Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital provided more to the back-story of what Finn (Michael Easton) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) did with Peter’s (Wes Ramsey) body after Finn tussled with the guy and Peter fell down the stairwell and hitting his head on the wall, to his supposed death.
In story, Liz became worried when thinking back to how she suggested to Finn – and that they carried out – putting Peter’s body in a freezer in the sub-basement of the hospital.
As she recalls their plot (to keep Peter’s body from being discovered until they have time to move him permanently), Anna (Finola Hughes) is on the move of the hospital and uncovers a hidden service elevator that might just take her to the sub-basement, where she could discover Peter’s lifeless body.
But hold the phone! While we know it was revealed that Wes Ramsey departed GH, could it be that Anna could discover the freezer with no sign of Peter in it? Do you really think his reign of terror is over given that he is Cesar Faison’s bio-son?
Share your thoughts: Do you think Peter is really dead, or will the character come back to haunt everyone and try to get revenge on all who tried to stand in his way of Maxie and his child? Comment below.
I feel like the writers really botched the opportunity for a great whodunit story involving Peter’s death. There were so many possible suspects it could have been – Maxie, Finn, Liz, Scott, Mac, Felicia, Valentin, Anna, Obrecht, Cameron, a very much alive Drew or Franco, etc. The list would have been endless, and it would have made for great drama. I wish they had capitalized on it instead of having Finn and Liz as co-conspirators in Peter’s demise. After months of his murderous and tormenting behaviour, it felt very anti-climactic for him to fall down a flight of stairs and die. I just hope he’s dead-dead and not soap “dead” because I never want to see Peter again.
Hi, Timmy
It’s been a while—so happy to “see” you here…
I agree with you about Finn and Liz. That caress spoke volumes.
If true—we shall see how they mesh—better than watching Anna with Finn—it hurt my eyes going through their scenes together.
I liked him with Hayden–albeit, I’m not into characters sleeping with exes’ siblings. Yuck!!
Nonetheless, the best pairing for Michael Easton was with Melissa Archer, OLTL.
Ciao, babe
Celia, so happy to know you are alive! Hope all is well. Yeah, Finn and Anna were a train wreck! Maybe him and Liz will have a go. Matter of fact, you mentioning Hayden triggered a story line that I could see happening down the road. Liz and Finny are knee deep in love and guess who comes home to reclaim her man, Hayden! Sorry babe!
LOL—-very well put, Timmy—yeah, I’m still around!! Imagine that!
Poor Liz; she’s been through so much and wouldn’t it be so typical for these writers to have an ex return and cause havoc —-
Speaking of havoc—my, oh my—Chase and Willow married ( I am loving this), with puppy-eyed Michael lurking in the proverbial shadows, hungrily wishing for some crumbs. Serves him right.
If Chase and Willow do end up in bed, she will probably get pregnant. Right?! Same old, same old. Who’ the Daddy?
Miraculously, after all that trauma, Chase will sprint from his hospital bed into Willow’s.
I think they belong together.
Yes, I so agree with you about Wes’ shortcomings. I doubt I would have liked him any better if he had played a good guy. He simply does not do it for me. Very wishy-washy.
Anders is one of a kind. No comparison. As evil as he was, he was pure entertainment as Cesar. He is a true thespian.
See you soon—-❤️
Hi Jimmy !!
That is 100% — a whodunit!
I just mentioned that, also..
There could be some suspenseful stories -only- if Peter is alive.
I do not believe Peter is dead, nope..
Because the writers can’t be that braindead ((can they lol)
Think about how great the story could have been if it were a whodunit murder! And the culprit? Heather Webber! She would have had the perfect motivation since Peter murdered the son she loved so much. Her connection with Franco was twisted, and it would have been an unexpected twist. Missed opportunity, IMO.
I’m starting to believe you, SusieQ. Do you want Peter to be alive? I am not sure, at this point, if he is or not.
I would think that, in order to appease Finn’s and Liz’s conscience, TPTB may keep Peter alive until he dies by someone else’s hand or by other means. He really doesn’t add anything to the show. As Timmm said, he’s a wimp and a coward.
Plus, when a story keeps going in circles, the viewer loses interest.
hey Satan-
There was no frost in the freezer and doubt there would be electricity in a sealed-off place.
Let Peter go!! he has a lot of excitement yet to be delivered!
