GENERAL HOSPITAL: Darby Pops Up Onto The Scene & Ned Says Goodbye To Olivia!
Courtesy/ABC
On Monday’s episode of ABC’s General Hospital, former Miss Alabama USA, Jesica Ahlberg, showed up on the canvas as Darby – a sexy young gal who has hankering for Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig).
While Kiki (Hayley Erin) is getting sauced, Morgan tries to talk to her, but she wants no part of him. He takes a seat away from her having a drink of his own. Enter Darby, who spots Morgan and sits down at his table and the flirtation begins. When Molly (Haley Pullos) and TJ (Tequan Richmond) arrive, they meet up with Darby to go to a party in which Darby extends an invitation to Morgan.
At first, he doesn’t agree to go, but after he tries to talk to Kiki one more time and she resists, he takes Darby up on the invitation. Is this going to be Morgan’s new love interest? What do you think the point of Darby is to the Port Charles canvas? Is she connected to someone else?

Elsewhere, breaking up is hard to do, as Wally Kurth (Ned) popped up for a one day appearance to close the loop on the budding Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) and Ned romance and storyline, since Wally is now on contract at DAYS. In story, Olivia was going to propose to Ned, but before she can he breaks her heart, and says he can’t continue their relationship as long as she hides the truth from Julian (William deVry) that little baby Leo is the mobster’s bio-son. Ned says he found himself again through being with his daughter Brook Lynn and singing again, all thanks to Liv. They tell each other they love one another, but Ned ultimately leaves thus ending the storyline. What will Olivia do now?

Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

I’m not impressed with Darby, but I’ll see where it goes. I do think Hayley Erin has really improved as Kiki. I never really cared for the character even when Kristin Alderson played her, so I’m surprised that I even care what is happening to her but I do.
It was good to have closure on the Ned/Olivia pairing and Wally Kurth sure is HOT. I’m enjoying him on DOOL, but I’ll miss Ned a lot.
GH is holding my interest for the most part. Less Corinthos would be nice.
Oh, yeah, MBmom…..anytime I see any comment on ‘less Corinthos’, I cannot resist answering. Off with his head.
Ned and Olivia paring was bittersweet, but it needed to happen, I guess.
We do not know Darby yet.
Now Kiki is going to play a trick and have the snacks taste horrid.
Correction…parting, not pairing. Oh, what sweet sorrow!!
Couldn’t agree more that Haley Erin has turned in some great work of late. Kiki finally has a strong personality of her own and is not just some blank slate other characters write on. Also really loving the new “family” formed by Franco, Kiki and Nina with all it’s trials and tribulations. Seems like GH is working hard to establish stronger family units, given that Alexis and Julian just got a new home, the Corinthos clan is closing ranks, and Patrick and Sam are blending families.
Heartbroken by the Ned/Olivia break up but really happy DOOL allowed Wally to come back for closure
I liked the actress playing Darby but she seemed a bit too old to be a contemporary of Molly’s. She’s stunningly beautiful and I look forward to seeing her on my screen. The Olivia / Ned twist is obviously contrived due to the unavailability of Wally Kurth and, as such, it rings hollow and is unsatisfying. Long live GH!
Completely agree about the age difference between TJ & Molly, & Morgan & Darby. Darby looks like she’s a contemporary of Maxie & Lulu’s more than Molly’s classmate. Maybe she took like seven gap years between high school & college.
Ned was okay with lying about the baby dying and helping Liv convince Julian his baby was dead, but he is not okay with her pretending she adopted a baby—huh???? I get they had to find some reason to break those two apart but honestly they could have come up with a better excuse. Too bad Days always makes WK wear suits, he looked really good in jeans– As for Darby, too early to tell, but my first impression of the character was not positive. I don’t know why all soaps have such a difficult time writing for younger characters, most of all of them are dull as dirt, but I will give the story a chance to see where it goes.
I know, right, Mary SF? Lame excuse.
Furthermore where does Alexis get off trying to have Leo taken from his mother. I guess, not so surprising, since she, as Carly, is not mother of the century. Here we go again…TWO custody cases. What gall! There are a myriad of reasons Leo should stay put.
Speaking of Leo…he is such a cute, calm baby, but he does not look like either of them. Something’s off with this baby’s looks.
