THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Tells Carly, ‘I Don’t Owe Jason Nothing’; While Sam and Jason Come Face to Face
General Hospital previews for the week of March 25-29 pits friends and family against each other over the recent return of Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), and how he is implicated as the shooter that put Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) in the hospital still in dire straits.
Last week, with the walls closing in on Jason, he turned himself in to the PCPD while lawyering up with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy). Meanwhile, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), Michael (Chad Duell), Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), and Carly (Laura Wright) all could be culpable for aiding and abetting a suspect in the shooting of a cop, and for hiding Jason.
In the latest promo for the ABC soap opera, we get a glimpse of Sam (Kelly Monaco) finally seeing Jason for the same time since his recent return, and asking him at the PCPD if he indeed shot Dante.

When everyone gathers at Jason’s arraignment, Carly is seen yelling at Sonny, “You owe Jason!” However, in a key moment, Sonny responds, “I don’t owe Jason nothing!” Will we finally see Sonny bring up the fact of how Jason and Carly were married when they believed he had ‘died’? Does Sonny truly believe Jason shot his son, Dante? Stay tuned.

Now, weigh-in. Should Sonny forgive Jason for whatever feelings he has about his former hit man? Are you looking forward to the scenes between Jason and Sam? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
A third week in a row with a Jason-centric promo? Blagh. Spare me. Please. This is not the Jason Morgan Show and this is NOT what General Hospital is. Bring us hospital-centric storylines, please! Enough with the mob and the violence. It isn’t cute nor entertaining. Elizabeth Korte & Patrick Mulcahey have other stories they could be focusing on; shame this got slammed into their laps.
I don’t like the character of Jason Morgan, but I have been pleasantly surprised how balanced the show has been since his return. Other characters and stories are getting plenty of screen time. And though I wish General Hospital didn’t keep the mob front and center, I have to reluctantly say that unfortunately for the past decades that IS, in fact, what General Hospital is. Let’s hope change is coming…
Sonny and his crew have been a huge part of GH for 30 yrs. and I can’t figure how long it’s taken a lot of people to get sick of the mob scene. Personally, I love it and him , I’ll watch Greys Anatomy to see the medical stuff. I also watch just about every “Cop” show on nighttime TV. Glutton for punishment as they say, huh?
Don’t know how long you’ve been watching but ever since Sonny and his family and ” friends” have been in PC, it has revolved around them. I’d advise you to watch Chicago Med.or Greys Anatomy maybe , if you want” hospital-centric stories”
Not a fan of Carly and Jason as a couple. Not a fan of Sam and Jason as a couple. I loved him with Brit but she is dead…. Maybe someone new please!!!!!
Jason is the best. His long silent stares bring so much to every scene he is in.
Praying they implode and they will
Today’s episode was good. Jason didn’t know John Cates is Stone’s brother, Jagger (maybe because he looks very different). Of course he doesn’t remember his past before the accident so no he would’ve remembered Jagger. Jason told Anna that he’s been working with Jagger for over two years to infiltrate Pikeman. He gave her a lot of info. But we still don’t know who is Pikeman? Did Pikeman kill Austin?
Original Jagger left town several years before drunken AJ scrambled Jason’s brain, so it’s plausible that Jason wouldn’t recognize him . But the name “Cates” should have raised a red flag for him. He’s certainly heard about Stone from Sonny & Robin over the years, even if he can’t remember that they all went to high school together..I thought that Jagger & Jason were both on the second season of “Night Shift”, but maybe they never ran into each other, despite both of them having scenes with Robin. Fuzzy Devil Memory is forgetting the details there.
Seems that NuJagger is driven by nothing more than a 30 year old misplaced grudge against Sonny and is hiding behind a badge to get away with his cartoonish revenge plot, and thought he would turn Sonny’s best friend against him as part of that plot. Which makes him an even worse cartoon villain than Whiny Heiny Fasion or Teddy Balkan.
As for Pikeman… I’m sticking to my theory that Lorenzo Alcazar is behind that whole thing. Their entire “business plan” of weapons trafficking via black ops with rogue intelligence operatives is exactly the thing that the Alcazar brothers used to do… or at least TRIED to do in Port Charles. Sonny always stopped them before. But that was before the Tricky Dick Nixon Falls episode melted down half of his brain.
And I still say that the “leverage” this Cabal has over Jason has something to do with Morgan Corinthos, who survived the Jerome Family Project car bomb a few years back, but may have had his brain wiped (just like Jason did in 1996) and was “reformatted” into an accomplice of Alcazar & Pikeman for the last several years. Jason told Michael that he “couldn’t live” with the consequences of what would happen if he didn’t comply with the cabal’s orders, so obviously they’re hanging something over his head far more serious than a bunch of dragonshit criminal charges that Diane could easily get him out of, with one hand tied behind her back.
At least you’re consistent.
Do you just cut & paste this stuff retype it every time?
I’m just not seeing any other theory that makes sense for “Pikeman” that doesn’t involve Alcazar running it, nor any “leverage” they could have over Jason that doesn’t involve him protecting somebody who is believed to be “dead”, and Morgan would be the obvious choice there.
It doesn’t make sense that Jason would agree to work for the FBI, just to get out of federal charges, because he has the best lawyer in Port Charles on permanent retainer. Diane hasn’t failed him yet.
I’m not sure who’s behind it, but still can’t see them bringing Morgan back (unless they kill off Dante -which they shouldn’t).
There’s speculation online that Ava is Pikeman. Can’t see her behind the Puerto Rico shooting since Avery was in the near vicinity.
If structured right, Valentin could be feasible, but that would undo the character growth he’s had over the past few years.
Selina would a cop out, but it could change the intended target from the MC pool shooting to actually be Curtis.
Regardless, the pace since the new writers took over has definitely pepped up.
Kind of surprised that Jason confided all this stuff to Anna instead of Diane whose job is to help him out of this crap.Sonny disappoints me in not trusting and having more faith in Jason and Ava is only instigating his bad feelings toward his friend, what are her motives anyway , she is really bugging me and she better watch out for Nina who will tear her a new one if she finds out she’s after Sonny. she may feel she’d rather run an Art Gallery than a magazine.
Ava seems to be regressing back to her 2013 self and that’s n
Ugh… the board seems to have eaten my previous reply and would not let me edit it.
Anyway… as I was saying… Ava seems to be regressing back to her 2013 self and that’s not a good thing. She seemed to have made some progress since she had her face reconstructed, and survived Ryan’s reign of terror (though Kiki wasn’t so lucky).
Recently though, she seems to be encouraging Sonny to turn against both Jason and Michael, and it’s hard to interpret any good motivation for doing that. It’s starting to look like Ava misses the old “family business” and is plotting a takeover of Corinthos Coffee, LLC for herself.
Well, I knew it was too good to be true. The ” cat and it’s colors, etc” looks like she’s reverting back to her old self. She even made telling Sonny about his son waking up, like it was her calling GH , and not telling him about his phone call.
What are your thoughts on Valentine? Not that I would say I was shocked , I wouldn’t put anything past him, but I was surprised in the moment. Since Anna, he’s been laying low, should have known he was up to no good, and I also thought that guard would shoot Brennan when he took him out of the transport truck.
Valentin also seems to be regressing back into his former character… the guy I called “Val the Bastard”, and not just because he didn’t know who his father was at the time.
I do think it’s a sloppy rewrite if we’re supposed to believe he’s running Pikeman now, and did Anna somehow not know that Val is the one who dragged Sonny into business with Pikeman in the first place. Not even going to ask if NuJagger knew about that, because I doubt he would care, as long as it made Sonny look bad.
I don’t know how Val would be messing with Sonny’s meds, unless he had an accomplice inside. And though Val is close with Nina, she got booted out of Sonny’s life a couple weeks back, so it would probably have to be Ava. Not sure why she would want to work with Val, but we do know she doesn’t have a problem with playing with medication.
The way Valentin talked about Sonny’s meds, I had the impression that they would be “adjusted” at the Pharmacutical point of origin, before Sonny gets them, which is probably worse than Ava messing with them no?
I will enjoy this new dynamic with Jason and Sonny as whatever seems to be pending their friendship must be huge!
Glad that this aspect of Jason’s return is interesting as it will definitely make or break their friendship.
Yes, Sonny has been very disappointing. The old Sonny would give Jason the benefit of the doubt and having more faith in his loyalty. He always said they were “brothers” now all of a sudden, he’s talking about he and Carly when he was in Nixon Falls.
The way Sonny’s been acting towards Jason and Carly, I’d think someone’s already messing with his meds. I say this kiddingly but seriously this isn’t like him and hopefully it’s not Ava up to her old tricks as she did with Morgan. We should hardly notice when Valentine’s plan to sabatoge Sonnys meds, comes to fruition.

