GENERAL HOSPITAL: Julian’s Life Implodes As Bomb Explodes

By Michael Fairman

Published

Friday’s episode of General Hospital left viewers with an explosive ending, literally, that left fans on the edge of their seats of just what will be the ramifications for those inside and outside the Floating Rib, and on the docks of Port Charles.

At the epicenter of the story is William deVry (Julian Jerome), who delivered a top-notch and emotional heart-tugging performance within the hour installment of the ABC daytime drama series.

As it went down, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) wants Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) dead and has Julian doing his bidding; that includes Julian walking around with a bomb in a backpack. Renault meets Julian on the pier, and Julian lets the drug lord know that he will not target a restaurant full of people, since Jason is currently at the Floating Rib, playing pool with his son.  Cyrus tells Julian not to worry that the bomb will not be an issue until Jason is alone. He then hands Julian a burner phone to call him when the job is done.

As the two are talking, a drunken Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) stumbles upon the conversation, and that sets up what would have very well been the final scenes of the former couple known as “Julexis”.  When Alexis and Julian begin to talk, Julian shows his concern for her drinking, which she does not want to hear about.  Then in a key moment, Julian apologizes to Alexis for all the pain he has caused her.  It was in this line of dialogue, “Alexis, you have been such a positive light in my dark life” that viewers and possibly Alexis, felt the weight of what Julian was trying to convey, as he feared his life could be coming to an end, or feeling racked with guilt for the things he finds himself unable to extricate himself from.  Alexis wonders why he sounds like he’s saying goodbye to her.

Later, Julian shows up with the bomb at the Floating Rib as he flips through his phone and pictures of his children and loved ones knowing he must do what Renault has ordered to keep everyone safe.  He leaves the backpack with the bomb in it under a table.

At the Floating Rib, we have a major set up that could also lead to dire consequences.  Lulu (Emme Rylan) has summoned Dustin (Mark Lawson) to meet her at the bar to discuss the status of their relationship, now that Dante (Dominic Zamprigna) is back in town.  Dustin pulls out a ring and gets down on one knee to propose, just as Dante is outside the bar coming to talk to Lulu.

Meanwhile, Dev (Ashton Arbab) discovers the backpack and goes to tell the bartender about it.  In addition, Jason, Danny, Cameron (William Burton), and Liz (Rebecca Herbst) and Franco (Roger Howarth) are also there.

At  the end of the episode, Julian is back on the docks and pulls out the burner phone Cyrus gave him.  Julian says, “You better pick up”, but unknowingly when he hits Cyrus’ number, he sets off the bomb to explode in the bar.  Fade to black.

So, what will be the upshot of the bomb explosion?  Will Julian, in the midst of the turmoil, make it look like he perished in the explosion to facilitate William deVry’s exit?  Will something happen to Lulu, since we know Emme Rylan has exited the show as well?  Will everyone be saved?  Share your thoughts and theories and what you thought of Will’s performance via the comment section below.

I’ve always felt like Julian was a weasel but now I really feel sorry for him not only that but renoult is finally turning into a psycho creepy villain.

Yes, a weasel and worse–he attempted to murder Alexis. That should have spelled his demise. GH loves to hang on to its villain to its great detriment.

GH has been “on fire” as of late. Ever since the return of soaps since layoff, it has left the other 3 shows in the dust. It’s all about the writing, and great actors able to make us care about their characters. William deVry (one of soap’s hottest hunks) has been particularly strong as of late, his farewell (?) to Alexis was brilliant. That entire scene was a highlight reel for both actors. Dustin and Dev are probably dead, maybe Sam and Jason’s son 🙁 I just can’t believe LuLu is dead, maybe she disappears. What about Elizabeth and Franco?! I cannot wait to see what unfolds … THANK YOU, GH !!

I’m guessing Lulu goes into a coma, is sent to Crichton Clark for long-term care and wakes up (Julie Berman) sometime in May sweeps.

Danny might also be heading to a coma. This should definitely be the end of “Jasam” as they no longer work as a couple. Really can’t see them killing another Quartermaine. What if Danny gets brain damage like his dad, but insists on going to live with “grandma Monica”?

