On yesterdays episode of General Hospital as the day begins for Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) to get ready for his engagement party at Wyndemere to Britt, the prince sees a vision of the love of his life, Emily Quartermaine, which marked the brief return of Daytime Emmy winner, Natalia Livingston.

During their conversation, Emily implores Nikolas to make sure she is choosing the right woman.  Clearly, Emily does not feel that is Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). Nikolas even admits to her that he loves Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst).  Emily even says to Nikolas he should try to smile sometimes, which is so true, given the history of his character!

But it was the ending scenes that pulled at the emotional heartstrings in a wonderful performance by Tyler Christoper, who goes from a quick moment of levity with Emily to tears, as he realizes how much he misses the love of his life and how she truly could never be replaced.

So, what did you think of seeing Natalia and Tyler together on-screen again?  Emily’s message to Nikolas ?  Share your thoughts on the scenes below!

Nikolas should be made to be one of the leading men on GH on par with Luke and Patrick. He is handsome, rich, tortured, and a legacy character. Glad to see this focus on Nikolas and I hope it will continue. It is nice to have one story playing outside the mob and out of the ring of craziness and outrageousness that tends to color this beloved drama. Tyler Christopher is a daytime leading man who should be featured more. And I hope it means more of Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). This has promise of genuine old-fashioned romance which admittedly is missing from all the soaps these days.

Tyler Christopher is an amazing actor; I absolutely love his portrayal of Nikolas Cassadine. So glad to have him back! Looking forward to his scenes with Natalia.

I agree about Tyler Christopher and the overall direction. Ron and Frank definitely know how to have fun, but GH is in desperate need of much more real romance and heart. There are flashes, but that seems to be all we get these days.

It’s all negative emotion on GH most of the time these days. last year was fun for the 50th anniversary build up. This year is all sadness and bad things going down. Yesterday was one of the few shows that gave me a good feeling after it was over. Ron and Frank are not giving us any fun recently. They are ruining characters and I read an interview where basically Ron does not care.

I totally agree!

Well said Iakovos..I agree with you 100%

GH is doing very well..
FV and RC and staff have more than doubled the numbers..
The stories are great as is the acting..
to say ”Ron does not care” is absurd ..

They haven’t doubled the numbers. That would require GH to get a 3.6 rating or higher. Last week they were at a 2.2.

Viewership has increased, yes.

Well said Iakovos!!! Agree completely! Love Tyler and hope he and Nik stay for a long while. Would so like Nik and Liz to get together!

Iakovos, I agree wholeheartedly. I didn’t understand why he was written out to begin with. He has connections to everyone, a great history, and enough family mystery to last decades.

To be honest? I felt like if Nikolas could have, he would sacrifice both Britt and Liz to have Emily back, you could see the love pouring out of him and as a Niz fan part of me can’t take him seriously with Liz because you can tell he would rather have Emily (which I understand because she was the first main love of his life) I’m not saying he can’t have another great love but its just hard to separate one with the other when they bring Emilys ghost physically back.

Well I am sure for long time fans to see this couple reunited ever so briefly was a real treat, but frankly I am sick of every soap using the “ghost device”. Of course they might not be literally ghosts, just the audience seeing what a character is imagining a conversation with their deceased loved one would be like if they were alive. But either way it is over done.

As for Nickolas well his romance with Britt moved way too fast for my liking. They met on the fourth of July and they were engaged by Valentine’s Day; I have kept leftovers in my fridge longer than that. So no I don’t buy Nik being tormented enough be torn between Britt and Elizabeth that this vision was necessary. But like I said it was probably a real treat for some and I don’t begrudge them that, but I do wish writers wouldn’t use that device so often.

I totally agree with you. I don’t watch any other soaps now since the other two I watched were taken off TOLN,, . But I did enjoy the scenes with Emily. They were a real treat. It’s about the only thing I’ve enjoyedd on GH in a while. I despise most of the story lines on the show right now.
the Luke situation -whether it’s a Fake Luke or a brainwashed Luke, or his brain was switched with Scotty’s is horrid, for example.

