GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Has a Feeling She Has ‘A Daughter Out There’
The latest promo for this week’s episodes of General Hospital has been released and from the looks of it – and a key episode set to air on Wednesday April 8th – the mystery surrounding if Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) biological daughter is alive, and if so who is it, looks to be kicking into high gear.
There is that necklace that Nina is looking at in the promo, Nelle (Chloe Lanier) who seemingly now is being given an opportunity to work with Nina thus getting closer to her who notices the necklace, and then there is Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), who many have thought could actually be Nina’s daughter given their original tense relationship.
And coming up on Wednesday, look for a special episode where the show looks at Carly’s (Laura Wright) past with her adoptive parents Frank and Virginia Benson before she came to Port Charles in 1996.
Look for Eden McCoy (Josslyn) to play a young Carly, Cynthia Watros to play Virginia, James Patrick Stuart to play Valentin, and Willa Rose to play a young Nelle. What will we learn from that episode?
Now below watch the latest teaser from GH, and let us know if you think Nina will finally figure out who her real bio-daughter is via the comment section below.

Happy 57th Anniversary Today to General Hospital
ABC’s daytime drama, General Hospital turns 57 today, and remains the current longest-running soap opera on the air. GH debuted back on April 1, 1963.
The show was created by the husband-and-wife team of Frank and Doris Hursley. Originally, the soap was not given a name of a particular town in which the drama of the hospital was set in. However, that all changed in the 1970’s when GH was set in Port Charles.
GH expanded from a 30-minute show to a 45-minute show on July 26, 1976 and eventually went to a full-hour where it has remained back on January 16, 1978.
Throughout its decades on the air, GH was the impetus for two spin-offs; Port Charles, (which aired from 1997-2003) and primetime’s GH: Night Shift (2007-2008),
The show went through many ups and downs over its history, but things changed dramatically for the better, when by the end of the 1970’s and facing cancellation, ABC brought in executive producer, Gloria Monty to steer the ship. Monty created supercouple Luke and Laura played by Tony Geary and Genie Francis, and opened the show up with exciting location shoots, and from then on GH has remained a firm mainstay in the daytime line-up.
Today, Frank Valentini is the series executive producer, and the soap is co-written by the head writing team of Dan O’Connor and Chris Van Etten.
As 80%, as of now, in the US are reported to be homebound due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the latest ratings for the week of March 23, 2020, GH drew 2.57 million viewers,- its strongest week since March 19, 2018. So, more eyeballs are tuning-in to the drama in Port Charles.

well, the aged Josslyn..brought in playmate for TJ and Molly..
I hope the snooze dual don’t go the way of teenagers, teenasgers don’t watch soaps lol and grownups usually don’t like teens upfront.
Ha! I agree — not into Teenage stories. I can handle bits of Spencer but no romances with Emma or tween love affairs for me.
TJ and Molly are in college now, hardly teenagers anymore
First & second year college students are still teenagers.
College students are young adults, high school are teenagers in terms of soap stories; so Joss who is preteen or early teen will not be hanging out with college students which was suoo comments. IYes, technically eighteen and nineteen has the world teen in it, but soaps treat college age characters as adults.
I’ve been watching soaps as a teen and I’m only 25 now. It would depend if teen-centric stories are compellingly relevant the way other soaps have done everywhere else: Boys Over Flowers, Hollyoaks, Neighbours, and so on and so forth.
Congrats on your new job! Good luck and have fun!
Where is Kristina…seen her once and she disappeared…Josslyn will be involved with little Jake who will make a hostile takeover for her Children Of The Corn organization…lol…this show doesnt really do well when writing for children so ill wait and see what they do with her character!
Jimh, hi
hmm ”Children Of The Corn ” , now that would be a fun watch lol. but-
J&S will have kissing, and more kissing after a long conversation.
NO, Children of the corn stuff 🙁 🙁
i was jokingly refering to that…Josslyn used to talk about Children Of The Corn.and once worn a corn costume..lol
Have they sorased Spencer??? surely this older actress won’t be a ten year olds love interest..how creepy
did they age her…in the picture she still looks ten to me..lol
She is now a teen ager as is the actress. .how in earth can they justify this. .Spencer and the portrayer are 10 years old add is emma..
she does look a little older when i watched today…i dont know why they would do that but ive seen some weird casting with no regard to age…on Edge Of Night 40something Nicole was suddenly 20something when they recast…on Days Will was born before his stepdad EJ who suddenly was older…they dont do this on my favorite British soap Coranation Street..their children age normally like in real life, and their stories are more like real life too…wish our soaps were like that.
No aging Spencer! The kid is too talented.
Lol….how exciting, jimh! With their blond tresses and oh-so-light complexion, they do look the part.
oops I just posted about the Children of the Corn before seeing your post Jim! Lol!!
that happens…sometimes when we are writing our comments others might be posting around the same time and not shown yet!
or great minds think alike 🙂
I’m hoping this means her father will be coming back as well!! We need Jasper Jacks back(Ingo)!!!
I don’t know Jax, Robin. But, I’ve heard so much about him, I feel as if I do. I think it would be very appetizing if he did come back to PC and create some sort of devilish stir between Carly and Sonny. I would enjoy eating up that mess. Perhaps Jax will declare his undying love for Carly, sending Sonny into a fit of sputtering, stuttering and lisping galore.
Hey CeeCee ….
what you missed!
Just to make you feel the loss!… lol

