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.

However, four of the top award category nominations will be revealed on Thursday, April 18th across four entertainment news programs to kick things off.
Those include this Thursday episodes of Access Hollywood, E! News, Entertainment Tonight and Extra.

As previously announced, the 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be presented in ceremonies on Friday night, June 7th on CBS (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.

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.

Finally! Now could we get Jack Wagner returning to GH? That would be perfect! Even if it would be for a brief visit, I would take it!
This is very good news, indeed!! Bring back Jon Lindstrom, Kin Shriner, Billy Warlock, Stuart Damon, Lindze Letherman, Jacklyn Zeman, Lynn Herring and that will really be the icing on the cake!! 🙂
I agree!!!
If i am not wrong the characters of 3 of those people on your list are dead how would you bring them back on the show.
Has that ever stopped them before?!
My thoughts exactly lipstickcat!!!
could have some heaven scenes! 🙂
I am so excited. Not only for Kristina’s return but now that the new regime’s episodes are in full swing I’m on the edge of my seat everyday. I hate and LOVE the cliffhangers each day and the quick movement is a very nice change. I absolutely can’t wait to watch the next day to find out what happens. NOW THIS IS WHAT SOAPS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT, and what got me hooked 40 years ago.
I feel like its my birthday. Scotty, now Felicia! 🙂
Maybe with my girl Felicia back, we will finally see her and Mac forever??
WELCOME Kristina, Kin, Kassie, Kristin & Todd!!!!!!!
Are Scott & Felicia coming back as long as Robert did?
Woo-hoo! Kristen Storms has to return now!
I just can’t wait! It’s a dream come true! Never thought I would see Felicia again on GH. Now, if Frisco could just follow…
That’s great news….. but sorry to tell, but RavenBeauty spoiled this in early February. Check her column.
Who cares about RavenBeauty. Half of her rumors are false.
LMAO Heather. Isn’t it strange how some people worship Raven like she is some Saint? Cult leader? Half her rumors are false, and usually the other half you can get the information if you search hard enough yourself.
Sure think what you want. Actually go look. It’s all documented.
I’m so glad Felicia’s back now bring back Sean donely
NO Frisco & Felicia are OVER.
I want her with Mac. Teach Alexis a lesson!
That isn’t to say I don’t want Frisco back, because I do.
Reality they both have moved on in the real world, they should as well on the set. jmo
Love that they are bringing so many back… Finola, Tristan, Emma…now Kristina… My only issue is that they never stay (look at Vanessa…) They stick for a few months maybe a year and then they’re gone…no wonder everything has to always revolve around Sonny and Jason…they don’t ever go anywhere. Hopefully the new writers/producer will keep some of them around for a while in addition to utilizing the entire cast more… Now bring back some Q’s!!
