GENERAL HOSPITAL: “He’s The Most Hated Man In Port Charles”

By Michael Fairman

Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) has gone off the rails! And this week on General Hospital, the cult leader who also made Franco’s (Roger Howarth) brain disappear is on the loose, and taking hostages along the way such as baby Wiley; the little boy he thinks is his son! But we all know that’s not the truth, either!

In ABC and GH’s latest promo for the series, everyone is worried, and wants to stop the guy from doing any more harm to the good people of Port Charles and they state that clearly Shiloh is the most hated man in the town of Port Charles.

On Monday’s episode, Shiloh already left Bobbie (Jackie Zeman) by the the side of the road and took Wiley.  He has blackmailed Peter (Wes Ramsey) for “moolah” …. or he will spill the beans on Peter’s involvement with Helena Cassadine and the original kidnapping of Drew.  He is already on sexual assault charges from women for their initiation into the “Dawn of Days” trust.

Meanwhile, Dev (Ashton Arbab) is in the wrong place at the wrong time as he is trying to get out of town and hanging out at the ‘Haunted Star’, when, yup!, Shiloh and Wiley show up.  As Dev tries to call Jason (Steve Burton), he instead gets a hold of Sam (Kelly Monaco), and before he can relay all of his warnings to her, he is knocked out.   Next, Sam shows up at the ‘Haunted Star’ and finds Shiloh with Wiley standing over Dev with a gun.

Watch the promo below:

In the teaser, a shot is fired, but who fired it?  And will this be the official end of Shiloh’s reign of terror? Will there be a murder mystery?  Share your thoughts via the comment section below!

Great actor and would love to see him portray a better character in the future on GH. This Shiloh character was was terrible though. I’m glad that cult thing is wrapping up. It was a stupid storyline.

Agree with you 100%

Please let this be Ramsey’s exit. He’s like an anchor around the necks of Port Charles’ residents. He can’t act, is creepy, and is a wimp!

We can’t say goodbye to Shiloh just yet…his face is in the opening credits.

What’s his face got to do with anything? Billy Miller’s face was in the opening credits then when he was off the show, his face was gone. Same with Garren Stitt and Michelle Stafford The faces change every day.

I was being funny.

Cerberus is patiently waiting for his new chew toy. Come on down, Shiloh….

Hopefully, you will be seeing him soon.There are four others I ‘d like to see bite the dust. I just hope you don’t get too overcrowded there.

Go away, Shiloh–forever!

Shiloh is leaving and it can’t be soon enough.

Wrap up Shilou Wrap up the baby switch. Wrap up Peter Wrap up Valentine and Sasha. Bring back Nicholas and a new Drew. Let Franco be Franco

I wasn’t a fan of the cult storyline. I thought it was cheaply done. Coby, though, is a good actor. He carried out the storyline well; although, the writing was atrocious. Wes Ramsey, he just needs to go. Laura Wright needs to quit her job as his beard. She needs a new focus, other than propping up her untalented boyfriend.

I LOVE Shiloh!!
He is the best thing that has happened to GH in a long time,
He keeps me awake
He is an awesome character;
not a Ray Gardner and not close the other great bad guys Billy Clyde, but Shiloh is all we had since GH became a bad version of The Waltons.

Fact; it’s always been the dark evil bad guys that put the UMMMMPH in a soap, without them a soap is dead in many ways..

Coby is a great actor, he was given a 3 year contract but the Idiots had to kill him off and rid of a great talent.
I dunno- GH wants us to be bored to death by taking every single exciting character out.
Soaps need BAD GUYS!!
GH has become much like a weird monastery thing, all goodie goodies, that’s it all wimpy weenies.

Aww, su, no you don’t! The Walton’s you say? I must say I don’t think of John Boy when I watch GH–EVER! 🙂

suOOO
Yes Su, he does make a good bad guy.but enough is enough, and you know there is another one waiting in the wings to give us another bad guy, so don’t give up hope.

Hey, Suoo, you constantly remind us of how young you are and how all the classic soaps are before your time. How do you know about Bily Clyde, Ray Gardner and The Waltons? BINGO! No, I do not mean you need to run back to your Bingo game in senior rec room but I do mean to say BINGO! You are much older than you pretend to be. Which is okay, but I don’t understand the pretense.

Hi Harry 🙂
you must have read me commenting on my granny soap guru neighbor.
My neighbor is alone and hasn’t missed her soaps in half a decade,
I invite her over for soap nights, she tells of the old days.
many times she had told of Gardner and Clyde.. I have 65” tv I go to youtube and search and play everything there on the two villains and many more for her.
She loves it!! and I’m happy to take her back to the good ‘ol days via youtube.
the Gardner guy raped a nurse! we don’t have that nowadays.

And, after watching those two- Gardner and Clyde, they were magnificent bad guys, outstanding!
the ones we have now are creampuffs in comparison.

00hh and she has tapes of them,and many others, the times they were on that soap.

I don’t have a VCR (an antique) but hers still works! unbelievable, it may be a newer one dunno..
And she has excitingly had me over to watch.

I’ve never asked her age but she must be mid 70’s?
She’s all alone so I don’t mind soping with her its fun, actually.

Coby is doing such a fantastic job of playing one of the ceepiest characters I’ve seen as of late, save for Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) over on B&B.

But I do agree, this story can’t wrap up soon enough.

