Over the last several months, General Hospital has given the ball to two of its younger actors, to help pack the emotional wallop of the death of Sam McCall and the aftermath, and the resurrection of Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) with all of its twists and turns.

16-year old Finn Carr (Rocco Falconeri) has been acting professionally since he was a kid, while 15-year old, Asher Antonyzyn just began his acting career and landed his first professional role as the son of Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco).

Acting with soap veterans such as Alexa Havins, Dominic Zamprogna, (Dante) Steve Burton, Genie Francis (Laura) and others could be a daunting task for some younger performers, but not for Asher and Finn. Not only did they hold their own, they made viewers often reach for the hankies. On-screen, Danny and Rocco consider themselves ‘brothers’, even though they are not biological related, but Dante was engaged to Sam at the time of her murder.

Now, in an exclusive conversation with Asher and Finn on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, the young stars share their thoughts on their favorite story beats, their co-stars, their friendship on-screen and off, tease what’s ahead for Danny and Rocco, and how they might deal with the fallout from the death of Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), while learning Jason is pretending to be Sasha’s (Sofia Mattsson) baby daddy, and the secret yet to be revealed, that Gio is the biological son of Dante and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton).

While there are so many fun moments within the video interview including: what’s on the guys Spotify playlists and who are their acting idols; here are just a few of the excerpts related to Asher and Finn’s GH storylines below.

Finn, one of my favorite scenes of yours was when Rocco was in the chapel with Laura (Genie Francis) feeling guilty about Sam and being happy that his mom, could come back to life. What did you think of those scenes?

FINN: I was a little bit intimidated when I looked at the sides (for the script). I saw it was heavy emotionally.  I prepared for that. But when I got on set, it was actually a very relaxed atmosphere and of course, very emotional. I was talking with Genie a lot before we taped and we discussed the scenes and we knew what each other was going to do.

Asher, what happened when you found out you would play the son of one of the most popular stars of the show, Steve Burton?

ASHER: This is my first acting job and I had no idea what to expect. I had never really heard of the show, but I remember when I got like the audition for it my dad was sitting on the couch. He’s like, “It would be so cool if you got this, because everyone knows what it is. It’s like a world-renowned huge show.” So, we flew out to L.A. for an in-person audition, not really knowing what to expect and I got it. I was like watching a couple episodes of GH before my first film date. And that’s when Steve Burton was coming back as Jason – this huge character. I’m like, “That last name is matching up. Like, is he someone important?” I did a little bit of bit of research and I was like, “Wow, that’s just such an honor to play his son. Steve’s the best. He’s really such a great guy.”

Finn, you have some amazing scene partners as well, including your new TV mom, Alexa Havins. What has been like working with Alexa, and playing the beats of when Rocco sees his Lulu alive for the first time in four years?

FINN: I will talk about Alexa first, because that goes into making the moment good. She’s amazing. She’s one of my favorite scene partners. I love doing scenes with her. Whenever I see that we’re both on the call sheet, I get really excited. She’s so in her character and that just helps so much with making a scene like that work and look really organic. I love to act with people and play off of them and feed off of their emotions and she was so just ready. It was really cool to watch her get prepared for that scene and do it with her. I let her take the lead and I just went with it.

There was a key scene where Rocco tells Danny that Cyrus Renault is the suspect in the murder of his mother, Sam. Then, Danny wants revenge for his mother’s death. Could you see him attempting to kill the guy?

ASHER: Personally, I think it would be really cool for something like that to happen. I think Danny is forming into a younger Jason and that means a lot to the show and something that could flow really cool with the storyline arc for Danny after losing his mom.

The two of you play brothers on GH, for all intent and purposes. What were your first impressions of each other in real life?

FINN:  We were good friends from the start. I think we got comfortable with each other. Clearly, we knew we were going to have some scenes with each other. The off-screen bond is just as important as the on-screen, and so one thing normally leads to the other. We’re really good friends off the set, too. We text, send each other Instagram stuff etc.

ASHER: A lot of the non-fighting stuff you see between us on camera is what you see in person. We’re super good friends. It’s just been awesome. I worked with a lot of teen actors at the start of my time on the show and then like nothing. So, when I saw that there was another teen boy on the show, I was like, “This is cool.” I’m very glad I get to work with someone my age that I can relate to and ask questions that I normally wouldn’t be able to ask to someone who’s much more experienced than me and older.

Do you have a favorite scene that you have done together?

FINN:  Some stuff that we just did but we can’t say! There is something really fun coming up. It’s pretty dramatic.

ASHER: Yes. There is something that we just did that was pretty fun to film.