@CeeCee..hello Sweetness…
Leo looks like Carlos’s…Just saying.
Hi, Fanny, my love.
Right? Leo does look Hispanic….more like Sonny than Carlos. How is that possible? Olivia is fair to medium skinned and so is Julian. So, where does Leo get his coloring? He certainly does not look Italian. TPTB need to find another baby. Furthermore, Leo is supposed to be almost six months old. He does not look more than three months, at the most, to me. He should not even be wrapped in a blankie as a neonate any more. Any mother can say how a six-month old can pump his/her little legs energetically. This kid barely moves.
Oh, my, my….Fanny, I say….has Olivia been a naughty girl?
@CeeCee….Well, how else is Alexis going to provide a child for her much younger boyfriend? Not only is she too old to conceive, but probably even to adopt, and she sees Julian’s babylust as the writing on the wall! How I wish this latest plot twist would precipitate a pairing with Olivia. They make so much more sense as a couple, not just as Leo’s bio-parents, but as two highly-attractive, smoking hot individuals who are age-comparable. Perfect fit. Let the fireworks begin!
He looks as if he would be more like Dante and Valerie’s baby?
@Shay.
Well, Girl…tell me about it! Alexis is on a mission. Now, we are talking about a sane, intelligent woman who is head over heels in love with a mobster. She is definitely deluding herself if she thinks Julian has said bye-bye to a life of crime. Right. Sonny hides behind his ridiculous coffee importing company, or whatever-it-is. Julian hides behind what? His Art Gallery? Does Alexis think she will get extra ‘cuddles’ from Ju-Ju if she start a custody war?
I sound like a broken record, Shay, if I say so myself.
To add insult to injury, the writers are actually pushing Alexis to convince Julian to fight for custody of Leo. Now, I am not an attorney, but in what world would a judge take a baby from a perfectly good and capable mother and give him to Julian. Did Alexis and Carly have a tête-à-tête, giving each other pointers? This idiocy shouldn’t come up or be an issue. What will Alexis be alleging/contending? ….that Olivia went through great lengths to keep Leo from Julian? Any judge in his right mind would just give Olivia a slap on the wrist and a pat on the back, saying, “Golly good show”. Not real, not real, not real….I have to keep reminding myself, Shay, in order to keep my sanity. Imbecilic premise, that.
By the by, Shay….Fanny and I are questioning Leo’s ‘look’. He looks of mixed race to me. I ask how that is possible. LOL. Fanny thinks he looks like Carlos; I say he has Sonny’s coloring. I also said he looks like a neonate. The baby hasn’t aged much in almost six months. What say you? Later, bella.
@Timmm.
Yes, how right you are, Timmm. I couldn’t put my finger on it. TPTB certainly picked the wrong baby….but, as it often happens in soaps, there will be a brand new baby in a matter of weeks. Later.
@CeeCeeGirl….Oh yes, I concur with both Fanny and you on “Leo the Bambino”…..he almost looks as if he had a bit of a “topping off” of his tan on a beach in St. Tropez during his mama-imposed vacay away from Port Charles, as opposed to being stashed in, where was it…Bensonhurst??? LOL. Not sure what the showrunners were aiming for with with that particular casting choice of “neonate,” as you so aptly put it! Hmmmm….but on that same general topic, I recently opined that Sappy’s gonna have some splainin’ to do when her offspring likewise emerges upon delivery with an uncanny resemblance to its swarthy, hirsute pappy, Carrrrr-LOS! I added that The Sapster’s dubious paternity whopper will even have to surpass Britt’s supreme porky pie lie when she adamantly insisted that Asian lab dude extraordinaire Brad had sired her extremely pale, fair-haired son, BenRocco. I still roar with laughter when I recall how Dr. Westbourne proclaimed that one with a straight face! (Of course, I was moderated on that post….I am trying to state the notion a bit more delicately this time around in hopes that this one makes it online….) Having said that, I’ve always considered Alexis to be a total hypocrite, but this latest stunt of hers just proves it….she’s blowing the whistle on a mother who tried to protect her child in the exact same manner in which Ms. Davis did when Sonny Boy was her babydaddy, but since the non-custody of this little bundle of Jerome genes threatens her non-stop post-menopausal sexapalooza jolly with Julian, the ends justify the means! (Like I previously stated, how else could she obtain a baby for her much-younger lover?) It’s all really quite sick when you think about it….talk about a woman obsessed with her own physical gratification!!!!! Lastly, perhaps you see a likeness to Sonny in Leo because you actually have this secret thing for Mr. Corinthos???? You know, you really doth protest too much when it comes to your supposed disdain of the “Dimpled Don!!!” Okay, I’m just kidding, CeeCee, but I had to run that theory by you simply for the fun of it!!!! Haha!!! Later, belissima!