Dev could be a goner, but killing another teen less than 2 years from Oscar? The character wasn’t drawn out and wouldn’t be missed in a few months. Killing him could complicate the Cyrus/Brando situation, so that may be a reason for his survival.

As for Dustin, we never knew his background story, and with Lulu gone, there’s no need for him on the canvas.

Finally, kudos to Jeff Kober for making Cyrus a villain to truly fear.

On second thought, I now foresee Lulu slipping into a catatonic state like Laura did. Julie Berman will “wake up” in the role just as Dante is prepared to marry whomever his new love interest is.

Best outcome would be Dustin (completely useless character from day one) Dev (long outlived his usefulness) and Frodd (geezus, do I even need to spell this one out?) all dead, nobody else injured seriously at all.

Unfortunately, we already know Lulu is gone, as the Valentini regime seems determined to carry on Garin Wolf’s mission of completely destroying the Spencer family. (Ironically the very people who saved GH from cancellation in the 1970s). So Lulu is a likely causualty. Though one can hope she’s merely injured with facial injuries so bad that she’ll wake up in the hospital with her old face again (as in JMB).

No way in Hell that Danny Morgan dies, but just the fact that he was in the building at all will certainly lead to Julian’s impending demise. Just a matter of whether Jason or Sam finds him first. Or maybe even Alexis…. especially if she’s drunk. (which she usually is lately)

Worst thing is that Whiny Heiny was nowhere near the Floating Rib at the time, so sadly there’s zero chance of him being dead.

The writers suck. In this miserable time we are going through why are you getting rid of characters we love. Get rid of Dustin, boring Willow, Brad, Lucas, Ryan, Cyrus, and Anna’s twin, the police commissioner, bring back Liesel she is too funny keep my favorite Franco, and Billy Miller’s character. Dont let Sasha die.

I REALLY don’t like what they’ve done to the character of Julian. Ever since he cut the brake lines on Lucas and Brad’s car, it’s been all downhill. Why would he marry Nelle? Why would he do Cyrus’s bidding? They worked so hard to redeem Julian in the eyes of his family as well as Alexis, and now with Kim out of town and Neil dead, it was the perfect opportunity to reunite “Julexis.” What a waste of story potential, a great character, and an equally great actor. I just hope Julian doesn’t die, and can return in a few years as a truly redeemed person.

I love William deVry. His talent is immense, however Julian is written Mr.deVry owns the screen. Extricated out of the Mob, trying desperately to become a “good man” for his family. No matter how he tried – always trying to save his own bacon, his relationship with Alexis, save Ava or keep his relationships with his kids safe- Julian ties the end of his rope in a slipknot. Boyfriend to Kim (loved the dynamic of what could have been between a – not grieving but feisty Kim and a little bit bad Julian. (uber talent Tamara Braun) I hope IF the PTB at GH REALLY are foolish enough to lose William deVry that they just send Julian on the run – that he runs a untraceable pattern(for now) to Kim. That somehow we get a glimpse of a future where Mr. deVry really DOES return.

I have not always been a Julian fan but like the actor. I did like him and Alexis but they deemed to ruin that relationship despite nothing good coming to either character since. That bomb was like throwing spaghetti at the wall and watching to see which one sticks. In this case, which one or ones will die. I do not believe they all will live. .I had read a while ago that Lulu leaves town, and certainly Laura will be saved, so don’t know about them .I can’t see them killing off Jason and his innocent son. Since they’ve started a new SL with Franco, he seems safe but if he is injured they could find something new about his brain tumor. To me, the only one really expendable is Dev. Do not think he is needed anymore in PC. Can’t wait for next week!

I really hate how the writers dismantled Julian’s character piece by piece. They have done everything in their power to make him un redeemable. I feel like it was deliberate. I especially hate how they destroyed Julexis. They had so much potential but the writers and EP blew it! They had the perfect opportunity to reunite Julexis after Kim left town and Neil died but again they refused to do it!. Instead they destroyed Julian and let William deVry go! I really hope that Julian doesn’t really die and that they decide to bring WDV back. He’s one of my favorite actors on the show! Horrible decision on TPTB’s part to let him go!!

