GENERAL HOSPITAL: A Killer Can’t See & Maxie and Nina Visit Nathan’s Grave
On Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital, a now blind Ryan is freaking out, because as he is in the hospital (while Finn tries to figure out if the same virus that caused Anna’s temporary blindness caused his), he learns that Lulu is in surgery and still fighting for her life. If she lives, she will name him as the culprit who stabbed her.
When Anna and Finn visit “Kevin”, Anna asks him if he ever worked for the WSB or DVX. “Kevin” claims he did not. Anna believes all of this is the handy work of a doctor who worked for the international spy rings. Finn asks if “Kevin” had been in contact with something that wasn’t his recently, and it is then Ryan flashes to Lulu’s license, realizing he needs to find it and its in his coat pocket.
“Kevin” gets rid of Ava from his room, and attempts to get out of bed to get to his coat and locate Lulu’s driver’s license. However, since he cannot see, the license goes under the hospital bed, and just as he is trying to grab it, Ava walks back in the room.
Meanwhile at GH. Jordan explains to Laura that the police found a bloody footprint going in the opposite direction from Lulu. Valentin and Nina tell Charlotte that Lulu is in the hospital, and the little girl insists they go to her now. Charlotte leaves with Valentin, Nina stays behind.
Elsewhere, Jason is underground trapped in some kind of built out setting to probably nefarious crimes. When Sam goes for help, the fire department shows up. Sam calls her pal Spinelli! She asks him to check the maps of pipes and tunnels under the city. Spinelli reveals that the water system leads out to the harbor at Pier 55. Jason also finds a small space that he is hoping to swim through to get to the other side of the pier.
Then, in touching scenes, Maxie goes to Nathan’s gravesite and reveals to her beloved late husband that she is getting closer to his brother, Peter. She also admits she is scared to start a relationship with him. She asks for a sign from Nathan if it is OK. As she cries, Peter shows up with a handkerchief to wipe Maxie’s tears. She admits she doesn’t know how to let go of Nathan and move on. Peter assures her that Nathan will let her know when it’s time.
Later, Nina shows up and tells the duo about Lulu. They had to GH where Peter is then in question for the crime; being the last person they can substantiate that spoke to Lulu before she was stabbed. Jordan also reveals to Laura that Lulu’s license is missing from her belongings.
Back at Nathan’s grave, a grieving sister, Nina, shares heartfelt moments with her late brother, missing him, and filling him on the latest in her life and Maxie’s. One again, Michelle Stafford delivered in these scenes.
Finn shows up with results for “Kevin”. He tells him the tests shows he has the same virus as Anna and he will need surgery to correct his sudden loss of his eyesight. Finn also tells “Kevin” this good news: Lulu made it through surgery and will make a full recovery. Ryan is in trouble and he knows it.
At the end of the episode as Sam makes it over to Pier 55, she spots Jason’s body in the water and jumps in to save him. We fade to black.
Now, check out the emotional scenes performed by Kirsten Storms and Michelle Stafford below. Then, let us know, do you think Maxie and Peter should move forward with their relationship? How can Ryan get out of the predicament he finds himself in now? Will Lulu come to and identify “Kevin” as her assailant ? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

I haven’t watched; however, I read online that the scenes were once again ruined, by propping up “the boyfriend.” Add Peter to Ryan’s list.
@DMR….Spoilers and recaps really are our friends!!! They save us countless time and aggravation by providing DEWS as to whom and what we don’t care to watch…which is sadly pretty much of anything and anyone on GH these days—-with rare exceptions, of course! As for adding Peter to Ryan’s “list?” Oh, yes, yes. PLEASE…along with so many other annoying Port Charles denizens, like Nina, Alexis, Lucy, Aunt Stella, Amy, et al….Let Ryan go out in a blaze of serial killing glory, and take with him as much GH deadweight as possible!!!
Agreed, Shay. It’s sad, because when I watch old episodes (80’s or 90’s), the show was so great. Nowadays, it’s unwatchable.
Oh, I hear you, DMR! Initially, I thought that maybe I was just thinking back to the GH glory days through rose-colored memories….like everyone sometimes does when they recall certain real-life aspects of the past…and that my recollections were simply overrated. But then, I began watching some of the truly iconic characters and their impressive storylines of the ‘80’s, like Laura’s return from the dead, Frisco’s debut and yes, Luke and Laura’s wedding, and you know what? They all stood the test of time and still gave me goosebumps…WE are not wrong in our contentions that the show WAS so great…and even though we obviously enjoyed it immeasurably the first time around, I believe we now have an ever-increasing appreciation for the classic GH that we knew and loved back in the day, particularly compared to its currently dismal modern state.
YES, Shay! Well-said. & I loved Laura’s return back in the early 80’s!!! #classicgh & I loved Frisco & Felicia!!
Yes, I like peter and maxie a couple
So do I. A lot.
Me too! Just can’t understand the intense dislike of Peter by some unless it’s because he’s Laura’s boyfriend, they think he’s getting special treatment because of this, and add this to the fact many can’t stand Carly.
Wednesday episode was exciting the only thing that ruined the whole episode was Jason and sam, these two are so boring everthing about them bores me to no end.