@Shay.
Hilarious, ShayGirl.
Hmmm. You got me thinking. Maybe, I do have a ‘thing’ for Sonny, ….ummm, subconsciously? Ha…NEVER! I suppose the “doth protest too much” is a legitimate statement, considering I talk about Sonny incessantly. I need to ponder this, Shay. Regardless, I could never be attracted to a man who thinks he’s too big for his britches. You know what I think? I think he should be given a mini role….very fitting, no? HaHa….Grazie per il complimento, bellissima te, cara.
Oooooooh! I am pleased as punch that my post to you made it this time around, CeeCee! (Thank you, Mr./Ms. Moderator!) Sometimes the witty thoughts just effortlessly flow like lava from a volcano and it is such a disappointment when they fail to be shared with like-minded souls—such as yourself! At any rate,I was most surely jesting you about Sonny….he is an utterly loathsome character and I know you have far better taste than that, CeeCeeGirl! It’s just that your ongoing antipathy for him is so very amusing that I simply wanted to get a rise out you regarding “Dimples!” LOL….Keep it coming with those well-worded barbs for the “Diminutive Don”….they definitely encompass your bailiwick for all things “Corinthos!” Per quanto riguarda il mio complimento? Prego, bella!
I groaned out loud when we were introduced to Darby. Not looking forward to those story lines. There’s already too many cast members.
Shes working for Paul to get info on the Corinthos…just a guess! And now that insipid Kiki is staying with insipid Nina, maybe later for sweeps 2016 they will finally learn they are mother and daughter!
Jimh.. hi.. I believe-
she was working to get into ELQ..
Her call was made a minute after Nik hired her to work for ELQ to tell; ”I’m In” ..
Love Ned and Olivia scenes 🙁 it was Awesome, but sad.. Loving my love in the afternoon again, GH 🙂
To be honest GH doesn’t really have a lot of young actors, so Darby does have a reason for her existent almost all the young characters are related and they all can’t screw each other. As for Olivia , I feel she’s run her course, what really is the point of Olivia anymore? Yes she’s funny, but not very bright, she can’t make up her mind if she want to let a thug be her baby daddy, I would left port Charles with Ned and stayed gone, shes got money and Ned had money so no good excuse.
So, she/Darby is the actress/model the former Miss Alabama USA..
OK– so what is doing on GH ?? lol
And–
Not good seeing one of the last Q’s exit..
((and to mention.. luv that Ron took that horrible Bronx accent away from Oliva, back when.. Ever since she is tolerable ..
Olivia’s secret is compelling ONLY because of the actress portraying her. Lisa Lociero is so amazing as Olivia. Gritty, savvy and classy at the same time. Her devotion to her children is amazing. I really like her character. Ned leaving is not a big deal to me. But watching Olivia grieve over losing him again was almost too much to bear for her. (and me as I watched her meltdown). The Darby story is of no importance at all. So a new girl for Morgan to , ummm how do I say this tactfully, hook up with? Who cares? Not one person. A tramp is always a tramp and that is definitely what Darby is coming off as. We don’t need another one. Kiki can drink her way to Lohanland and I won’t care. Her character is unlikable. The actress playing her comes off too harsh in her portrayal to the point where I don’t care what happens to that character. That is a sign of a bad actress. It’s way too one dimensional. Hopefully they move forward with this story point quickly. Same goes with the Molly chick. I mean seriously, she is so unlovable. I can’t believe she is a daughter of Alexis. Sam and Alexis are so great together but Molly and Alexis…yuck. Do us a favor and have Julian kill off Molly. She is a spoiled brat who is nice to no one, not even TJ. I can’t believe TJ is even into her. Again not impressed. But I am really happy with the direction the show is going. The only problem I can foresee is that when the Jason reveal is done where else can they go? We need something new to stir the embers. I love GH. Perfect cast for the most part. Great acting for the most part and just an overall fun experience all the time.
