GH’s Nathanyael Grey on the Status of Bad Guy Mason Gatlin: “Where We Are In the Storyline Right Now, He’s Kind of Painted Himself into a Corner”

Last week on ABC’s General Hospital was a not a good one for Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey).  After abducting Ava Jerome (Maura West) and getting the orders from Cyrus (Jeff Kober) to abort his plan and bring her home safely, Mason decided to drag her to a cliff and do away with her, anyway.  However, that plan went bust when Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) shot Mason twice and Ava was rescued.

Now, recovering from the bullet wounds at GH, many are wondering if Cyrus, Sonny (Maurice Benard), or Austin (Roger Howarth) might do away with the guy who likes his lollipops this week on all-new episodes.

Playing the bad guy is nothing new to Nathanyael Grey. Throughout his career, he has taken on roles where the character he plays perpetrates many misdeeds to unsuspecting people.

On GH, Grey was brought in as the cousin to Austin Gatlin-Holt, and his arrival in Port Charles has brought nothing but misery to Ava, Austin, Sonny and others.

Speaking with Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue, Grey weighed-in on if Mason ever feels any pangs of guilt over his actions. Nathanyael responded: “I would say Mason is the type of person that’s like, ‘Well, in for a penny, in a for a pound. Too late now, might as well just go through with it.’ Where we are in the storyline right now, he’s kind of painted himself into a corner because of that. But I believe that’s how he got there.”

In real life, Grey shared that he may have to work a little overtime for people to know he is genuinely good guy and nothing like the character he plays: “I’m always smiling and happy. I think the only person on the set friendlier then me is Evan (Hofer). I mean, that guy hugs everyone.”

He added, “I always try to be nice to everyone and when I turn on the character, it’s more like going to the gym – it’s just a real quick rush and you just commit, and when it’s over, I just jump right back into me and I’m like, “Hi, everyone!” I try to goof off as much as possible. I don’t take myself so seriously.  I might look mean because they keep me with my head shaved, but I walk around, genuinely, with a smile on my face.”

So, do you think Nathanyael Grey makes an excellent bad guy on GH? Who do you think might do him in, once and for all? Share your comments and theories via the comment section below.

Yeah. I like to despise Mason, so Nathanyael is doing a great job!

Now thatTJ is starting to recognize Mason from his kidnapping, he will probably be on the “hit list”.>

Can’t stand this character. Can’t wait to get rid of him since he’s
added nothing to the show.

My thoughts exactly. Horrible actor. Gives me the creeps. His character is really unnecessary.

If he’s giving you the creeps for the role he’s playing, he’s actual a decent actor then.

If he gives you the creeps that means he’s a good actor lol.

This guy is great! Hope he sticks around GH.

Nathanyael Grey /Mason could be a good comedian……there is something about him thats humor…..He’s a good-looking guy…It would have been great is he was cast as someone elseand he’s a good actor, I like him…

With the shaved head & the lollipops, maybe he can get a “Kojak” revival series going. It’s one of the few 70s/80s TV shows that hasn’t had a reboot yet.

I was wondering who would do the deed, Austin or JT, just hope JT doesn’t get a conscience and go in and stop Austin or he’s not in time and gets blamed for it.

I love Mason, he’s really cool in an evil sorry of way. Hope he can stick around..

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)?

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

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.
