General Hospital fans were in for a shock when on last Friday’s episode, officer Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) took his last breath and went into cardiac arrest and died, just as his girlfriend, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) came to see him.

Meanwhile, Josslyn is overcome with grief, and the young man whom she loved and who made a change in his career from working as Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) henchman to working for the right side of the law, is gone. Sadly, that also put the end to the run of young star, Evan Hofer who for three years played and developed the character of Dex.

As Hofer told Entertainment Weekly upon learning Dex would be written-off in a storyline-dictated move, “I was just dying to hear how the story would go, and getting to put a bookend on it is a really rare thing in any job, to actually get to wrap up a character arc.”

Now, Evan is making a visit to You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel on Wednesday, December 18th beginning at 7pm ET/4pm PT when he chats live on his departure from the ABC daytime drama series. Evan will share what happened during the taping of his final scenes, saying goodbye to his co-stars, what he will miss about playing Dex, his favorite GH moments on and off-screen, and what’s coming up next for his career and his hopes for the future, and much more.

On Monday, Hofer’s romantic scene partner, Eden McCoy, shared her reaction with Soap Opera Digest on Evan’s sudden exit, expressing,”I was really shocked when I found out what was going to happen. They just had so many people dying and I really didn’t expect them to pull this one off right now. It was a lot of shock and obviously there was sadness that he and I weren’t going to work together anymore, and grieving for that era and celebrating that together and just sharing great last moments together on and off screen. I mean, I’m super-excited for Evan in the future and what is to come for him and I’m super-proud of him. I think he’s done an amazing job.”

Speaking on his final confrontation with the character of Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), which puts the criminal at the top of the list of persons of interest as Dex’s killer (although no one in Port Charles had connected the dots yet), Evan shared with US, “He’s (Cyrus) this serial killer and kind of monster of a character. But Jeff is such an incredible man and incredible actor. For those final scenes, I knew I really wanted to bring the heat.”

Be with Evan and Michael in the live chat this Thursday. Additionally, if you have a question or comment you want posed to Evan during the broadcast, but cannot be with us live, please drop it in the comment section of this post. So, how are we feeling about Evan Hofer being killed-off as Dex Heller? Weigh-in below.

Looking for to this.

I love dex he was my favorite on gh

Would you go back to GH if they changed their minds and bring Dex back?

I’m all for GH bringing back Dex & Sam too.

I don’t like it Dex killed off the show

Very disappointed that Dex was killed off. There was great potential in his backstory, parents, etc.

Right now GH is telling stories that are bombing, I’m a diehard fan and right now I’m so disappointed in this show with almost all their storylines, that’s a first for me, I’ve been watching the show forever and never have I been so turned off, and that’s saying a lot I mean I thought Ron C run as headwriter was horrible but I can’t believe the crap that Chris and Elisabeth the shows head writers are putting out, its so dark and negative to sleazy and almost mean spirited.

You seem to have such a loyal and dedicated fanbase. Is there a specific time that they completely surprised you with a gift or at a fan encounter?

You seem to have such a loyal and dedicated fanbase. Does it ever still surprise you after almost 3 years with the amount of love and support they give to you either through a special gift, during fan events, and on social media?

It hasn’t even been a week and miss Dex terribly already

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?

Published

on

By

Jason and Britt

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.

If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.

Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.

One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired

Published

Finola Hughes

The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.

Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.

Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET

Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.

Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT

At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.

Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.

The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.

So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