Michele…”Yes” Shiloh and Thomas….two of the creepiest.

Michael Teale
Oh you are so right about Thomas Forrester. When M.A was on Y&R as Summer’s husband, I never dreamed he could play a part like this one. It got so bad for me, especially with the little boy, etc., I had to stop watching for a while. It was too upsetting. That is another SL I can’t wait to wrap up. I hoped it was over when Thomas went over the cliff, but I was wrong and he’s still causing trouble.

I bet we both have an idea who Katie’s kidney donor will be, right?

I’ve been waiting for a whodunit involving Shiloh. Unfortunately, the trailer seems to show a female pair of hands holding the gun and thus, eliminating all the males. I really hope they don’t cop out and make it willow’s mom, out of jail on stroll, who pulled the trigger. Having a minor character pull the trigger would lessen the impact. I would love to see Shiloh get what’s coming to him, but figure there’s much, much more to play out in this saga.

Rodd
I was thinking it would be Nelle.

Welp, it was…SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t seen it…surprise, surprise! It was girl wonder and a flare gun. That explains the gun’s funny color. But I don’t believe for a moment Shiloh’s dead. November sweeps are coming.

I really didn’t care for the whole Dawn of Day cult story, and how long they’ve dragged it out. And I mean, the fact that he and so many characters constantly break out of prison so easily in Port Charles is one of the most ridiculous and overused plot devices on this show going back many years.

But I will give a lot of credit to Coby Ryan McLaughlin for his performance, he definitely succeeded in making Shiloh a character that I loved to hate. An absolutely smarmy, evil lowlife bastard with no redeeming qualities, and we know that those characters don’t usually have a long shelf life in soaps. Unless you’re an all-time iconic villain like Cesar Faison or Helena Cassadine, and even they eventually finally met their demise (Or have they, lol). I love a good villain, always have.

My thoughts about the storyline aside, Coby did a great job in the role. Not sure what the requirements are for the category, or if he’d be eligible in terms of how many episodes he’s been on, but I could see him potentially making GH 3 for 3 in the Guest Actor category at the Emmys next year, following in the footsteps of Vernee Watson and Patricia Bethune.

I have mixed feelings about this storyline. I have never liked it. I do think Coby has done a great job in playing Shiloh. However there was an author of a book in my bookstore over the weekend with his new book about having been captured and part of a cult at a young age. Somehow he escaped and has been on the cult’s hit list since then. I told him about GH’s Shiloh story, but hadn’t realized how real these cults were. So while I didn’t like this story, I guess it has alerted us to them and all of their horrible things they can do…and worse things listening to the author. Must admit I got a really eerie feeling talking with him, and even when he shook my hand. And coincidentally while I’m writing this comment the coyotes are howling in the conservation area adjacent to my home right now which adds to the eerie. Shiver! But I do wonder if the effects will truly ever leave the author even though he is free.

Awesome actor!

Get rid of Shiloh he is getting boring and so are the writers they need to get new ones this is ridiculous that Michael don’t know that that Wiley is his son Brad needs to go to prison and stay there

this storyline was based on a real cult/pyramid scheme court case going on. NXIVM – look it up. the sacrifices, the sex, the branding… its all there. maybe gh cant write an ending until real case is wrapped up.

Christy…thank you. This is the first recollection I have of the real-life NXIVM being mentioned in this forum. It’s why I started watching GH again, having gotten frustrated with Y & R, because an article about the horrifying NXIVM events referenced the parallel storyline on GH. Coby Ryan McLaughlin was dreamy on his short Y & R stint, and his nuanced performance as Shiloh conveyed (to me, at least) how people could fall under his spell. Kudos to this talented, sexy actor. “Boring”? Not in my book. Equal parts smarmy and charming. Though I will concede that the writers –who obviously did their research–did seem to wrap things up rather hastily. Maybe because so much audience reaction (like these I’m reading on MFTV) have been so negative. Or for the reasons you mentioned, Christy. Personally, I would have liked to have seen more of Shiloh’s “charming” side rather than rush to making him a standard soap villain. But the offshoot is, I’ve grown to love GH again as a result…on my daily DVR replacing Y & R. Lots working in Port Charles!

I saw him at the GH fan club event last July. Steve Burton held the mic and I told them, you know Shiloh had been on the show long enough everyone wanted to throttle him (Steve said, like me!) and then I saw you (coby) on Ncis and his character there got nabbed off the sidewalk and tossed in a van, and i was like YES!! We all laughed. Coby laughed and said he wasn’t sure if anyone saw that.. and hey, I think I was a good guy on that show… I said I didnt care. I was in need of Shiloh getting payback, so I enjoyed it, even if it was a different show.

A while later we walked thru the doorway at the same time, I looked up to see who I was walking with and said to him, Oh its you again, grrrr! and faked a fist at him. we both laughed.

Satan
Shiloh’s finally gone. Let us know when he gets there just to be sure.

Yeah, we had one Hell of a party down here last night to welcome him to Hell.

Cerberus has never been happier with a new chew toy!

Yeah, wait until the most hated man in the United States is descended for an eternal stay. Yes, I am talking about the orange one. As Shiloh said to Jason, “God, I am sick of you.”

Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)

Published

By

Maura West and Kelly Sullivan

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!

Steve Burton Reportedly Signs Three-Year Contract with ‘General Hospital’

Published

Steve Burton

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?

Published

Jason and Britt

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.