@su.
Wow, susu. He went through all that and he’s still alive?
Thanks for the back history. Is he a good guy, now? And, Carly trusts their daughter with him? Not surprised. LOL.
CeeCee,,
that was the good ol’ days !!! GH ROCKED! never a dull moment.
Ingo/Jax was a golden character!
and the most handsome man on GH .. check his facebook 🙂
What about the kid romance with Josslyn and Cameron? Is he being aged as well? But then again, Spencer would definitely go for an older girl 😉
Is she and we now supposed to believe she babysits spencer and cameron and emma…oh the inhumanity…lol
They should’ve saved her for the Spencer/Emma age group. Total mistake in casting/aging this character.
They didn’t age her enough,she looks to be around 13,still to young to hang out with Molly and TJ.
It’s ridiculous considering that little Jake’s supposed death helped to save a younger Josslyn. This was even talked about a couple months back when little Jake came back. So now they have to go and f*** that up.
Here’s an idea…bring back Monica and have her file a civil lawsuit against Sonny for him being responsible for A.J.’s death. I’d like to see her go after him financially in every way possible and allow the courts to go through all of his business dealings. That would at least be a start to dismantling his little empire. After all, Monica has lost the most (Alan, Emily, AJ, Jason) due to Sonny’s association with the mob. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out what could make a good story and it doesn’t have to resort to soras’ing a bunch of kids.
Good point about Jake’s supposed death helping to save Josslyn. If not him, who and why?
Love the idea of Monica filing a suit against Sonny. Who would be her lawyer…Alexis or Diane? She’d probably have to find another lawyer with no conflict of interests…maybe..since this is a soap. I guess her Judge boyfriend wouldn’t be able to sit on the bench to hear this case, but he could provide great legal advice during pillow talk.
That works for me, Liam.
Why do the fans have to do all the work? The writers could come up with these ideas on their own. LOL.
Monica suing Sonny is actually a wonderful idea and would bring back the heart of this show. The Sonny propping for this little weasel is so awful and not interesting. Time to make a man out of Sonny once and for all! I love your idea!
That’s a great idea Liam. Monica needs justice in some way, so hitting him in the pocket will suffice, until someone kills him.
IF, Monica filing a suit against Sonny all the skeletons would come out of the closet.
AJ, was bad person. He shot his father in the back lol
And– AJ was choking Ava with intent to kill her!
Sonny had a bipolar moment, and AJ choking/strangling Ava was not cool lol ..
remember; we knew AJ did not kill Connie, Sonny did not know, he was told AJ killed Connie/Kelly.. yah Sonny lost it taking care of business on man who how killed his love his wife to be..
Ava, AJ and Sonny are even up, all are killers.. killers killing killers- even up!
Good idea, Liam. This might get me watching GH again. This is week six without watching GH.
So far we’ve seen more than a little rebellion and independence from Josslyn, and not much parenting on Carly’s part. So if Jax didn’t work wonders with her during the summer (and he wasn’t successful with Carly in the past), she just might give Morgan a run for his money in acting out. Wish they would bring Jax back. He could help the Q’s take back ELQ from Nik.
I’m glad they recast the role. No offense to Hannah, but I couldn’t stand the 2014-2015 Josslyn. She used to be so nice to Franco and he was trying his best to be the best role model to her and all she wanted to do was to get rid of him just because he had a brian tumor that made him do horrible acts, acts he now regrets. I reallly hope they decide to redemm the character with this new Josslyn.
Well, seeing that HN’s Joss was my favorite kiddo on this show, I’m none too thrilled….she just had that perfect “Bad Seed” attitude down pat…I guess with spooky “Little Jake” back, her prickly, persnickety personality was no longer as essential. Still, the fact that Joss is Carly’s offspring will mean that she’ll never be a proper miss, rather a real handful no matter the actress portraying her.
Ugh, Nice to have her; afraid of the Age Progression!!
I hope They remember that WE Remember!!
J.S.
With the age progression, what group is she supposed to fit in with? She’s too young for TJ/Molly and too old for Spencer/Cam/Emma. I don’t see much of a s/l for this character.
They are going to need to make Cam the same age IMO. Isn’t Joss the same age as Little Jake though? Oh they kinda messed up by bringing him back on the show.
I dont know if she can act or not BUT she could sure pass for Carly and Jax’s daughter! Good luck honey.
At least this one doesn’t look like she crawled out from Children of the Corn. Last two Josselyn’s were creeeeeepy!!!
I just hope this girl isn’t taller than the other kids. The former Joss was so tall she looked like a pre-teen standing next to Emma and Spencer. This girl is cuter, and you need that for a serious rival for Emma.
So now Joss is older than Cam,Emma,Jake and Spencer,but still younger than Molly and TJ?
1. she’s a cutie patootie ??? !!!! when you look at her…. (eyes)
“don’t” you just see Ingo Rademacher ? ! ? !
like Lauren Boles : ex- Ciara Alice Brady, Days
like Hanna Nordberg : ex-Josslyn Jacks, GH
my two little 1/2 pints… I just adored these fiesty minds of their own… gals
if you ask me… watching Hanna Nordberg… as a younger version of Carly is…now was
i wish this nuJosslyn all the best
People need to stop bashing the teen scene.
Teen cast in the background set up the show for 15 years for the future. If we didn’t have a teen scene in the past there would be NO show right now. Think about it all the current front burners are from the teen scen 15 to 20 years ago Nik, , Liz and Jason. Dillion Maxie and luLu. And going way back it was a teen love triangles that saved the show Scotty, like and Laura. Now I get that u don’t want them front and center all the time but we do need to build then up some what so you can care for them in the future imagine if they never show Robin as a kid and all the sudden they had a character show up playing her would you care as much about her without seeing her grow up on the show?
