While it is a shortened week of episodes, three originals, one encore, and one full preemption, the action on ABC’s General Hospital from December 23-27th looks to bring the drama and some holiday reunions.

Coming up, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) seemingly will defend her actions, but which actions? Having sex with Drew (Cameron Mathison), taking Michael’s (Chad Duell) children and bringing them to Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) or does she just mean serving Michael with legal separation papers?

In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Katelyn MacMullen weighed-in on what she thinks her GH alter-ego wants things to go from here. “I think that right now, she would literally say, ‘I don’t know what I want, and that’s what’s driving me crazy.’ I know that she doesn’t want her family to get hurt or caught in the crossfire of her decision-making. She doesn’t want to hurt Michael. She doesn’t want to ruin her family, essentially. She doesn’t want to want Drew the way she does. I think Willow is so unclear about what she wants; it’s all about knowing what she doesn’t want and then sort of acting against her better instincts about it. I think it’s all very confusing to her.”

Elsewhere, Carly (Laura Wright) made a bold move by inviting Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure) to Christmas with the Corinthos family, where he meets Sonny (Maurice Benard). Look for these two to clash; certainly over Carly, and certainly over which sides of the law they are seemingly on. Meanwhile, Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) are getting closer and they take a stroll down memory lane. Will the Christmas mistletoe bring a kiss between the exes? Stay tuned.

Check out the official GH spoilers for the week below:

Right now, Willow is on my you know what list. Am so disappointed in her character. I just loved how she stood up to Nina years ago when she had that brat Charlotte in her class. Then to find out Nina was her mother and the psyco Nelle her half sister, that would make anyone nuts, but this crap with Drew is just disgusting and thoroughly unacceptable. Wonder if she feels as Cameron does in real life, about it becoming a really romantic union?

I don’t believe they took Willow with her superior morals & let her have sex with Drew & I was disappointed at how easily Michael had sex with Sasha. smh!! & I can’t believe Nina selfishness allowed it all to unfold

So Nina is responsible for Michael and Willow cheating on each other? What utter rubbish!

Harry, I despise Nina, but you are right, she had nothing to do with Willow and Drew hitting the sheets. She was as shocked as everyone else.Michael and Sasha just shared the same bed as they shared each other’s misery.

Seems like Nina haters can’t let go. I can’t believe anyone likes Willow after how she treated Nina upon learning she was her mother. There was not ONE rational reason for Willow’s hatred of Nina; it was so beyond ridiculous She loved Carly, who lied, stole her DNA, was never going to tell Nina and Willow they were mother and daughter; she forgave Harmony who lied to her her entire life, dragged her to a commune, drugged her so Shiloh could rape her, but Nina? Her actual mother who lost over 20 years of her life to a coma, who she was taken from at birth, she’s who Willow decided to “hate.” I see red even typing it out and reliving the maliciousness of that story. And even now, Nina “thanks” her for inviting her places. It’s cringe-worthy. One would have hoped the writing would have been better; Nina shouldn’t be running around trying to get her daughter to love her. And, yeah, these people blaming Nina for Willow’s decisions. Willow’s about thirty; she judged Nina for being with Sonny, then turns around and lies to Michael’s face for over a year, crushes on Drew, runs to him when she thinks he’s in need, has sex with him, and is idiotic enough to invite him to Christmas at Nina’s the day after the whole family finds out she and Drew slept together, and yet Nina haters are blaming NIna. LOL; I can’t…

I agree..Nina is not to be blamed for this but she should tell her daughter before she finds out.

I’m completely fed up with this same love triangle for like 30 years.Even the next generation played the same stupid game

Willow needs to step back and get a psychologist to help her understand why she’s making these decisions. Why is she so infatuated with men who “save the day”. What does Willow really want? Drew who will move on to the next woman tomorrow, Michael who does love her or stand up on her own to figure out what her needs are. As for Drew he has become creepy and he is not Luke/Laura material, his ego is too big.

Exactly. Drew is the new Shiloh.

I think Willow wants a daddy and Drew fits the bill in many ways, also saving her from the big,bad wolf, which seems to be himself,but she doesn’t see it yet.

Willow and Drew is not the couple that CM think they are and hopefully #GH will find away to not allow it to go any further. The show always manages to find doom and gloom during a holiday and destroying a family and propping another. All of a sudden a Mom can have papers served to hee daughters husband unrealistic.

Lots of things wrong with this storyline and CM boasting about it really shows how much they are trying to prop it. Just not a good story too many holes in it..

Love certainly is not.

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!

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.