Finn, on recent episodes viewers learned that Gio Palmieri is actually the biological son of Dante Falconeri and Brook Lynn Quartermaine. How do you think Rocco would feel if he found out that Gio is his half-brother?

FINN: I’m not too sure how he would react. Rocco would probably be pretty shocked. I think right now, I’d be very shocked if I found out a half- sibling. That’s a pretty big thing to find out. But, I think he would be excited at the prospect of having a new brother.

Photo: ABC

Speaking of siblings, Asher, what did you think when you found that Jason was going to pretend to be the father of Sasha’s (Sofia Mattsson) unborn baby and Danny’s reaction to the news?

ASHER: When I read that, at first, I didn’t really understand why, because Sasha is the cook at the Quartermaines. I was super confused. I then read through the script and I’m like, “OK, so Jason is not actually the father.” And that’s kind of how the scene played out, but Danny understands, and is OK with it.

What storyline would you like to get the opportunity to tell with your character?

ASHER: I would want Danny to go after Cyrus and kind of try and get revenge, and do everything to avenge his mom. I can’t say what really happens, but I think the writers know what they’re doing, and I think they have a good idea of what they have ahead for all the characters.

Now below watch the full conversation from the Michael Fairman Channel with Asher and Finn.

They are the cutest, sweetest boys, I love them both and they can act too!

Great interview, Michael! Asher and Finn seem like two likeable, down to earth kids. It’s been fun watching them grow as actors. They’ve both been thrown into the deep end with some very heavy material lately, and have risen the occasion. Particularly Finn in the scenes with Genie Francis at the chapel, which I lauded him for at the time here. Look forward to seeing what the future holds for both.

Great teens! Great actors, too! I hope they give them lots to do and keep that “brotherly” connection going.

I guessed Gio’s paternity long ago. I also think Donny knows he’s Gio’s grandfather.
Aside. Valentin needs to stop butchering French. It’s “ ma petite” ( feminine), not “mon petit”.

I agree about Sonny knowing he’s Gio’s grandfather. Surprised that Lois and her big mouth hasn’t come right out and said it, the way she blabs everyone’s business. What did she really get by telling Martin everything, except for Lulu finding out. Gosh, I rue the day she came out of her coma!

Correction—“Sonny”. Not Donny—oops

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.

Brook Lynn

The marriage of Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) may have come to an end by the conclusion of the Tuesday, September 8 episode of General Hospital.

In story, confronted by Trina (Tabyana Ali), and in front of a room full of Quartermaines, Brook Lynn copped to being the other driver involved in the crash that scarred Jordan’s (Tanisha Harper) face and ultimately sent Curtis (Donnell Turner) to prison.

Chase, who thinks at this point Brook Lynn was covering up her involvement by protecting someone else in the family is shocked to learn it’s Brook Lynn who actually was the driver. Brook Lynn explains she never saw any evidence of a crash when she ran into Jordan’s car, so she didn’t stop to check on anyone. Trina and Jordan are outraged as is Chase.

CHASE PUTS BROOK LYNN ON BLAST

Soon, it comes out that Tracy (Jane Elliot) was involved in the cover-up, and tries to point out that Brook Lynn wasn’t responsible for causing the accident or Curtis punching Isaiah, but Trina says that Brook Lynn tore her family apart, and her father is in prison without the ability to see his newborn son. Trina storms out with Kai (Jen Austin Astrup).

Next, Chase goes on blast on Brook Lynn in front of her entire family. Chase starts to walk out the front door as Brook Lynn tries to stop him. At this point, Chase is all about being lied to, and he goes in on his wife, that they promised there would be no more secrets between them.

Brook Lynn digs a deeper hole for herself when she explained that she’d had a glass of wine before getting in the car to see Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina perform at Charlie’s. She admits to being terrified that she’d lose any chance of adopting baby Phoebe, if she called the police.

TO THE GATEHOUSE HE GOES

Chase is furious that Brook Lynn framed Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) for what she caused and did. With that, Chase leaves Brook Lynn in the dust and heads straight to the gatehouse door to see Willow!

Cut to: Brook Lynn devastated on the staircase of the Q mansion and her dad, Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth) sitting with his daughter to try to comfort her when she decrees her marriage is over.

Now in the pick-up, take a look at the General Hospital teaser video for today’s Wednesday, September 9, episode below.

So, what did you think of how Brook Lynn’s life just blew up in front of her? Does she deserve to have Chase walk out on her for what she did? Do you want Brook Lynn and Chase to work things out, or are you betting by the end of this week Chase and Willow will have hit the sheets? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
