General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason asks Carly to Marry Him and She Responds “With All My Heart”
The stage is set now for General Hospital’s Jason/Carly/Sonny/Nina story to explode as things heated up between longtime friends and former lovers, Jason (Steve Burton) and Carly (Laura Wright) just as Jax (Ingo Rademacher) is in Nixon Falls pleading with Nina (Cynthia Watros) to come clean and tell “Mike”(Maurice Benard) that he is indeed, Sonny Corinthos. Here’s what went down on Friday’s episode …
Back in Port Charles, at the demolished former “Jake’s”, Carly and Jason’s old stomping grounds, Carly and Jason share a kiss. Carly says she can’t believe this is happening after letting him know that all of her old romantic feelings for him are starting to come back. Apparently that is true for Jason too, as the ABC daytime drama series finally reaches back into the history of these two characters who were in love, before Carly slept with Sonny. Back in the present day, Jason asks Carly to marry him, and she responds, “With all my heart.” But now, Carly is starting to feel more excited about what started off as a business arrangement between the two of them to retain the Corinthos family hold over the five families and the territory in Sonny’s absence. Carly says she wants their wedding day to be about them, and later they can come to Jake’s just by themselves.

In Nixon Falls, Jax (Ingo Rademacher) is trying to get through to Nina, who has admitted her duplicity to him and how she has fallen in love with “Mike”. When Jax informs her that Carly and Jason are getting married, she thinks that’s great then she and “Mike” can have a future together. Nina wants Jax to just forget this conversation, and seeing Sonny, and do this for her; after all she went through in losing her child, Nelle, and her relationship with him. Then Jax asks her to think about Donna and Avery and Wiley, his children and grandchild, who don’t know he is alive and will never get to know him. Nina cries that Jax has won, and that she will tell “Mike” the truth in private (but something tells us, she is going to make “Mike” walk-in on Jason and Carly’s nuptials, so that she has a shot of keeping him all to herself by the betrayal he will witness). Jax says he is not leaving Nixon Falls till she tells Sonny the truth, but she somehow she still got him to leave through her pleading to let her do this alone. As Nina thinks “Mike” is walking in the front door of the Tan-O, in walks Peter (Wes Ramsey)!

Meanwhile, Jordan (Briana Nicole Henry) is rushed to General Hospital unconscious with Portia (Brook Kerr) not far behind, after being trapped together. More bad news is revealed when Austin (Roger Howarth) gets the blood results back for Jordan and tells Curtis (Donnell Turner) that Jordan’s levels of carbon monoxide are 58% which is not good for someone with one kidney. Austin relates that if Jordan’s kidney function doesn’t improve, they’ll have put her on dialysis. TJ (Tajh Bellow) comes to see his mom, and sits by her bedside in tears. Later, Curtis breaks down in tears holding Jordan’s hand to come back to him, and she opens her eyes, as Portia walks in on the scene.

Three of the five families plan to take over Port Charles and split the territory after their secret meeting, where they plan to blow up a warehouse while Carly and Jason are distracted and at their wedding; the families also received a message from Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) while in prison. Who will stop the “hit”?

