Tomorrow is a big day for General Hospital! As it nears its 50th Anniversary in April, the show is bringing in the big guns! And perhaps none bigger than soap icon, Genie Francis who returns as Laura on Monday’s episode.

And it looks like it will be old times when the following week on February 19th, fan favorite Kin Shriner returns as Scotty Baldwin.  Just what will happen when long time nemesis’ Luke (Anthony Geary) and Scotty meet up again? What will Laura do?  What has happened to Laura while she was away in Europe?

While we will have to wait for all the answers to unfold over the next few months on General Hospital, EW.com has released some exclusive photos of Genie and Kin’s return and one of GH’s 50th Anniversary logo! 

After you check out the images, let us know what you think is the back-story to explain where Laura has been? What mystery does she bring with her?  Do you think she might have re-married Scotty while she was away from Port Charles? Let us know your thoughts!

Love the logo! Very classy. Can’t wait to see Genie back in PC along with Luke and Scotty and what story has been written for them.
I hope ABC fills the airways with 50th anniversary promos. I’m watching the Valentines’ Day GH marathon on Soapnet right now and they are starting.
We need to build up GH all we can. I could only hope that someday they will take the No. 1 spot from Y & R.

Not!!!!!! LOL

I miss soapnet. comcast cancelled soapnet for preschool programming. Another great move by disney. nightime programming for preschooler who are hopefully asleep.

Although I am a life-long Luke and Laura fan and think it is a travesty that Genie has not been used all these years (JFP)… I hope Laura an Scotty ARE married… oh the storyline, humor, drama…you name it… potential! I cannot wait…

I agree – I am looking forward to a Laura / Scotty pairing and the fallout instead of a Laura / Luke pairing. Genie needs a meaty storyline and with Scotty she could get that!

Ten bucks says Laura and Scotty are married again.

i don’t care what the storyline is, as long as it plays out for years. Welcome back Genie and Kin hope your here for a long time.

Puhlease! TPTB…. Kapish… Comprende…

Adult, simmering, intelligent, simmering, Sensual, simmering…. Top Draw (s)…. Scotty and Laura!

add to that…. Tracy… Monica…

Luke…

Alexis… Diane… Shawn…

Kevin, Lucy, Mac, Felicia, Friscoe

BOBBIE.

Superlative Draw!

Luke’s ANGEL has come home at last!!!!!

Glad to see Luke, Laurie, ans Scotty back. Nice to see the old times return!

I love Entertainment Weekly, I need a subscription since it’s my favorite magazine. I love that they still cover soaps often.

Laura and Luke were good the first couple of years and there after I could take them or leave them, ehh ..
Their wedding made them more recognized then the couple themselves imo..

When it comes to love triangles and their problems or Caleb; I want Caleb 🙂 !!!

ohh well. yah couple fans, rejoice in the domestic plights ! !

CALEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! intrigued

I am not too into Caleb. I have alway’s liked him as John McBain and alway’s
will.

I see GH is going back into the 12980’s. Remember Scotty Baldwin got on the same jet as Laura did when she left for Europe. I hope she and Scotty are married, that way, Luke and Tracy can get back together.

It’s great to see Genie and Kin back on the show!

Monday is FINALLY here. What a great day for all the “newer” members of “the club.” And FINALLY having a fantastic story teller writing this chapter of the LnL story, I for one am beyond excited. TG and GF are so fantastic, they have the ability to tell the story without saying a word…….their looks are great. My only concern is making the reason for Laura staying away from Nicholas, Lucky and Lulu believable. But I have faith in FV and RC. And to all the fans of Luke and Tracy…….you are about to understand why us LnL club members have stayed strong all these years. Is it 2PM yet?

Luke remarried while Laura was away, Laura should too.But married to Scotty or not, its thrilling just to see them back on the show. It just wasnt the same without them. Im curious to know whatever happened to the original Laura played be Stacey Baldwin? I think thats her name. and i know Scotty was originally played by Johnny Whitaker plus a few others before Kin. But Genie and Kin will always be Laura and Scotty to me.

i would like to see laura & scott have married while in paris & maybe even bring a child back with them……………

I can’t wait!!! Looks great! I think she has married Scotty… but I want her back with Luke in the end! Nice to see she is going to see her grandson! Hope to see Lucky and Nicholas back soon! I am sure we will be seeing much more of Helena as she is never done with Laura!

When you “Think Of Laura”, laugh, dont cry, i know she’d want it that way.

Laura deserves so much better than either one. But if she HAS to choose between the two, then it should be Scotty. Luke has become such a complete ego- bloated scuzzball, with all the charm of a guy coming off a three week drunk that all he deserves is a shower, a scrubdown, and a hot meal at the local men’s shelter.
PEEE YEWWW.

Laura and Scotty are Married and either have a child or have adopted a child.

Will Bobbie be coming back for the 50th??….she is Carly’s mom and Luke’s sister and was a big part of the 80s storylines….and Bobbie’s gay son, Lucas (i think was his name)….maybe John Stamos can make a cameo return and get Blackie out of prison…he sure has been there a loooonnnngggg time for daytime…LOL

I never got over Scotty losing Laura. Lucky and Lulu made Luke and Laura bearable for me but I hope Luke and Laura do not get back together.

I don’t matter to me who Laura goes with. Luke has movrd on w/Anna.. Laura needs a new man in her life and a new fresh start.

Scotty is looking goooooood!

Beiring caught up in the whole luke and Laura phase I really hope laura ens up back with Laura because they are the best together

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