I think Julian will either take off and leave town or Dante will catch him and hold him till the PCPD comes, they haul him to the police station, because he’s a suspect, they later find out that he planted the bomb, he goes to prison for however long they bring him or his replacement back. Somebody had said that Lulu might be in a coma, maybe for a while, till they replace her and Elizabeth will contact Dr. Drake to do surgery on Franco, everybody else just got knocked out, but will be alright….my opinions…lol

I sure hope no one dies but I am ready for Julian to exit

Really didn’t want him to go out as a bomber. Even if he was being forced to by Cyrus. Why couldn’t he just fake his death without planting that bomb!! I love William Devry and his character Julian. They should have left it so this amazing character could come back to the canvas someday…

I wish that was not the way it worked out. Cyrus tricked Julian and now no one knows that Julian didn’t want to do this. He should’ve thrown the bomb in the harbor, and gone on the run or better yet, gone to Sonny with the truth. I could not believe Kim was avoiding him in NY after all he did for her..William Devry is a great actor and my favorite GH hunk. Wish he was not really dead, but if so, hope we see him on TV again soon!

Julian is a snake and he will have to answer for his deeds he planted a bomb once before and killed the wrong person

For someone who has been affiliated with the mob Julian acts like a Simple Simon and doesn’t know how to get himself out of this situation.F

As if there isn’t enough death, dying, drugs, destruction going on in real life. Is this the best GH writers can come up with for “entertainment?” Especially before Thanksgiving! And even commenters adding their own “pleasant” two cents. How the once mighty GH has fallen from love and adventure in the afternoon.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, it doesn’t look like we’re getting a Quartermaine pizza episode this year.

Steve…Oh No! No Q pizza!

The official Thanksgiving episode will actually air next Monday, which seems a little ridiculous, but they’re going with an Xmas rerun on Thursday, and they aren’t airing anything on Friday (preempted for football, most likely).

Given the bombing and the aftermath of that, they probably didn’t think they could go from that to a Thanksgiving episode on Wednesday. If they throw in a 4 day weekend before they start carving up the turkeys (or ordering the pizzas, as the case may be) they can at least give the illusion of some time between the death & carnage, and a bunch of people standing around singing “We Gather Together” (or whatever that song is called. I’m the Devil, so I’m not exactly an authority on hymns, you understand.)

GH might not get the #1 spot in the ratings BUT it is the best soap on TV! The writers are doing such a wonderful job. Friday’s show was old school, a cliffhanger in a ratings period that was done perfectly with several actors performances standing out. On Monday, here is what I think will happen.

1.Julian must run and run far far away!

2. Franco dies saving Danny. Franco will go out a hero. Plus, we know, unless there is a recast, Patrick is not coming to PC to operate on Franco’s tumor. Franco out, Todd in!

3. Lulu will not die. She will go into a coma and be off camera in a long term care facility. They just wouldnt kill her off. She is a Spencer and the role will go back to JB. Plus, if Lulu died, Luke would have to be there for the funeral and he isnt coming back anytime soon.

Casualties: Dustin and Dev.

I just don’t get why they have gotten rid of Julian or lulu!! to bring back an idiot like brad who is nothing but an idiot
they could have changed the story without losing 2 great cast member’s so disgusted!

Parry Shen (Brad) is not on contract. They only pay him when he airs. William deVry and Emme Ryland are contract performers with guarantees and other associated fixed costs. Sadly, budget continues to be a driving force for soaps.

I am angry that they finally brought Dante back only to kill off Lulu. They needed to be reunited. Also, the same with Julian and Alexis. I am tired of all this Cyrus crap. There is so much heartache in the world right now it would be nice to see some hope. I am 66 years old and I watched GH with my mom after school but I am done with it until they are done with this horror.

I just want Franco, Elizabeth, and Cameron to be safe. If the writers had the guts to go for poetic justice, Danny would be injured due to his father’s and grandfather’s continued mob ties and loyalty.