Since I am not a Kiki fan, the introduction of Darby into the young mix comes at a very good time. Kiki is bent on self-destruction and Morgan deserves better despite his recent actions. Kiki is a mess who needs Dr. Kevin’s immediate attention. Actually I hope the writers go ahead and realize fan speculation with a story which makes Kiki the daughter of Nina rather than Ava.
Molly has come a long way from the starry-eyed adolescent to the judgmental, unforgiving, brat. Genes will tell, and she definitely has her father’s genes. I find her relationship with TJ to be boring in the extreme. The actress and the character can manage a bigger, more dramatic storyline than Molly’s constant bitchiness at her mother’s lover and her constant propping up of TJ. Let her do something other than constantly run off at the mouth about TJ.
Hi, Engrady..
There is something to be said about the acting of a seventeen year old, comparatively speaking. Molly has grown up….somewhat. The actress is very good and beautiful. Haley/Molly is playing a College age young woman of possibly 19-21? This is all Haley can deliver. One cannot bleed a stone. She is just too young to play this role, and, it does show when she is placed next to these older players.
Morgan is detestable. Remember how he lied, connived and tricked Kiki into marrying him? Then, he sleeps with her mother/presumed aunt. In my opinion, Morgan deserves nothing less than castration and ostracization.
I know how everyone feels about Kiki ( Hayley Erin), I am not into her either, albeit I am warming up to her. Of course, there was a little resentment because I loved Kristen Alderson….but, I’m over it.
Nonetheless, Kiki has a good reason to act the arrogant, spoiled, wild child….her world has come to a halt. The person who professed to love her, to champion her, cheated on her. And, the woman who supposedly gave birth to her….the woman who would always protect her at all costs proved to be nothing more than an untrustworthy Succubus.
Lol, Engrady….I have always contented that Kiki is Nina’s. I thought I was the only one. I haven’t given up yet. How will either Nina or Kiki find this out? Oh, I don’t know….maybe Kiki gets into an accident and needs blood? ……or vice versa. This is like déjà-vu…….did I already say that? Forgive my repetitious nature…LOL. Good Night.
ANOTHER reason to hate Morgan! He gets to lock lips with a real hottie! He will bring her down to. He is a real cancer! Has anyone noticed his alleged bipolar symptoms have not acted up lately? He has not seen a doctor and he is not on meds. Did they scratch this story and just chalk up his behavior to being an azzhole? Anyway, Darby is too old to be hanging with Molly and T.J. They walked out of the Metro and she looked like their nanny! Just like the other day, Kristina and NuJoss were walking out of the chapel and they looked to be the same age! Lexi is a good actress but looks to young to be Kristina!
We could list a whole bunch of veterans GH has already lost this year and get sick to our stomachs but to me, Wally Kurth hurt the most. He is a great actor, charming and a Quartermaine! Him and Liv were pretty darn cool together. She will probably end up in a triangle with Jules and Alexis and DAYS gets to chomp on Wally Kurth sandwiches! Lucky , lucky, lucky!
So now were down to Tracy and Monica. Tracy is back burnered since Luke left and Monica must have been taken by Helena? Who knows. Her and Billy Miller shined in ONE scene and they dropped it like a hot potato! What happened to bringing the Quartermaines back! Thanks FRANK! You and your boy Ron lied!
They keep throwing Tony Geary, Maurice Bernard and for a little while Jane Elliot at us as potential Emmy nominees but I think in one scene with Billy, Leslie Charleston killed it. She deserves to be a Emmy winner like Margo Martindale was for a very small part on The Americans last year. Talk about an underrated actor. Tony Geary got praise no matter how he behaved or how stupid the performance was because it was loud and obnoxious. Monica needs to be brought back and allowed to be part of the Quartermaine family.
I agree, Leslie and Billy were phenomenal together. ONE scene! Why? Tony gets respect because he is a soap legend and the guy can act. Fluke turned out to be a bad story and Tony’s illness didnt help because the Fluke story drug so long but the black and white episode will be his reel and it will probably earn him another Emmy. Plus, he is retired and Hollywood likes to tip their hat. I dont miss Luke but I loved the character.
Yes, Lellingw.
