On General Hospital, Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) life has completely unraveled, and so has she! After learning that her mother, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) was previously shacking up with her husband-to-be, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), during her nuptials, she reveals to the man she trusted she knows of his duplicity. All of this on the heels of losing custody of her children, Amelia and Wiley to her ex-husband, Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson).

During this week’s live conversation with Katelyn MacMullen, Avery Pohl, and their acting coach and soap alum, Holly Gagnier (ex-DAYS, OLTL and GH), on the Michael Fairman Channel, MacMullen opened up about the emotionally devastating scenes that aired this week on the ABC daytime drama series.

Knowing that the GH audience was waiting at home (with baited breath) to see Willow come to the realization of Nina and Drew’s duplicity and the scenes at the altar of their wedding, Katelyn shared, “It was definitely nerve-wracking, because there is this special bond with the audience, and you are aware of those scenes that you get where you’re like, ‘The audience has been waiting for this.’ I needed to show up and be my best, because if there’s any moment I really truly want to give to them, it’s in this moment, along the lines of a reveal, or when a story kind of climaxes. So, I was definitely nervous.”

With Willow having lost everything, including the rug being pulled out from under her, she shows up at Carly’s (Laura Wright) looking for Michael and her kids, complete with mascara running down her face, and looking crazed. Katelyn weighed-in on the moment, “After the wedding, I think for Willow, there’s been so much shock and trauma in this moment that she probably thinks ,’It’s s time to go see my kids now.” But is she ready? Absolutely not.”

Cameron Mathison had taken a lot of heat from the fans of GH, for his portrayal of a shady, manipulative, disdainful Drew Cain, but Katelyn had nothing but high praise for her scene partner, “He’s truly phenomenal, and then obviously his work is just incredible,” shared MacMullen. “I feel like I learned a lot from working with him because he’s been doing this for a while, and he’s so kind to me, and supportive, and always makes sure that I’m feeling okay. It’s been cool to navigate this storyline with him because we both have been like, ‘What is happening next? What are we doing?’ We’ve kind of had to dive in together. I feel very grateful.”

While fans have dumped on poor Willow over her clueless moments, MacMullen will stand by her character, ride or die, explaining, “I love Willow  I will defend her forever. She has had her clueless moments. Certainly, there’s been some stuff that’s gone under her personal radar, but that’s the character’s journey and where she’s at right now.”

When will it come out that Drew paid the nurse in Germany to keep Willow from seeing Michael? This is driving me crazy.

Michael told Drew he figured it out today. I’m not sure if/when he tells Willow.

Katelyn has done some of her best work this week. She brings the soapy drama (occasionally going over the top) with the perfect amount of craziness.

The payoff for this storyline has been worth the long wait – with Watros accumulating a powerful Emmy reel as well.

I agree

I love Willow flaws and all and I think Katelyn is a fabulous actress.

I’m loving Willow journey, and I feel she’s gonna go cray cray for a bit, but hey I bet Katelyn is enjoying playing this out, and Drew getting his comeupens is fun to watch. Keep up the good work Katelyn. I’ll be tuning in for sure.

Katelyn is really sinking her acting chops into this role. While I appreciate her giving some credit to Cameron, she already proved her acting prowess in the scene where Willow visits Baby Jonah’s graveside after she discovered that Wiley wasn’t the baby she gave up for adoption. On another note, Willow was dead wrong to blame all of her actions on Nina. And while she’s right to blame Drew for his manipulations and dishonesty, she needs to conduct some self-inventory and recognize that it was a series of horrible choices SHE made that led to the loss of her children. I’d like to see Willow come to a place of self- reckoning and to do that, she’s going to require a ton of psych therapy. Right now, Port Charles is fresh out of therapists. Paging Dr Kevin Collins! Please pick up the white courtesy phone- you’re needed right away.

If Lindstrom can’t return right now, how about a limited return for Anthony Montgomery? Andre has history with both Anna and Jordan. He also knows a lot about the Drew-Jason me memory implementation.

Or, let’s go way back and bring back Tom Hardy for a bit. Is Jack Ashford under contract at DAYS? David Wallace stopped acting years ago, but there’s plenty a 60-something soap actor that can add a family member to Elizabeth’s world.

Great idea. I think it would be interesting to hear Willow’s story which will explain her motivations- the same can be said of Nina. Really, anyone. At this point I’d welcome Lucy from Peanuts with her therapy booth saying,” The Doctor is In.”

