Could GH be writing off Rademacher & Marcil Giovinazzo together?

If you picked up the latest edition of Soap Opera Weekly on newsstands now, there is  front page cover image of General Hospital’s Ingo Rademacher and Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo with the words “Bye-Bye!”  on it.

So the question remains, and the speculation begins.  In light of the current storyline where Jax is having huge issue’s with Carly and Brenda is having huge issue’s with Sonny, and both over baby dramas, plus Jax seemingly being the white knight to always come to the aid of Brenda, this scenario does look ripe to precipitate the exit of Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo ( who recently told Access Hollywood, “My time is almost done” referring to her contract with GH) and Ingo!

Add that to the fact, that Rademacher has consistenly been seeing less air time, and this exit strategy or scenario would seem to make sense.

So, if we had to lose both Ingo and Vanessa as contract and/or canvas casualties would you be cool with GH sending them off together? Let us know.

The sooner she is off my screen the better. I can stand the horrible fake crying anymore!!!!

I’m not so sure I would be ok with Ingo (jax) and Vanessa (Brenda) leaving together… but that’s what TPTB will probably do…

He** no!!!I am not okay w/that one little bit. In 2003, when Jax broke off the wedding to Brenda, as far as I’m concerned, Brax ended there. I only see friendship w/Jax and Brenda. Brenda does and always will be totally inlove w/Sonny. If anything I could see Brenda leaving w/her son Alec but not with Jax. However I’m going to stay positive and say that I don’t think VMG is leaving any time soon!!!I don’t even buy what the cover of SOW is saying!!!Until she makes a statement about it, I’m going to stay positive and say that she’s staying for a while or at least until August. If Ingo leaves, it will be from another s/l but he’s getting ready to go into a big custody battle w/Carly so who really knows if he’s leaving!!!

Keep Ingo. Let Brenda go. Guza has turned her into a whiney, neurotic person I don’t even recognize. Makes no sense she instantly fell in love with Lucien and feels nothing for Alex. Could it be he is Jax’s?

hell no!!! Brenda belongs with Sonny, her husband! GH gives us this great wedding finally and the two need to be together! So long Jax, Sorry Ingo!

I don’t know how they could let Brenda & Jax leave together. She came back & said she loved Sonny for all those years & that she could not be without him. They just got married give them time to be happy!! I do not understand the writting latley..

VML has either phoned it in or it’s the writing….totally lame story lines since she came. The Brenda character is totally different and VML does not seem at all invested. Neither does MB. They have little connection or chemistry any longer. What a wasted opportunity.

Absolutely not! Jax deserves a proper send off, but not by walking away with Brenda. The whole Sonny and Brenda storyline has been destroyed by the forced interjection of Jax. None of it is realistic which probably accounts for the loss in ratings.

brenda and sonny will always belong to each other. the writing for this epic couple has sucked almost from day one with a few exceptions like the wedding. to add insult to injury they have messed with brenda’s character making her too weak and childish. now they have continued to destroy their connection by distancing them emotionally from each other every since the wedding! no wonder gh has bad ratings now. gh needs to put this couple back on course asap. leave jax and carly out of it!

I’ve been a fan of the Sonny/Brenda/Jax storyline for years. Yes, I think the writers have clearly showed that Brenda may have an all-consuming love for Sonny it is not practical in reality. They never really can sustain a relationship–love is not enough. Jax, on the other hand, is a man Brenda has also loved but not with the same level of passion. I think Jax and Brenda can have their happily ever after now that she had an opportunity to be with Sonny.

Finally, I think TPTB really see Carly as Sonny’s true love and partner.

That probably be a good exiit. Now that Brenda & Sonny finally married was hoping for a long contact.

NO NO NO would be so mad and upset that I would leave GH!! the love of sonny’s life is brenda; she makes him a better man and she makes him happier than he’s ever been. not sure sonny deserves brenda’s love, but i always wanted to see a s/l evolve where sonny does earn her love, eg. he leaves the mob for her and his children. jax will always be a very dear friend to jax and someone who treated her well HOWEVER he said he didn’t love her. that was a deal breaker and brenda can never forgive him. sonny, on the other hand, for all his flaws has loved brenda all his life. before GH gets canceled i hope and pray vanessa marcil returns to reunite her character brenda back with sonny. that’s the only acceptable ending!

I have and will always hope for Sonny and Brenda to be together. I hate what the writers have done to these two characters, they have really done them an injustice. I don’t blame Vanessa for leaving, she understands that they are completely ruining Sonny and Brenda. Although, I loved the wedding it is obvious that they will run one of the hottest supercouples to ever hit TV into the ground.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)?

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

on

By

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
