GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who Will Turn Out to Be Adam’s Father?
For weeks, General Hospital has been playing up the anxiousness, anxiety, pressures of a college student named Adam as played by Joshua Benard (the son of Maurice Benard) on the ABC daytime drama series.
Adam and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) have become friends, and along the way she seems to be attempting to put together the pieces of what is going on with this young man. In story, what we have learned as it seems that he is receiving unbelievable pressure from his mom and dad, to ensure he has the best grades in order to become a doctor.
On Wednesday’s episode, after receiving a 97 on his test in a do-over, he called his father. We don’t hear the voice on the other line, only Adam’s. Apparently, the father was not happy that Adam has to do a make up test, even though he received a high score.

So, where is this all leading? Is Adam suffering from bipolar disorder or mental illness? Is he talking to anyone on the phone? Or, is he the son of a current character on the canvas, or a new or incoming villain?
Much speculation has been made that Adam might turn out to be the bio-son of Mr, Brennan (Charles Mesure), presumed to be the nefarious ‘Pikeman’. However, Adam had said that his parents were both doctors. Others are assuming he could turn out to be another child of Sonny Corinthos, but Sonny doesn’t know it, and he was raised by some over-achieving well-to-do parents.
Looks like next week, Josslyn and Trina (Tabyana Ali) may be on the case to try to figure out what is really going on with the guy.
So the questions become … do you think this will turn out to be just a random story featuring Joshua Benard? Do you think Adam till be tied-in more to the Port Charles canvas? Is Joss spending too much time with Adam and and not enough time with Dex (Evan Hofer)?
In addition, Joshua just turned 19-years-old this week on December 5th. Shout out to another year around the sun.

My initial thought was that Adam and Esme would turn out to be siblings (fraternal twins, maybe), the children of Ryan and Heather. That’s back when I thought Adam was the hook killer, since the hook seemed to be going after Joss multiple times. However, now I believe Adam’s real father will turn out to be Sonny, and hopefully his bio mom is Brenda. I think it’s a shame they never had a child together, and it would be a great way to bring her back on the show.
I think the main focus of this storyline is mental health and addiction. Adam will most likely be diagnosed as bipolar/anxiety disorder. I’m sure at some point Sonny will factor into the storyline with Joss asking for his advice on Adam’s behavior. I would love to see Maurice Benard and Joshua share scenes together in this storyline.
i would rather see dex’s character get fleshed out and an interesting backstory after all of this time rather than nepo baby benard.
Me too!
I don’t think the character has mental illness as some are suggesting. I think this is a story of a student who attempts suicide; he’s under too much pressure, has overly-demanding abusive parents (mentally, emotionally perhaps physically) and at some point can’t handle the pressure.
Who’s his daddy? Don’t know. I doubt it’s Sonny. That would be RIDICULOUS to give him another child! Whoever his parents are, we don’t know yet if they’d be his biological parents or if he’s adopted….
I agree with you Rebecca. I don’t think Sonny is his dad either. I like this young man but not the SL or he and Joss sleeping together for the reasons mentioned.
I think there is mental health issues and I think it is Maurice Bernards way of highlighting those issues. I think it’s a sick story and I’m not liking it or Adam at all. Joss was finally growing up due to Dec. Leave that happen and find something else for Maurice’s son
No! Enough kids of Sonny’s already! He already has 4 on the show and one is dead. Michael is not his child. Never was never will be. He kidnapped Michael as a child and hung AJ on a meat hook to sign over his parental rights. That is kidnapping, and that does not make you someone’s parents.
Hoping this Adam story was just a side story to fill time until the writers’ strike ended and will resolve soon so Joss can get back into the main action.
Not thrilled about character ADAM….I feel really distraught after watching him
His parents are Elizabeth’s weird Dr parents !! They will enter into story again because she is happy with Finn and you can’t have that …
maybe a new Roger Howarth character?

Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart.

As to the future, Jon and Cady explained, “We remain friends and wish each other every happiness. As people who work in the public eye, it can be difficult to have a private life. Regardless, we ask for your kind consideration in this matter.”
Jon and Cady met when they both appeared on As the World Turns, he as Craig Montgomery, and she as Rosanna Cabot. After four years together, the couple decided to get married in 2014.

Adam Huss Makes Another Return to General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine
Nikolas Cassadine will be back on your screens next week but now via Pentonville. That means, that actor Adam Huss is back for a visit for all-new episodes of General Hospital.
In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.
Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support. I don’t take it for granted for a second! (Even when I can’t answer 😊) #generalhospital”

Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.
So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other
The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.
Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).
When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.
Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.
What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
