GENERAL HOSPITAL: Alexis Learns The Truth, Finn Is Reeling, Mike is Too Hard To Handle, Julian Sets A Trap

On Thanksgiving day, General Hospital aired a brand new episode … and it was chocked-full of cliffhangers that will have fans waiting on the edge of their seats till next Monday, when the next new installment of the ABC daytime drama series airs.
In story, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) who is now uber-suspicious of Kendra (Michelle Argyris), receives a visit from her as she is preparing to leave GH and go home after being poisoned. Kendra offers to bring Alexis more supplements, but Alexis tell her she will contact the distributor herself. Kendra says the distributor only speaks Italian, and Alexis counters that she also speaks Italian. At that point, Kendra’s plan may have gone up in smoke. Later, Alexis has checked out of the hospital on her own. Neil (Joe Flanigan) is concerned for her, and bumps into Julian (Willam deVry) and it is Julian who says he saw Kendra with the supplement jar retrieving it from the garbage. The two men look concerned.
Next, we see Kendra visiting her brother, Kiefer’s grave where she places flowers on it, and tells him she promises to make Alexis pay for killing him. However, Alexis has followed her to the gravesite. Once Kendra walks away, Alexis goes to the grave, lifts up the flowers and is shocked when she sees Kiefer’s name on the headstone. Then from behind, Kendra smashes Alexis in the head with a rock.

Julian is ready to snuff Brad (Parry Shen) out of his and his son, Lucas’ (Ryan Carnes) life once and for all, and he cuts a wire in Brad’s car. Problem is, everyone assumed Lucas would be working on Thanksgiving at the hospital. So first, Brad lets Michael (Chad Duelle) take Wiley to the Corinthos family Thanksgiving, and tells Michael he does not want to attend, because of Carly (Laura Wright) and the family’s issue with him visiting Nelle (Chloe Lanier) in prison. Next, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) tells Lucas to go home – that she got his shift covered by Terry. Lucas goes home to confront Brad. He tells his husband, to please tell him what he is keeping from him.

At the Corinthos home, Mike (Max Gail) comes to Thanksgiving dinner from Turning Woods. When he comes inside he is confused, wondering when his own parents are coming. Carly tells him that his parents left him with them to take care of him for Thanksgiving. Later, Mike is holding baby Donna, which scares Michael, Carly and Sonny (Maurice Benard). When Carly is able to get the baby in to her hands, Mike loses his temper and gets upset and pushes Sonny right into the Thanksgiving food, which falls to the floor. Sonny can’t seem to calm Mike down and tells Carly he needs to take his father back to Turning Woods where they can take care of him. Sonny is devastated.

At Anna’s (Finola Hughes), Finn (Michael Easton) comes upon the letter Hayden wrote for him, when Violet asks for her doll, which is inside her bag. Alone, Finn opens the letter and is heartbroken, and shook, when he reads that Hayden is in serious trouble and had to leave town to protect Violet. She tells Finn she knows he will take good care of their daughter. Finn is reduced to tears, trying to cope with what is in front of him.
So, what did you think of these four cliffhangers? What do you think will happen with Brad, Lucas and the car that Julian tampered with? Will this be the end of Mike as his condition continues to spiral downward? Will Neil or Julian save Alexis from Kendra? What will Finn’s next move be? Will he tell Violet that her mother is gone?

And yet the baby switch story is still going just like I had hoped for back when it began. The show does have alot of interesting things going for it in my opinion.
Alexis is an idiot to have followed Kendra alone. She makes the most idiotic choices for a smart woman. She has no common sense. I am very disappointed that Julian is going to the dark side. I don’t want him with Alexis but I want him to be the good man he was with Kim.
In all the episodes that Alexis was in the hospital, we didn’t get one scene of Kristina or Molly checking in on her? Neil, Julian, TJ, Monica (and Kendra) all did. This is one mini-storyline they should wrap up quickly.
The old Julian has returned. Something tells me he’s not going to get the result he initially intended.
Mark Teschner continues to find amazing children. Baby Donna’s smiling was so sweet. Wiley is adorable. Aiden, Charlotte (and now Violet) exhibit good acting skills at very young ages.