In what world does “poetic justice” include a supposed serial killer, who never paid for any of his crimes walking away, while an innocent child pays for his grandfather’s idiocy?

Just wondering, because we’re looking for “poets” like that at Hell’s “Open Mic Night”

In a world where Franco has a legitimate medical reason for behavior and has CHANGED and Jason continues to put Sonny and the mob ahead of his children’s safety.

Jamie
Poetic justice is not a child suffering for his parent’s crimes. If you look up the meaning it will explain it better than I can. Poetic justice would have been if Julian had been killed by the bomb himself.

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’

Published

on

By

The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).

Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.

Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON

Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”

Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).

Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.

“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?

During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.

Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.

You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.

Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Reconnects with Danny; Tristan Roberts Arrives in Port Charles, Lots of Nods to #16

Published

on

By

General Hospital’s 16,000th episode was packed with little reminders through points in today’s script that the ABC daytime drama series has set another milestone and it paved the way for the return of fan favorite and newly nominated Daytime Emmy Lead Actor nominee Steve Burton (Jason Morgan). The 16,000th episode also introduced viewers to the new surgeon in Port Charles Dr. Tristan Roberts played by Dean Geyer. 

Here are the key takeaways and what went down on the July 13 episode: Tristan and Jason are seated next to each other on a plane heading to Port Charles. Throughout the flight, a beaten up Jason has flashbacks to being thrown into, and being held captive in a cell and tortured. It appears Jason is suffering from some form of PTSD from what he was put through after being dragged out of Port Charles by the WSB months ago.

As the plane prepares to land, Tristan tells Jason there would be a car waiting for him once they land and to enjoy the rest of his life. Later, Tristan arrives at the nurses and doctors hub at GH and approaches Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). He tells her his name and that he is the new surgeon on staff.

A REUNION PLUS A HEAD NURSE DEFENDS SONNY

Meanwhile, at the end of the episode, Jason is outside the Quartermaine boathouse looking bewildered when he runs into Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), who is so thrilled to see his father, and the two hugs each other as tears are shed.

Elsewhere, Elizabeth tells Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he thinks its a great idea for him to get the 16th seat on the hospital board, but when it comes times to convince Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) of that, things go awry when Tracy, Laura and Sonny try to work things out. After Tracy launches into Sonny about killing Alan and Monica’s son AJ, Sonny walks away dejected.

Next, Sonny runs into Elizabeth, where he informs her what happened with Tracy. So what’s a head nurse to do? Elizabeth marches into the conference room and reminds Tracy of all the different donations and ways Sonny has contributed to the hospital from the Stone Cates AIDS wing, to the Michael Corinthos Center for Pediatric Head Injuries as well as his constant support each year for the GH Nurses’ Ball.

WSB WAR SCARS

Then, in one of the best parts for longtime fans of the series, Elizabeth talks about her legendary grandparents, Audrey and Steve Hardy and she tells Tracy they would have wanted Sonny to have a seat on the board for all the good that he has done for the hospital. After Elizabeth states Sonny’s case, things took a turn and Tracy and Sonny wound up shaking hands as Sonny is board member #16.

In the how great was it to see Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) together scenes department, the pick-up of last Friday’s cliffhanger is played out as the two former lovers fill each other in on what has gone down in their lives in the last several months including Valentin admitting he had been living in Carly’s attic, and Anna realizing she was kidnapped by Cullum, Sidwell and Cassius Faison. During their conversation, Anna sees the hallucination of Peter August (Wes Ramsey) right while Valentin is standing there.

Later Anna was on her way to saying goodbye to Valentin, when the two share an emotional hug. After Valentin made his exit, Peter reappeared and warned Anna to not let Valentin distract her because she has important work to do. Anna answers, “I know.”

So, what did you think of General Hospital’s 16,000 episode? What do you think is wrong with Jason? What is the important “work” that Anna has to do? Were you glad to see Sonny get a seat on the hospital board, or not so much. Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out the scenes on Jason and Tristan’s long flight to Port Charles.