The longest wedding day ever in soaps? Carly became impossible to root for years ago. There’s no heat between her and Jason. The writers had shown so much character growth for Jason – breaking away from Sam and his brief fling with Britt. Over the course of a short period, all of that’s out the door and we’re back in 1996. Ugh! Since other child actors (Violet, Leo) have appeared, we can’t equate Danny or Jake’s non appearances as being related to current filming restrictions. There’s not been one scene (or even mention) of Jason talking to Danny or Jake… Read more »
I’m sorry but this JaCarly romance is just plain sickening. There is less than zero romantic chemistry with these two. They should have left it as a business move instead of rewriting history about their “great lost love”. And Nina’s behavior is beyond despicable. She’s just as delusional and self-justifying now as when she kidnapped Ava and stole Avery. The woman needs major therapy. Maybe Kevin can offer her a lifetime discount plan; she’ll need it. Especially when she loses visitation of Wiley…and all for this “Mike” dullard? Way to ruin your life, Nina! That said, Cynthia Watros’ performances are… Read more »
Soaphound…not only that but (to me) the Jason/Carly pairing is the DUMBEST thing that GH has ever done!!!!! SHAME ON GH FOR DOING THIS!!!!!
With rewriting history to make this mess, writers insulted Jason/Sam, Jason/Robin, Jason/Elizabeth, killed a potential electric pairing between Britt/Jason, ruined Sonny/Carly and killed the family dynamic between Sonny, Carly and Jason. I have no fav pairing in this because I’m over the scenery chewing by the three for the last couple of years, but will say that kiss had meh chemistry. I want this over, the three characters back storied for a bit and feature other great actors/pairings such as Ana/Valentine, Nikolas/Ava, Curtis, Portia, etc
Please let this be the end!!!
Agreed that Britt and Jason had chemistry–at first because it was unexpected and then because they were on the run. Remember when a couple would go on the run for the whole summer–not just 2 weeks? The plots are just going too fast these days. I would also say that maybe the show does plan on bringing back Britt and Jason. They would be smart to do so. Nothing ever has to be over in soapdom–they can always find a way to go back.
I hope so too.
Somebody send Whiny Heiny back to Hell already. Cerberus is getting hungry.
Hi Mr, Morningstar–lol
Who is –Heiny ?_____
Anyways-
Jason has zero heat for Carly___
Jason can’t have sex with Carly____
to Jason it would be like sexing your sister, yuck.
Carly might get heated but not Jason, he can’t go there____
Anyways Sonny will be back and that totally ends
Jason and Carly/ with a minor mess.
Whiny Heiny = Heinrich Faison a.k.a. Peter August.
I agree with you on the Jason & Carly thing though. A “marriage” to preserve the “coffee” business made perfect sense. An actual marriage based on real feelings… nah, not seeing it at all.
Now, will Jax manage to get back to Port Charles to pull the plug on this fiasco, or will Heiny sabotage his plane… and lock him up wherever Drew & Dr. Ooblech are.
SuOOO,
I don’t know, but Jason looked like he was “feeling” something there with Carly or maybe he just got carried away with her inthusiasm.
The whole Carly & Jason thing is a bit of history revisionism. When they first became acquainted at the old Jake’s bar, their relationship was strictly physical. At the time, Jason was recently recovered from the brain scrambling he got, courtesy of his drunken brother AJ. Other than Sonny, the first person to accept him as his “new” self was Robin Scorpio. Eventtually, Jason & Robin fell in love, but because Robin had recently been diagnosed as HIV positive, she wouldn’t have sexual relations with Jason. So Jason turned elsewhere for his physical needs, and that’s where Carly came in.… Read more »
Be a little patient. I think Sonny will lose it when he catches him threatening Nina again and give him his one way ticket to the land down below, and I don’t mean Australia.
It feels and looks so uncomfortable… their kiss.
The near “drunken hook up” between Britt and Nathan felt more right than this.
Hahahaha, spot on!
Tired of this storyline. I may be in the minority here and that’s ok but never been fan of Carly except when she was played by Tamara Braun.
Barf. Even the actors looked like they were grossed out kissing each other & trying to sell this awful plot. They have absolutely no chemistry! Makes the Nixon Falls zero-chemistry Mike-Nina storyline almost palatable by comparison. WTF, GH? Why are you forcing such terrible material? It takes me nearly no time to watch the show these days because I FF through 75% of it. But it is definitely testing my gag reflex.
Well, I guess now we know that the Tricky Dick Nixon Falls storyline is about over. Heiny just burnt it down. And poor Phyllis probably won’t make it out alive.
So…. does Sonny get whacked in the head now by a falling beam from the burning bar and get his memories back. Or does everything just come back to him naturally because of some previous fire?
Oh, you devil you. You saw the beam fall on his head and I said Now, we know how he gets his memory back. I wonder if he’ll walk into the wedding ceremony all soot and ashes befitting a ghost.
I wasn’t really being all that serious when I posted the above yesterday…. but they did exactly what I predicted….
Sonny, knocked out unconscious by a beam to the head. Who wants to bet their soul that he doesn’t wake up feeling like his old self??
What the heck is wrong with Sonny? Instead of rescuing Nina, he’s telling her he loves her and other inane stuff. I understand they want to drag this whole scenario out, but this is ridiculous.
Violet, you catch all the goofy inconsistencies that I do. Wasn’t that a scream? I was watching with my 87-year-old mom, who shouted, “Oh get out of there already! Are they waiting for an engraved invitation?” I myself thought they were gonna start roasting Smores in between all the yucky kissing.
Soaphound,
I sent a previous post for you to check out the very good looking Father Reyes at C&J wedding.Googled him, his name is Juan Monsalvo. I guess he’s played the part a number of times, but he didn’t catch my eye before. I know, Iam terrible.
Oh, yuck, yuck, yuck—this “togetherness”, the kissing, the fake adoration in the eyes is as bad as watching Sonny and Nina doing the mouth-to-mouth thing. No passion—-no spark. In plain terms? It’s simply gross. I had finally seen a spark of “sexy” in Jason with Britt. Why in heaven’s name would TPTB play with that blooming storyline? Carly is as passionate as a bee sting —-and Jason, when with her, transforms into his oh-so-regular stiff self. And, Mike? WOW!!!!!! He saved the day? Will he be incinerated? Doubt it. He will come out of the burning hell as Sonny. This… Read more »
I feel your pain, Celia. And share it. This “Mike” dude is even more repulsive than Sonny at his worst. And with this new “going gray/white” look he’s sporting, he looks more likely to adopt Nina than romance her. Between this and the Mafia takeover, I’m losing patience. But… how about that gorgeous Aussie guy that’s guarding Drew? He’s a dreamboat; I hope they keep him.
Sonny/Mike—regardless, they both turn me off. What are the writers thinking?—that every female viewer ( or male) would swoon over this new, “not-improved”, worsened Sonny? And, Carly—please shoot me!! Such a dainty bride—-so senselessly ridiculous. Are we to understand that she and Jason kept this everlasting, fiery love bottled up inside for all these years? Were they living a lie? None of us believes this. Period. Will Carly and Jason consummate the marriage before Sonny’s return? If so, will she get impregnated by Jason’s powerful seed? If that’s the case, it’ll be another one of those miracle pregnancies which exists… Read more »
Oh Celia, Michael is pushing, what, 30? If they try to foist another baby on Carly (and us), they’d better notify medical science, not to mention the National Enquirer! Anyway, it will just be another poor kid that Jason can ignore. They should start interviewing full-time nannies right now.
Carly/Jason wedding ceremony——so painful to watch!!
Ghost Mike for the win!!
Though seriously….. shouldn’t his first impulse have been to tell his son to wake up and get the Hell out of a 666 alarm fire, and THEN remember who he is??
Because the memories really ain’t gonna help him so much if he’s char-broiled.
Oh Satan, don’t get me started. How about those propless firefighters… not a water hose in sight! Just a lot of running around. Though THAT fire was preferable to the hell in Port Charles — that low-rent wedding! Even the poor minister was having trouble keeping a straight face. Me too.
Soaphound,
Oh but that priest/minister, whatever as my granddaughter or grt. granddaughter would say, “he’s gorgeous and I’d have to agree. Carly called him Father Rey’s. I think I’ll find out who was behind that coller.
LOL—-was that a minister or a R Catholic priest? Hope it wasn’t a RC ceremony—–no matter, TPTB ignore any canon law in existence. No divorcée can ever marry in the RC Church unless the Pope says otherwise. What a sham!!
Here’s the Devil’s prediction for Friday: Since Sonny is just now getting his memories back, while still trapped in the burning bar, it’s not at all likely that he’s going to get out of there in time to stop the wedding already in progress. Jax is also still on the scene at the fire, so he’s also not likely to interrupt… unless Maxie returns his phone call and he can relay the information to her. But then, who returns phone calls in the middle of a wedding – especially if you’re the wedding planner – so that is also unlikely.… Read more »
Biggest disappointment of the episode??

