GENERAL HOSPITAL: Patrick and Sabrina Expecting A Bouncing Baby BOY!

On Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital, Sabrina (Teresa Castill0) finally made the decision with Patrick (Jason Thompson) by her side to find out the sex of their baby … and it is … a boy!

As expected and predicted by many, and us, it seemed likely that since Patrick was betrayed by Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) when he was expecting to be father to “their” son, and since he already had a daughter, that the powers-that-be intend on making Patrick a father to his first son.

Now the question is: Will this truly end up being Patrick’s bio-son? Will there yet be a twist coming and he is duped again and it is actually Carlos’ (Jeffrey Vincent Parise)?

And, where do you think the story will go from here? Will Patrick and Sabrina end up back together raising their son and little Emma (Brooklyn Rae Silzer)? Or, do you think soon Patrick will go down a dark path after the devastation at Robin  (Kimberly McCullough) leaving to go help Jason?  The good doc has not seemed happy in the least in the last several episodes we have seen him in.

Watch the clip of Patrick and Sabrina receiving the news about the sex of the baby after the jump! Then, let us know what you think lies ahead ?

I won’t be watching.

This s/l is as contrived and predictable as they come. Patrick clearly doesn’t seem as enthusiastic about this baby as he was about Emma. I get the feeling that TC’s real life mat leave is going to be a turning point in the story. They probably have her as being Sonny’s long lost sister, daughter, cousin, whatever, and so when the revelation unfolds, she and the baby will be in harm’s way, which will explain her temporary leave of absence. (side note…I know it’s wishful thinking, but I’m hoping TC’s absence won’t be so temporary…:) It will be a total disaster for all involved if the writers put Patrick and Sabrina back together again. That will only make the characters look completely foolish and pathetic and the writers even more so. However, I’ve come to expect asinine decisions when it comes to Ron and Co., so I’m not holding my breath.

I was thinking that Sabrina would be Sonny’s long lost daughter with Lily from years ago, too. Too many coincidences with Sabrina being from Puerto Rico and Carlos having mob connections, and Sabrina being related to Juan. I just hope that Obrecht didn’t somehow implant Sabrina with Dante and Lulu’s embryo. That would be another lengthy, terrible storyline to have to suffer through. A waste of time!

I think the baby will end up being Carlos’s.!

LOVE Patrick and Sabrina!!!

They’re about the only couple worth rooting for on this show here lately.

I love Alexis and Julian; but, hate that Julian is helping faux Luke traffic drugs.

I’m starting to think that faux Luke has something over Julian…is controlling Julian in some way. Julian, who was at first portrayed to be a tough guy….someone you didn’t cross…seems to take his orders for “Luke.”

I think they’re trying to make Julian somewhat more redeemable in order for the saga of Alexis and Julian to continue…Julian obviously doesn’t do drugs…traffic or partake in…he objected to it initially, he refused to try out the stuff…he is obviously as put out as we are at “Luke’s” womanizing…

I’m lovin’ Julian more and more!

Once again…without edit button…let me clarify:

“from” Luke, not “for”

And, yes, Julian is controlled in so much as “Luke” is putting in some big bucks…but why does the powerful Julian Jerome need to be bankrolled; wouldn’t he have his own cash?

Hmmm…something’s rotten in Port Charles…and, yes, rebecca1 , I think Julian is sexy…that’s a real feat for me…considering he’s old enough to be my dad . But, he has that certain
Je ne sais quoi? …male magnetism.
No, Julian does not do drugs. The writers need to show some redeeming quality about him, I think. Perhaps this is one of them…are there any more? He has become a very likable character, so he is being prepped to transition into a good guy? Maybe?
Luke is really starting to p__s me off. I never liked him as the real Luke, I like him even less now. His eyes are so rheumy and he does look like a perv.
Also, I am really enjoying Spenser, “Le Petit Prince”. What a cutie..lol.

Hey FAS! Yes, I agree…I LOVE lil Spencer! I know some fans were put off by him but I thought he had just the right adorable arrogance to play the prince-in-the-making. And I love the relationship between he and Nicolas. That’s some of the best writing there…small scenes between a boy and his dad who, in the midst of wealth and privilege, tries to teach his son good values. The exchanges between them are endearing and oh-so-charming.

I’m very impressed with Tony Geary. He’s pissing me off and grossing me out…which means he’s doing a great job!