Peter needs to face off with Valentin over his baby- Anna has to, eventually, kill him. Peter and Dr O need to plot his death. Much more to come-
It could be; A Who Killed Peter !?- A Whodunit!
Let Peter go I desperately need a dark bad guy to keep things interesting!
With Cyrus the Virus running the hospital for the last several months, it’s entirely possible that he found out about the basement lab and was using it as part of his drug operation. Not even Walter White would have had such a sophisticated drug lab!
Of course they sure cleaned up all traces of their activity if that were the case. No equipment of any kind, except for that freezer. And it’s a commercial food freezer, for Hell’s sake! Not even the cryogenic freeze chamber stuff that Helena had built in. Maybe Cyrus kept it stashed with frozen food, so his drug lab guys wouldn’t have to come up for lunch?
As far as a “dark villain” goes, I suspect we’re going to see Valentin embracing the dark side again, once he realizes that Brook Lynn was never pregnant, and that he gave up his control of ELQ for “nothing”. And Nina won’t be able to talk him down, because by the time this happens, she’s going to be too busy dealing with the fallout of her own stupid little game she’s been playing with Sonny & (by extension) his entire family.
Maybe Val will find out who his father is, at some point? It wasn’t Mikkos. I would really hate to see dead Faison getting yet another son that he doesn’t need, but…. as far as old guys (who are probably all dead now) who could have hooked up with Helena back in the day, Faison would probably be the most likely candidate. I don’t see old Edward Quartermaine interested in Helena, though we do know he “stepped out” on poor old Lila on numerous occasions (hence the existence of the Wards, Jimmy Lee Holt, etc.) Also that would invoke the “yuck” factor, since he’s already had sex with BrookLynn. I guess Jax’s father is a remote possibility (and he’s also long dead) but I can’t imagine Jerry staying away all this time, if he knew he had another brother – and one more inclined to help with a criminal enterprise than Jax himself would be.
Satan
I know how much you like Luke, but so did Helena. Is there any way she and Luke might have done the deed which produced Valentin? lol. Is Luke even old enough to be his bio dad?
Luke is technically old enough to be Val’s father…. but in the context of the years that he’s known Helena, that wouldn’t be old enough. Teenage Luke was hanging out in whorehouses somewhere in Florida, not anywhere near Greece or the Cassadines. There’s no evidence that Luke & Helena ever met before she turned up to curse his wedding to Laura (in the form of Elizabeth Taylor)
Satan,
Thanks for the update. Was not watching during that time. I’ve been feeling sorry for poor Val lately .So in love with that baby, but hopefully they find out the truth before Charlotte gets her hands on Papa’s new baby.
IKR. That’s one way of gauging if Wes Ramsey has really been let go or not. Laura Wright would probably be on Twitter tweeting out her resume to the other three soaps if they had truly let Ramsey go. She’s not. She’s happy as the bees knees which leads me to believe that not only is he still on contract but he’s coming back to the show very soon.
Harry
You seem to be right again. I just read a quote from him saying he’ll be back as “Mr. Peter or another character.” I can’t believe this, I thought we finally got rid of him.

Absolutely no sympathy for Peter on my part. Good riddance. Hope he enjoys the new and special version of Hell.
I’m with you here, Lew. Nelle is a “fun” villain the way Peter (or Y&R’s Sally) just isn’t. Maybe Cryogenics will bring Peter back? But I can’t imagine Petey Puke being any colder than he was already! Anyhow, I LIKE Elizabeth’s dark side here.
Hi Soaphound!: I hope Sally on Y&R is a short-term character. Loved her on B&B before she went nuts, but I don’t see her purpose. Everyone knows she’s a manipulating winch.
Lew S
Not finding anywhere else to post things for Y&R, I just have to speak of another manipulating bitch, Tara. I knew she would be bad news from the start but with Sally’s help, she’s outdone herself with all her threats to Summer. For once I want to tell her to run to her grandfather. Victor will take care of Tara in nothing flat.I am not a big fan of his, but I know this is something he could fix.
Violet, I had the same thought except I envisioned Phyllis going to Victor and saying, “The one thing we have in common is loving Summer. Let’s wipe this Tara witch off the face of Genoa City.” Or some such Phyllis-ism. Tara is beyond contempt and Sally’s role in this needs exposure, especially to suddenly clueless Lauren.
