GH’s Dex Has Been a Shoulder to Cry on for Molly; But is This Leading to Something More?

Although, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) is currently with TJ (Tajh Bellow) and Dex (Evan Hofer) is with Josslyn (Eden McCoy), it seems on recent episodes of General Hospital, the show is teasing a potential Dex and Molly pairing, because why else does it seem like Dex is showing up just when Molly is down in the dumps about all she has gone through?

Soap fans know the signs when a potential pairing might be on the horizon, and many viewers seem to be speculating that this might be what is happening on GH. How the two would end up together as more than friends, but lovers would remain to be seen.

Now, in a new scene from Monday, September 23rd episode of the ABC daytime drama series, Molly heads to a bar for a drink. Dex shows up and she finally lets her guard down and all the bottled up emotion of the realization of how she will never have be able to watch her little girl grow up, hits her. All this, plus trying to come to terms with her sister, Kristina (Kate Mansi) falling through a window and ultimately losing the baby she was carrying as a surrogate for her sister and TJ.

Both Molly and TJ’s relationship as well as Dex and Josslyn’s have not been the most solid, where often it feels like they are one step away from breaking up for good. Is this the set-up here? Could both good people find themselves in a moment where they are drawn together and hit the sheets? Time will tell.

Kristen Vaganos looks to finally be the Molly Lansing-Davis that has stuck, after the departure of Haley Pullos in 2023, and multiple recasts including Holiday Mia Kriegel and Brooke Anne Smith. Vaganos has played the role since September of 2023, marking it one-year since she has been a Davis woman.

Evan Hofer started on GH in 2022, and currently Dex has moved on from working on the wrong side of the law with Sonny Corinthos to the right side of the law at the PCPD and could use a boost in a storyline. Could an affair with Molly be the order of the day?

So, do you see Dex and Molly together in the romance department? Check out their scenes together from Monday’s GH and then weigh-in via the comment section.

Hell no why can’t a people of the opposite sex be just friends. This a disgusting storyline to me interracial romance have go for gh Molly and TJ are going thru rough patch right now. Give time for them to get back on track. If it ever happens I think it won’t. Let Dex get murdered not TJ but someone sonny keeps as backup. Molly loves TJ and tried calling him because he wanted to hear his voice. Then this cracker ass cop sits down and she spilled the beans on her struggles instead of the man she loves. It seems every body opinion on this come from just two incident interactions. It’s everybody website YouTube channel. Is getting off on this false cheating story

She is killing it as Molly-great recast

I am 100% with you, Mike!

NONONONO!!!!
Do not break up the cutest couple in daytime. Dex and Joss are the main reason I watch GH.
He and Molly have no chemistry.

I think the chemistry is building between Dex and Molly, can’t wait to see more scenes together

I hope so. I liked Molly with Dex, Joslyn with Leo, and Trina with TJ.

No need to add any new characters… there are plenty of possibilities with the couples named.

Leo???? Oh, wait, you must mean Gio? Leo is Ned and Olivia’s very young son on the autism spectrum — that would be an interesting story for Joss, but would end up in prison!

I’ve been trying to work out the character ages. Josselyn is maybe 19? Dex has had time for tours of Afghanistan, a year working for Sonny, now police training… he must be 25 or 26? Molly had time to go to college, get a law degree and get promoted to ADA, so she must also be upper 20s? I guess Molly and Dex and more in the same age bracket than Joss.

Joss’s age is a crash course in SORAS failure. You might recall the circumstances of her birth, when Carly gave birth to her in some remote cabin with psycho Claudia Zucchini standing by, who would have kidnapped baby Joss, had her brother Michael not shown up and hit Claudia upside the head with an ax handle. Mikey was 17 at the time , fresh out of a one year coma that had somehow aged him 5 years. Though clearly Mikey doesn’t seem to be 17years older than Joss now.

Then of course, when Joss was still a baby she had kidney cancer. They gave her a transplanted kidney which supposedly came from Jason & Elizabeth’s son Jake, who was allegedly run over by a drunken Grandpa Luke. Jake was 4 years old at the time.