True enough, rebecca1, Anthony Geary is doing such a fantastic job that sometimes I forget it is not reality. You are absolutely right…it shows.
Little Spencer is a wonder to watch…he is as precocious as my little brother. And, yes, the relationship between him and his father is so believable and effortless. I appreciate the fact that his care and discipline are not left for the nannies. The writers are doing a super job showing how hands-on Nikolas is.

First, my grammar sucked in my last response. To put it mildly…egads! LOL.

The more I watch Spencer, the more I fall in love with the little guy. He is the epitome of adorability…and his “attitude” is hilarious. I find myself laughing out loud…(there is NO way I was going to write LOL for that one ;))…

I am sorry – I just can’t watch Patrick and Sabrina be happy and have the writers write this happy story of being a happy family — when they destroyed a 30 year legacy character with the most disrespectful and poorly written exit. They made Robin hated by so many people and those same people directed their insults at KMc — who has dedicated so many years to GH. It is actually painful to watch. I just can’t get on board of Patrina when Robin was destroyed.

Most all were OK with Patrick moving on, after Kim/Robin left GH the first time and most all wished her well….
since she came back for a short stay, now they can’t get over it.. lol
So silly ..

The biggest mistake in soap history was FV/RC bringing Robin back for her very short stay knowing she was leaving , again..

Another mistake RC made was not keeping her dead, as Kim wanted when she left the first time..
He should have killed her dead this time to avoid another mistake of her coming back, to only leave again..

anyways.. Patrick and Sabrina were a couple after Robins first exit, and most all were ok with it then while believing Robin was dead and Kim moved out and on, and not returning..

I agree. The same happened with Vanessa Marcil. She was brought back for a year. Brenda was written as a victim, lost her fire and spark. Married Sonny, only to divorce him a couple of months later. I was so disappointed. My favorite supercouple of all time is Sonny and Brenda. Such a disservice to the fans. The way Robin exited, up and leaving her family to save a frozen Jason-ridiculous. Would have been better if Robin didn’t return.

Don’t agree with “most all were OK with Patrick moving on…”

Definitely an untrue statement. The biggest mistake the writers made was pairing Patrick up with a character like Sabrina. He needs an equal–someone that will challenge him both in and out of the bedroom. Not a doormat that worships him and is okay with any scraps of affection he doles out.

And let’s not forget that Patrick is still MARRIED to Robin. Please don’t tell me the angelic Sabrina is going to commit a sin?

Are the Sabrina fans okay with this storyline for their heroine?

I could care less if Patrick moves on…I like his character a lot and I’d like to see him and Emma in more scenes/story lines.

This is a fictitious world people…as was stated so many times before the actress Kimberly decided to move on with her REAL life…so fans should be able to move on in their fiction ones.
And I don’t think the writers “ruined” Robin or the couple. She decided to leave the show…and saving her best friend from certain death was as good a reason as any for her to leave. Most of you are like,” I can’t believe she left her family “just” to save her friend/one-time love’s life! How dare she!!!” LOL…C’mon…if they’re going to give her a reason that’s a pretty damn good one!

As for Patrick and Sabrina; I like them together. However, the only reason I wouldn’t want them getting back together is because I’d find it difficult to believe that a woman left at the alter on her wedding day…discarded after her fiance’s wife returns…has the knowledge that he chose to leave and loves another woman…would be able to forget all of that and lead an emotionally secure life with that same man.

I do hope the baby is Patrick’s. It would be beyond ridiculous to do that to Patrick again, it would go against Sabrina’s character to lie about it…she said she didn’t sleep with Carlos and therefore it could only be Patrick’s. Unless…Carlos made love to her while she was sleeping, unconscious or drugged….

Hope not.

Its not that Sabrina told a lie she do not know what happen. That is not her fault but common sense should know if you wake up in a man s bed naked what do you expect. Carlos loves Sabrina likes he says do you think if he had a opportunity to slept with her he would not. Come on. I think Carlos remember he just do not want to tell her because she will be disappointed.
They did ruin her, why do you think her fans some say thinks about her leaving. The fans did not think that until that happen. Fans are really believing that. But Sabrina bless her heart can not do anything wrong. Now why would you think you can come to a married man house because you were invited by the daughter. You should have met them there at the Metro court. Now you are looking crazy. I do not watch it now because I know it soap opera but please let have some logic in the story.

I happens all the time .Person has to be chosen and Robin was get over it.

I agree with you 120%. I have stop watching GH because of that reason. Throwing Robin under the bus. Some viewer are to crazy to realize that it Robin.
To let the writer do that to her.

