General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Jason Come Face To Face In Heart-Stopping Cliffhanger!
Courtesy/ABC
The final moments of Monday’s episode of ABC’s General Hospital ranks right up there with one of the most “OMG, what’s going to happen next?” cliffhangers in quite some time in soapland.
For in it, Patient Six (Steve Burton),who appears to be the real Jason Morgan, comes face to face with the man everyone has been calling “Jason” (Billy Miller) for the last few years. But that’s not the only person who got the surprise of their lives, as so too did Carly (Laura Wright)!
In the set-up, after Patient Six rescues Sam (Kelly Monaco) from drowning in the pier after a confrontation with Klein (Gene Farber), he revives her. For a split second, Sam sees the man who looks like the old Jason she fell in love with and mutters how he found her. Then, she lapses back into unconsciousness. Six picks up Sam and takes off … but where is he headed?

Meanwhile at the Corinthos home, Carly questions Sonny (Maurice Benard) as to who the guy who dropped from the skylight at the launch party was. He keeps telling her it’s his best friend, Jason. An emotional Carly is having a hard time believing this intel!
Carly yells at Sonny recounting that if the guy who dropped down from the skylight at the launch party was the real Jason, where has he been for the past five years? What about all the DNA proof they had proving that “Jake Doe” was “Jason Morgan”?
Next, an irate Jason barges into Sonny’s house demanding to know who Sonny was with at the launch party, and who were those armed men? He also wants to know what he saw on the surveillance footage … who was the fourth guy that Sonny came to the party with? Jason also wants to know where the hell his wife is!
Just then, Patient Six arrives through the balcony of Sonny’s house, and holding an unconscious Sam in his arms! When he walks in Carly turns and sees him … so does Sonny … and so does Jason!
What did you think of the final moments of Monday’s GH? What do you think will happen next? Are you enjoying the tale of two Jasons thus far? Comment below!

I wanted MORE! Hated that the soap was over. Patient 6 is Jason, and Billy Miller must be Drew. The storyline is on FIRE!
Agreed. Patient 6 has to be Jason Stone Cold Morgan.
hell yeah i’m enjoying the tale of the two jason’s, the cliffhanger was awesome, thank goodness it didn’t fall on a friday, it would of been a long weekend, hopefully everything goes smoothly today, and GH is on. I can’t wait.
Jason will table any questions he has – he’ll be too concerned with getting Sam to the hospital (where she should have been taken in the first place). Carly will continue in denial until she sees some sort of proof (DNA?) since her pride is invested in having identified Jake Doe as Jason originally. Sonny will continue throwing Jason under the bus, insisting that Patient 6 is the “real” Jason. Patient 6 will be frustrated that Carly won’t just take his word, and may finally realize there is a long road ahead if he is indeed Jason, and has to… Read more »
I think Carly knew the moment she saw Jason storm into the back door of Sonny’s house carrying an unconscious Sam, that she was seeing the real Jason.
You could see realization washing over her face.
The reason Jason didn’t take Sam to the hospital is he knew he and she were being pursued by dangerous men. He took her to Sonny’s for the sake of safety.
Absolutely right Harry.
Yes, Diane, Sonny is so pathologically selfish and disloyal, he’s already dismissed nuJason. Did you see that haughty, smug shrugging of the shoulders when Billy begged him for help in finding Sam? Heartless! I’ve always wondered why Sonny is so disliked on this site….now I see why. If they start treating Billy as the bad guy here, I’ll be FAST FORWARDING even more than I do for Oscar and Josslyn.
Ugh! I agree, Soaphound. It’s one thing for Sonny to believe Steve Burton is Jason; it’s another for him to turn his back and treat Billy’s Jason with such disdain. One would think he would still have feelings of friendship for the latter while at the same time be understandably confused. Perhaps even explain to him that there’s something going on and he’ll explain it to him when he can, etc.
Steve Burton’s Jason coming back doesn’t negate the two years of friendship “Billy’s” had with Sonny and Carly and all he’s sacrificed for them. Really despicable!
Sonny felt betrayed by Jason Doe. Can he not have feelings?
Awwwww. Poor Billy…I mean Jason2….
You got it, Soaphound….you always do. Sonny is not someone one wants to hug….he’s pathetic and so is/are his sidekick(s) : Carly and Michael.
What will happen to Billy Miller? Jason or Drew? Will he be given ‘the cold shoulder’?
This is starting to lookk like MM on Y&R. Does Maurice have that kind of power?
Billy will always be the outsider.