There was a discussion, at length, I may add, what a far-reaching performance by both Leslie and Billy just in that one scene. But, the bosses are oblivious to anyone else; or so it seems. Why else are they resuscitating the “mobster” in Sonny? They should concentrate on cleaning him up…scrub the grease off his head and face before evil rises its ugly head again. Yuck!! If all that posturing and strutting, even from his wheelchair, was meant to impress us….that he’ DA MAN, did not work for me. I still liken him to a snake in the grass. Better yet, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. At least, a snake will attack without much fuss or pretense.
I sincerely hope Tony, as much as I admire his acting skill, does not get, yet, another Emmy. There are many waiting in the sidelines/periphery of all the splendor that is Tony. And, Sonny? He will not reign, King….or else! LOL.
Well, at least Tony’s would be well-deserved, if he does win. Golly Gee, even as Fluke, he outdid himself. Geary took that role and ran with it. That’s something to be admired, considering his health issues and the pain he must have endured. Anything to do with the spine causes tremendous pain. But, Sonny? Gimme a break PTB. I still cannot fathom how this guy is still forced upon the viewer as Vito Corleone, the mobster, and Rodolfo Valentino, the lover. Ratz!!!!
lol .. Ron never made a promise, just what he’d like to do.
It is NOT in Ron’s job to hire or fire.. That is FV and ABC..
Ron tried.. he got Ned back but Wally was freelancing between soaps most likely looking for the best deal, he chose Days, not by Ron’s doing he did not have power to offer Wally anything.
AJ whoever wanted to be back with BB and made deals with BB peoples that GH/ABC did know about and he just up and left/said I’m leaving ahaaa so Ron wrote him out, smacked him back dead! lol
He tried to make Michael a Q= fail, didn’t work well.
Ron brought in a quartermaine, Dillon to keep a couple of Q’s alive. And it was a good thing it was OK’d and casted or Dillon would not be.
The Q’s are so far gone there is no hope to revive them.
A pity, a shame, but it what it is..
Hope they keep trying to get Q’s back on my screen, but………………. 🙁
I didnt mention Dillon because he is a non-factor! The actor is okay. They didnt age him right. You cannot be a filmmaker and live in Port Charles. I laugh when the kids grow up in PC and “Go to College!” That means one of two things, they are either leaving the show or going to PCU which is never shown! Its a waste of time! You can be in the medical field, own a restaurant, be a cop or mobster, thats it! That story they have with his movie on the Haunted Star is horrible! It wastes the talents of Maxie and exposes the lack of talent of Dillon and Lulu!
Hi, susu.
Tell me, Girl…are you perchance, Mrs. Ron? You seem to know his mind so well. Let’s talk. Lol.
Ned is leaving but we’re stuck with a new character played by an actress who cannot act to save her life?
She’s so bad she makes Bryan Craig look like Lawrence Olivier .
But she sure is pretty!
Hilarious! And true!
General Hospital values. Audience is stupid, shallow and of no importance until the ratings go down.
lol.. Lellingw
you are part of the ”audience” hmm you’re calling yourself ”stupid, shallow and of no importance” .. ahaa!
@su.
No Su. I’m pretty sure Lellingw means this is how TPTB see us, the audience…….stupid and shallow. In other words we are of no consequence until the ratings say otherwise.
Thanks, CeCe. Of course that is what I meant. The audience doesn’t mean anything until it hits their bottom line and even then only some of us count. Broadcast survives only because cable is so expensive. If the costs were lowered, broadcast would be out on its behind. Terrible model for television show creation.
Morgan is to GH what Summer is to Y&R! I cringe everytime he appears on the screen!
So true. lol.
And once again substance is sacrificed for looks on a soap. Darby has zero chemistry with Morgan or the teen set. She looks a lot older than they do, and nobody cares about the other three why are we adding another one?
I wish Wally wasn’t leaving, I watch both GH and DOOL, and the Ned character is so much better. Hate to see the Q’s downsizing again. They can’t replace Edward, but how about bringing on a GOOD actor to play his long lost brother or something to lead the family along side Tracy, give him a wife and daughter/son and reignite the Qs
Not sure Jesica can act or if GH needs any more new characters on the canvas at this point, but boy is she stunningly gorgeous. Nothing wrong with some young eye candy on a soap in the afternoon. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
Hi, Adam.