I do think the show is going to keep the baby Patrick’s but with everything else going on in his life he may not be as happy about it as he should be.Plus with Teresa Castill going on maternity leave soon it should be interesting to see what happens with Patrick with neither Robin or Sabrina around.

It was a given that RC would give Patrick a son..
Patrick and Sabrina will be happy for 2-3 months then they will have big problems..
It is a soap.. and there are no happy ever afters, we all know that..
So, in time Patrick and Sabrina will part..
There are no forever’s on soaps, all couples part.. it is the way it is 🙂
When that happens I would like for Patrick to be alone, he needs that..
Sabrina with someone new or Carlos and that would pull Sabrina into the mob action..

((hmm wonder what will happen to this baby? ALL babies are drama, that is what they are for; Parent drama makers …. lol 🙂

I don’t see any appeal with the actor or character who plays Carlos. Are we really supposed to believe that Carlos was interested in Sabrina pre-makeover, with bushy big hair and glasses and that they had tons of sex? I don’t think so.

LOL…true… but on the other hand if they did have “tons of sex” he knew what she looked liked under the big hair and glasses…and maybe liked knowing that the way she portrayed her old self in public wasn’t a man magnet.

Hey, as Olivia once pointed out in all her Bensonhurst wisdom, “Every pot has a lid.” Ours is not to reason why…..

It hard to say, I think Patrick will eventually get tied of Robin fly by night actions and ask for a divorce. He will realize Sabrina is the one he really wants to be with, but Carlos will continue to butt in where and when he is not wanted. The only one who can put a stop to that is Sabrina, but I think he likes when Carlos gets under Patrick skin. But the baby is Patick’s.

I agree.Patrick may eventually realize he can’t put his life or Emma’s on hold waiting for Robin to return.Now i’m not saying he will want to immediately reunite with Sabrina but as they spend time together his old feelings for her might resurface again.However even if Patrick wants her back Sabrina may not be so willing to run back into his arms because she could worry what will happen when Robin returns again.So she could be afraid that Patrick will go back to Robin again or he only wants her because Robin is not there.With Carlos Sabrina may know she comes first

That’s not news. It’s a devastation that this is storyline worthy. If poor Jake can have a funeral off screen, surely Sabrina can have her pregnancy storyline off screen too!

Im sick of all the baby drama on GH…next Nina will show up with Silas’s young son Silo…Nursery Hospital is GHs new name…well, i still like most of the show anyway but lets not make this baby Dante and Lulu’s…been there, done with that…let the beanie baby be Carlos’s and pair him with Sabrina because they do have better chemistry together than Sabrina and Patrick and it would be a little nice to see more ethnic families in daytime!!!

And i know if Silas’s son does show up he’ll be around 20 unless Kiki really is Nina’s!!!

It wouldn’t surprise, me, if Kiki… was Nina’s…

aren’t we all, just over… and tired… of Michael and Kiki

letting go of characters… ie: AJ, Connie, …. and, i’m not even venturing… on who else…

because… the writing is so mishap…. why… do they continue to force, viewers… to like… “love” , root for dullsville… dare I say… boring… pair, couple, item, duo… that they are so uninteresting….

Michael.. is on a rampage… “who killed my father” i’d do the same thing.. so as not to watch snooze fest… Sonny and Michael… Carly and Michael, Kiki and Michael… sorry to see that even Olivia has been strapped with comforting, and caring for Michael….

Kiki… has shown not one iota of respect and bonding with Ava… I don’t care at this point

heck… Luke can HAVE her

———–

MAN! isn’t Wally Kurth handsome ! will Luke sign the pre-nup? caught him red handed…

already… convoluted and unbelieveable…. AG’ Luke is not drawing in

let alone.. TJ and Sean’s new mom… working at the gallery… TELLING Julian… that she want’s in …. and that she’s in the know… about moving product… give me a break… she doesn’t click or move me

Michael Easton’ Silas… has so much going ON… first it was Rafe… then he got involved with Sam and Daniel… then it was Kiki… now he has a whole nother family to contend… Nina and child ARE alive… ??? they need to steer clear of all this family/personal stuff…. give him some good story at the hospital… with his JOB…

ummh…

OH… that’s right… Kathleen Gati’ Dr. O : continues : to STEAL the show

Ugh, can’t stand Kiki. What a waste of air-time! I was over Michael and Kiki when they were Michael and Starr. Totally boring and dull. I cringe each time Kristen Alderson is on, with her smug Kiki look. Send her back to Llanview, please! I wish we got to see Monica and Tracy kick Kiki and Morgan out of the Q’s boat house. That would have been a great scene to watch! Instead, we heard about it off-air! Both characters are so despicable and such moochers!