ESPN Sports Personality and ‘General Hospital’ Guest Star, Stephen A. Smith Reveals COVID-19 Nearly Took His Life
In a harrowing account of coming down with Covid-19, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, who also has a recurring role on General Hospital as Brick, revealed his battle over the holidays that led to him being hospitalized because of the severity of his symptoms.
On Monday, Smith returned to his co-hosting gig on ESPN’s First Take and it was there he shared what happened during his breakthrough case of Covid. Stephen had been fully vaccinated. Smith said that he had tested positive late in December and wound up in the hospital with pneumonia in both lungs over New Years.

Stephen A. discussed the details, expressing: “I had 103 degree fever every night. Woke up with chills and a pool of sweat. Headaches were massive. Coughing profusely. And it got to a point where right before New Year’s Eve, I was in the hospital into New Year’s Day. That’s how I brought in the New Year.”
He went on to say about contracting Covid-19: “For me personally, it hit me differently. (Doctors) told me, had I not been vaccinated, I wouldn’t be here. That’s how bad I was. I had pneumonia in both lungs. My liver was bad, and it ravaged me to the point where even now I have to monitor my volume, get to the gym every day … I’m still not 100% with my lungs, but I’m Covid negative … I’m on the road to recovery.”
On a happier note, Smith shared how glad he was to be back at work after testing negative: “I’m ecstatic to be back. I’ve missed being at work. I’ve used more sick days in the last month than I’ve used in my 28-year career in this business. And I can’t tell you how lucky and sincerely blessed I am to be sitting here with you guys today because two-and-a-half, three weeks ago, I didn’t know if I was gonna make it.”
So, glad to know Stephen A. is on the mend from a very scary bout with Covid? Share your thoughts in the comment section
“And they told me had I not been vaccinated, I wouldn’t be here. That’s how bad I was.”