Nicholas was in love with Britt in the time it took to learn her name just about. For such a careful person it was not realistic. I don’t see much chemistry with Elizabeth and nicholas though. We know the Britt/Nicholas thing is bound to explode when he learns the truth. But the coming attractions may be another dream. I wonder if they will wait til sweeps to bring out the truth, and if this is all a tease like every time they are dreaming.

I like Scotty! 🙂 (Luke in not acting Scotty-esque.)

Gee.. i don’t think I’d have dinner at your house….those leftovers are 7 months old.

🙂

Well I said I kept them, doesn’t mean I eat them— rest assure for dinner guests its class all the way, reheated take out pizza that’s only been in the fridge a week. LOL.

Totally agree with Iakovos. More Nikolas please, Dying to see what Nikolas will do once Britt’s secret is revealed this week.

It seems that Nikolas is being brought up front 🙂

Here’s a novel thought! Instead of bringing back every villain, murderer, and psychopath from the dead, why not bring back some of the people fans actually WANT back? Ron C has an aversion to GOOD characters. He will let them show up as ghosts for 2 minutes, but Heaven forbid he should give a story to a character who is not a twisted, vile, piece of scum. And ghost stories…really??? This is such a boring lazy way of pretending to give viewers what they want while not really doing it at all. These ghost stories pack NO kind of emotional wallop when they are done so regularly

I totally agree with you (except about Emily) Why is Ric back? Other than being good looking I find nothing interesting or that I want to see in action. And for Liz to tell Carly she doesn’t see Ric the way Carly does.?? I agree there are so many good characters they don’t have on now. Of course they did kill many of them, like Alan. and some are really dead. I think they should bring back a recast Jason and make him not remember the mob days. I’m sick of mob stories. I am hating all the negative people and story lines. Worst of all Ava and Sonny shooting his son’s father. Michael and Monica have had enough horrible things happen. (But I did love seeing Emily back. I usually don’t like these ghost things, but some happiness if even for a minute. I usually don’t like them though.)

Rick’s a great character and actor. He always had interesting storylines…he’s related to many…Sonny, Molly, Alexis, Liz…he’s good and evil…I love that they brought him back. Hope he sticks around.

TONY!

I loved that scene. I hope Nikolas realizes he truly loves Elizabeth even though he still loves Emily. She wants him to move on & be happy. Yes Nikolas should be a leading man!

This is one of GHs better moments and good use of vets even if one is a ghost…now if the rest of the show was written this well perhaps we’ll see a bigger rated GH…Ava is too bloodthirsty as is Shaun and Sonny…with their murdering history it was a joke to hear one of them mention God and talking about A.J. paying for his crimes, especially since he didnt kill Connie…

Will Britt be pregnant(Babies!Babies! Babies!) with Niks kid once he finds out Ben is Lulus and begins romancing Liz or will there be a twist and Britt is really Bens after all or somehow Maxi is???

lol history shows there have been many God fearing killers..
some kill in the name of God..
The Italian mobs were God fearing, big church goers, LOL ..
Ava only killed one, to protect a secret, she is not killing people…….

Ava should shoot every one that I don’t like- I’d like that, Sam would be gone!! 🙂

You kill one or a dozen your still bloodthirsty…Ava killed Connie and also wants A.J., dead, Shaun cant wait to pull the trigger and Sonny shot A.J., and i wouldnt doubt Ava killed off camera…they all qualify as bloodthirsty…Sam is somewhat annoying!!! And i know there are many church goers who are total hypocites…the pray to God one minute and break the ten comments the next!!!

If Ava killed every GH character you didn’t like, SU000, there would be no female characters left except maybe Sparkle Pony.

@su0000. Ava killed Connie…she tried to kill AJ in the hospital…and she tried to kill Franco. Who knows how many she’s killed or attempted to kill in the past. She’s as bloodthirsty as the come.