I’m all for this story as long as Billy Miller doesn’t get screwed. Great idea of having Steve Burton back but I would be pissed if Billy Miller became the sacrificial lamb for the sake of telling this story.
i have been saying the same thing ever since they announced that steve burton was coming back to gh………………….
Oh James, thanks for saying what I’ve been dreading since the news of Burton returning. Suddenly Sonny is referring to the man (Billy/Jason) who saved his life repeatedly as “that guy who isn’t you” and shrugs defiantly when Billy/Jason desperately needed his help locating Sam. Sonny is disloyal and a spoiled child. And apparently the writers, etc are so enamored of the underemoting Mr. Burton that even a great actor and 3- time Emmy winner like Billy get pushed aside. Shame on them!
Well MB did it on twitter then tried to walk it back according to my sister but she does not care because she wants Billy back on Y&R lol
Again, Soaphound, there are not enough negative adjectives to describe Sonny. One of the posters ( can’t remember who) had said that Jason1 was not so “black and white”. Well, I think Six is not so black and white either. Too many unanswered questions. Is he really Jason? Or Drew? Is he really a Q? I am going back to my original theory and say Franco is the Q—who are the twins? At the risk of sounding repetitious, Susan and Alan—or Susan and Edward could be Franco’s bio parents. Many pooh-poohed on my theory–I don’t know—I do not want TPTB… Read more »
Although I have come to truly like Burton as an actor—considering how indifferent I was to Dylan for most of his tenure on Y&R—- I love Billy Miller more, Soaphound. So, if I had to choose I’d pick Billy to stay forevermore. I have been smitten since his AMC days, soooo….. Are we sure Burton is staying indefinitely? I love the story, nonetheless—very curious; and, looking forward to know what happened to Drew and where he had been all these years before he showed up in PC. The thing is, we don’t know if Six is the real Jason. If… Read more »
Billy did so much with just his expression at the end! Had to rewind and watch that scene again.I can’t wait to see more today.
The snail’s pacing of the first Jason return was mind numbingly dull and it was ultimately anti climatic.
The writers and Steve Burton have more than made up for that,. Even Sonny and Carly are suddenly interesting with both LW and MB pulling out some emotionally compelling performances out of themselves. I think Billy Miller is about to finally wake up out of somnolent state. GH has been providing truly outstanding soapy escapism which strikes an affinity with its days of yore.
It’s as if Maurice B and Laura W had “FLATLINED”….
Steve arrived just in time, “paddles” in hand-ready to revive them.
Thank goodness he’s come home!..As far as Sam’s concerned
Andrew can have her…boring & humdrum deserve each other.
Authentic,Original Jason needs a fresh take on LOVE…
“Authentic,Original Jason needs a fresh take on LOVE… ”
absolutely… course, now, I don’t want Billy Miller (Drew) ??? stuck with Sam
it’s leaving me with no other recourse.. will I ever see the Billy Miller of ole ?
will I ever see the Michelle Stafford of ole?
will I ever see the Michael Easton of ole? the list seems endless
same goes for Roger Howarth.
why is it that easy on the eyes gets a let
course that can’t be said about Sonny any more. he is dragging this show
Hello Fanny (said in my best Omar Sharif impression).
I could not agree with you more.
Honestly, for me it was hard to tell that Sam had been drugged because she always acts so somnolent.
@Harry, you’re so funny & I totally agree with you.
Hi, Fanny, ….I can almost guarantee that if Billy/Jason were free of Sam, he would not be so “humdrum”, LOL. I love Billy Miller….not as Jason2, so much…. Mayhap, I was infatuated with Bad Boy Billy Abbott—he had personality; not this mumbling ( what a contagion, Fanny) phenomenon espoused from Sam. Why is this character so embraced by TPTB? I wish I could see the attraction; I seriously do. Nevertheless, I have a newfound appreciation for Steve, propelling me to look forward to his ‘dealing’ with Sam Will I see a difference in her one-dimensional personality? …I think I shortchanged… Read more »
Did you guys hear Andre say that “patient 6” is running around “thinking” these people are his family? Also, wasn’t it rumored that Steve Burton was only staying for nine months? Even though I haven’t decided conclusively who’s who…all evidence seems to indicate Burton is the real Jason…but I (and others) have thrown in other theories/guesses…I doubt Steve would be the real Jason if he’s planning on leaving again. And what’s up with what Andre said? (even if Burton was Drew…it would still be his family.) Unless Franco is the Q and Billy and Steve are Baldwins!
@Rebecca,
Steve mentioned he signed a 3 year contract …Thank goodness!!!
