GH Head Writers Preview What’s Next; Now That Brook Lynn Confessed to Chase She Gave Birth Once Before

General Hospital dropped a big bombshell in an unexpected way on yesterday’s Thursday, February 20th episode, when after having conflict over the fact that Chase (Josh Swickard) can never father a child and give Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) the child she desperately wants, she comes clean to her husband that she has been pregnant once before and that she had a baby.

Now, GH co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten, tease that the reveal and the fallout will affect many character on the canvas, and in particular, Lois (Rena Sofer), Gio (Giovanni Mazza), Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins).

As GH viewers know on a recent episode, Lois told attorney Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) that Brook Lynn had a child by Dante and that child is living at the Quartermaine mansion, and its Gio Palmieri.

Korte and Van Etten spoke to Soap Opera Digest on the storyline turn and share that Chase’s reaction to the news is, “rightly furious, not at Brook Lynn, but at the situation. He hates to think of the pain his wife underwent; and it kills him even now to see her turmoil over the son she gave up, the son she’ll never know. The only biological child she may ever have, thanks to Chase’s own medical setback.”

However, Brook Lynn has no idea what happened to her child. The writers said on the back-story, “Lois and Brook Lynn have long kept this secret, with able assistance from Gloria. But there’s still another secret layered in: Brook Lynn was led to believe her son was given away to strangers. But Lois and Gloria schemed to keep the baby in the family, delivering him to a distant Cerullo cousin. Brook Lynn has no idea that her long-lost son grew up right before her eyes.”

With Lulu finding out from Dante that Brook Lynn and Chase can never have a child, looks like she will stick her nose in to the situation, and do a deep dive if it means finding justice for Dante, and locating his son.

As Korte and Van Etten tell it, “If she (Lulu) learns Dante has a kid, and that kid’s existence was kept from him, Lulu would stop at nothing to bring it to light… Lois and Brook Lynn be damned. The truth about Gio’s heritage would rock the Quartermaines, the Corinthoses, the Cerullos, the Falconeris, and Gio himself… but would anyone thank Lulu for it?”

So, how do you see this saga playing out? Will Lulu be the one to discover that Gio is Dante and Brook Lynn’s son and hold the information to herself or reveal it to Dante? If Chase finds out Brook Lynn had a child with his best friend, how could their friendship last … and if Brook Lynn finds out her mother lied to her all these years, what do you think would happen to their relationship?

Korte and Van Etten should go hide somewhere instead of releasing interviews. If they think they are doing a good job with GH they are wrong. And the constantly declining audience is proof of that.

They should be fired for the crap that they’v unleashed, I’m still recovering for how bad 2024 turned out to be for GH, all the characters they got rid of and the silly plot twist. It was all to much.

This is exactly what I was afraid of . Poor Geo, being dropped into the Q’s, but not without his Nono’s help and interference. He’ll inevitability wish he’d stayed in Brooklyn., speaking of which, Brook Lynn will undoubtedly smother him to death to make up for lost time, oh Mama Mia!

Chase is so wasted on Chaste(Brook Lynne).

I’m really not sure which I detest the most, the actress or the character, HELP!

bring back Carlivatti he was better than these two

He’d write well for one year and go off the rails with silly plots or have vendettas against actors he asked Frank to bring back.

The only way a return of his would work was if a co-head writer had equal say in character development.

Of course Lulu will stick her nose in, that’s what she does best. i’d hoped she’d changed some, but guess not. I sure hope Dante doesn’t fall for her stuff again. I always felt that she would love his job as detective, always butting in to his work, trying to solve mysteries, etc with Maxi as her side-kick.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: If Jason Leaves the Mob, What Will He Do Next?

Published

Steve Burton

As had been teased since Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) captivity by the WSB and his release on General Hospital, he is clearly having issues speaking about what happened to him, after he was dragged away from Port Charles when he took the fall for Rocco (Finn Carr) who shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

Now. as Jason tries to reacclimate to life back in Port Charles, he has already displayed that he wants to do better for his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and the people he loves and to show up for them.

In addition, things took a turn on the Friday, July 31 episode where after Sonny (Maurice Benard) questioned Jason if he was having an issue with Ric (Rick Hearst) working side by side with his half-brother, Jason had something to say.

An emotional Jason tells Sonny, “I can’t work for you anymore.” The moment left Sonny dumbfounded, and viewers won’t know the pick-up of the conversation till Monday’s August 3 episode of GH.

Could it be that this time Jason will cut ties with Sonny and the mob for good? If so, it would be the end of an era for Jason and Sonny, sort of the Batman and Robin of GH with a twist.

Previous teases from the GH co-head writing team of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, and Burton himself on his podcast That’s Awesome ,seem to indicate there is a change coming for Jason that sends him off in a different path in his life.