Adam Huss Makes Another Return to General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine
Nikolas Cassadine will be back on your screens next week but now via Pentonville. That means, that actor Adam Huss is back for a visit for all-new episodes of General Hospital.
In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.
Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support. I don’t take it for granted for a second! (Even when I can’t answer 😊) #generalhospital”

Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.
So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other
The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.
Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).
When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.
Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.
What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

REPORT: Nicholas Chavez Not Returning to General Hospital
For those who were holding out hope that Daytime Emmy winner and fan favorite, Nicholas Chavez would be returning to General Hospital after filming his leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters anthology, it looks like those hopes have been dashed.
According to a report from TV Line, although unconfirmed from General Hospital or a representative for Chavez, the actor will not reprise his role as Spencer Cassadine on the long-running ABC soap opera and continue the love story of Sprina opposite Tabyana Ali (Trina, GH).
Chavez was cast as Lyle Menendez over the the summer of 2023 for the second season of Murphy’s limited Monsters series on Netflix. In the upcoming season, the series will focus on the the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the two well-to-do Beverly Hills brothers accused of murdering their parents in 1989.

After word from Chavez casting was revealed, GH fans were concerned over the fate of the Sprina story, a spokesperson for GH shared, “We support Nicholas’ endeavors and look forward to having him return to General Hospital once this project is wrapped.”
In story, the series “killed off” Spencer when he went overboard with Esme to the steely waters below after being injected with a drug, thanks to Esme and falling into the Seine River in France. However, his body was never recovered, and believed to have drowned or washed away. Thus, leaving an opening for Spencer to return in the form of Chavez or be recast down the line.

TV Line shared that ‘multiple sources’ are confirming that Chavez is not returning to the ABC soap opera, which is what many had suspected might be the case once he left for this major starring role in a Ryan Murphy project. Chavez has been relatively quiet on social media for months.

The Michael Fairman Channel spoke with Nicholas Chavez for a virtual interview when he first joined the show in 2021, and spoke to him right after when he won the Daytime Emmy in 2022 – you can see those below.
No word yet on when Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story will debut on Netflix, but it is assumed later this year.
So, what do you think about the news of Nicholas Chavez not returning to his role as Spencer Cassadine on General Hospital? Comment below.