@Patrick…
Agree W/U wholeheartedly, you’re preaching to the choir ‼️
Steve signed a three year contract. It’s the storyline that is supposed to last 9 months, which will likely involve solving the mysteries of who was holding Jason prisoner in Russia (neither Klein nor Maddox were calling the shots, obviously) and also the gaps in Andrew’s life, since we have no idea what happened to him after Frodd threw him down the stairs as a child up until the time he turned up as a popsicle in the custody of the Cassadines. The one possible thing we may know about his life is that he had a wife who looked… Read more »
Thanks Fanny and Steve. I didn’t know Steve had signed a three year contract…great news! (let’s hope GH is still on!) Satan: (LOL, I do feel weird writing that name! Can I call you Sat for short? 🙂 ) I’m not convinced Franco threw Drew down the stairs. His mom said she assumed he did but she didn’t see it. And I’m not sure Drew ever had a wife (Carly look-a-like or not; he just THINKS he did because those are the memories that were planted in his mind. As for being Oscar’s son that’s definitely an interesting theory and… Read more »
edit: Oscar’s father..
us not we, the audience
Uggggg! LOL..another correction!! Thanks Satan (yikes! still can’t get used to saying that. How ’bout Lucifer…at least that’s the name of that hot dude on “Lucifer”! Great, fun show by the way ) not Steve! Sorry; brain fog. Fell asleep at 3am…up by 7am.
Interjection? Oh, no, no. I was part of the group which you alienated from this forum. Remember Maureen, Helen, Gary, Frank and others? I was part of those who had the nerve to stand up to you and call you out for constantly harassing Celia and Shay. I have been watching for years. I never felt the need to comment until I read all those nice people having had their fill with you. Shay is a lady and she doendn’t even bother answering you. The same goes for Celia. You even started on Timmm, as well as Su0000, a few… Read more »
LOL!!!! Francesca…I just took a quick peek at your long bullshite diatribe and I only got halfway through it. I don’t believe a word you’re saying. You’re some person who appeared out of nowhere…and no “almost 60-year-old woman” would be taking the side of two females who constantly put down older females. Shay and CeeCee/Celia comment on age constantly! From wrinkled boobs to overactive sex drives of too–old–women, to the latest “Anna’s getting comment that Kelly Monaco should be told she’s not the “spry dancer in 6-inch heels anymore…somoene should tell her that hahahaha…” Sorry! I will say it ONE… Read more »
THIS was absolute GOLD! This ending on Monday was retro 80’s! Gloria Monty would be proud!
She certainly would be Timmm !!!
The storyline involving so many characters & revolving around
Steve is exciting,and SO worth it !!! This is why we watch.
Eye contact ALONE‼️ Between Carly & Jason (Steve) ELECTRIFYING ‼️‼️
This was a tumultuous scene, my T….agreed. I loved it—I anticipated the two Jasons’ first meeting. It was just as I envisioned it.
The pent-up emotions–love, anger, confusion emanating from Six was pure artistry—great acting.
Six’s eyes screamed fury and helplessness–all under control. Amazing!!
Oh, how much I loved the Gloria Monty era!
LOL, dmr. Unfortunately for me, I do not know the Gloria Monty days…..she must have been something, eh?
If what I have been witnessing these last couple of weeks where Burton/Six is concerned; then yes—Brava, Gloria; bravi, TPTB.
@CeeCee….Gloria Monty’s reinvention of GH turned the traditional soap opera genre on its head in such a way that whilst often imitated, it was never equaled by any of the competition during her reign as the “Doyenne of Daytime Drama.” The mere fact that her beloved signature characters and unforgettable storylines are still held up as the gold standard amongst many longtime fans of the show says it all. So, yes, she was indeed “something!”
I adore this show. It’s on so much fire right now. 🙂
This is the most exciting story line that GH has had in a very long time. I continue to be “wowed” by the story and the acting. Can’t wait to see how this plays out!
Yes, the cliffhanger was soapy goodness, but once again had me questioning why Jason’s (either one) first instinct is not to bring Sam to the hospital run by his mother? It’s the end of October in update NY, so that water would have been rather chilly. Someone I care about almost drowned, may have hypothermia and I’m going to bring her to the mobster’s house? I guess he’ll try to say it’s the safest place in PC. Minor point, I know it was done to advance story, but Oscar (and his yet-to-be seen mom) get a set while Griffin apparently… Read more »
That’s funny, but true, Steve. Griffin is homeless. LOL.
I am beginning to wonder why Oscar is given so much ‘room’…..
I think his absentee father must be either a mobster ( who will soon make an appearance), or some kind of billionaire ( Wes Ramsey).
