It’s great that CBS broadcasts the awards. I thought the awards were fast-paced, but needed more star power on stage with the presenters. There were so many extraordinary talents in attendance. I would have liked to have seen Finola, Maura and Cynthia present an award. I saw Gio attending the awards and would have been nice to see him present an award with Joss and Trina. From B&B, Katherine Kelly Lang, Don Diamond and John McCook from Y&R, Tracey Bregman and Peter Bergman. The cameraman didn’t show the stars of DOOL too much, but seeing Robert Scott Wilson and Suzanne Rogers would have been a treat.

Yay Michelle Melody And Ed

So is DOOL being omitted because their on peacock. This is wrong.

Congratulations to Thorsten Kaye. I don’t watch B&B. I’m familiar with him from his other daytime roles. His daughter, McKenna, looks just like her mother, the wonderfully talented Susan Haskell.

I enjoyed the show. Loved the tribute to Melody Thomas Scott and her husband. I wished they’d show more of the actors/actresses in the audience. Everyone looked beautiful and handsome.

Ironic and sad that GH let go of the Emmy winning writing team of Dan and Chris. Who is really writing the show today anyway?

As of now, Elizabeth Korte is the sole head writer. Material with Patrick Mulcahey airs until mid-summer, per press announcements.

What’s “ironic” is that GH won. The show was unwatchable; the never-ending Nina bashing, Willow’s contempt for Nina for literally no reason while she “loved Carly dearly” it was two-years worth of an emotional abuse story of Nina. Then they wrote the back-to-back fatal illness stories; one depressing, tragic, journey after another of someone having to deal with the fact that they’re dying, a journey the viewer had to go on hoping that the character had been misdiagnosed. And let’s not forget Sasha and Brando’s brain dead baby, then Sasha losing Brando. Escapism Gh was not.

As for the new writer Mulcahey? I think they made a big mistake letting him go. Though way too many changes both in characters, and career changes of the characters, attitude toward Sonny was ridiculously all at once and out-of-the-blue, the stories have gotten better, more characters are featured rather than all-Carly-all-the-time, Diane and Alexis got their banter back, Michael Easton FINALLY got to show his acting chops and has a story instead of picking up the pieces of Elizabeth’s life…Cody and Sasha seem to be moving forward, Gregory and Tracy were written beauifully, and chances are we still would have had Gregory the character and the actor if the death squad of Dan and Chris didn’t give him their latest fatal illness.

I didn’t watch the Emmys but I’m shocked that GH won.

I too was shocked at all the GH wins. The pace is slower than a sloth after mating day. Sweep-month excitement over great stories and mini-disastrous drama is now a thing of the past. Great Sweeps months Feb May & Nov are basically non-existent. I cannot even remember what happened in February – in May the only big thing – Gregory died.

The Cody/Mac DNA story has been going on for around 2 years (YES I KNOW MAC HAS BEEN OUT – but it should have been resolved way before that) – it seems any story arc starting today in 2024 the fans will have to expect it not to be resolved for 2 years (that’s 2026/2027)
Life is way too short to wait that long!!! We could all die before GH resolves a storyline these days.

Any couple being introduced takes so long – (the uber-slow burn of Cody and Sasha) which makes the audience lose interest. Brooklyn and Chase are nearly not as exciting today as they would have been a year ago. Many fans stated how bored they were with the nuptials. This has more to do with the back and forth of their 2-3 year relationship than it does with the couple. Those two broke up and got back together like a game of musical chairs.

So fans seem to want Dex to end up as Jason’s son – Jason might be gone in 2 years by the time the writing team gets around to it.

“Make em Wait” the old GH saying for writers – is not working anymore.

The pace is slower than a sloth after mating day.” LOL! Agree with all your points and the hilarious way you put it. I needed that laugh. 😉

Very shocked at the GH writing win. Interestingly, GH has not won in 15 years and the year that was predominantly filled with replacement writers won.

Hmmm – I’d be kind of mad if I was one of those replacement writers not getting an award.

This was from material written last year and non-union writers don’t get nominated for Emmy’s.

Published

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)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

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!

FINOLA HUGHES RETURNS

The final moments of the teaser promo reveal Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France. We have not seen her for months after Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal fed her hallucinogenics to make her believe her arch nemesis, Cesar Faison was alive!

Now, the doctors walk towards her hospital bed, where we see the super spy calmly knitting. Is Anna back to normal and playing everyone to get out of her predicament, or does she still remain deeply traumatized … or both?

Take a look at the rest of the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, JUNE 22
Willow gets an unwelcome surprise. Trina sticks to her guns. “Nathan” wants reassurance. Ethan advises Ava. Brook Lynn receives an update.

TUESDAY, JUNE 23
Dante cautions Liz. Laura learns a secret. Brook Lynn confides in Michael. Sonny challenges Ava. Chase makes a decision.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24
Anna meets with her doctor. Carly makes a stunning confession. Britt extracts a promise. Cullum pulls a fast one. Gio and Emma hit the pool.

THURSDAY, JUNE 25
Josslyn clashes with Cassius. Lulu and Dante make a discovery. Chase receives a warning. Jordan seeks help. Alexis is summoned to the PCPD.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26
Anna takes a huge risk. Britt is in grave danger. Willow is in disbelief. Danny must act fast. Curtis jumps to the wrong conclusion.

Check out the latest General Hospital promo entitled, “Rescue Mission” below.

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

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.
