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”?
So, what do you think of Carly and Sonny getting close? What did you think of the performances of Laura Wright, Steve Burton, Cynthia Watros, and Donnell Turner within this episode? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
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 about the wedding. Sometimes I wonder if Jeff, Frisco or Lucky are better fathers – and we haven’t seen them in years!
While I still think the character of Nina could’ve left the canvas when Stafford departed, Watros played a good mix of cray-cray and desperate. As Nixon Falls wraps up, I’m again wondering how much longer Nina is useful on the show. Maxie and Liesl both have other connections without Nina. Valentin is a much interesting character outside of her orbit as well.
Turning to Curtis, Jordan and Portia… were the writers teasing us with the “I love you Mom” scene with Jordan & TJ? A typical soap foreshadowing scene, but Jordan survives?
As for Portia, the opportunity for Curtis to be Trina’s bio dad could’ve been played out a while ago (i.e. when Stella did the Ancestry test). Something much more interesting would be a revelation that after Portia stopped seeing Curtis, a few months later she had a one-nighter with Shawn. On Friday, Shawn’s voice saying “Portia’s here?” gives me hope that’s still a possibility.
Final thoughts…
Gladys’ reaction to Brando’s “side gig” was priceless. As annoying as her character can be, Bonnie Burroughs plays her well and anyone who can be a thorn in Carly’s side is okay in my book.
The casting for the five family leaders (don’t get me started on the math there) is great. I’m tired of the mob scenes, but Mrs. Wu (especially), Mr. Buscema and Vince are interesting to watch.
Die Heinrik Die
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 brilliant. I almost feel sorry for Nina…but not quite.
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.
Though she and Jason did eventually develop feelings for each other, after Robin had left for Paris and Carly had returned from her “post partum vacation” following Michael’s birth.
And that lasted up until Carly had the infamous “hate sex” with Sonny, which turned into their rollercoaster of 666 different weddings & divorces, with all the side detours of Jax, Brenda, and other side distractions for both of them. Not the least of which is this 9 month amnesia fueled disappearance and presumed “death” of Sonny, which is now about to end exactly when we all knew it would…..
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 storyline was for naught—–absolutely senseless with no thought behind. Perhsps I’m being too precipitous? What was the point? Just please!!—–no more kissing scenes—think of my viscera.
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 only in soaps. Remember when Alexis thought she was pregnant? (Or she was pregnant and lost the baby)—-after having gone through menopause? Hmmmm….
Yes, the Aussie guy—Keeping my eye on him. He will probably end up in PC as a reward for helping yucky nuDrew?
The nuDrew!!—Oh, my Lord—I will definitely skip through any scenes with him. More pain to endure.
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.
With the heads of the other 3/5 of the Five Families present at the wedding (who was the missing 4th mobster anyway? Cyrus never had an official membership. Was it the Jeromes??) it’s always possible they might interrupt the wedding somehow, though it would appear from previous scenes that they are there to give themselves alibis for whatever they have planned for the Corinthos warehouse.
So who does that leave to interrupt the ceremony??
Yeah, the one person whom nobody in the church wants to see…. Whiny Heiny… who knows the truth, and would love to torment everybody in attendance with it, in exchange for some sort of immunity deal for his own slimy ass, probably.
With any luck, the rogue mobsters will take advantage of the chaos and start shooting, and Heiny will get caught in the crossfire. Maybe Gladys too.
Now that would be a worthy Friday cliffhanger.
Biggest disappointment of the episode??
Gladys wasn’t in the limo with Novak when it blew up.

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
It’s been over two-years since his last appearance on General Hospital, now fan favorite Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the casting of his grown-up TV daughter, Serena Baldwin now played by Kelly Kruger.
Kelly took over the role of Serena on-screen starting with the July 30, 2026 episode and has been ensconced in the storyline with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), in trying to win back full creative control of Deception for her.
In fact on the Monday, October 19 episode of the ABC soap opera, Serena tried to dupe Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) shares of the company. Jason caught on and wondered why she was doing this. She claimed she just wanted to help her mom gain creative control from Tracy (Jane Elliot) rather than full ownership, and begged Jason to keep quiet about it, which he agreed to for now.

WHERE IS SCOTT?
On Monday, Shriner also took to X and said, “I think Kelly Kruger is doing a great job on General Hospital, and she and Lynn Herring work well together.” That was followed by comments in his thread about the show needing to bring back Scott too.
In fact, back on August 25, Shriner also took to X with a reminder that Scott is still around and ready to come back to Port Charles, sharing, “Scotty Baldwin always fits in he just needs the right sport coat !!!!”
The last time Serena mentioned her father Scott was when Kruger made her debut and informed Lucy that her father was, “living his best life in Key West.” Meanwhile, Shriner posts on his X account continually and shared back on August 2, that it has been 49 years since he made his on-screen debut as then teenaged, Scotty Baldwin and thanked the fans for al the love and support.
So, now let us know, are you enjoying Kelly Kruger as Serena Baldwin? Do you want to see GH bring back Scott Baldwin into the story, so Serena has both her parents in Port Charles? Do you like the potential of Jason and Serena pairing? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