A great twist would be if his mother were the mobster.
@ CeeCee…Wes Ramsey and Laura Wright R dating…
@Fanny.
Hi, my lady,
Yes, I saw that, the other day. I wonder what role he will be playing. …..Oscar’s father is a possibility?
We shall see. Also, I anticipate seeing Laura and Wes interact…..LOL.
A bientot.
@CeeCee…What if he is actually a recast Prince Nicky under an assumed name and with a brand new face???
@Shay. Yes, my Shay…..Hmmm…..Prince Nikolas ( Nikolai) in disguise? Good guess, Shaybelle. I am sure Nikolas is alive. Valentin is too self-assured when speaking of him….almost too cocky. Another guess? The strange ‘relationship’ Klein has had with him may have to do with Nikolas. Somehow, I sensed they knew each other….I mentioned it, but then I swept it under the rug. I bet Cassandra has her fragile, little hand in this, as well. What a gallimaufry of ‘what-ifs”, suggestions, and suppositions, Shay. This entire story is inundated with lunacy; swimming, actually, in murky waters. Interesting but unnerving…..a maelstrom of too-much-all-at-once… Read more »
Jason didn’t take Sam to the hospital because he doesn’t know he could trust there. Monica he could, obviously (once she stopped freaking out about him being there) but she’s the Chief of Staff and can’t be everywhere at once. The people who were holding him hostage & drugging him in Russia already have at least one mole in place at GH. This so called pathetic version of “Franco” – a man Jason thought he killed, and for good reason – is employed there as a #$%^@ “art therapist”. He could probably trust Griffin, but their meeting in Russia was… Read more »
Don’t assume Billy Miller is Andrew. This story is far from over.
Absolutely, Steve!…I am expecting a huge twist…or two…or three…to this tale before it’s truly told since it would be awfully anti-climactic to simply take Burton’s character at “face value” as being RealJason and leave it at that too soon….Quite frankly, the actor has been playing his role with such an uncharacteristic intensity and passion that was generally devoid in his previous personage of “Stonecold,” that I am already wont to doubting he is actually the authentic Mr. Morgan…Then again, the fierce warrior nature he instinctively unleashed during his immensely satisfying beatdown of his arch-nemesis Franco certainly rang true for the… Read more »
Satan, you said there is no possible way Helena is implicated in this; so, do you have any idea, who “Big Brother”/ Sister is?
I can think of a couple–Faison and/or Jerry??
Also, where do you think Valentin fits into all this?
Not to worry about Griffin’s seeming lack of residence, Steve….I’m sure he’ll be shacking up at “Chez Ava” in short order what with the rate those two are going at it these days!
As I said yesterday, Shay; there needs to be a twist. As you say, a huge one. It would not be soapy enough if it didn’t…..one of such a magnitude that it will stun us. Do you think I’m being too melodramatic? Well, aren’t the Cassadines of that caliber?
….must be all those Halloween movies we watched…..
Alas, Shay. Maura has that IT factor which is soooo rare ( It’s been haunting me all my life, LOL) ….beauty alone does not cut it—it’s the sex appeal, it’s the ‘look but don’t touch’ effect, it’s the ‘je ne sais quoi’ force….all attributes which contribute to the whole package. Another example is Bree Williamson. There are many beautiful women who are blah because they lack that innate God-given, natural sensuality. No matter how they try, it just isn’t there. The same goes for men. I am really drawn to Griffin. I can honestly call him beautiful…..he has the perfect… Read more »
Yeah…Dr. Feelgood, Shay!!
That last scene was one of the best in a long time. In my area the show was interrupted earlier in the episode. I was very glad that I only missed about 15 minutes in the middle. Fans wait for a very long time to see these scenes. It’s just a shame that the news can’t be broadcast during regular “news” programming instead of interrupting for every little thing.
Hi, Carol,
I’m not sure of what interruption you’re speaking; but, in the NYC area programming was interrupted because of the terror attack in Manhattan. BREAKING NEWS, worthy of interruptions…. Eight people are dead, if not more…..
I don’t consider the loss of innocent human life, “a little thing”….I hope you are not referring to that murderous act ?!?!
But yet half of Americans continually piss all over Trump because he wants a wall and he wants to end Isis. What will it take to give this president a chance? God bless the victims in Manhattan.
No, I most certainly wasn’t referring to the terrorist attack in NYC on Tues. I was referring to a news item regarding the arrest of P. Manafort etc. by the FBI. That news had already been covered earlier in the day. This took place on Monday not Tuesday. No need to attack me unless you’re certain of what I meant.