Of course now that entire story has been changed. Jake’s not dead, Luke didn’t run him over, and Joss got her kidney from Psycho Nelle, who was somehow Carly’s adopted younger sister, though they had never met. And while Joss was old enough to vote in the 2020 election (hence the whole “special episode” about the 19th amendment & women voting) which would make her 22 years old now, Jake who should be at least 3 years older than her, is 17 and apparently now at art college in Barcelona (or where ever it was)

So how old should Cameron be then? Since he is older than Jake should he be like 6-7 years older than Joss? Yikes. The age difference with Michael isn’t too bad… if Joss is in her early 20s, Michael would be in his late 30s and he seems to be in his mid-30s. So that one is at least close. But yeah, the Jake-Joss-Cam thing seems like a mess.

For years, Cameron seemed to be the only kid in Port Charles who was immune to SORASing. Fuzzy Devil Memory keeps me from recalling all the exact ages, but if I remember correctly, Cameron was born after Kristina but definitely before Molly. Possibly before Morgan. But all of them were SORASed while Cam continued to age “normally”. Until after Jake’s miraculous return from Cassadine Island and somebody remembered that Cam had to be several years older than him. And that’s when they brought William Lipton in and finally made Cameron a viable character. Too bad he never came back, like he was supposedly scheduled to do. At least they got the occasional one day guest appearances from him, if there’s a funeral or something.

A key reason Cam was not sorased was Rebecca Herbst slow aging process. It would’ve been hard to picture Elizabeth as the mother of a teenager in the 2000’s decade.

Sometimes sorasing doesn’t happen because the child performer makes a memorable mark in the role. Kimberly McCullough (Robin) being the classic example.

Robyn Richards played adolescent Maxie (including the BJ heart transplant story). It wasn’t until she got into her mid-teens that they tried to replace her. The first recast was so poorly received that Robyn was brought back for a year until Kirsten Storms took over Maxie for good (which wasn’t a real soras). Kristina Wagner shares the slow aging gene with Becky, so aging Maxie sooner would’ve been tough.

Yes! My mistake. Gio, not Leo

Joss, Trina, and Cam should be going on 22 or be 22 by now which is why they should no longer be in college. We saw Trina and Joss vote in 2020, so therefore they had to be 18 at that time.

Not everyone graduates college in their early 20s.

Thats a good call. No chem with Molly and TJ. There is just something I like with pairing Dex with Molly. Maybe its the actress. She is so damn good! Geo is nervous and awkward around Joss and its cute. She will not like that he is a fan of uncle Sonny! Eden McCoy will work with the young man and they could be a “Super Couple!”

Trina and TJ would be a hard, hard sell. Even though they are technically not related by blood, they consider each other family. TJ calls Trina’s father Uncle. Even for soaps, it would be creepy to me. Also, again with the ages… Trina must be 19ish. TJ has to be upper 20s. That makes a big difference in maturity levels at that age… TJ literally holds people’s lives in his hands as a resident doctor. Trina is still deciding if she should take some classes at college this semester. I just can’t see them working as couple.

Hold on.. if Trina is 19, then how old is Joslyn? I thought they were the same age.

They should be. Both voted for the first time in the 2020 election. So both of them should be 22 now, since we’re weeks away from the 2024 election.

Both Trina and Joss should be 21-22 right now.

And heck no on a Trina-TJ pairing. It’s bad enough Jordan 3 barely looks old enough to be his mom. Jordan 2 was woefully way too young for that role.

Now, if Curtis and Portia hit the skids, a TJ-Portia hookup would oh so soapy

A TJ – Portia hookup would be just a cringe worth as Willow and Drew.

How about a Gavin Houston return and Jordan and Zeke continue with their short lived romance.

It is so annoying how GH introduces new people… only to disappear with no explanation.

‘General Hospital’s’ Chris McKenna On Jack’s Reaction to Carly Cheating On Him with Valentin: ‘Heartbreak and Absolute Rage and Humiliation’

Published

By

The stage is set for next week on General Hospital, after yesterday’s May 1 cliffhanger, when Brennan (Chris McKenna) sneaks into Carly’s (Laura Wright) house and heads up to her bedroom, bursts in the door and finds her between the sheets, albeit at that moment alone.

