in on him and his charade?
Courtesy/ABC
Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest, about the story point and getting the opportunity this time back at GH to work with Ryan Paevey, when she hadn’t had the chance to before.
BROTHERLY LOVE?
Thiebaud expressed on sharing scenes with Ryan Paevey, “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him! When he first came onto the show (as Nathan at the end of 2013) I was kind of heading out — it was right towards the end of my contract, so we didn’t actually work together a ton. It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together. I think we have really great on-camera chemistry and banter with each other. I really enjoy working with him.”
With the stakes at an all-time, Thiebaud explained how she views her on-screen alter-ego’s involvement with her more hot-to-temper sibling and why Britt revealed the truth about Josslyn to him. “People finding out about Cassius would expose what she’s involved in and what she agreed to do,” explains Kelly “And now Josslyn is digging around, and she’s connected to Carly (Laura Wright) to Jason (Steve Burton) and that whole dynamic! It’s messy!”
BRITT’S MURKY FUTURE
Britt has currently also reached her breaking point with Jason being carted away by the WSB, Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) to protect her and Jason, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) being killed after trying to help her, and Cullum holding over her head getting her Huntington’s disease medication to control her symptoms, while blackmailing her into finishing the research on her father, Cesar Faison’s, final project. Thiebaud summed it up best for Britt right now, sharing, “It’s been a really tough time for her.”
So, who do you think will be the person to blow Cassius’ cover? Will it be Britt herself? Josslyn? Liesl? Brennan? Nina? Lulu? Rocco, Maxie, Cullum or someone else? Let us know your pick in the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Michael Reveals His Plan to Set Up Chase and Willow to Have an Affair
After the Wednesday, April 29 episode of General Hospital, it’s clear outside interference and other circumstances are set to blow Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) marriage sky high, as Michael (Rory Gibson) reveals his plans to entrap Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and use her relationship with Chase to do it!
In story, Michael dropped by unexpectedly to Carly’s (Laura Wright). A plotting Michael reveals his plan to nudge Willow and Chase into having an affair. Michael hopes it would create both a political and personal scandal, where Willow would lose her seat in congress. In the scenario, she would be having an affair with her ex-husband, while taking care of her supposed disabled husband, Drew (Cameron Mathison), who cannot speak and is confined to a wheelchair, which in turn will look horrible for Willow’s character.
Carly asked does he really want to destroy his cousin, Brook Lynn’s life in the process? Michael goes in on Chase’s holier than thou attitude, and says he is going to set-up the circumstances that would lead Chase and Willow to betray their spouses, and hit the sheets together. Michael swears to Carly what the two of them do is up to them, but he’s going to go on the offense with this.
MICHAEL HAS BACK-UP
Later, Jacinda (Paige Herschell) is talking with Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) at Crimson and how much she dislikes Willow because of what she has done to Michael. Just then, Michael shows up and tells Jacinda privately, he’s figured out a way to fight Willow. Looks like Jacinda might work with Michael to bring down Willow and use Chase as the person to do it!
At the hospital, Lucas (Van Hansis) tells Josslyn (Eden McCoy) that Carly is cheating on Jack, but he doesn’t know with who. Josslyn suddenly flashes back to the moment she found her mother harboring a fugitive, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), in her attic, and as figured out that her mother is sleeping with him. She heads out.
Courtesy/ABC
BRENNAN IS ABOUT TO LEARN ABOUT CARLY
Next thing you know, Josslyn has showed up inside Jack’s (Chris McKenna) hotel room at the Metro Court and when he enters his room, he is shocked to find her there. He lays into her for not keeping his distance and that Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) will have no problem killing her if he knows she’s WSB. Josslyn fires back that he is only concerned about that because his relationship with her mother depends on her being safe. But then, she lays the boom, and tells Jack, Well, you’re too late. You already lost her.”
LULU GETS A GLIMPSE OF CASSIUS’ TEMPER
In addition, Lulu (Alexa Havins) sees a different side of “Nathan.” Since she is unaware that the man before her is his twin, Cassius Fasion (Ryan Paevey), he tells her that Rocco (Finn Carr) blabbed that he shot Cullum to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), and now he thinks they should send him away to stop him from talking to everyone else. This concerns Lulu, who rails at Nathan for telling her what to do with her son and that she isn’t going to abandon him. With “Nathan’s” outburst at her on the matter, will she finally get a clue this is not the man she thinks it is?
So, what do you think of Michael’s plan to push Willow and Chase into an affair? Will it work or backfire? Do you think Joss will reveal that Valentin is the man sleeping with Carly to Brennan, which will send him in a rage? Will Lulu continue to be clueless about “Nathan?” Weigh-in via the comment section below. But first, take a look at the GH video tease for today’s April 30 episode.