So true, jimh….while I appreciate dark (and occasionally twisted) humor as much as anyone else (witness “Dr. O.!) I have become quite disgusted over the elevation of complete depravity as “the norm” on the show….too many of the characters are really bad people with no redeeming qualities. Instead of the usual soap baddies formula (like say, “JR Ewing” and maybe a nemesis or two….) we have far too many really reprehensible roles that the writers do everything to glorify at the expense of the more measured, nuanced, even conflicted types. Right now we have Ava, Car-LOS!, Julian, Sonny, Shawn, and possibly Franco and Heather, not to mention whomever or whatever the increasingly bizarre and perverse “Luke” will eventually be unveiled as. It’s simply too much!!!! Especially when a basically good and decent guy like AJ is being crucified and sentenced to either an indefinite coma or death for a crime he didn’t even commit….it’s truly sick!!!!

I agree with Iakovos, Nickolas (Tyler C.) is leading man material. It was very emotional and made me miss dear Emily all the more. I know soaps kill off characters but Emily and Georgie and Jacob were all the most senseless killings of all times on GH.

I’ve never liked Emily and Nikolas as a couple, and didn’t think much of her “ghost” being concerned enough with what’s happening here on earth to make a pitch for her best friend as his new wife. That was pretty bad imo.

I wish they could have gotten the first Emily (Amber Tamblyn) to come back. Now she was a decent actress. This actress is a cross between Marcia Brady and Sparkle Pony.

I do agree… Nicolas should be a leading man.. he is tortured and I wonder will he ever find his happiness… He is a good man who deserves LOVE. He, along with Sonny, Luke, and Patrick should be a part of the ‘leading men’ … and how I miss Jason… Bring that man back… he is terrible on Young and Restless…not worth watching..and bring back Spinelli. Where is Diane and Max?????>

Hated Emily alive, hate her even more as a ghost! why she has a emmy i will never understand

Wow you sound miserable. lol. Natalia is a wonderful actress, I miss Emily Quartermaine so much. Rumor is Emily is alive. She might come back alive in the future.

Hey, Ghlover was talking about a character, who is fictional. It’s okay to hate fictional people!

No no im a very happy person but that does not meen i dont notice bad acting…and im NL’s case its extreme bad acting lol hope Emily stays dead!!

ITA… a total waste of time.

I thought I was the only one. Did you ever notice how she exhaled sharply through her nose while grinning? It made her look and sound like a cat hissing.

Hahahhaha you are so right 😉 Cheers!!

Right on, ghlover! Emily was the most cloying ,annoying, sickening-sweet dipstick that ever trod the Port Charles boards….until of course “Soppy” the sanctimonious babysitter arrived!!!!!

Totaly agree!!!!:)

It was great to see her back on the sene . Folks r right Nick needs to man up an take charge. He has layed back to long/

I loved it. It is so sad that the writers killed her.

Nick should be in the forefront. He may get to step up once Anthony Geary leaves. They need to revive the Cassadines and Quartermaines. How many times have I said that if you look at Daytimes #1 soap for 25 years and learn one thing, they have core families at Y&R. GH used to. You have to have a center point. The Six Degrees of the Newmans and the Abbotts.” Every story on that successful show bounces off one of those two families. Gh needs to do the same thing. Nick needs a new love. A “Prince wouldnt date a nurse or a doctor, he would date a socialite.

But then he’d be a stuck-up Prince…and that’ s not Nicolas. He’s humble…he’s rejected much of the Cassadine clan…and he’s always been an everyman in a princely package. Down-to-earth…rescuer of damsels in distress…not a socialite chasing aristocrat.

I loved Nik and Emily. Killing her off was awful and unnecessary . I wish she’d come back from the dead like the others….
It was an ok moment but it felt a little awkward to me… Especially her acknowledging his love for her bestie…

agree.

I so wish instead of Jason being frozen and Robin saving him, that it was Emily and her dad Alan. I would give my right arm to have them back!!

yah.. to bad it’s Jason who is frozen..
I wish it was Robin frozen- it would keep her gone and silent 😉

Bring back Emily Quartermaine Cassedine. Let Robin thaw her out, too. She has beauty and heart and soul. GH needs more of that especially in light of Robin, Robert and Laura leaving. We need more role models and less Ava Jerome, Donna Mills and dare I say it Silas Clay.

We want John McBain and Natalie Buchanan.

I would rather see Allan Q come back than this insipid silly character–he should have never been killed off.

