General Hospital
Devon Ogden Shares, “I Loved Joining the Cast of General Hospital, Catch My Scenes This Week”
This week on ABC’s General Hospital, Finn (Michael Easton) is drinking again and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) seems to possibly catch him with someone else in the latest promo for the series.
Now comes word that Devon Ogden, who previously appeared on the ABC’s country music soap, Nashville, the smash hit drama, This Is Us and BET+’s Sistas, will play the the short-term role of Barb in scenes opposite Michael Easton’s Finn.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Devon announced the news herself, saying “Back on the screen. I loved joining the cast of General Hospital. Catch my scenes this week.”

When not acting, Ogden is a luxury real estate agent based in Los Angeles. Soap Opera Digest revealed that Barb and Finn will definitely be in each other orbit. Is Barb the potential one-night stand for Finn further putting distance or breaking up he and Elizabeth once and for all?
Share your theories via the comment section below. Now check out the teaser from GH for the action in Port Charles for the week of June 3-7.
Whatever gets Elizabeth away from Finn for good works for me. Pair her with John/Jagger or anyone more dynamic.
I don’t mind Elizabeth and Finn together as much as some people, but I love the idea of her and Jagger together. I think they could be an interesting couple.
I feel the same but my sympathy lies with Finn. He needs to get away from the boring, condescending, patronizing, judgmental, cold fish aka
Elizabeth. She gave him about as much compassion on the loss of his father as one would give a flea. Yet she had the nerve to accuse him of overstepping her “boundaries” when she stalked herself, burned down Franco’s studio, clobbered Chase over the head, while Finn never once judged her or was harsh with her, but slept on her couch to offer protection and took care of her boys when she committed herself. Ugh; he can do so much better…I’m hoping Michael Easton isn’t leaving and they give him a loving relationship. I’d actually love to see him back with Alexis; they have actual chemistry and get each other. It’s not the one-way street it always is with Liz.
Agree, wholeheartedly!
Thanks Violet. 😉 I honestly don’t know how anyone could prefer Liz over Finn. He’s the epitome of goodness, of compassion, and he’s stood by her side through every trauma, from her grief over Franco, to her breakdown, to her feelings about seeing her parents, and all she’s done is pushed him away. And now when he needs her most, she’s clutching her pearls while giving that Liz scowl, and ordering, not gently suggesting, but ordering him to get to a meeting, and then completely ignores his grief & goes straight to “Violet just lost her grandfather.”
I liked Liz back in the day; haven’t really liked her much in years. I’d hate to see her leave just because I’m used to her being there, like a comfy couch that doesn’t add much to the scene but adds a sense of familiarity. We’re losing too many vets so I like her presence, I just don’t like her. lol
U cant forget she even killed his wife. Yeah, fin’s wife, she killed her when she was little.
Elizabeth did not kill Reiko. She did push her causing injury, but Reiko died from the disease Finn was unable to save her from.
She didn’t kill her directly, nor would she ever mean to, but wound up needing a blood transfusion which is how they said the got Blackwoods Syndrom which she died from.
Ugh; can’t edit here. Reiko needed a blood transfusion from the injuries she sustained when Liz pushed her down the stairs, which is how Reiko contracted the disease that killed her.
That whole storyline sucked and should have gotten the writers fired. After all that Liz went through, it was all to boost the Finn character and destroy Jeff Webber. If I remeber right she had repressed memory of finding Finn’s wife in bed with her dad, they argue and she falls down a flight of stairs. It happened when Liz was like 15yrs old. Her mother did something to make her forget the incident happened, then they send her off to live with Audry, while they run off to wherever and abandoned their daughter. How much older is Finn and his wife if she was cheating on him with Liz’s dad when she was 15. Plus Finn could also have fathered Chase after his one night stand with his dad’s wife. You want to blame someone for that convoluted story, blame Frank and the writers.
Becky did a great job with the poorly written material, but she deserves better than being Finn’s sidekick.