Thank you for NOT saying Jesica cannot act. It just befuddles the mind how anyone can automatically give a review on this girl’s acting when she’s only been on for a whole second. Young actors/actresses need to start somewhere. And, it’s great to see vets on our screen…but, realistically, many of these actors/actresses are older and are at a time in their lives where they do not want to do it any longer. This is what makes the world go ’round. Young people need work; so why not? So what if she is Miss Alabama or Miss USA or whatever….it does not mean she can’t act. Look at Vanessa Williams!!
And, yes, her looks are beyond gorgeous. But, it seems that this is always been the crux of the matter……that is; a beautiful girl’s head is empty of anything else but lipsticks, mascara and clothes….the typical stereotype. It’s kind of old, right? As a female with a well-functioning brain, the compartamentalizing is too close to home. How dare I use my brain and think? This mentality should have made an exit with the Middle Ages. A woman can strut her stuff; her God-given assets, and still be intelligent.
Let’s all watch her for a few weeks, give her a chance , lest we lose all sense of reasoning….. then, I’ll be the first to say yea or nay. Personally, I am tired of looking at no-lips Dillon every day….he and his stupid idea of a movie in tiny-dot-on-the-map that is Port Charles. I love Maxie, but lately all I hear is that nasally, whiny complaining making painful contact with my ear drums. Then, there’s Lulu with stars in her eyes, floating in sit; well, actually…no comment. These women should get a life. Shame on the writers for making them seem to hang on to the men’s coat-tails for every little thing. Ggrrr!!
This movie idea is just too ridiculous to even contemplate. Who’s interested in a run-of-the-mill PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED, overly used concept ? Later.
GH has this knack for hiring young woman with zero acting ability. There’s nothing special about her looks, so what’s the catch GH? GH should focus on the actors already established on the show and stop putting talented actors on recurring status.
Oh, Lordy, Lord. She is stunning. She has perfect features. So sorry, penny, the last thing I want to do is be rude, but, she has not been on the show nary an entire episode. How can we judge?
And, she is a real beauty….I say this without resentment because I am secure in my own skin. Nothing special about her looks? That is your opinion and entitled to it. I see something completely different.
There must be a reason why she joined the cast. I bet it’ll make more sense than bringing Dillon on stage. What’s his purpose? I thought he’d go headlong into getting ELQ back, but, no!!….he’s making a movie; of all things. This storyline is so interesting, it reels me right in. NOT!
I hear you, but on this board I’ve seen people judge new characters on just photo’s alone. You absolutely have the right to your inspection of her, but I don’t see it. If she sticks around long enough maybe she will grow on me, but for now, meh.
@Penny.
You know what I appreciate about people such as you, penny? The fact that we can discuss our opinions, whether we agree with each other or not, in a respectful and adult manner. Thank you.
You are right when you say she may possibly grow on those who are not into her right now. Hey, one never knows, she may surprise all of us. Lol.
I like all the characters that almost everyone that’s posted so far complained about. I LIKE Bryan Craig and his portrayal of Morgan. I think he’s a very emotive actor, good looking if not in the classical sense snd I find his character as the deeply feeling, passionate, wounded Morgan complex and dynamic.
I also like Kiki. I think Erin? Is that her name? Well anyway, the actress to be beautiful and quite convincing. I love her relationship with Franco and I hope that this new budding warming up of Kiki to Nina continues, whether or not she’s her real biological mom. I like the three of them as a family.
Franco. Roger is killing it! They’ve matured him, wrapped him up in a compassionate, protective nature and I find him very likable and sincere. Love Nina and Franco together and I’m loving Nina’s vultnerability as she tries to find normal.
Very disappointed in the brief Ned return. Ned turning his back on Olivia so abruptly and for the reason he gave is totally out of character. Ned would never have done that. He’d want to protect the baby from Julian as he did in the beginning…I doubt he’d be so disturbed by Olivia’s decision to hide Leio’s identity. He’s seen and participated in far worse as a Quartermaine. And the way he left? No emotion…almost cavalierely. Not Ned. Must’ve been one of those masked men…or that’s how they should explain it!
Too much is going on to comment on the wrong goings at GH, but in keeping on the subject of cute Leo– that adorable child looks African American- even Dante isn’t that olive toned 😉
Leo looks African American to me (mixed)