Soaphound
Love your idea too and speaking of Lauren, I wouldn’t want to be Tara or Sally when she finds out what they’ve been up to. She’ll take no prisoners. She can be a hellcat when prodded. She was not to gentle with Chelsea years ago when she screwed her over.
Ahhhh–Y&R—-Sally should disappear and take Michael Quartermaine with her.
And that other nonentity Tara? I pegged her phony innocent act from day one, and said so. She seduced Kyle who happened to be on the rebound. Are we sure Harrison is really his? It’s a soap—-every citizen of Anytown USA seems to have access to THE infamous lab!!
What is the point? How many times can Summer and Kyle break up?
As far as Peter—-Yuck—had enough of him. Even the name doesn’t suit him—Peter: from the Roman-Latin/Italian word, rock!!
Then, there’s Nina—-why? This sort of double life she’s is neither here nor there. What is the point? Everyone will hate her when the caca hits the fan. She is risking everything for his Hotness, hunky Mike. Not!!
Celia, Celia, this Nina story is a bore, a chore, and a snore. WHO thinks this will end well for anyone, least of all the beleaguered viewers? Painting “Mike” as a wandering heartthrob is laughable… James Dean he ain’t. And I have zero sympathy for bed-hopping Michael. His treatment of the loyal, loving Chase is betrayal of the WORST kind. And Y&R’s Sally and Tara are even more contemptible. No redeeming qualities in either character. They need to clean house over there.
Soaphound, not only is Sonny a hunky hearthrob, but he is also a hero. He saved not only the little town of Nixon Falls from lowlife-thieves ( so fitting, “Nixon falls” and then some) but also all its citizens of two. Business picked up so much, we have seen nary a soul in that fine establishment. And, Nina loves it there. Gimme a break. So unrealistic–I’d die!! Nonetheless, the crux of the matter? Can’t-live-without-you, Sonny—They should play Harry Nilsson’s version of ‘Without You”, right about now.
All Hail to Mike/Sonny. This is so stupid. Is this the end of Nina? She will be shunned —–and all the sophisticated, pretentious prudes ( that’s a hoot, hoot) of PC will say, ” get thee to a nunnery”.
I like Nina—so, I don’t like where this is going. Is this the end for her? Please no!! She should go back with Valentin—he has been “modified” LOL—-or maybe with Austin? I do not like Carly, yet this storyline concocted by ingenious writers will uplift Carly’s status to a glirified victim who can do no wrong!! If she had her way, she would prefer Jason not be romantically involved with anyone. She wants him. Jealous of Britt much?
The same goes for Lizzie—as much as I love the character, we are meant to forget her nasty deeds of manipulations and lies—the vuctim? Drew—lest we forget that little tidbit. She is now portrayed as the exemplar woman, wife and mother.
Both women are laden with righteous scruples.
Chase!! Oh, Chase!! Willow does not deserve him. She and Puppy Michael deserve each other. But, the bi*ch in me would be so gratified if Willow would stay with Chase—-just to stick it to Michael. However, he’s so cuddled by TPTB, no way will PC’s petit prince not get what he wants.
Forgive the typos–it’s 2 AM and my eyes will not stay open—-too tired to back-check. Nite–
The way the decks are being cleared of all things “villainy” at the moment, plus the inevitable fallout of Sonny returning to Port Charles & Nina facing the fallout of keeping Sonny’s whereabouts from his family for several months, it all sets the stage for a Nelle return. Presumably she must have washed up down river, just like Sonny did. Only in some other town that’s NOT “Nixon Falls”.

Peter is Not dead..
The writers would never write Liz or Finn as bad bad bad criminal people.
Peter’s story has not ended..
He will face off with Valentin in his baby story.
Peter is going on into other stories- until Anna kills him/self-defense..
There is more of Peter to come.
I like the character so I’m fine with it.
Long live Peter!
Hi Timmm 🙂
Good to hear from you.
aaawww- sorry I pissed you off with my right-on opinions LOL 🙂
The only side I’m on is mine..
Which other side would I be on?
0ooh I like Peter, that must be it.
Peter is a great character he starts fires and keeps my attention.
I hope the writers haven’t actually killed him off 🙁
Peter is not as good/great as his daddy, but he’s working it.