However, we should learn Jason’s reasons shortly, and if Sonny can talk him back into the mob, or can just wish Jason the best and let him go. But now the question becomes, if Jason exits life as Sonny’s right hand man and henchman, what do you see him doing with his life? We do know that Jason is aware that Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) has tied to the WSB, since he escorted him to Port Charles via Jakarta on the plane which may be a clue.

Weigh-in below: Do you want Jason to go work for the Quartermaines and truly join the family in full? Do you see him doing something to help those in need, or do you see him going undercover with the WSB to expose some of the treacherous things they perpetrated on him and others, or do you see Jason doing something completely different with his life? If so, what? Let us know your hopes and thoughts for Jason in the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ethan Lovett Hightails Out of the Country, Christian Howard Wraps His Stint

Christian Howard

That was quick! Christian Howard, who now looks to have literally stepped in for Nathan Dean to wrap up a few episodes for the character of Ethan Lovett made a quick exit on Friday’s July 31 episode of General Hospital.

GH viewers were stunned earlier this week on the Monday, July 27 episode when a voiceover announcer shared that Christian Howard was now playing Ethan Lovett. Next, Ethan hits the sheets with Ava Jerome, played by three-time Daytime Emmy-winner, Maura West. All seemed to be moving forward when suddenly at the end of the Thursday, July 30 episode, Ethan spots newcomer Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) at the Metro Court Pool, and makes a quick getaway.

Then, it’s revealed after packing his bags at Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) house, that out of nowhere, Ethan received a lead on an incredible opportunity so he has to say goodbye to Lulu and run out of town and was leaving Port Charles.

RUNNING OUT OF TOWN

In fact, Ethan was in such a hurry, he forgot to say goodbye to Ava who had been waiting for him at the Metro Court pool. There is clearly a connection to Hudson and baby Phoebe after Ethan spotted the guy, because Ethan also glanced over to the baby and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) at the Metro Court pool, before he ran to Lulu’s to pack his things. All of this points to Howard being an emergency recast for Dean.

It’s definitely been a week of change on-screen on the ABC soap with the news of Maxie, Spinelli, James, Georgie and Bailey all suddenly leaving Port Charles for Australia, after Spinelli got an offer he could not turn down.

That exit was written because Kirsten Storms is at this time,, and the very foreseeable future, not returning to General Hospital and is living in Tennessee. As she had documented via her Instagram stories and posts, she has been going through several personal ordeals. In addition to Storms, Ryan Paevey also exited the series earlier this month when he ended his run as Cassius Faison, while leaving the door open for his return down the line.

So, will newcomers Kelly Kruger (Serena Baldwin), Dean Geyer (Tristan Roberts) and Troy Lennon Appel fill the void of the multitude of exits? What are your theories on Christian Howard’s departure as Ethan Lovett on GH? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘Knots Landing’ Favorite Donna Mills Joins ‘OnlyFans’

Donna Mills, who at 85-years-old is still turning heads, booking film and TV roles and co-hosting the We’re Knot Done Yet podcast with her Knots Landing pals, Michele Lee (ex-Karen) and Joan Van Ark (ex-Valene), is now joining the world of Only Fans.

The news came Mills herself in a statement, where she shared to Variety, “I’ve always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I’ve received from my fans over the years. Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected, but I’m excited to join OnlyFans because it offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection.”

While OnlyFans is primarily known for its steamy content, Mills is taking a different approach, explaining that she will be “sharing moments from my daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way. It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am.”

WHY DID DONNA MILLS JOIN OTHER CELEBRITIES ON ONLYFANS?

Andy Bachman, CEO Creators INC who presides over OnlyFans also shared in a statement, “This is not about changing who she is. It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love. Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time. She told me, ‘YOLO — let’s do it,’ and that perfectly captures her attitude. She is approaching OnlyFans on her own terms and creating a space that feels authentic, personal and completely true to her.”

Mill’s move to OnlyFans comes on the heels of others in Hollywood who are pivoting to the platform not only for its revenur, but to control their own narrative of what they want put out into the world about themselves. One example is Shannon Elizabeth of American Pie and Scary Movie fame, who told Variety that since April she has earned more than $1.2 million in seven days via her OnlyFans account.

FROM THE CUL DE SAC AT SEAVIEW CIRCLE TO PORT CHARLES

While Donna Mills is best- known for her role as Abby Cunningham Ewing on Knots Landing from 1980-1989, 1993, she also won a Daytime Emmy for her role of Madeline Reeves on General Hospital. Mills played the evil mother to Nina Reeves (then Michelle Stafford) and sister to Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) from 2014-2015 and again in 2018.

The veteran actress also had a leading role in the soap opera, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, where she and GH’s late, great sister, Leslie Charleson (ex-Monica Quartermaine, GH) played sisters Laura and Iris Donnelly from 1967-1970. Mills began her soap career on The Secret Storm back in 1966.

So, what do you think of Donna Mills joining OnlyFans? Do you think the once exclusive provocative content platform, which is going more Hollywood, will ultimately be where big named celebrity post their own content?
