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.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

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.