I just cannot invest in any of the story lines that feature Peter. I’ve got nothing against the actor at all. It’s the fact that his character was introduced under a very specific set of circumstances and with a clear personality profile. He was not a “good guy”. Since then the writers have exhausted themselves trying to re-write and redeem him, using every trick in their apparently limited book. It’s exactly the same trajectory they have taken with Valentin, Julian and Franco. It’s as if they think we are not paying attention and they can play fast and loose with these characters. If the writers were really sharp they would make the character of Shiloh 100% sincere, and not take him down the cartoon rabbit hole for which he is heading. How refreshing would it be for viewers to have the usual sanctimonious favorite characters be proven wrong and maybe even learn something about themselves? Yet, every time I read quotes from Shelly Altman she seems so self-satisfied and promises so much more than she is capable of delivering. While there are a lot of good things to appreciate about the show (most certainly the acting), overall I find it frustrating and unsatisfying. Don’t misunderstand – I love GH and it is “my show”, but I think it’s we loyal, long-term fans who are the most ill-served. I want the show to thrive and continue, but these writers, especially Shelly Altman, are just not cutting it. Long live GH!
Maxie and Peter=predictable…Sam and Jason are only good together when my sleeping pill isnt working=terrible acting and as boring as ever…likes Sam better with Drew…im all for the Qs but Jason hasnt felt like one since he fell in love with Sonny!!!
I’m laughing so hard! YES!
Hahahaha..if Sonny would only make a move so they could both dump Carly.
These shows just simply cannot seem to move forward in relevancy. Put them back on radio. An AM channel at that.
But Dave, if they put GH on the radio, I will no longer be able to use the closed captions when Sam speaks.
Lol. I guess they could employ some sort of tap code for captions. It couldn’t be anymore time consuming or confusing than the -“why did i just lose an hour for that”?- time already spent On a daily basis.lol.
You know what would be even better and still give you your captions Harry? Broadcast it daily in the style of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Oh i wish, i wish,i wish. It would be hilarious.
I am all for Peter and Maxie, that is until Nathan comes back, which I have read rumours of.
YEP = sans Lulu… Jon Lindstrom ‘ Ryan really came on strong with the chill
his speech “telling” lulu the truth is standing right in front of you… with a bit more daring research… after he tells her their were two more victims that never came to light… and he just put one step forward and never let up
it’s aching to watch him with Ava… knowing she doesn’t even have a clue what she’s dealing with.. because it’s so much fun watching Jon/Kevin/Ryan machinations with any one.. and the tantalize of watching the dreamy “Jon” Kevin/Ryan with Ava.. is so real enough that its going to be a fallout… and go back to the staid missionary hot chocolate innocence. effin what ? blech
A fire has been lit searing tantalize @Shelly and Chris you can’t back down from the quality you have at your disposal… yeah.. disposal of a gifted cast left for dead because you can’t even write all your stories because you are limited with the dullard
you cannot ring up an effin thing using the same cast over and over and over: they are not gifted enough.. after all this effin time.. they are BORING
Sonny and Carly ; Jason and Sam ; Michael / Finn / Franco / Peter have run their course
Frank Valentini MUST be fired
Laura Wright
Maurice Benard
Wes Ramsey are not deserving of the pre-nom emmy
Please, no more scenes which involve people talking to gravestones. Those scenes are deadly boring. Jon Lindstrom is positively chilling playing Ryan pretending to be Kevin. He has more than made up for the holes in the writing. That said, I am still beyond irritated that the writers went out of their way to not involve Felicia and Mac in the “Ryan Returns!” story. Ryan was always obsessed with Felicia (she was his muse)and he hated Mac with a passion–he had some unfinished business with the both of them. But for some inexplicable, out-of-character reason, Ryan orbits around Frank’s pets–Ava, Sonny and Carly, all of whom have nothing to do with Ryan’s back story. Indeed. When Lucy was reading from her “Port Charles Tales” at her book launch party we should have been treated to Ryan’s reaction. Now that would have been interesting. Instead, he’s sequestered in his office administering therapy to Sonny and Carly which invariably leads to Sonny going back to Morgan’s grave to mumble some more. I suppose Lucy’s book was a way to appease fans who wanted a character driven story but instead we were force fed more Ava, Sonny and Carly. It’s a case of Frank throwing crumbs at the long time viewers.
More holes:1. After Lulu is almost murdered by the serial killer, the police do not station an armed guard outside her hospital room. Surely the police commissioner and Lulu’s mother (who happens to be the mayor) would be worried that the serial killer would come back to finish the job before she could identify her attacker. 2. Maxie is all gleeful when Peter is released from the police station. Lulu is her best friend and she doesn’t once ask how Lulu, who was nearly killed, is doing. She just wants to spend time with Peter. This is another mistake. 3. Robert comes to town and one would think he’d be by his old friend Laura’s side giving her comfort at Lulu’s bedside. Instead, we have Sonny giving her comfort. Why are Sonny and Carly suddenly Laura’s best friends? 4. No one has once mentioned Luke or Lucky. Wouldn’t someone mention trying to contact them in order to let them know their daughter/sister was viciously attacked and hovering on the threshold of death?
Thank you, Harry!!! You have made so many salient points here regarding the numerous shortcomings of the current Ryan/Kevin storyline. It were as if the history of these legacy characters never happened in the first place…God forbid GH show some fealty to the events and people who were actually involved in the original tale of these twin brothers’ mirth, merriment and murder! It’s simply not logical…and totally expected given the present regime’s main objective to very obviously highlight the usual suspect Frankenpets at any cost! Having said that, the most egregious oversight in this storyline was not having Robert there for Laura in her hour of need….that’s simply unthinkable for the loyal Scorpio! As for Lucy and her trashy book, the less said, the better! I cannot stand that woman and her self-centered bluster….it’s always, always about her…no matter what!
General Hospital
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.
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.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

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