Nothing better for any soap than a dark nasty character to get peoples blood pressure up 🙂
ahhh what total bore without them—-
You may be right, SusieQ—-Peter may not be dead; even under ice—Peter must have a superhuman ability to play dead? The only discrepancy in this teory is the fact that Lizzie is a nurse, and Finn a doctor. Peter had no pulse. It’s a soap. Anything is possible. However—so glad not to see that face for the time being.
Your adoration of Peter is a little unnerving, but I get it. I like Cyrus—for different reasons. I find Peter’s fake, scary look both irritating and ridiculous— ain’t working for me.
As far as Finn and Liz regarded as criminals? Nah—self preservation. It was Finn or Peter taking that tumble down those stairs.
Hi Celia 🙂
I get a big kick outta Peter lol
I have chuckled and even had a laugh or two over his face/eyes expressions! lol_________________
He comes off as the eerie old B&W horror movies villain, at times. That’s when I have a laugh.
He entertains me ahaa!
I’m hopeful Peter will return.________________
Finn and Liz committed a crime by hiding a dead body- not reporting it-
but yeh there will be no mention of that fact.
__________________ 0ooh horror! that Cameron guy is going to play Drew — issh-
I do not like him.
And then that will bring Sam upfront.
I can not tolerate Sam .. so not happy about that.
That Cameron guy as Drew is so not right, nope.
SuOOO, I dont like Cameron at all. I didnt hear who he was going to play but, playing Drew, horrible choice! He is too old! I think Cameron will either be a Q or a Hardy?
hi Timmm–
Cameron will be Drew–
I will bet you a cyber Dairy Queen x-large cone with sprinkles!!
that he will be Drew!!
and–
he will be an awful Drew- totally a UUGGGEE casting mistake.
Where are you getting this from? Any confirmation that he’s going to be a Drew recast?? I’ve only seen that on a certain message board where 99.9% of the “spoilers” turn out to be fan fiction.
And even they didn’t come out and say he was a Drew recast… only vaguely implied it.
I certainly hope he’s not. Drew’s supposed to be Jason’s twin brother. We can suspend reality that he doesn’t have the same face, because of the convenient “accident” of Ava Jerome running over his face in a stolen SUV, just when he was thawed out from being a Cassadine popsicle and making his way home to Port Charles. Billy Miller was able to make that somewhat plausible. Don’t see it happening with a new guy and another drastically different face.
Hi Satan–
Cameron being Drew is just my opinion, the way I see it.
Sam is unless/not needed without a man..
So, bringing Drew back will save the Sam character.
My way of thinking Drew is mostly to do with Sam.
I do not, never have, liked Sam and would be more than happy to have her off my screen but Drew is meant to save Sam–
time will tell if I’m right…
And–
the Cameron guy will be horrible as Drew, totally horrible.
But– I could be wrong- hopefully 🙂
Satan
Check the search at the very top of Michael’s front page, putting in Cameron Mathison and there are three items with his thanks to GH for the opportunity.
I did see some vague reference to CM being told to grow a beard before he started filming. Though I can’t remember where I read that either.
I could see where that might be interpreted as an implication of a Drew recast, as beards on soap characters usually seem to only happen when somebody’s being held prisoner somewhere and not allowed anywhere near a razor, because they could be used as a weapon, or a tool to slice up your bedsheets and braid them into a rope to climb out a window (or whatever)
Since we know Whiny Heiny arranged Drew’s plane crash, it would be logical to assume he had some partners ready to take Drew into custody, once the plane was down. Assuming such people are still taking orders from Heiny, they’re probably wondering why they haven’t heard from him recently. (Because he’s in Hell, of course!!)
So based on that, I guess a case could be made for CM being a Drew recast. On the other horn, he could be this new “child psychologist” that Mikey mentioned the other day. A shrink might grow a beard just for the Hell of it, because it’s what Freud would have done. And then there’s this new crime family, the Novaks. Who apparently just blew up a Corinthos warehouse. They’re going to need some on screen representation. Previously we saw some older dude at the “Five Families” meetings, but he could always have a son who comes to Port Charles to handle their “business”. And wasn’t there a new buyer for Heiny’s media business, just before he tumbled down the stairs, and directly into Hell??
So that’s at least three potential new characters that CM could be playing. He doesn’t have to be a “nuDrew”.
SuOOO
I mentioned on another site about Cameron Mathison playing Drew. He’s a nice guy, but Drew he ain’t and never will be. First we get old Franco playing Johnny Appleseed or what ever and now Mr.Smily Face as Drew, I can’t stand it!