The children have more talented than some of the adults. Violet is a sweetheart.
Steve. You forgot one of the cutest, Avery.

Aiden, Charlotte and Violet are all gems and could have an amazing future in acting. Good job GH!
Molly was at the hospital and is who brought her to the hospital Chrissy was there looking for her when she’s chdcked herself out.., I personally would rather see Molly then any of these new can’t actresses

Show is ok but Nina needs to find out that teacher(4got her name)is her daughter!!!
For them to take Hayden out again is totally ridiculous, Rebecca is a talented actress and has so much more chemistry with Micheal Easton than Fionah Hughes. Just makes me sad to see her leave again.
Im sick and tried of the brad lucas story! Its been dragged out too long now! Time to move on g.h. writers!
The gay couple story or the baby swap story?
Hope she meant the baby swap. I’m actually glad they are showing the Brad and Lucas side of the story. When the swap first happened it was Michael oriented. Then Willow/Shiloh. Now, they’ll finish off with the dads.
The show is finally giving Carnes a time to shine. Lucas is a legacy character (despite of his bio parents) with connections to the canvas. Great reconnect scene with Brook Lynn last week. Contrast with the sad – yet funny – Brad and Liesl scene. Man up – pat pat.
I only wish it was Adrienne Leone the Brooklyn who was on before was sooo good
So agree time for Michael to know the truth
The Alexis story is a total fail.
What was the purpose for it ?
It was filler to fill air-time because
Frank/writers can’t create a story that is of worth,
it’s mainly on Frank.
Frank needs to go, it’s past his time.
He should have been let go 4 years ago.

Hey, su…
You may be right—-could there be another alternative for this elabore attempt to murder Alexis? Perhaps, it’s to get Alexis and Julian back together again. He da man!! The hero?
On ghu the Facebook group I am an admin (21000 plus members) the group seemed quite interested in the story? It allowed Julian and Neil air time too

Violet is probably the only reason to watch this drivel. Trim the fat. Nancy Lee Grahn’s talents are being wasted. Where are the vets???

Having just gone through an eerily similar situation with an uncle of mine on Thanksgiving just the other day, and with my father beginning to show signs of slipping as he recently turned 71 years old, those Mike and Sonny scenes really hit home for me. My god, did they hit home.
GH continues to do such a spot on job of telling the story of Alzheimer’s. The writing, the dialogue, the production, and of course the heartbreaking performances of Max Gail and Maurice Benard. I’ve praised them many times in the past and will continue to do so. Max can’t win enough Emmys in my book for how phenomenal he’s been in this role and this storyline. It’s an acting master class every time he’s on screen.

And Carly was very sweet with Mike. She is usually overbearing but she was wonderful.

I cannot stand Alexis. T.J. comes to her like a true gentleman and asks Alexis’s permission to marry her daughter and she gives some bullshit talk about Molly wouldnt want this to be done this way and blah, blah, blah! Molly can be as liberal and different as she wants to be and I’m sure T.J. already knows that about her but what girl wouldnt be satisfied to be marrying a man who has enough respect to ask for permission! What parent would have comfort and respect knowing your daughter is marring an upstanding good man! F Alexis! I say, R.I.P. rats, Alexis should have been lying in that dumpster!
EXACTLY!!!!! I never liked the character of Alexis to begin with…and I still don’t!!!!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Thank you. Same to you Jay!

Paging Dr. Griffin Munro! Matt Cohen Makes A Return Visit To GH

Looks like a medical crisis will bring Matt Cohen (Griffin Munro) back to General Hospital today on Friday’s episode and next week on upcoming episodes of the ABC daytime drama series.
In addition, we wonder if Cohen might appear in scenes with Maura West, who’s Ava Jerome is checked into Shadybrook trying to deal with her emotional state, which unbeknownst to her is being caused by Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma).
As GH fans know, Cohen first came on to the GH scene back in 2016, but departed the series earlier in 2019.
Meanwhile, Matt has landed a gig on Entertainment Tonight as one of their correspondents and anchors while continuing to do directing, and acting projects.
What will bring Griffin back to Port Charles? Happy to see Matt again on GH? Comment below.
