While April 1st, not only brought the 62nd anniversary of General Hospital, the special event also brought with it, the confirmation of another legacy event.

After teasing her big announcement over multiple tries at making a successful viral video to engage and bring in new followers, Lucy Coe played by Lynn Herring, finally revealed that the GH Nurses Ball is back with all-new episodes centered around the gala beginning  on Tuesday, May 20.

As Lucy, Lynn Herring shares in the video, “Guess what? You’re going to love something old, something new, a big surprise for you. I just made a poem! The Nurses Ball is back. Come play with us, come watch us, come enjoy… just be with us. Celebrate everything General Hospital Nurses Ball 2025.”

Herring’s Lucy Coe has hosted the Nurses Ball created by former GH EP, Wendy Riche, since its inception in 1994. The event was held every year until 2001, only to return in 2013 under current EP Frank Valentini. In 2024, the GH Nurses Ball was not held, but it is returning again this year in 2025

Meanwhile, on the General Hospital social accounts they shared the big news (and invitation) writing: “Dress to impress, as they say, and prepare for a week of excitement, drama, and a whole lot of costume changes. Lucy Coe cordially invites you to attend the 2025 General Hospital Nurses Ball,” while noting that the upcoming episodes will features a “charitable night of singing, dancing, and so much more.”

The incomparable Lynn Herring!
The indomitable Lucy Coe!

James…as always…RIGHT ON BROTHER!!!!! But…I still feel bad for Lynn Herring…I mean…her losing her husband (Rest In Peace Wayne Northrup).

Catch ya’ later, Brother.

Absolutely, Jay. I echo your comments. Cheers, Brother!

The Nurses Ball idea was an inspired one. The story point allowed for cast members to feature hidden/try new talents, and that is always a treat. It also provided a platform for plot twists and turns. And when big events featuring full cast participation seem a thing of the past, we have GH and the Nurses Ball to enjoy. Thank you!

If they want some good talent, they should get Finolla Hughs/Anna to dance the way she did in the movie Stayin Alive with John Travolta. That lady can dance! I remember her dancing with the Dr. a few years ago, forgot his name.

Great suggestion Violet, especially since John’s sister Ellen plays Gloria Cerulla. Perhaps John could do a nurse’s ball special guest appearance.

You just gave me Goose bumps! I adore John. Did you happen to see his little Christmas commercial, dressed as Santa ,with his Stayin Alive moves? Per your suggestion, how would we go about making something like this happen?

I did see that Violet. Perhaps Mr. Fairman knows the right people to suggest that too… at best we could hope someone reads this and can make it happen. I love Fiona Hughes’ dancing and that she has trained in classical ballet. It really show no matter the style of dance she is preforming.

From your lips. Sounds like a good idea, so let’s hope for the best! Hope you are reading this good idea from Mr. GH fan, Mr. FAIRMAN…

I did not know that was Travolta’s sister!!

Well, technically Lucy was presumed dead to most of Port Charles in 2023 when Bobbie and Maxie hosted the NB.

Missed it last year for sure. It’s a great time and the actors get to show off their other talents like singing and dancing. It’s always fun and full of surprises.

must see TV

Hope they can find actual singers to do the musical numbers, and no more of that autotune dragonshit.

Also, would be nice to hear popular music that most people recognise. Most of the stuff they perform, like what Chase sang the other day, I’ve never heard, and I’ve been here a long time.

Sometimes royalty payments are required on songs.. so that might be why lesser known songs are used.. I do enjoy Chase’s singing regardless of what he is singing.

I know I’m in the minority but I don’t enjoy the Nurse’s ball anymore.

You’re not in the minority.

I don’t even remember there not being a Ball last year, what does that say besides my old memory fading?

You are 100% correct Violet. You did not miss anything, There wasn’t a nurse’s ball in 2024.

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

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.