Well said, Celia. Especially when there are always other ways to watch the show if it’s interrupted during airtime. Not like years ago.
@Timmm.
Oh, T….what’s the point? It will never sink in, my love. The focus is not what’s good for this country….but somewhere else.
I have young ones to worry over……what will their world be like? Scary prospect.
Completely fake news!
Carol, I live in the West and yesterday’s entire GH was interrupted for the breaking news reporting on the Isis terrorist attack on civilians in NYC. I certainly think that news is worthy of interrupting daytime programming. However, I remember the days when there would be an announcement from the local station that today’s program would be shown at the two am and then one could DVR it. I am not seeing that type of announcement anymore. I know you can catch it on HULU or Youtube. I tried watching yesterday’s episode on Youtube yesterday because I do not get… Read more »
How messed up is that, Harry??? Now if it were Sonny saying to Jason/Not Jason/#6 that exact same dialogue, well then , it would have made perfect sense!
You have that in reverse, Carol. I did not attack you, …..you have just attacked me. I wonder, “Carol”. I was very polite. As I stated, I said, ” I hope ….”, meaning, I was not sure if you meant the cowardly act of murder in the City. Read my comment again, with a different, ‘eye’ ….I am sure you will be able to decipher its meaning. As far as Manafort (sp)……we need to know what went on between 2009 and 2014, don’t you think? Fraud, Foundations, foreign accounts etc. All acts against our peoples, our country. I love my… Read more »
Oh my G-d, Celia. I don’t think anyone else is getting your “quote marks” over everyone’s name that you’re having a conflict with, LOL, but I KNOW that you think it’s me under a different name. I think it’s hilarious! I must admit I enjoy reading your various confrontations with other people; you seem to think you’re a perfect poster and never antagonize anyone. Oh! And that statement you made about “everyone gets a turn” if they say something offensive and it comes back to themd. I guess it’s been coming back to you. There’s no way to convince you… Read more »
WOW, GH is killing it. AWESOME!!!!!
Loving this story and this cliffhanger.
Both GH and Days have shown improvement…i might start watching regular again, especially now that i noticed Days is On Demand…
Carly could get pregnant just by the way she looks at Jason…Sonny could get pregnant just by the way he looks at Jason too….what a love triangle—.lol
Belly laughs, Jimmy. I am laughing so hard….tears streaming down my cheeks.
I feel guilty laughing considering what’s going on in the City…..Prayers…..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, and both characters would so love that, too!
Oh, Jimh, that’s similar to my thoughts. Sonny is waaayyy too into Old Jason, in every way. I’m surprised Sonny doesn’t get a crew cut and start furrowing his brow whenever he needs to act. I know it’s too late now, but I’d rather new Jason and Franco were related. Billy Miller and Roger Howarth are more resourceful actors and would make a sizzling fraternity.
That was GOOD‼️
I think pretty much the whole of Port Charles will be “getting pregnant” by “The Individual” before his true identity is actually ascertained, jimh! Everywhere he goes he is getting that same amazed reaction by one and all…and Steve Burton’s riveting performance is making it deservedly so!
Burton is the real Jason so Miller must be Drew. Where was Drew all those years until he came to PC with a case of amnesia. Could be Oscar’s father?
I think Tamara Braun will be Oscar’s mother, and Drew will be his father. But, I could care less who the kid’s parents are..not interested in the “teen scene.” UGH!
Things seem to be pointing in that direction, with Andrew as Oscar’s father and the new character Kim (who will look a lot like Carly 2.0) being his mother. This puts Andrew in San Diego about 15 years ago, though we obviously have no idea why he was there, let alone where he was before that, or where he was after that. San Diego is a big Navy town though, and the fact that Andrew seemed to adapt to his brother Jason’s skill set being programmed into his brain by Helena Cassadine does suggest he might have had similar training… Read more »
I follow your reasoning, Satan….but, how do we know which Jason is Andrew?
Please help me with any clue.
As far as I can see, we don’t really know, do we? Either one fits the timeline? ….maybe??
I think the new actor, Wes (Laura Wright’s boyfriend) will be Oscar’s dad.