Hi Violet 🙂
We need the original Drew back-
Billy was treated so awfully bad I doubt he will ever return.
A shame what was done to Billy.
We will soon see who Camron will be-
I say he is the new Drew, and if I’m correct that will be a tragic recast.
0oooh and–
I do like Roger in his new character– he brings a smile and his humor is awesome. I envision Rogers’s new character as a winner..
Roger’s new character has just begun and I see Roger owning it ..
Anna and Sam are turning my stomach–
I know some love the two– but I’m not one.
ahaaa Camron as a TALL Drew with minture Sam UGHHH
Sam’s 6” heels will need to be stilts ahaa!
SuOOO
I agree with you about Drew and I’am liking this new Austin, except for his hair. I think Anna and Finn are a thing of the past, he’s already smitten with Liz. I hope Jason and Britt can be a couple, if only Carly can keep her clutches off of Jason. It will hopefully help when Sonny returns, if and when he gets his memories back and his mind off of Nina. I don’t know if he can handle two blondes at once.
You know, Violet, they must really think Port Charles denizens are complete fools. Spinelli can deduce that Jason and Carly are only marrying for business reasons, but Jax, Michael, Joss, and dim-Sam can’t? Britt is a favorite of mine; I think Jason is blowing it big time, rescuing the Shoe Clumper once again. Maybe Austin and Britt? Or Chase? I’d also like Lucas back and Brad, too. He and Britt are really fun together.
Actually, Michael figured it out pretty much instantly, and let his mom & uncle know that he was OK with the strategy. I don’t know why Jason chose to leave Sam in the dark. She obviously knows enough about the “family business” to understand how this works. Joss has been pretty well shielded from the inner workings of the mob so far, but she’s over 18 now, and a smart girl, so I think she could have handled the truth. Probably they left her out of it, because they thought she might have told her father. And Jax is always a “wild card” in terms of what he might do with inside information, if he could twist it to benefit his own interests.
I think the main problem with Peter is the same problem with Nick on Y&R. Nick cannot hold a candle to Victor and Peter cannot hold a candle to Cesar. Cesar was evil scary. Peter is a wimp!
Hi Timmm-
Ahh Peters facial (Villian) expressions are gold in the laugh department!!
I get a chuckle and laugh at his evil eyes ahaa!
Gotta take Peter for what the bad guy gives me- a laugh..
Peter entertains me lol..
Pete’s character is boring. He has done too many bad things and caused too much pain. If they do bring him Back, it should be with him going to jail. Chase and willow deserve each other and make a good couple. Michael does need a good woman as he has had a lot of bad relationships. Feel bad for the guy. Carley wants to control Jason’s life and I want Sonny to return sooner than later. Awaiting the fallout for Nina to get what she deserves.
I agree—my only regret is Nina’s state of mind. She had beome a loving, trusting character, yet the PTB have regressed as far as the character is concerned. Pity!!
When she first saw Sonny at Nixon Falls, she did try to tell Carly, but that insufferable witch started mouthing off—-I think this compelled Nina to stick it to Carly—-never her favorite person. However, what started as a supposed spiteful issue turned into true affection for Sonny/Mike. She shold correct that wrong——not a scrupulous thing to do.
Can’t wait to see how this all unfolds.
I have never liked Michael—-he is the boy who has never grown up —-he seems to always get into the wrong relationship—he has the tendency to pick up every other man’s leftovers/ crumbs. And, he is a hypocrite to boot—-as are Nina and Carly, at this point—“Do as I say, not as I do”.
I do not get any vibe between Willow and Michael. He’s just not the sexy, hunky lover—-he’s too dull ompared to Chace—-the guy could start a fire just with his looks. LOL.
Pardon the typos!!
Celia, I’m loving you even more today! Michael is a dweeb with a big bank account and badly in need of shampoo. What is Willow DOING? Is she so wrapped up in the Wiley-itis that has struck the entire city? I’m surprised Cyrus’s henchmen aren’t wandering around asking if Wiley is safe and happy! Even the royal princes never got this much attention. Meanwhile, when I saw Chase in that poolside lounge on Thursday, I went weak in the knees…while sitting down. The smile, the eyes, the hair, the sweet disposition…Willow needs her head examined. I also feel bad for Nina.. She can’t seem to get a break. For the first time, I envisioned Valentin forgiving anything she’s doing and them reuniting. Anna and he have as much fire as a vacuum cleaner.