However, Jack is already armed with plenty of ammo, he saw two glasses of wine in Carly’s kitchen, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) already lit the fire, by telling him her mother was seeing someone else, the WSB bureau chief then went to visit Carly’s ex, Sonny (Maurice Benard). The mobster’s reaction pretty much sold Jack that Carly must be sleeping with another man.

As Jack goes to check out the situation to confirm his suspicions, Carly and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) have just hit the sheets, after fighting their attraction once again for each other. Now comes the moment of truth that Carly has been sleeping with Brennan’s sworn enemy, Valentin.

In a preview of what’s to come, Soap Opera Digest spoke to both Chris McKenna and Laura Wright where they talked about the upcoming scenes.  McKenna expressed, “This has been coming for such a long time.” He also previews, “Brennan comes at her pretty aggressively.”

THREE’S COMPANY

Wright added, “Carly didn’t expect Brennan to walk into her bedroom! He doesn’t have a key. It’s late at night. She thinks she and Valentin are in the clear. She sees that he’s so angry and so worried about being cheated on… but not that he’s sorry for lying to her face or because her daughter is in danger because of him!”

As to how Jack will handle the situation from here and finding out that Carly is with Valentin, McKenna confirms, to expect, “heartbreak and absolute rage and humiliation” from Jack. He’s thinking, ‘This can’t be real. This can’t have happened. I can’t be this stupid. I can’t have been this blind.’ And as to Jack’s current state of mind, coming into the situation, “Jack is drunk and a little unhinged and the audience finally gets a glimpse of what’s going on underneath that rigid exterior.”

Needless to say, the fallout will be huge, and McKenna is proud of the trios work in the scenes, sharing that Laura Wright was a fantastic as ever, and that GH’s executive producer, Frank Valentini was on the set the entire time with Laura, James and him, making this story point play out to its full effect.

So, are you excited to see how this plays out between Brennan, Carly and Valentin? Do you think this will cement Carly and Valentin as a couple, or will Carly regret what she’s done to Jack? Weigh-in on how you hope this all plays out via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’s’ Kelly Thiebaud on Britt and Cassius Sibling Drama, But Who Will Ultimately Blow His Cover?

Published

on

By

On the April 30 episode of General Hospital, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had some choice words and warning for her brother Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) who has been masquerading as his twin, the very dead, Nathan West.

As the story has unfolded, viewers learned that Britt knew all along that when “Nathan” showed up in Port Charles seemingly resurrected with a missing 7 years of his life unexplained, that Cassius was taking his place.

Now in developments on today’s GH, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is figuring out that this guy pretending to be Nathan is someone else, and Cassius learns from Britt, that Joss is not just a ditzy sorority girl as he claimed, but a WSB agent! The moment stuns Cassius. Are the walls about to close in on him and his charade?

Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest, about the story point and getting the opportunity this time back at GH to work with Ryan Paevey, when she hadn’t had the chance to before.

BROTHERLY LOVE?

Thiebaud expressed on sharing scenes with Ryan Paevey, “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him! When he first came onto the show (as Nathan at the end of 2013) I was kind of heading out — it was right towards the end of my contract, so we didn’t actually work together a ton. It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together. I think we have really great on-camera chemistry and banter with each other. I really enjoy working with him.”

With the stakes at an all-time, Thiebaud explained how she views her on-screen alter-ego’s involvement with her more hot-to-temper sibling and why Britt revealed the truth about Josslyn to him. “People finding out about Cassius would expose what she’s involved in and what she agreed to do,” explains Kelly “And now Josslyn is digging around, and she’s connected to Carly (Laura Wright) to Jason (Steve Burton) and that whole dynamic! It’s messy!”

BRITT’S MURKY FUTURE

Britt has currently also reached her breaking point with Jason being carted away by the WSB, Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) to protect her and Jason, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) being killed after trying to help her, and Cullum holding over her head getting her Huntington’s disease medication to control her symptoms, while blackmailing her into finishing the research on her father, Cesar Faison’s, final project. Thiebaud summed it up best for Britt right now, sharing, “It’s been a really tough time for her.”

So, who do you think will be the person to blow Cassius’ cover? Will it be Britt herself? Josslyn? Liesl? Brennan? Nina? Lulu? Rocco, Maxie, Cullum or someone else? Let us know your pick in the comment section.