He might be somebody Oscar THINKS is his dad (since I think it’s only a short term role for Ramsey). But it doesn’t make sense that they have kept Oscar’s parentage a secret for several months, only to have it turn out to be two random newbies. (technically a half-newbie in his mother’s case, since long time GH viewers know Tamara Braun – but not as this new character) So assuming Oscar’s dad would have to then be somebody already in Port Charles, you would have to narrow it down to somebody who is the appropriate age to have a… Read more »
Hey Sat…ahem… 🙂 Sounds like a plausible theory and one that would probably play well. You could be right. And, yes, I’m familiar with and love Tamara Braun (and loved her as Carly). I’m still not dismissing the idea that Wes could be Oscar’s dad. He’s the right age and who knows what his back story is… OR…he could have something to do with Nell… What I like is that I’m not sure. If I remember correctly you’re not a Franco fan. I am…I love the character…especially how he’s evolved, how great he is with Liz and her kids…and I… Read more »
What audacity, Rebecca. It was not too long ago when you posted under different names and was caught with your hand in the cookie jar. You cannot blame anyone for doubting who is posting. Let us be fair. Let us be friendly and nice to each other.
You accused me of being someone I was not, remember? That is not my style. Do not judge others by your actions.
PAX
Audacity, Francesca? Audacity is you interjecting again, into a comment I made to Celia…about an attitude and comments she keeps making about me. I have no idea who you are. Didn’t when you first attacked me a few months ago (so much for your, “let us be friendly and nice to each other.” Where was that sentiment then? Or…does it only apply when I speak. I have no clue who you are. Do I suspect you’re either Celia or a family member? Yes I do. Why? Because you showed up out of the blue a short bit ago, tied yourself… Read more »
WOW WOW WOW, I had stopped watching GH but now back watching and I am LOVING it…SO GOOD…Love that Steve Burton is back, he’s an awesome man…THANKS GH for some great story telling…
.
Thank You C0-Head Writer Chris Van Etten !!
GH was more than weak and extremely boring and then Chris came, and now GH is actually becoming GH, again..
Good stuff, Chris Van Etten 🙂
I think Chris Van Etten taking Jean Passanante’s place has made a huge difference in the show’s pacing but once again GH is putting all its eggs in one basket story wise. If you don’t like Sonny, Carly, Jason, and/or Sam then there is absolutely nothing going on in Port Charles for you. This whole “GH is about these four and if you don’t like them then too bad ‘cause that’s all we’re serving” approach is definitely not the way to draw in new viewers — or retain those who came on board after the cancellation of AMC and OLTL… Read more »
It’s not the only story, going, Alan. It is THE story that most of us are really enjoying…it’s been great so far! But there is Anna and Finn, Laura and Kevin, Nina, Valentin…then Cassandra and her ties to Valentin (along with Anna’s interjecting herself into their criminal activity)…there’s Amy’s brother coming along, Julian’s coming back. If you don’t like any of these characters or their stories (which, of course is personal taste) than I understand your thoughts. But, there are other things going on. They’re keeping a nice balance…
LOL, Alan, you have described me to the letter. Your no-nonsense comments are a breath of fresh air. You tell it like it is.
Love it !!
Days is delivering…..got a glimpse of Susan ….What a woman, LOL. I started laughing spontaneously as soon as I saw those teeth….. can’t wait for what’s to come….
And, yessss….my faves on GH; Ava, Nina and Laura ( and a couple more).
Eilleen Davidson has been one of my favorite actors for decades but her multiple roles on DAYS really put her full talents on display. Susan Banks is hilarious — and I can only hope that Sister Mary Moira makes an appearance.
Same here, Alan. I took to Eileen since the first time I saw her on Y&R. I was about twelve when I truly got into the character in the late 90’s…old enough to follow a storyline.
Yet, as a six-year old, I remember watching her on DAYS with my grandmother. But, I did not appreciate her talent until much later, as Kristen, Susan and Sister Mary. Eileen threw me for a loop—
I can honestly say that Ms Davidson must be one of the most versatile soap stars on TV. The role of Susan is my favorite.
GH is definitely on fire as many have said. The skylight sequence was fabulous and the middle of the episode. I was glued to the TV. Monday’s ending with the two Jasons coming face to face. Bring it on. A previous thread has posters theorizing that perhaps Franco is the twin. A wrench to be sure. I want Six to be Jason. There is too much history (20+ years) for this not to be the case. I hope the writers do not disappoint in telling this tale.
I think it’s going to end up that Steve is Drew/Jason M and that Billy is actually Jason Q,and I will let the GH writers figure out the details.
Absolutely impossible…..
The last brain surgery Jason had before he took his unexpected swim in the Port Charles Harbor was due to the fact that a piece of AJ’s dashboard was still stuck in his brain (and somehow missed in the 666 prior brain surgeries).
Jason Morgan is Jason Quartermaine. Andrew Quartermaine was completely unknown to anybody in Port Charles at that time, and Hell only knows what happened to him between the time Frodd threw him down the stairs as a child, and when he hooked up with Oscar’s mommy in San Diego. But he wasn’t anywhere near the Q mansion.
