General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Who Crashes the Nurses’ Ball?
It’s that time when Port Charles gives us musical performances, Lucy’s (Lynn Herring) array of dresses, backstage panics, and major story points coming to a head, and of course, a top secret arrival. It all begins with the red carpet arrivals at the 2025 General Hospital Nurses’ Ball on Tuesday, May 20th, co-hosted by former lovers, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Congressman Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).
However, in the just released ABC promo for the action on all-new episodes of GH, the voice-over announce sets the stage with, “You’ll never believe who crashes the ball!” In what could be a red-herring, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) takes to the Nurses’ Ball stage, but while we know he will be performing, it looks like he has something to say! Does he already know he is Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) son? Why does Lois (Rena Sofer) look so unsettled? Why does Ned (Wally Kurth) look stunned?
Meanwhile, Drew and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) are in the audience with surprise looks on their faces, and Sonny (Maurice Benard) looks pissed. Fans have been of the mind on social media that Michael will be coming home and show up at the ball. Could that be the surprise guest, or did Sidwell (Carlo Rota) make some kind of dangerous move on Sonny, and reveal his true intentions for being in Port Charles?

Now weigh-in: Who is going to crash the proceedings? Share your theories via the comment section.
Hoping for Blaze to return and a possible Leisl performance. We shall see. Very much looking forward to this week in Port Charles:)
Spencer comes back to life
That’s actually a good guess. Especially if Mikey was going to comeback as a “surprise” for his June 2 court date.
On the other horn, would Spencer really show up right before Grandma Laura leaves town on her usual 3 – 4 month summer vacation??
A recast Spencer will eventually make his way to PC, but it’s highly unlikely they would recast 2 key characters just days apart. Also, Trina & Kai would have to had moved their relationship along to build up the drama of Spencer’s return.
I have a feeling the surprise guest is going to be a Blazing snooze fest.
My original projection was a surprise performance from Liesl, but not sure it’s going that way, since she hasn’t been mentioned in a while. Nu-Michael might show up before the hearing. Is Jason’s call from “the real Drew”?
I was wondering if the surprise guest could be someone from Camilla’s old group which would worry Lois, but not sure anyone else would know who the person was.
I gave up GH since the beginning of the year. I saw the upcoming preview and they had Carly and Nina physically fighting. Two grown, professional women behaving like sceen from Dynasty, between Krystal and Alexis. This is supposed to be entertainment? Willow is an idiot and once the truth about Drew is revealed, she will probably find a reason to blame Nina. Nina needs to stop enabling her daughter be real with her. Either way, she will turn away from her anyway.
I agree with all of what you say. I hate seeing two fifty year old women physically fighting like two middle school girls. And yes, Willow is not worth it.
My face is almost completely blue from holding my breathe that it is Miguel Morez
If Ricky Martin were going to appear, the show wouldn’t keep it a surprise. They’d want to grab as much advance publicity as possible.
Well… I can’t disagree with that.
Nailed it.
Oh my.. I seem to have a fan… you have commented on all my comments! thanks Mike !
I prefer Michael, but you’re welcome!
Well..obtaining the license to preform Madonna’s Holiday is a pretty big deal itself!
Carly is the worst kind of hypocrite, Who in their right frame of mind gets to decide who does or doesn’t deserve to be a mother, these storylines are that terrible.
I would love to see Leisl return with the goods on Drew whom she takes down. But I doubt that will happen. Why would Blaze’s return stir up anything? I mean, Kristina does need a love interest, but she needs to work on herself first. Michael’s return would be a bit premature to shock Weeper and Drewfus. Maybe it’s one of Sonny’s enemies that Jenz brought back….What if Cyrus isn’t really dead? Or how about a Zacchara (spelling?)? Or what about a character people loved returned; someone like Dr. Monroe or Morgan or Franko or Britt? I don’t need the “return” to be a big bomb, just something that will propel story. Nothing lame.
Based on Tuesday’s episode, it certainly feels like Michael (the hand on the private plane). As his face was not burnt after the explosion, there won’t be a mystery about who he is (even with a recast).
I have watched GH since about 1970. I have never missed a Nurse’s Ball. This year I have to admit I think it was the best ever. I thought Geo’s performance was Amazing and the reveal to his parents was so sad for him. LULU can never keep her mouth shut. Hope Dante sees how manipulative she has been and does not take her back. As for Willow I can’t wait for the truth to come out about the real Drew and his actions she doesn’t know about her mother and Micheal. Kristina needs help but don’t want her to get harmed in anyway. Hopefully Micheal and Sasha get back together. Alot to look forward to. Keep it up GH!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

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.