More please

I think Emily was a love of him but not the one. I find it wierd they never show Cortney being she is Spencers mom. I truley believe its Britt. They have hot chemistry and they r two lost souls. I hope they over come this even if it takes a while. Liz is already flirting with Ric. At Ajs beside. Dhe cant make her mind up. What if Lucky should come back. And her and Nicks son fight way to much. To me he loved her and her it was hot sex. She is just a homewrecker. Orvwants what she cant have. Maybe she should go to Patrick!

This was nice. While I do like a lot of the craziness, I agree that GH is missing some “heart” these days. I think losing Ellie and Spinelli has hurt the show a lot in that department. I also miss characters like Jax, Johnny, Todd – flawed but not psycho. To me Julian and the Jeromes are a bit one-dimensional – I don’t understand what motivates them the same way I did with other mobsters like Anthony, Joe Jr, etc. who were more human characters. I like what TBTB are doing, just wish they’d bring it down to earth a tad with some more earnest characters. Nik is great for that so I am glad he’s around and getting story!

“During their conversation, Emily implores Nikolas to make sure she is choosing the right woman.”

There’s a tell..to make sure SHE is choosing the right woman??? As in Emily choosing the right woman?!

I would wish Nicholas all the best in choosing the right woman, as I think that his character SHOULD have the best. But alas, the Prince, I believe, is in for heartache. Whether he supports Britt or not, it seems to be a lose-lose situation for him.

I wish him well in his next endeavor into heart and unionhood…seems to me that clinging to Britt would be the chivalrous thing, but not the best thing for him. He would be tilting at windmills…

tyler christopher can do it all. he burns up any screen he graces. thoroughly enjoy any scene between the nicholas/emily characters. (now, on a totally ridiculous level, i think that ’emily’s’ make-up did her a disservice!

General hospital needs to recast Jason Quartermaine, with Cameron Mathison ex ryan All my children. Cameron is a terrific actor. Come on gh producers call M.R. Camerson Mathison right now.

When Nikolas took Emily’s hand and broke down crying, he showed his true talent.

I loved the scenes between Nikolas and Emily.Emily may have just wanted Nikolas to think things about which woman he truly wants before marrying Britt and not after.As for Frank and Ron they brought Nikolas back while the other regime wrote him out.Plus GH is having the best ratings right now that they have had in several years.Which may mean even though people are finding reasons to complain about the show they are still finding other reasons to watch.No one is going to like a soap 100% all the time but as long as there’s something that keeps their attention that might be all that matters.

‘General Hospital’s’ Tabyana Ali on a Potential Kai/Trina/Gio/Emma Quadrangle, ‘I Don’t Think That’s Impossible, But That Would Be Messy’

Published

By

Kai, Trina, Gio, Emma

On recent episodes of General Hospital, music executive Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) has been pushing and demanding that Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) play up a faux relationship when they are onstage, or in front of the camera, to add to their allure as new recording artists to his label.

Simon knows full well that Gio is dating Emma (Braedyn Bruner), and Trina is with Kai (Jens Austin Astrup). It was apparent from the start, that Kai seemed a bit more comfortable with the “arrangement” understanding this was for business, and not pleasure, while Emma initially didn’t like the idea.

Now with Trina’s stalker story in full gear, and as fans eventually find out who is completely obsessed with the budding young singer, while initially seeming to be Simon that would seem to be too easy of a choice. But is GH toying with the idea that somehow Gio and Trina get stuck in a situation and one thing leads to another and they develop feelings one another, too?

SIMON’S MANUEVERS

In addition, after Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) beatdown at Pentonville, where everyone is accusing Sonny (Maurice Benard) of ordering the deed, will this find Gio and Trina on the same side, believing it’s Sonny, or will Gio end up sticking by his grandfather when by week’s end he was also questioning if he was telling the truth?

During a new conversation on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali shared her thoughts that if Gio and Trina were pushed closer together, what that would mean for their relationships with Emma and Kai, respectively.

MUSICAL CHAIRS?

Pondering the soap staple, Tabyana exclaimed, “Oh, my goodness. Who knows? I mean, quite honestly, I don’t think it’s it’s impossible, but, oh, wow! That would be messy!” Ali added that its something that could be quite intriguing to play. “There’s a part of me that wants it to happen just to see, how does it play out? Right? Then, there’s another part of me that’s like, “You can’t do that to Emma and Kai.” That’s so wrong,” believed Ali.