Today Twitto said that Nina is just as much to blame for her losing her children. No, Willow. There is one person to blame- YOU! She has zero self awareness. She is such an annoying, self- righteous, little twit.

You are a fantastic actress and while it has been a slow journey getting to this point, I have loved watching your character grow and expand. Looking forward to seeing where Willow goes next, her storyline going forward.

I think Willow should DEFINITELY be submitting those reels for Emmy consideration. Her coming to Carly’s house was a phenomenal performance and her collapsing outside the door affected me as much as Taggart melting down inside the elevator after finding out about Trina or going further back, Brenda almost being ki””ed in the shower after betraying Sonny.
Great work Katie!

As Drew, he plays such a good part, you tend to forget it’s acting. I didn’t mentally separate the two until I saw him play a religious pastor on Life channel. He was just as believable in that part as GH. The negative people have to wake up, that’s why it’s called acting and he is an excellent actor! Good job!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

Published

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.

In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.

Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.

Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?

In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.

ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION

Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy  and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.

Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.

ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA

In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.

It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.

So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first check out the scenes featuring Anna on her road to recovery in France

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Drops First Single EDM/Dance Track ‘If You Need Me’

Published

By

Last weekend, we shared the news that General Hospital alum and Daytime Emmy winner, Chad Duell (ex-Michael Corinthos) was releasing his first single today on June 26th and it has indeed dropped! And for those readers who guessed that Duell’s first track out of the gate was going to be an EDM/Dance/House track … you are correct, sir!

The song entitled, “If You Need Me” is perfect for the late night clubs and can be found on Spotify and other major streaming platforms! Duell is noted as the performing artist, but as the composer/ lyricist and the beatmaker of the track. For his music projects, Chad is going solely by the name of “Duelly” which has been his social media handle for years.

Taking to his Instagram on Friday, Duell explained his deep dive into making music, expressing, “I’ve wanted to make music for a long time… I just never did it. It always felt like this huge, overwhelming thing to learn. All the technical side of it, the programs, everything that goes into actually building a track… it was easy to keep pushing it off.  A couple months ago I finally just decided to go for it.”

BIT BY BIT PUTTING IT TOGETHER

Chad added, “Since then I’ve been putting in a lot of time learning, experimenting, figuring things out, and slowly starting to find a sound I’m really proud of. This first release is more of a dance/EDM vibe, but I’ve also been working on a lot of different styles behind the scenes that I’m just as excited about. At some point I realized I could keep holding onto everything trying to make it perfect… or I could just start putting music out and grow as I go.”

Stepping out of his own way, Duell firmly says, “So that’s what I’m doing.  My first track “If You Need Me” is out now. More coming soon… this is just the beginning.”

As GH viewers know, Chad made the decision to step away from General Hospital after a 15-year run with the series where his last episode aired in January of 2025. By May of last year, the role was recast with Rory Gibson debuting in the part.

Give a listen below to Duelly’s “If You Need Me,” and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Did You Think of the Return of Anna Devane, and What’s In the Letter?

Published

Finola Hughes made her dramatic return on-screen on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of General Hospital. Viewers will see Finola as Anna Devane again on tomorrow’s June 26th episode.

In the story, while in the French mental health facility, Anna has a session with Dr. Laurent. She tell her she now knows she was never kidnapped and that Cesar Faison is dead.

As she continued with her ruse, she went on to say she understands she was enlisted back into the WSB on a secret mission, and through that she relived all the trauma she endured by Faison, which caused her to have a psychotic break. Anna promises Dr. Laurent that her treatment plan had helped her so much in figuring out what was real, and what was in her imagination.

ANNA’S GOT HER OWN PLAN TO ESCAPE

In a smart move (hopefully) Anna told Laurent if she could talk to someone else who had known Faison that it might aid in her recover. She was given the phone and she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), who agreed to fly to France in the morning. Dr. Laurent claims she is pleased with Anna’s progress, but that they still have a very long long way to go.

Now by herself, Anna pulled out a packet of letters from a bedside table. There is one in particular that she is fixated on. What does it contain? Is this all a part of her escape plan? Will she warn Felicia that “Nathan” is really Cassius (Ryan Paevey)? If so, will Felicia even believe her?

In a summer preview with Soap Opera Digest, GH co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten shared, “We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”

So, were you happy to see Anna Devane back on your screens? What do you think is in the particular letter she was staring at? Will Felicia help Anna escape or not believe a word she says? Weigh-in via the comment section.  But first, you can check out some of the scenes from Anna’s on-screen return below.
