This week on General Hospital, Laura’s (Genie Francis) children both find themselves in dire straits. First, Lulu’s diagnosis is revealed. And in the just-released promo for the ABC daytime drama series, Portia (Brooke Kerr) is informing Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Laura the results of the tests ran on a comatose Lulu, who’s liver was initially failing.

In the voice-over, we hear, “She needs a miracle.” And then Laura is heard saying, “The problem is, we don’t know where Lucky is.” We cut to Laura who is visiting Nikolas (Adam Huss) in prison. As longtime viewers know it was Nikolas who first came to Port Charles to save a teenaged Lulu when she needed a bone marrow transplant. His voice is heard saying, “You need to find Lucky and bring him home.”

Meanwhile, in the pick-up from Friday’s episode we see a captured Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), after confronted by yet another unknown man, asking, “Who are you?” At the end of the promo in Jonathan Jackson’s voice, we hear “Just call me Lucky.”

So, does Lucky hold the key to saving Lulu this time? Or is Laura just wanting him back asap to say goodbye to his sister? Stay tuned. Now take a look below at the official GH spoilers for the week of August 26-30th.

MONDAY, AUGUST 26

Tracy is shaken. Laura embarks on a mission. Anna enlists Robert’s help. Jason hears Brennan out. Brook Lynn has an emotional talk with Chase.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 27

Elizabeth and Carly are dumbstruck. Laura delivers dire news. Molly confides in Dex. Ric visits Alexis. Tracy lashes out.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28

Laura makes a big decision. Anna makes her case to Brennan. Sonny’s suspicions are confirmed. Ava is alarmed. Kristina contacts Jason.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 29

Kristina is devastated. Sonny makes a stunning offer. Drew gets a shocking call. Dante opens up to Olivia. Portia and Curtis discuss the future.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 30

Carly puts pressure on Sonny. Alexis faces off with John. Anna is persuasive. Michael worries about Willow. Ava is frightened.

Now, what do you think will go down? Is Lucky the only viable option to save Lulu’s life? Does Laura want her family all-around if this is the end for Lulu?

With the recent casting call going out for a recast in the role, it seems this all could be a great way to have Laura’s children all back on out screens, including if they eventually free Nikolas from prison. Share your thoughts via the comment section, and check out this week’s GH promo.

Oh this is going to be an awesome week! I can’t wait to see how the episodes play out. This feels a bit like the old GH now that we have Lucky back. They have to save Lulu and hopefully bring Nicholas home too.

I am so happy to read Adam Huss is back as Nicolas. Hope we see him more.

If they give Ava’s liver to Lulu I swear to gawd I am going to have trouble watching GH. Oh no, is this how they write Nina off!?! Jeez this is awful. I can see Martha Madison as Lulu. I hope they got her. But if they were determined to bring Lucky back I would have much preferred Greg Vaughn. I know people love Jonathan Jackson but I just don’t see it with all the lip-licking and MMkaying. Maybe he’s grown out of that?

I forgot the constantly swatting that one stray bunch of greasy hairs from his face and snorting/sniffling while looking away from the camera as emphasis. Ugh. Why, GH, WHY must we do this again?

I’m partial to Greg Vaughn also. I think J.J. prefers to be doing music and other acting gigs but I totally understand if he needed to come back to GH for some steady income. And I respect his legacy as the original Lucky. I just know someone who went to many of his concerts and she always bought the meet and greet packages. She said he was often asked by the concert goers if he’d return to GH and his answer was usually No. Anyway I hope he feels fulfilled at GH this time and I wish him well.

You’re right, Carrie. I was being particularly catty because I do not want to lose Maura West and Cynthia Watros. But I do wish JJ well. I just wish TPTB would have gone a different way story-wise.

Martha Madison is 47 and looks it. She’s a good actress and very attractive, but there’s no way she could play Lulu who’s supposed to be around 35 (since the last time they changed her birth date.) Emme Rylan and Julie Berman could easily play that age; I don’t see that Martha can pull that off.

Rumor has it… Jennifer Landon is recast Lulu!!! 🙂

Word on the street is that GH has cast Jennifer Landon as Lulu. 🙂

For the first time in a long while I am feeling optomistic about GH!

I don’t know how much of the downfall recently can be contributed to Patrick mulcahey. But while he was there we saw three major female characters practically destroyed. Laura in that awful save Heather story just made her look stupid. Thankfully CVE? has moved her out of that and she will have a storyline worthy of her with Lulu apparently coming back to life and the thrilling return of Johnathon Jackson.The show seems to be uncommitted to Adam Huss as Nicholas. Greg Vaughn would be a great Nicholas if they had him dye his hair black and had him get rid of that grey beard which ages him.I don’t know why they don’t see him in this role as he would be perfect!!

Anna has also been compromised as a corrupt police commissioner. Hopefully Chris will turn this around. I have always loved Anna but lately she has become really unlikeable.

And of course Ava has been practically destroyed. She had turned a corner and become rootable. The character really regressed into a loathsome evil bitch. I don’t know how much of this is because of PH but it has been difficult to watch. Again hopefully CVE will find a way to undo the damage to the character. In an interview with you Michael , Maura said the change in her character was not lost on her and that it was very sudden!

The final topic I wish to address is the ruination of Adam J Harrington’s character. He is a terrific and great looking actor who’s character of John Cates had such great potential but it appears that he has now been written as a raving lunatic CVE? What a shame! I really hope this is not the end of his character as he was a bright spot in many of the episodes over the last few months.

How do we know Adam Huss is back

Nothing has officially been said yet. But with Lucky soon to be back in town and Lulu waking up from veggieland, it seems logical that Laura might actually have all three of her kids around at the same time, for the first time since….. probably 2010 or so?

Rumor has it that Jennifer Landon is recast Lulu! 🙂

I may have posted to soon… I guess all that happened was a call out to Nicholas

He’s in the weekly preview hugging Genie Francis’ Laura.

Lucky is supposed to be a badass. That would be believable if Greg Vaughn were playing the role but with Jonathan Jackson not so much.

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)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? 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!

FINOLA HUGHES RETURNS

The final moments of the teaser promo reveal Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France. We have not seen her for months after Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal fed her hallucinogenics to make her believe her arch nemesis, Cesar Faison was alive!

Now, the doctors walk towards her hospital bed, where we see the super spy calmly knitting. Is Anna back to normal and playing everyone to get out of her predicament, or does she still remain deeply traumatized … or both?

Take a look at the rest of the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, JUNE 22
Willow gets an unwelcome surprise. Trina sticks to her guns. “Nathan” wants reassurance. Ethan advises Ava. Brook Lynn receives an update.

TUESDAY, JUNE 23
Dante cautions Liz. Laura learns a secret. Brook Lynn confides in Michael. Sonny challenges Ava. Chase makes a decision.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24
Anna meets with her doctor. Carly makes a stunning confession. Britt extracts a promise. Cullum pulls a fast one. Gio and Emma hit the pool.

THURSDAY, JUNE 25
Josslyn clashes with Cassius. Lulu and Dante make a discovery. Chase receives a warning. Jordan seeks help. Alexis is summoned to the PCPD.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26
Anna takes a huge risk. Britt is in grave danger. Willow is in disbelief. Danny must act fast. Curtis jumps to the wrong conclusion.

Check out the latest General Hospital promo entitled, “Rescue Mission” below.

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

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.
