GENERAL HOSPITAL: New Year’s Eve Brings With It Murder And Plenty Of Smooches
Port Charles rings in 2019 with a night of celebration, love in the air, and a serial killer striking again. Many residents are gathering at the Metro Court for the New Year’s Eve party hosted by Ned (Wally Kurth) and Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) that benefits pediatric cancer research.
Meanwhile, Ryan (Jon Lindstrom) is heading over to the producer’s studio and edit bay where Peyton has been working on the documentary about the serial killer. Previously, after Peyton had made mention that Ryan could be alive, because he visited the site where Ryan died and no DNA was ever found. Ryan clearly wants to shut him up for good and alter the footage. We see Ryan with rubber gloves going into the bay, and later checking Peyton’s phone to see who might be looking for him.
Curtis (Donnell Turner) is heading over to meet Peyton. and promises Jordan (Briana Nicole Henry) he will meet her at the NYE party by midnight, after getting a text to move up their get-together from tomorrow to now! When Curtis arrives on the scene, he opens the edit bay door, and finds blood splattered everywhere, but no body. He calls Jordan to tell her there is a crime scene and to meet him.

At the hospital, Drew (Billy Miller) and Kim (Tamara Braun) share a tender moment, when Kim recounts that New Year’s Eve was when Oscar was conceived, and how she decided to be a single mom, but it was apparent how much she loved Drew, although he has no recollection of it. However, in the moment the two share a kiss which is witnessed by Julian (William deVry) who has returned from the Metro Court party to be with Kim to welcome in 2019. He sees Drew and Kim kissing through the window and hightails it back to the Metro Court. Will he end up in a smooch with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn)?

Ava (Maura West) is at her place lamenting over Kiki’s old New Year’s resolution and grieving her daughter. Ryan shows up vowing to not let anyone hurt Ava, and if they do they will have to contend with him. The two share a kiss. When will Ava realize she is cozying up with her daughter’s killer?
Inside the party, Michael (Chad Duell) is smitten with Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), while Willow shared a kiss with Chase (Josh Swickard), and Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) and Valerie (Brytni Sarpy) have an awkward moment between them, while Scott (Kin Shriner) and Laura (Genie Francis) chat it up about how “Kevin” is sleeping with Ava.

On the balcony of the Metro Court, Jason (Steve Burton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) share a moment and a kiss to ring in the New Year. However, Jason notices something off about the plastic snowman placed behind them, and sees some blood. When he kicks it over, Peyton falls out dead.
So, as 2019 begins, which duo’s are you rooting for to be together? Who will be next on Ryan’s murderous spree? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
An actor looks at the script, remembers his/her lines and delivers those lines. Jon Lindstrom makes his lines crackle and spark and he does it without resorting to mugging it up. His art is subtle and the result is powerful. Watching Ryan pretend to be Kevin is fascinating. Jon Lindstrom is the most talented actor on daytime period. This is why he’s getting so much work on the big screen, on Amazon. GH is lucky to have him.
Sasha is Nina’s sister…Daisy is Sam’s daughter…no dna found at murder scene?…Ava pregnant by Ryan…Val obviously gay…Chase the only cop-so commisioner Jordan has to be called when he too busy with Willow…Micheal also likes Willow…Willow Nina’s daughter…Nina and Willow dislike each other…Willow’s baby died but thinks her child is with Brad and Lucas but baby really is Nelles and Micheals…Mike has many forgetful moments due to his Alzsheimer and sometimes forgets Sonny is his son but never forgets Yvonne’s name…Jordans husband Curtis is really the son of his aunt stella who had an affair with Yvonnes husband Marcus…too many long lost children here…Scotty attracted to Ava but why when we rarely get to see him…Felicia should be involved more in Ryan’s story but of course it all goes to Carly…Carly and Nina has their own stories but thats not enough so lets get them more involved and practically take other characters stories and make them more theirs!!!!
Jimh, kudos to you, and Happy New Year! You have hit every nail, soundly on it’s head! Please explain why you think Sasha is Nina’s sister and Willow her daughter.I guess because Nina doesn’t think Charlotte is perfect, the way she does. I have always believed that Curtis is Stella’s son, but Marcus doesn’t seem to have as fond memories as Stella does. It is funny how Mike remembers Yvonne and Stella’s names. He likes his ladies. Now, tell us who the next victim is.
Carly will be next but survives…Maxi could be one-Peter will rescue her but gets stabbed himself…Peter will survive but its Maxi who wills him to live when she realizes she loves him and tells him so-BIG SNOOZE alert here!!!
Sasha is her sister because its a rumor i want to start and hope it spreads-lol
OK. Guess that’s as good a reason as any.
Want to see Jason and Sam make love general hospital it’s about time
After waiting this long, who cares anymore?
Anyone know the song on the closing credits today?

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.