Yessss!!!!! That’s what I said, Satan. I do not know much about GH, but I know enough to say exactly what you expressed… “Andrew Quartermaine was completely unknown…”…
So, you really think he is Oscar’s father? Hmmmm. A couple of possibilities, I guess.
LOL…I love Franco and there’s no proof that he threw Drew down the stairs. Betsy said she didn’t see it…I think rather they were close and Franco was traumatized by Drew just disappearing from his early life. Thus, the painting and the nagging thoughts that he once had a brother…
Actually, it is possible if the switch was made just prior to the crash and not after.
O.M.G. This is how soaps are suposed to be!!
Yes, Robert….bubbles abound!!! GH/staff/writers have just shown exactly the soaps of old ( inclusive)….. not an expert on GH storytelling, but this scene has surpassed all my expectations.
What a treat! A fast paced, thrilling return for Jason and outstanding performances by all. Its easy to imagine the conflicts Jason’s reappearance will create. I haven’t been this anxious to watch the next episode since the early days of Robin & Patrick. And I love Anna & Finn’s chemistry, I hope they have a reason to continue to explore their new relationship.
Oh, I agree with all you’ve written, Rachel. And I love Anna and Finn, too! Can’t believe how well these two are together…from looks to banter, flirtation, hesitation, etc. I’m enjoying Finn much more with Anna than I ever did with Hayden.
Jason would run to Sonny, NuJason would buy Julian’s company, u decide which decision adds up to which face.
I’m loving this story, and GH is certainly on fire right now! I don’t think I care one way or the other which one is Jason, just that the story is so exciting to watch! I often don’t have time to watch the show every day, so I usually stockpile it for the weekend so that I don’t have to wait 24 hours to see the next episode 🙂 Last night I watched Monday and Tuesday’s shows and my daughter, who doesn’t watch it but has seen enough of it over the years when I’m watching it, came home from… Read more »
Since Guiding Light went off, I switched back to GH. Every show goes through a period of the writing not being what they think it should be. You hear people complaining about how bad the writing is and going on about how this character isn’t good. Blah Blah Blah. I’ve stayed true to GH. I’ve always like Billy Miller as an actor since he was on Y&R and GH hit it big when they hired him as Jason. I really wasn’t happy when I first heard that Steve Burton was returning but this story is on FIRE !!!! At the… Read more »
Yes, loving it….now let Steve Burton come all the way home….
Great, succinct comment, Rose Marie.
This is amazing!!!!!! I know there’s more twists and turns coming because it’s unfolding too fast. It appears the writers will make us think that he’s not really Jason before confirming he is. I won’t like that but as long as SB is the original, I’m good. Now that Tamara Braun is back, her history must be tied to Drew before he was kidnapped. This kid cannot be SB’s Jason. And now with the original Jason back, this should be where Franco moves back into the black and have Drew try to help. Awesome writing team GH. You have redeemed… Read more »
And how wonderful were Laura and Kevin’s engagement scenes!!! They were lovely and fun at the same time, and a nice break from the Jason’s story. I’m liking how the real Jason stories are unfolding. But to catch your breath you have to have other things happening in Port Charles. Personally I’m really liking Anna and Finn tip-toeing around each other. And the ManLanders story, especially with Amy’s brother coming home. Do have a question about Patient 6 Jason. How can he be in such good athletic shape after being mostly immobile for five years?
Rose, I wonder the same thing about Six’s physical stature, unless those horse tranquilizers had an opposite impact. Being a soap, we have to suspend disbelief.
He’s going to be in good shape from his torso up, Rose. Physical therapy always involves working on upper body strength…particularly for someone who has to depend on that part of his body.
Another thought, Rose. Perhaps Amy doesn’t know yet that he’s lost his legs…she knew he was badly injured but maybe he didn’t tell her that yet…and that’s why he delayed his visit. Or, maybe “in story” he’s only found out now that he needs another surgery to amputate…either way he probably was getting physical therapy, even if from bed. The only other possibility is that he won’t be in good shape..(althought that would be too grueling to get out of shape for the role like some actors for film roles) .or they’ll have him appear less in shape by camaflouging… Read more »
oh my gawd!!!! i COMPLETELY misread your comment, Rose!!! I think Su had mentioned on a previous post that she didn’t understand how Amy’s brother would come back looking so fit, etc (LOL, unless I misread that, too. I’ve been on very little sleep lately and usually respond to posts while still in a fog…) And you mentioned Amy’s brother coming back…Anyway…Danger! Danger! Will Robinson!!!! (Or, scusi my comment. To quote an expression I can’t stand, “my bad…”)
Rebecca… Ha Ha! re: “Danger, Danger. ” Love that series by the way. I figured you had mixed Jason with Amy’s brother. And I know what it can be like to be a little brain foggy, especially when I’m posting in the early morning hours. I am looking forward to see Chris Van Etten as a real vet come onto GH and his story. And a good way to show the ManLanders story had a serious reason to it. Also interesting to me after seeing some of the Invictus Games this summer started by Prince Harry.
