Portia’s brother (Brook Kerr) is making a return to Port Charles and General Hospital! That’s the word from actor Gavin Houston from an interview segment with Augusta, Georgia’s ABC affiliate WJBF.

Houston will reprise his role of Zeke in upcoming episodes of GH, now celebrating its 60th anniversary on the air.

Gavin shared “I’m still on General Hospital actually … I’m coming back for this meaty storyline in like two weeks.”

In addition to GH, Houston has quite the impressive resume as soap fans also remember his work on Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots in the role of Jeffrey. The show ran for 8 seasons ending in 2021. He also portrayed Remy Boudreau on Guiding Light from 2002-2005.

When asked about being part of the GH canvas during its 60th anniversary celebration, Houston shared: ‘It’s such a blessing because I remember being in school and like everybody had like grandmothers or parents, who watch their stories. Growing up, soaps were such a big thing. I’m always grateful.”  He added, “It was great to be a part of that achievement for them.”

Zeke was last on-screen during Portia’s wedding to Curtis, (Donnell Turner) when Houston appeared in episodes from February 7 to the 15th of this year.

Looking forward to seeing Gavin back on your screens on General Hospital? Comment below. But first, check out the chat with the actor with WJBF’s Karlton Clay.

Okay good. One-half of the return we want to see. Now bring back Papa Robinson, and ditch some of the unnecessary staff at General Hospital, and we’ll be on the right track!

I agree!!

Bring back jason.GH alwayd finds a storu line to bring back the ptesumed dead

Jason and Ingo are totally irrelevant and unnecessary. Haven’t missed them for one second. Massive egos no loss.

Steve Burton has always been down to earth and cool with fans

Steve Burton has another job so highly unlikely any time soon

Yes!! I was hoping that they would bring him on in some capacity! Now figure out a way for Dad to come back too! Alexis needs a love life, and if Robert and Diane don’t work out, there could be a little something there too!! Bring on the Robinsons! ❤️

Bring back Steve Burton, the show hasn’t been the same with out him

I totally agree! Bring Steve Burton back!

The show nothing with out Steve Burton. You need to pay him any amount of money. He make the show.I have been looking at General Hospital. For 45 years it’s for boring.

But he signed a contract for Days of Our Lived so… not happening

Days didn’t require the COVID-19 vaccine that he wouldn’t take for GH and that was their reasoning for letting him go

Maybe he could be a love interest for Jordan, Maxie, Elizabeth or Alexas ( age doesn’t seem to matter on GH). Bring Portia’s dad back too.I wish they would get rid of Nina all together. I thought she was an awesome character when Michelle Stafford played her crazy side but now she is just nauseating. I do not want Sonny and Carly back together though. He preaches loyalty and family but that only seems to pertain to others with him. I know a lot of people don’t like the Carly/Drew pairing but I think he is good for her. I wouldn’t have minded them pairing Carly with Brick but once again that would be disloyal to Sonny and he could not have that. Would have been fun though. Please bring back Hayden so Finn can have a real love life, not that wishy, washy crap with Elizabeth. He needs Hayden to give him a spark not to mention she is Violet’s mother and she needs her. They also need to give Brooklyn a storyline where she is not always making bad decisions that keep her under the thumbs of manipulators. Sorry, Tracy that includes you. She just got rid of of that slime ball now Granny wants to have her leak Deceptions secrets. I love the character of Brooklyn, Amanda Setton plays her so well. Her eyes express so much. If they are not going to put her back with Chase then give her another storyline that doesn’t involve someone always using her. Maybe flip her switch and pair her with Kristina.

I enjoyed Gavin on The Haves and Have Nots..Great actor look forward to seeing him GH!

Yes please bring back Gavin Houston and give him a role that shows how talented he is as an actor, thank you.

Looking forward to seeing Portia’s family grow and to see where he ends up in story.

Great To have gavin houston bring Portia sdad 2

I guess Gavin will be Jordan’s love interest. Besides Ava she’s the only one without a man.

If they cut Kin Shriner to bring in another newbie, that is 666% not cool.

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

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.