HaHa—-I never really noticed Michael’s hair, except that it’s longer. No point, Soaphound —-he has neither the lupine characteristics of ‘love ’em and leave ’em” Don Giovanni, nor the inadvertent exudation of sex appeal regaled to only Chase. He is so beautiful, he doesn’t even know it.
Weeping Willow must be blind—-looks do not the person make, right? —
we should not be so superficial—OK. LOL.
There’s this little imp inside me that wants Chase to meet the love of his life, leaving Willow in the dust. And, alas!!—-Willow realizes what a fool she has been by choosing a toad instead of a prince.
Valentin and Anna—-even more boring than Finn and Anna. Not a fan of Anna. What is her role now? She’s on a quest—-find Louise and Peter, or bust. En garde, everybody!!
Sadly, Nina will eventually get her comeuppance—unavoidably so!! Is the character on her way out?
Then there’s Ava and her demons chasing her everywhere she goes, since she first walked on stage.
Some of these characters are presented as being so obtuse—Spencer is back. Put two and two together—-what do you get? There’s your demon—-albeit I think Nikolas has his suspicions.
At this point, the kids are more grounded than the adults.
Yet, I must say, I have found a newfound appreciation for Brook Lynn. I really like her.
I agree. Do you think Maxie will leave Port Charles? Brook – Lynn is really rocking her role and socking it to Valentin. However, I think that it is going to turn out very bad for her and her family when Valentin finds out. I really like Jason and Brit together. Brit has that Edge to her that makes her understand Jason and vis a vis. Sam has dump Jason too many times and always tries to play the victim. Jason, OMG, he deserves a day time award. He is just FABULOUS. LOL. It is Time to bring sonny back to port Charles. I am literally sitting on the edge of my couch biting my nails each time Sonny is in a situation where he could be discovered. DO NOT WANT CARLY and Jason to MARRY.
If Maxie leaves, I would think it will be on a temporary basis—–Maxie is a major character at this juncture—–it’s Sam who is one character too many, just sparring her nonsense with Dante.
Are Maxie and Spinelli becoming an item for the second time? ( or is it the third?).
As far as Brook Lynn—she’s proving her stuff—
Her return was perfectly orchestrated by TPTB—-what a coincidence! Her appearance indirectly killed two birds with one stone. Pardon the pun ( Peter and the fake nurse). Not only did she pull the wool over Valentin’s eyes ( and the rest of PC) to get her ELQ shares back, but also, helped Maxie.
My head is spinning trying to keep up with all the farcical stuff going around. It’s like an infectious disease. When it rains, it pours.
Then, there’s Curtis and his “Savoy”—really? The name denotes class and money. The Savoy Hotels are quite pricey, as well. Savoia, or Savoy is the name of the Italian Royals ( The House of Savoy, whose dynasty goes back to the 11th Century).
It just doesn’t make any sense—of all possible names?
Waiting with bated breath —hope most of all these mini-plots and suspense get resolved before the school year starts.

I’ll believe Ramsey is gone when he is removed from the Friday cast credits. All that’s been confirmed is that Peter is dead.
Please don’t pull a Easton/Howarth move and bring him back as another character.
With Peter still being considered alive (except by Finn and Elizabeth) the Maxie/BLQ storyline can progress. Anna can go an extended search (allowing for Finola’s traditional months-long summer break).

Too good to be true for Peter to be dead–at this point it’s anyone’s guess. Who knows what the mercurial writers will do from one day to the next.
However, I must commend them on Chase’s supposed dying scene. Whether he lives or dies, I was moved to tears —-We’ve all expeienced a scene such as this, so close to home—family members gathered around. It was so real—the acting was exceptional,, as well; especially Josh—and, the make-up people did an awesome job—Chase certainly did resemble someone who is very close to taking his last breath—-
I hope that’s not the case. Please do not let Chase die!!
Celia, you read my mind AGAIN. I was a pile of water when Chase said goodbye to little Violet. I hoped this story would show Josh as more than just an incredibly pretty face and he really delivered. So touching. As for Peter, I’ll be grateful for even just a break from seeing him. The one who’s really on my nerves is Dante. I swear, a garden gnome has better policing instincts!