However, Tabyana did admit a complicated love story wasn’t far from her mind. “Originally, I wanted something like a quadrangle.  I really wanted that to happen. And if this is a moment where it could happen, I think that would be fun too.”

When asked to tease what’s coming up for Trina in the next several weeks, she offered up three words. Things for her will “(get) Suspicious, (be ) spontaneous, (and) very dangerous.”

So, do you think the GH writing team is teeing up a situation where Trina and Gio become more than friends and musical artists together? Would you be down for it, or be against it? do you like Emma with Gio and Kai with Trina? Share your thoughts via the comment section, nd in case you missed it, check our chat with Tabyana below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Tells Dante, “I Don’t Want a Son Like You,” While Michael Tells Brook Lynn to Bide Her Time Till Chase and Willow Have an Affair

Sonny, Dante, Michael, Brook Lynn General Hospital

On the Thursday, October 1 episode of General Hospital, both Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) had some things to say and what they had to say didn’t go over well with whom they were talking to!

Sonny had a confrontation with his son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), while Michael leveled with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) over Chase (Josh Swickard).

GH is setting up a scenario where everyone is going to make it look like Sonny was responsible for having Sidwell (Carlo Rota) beat up in Pentonville; while viewers already know Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) were behind it.

A VISIT WITH DAD

Now, Dante comes to Sonny’s house. He wants to know straight up from his dad if he ordered the attack at Pentonville. Sonny flatly denies any culpability or responsibility, but Dante refuses to believe him.

Dante informs Sonny he has video footage of Sully and Vito at the prison. Sonny explains to Dante he doesn’t know why Sully beat up both Curtis and Dante. Things escalated when Sonny was deeply hurt that Dante refused to believe him. Dante says he was disappointed that his father didn’t respect him enough to be truthful with him!

Sonny asks Dante to consider that he was being set up. He says all he did was to tell Vito to instruct Sully to keep a watchful eye on Sidwell, not to harm him. No matter what Sonny said, Dante continued hammering him with how he knew deep down, even though he said he left the mob, he had to finish off Sidwell for himself.

Next, Sonny explains everything he has ever done was to provide for and to protect his family. Dante fired back that he doesn’t want to deal anymore with Sonny’s half-baked truths. As the two men argue, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) shows up at Sonny’s front door and overhears Sonny losing his temper and shouting at Dante, “Get out of my house! I don’t want a son like you!”  The scenes featured an excellent performance by Maurice Benard.

MICHAEL THE MANIPULATOR

While this is going down, outside the Quartermaine boathouse, Brook Lynn opens up to Michael about living at the Q’s with Chase being there, since he only came back due to legal advice from his lawyer, Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard).

Brook Lynn questioned whether they should get legally separate. Michael insisted that would be a big mistake. When she asks why, Michael tells Brook Lynn to bide her time until Chase and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have an affair; then she’d have full custody of Phoebe.

An angered Brook Lynn pushed Michael into the water and accuses him of moving Willow back into the gatehouse with intent on putting Chase and Willow in closer proximity and sacrificing Brook Lynn’s family in the process.  As the two cousins bicker, Chase shows up asking Brook Lynn if she is OK. Michael punctuates their talk with “You know, I’m right.”

CURTIS FIGURES OUT A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SLAMMER

At GH, Willow visits Curtis (Donnell Turner) in his hospital room. Curtis wants Willow to get him pardoned and keep him out of jail, and in return, he will help her nail Sonny.

Next, Willow tells Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) she wants Curtis held for observation for three more days. He agrees to do so under one condition, that she understands that he may need to call in a favor from a congresswoman.

So, what did you think of how Dante accused his father and refused to believe Sonny’s answers? Is this the end of their father and son relationship for good? Is Michael the most manipulative person of all, except for Willow? Do the two deserve each other? Do you want Chase and Willow to have an affair? And what of Curtis? Does he have many redeeming qualities left? Share your thoughts via the comment section,  but first check out the talk Michael had with Brook Lynn.