LOL, Rose! So frustrating that there’s no edit button…and we never have a guarantee our corrections are going to post. (I read Netflix is doing a remake of Lost In Space scheduled for 2018…I don’t have netflix but I’ll be interested in the reviews.)
Yep; I’m interested in Amy’s brother coming aboard. You know I like her. She’s too cute and I find her much more likable than when they first brought her on to do nothing other than recreate Amy Vining…epic fail. But as the warm, bubbly and insightful friend, nurse (loving sister, etc) I think she’s a sweet addition.
I will watch the episode tonight. It sounds like it was a great episode! Yet, I can’t help but mention, …and so starts the “Sonny, Carly, and Sidekicks Hour.”- UGH. I think I would enjoy it more if Monotone Sam was not one of the sidekicks.
Oh, boy, dmr….Michael is the worst sidekick!! Everytime he calls Sonny ‘Dad’, or refers to him as dad or his father, my hackles go up. Hypocrite.
Sam? Hmmmm. I don’t consider her much of anything. What is her function, anyway?! She’s either in hospital weeping …..or caressing her black leather jacket; which should actually be in shreds by now, after how many years?

Adam Huss Back to GH as Nikolas Cassadine
With Marcus Coloma’s last appearance as Nikolas Cassadine on last week’s January 26th episode of General Hospital, the soap opera brought back Adam Huss to finish out the dark prince’s storyline.
According to Soaps.com. Huss aired today on the January 31st episode of the ABC daytime drama series and will finish out the scenes that were written to be portrayed by Coloma.
Adam previously subbed for Coloma back in September 2021 and again in November 2022.

After it was announced that Coloma was leaving GH, the network and the series agreed that it would be best that Marcus did come in to tape his last episodes since he was recovering from Covid-19 at the time. Thus, we are seeing those episodes featuring Huss now airing in early February.
So, glad to see Adam back to wrap Nikolas’ current storyline? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Kelly Thiebaud Opens Up on Her Exit from General Hospital, Taping Britt’s Tragic Death Scenes, and Parting Thoughts on Co-Stars
Just a few weeks ago on the January 4th episode of General Hospital, viewers were left devastated when Dr. Britt Westbourne succumbed to a fatal poisoning after a confrontation with ‘The Hook’.
While it was revealed that Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud, was exiting the ABC soap opera at the end of 2022, many thought the story would see Britt leaving Port Charles to deal with her declining health due to Huntington’s Disease in private, in order to keep the door open for a possible return down the line. However, that was not meant to be. When a report from Deadline surfaced back in August of 2022, it indicated that Kelly was returning to her primetime role on ABC’s Station 19, which caused some confusion and rumors of just what would Thiebaud’s ultimate status be with the daytime drama series.

Now, in a very special exit interview for You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, Kelly chats with Michael Fairman and clarifies what led to her decision to leave her role as Dr. Britt Westbourne.
Talking with Fairman direct from London, Kelly, who won a Daytime Emmy in 2022 for the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, reveals how it came to pass that GH would kill-off the character of Britt by becoming another victim of ‘The Hook’, and more.

During the conversation, Thiebaud shares her thoughts on working with her former GH co-stars including: Steve Burton (ex-Jason), Parry Shen (Brad), Kirsten Storms (Maxie), Kathleen Gati (Liesl), Cassandra James (Terry), Roger Howarth (Austin) and Josh Kelly (Cody), as well as some of her favorite memories throughout her run on the series which began in 2012.

Kelly took the character from being the manipulative ‘Britch’ as an interloper in the romance of Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Sabrina (Teresa Castillo), all the way to becoming a well-loved character to root for.

While, GH viewers witnessed Britt’s shocking death scenes, Kelly weighs-in on taping those moments, as well as Britt’s emotional goodbye birthday party, and having the opportunity to portray a character who was trying to navigate her life, while suffering from the effects of Huntington’s Disease.
In addition, Thiebaud gives a very special ‘thank you’ and shout out to the fans for their enduring support as she looks forward to new roles and new adventures ahead.
