This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, it appears Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is in for a double shock in the newly released video teaser from the ABC soap opera.

First, she sees first-hand, her ex Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) in the flesh. Previously, Nina was on the receiving end of Jack Brennan’s (Chris McKenna) blackmail to get intel on where the fugitive is from his daughter, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke). What will she do now that he realizes he’s in Port Charles?

Then, from the “sounds of it” in the voice-over, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) confesses to her mother, Nina that “Drew didn’t have a stroke.” A stunned Nina gasps, as the unable-to-speak-and-move Drew  (Cameron Mathison) looks on. But how much did Willow truly tell her mother? The whole truth and nothing but the truth? Or, is it all a part of her deceitful plan to keep her children by any means possible?

Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) visits Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) in the hospital and he angrily demands to know who shot him the back, because he knows Jason didn’t pull the trigger. Will Britt go so far to figure it out and learn it was Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, and then be faced with a dilemma of her life vs. his?

Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) also gets some news! Ric (Rick Heart) tells her that Danny (Asher Antonzyzn) wants to be a mobster, which does not sit to well with her, and that’s an understatement.  At the very end of the video preview, Lulu (Alexa Havins) is on the docks with a man’s back to her. She pipes up, “Do I know you?” Betting odds: she will run right into her half-brother Evan Lovett when Nathan Dean makes his highly-anticipated return this Friday.

Check out the official GH spoilers for the week of April 13-17 below.

MONDAY, APRIL 13
Willow stoops to a new low. Ric breaks news to Alexis. Gio impresses Emma. Justine tips off Sonny. Brook Lynn is alarmed.

TUESDAY, APRIL 14
Willow makes a confession. Sonny decides to take a risk. Britt has an awkward encounter. Nina is stunned. Lulu is taken aback.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15
Tracy goes into crisis mode. Josslyn does some digging. Ava impresses Sidwell. Dante has a tip for Laura. Curtis supports Jordan.

THURSDAY, APRIL 16
Carly is shaken. Britt suffers a setback. Josslyn is suspicious. Lucas stands his ground. Sidwell is given food for thought.

FRIDAY, APRIL 17
Ethan Lovett returns! Kristina is caught off-guard. Willow confronts Jacinda. Nina receives an intriguing offer. Laura proposes an alliance.

Now below, watch the latest General Hospital promo, entitled “One Shock After Another.”

Then weigh-in: Do you think if Nina realizes Drew is being drugged to stay in a Locked in Syndrome state, she will help him out and go against her daughter? Share your theories in the comment section.

This soap opera contains far too much violence. I am over the mob aspect of General Hospital. It’s high-time things shifted back to being focused on the core families and the hospital itself.

I have to agree with you Scott. I was fed up with the mob in 2005. That’s why I stopped watching after having watched since day 1. I only came back a couple of years ago. I think they need to focus more on the hospital staff and their lives. Of course, they’ll have to get some staff first. Elizabeth is the only main character nurse. It takes many more than that to run a hospital.

If it were me, I’d be focusing on returning the Hardy and Ward families, both of whom have ties to the hospital and its history, so that alone would be a solid turning point story-wise. Additionally, returning the Hardys would also give Elizabeth some more familial foundation. Plus, with the return of the Wards, that would also tie in to the Quartermaines’. It writes itself, and it is silly that such a storyline has yet to be done.

They seem to be fine with disappearing the Hardys from existence altogether. Liz is still calling herself “Baldwin”, for Hell’s sake. She was barely married to Frodd for a few months, and even calling HIM a Baldwin was a joke which totally went against the actual history of what was shown on screen back in the 80s (Yes, Scotty & Heather were together for a while, but the only kid ever in their orbit was baby Jason, for a brief time after Susan was murdered, but before Alan took him home to the Q mansion. They never had a baby of their own)

As far as we know, Audrey Hardy is still out there somewhere, presumably well into her 90s at this point. But with Liz’s sons all out of town, there’s no longer a need for them to be spending time at offscreen grandma’s house, so Audrey’s name isn’t even brought up in passing anymore. Liz hasn’t even mentioned the Webber part of her family since that odd and thankfully brief Jeff recast from a year or two ago. (with Star Trek’s Tasha Yar as her mother??)

As far as either a Hardy or Ward resurgence, I think they messed the perfect opportunity to do one or the other with the Isaiah character. It would have been easy to make him either the REAL “TJ” (Thomas Hardy Jr) or a member of the Ward family. Instead of giving him a last name which may or may not be tied to characters from some other show, which is the LAST thing GH needs any more of.

Bob Guza must be ghostwriting for the show.

No way. Guza always knew how to write a proper story and not drag it on forever – like this whole Drew/Willow fiasco. Or the Sidwell “Legion of Dumb” thing. Even the awful “Balkan” story – which ended Guza’s run at GH – didn’t go on and on forever.

I should have added note the sarcasm to my comment.

I agree. It’s also not fun to continue watching minors being either being caught in the crossfire or being forced to shoot to kill or injure in order to defend a loved one. Moreover, the war between Sonny and Sidwell is dull, redundant and played out.

You mean you don’t love Sonny vs. villain redux?… but yeah, it’s becoming tired. Very, very tired. I can’t wait for the Metro Court rooftop pool to open and for someone else to get hurt, and zero lawsuits to be filed against Carly, Olivia, and the hotel.

You want someone else to get hurt? Well, isn’t that special.

I think Lulu knows Nathan. I believe she was there when his character was introduced years ago.

He’s her stepbrother

No, her half brother. Luke was father to both.

That’s Ethan and not Nathan.

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

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.