I didn’t say anything about Rebecca Herbst as an actress; my comments are about LIZ. And everything we talk about in reference to stories and characters is of course attributed to the writers whether we like or don’t like the character and/or a story since it’s all a creation of the writers minds! And what I said was Finn stood by her through it all; so whether you think the story was convoluted or not, it doesn’t change the fact that Finn, as a character, is a very good man. He’s a good soul. He’s attentive, loving, and supportive. And she’s not. She’s judgmental. She has conditions all the time. There is no excuse for her lack of compassion, her lack of barely any emotion at Gregory’s death, nor her lack of love & support toward Finn at the loss of his father. He wasn’t even drunk when she walked in. He wasn’t out of control. The “normal” reaction was the one Alexis, Chase, and Brook Lynn gave. Support, sympathy, love, and shared grief. Liz’s reaction was as I said, judgmental, as if she was saving Violet from an abusive father who she must take from him, on the heels of his father’s death. It was vile.
As I said, I haven’t liked Liz in years. I find her to be boring. She was boring with AJ, boring with Franco, and now boring with Finn. I know that fans of certain characters who don’t like how the character is being written or think the actor is being attacked, like to use that phrase, “propped up for.” No; Liz’s story was not to “prop up” Finn. It was just the story. And Finn, didn’t cross her “boundaries” as all the Liz fans claimed incessantly on X aka Twitter. He was a loving, attentive, man concerned for the woman he loved. She was scared, she was being stalked, her life could have been in danger and the lives of her sons. In real life, if a person in a relationship with someone who was going through all of what Liz was going through just stepped away or didn’t care, he or she wouldn’t be worth the time of day. But instead, all the “I am woman” viewers were like, “how ‘dare’ Finn help her. How “dare” he not respect her boundaries.” It was annoying and hilarious to read.
I don’t care about the Liz stalking herself story; I almost forgot it. Was it riveting or compelling? No; it sucked. But a lot of the stories do which is why the search for new writers seems endless. What I DO know is that Liz is never portrayed as a loving romantic partner; not like Willow for Michael or Nina for Sonny or Brook Lynn for Chase or Sasha for Brando, Sam for Dante, Portia for Curtis, Molly for TJ, even Blaze for Kristina, etc. Those couples flirt, they admire each other, they confide in each other, support each other. Liz reminds me more of Joss in relationships; she gives ultimatums. The man has to walk on eggshells or they’re out. Joss wasn’t there for Cam when Franco died; she was too busy telling him he better not blame Jason or he could see himself to the door. And Liz? She was too busy ordering Finn to get to a meeting without stopping to show an iota of love and compassion for the devastation he felt over the loss of his father. And then Finn apologized to her! That was the epitome of “are you freaking kidding me?” that I felt toward the writers. It was like hearing Nina apologize to Carly for the 1000th time and Carly rolling her eyes as if to say, “You again? Yes; I know you were wrong. I’m never wrong. We know that. Now run along…”
Why not Jack Brennan, He’s Dynamic
Jack seems to be earmarked for Carly. Run Jack, while you can.
I think no one had better chemistry with Finn than Hayden. I wish GH could/would bring Hayden back.
Finn and Elizabeth together is like watching paint dry.
Everyone will hate me for this, but that’s how I feel about Chase and Brooklyn. I like each one separately, but not together. I see no fire, not even a spark, sorry, guys.
I agree 100%
What happened with the eccentric guy who when he arrived at GH Finn was accompanied by his bearded dragon service lizard, Roxy? This is not a guy to run around and have affairs.
Totally out of character – but whatever breaks Finn and Liz up I guess.
I feel like Finn and Elizabeth fit. Both boring on the personality side of things. Being safe all the time, considering everyone else over them as a couple. Needs to be switched up or spunked up. And what is it with all this facel hair on these men, they look so old with the stables. It’s like the forgot how to shave. And Ava needs to come clean with sunny about meds. Hasn’t she learned anything from Nina. Been a fan of GH 50 years
I read some nasty comments about Elizabeth and you people saying it couldn’t be more wrong. She went there as soon as possible and she was thinking about Violet as well. He was so cruel to her, it put me in shock. Anyone who would tap a tree for syrup (new aphrodisiac?) as foreplay really has a good and patient heart. Elizabeth is one of the most sympathetic, empathetic person on the show. Finn got rid of her like nothing, she was willing to help and would have been there for him. She needs someone who will make her feel alive and bring out that side of her. I love the actor, but let Finn go, Liz. He wanted her, he got her and trashed her. I feel bad for his loss and even relapsing but she deserves a flirtatious, steamy man.
You did very well as I was not fond of you after Elizabeth burst in.. your words were very mean spirited.. so great acting in the role. Love to see you on again. Lol
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