Why does Spenser call Luke ‘Uncle’…wasnt Luke his StepGrandpa? I hardly watched in the late 1990s and early 2000s but i know Nik is Laura’s son and Spenser her grandson so i thought Luke was his stepgrandaddy and not his uncle…who was his mommy???

Courtney, Sonny’s sister is Spencer’s mom…and since Lulu is Nic’s sister…she’s Spencer’s aunt…hence Luke (Lulu’s father) is Spencer’s grand uncle? Uncle once removed? And yes, he is also the step granddaddy on Laura’s side as well. I think. Errrrrr…confusing!

Are people who post comments fans of the show? It seems like no matter what the topic or whatever soap, all commenters are negative and complainers.

Thats what these message boards are mostly for…to discuss what we like and dislike about our soaps…not all comments are negative and complainers…the world we live in isnt %100 percent perfect nor is our pretend worlds we live in five days a week…lol

I agree. What do you think the message board is for Mika

I think a lot of us are just annoyed with the show, right now, and the direction it has taken. It’s sad, because so many of us are long-time viewers and we feel slighted; yet, it’s hard to just stop watching because we all have our favorite characters and couples.

Agreed…we do have our favorite characters and couples, yet they are systematically being replaced by largely untalented usurpers who really don’t fit into the Port Charles landscape at all….that is the frustration that those of us attuned to GH’s rich history feel and find to be so offensive. It’s one thing to add a new character here and there when they have a very real and plausible link to the past great families, so there is continuity and clarity in their presence. (Like Britt and Dr. O….they make perfect sense in the scheme of things, and I am even finding Nathan to be a bit more bearable since being revealed as Mutta’s offspring…and probably a Cassadine, as well!) It’s those stubbornly out-of-place peeps like Sabrina, Car-LOS!, Felix and now, Jordan, that seemingly make no sense and have no purpose. (The verdict is still out on Levi….on first impression, I absolutely cannot stand him, as he is bizarre and off-putting, but I am suspecting he has some ulterior motive and hidden rationale to be visiting “Maxiland.” Hopefully, it will soon be revealed because he certainly does not appear to be going down a treat with viewers.) As for Kiki, who you previously mentioned, I also consider her to be a truly failed “Cartini” experiment, but it is more the creators’ fault than KA’s….I did not mind her as Starr, but the new role was never a good fit for her. That being said, I thought she comported herself (and held her own….) quite ably in yesterday’s scene with AG’s beyond creepy, predatory “FLuke” ….when she launched her knee into his “Long John” and “Dunkin’ Munchkins,” (a bit of donut imagery there…) I thought “You go, Girl!” Apparently “Mama Bear” Ava taught her well…..LOL.

Mika, the fact that a majority of the comments are negative might tell you something. And you should also know that many of the commentators have been ardently loyal fans of GH for many years (Like that Leave it to Beaver person).
The fact that the usually positive commentators are finally complaining is indicative to the choppy writing .

Mika…I don’t think everyone is complaining all the time. I think one person likes a character and another doesn’t; one person likes a storyline and another doesn’t, one likes or doesn’t care about a character being killed off, another doesn’t…etc and so on…..

That’s when the debates begin, the “team sides” battle and the troops rally! LOL.

There’s also different interpretations of characters motives…rationales why he/she does or says something…etc.

“It reminds me of that old joke- you know, a guy walks into a psychiatrist’s office and says, hey doc, my brother’s crazy! He thinks he’s a chicken. Then the doc says, why don’t you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. I guess that’s how I feel about relationships. They’re totally crazy, irrational, and absurd, but we keep going through it because we need the eggs.” … Woody Allen

Thank God for people like you in our world, rebecca1…. I don’t know you, but I love you. You simplify the human mind and the goings-on in soaps with finesse. I thought my mother was the only one who perfected that quality.

Oh FAS…that was such a nice thing to say! Thank you for your appreciation. I look forward to more soapy analysis with you and others here in this microcosm of our unreal world…” People like you are what makes this site fun!

