GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kristina Annoys Molly and TJ with Her Offer to be Their Surrogate
The General Hospital recap for Friday July 14th finds Kristina (Kate Mansi) being too pushy, and Molly (Holiday Mia Kriegel), TJ (Tajh Bellow) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) on edge. Previously, Molly overheard Kristina suggest that she become TJ and Molly’s surrogate in a conversation with Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Alexis while at the Savoy.
The aftermath of that statement is now having a ripple effect through the family. First, Alexis wants Sonny (Maurice Benard) to talk her daughter down from this notion.
Meanwhile at GH, TJ tells Portia (Brook Kerr), Trina (Tabyana Ali) and the rest of the family that Curtis (Donnell Turner) has made it through the surgery. The operating physician, Dr. Bernstorff, reveals that although they were able to remove the bullet, there were complications … Curtis remains in the ICU, still unconscious at the moment.
Next, Kristina approaches both TJ and Molly sharing how relieved she is that Curtis made it through surgery. TJ gets angry and lashes out at Kristina that Curtis could have died! As he walks away, Molly pushes away her sister, telling her, “Not now!”
Later, Kristina finds Molly alone. She asks if TJ is okay. Molly fires back, “Not everything is about you!” Kristina is confused. Molly pipes up and says she overheard her offer at the Savoy to give TJ the baby she can’t. Molly goes on to say that, as always, Kristina is making everything about her, including this proposed surrogacy.
Kristina is taken aback. She claims she was not thinking about herself, but her little sister. She points out she was willing to give up a year of her life to carry a baby to term for her, and yet, Molly is accusing her of being the selfish one.
Not wanting to continue the conversation because of Curtis’ condition, Molly asks Kristina to drop the subject, but Kristina won’t let up. TJ finds them arguing in the hallway of GH and asks them to keep it down. Alexis arrives out of the elevator, as Kristina blurts out she is clearly not good enough to be their surrogate and God forbid, the baby should turn out like her, and storms off.
So, are you annoyed with Kristina? Does this storyline annoy you? Are you intrigued to see how it would play out with Kristina as the surrogate for Molly and TJ, or do you want someone else to be their surrogate? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Do not like this new Molly. Even though Kristina can be a pest and obnoxious, she means well and comes on like a Mack truck. Subtly is not her thing. I’m glad she just walked away from them, they treat her like crap! I’m dying to see Molly fall off that high horse she’s on, such an uppity twit.
Violet, my friend, where do I begin? Everything you noted is true but… I’d rather watch paint dry than see any of these characters on my screen. The show is in one of those occasional troughs when every story is either: (1) dull beyond words, (2) moving slower than Dante’s brain cells, and/or (3) involves behavior that’s so repulsive (Tracy’s and Gladys’ stories) you can’t even enjoy watching it. For once, Y&R is more watchable than these tawdry tales.
No more baby hungry storylines! Even if it were the original actors playing these roles, I’d be fast forwarding through them. I never liked Molly so I’m not upset about the replacement. They should have just written Molly off the show.
Exactly right!
Sosphound,
Boy, are you right. While GH has always been one of my favorites, I have to say a lot of the players are not , especially Gladys, Tracy, Nina, Carly, Maxi, Kristina, Molly, Sam, Joss, Trina, Portia Ms.Wu, Sasha’s new letch Dr.,et all , bad spelling here, sorry. I won’t bore you with any more, didn’t realize there was that many that I couldn’t stand. I shouldn’t be watching, just habit I guess. Poor Dante, yes his brain is slow, how is he a cop?
I agree with most of the characters you dislike, Violet. I do like Nina but not with Sonny. She did a naughty thing but Carly and Drew deserved it—they did baaad!! LOL. Nina is just misunderstood —She’s been victimized my her own mother—if that doesn’t leave scars within one’s being, I don’t know what does. Carly is simply trash—no better word to describe her. And, Joss is following in her footsteps. Maxie is OK—I don’t know about the hair and eyebrows, though.
Yes, Soaphound—you said it!! Y&R is so much more watchable than GH these days.
Molly is another iffy character—no charisma—as far as Kristina, Kate is handling the character better than I expected.
Dante’s brain cells? Not Alighieri’s, right? LOL. He did modify Latin into Italian, afterall——Oh, you mean that Dante.
Please, please GH writers wrap up at least 1 storyline !!! Too many going on an am losing interest in the whole show !!
How do you wrap up a story when you don’t know who’s showing up to play the characters from one week to the next?
This would have been an awkward story even without recasts.

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

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.
