Tensions are running high and reach the breaking point the week of July 29th on General Hospital.  In the just released promo for the ABC daytime drama series, much of the action is inside and outside of the courtroom. When the judge says “All rise,” Jason (Steve Burton) is next to Sonny (Maurice Benard), while Cates (Adam J. Harrigton) is behind them to the side, and Carly (Laura Wright) is about to have her day in court.

As viewers know, last week, Sonny went to get his gun to use it on Cates for trying to takedown his ex-wife and the mother to his daughter. Meanwhile, Ava (Maura West) looks mighty pleased with herself as this is the moment she has been waiting for. She says that Sonny is “going to have a total meltdown.” In another scene, Sonny is about to attack John outside of the courtroom, and Brennan (Charles Mesure) is back. Will he turn up evidence to help Carly?

Elsewhere, Kristina (Kate Mansi) is shocked when she opens her door and is served papers, as TJ (Tajh Bellow) tells Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) they have a problem with Kristina. He asks her what is she going to do about the situation, concerning the arrangement they had that with her daughter. From all accounts, it appears Kristina wants to keep the unborn child and not terminate her rights to the child, so Molly (Krist and TJ can adopt it.

And, in the final moment of the preview, someone is looking on from a far at Ava. Is she a target? Lastly, a women’s voice is heard saying, “Help her!” Taking all that into consideration, check out the official GH spoilers for the week below.

Ugh. The Carly Mob Hour is returning, and it’s so upsetting. And knowing the set-up to remove Ava Jerome from the show is also upsetting. The heart and complexity Patrick Mulcahey was bringing to this stale soap is slowly being removed for more violence and darkness, and that is not what this soap is at its truest and purest core. Shame. And disappointment.

Please bring Brennan back !!! He is amazing ! Love to see him with Anna. Love to see a real Carly and Jason lovestory. Enough of Cates. Ava and Rick would be outstanding ! Maura West is fabulous !!

Patty, I’m loving this Brennan guy, but can’t make up my mind which lady should get the prize! Anna is still in love with Valentin and Brennan is interested in Carly. Yes, Maura West is a good actress but I’m really sick of her evil ways to get what she wants.

I Am getting really sick of all this STUFF! Carly and Jason act ridiculous, are they IN love or what? Their relationship is totally stupid.and tiresome. I hope someone does do Ava in, she’s a despicable person, always causing trouble for someone, and sorry to her fans, but she has no redeeming qualities, and if I were a man, could not find her the least bit attractive.John and Ava are just using each other and I see nothing real there.I really miss GH, the way it was and am surly not not looking to a new Luke Spencer , if that s true. Sorry about the rant, but it’s worse than it’s ever been, including Alexis’s daughters and what a mess they are. The only good thing was Molly telling John off at the Court House.

Totally agree with you about the Jason/Carly thing. Carly acts like a high school kid regarding Jason. And both of them overlook their own children to save each other.

I’m starting to wonder if there’s a twist coming here. That little meltdown at the end of Monday’s episode made a Devil wonder if Sonny’s not the only one who is off his meds. Because NuJagger looked even more irrational than Sonny.

So who’s messing with HIS prescription, if that’s the case?

I would like to see nuJagger melt down while Sonny sits and watches with his smirk on his face. I want redemption for Sonny and for Valentine and Ava to be exposed for tampering with Sonny’s meds. Tampering with a person’s meds is despicable, but is a GH “tradition” going alway the way back to Tracy withholding Edwards meds during his heartache.

I agree with your statement totally. I also can’t understand the crazy Pharmacist that is letting this go on ,with only a dumb blonde’s threats to scare his pants off.

Was your tongue in your cheek as you typed this, or were you serious, because I was going to say that Jagger needed some meds himself. He looked like he was going to have a Coronary. Oh, well, one can only hope.

No I was 666% serious! I expected Sonny to get pissed off, since NuJagger was clearly goading him into it. But Jagger was way out of control,first the way he was talking to Molly, just because she happens to be Sonny’s niece. And then just absolutely exploding at the end with all that dragonshit about Stone & Karen… who of course have nothing at all to do with any alleged crimes committed by Sonny and/or Corinthos Coffee, LLC.

I really think he might have some bipolar issues going on himself. Wouldn’t it be one HELL of a twist if Sonny was the one who helped him realize this, and told him how to deal with it.

Which of course, is pretty much what he did for Karen back in the day… once they started writing Sonny as a real character, and not the 13 week disposable strip club manager without a last name.

Sonny helped Karen back in the day? All I remember was he took advantage of her; made her strip, got her hooked on pills, and when she wanted to leave kept pushing pills at her which is why Scotty AND Jagger hate him to this day (as well as issues Jagger has with Sonny over Stone).

And, not sure if you’re joking but if you’re not, I don’t think Jagger’s got mental issues. I just think he’s filled with utter resentment & hostility for Sonny, and is driven to take him down. The more he’s thwarted, the more he’s about to pop. Kinda how I feel each time I watch Carly get away with everything she does. Every, single, thing. lol

Michael Fairman, do you have any idea why my post immediately disappears the minute I click Post Comment?

Michael, I can confirm that posts seem to disappear from view almost instantly after they are posted. They do reappear later, so I’m guessing this is something to do with the “moderation” process that all posts go through before becoming a permanent part of the thread, that can be read by all.

I have observed this using both Firefox & Chromium based browsers, and on Windows & Linux machines and Android phones, so it appears to be part of the forum software, and not dependent on the end user’s configuration.

It seems to disappear while it’s pending, then resurfaces when approved. I think that’s a recent change.

On another note, I never get notified when I have a reply. Used to. Did you change that? And, is the edit option ever going to work? Thanks…

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.

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

on

By

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.
