Where’s Nina? I thought Natalia and Heather were off the show but there they are!
Eva La Rue was on last week so not sure why you’d assume she’s “off the show”. And just because an actor wasn’t photographed does not mean they were not invited, either.
Some of us have lives and don’t watch every day.
If you had a life, you wouldn’t be watching GH at all
I’m tired of people being treated like they are dumb for not knowing what is happening with storylines so that was not my point.
Wait, are you suggesting that if you watch a daytime series you have no life? I assure you that we do indeed have lives, careers, families, and passions. However, sometimes we could use a little escapism especially considering the Trumpism-Muskism that is seeking to overtake our country. So yes, us GH watchers have lives. That said, if you truly believe that those who watch a soap have no lives,why did you go out of your way to read an article about a soap, read the comment section, and finally, make a comment?
Politics have no place in these threads … so tired of the incessant need for people to bring politics into everything.
Agreed Soaps alow us to escape, let’s leave it at that.
Bit of a shrill overreaction, don’t ya think?
I agree Harry…zero politics
I love my country! I voted for Trump. and l love General Hospital!! So shut up!
Yes nothing wrong w/ watching a day time show no different from watching something in the evening!! As for the Trumpism comment we will be in better place than we have last 4 yrs for sure!!as for where is Nina I’m sure she had same opportunity to attend, maybe just wasn’t in photos. Alot are not in any photos! Maybe the characters have a life too & couldn’t all attend.
lmao
Me too
My bad. I was just casting shade on the character of Natalia. Eva La Rue is great but Natalia is awful. I was thinking she’d exit stage left with Blaze.
That’s just wishful thinking on Natalia. Heather is out of Port Charles but will likely return sometime later into 2025 (hopefully with a better storyline).
True that, Steve. I am always surprised, and not in a good way, to see Natalia.
Where is Maxi, Olivia, Michael, Drew, Tracy, Cody etc ?…….
Maxi I’m sure is at the dessert table
They “they celebrated a job well-done”? You must be watching a different show.
The very first set of pics at top–the one with 3 together–that sure looks like the actor who played the original TJ. Is that him?
Where was Nina? No one answered on that, I don’t watch all the time just to clarify, lol
She was probably slinking around, see who she can make trouble for. Sorry, I know she’s really liked in real life, but I just cant stand her character. She was just as bad on her old show GL, years ago, always going after someone else’s husband, remember Joshua Lewis and Alan Spaulding, anyone?
Where the heck is Yuri!!…Cy Hobbi is the best!…Where is Yuri!, Where is Yuri!! Most handsome man on the show!! Geez, what’s wrong with you people?
Yes, he’s a neat guy. Wish they would do more with him, like maybe he and Tracy kanoodling in the butler’s pantry or whatever.
So nice to see Kate Mansi and others laugh and ve happy for a change. So sick of their ” woe is me,” moaning and groaning on the show. HAPPY Holidays to all!
Would love to see more pics . Glad the cast and crew had a great time. Hope that all that left the show got to join in, they will be missed and with soaps you never know when they will come back. Best of Holidays to all .
Love this!
I bet Nancy Lee Grahn greeted everyone saying “you’re not allowed to say Merry Christmas!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Carly and Lulu Make Plans to Rescue Their Children; Anna Looks Determined to Secure Her Freedom

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!
In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?
Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