THIS IS PATRICK BABY IT IS HIS FIRST SON AND SABRINA DIDN’T HAVE SEX WITH CARLOS BUT IT IS FUN TO WATCH CARLOS AND PATRICK GET INTO EACH OTHER FACE OVER SABRINA AND THE BABY I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN SABRINA HAVE THE BABY AND PATRICK AND SABRINA GET BACK TOGETHER AND TO SEE PATRICK TIRED TO KEEP CARLOS OUT OF THERE LIVES BUT I SEE IT LIKE THIS IF SABRINA DEAL WITH ROBIN THEN PATRICK HAS TO DEAL WITH CARLOS BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO BE A PART OF HER LIFE

I totally. agree… about watching… Carlos and Patrick… getting it on.. and stewing… over lady Sabrina… with child

if all else fails… at least have these two men… stalwarts… worth the audience time… to catch these two MENS duelling it out

The idea of Carlos and Patrick fighting over Sabrina is almost as preposterous as Michael and Morgan duking it out over Kiki…give me a break.

@MegB

I agree, 100%

for lack of better story

Carlos and Patrick… are good actors who intrigue

this beats watching the Sonny, Carly, Olivia, Michael, Kiki, Luke, mishap

and, who knows… where Dante and Lulu will end up
and, who knows… where Nick and Britt will end up

I hope Kathleen Gati, Dr. O doesn’t flounder

there’s so much going on… with many on the canvas… with Ava and Julian…

and… Silas, and Sam/Daniel

that it sems a crap shoot

I’m wishing the best

BUT I WOULD LOVE FOR CARLOS TO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND IN HIS LIFE LIKE A GIRL FROM HIS PAST

This better be Carlos’ baby!!!

It is !!!!!

If they do a twist on this storyline then it will be insulting to the character of Sabrina, not every storyline has to have a twist that would be to predictable and tiring . Just let the baby be Patricks and move on with them either together or sharing custody but enough with cartoon twist….

Lol, Aria. That’s too easy.

agree. Its too easy Sabrina need some dram in her life. After all when Britt said that it was Patrick baby Sabrina did all she could to prove that it was not Patrick now the table is on her.

There will be no fun it is not a twist. Remember Sabrina is not prefect. Everyone of her fans want to be. It ok to trash Robin so trash her. The Princess

That definitely rated as a “lost my lunch” moment…….

A agree. That was good Shay.

I think now that Patrick is finally excited about the baby, the writers are going to destroy Patrick by making the baby die. It seems they like to heap emotional pain on Patrick. I don’t see why the show can’t let Patrick at least have his son to give him some happiness, they don’t have have to pair him and Sabrina back if the majority doesn’t want it. People can co-parent without being romantically involved.

making the storyline interesting. Go head on RC, write your story. Patrick can take it. he is a men. That is what soap is about.

Awesome scenes! I thinks it’s amazing was Teresa and Jason can do with no build up and just 3.5 minutes. The scenes were heart felt and sincere which in my oppion is one of the things that makes this couple so special. Happy that it’s a boy and looking forward to finally getting a story that is about Sabrina and Patrick.

Oh, Patrick will enjoy “his” new son….until the writers decide to make the baby Carlos’s….one can only hope.

From your lips to God’s ear, FAS! This farce is getting really unbearable…..we’ve been there, done that with these two and it didn’t work the first time. Why must we be subjected to “Chapter Two?” As Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That is the perfect word for this awful mess of a coupling….”Insanity!”

Let them get married and take care of their two children.
Please no more BABY DRAMA.The baby is Patrick’s. They are a handsome couple.He is handsome and she is pretty.Why can’t the writers make this couple be the exception. Let them be happy and loving. I wrote this same thing a year ago. I love Patrina.

Sheri
ear ago. I love Patrons

You are right as usual, rebecca1…….It would be against Sabrina’s principles to fabricate a story like that. She would never pass someone else’s baby as a Patricks. However, your last sentence explains it well. I have been harping on this since the onset. It does not mean I’m right, but I think Sabrina was drunk out of her mind that night….she may have gotten frisky and euphoric…enough to encourage Carlos….and, there you have it…Sabrrrrina + Carrrrlos = niño.

The thing I am unhappy about is how stupid you are making Sonny look.

Okay, so, I get this weird feeling that Sabrina, Patrick and Emma will get into a car accident. They will survive, but Sabrina will lose the baby.

Oh, it would be a real plot twist if Sabrina needed plasma…a blood transfusion; but her blood type was rare……enter Sonny. I had posted the fact that Sabrina may very well be Sonny’s daughter a while back….no? It’s possible in soapland.

The question is…was this a real accident, or did Luke and Ava , unbeknownst to the other, do a double whammy? Please, writers. Don’t kill anybody off…I hate that…I do not like to see death…real or not.

I sure hope the baby is Carlos’! That would mean we’ll see more of him! I LOVE watching Jeffrey Vincent Parise. He is KILLING his scenes!!!

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

Photo: ABC

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.
