GENERAL HOSPITAL: It’s Not a ‘Good Morning’ For Alexis After A Night Of Sex With Neil

Courtesy/AB

Monday’s episode of General Hospital had another shocker of an ending.  We already watched last week as Nelle (Chloe Lanier)”fell” to her supposed death, and Carly (Laura Wright) has now gone along with Jax (IngoRademacher) lying to Valerie (Paulina Bugembe) that she lost track of Nelle and she got away.   Now Carly will feel guilty for keeping the truth from Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Sonny (Maurice Benard).  But will she tell Sonny?

Speaking of Sonny, he goes to Turning Woods to visit Mike (Max Gail) and Mike is declining rapidly, and Sonny is trying to hold on to every moment he has with his dying dad.  Later, he asks Carly what happened with Nelle?  She has yet to answer.

Meanwhile, finally, Willow and Michael share a kiss and then later look more into each other than ever as they now have Wylie home safe and sound at the Q’s.

Then in a moment know one saw coming, after Neil (Joe Flanigan) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahm) finally admit to each other how much they want to be with each other, and missed each other, the two share a kiss and Alexis lets him know she wants to have sex with him now. (Of course, she was a bit more subtle than that!)

Basking in the afterglow, Neil says they can take this at their own pace and Alexis says they don’t have to keep their distance; as they have been doing and dancing around each other for months.

In the morning, and after what appears to have been another round of sex. Alexis brings in some coffee to him and is chatting away, when she sees Neil’s feet which are cold and that he is unresponsive.  When she goes to turn him over and touch him he is very pale and cold.  Alexis is stunned.  It would appear that Neil has died.  Fade to black.

In a tweet, following the airing of today’s GH, and the comments from fans, Nancy Lee Grahn kidded,My fiancé after hearing about today’s #GH has requested to sleep in the guest bedroom from now on.”

So, what did you think of the ending of GH?  If Neil is dead, what will happen next to Alexis? if he is dead, are you pissed GH killed him off? Comment below.

My prediction here is that Neil was “self-medicating” with some sort of opiate substance, which of course, Alexis knew nothing about.

Odds are he got some bad drugs, probably laced with Fentanyl and accidentally overdosed. And of course, the source of the drugs will trace back to Cyrus the virus.

Hope they don’t turn this into a serial drug death kind of thing, but they have already dropped hints of Sasha having a cocaine habit, so she will probably be the next one to go.

Sophia mattson is extremely popular so I don’t see her being killed off , I do agree with you about Neal’s sudden passing being linked to cyrus . ( I told all jeff Kober will show u the definition of a bad to the bone monster)

I’d argue that Joe Flanigan is more popular than Sofia Mattsson. Regardless, in a show that needs to trim its cast, both play expendable characters with no family ties to anyone in PC. I say that, even though I like Neil and his relationship with Alexis.

I was just thinking earlier in the episode that the show hasn’t shocked me in a while. Nelle at the cliff wasn’t out of the blue as we knew the character needed a break for a (little?) while. At first, I wanted Alexis to be dreaming, but now hope they stick with it.

The opioid theory is an interesting one. Any chance we can get Peter hooked?

She will be the next to go- Frank Valentini has a budget to cut because of the covid laws.

I hope it does turn into a “serial drug death kind of thing.” They had potential of major kills when Ryan Chamberlain returned to town; instead, only one main character (Kiki) died, and the rest were all one-off burner characters. This could be a way to free-up the canvas and clean things up. I could think of a handful of characters that could be offed, and Sasha is not one of them.

Yes, I am totally pissed!!!!! LOVED the character of Neil and thought they really had a great opportunity to finally give Alexis some real happiness. A real romance for older adults. RIP Neil! Will miss you, Joe Flanagan!!

Shari ! “Thank You” All i’ve ever asked, in like, FOREVER

^^^ “…A real romance for older adults. RIP Neil! Will miss you,Joe Flanagan!!”

this was so easily tolerable… because of all the bad matches we the audience have had to sludge thru…

what a waste

Patrick…I agree what a waste. I liked him with Alexis. It could have been interesting if the writers found a way to get them reinstated into their careers again. In PC you can always use a good lawyer, and with all of the trauma going on a psychiatrist. I have been catching Joe on reruns of Stargate Atlantis. Liked him on this series as well.

I hope it is a dream

I liked Neil, so it is a shame that his character has seemed to have been killed off, especially since I was hoping Walt Disney Television would share his publicity images that were shot last year. This couple had potential, and it is said to see that it has ended.

Also, am I the only one having problems playing episodes on ABC’s website? Has been that way for quite some time. The ads will play, but the episodes will not.

Hello Scott, I LOVE Neil and Alexis and if Neil is dead he/Joe Flanagan will be missed…Scott, YES re:ABC website…it’s the one I always have trouble with, don’t have this issue with CBS, barely watch anything on NBC but when I do most of the time their website works ok…

I have all kinds of issues with the ABC app,I watch on Hulu instead.

a great actor and great character is shown the door.

So not gonna be happy is he’s dead! It starts in my area in just an hour, so I’ll be watching and screaming if he is dead.

Why can’t the writers let Alexis truly be Happy? Neil did that for him why did they kill him off?

Oh Alexis, you underestimated your sexual powers! Seriously, maybe Neil took a little too much Viagra, but I think I underestimated my own wishful thinking. The moment I saw Dante’s Dr. Dr. Kirk, and read that he was going home I said to myself, whoah!there’s the man for Alexis and immediately yelled to the TV, bring him home with you! I did not recognize him as Christopher Cousins from the other soaps he’s been on but I tell you folks, the EYES sold me. He’s one good looking man.

It would be great if we could see a full episode! Interrupted by covid or rioters!

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
