General Hospital Preview: Will Eddie Maine Fall For, or Befriend, Nina?

This week on General Hospital, upcoming previews and more indicate that Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) secret of turning Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) over to the SEC, may still wind up under wraps, if she and luck have anything to do with it.

In the latest ABC promo for the daytime drama series, as Ned (who currently believes he is rock star and his alter-ego, Eddie Maine) comes upon Nina, she is very concerned.  Meanwhile, the voice-over announce shares, “A man who doesn’t know who he is!”

Now in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Wally Kurth (Ned/Eddie Maine) chats on that Maine gets an offer from none other than Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to stay with him when Eddie does not want to go back and live with Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) at the Quartermaines.  However, when Sonny gets called away, Nina tries to convince Eddie that staying with Sonny is not a good idea.

Kurth shared: “When he says ‘I have no reason to stay here,’  she’s (Nina) the one saying, ‘That’s not a bad idea.’ She seems to be much more understanding of Ned’s dilemma in a way that other people aren’t and he appreciates that. He actually really likes her and trusts her, because she’s not challenging him to remember things, he doesn’t or telling him he needs to be someone he’s not.”

Oh-oh! Is Eddie going to fall for Nina? That would certainly complicated things for everyone, or could it be that Ned is faking being the rock star to get the goods on her?

Elsewhere in the promo, a devastated Ava (Maura West) learns her daughter Avery is missing while Mason is back putting the screws on Austin (Roger Howarth) or is he?

Watch the GH Preview below.  Then, let us know, do you think Nina is going to have to play up being ‘in to” Eddie Maine, to keep him off the track of what she really did to Carly and Drew? Is Ned faking his amnesia? Could all of this be the final straw that has Sonny kick Nina to the curb? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

So Nina preys on some guy with amnesia, and feeds his delusions to serve her own purposes, despite the suffering of his entire family.

Uh…. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this already. And it’s definitely NOT a story worth repeating…especially since the first version never really ended.

Do the writers hate Nina? Make it stop. Let Eddie fall for Lois, who is rumored to return.

Nina certainly seems to have a “type” -married and amnesiac lol!

Nina, still doing what she does best, sneaking around, nosing in everyone’s business and things she knows nothing about like Eddie/Ned except trying to get him out of town before his memory returns and he blows the whistle on her.

Just an add-on here about the question of wether Eddie will fall for Nina. Was just thinking that if he does, he’ll unfall for her pretty damn quick when Ned returns and realizes all the trouble she’s caused him.

Agreed, Violet—I love Nina, but, I repeat, she should come out with it. She committed no crime, but she’s digging a deeper hole which will make her look like the bad guy. I understand she’s not one of the favorites but her “crimes” pale in compact to Carly’s—-She and fake Drew actually committed a crime. Nina is just a snitch. She should unburden herself from all this imbroglio.

Where is the actress who plays Monica, she has been away at least a year?

matt mathews,
I’d hazard a guess by saying she probably is unwell or just unable to portray Monica any longer but the show is just not ready to cut the ties permanently. They’ve already lost some of their cast and haven’t even addressed Bobbie’s death yet. I just hope they don’t try to replace Monica, she was a too important part of GH.

I’ll second Violet’s presumption about Leslie Charleson (Monica). She did make an audio appearance on the Epiphany tribute episode. If the writers were clever (and Leslie willing) they’d have other opportunities for Monica to call into a scene.

In the late 80s, long time viewers will recall a multiple years long stint when David Lewis (Edward #1) didn’t appear on camera – only as a voice Lila heard. It was a clever way for them to keep Edward a part of the canvas until Lewis came back on camera for a few years before John Ingle assumed the role.

At this point, the show’s not going to permanently recast a 45-year veteran.

Due to the writers’ strike and now Genie Francis’ annual summer sabbatical, we probably won’t see Bobbie’s passing written in until much later in the fall.

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.

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.