I think I have the answer to the hair issue, Violet. Poor Roger must have gone to a local beauty parlor where trainees can practice on customers in exchange for a free cut. But, this looks like the trainee was blindfolded as well as inexperienced. Ugh! It really stands out since Chase’s hair has grown in the hospital and makes him even more gorgeous.
Soaphound
You are too funny, but glad we can laugh at poor Roger’s expense. Next I’ll be waiting for him to appear in a little green suit like they wear in the Alps.
Seriously though I can’t wait to see what his interest is in the Q’s board meeting that he was reading about.
What can I say, Soaphound—-great minds think alike? LOL.
Even in sickness, Chase is gorgeous—that face looks like it was chiseled by the master-painter himself, il Signor Michelangelo!! Never mind David!! —albeit I’d love to see a facsimile of Chase in Times Square instead of la Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence, Italy.
Seiously, Soaphound—-Josh’s performance brought out every single tormented fiber of my being in which I had not experienced in a very long time ( the passing of my baby), albeit I expected so much more emotional “outbreak” from his “mother”.
Thus, for me, it means only one thing—-in his quiet, unassuming way, Josh outdid himself.
Peter? Oh, Happy Day, if I never lay eyes on him again!!
Looks like there is another new actor in the younger set on General Hospital. Tristan Riggs is taking over the role of Elizabeth Webber’s (Rebecca Herbst) son, Aiden.
Previously, Enzo De Angelis played the part of Liz and Lucky’s (formerly Jonathan Jackson) son since 2021. Soap Opera Digest confirmed that Riggs is now firmly in the part.
The switch happened on today’s Thursday May 2nd episode in scenes. Recently, Aiden came out as gay to him mom after admitting his interest in one of his classmates.
Photo: ABC
As Riggs begins in the part, it looks like Aiden is being bullied at school. Elizabeth is trying to get to the bottom of things and made an appointment with school counselors to find out what’s going on, after seeing his book bag had pink paint on it.
Riggs has been acting since he was 7-year-0ld and has appeared on the TV series Walker, True Lies and Best Foot Forward to name a few.
So, what do you think of Tristan Riggs as the new Aiden? Do you hope Aiden’s story becomes more front and center? Comment below.
Juliet Donenfeld is the Temporary Recast as General Hospital’s Georgie
May 2, 2024
Those who saw the GH preview for today’s May 2nd episode were a bit confused when they saw a young actress sitting with Lois (Rena Sofer) and Violet (Jophielle Love). As it turns out, that young girl is a recast Georgie.
Juliet Donenfeld is stepping into the role temporarily replacing Lily Fisher. As viewers know, Georgie is the young daughter of Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) named after Maxie’s sister, Georgie who passed away.
According to Soap Opera News, Fisher will be back soon in the part.

“Daytime television invites viewers into the private lives of characters, often bringing important issues like cancer screenings into living rooms and around water coolers. Soaps debuted the first cancer storyline in 1962 – years before the topic was discussed in the mainstream, and it left an indelible impact: a whole generation of women who scheduled a potentially life-saving Pap smear for the first time,” said Daytime Stands Up host Alan Locher. “For so many viewers, this brought the issue front and center,” added co-host Michael Fairman. “Today, it’s become almost impossible to avoid; but there is hope with cancer research, thanks to organizations like Stand Up To Cancer.”
SU2C Co-Founder Sue Schwartz, SU2C President and CEO Julian Adams, Ph.D., and SU2C Health Equity Committee Member Elizabeth Jaffee, M.D., will also participate to speak to the importance of early detection, exciting scientific breakthroughs, and the ongoing work yet to be done to make screenings and treatment equitable for all.
“This year, an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer, presenting an opportunity for the public to stand with us and rise to the occasion,” said Adams. “We’re thankful to Alan Locher, Michael Fairman and our friends from the daytime television community, who will raise critical funding to honor those we’ve lost – and to propel new scientific breakthroughs for current and future patients. Everyone has a story, and we’re grateful to all of you for sharing yours.”
For over 15 years, SU2C has leveraged its relationship with the entertainment community – which includes more than 1,100 celebrity ambassadors – to generate public donations, increase awareness and fund cutting-edge cancer research. SU2C research has contributed to the development of more than 10 scientific breakthroughs that have significantly impacted the field and provided new treatment options for breast, colorectal, lung, melanoma, pancreatic, pediatric and prostate cancers.
