GENERAL HOSPITAL: Julexis Goes To Therapy

By Michael Fairman

On General Hospital, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) was able to convince Julian (William deVry) to attend therapy with her to help her better understand her issues with men and relationships, which all of have been tainted by the destructive relationship between her father Mikkos Cassadine and her mother.

When Julexis sits down for the session with Dr. Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom), things take a bad turn when Alexis starts explaining to Julian why he is there, while Julian feels it’s just an attack on him, and their past, especially when it comes up how he held a knife at her throat on the pier and tried to kill her. Julian tells Kevin that everything he did was to protect his family from his crazy sister, Olivia.

Julian is ready to storm out, but Kevin suggest they implement more structure to the session to make this work for everyone.  It’s clear Julian does want to help Alexis, and/or also come to understand something about himself and their relationship, and why it splintered.  When asked by Kevin why Julian felt encouraged to pursue Alexis when he first came to town; knowing he was a criminal and she was on the right-side-of-the-law, Julian with tears in his eyes says, “Redemption.”  Julian says he fell in love with Alexis, but also liked the idea of proving and becominga better man.  He then says that both of them were trying to break the cycle of violence from their pasts, and he wished they had both been able to do so – in a heavy-dose-of-reality moment for Julexis.

The session ends, and Julian and Alexis walk to the hospital elevator, and he agrees to go to more sessions with her, saying that they both have issues to address so they can move on with their lives.  Alexis thanks Julian and offers one day to repay this favor.

In these scenes, William deVry and Nancy Lee Grahn brought the heartfelt emotions and the internal conflict that has made Julexis a dynamic duo on GH.   Now with Julian seemingly moving on with Kim (Tamara Braun), and Alexis wanting a fresh start, will these joint therapy sessions enable them to do that  … or perhaps can they resolve the issues that have plagued them, and move on with each other, and grow from it?

So, do you think this is the true end of the road for Julexis?  What did you think of the performances of Will and Nancy?  Comment below.

Wil & Nancy knocked it out of the park Friday. These scenes had to happen but I’m hoping Julexis survives. OTP My fav couple in many years. Sexy, smart, loving, witty.

Wil & Nancy were amazing(!) when the therapy scenes turned emotional. Hope this is the start of a lot more therapy, and a reunion, for Julian & Alexis. There’s so much potential for good, emotional drama if GH goes there.

I’m hoping it will reunite Julexis!!!

I truly hope it is a fresh start. I watched for Nancy Lee Grahn and her pairing with William DeVry. I am willing to accept any story that will explain or fix the awful story written for their characters. The acting and chemistry between Nancy and Will is exceptional for the show and the genre. I do not understand why GH chose this very unpopular and dead end storyline.

I love Julexis, have since the beginning and still do… Nancy and Wil have incredible chem.

So I’m rooting for them to work through everything great work on Friday by both !

Love Julexis so much and hope they can find their way back to each other.

the julexis therapy scenes were fantastic on Friday! loved every bit! the therapy scenes should not only give them a better explanation of themselves but also a chance for redemption. it’s gonna provide hopefully a fresh start for the two.in attending these sessions I believe that both Alexis and Julian will fall even more in love and will spark a reunion for the pair. so excited for these scenes and can’t wait for more julexis therapy sessions to air!

Wil and Nancy turned in riveting performances on Friday’s episode. Fantastic soapy material! I really hope GH gives them and their fans a well-told story that honors Julian and Alexis’ love and history together. I want to watch Julian and Alexis fall in love with each other all over again. Here for more joint therapy and hoping it leads to a healthier Julian and Alexis giving their relationship another go.

Julian and Alexis is the highest league in the General Hospital

“I really don’t care, do U?”

Nor do I, Harry! Me thinks this is just a lame exercise in a futile attempt to justify reuniting this toxic twosome. And it won’t wash!

The Rolling Stones, Melania…you’re on a roll, Harry! LOL

This scene was incredible! I hope that they continue to write for Alexis in this way, and show her journey, in part, thru her therapy sessions with Kevin. I am a #Julexis fan and the chemistry between William and Nancy is undeniable! There is absolutely no chemistry between Julian and boring Kim (UGH)! This couple (and these scenes) reminded me of how I used to feel about Sonny and Brenda in the ’90’s!

I totally agree!!

Love Alexis and Julian together. Looking forward to more of their story. Love the therapy aspect

I, want the old intriguing gangsta Julian back..
I don’t care for this Powderpuff version of a once Sonny adversary of Sonny, I luved they power play them being the Nemesis .
Now it’s been like watching two old men ready to enter the Sunnyside Nursing Home.
They both have lost their fire lost themselves, sigh .

Um, that’s Sonnyside Nursing Home to you, little missy.

juilan & Alexis should be together gh they belong together & love them two they have a lot chemistry to

I loveeee Alexis and Julian!! Please gh reunite them ❤️❤️❤️

I love Alexis and Julian!!! Pleas gh reunite them! ❤️❤️❤️

Julian and Alexis in therapy together?!?!? If I was Kim, I would be TOTALLY furious…lol.

Well it looks like Julian , the old dog, hasn’t forgotten his old tricks, since he’s found a new bone, and won’t let go, until he finds out about Lucas and Brad’s baby mommy.It has to be Hayden or possibly Nelle, if the baby makes it.
Second thoughts about Hayden. I don’t believe she’d give her and Finn’s child to the little PR*** that tried holding them up for money he demanded for helping Finn when developing his new drug.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

on

By

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
