GENERAL HOSPITAL Promo: A Fire Changes Everything for the Corinthos Family, Cyrus Continues to be a Threat
As previewed, in the just released ABC promo for the action this week on General Hospital, it is quite explosive, literally! As had been teased, Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) penthouse will become a blaze.
We hear the voice-over of Michael (Chad Duell) saying he “filed for divorce,” in what looks to be a discussion with his father, Sonny. Next, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) looks absolutely shocked. Is it about the divorce filing or something else?
At GH, Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) tells chief of staff, Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), “There is someone in this hospital who is killing people.” We know that digitalis had been injected in the IV’s of Sam McCall and Dex Heller. Cut to an evil and glaring Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) leaving the hospital in an elevator as he stares down Portia. Does she suspect Cyrus is the culprit? Is he targeting her as his next victim?

Later, an emotional Carly (Laura Wright) looks beside herself as she may be reeling from news at the hospital. Does she learn that her son Michael is the one who was engulfed in flames signaling the end of Chad Duell’s run? Stay tuned.
Check out the video promo for the drama the week of January 6th-10th in Port Charles below.
Now weigh in, what do you think will happen with the fire and Michael? Is Cyrus responsible? Who will be his next victim? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
Buh-bye Michael Corinthos, and buh-bye whoever else is killing Cyrus is planning to kill.
I thought when Sonny was having the trouble with his heart when he was at the gym was because Cyrus had somehow gotten Digitalis into him.
Normally, I’m not in favor of them destroying sets for storyline purposes (still miss Mac’s house, Anna’s townhome and the Floating Rib). However, Sonny’s penthouse set is really not attractive and can definitely use an upgrade. Maybe they’ll have him move into an updated version of Sam’s now abandoned unit.
This turn of events could be great leverage for Ava to get custody of Avery long term.
Sonny can buy another house; Ava can’t even afford to pay attention.
He’ll probably move in with Carly or that other bimbo he’s been hanging with. At least with Carly they will have the loss of Michael in common, even if he is sent away to a special facility for treatment.
I’m no fan of Ava but poor Avery, didn’t see ĥer mother anyway, but at least she had Sonny , Carly and her family.
Sonny could just move across the hall to Jason’s penthouse. It’s been vacant since Sam died. And both Jason & Dante have been living at the Q mansion.
Though moving back into his old house with Carly is very likely, since Sonny’s first concerns when it comes to security breaches are usually his kids.
Yep
I was proud of Michael today for finally verbalizing what we all realized about Willow a long time ago. He’s finally realizing how screwed up she is and that she’s not the angel he thought she was. Michael recognizing her pattern of behavior was the best part of the show, especially starting with why she fell for Chase. It just emphasized the fact that Chase dodged a bullet when Willow left him. He’s better off without her. They both are. I’ll take Michael and Chase’s friendship over either of them dating Willow any day. I’m so glad they were able to get past Michael’s affair with Willow. She’s not worth losing that friendship over forever. Michael definitely should’ve listened to Diane about taking an aggressive first strike against Willow.
Willow’s always been boring, and this cheating storyline hasn’t changed that. lol She’s insufferable with her “woe is me, I’m such a victim” act. I’ve never liked her, especially since she cheated on Chase. Chase/Willow were just as boring as Michael/Willow, though. I didn’t love them or hate them, because they were just kind of there. They were inoffensive, so I didn’t have a strong reaction to them one way or the other. It wasn’t some great love story with amazing chemistry. They were fine when they were onscreen, but I didn’t miss them when they weren’t. The only reason Chase/Willow were only slightly less boring than Michael/Willow is because Josh Swickard has a knack for generating chemistry with his love interests: Nelle, Willow, Brook Lynn.
The common denominator here is Willow. She brought Chase and Michael’s characters down, and made both relationships boring. Chad Duell had great chemistry with Sofia Mattsson, so it didn’t really make sense to break up Michael and Sasha. They should’ve just found someone else for Willow, because she wasn’t great with Chase or Michael. And, she’s treated them both like crap now. She really should just avoid marriage, since she falls in love too quickly and easily with men who are not her husband.
I couldn’t help laughing at Willow’s shock that Michael filed for divorce, and wants primary custody while giving her supervised visits. What did she think was going to happen after everything she’s done in the aftermath of her affair being revealed? She tried to take the kids without telling him, limited Michael’s contact with his children on Christmas, spent Christmas with Drew, and then took Wiley to D.C. with her and Drew without telling Michael. LOL Now, she’s worried about the sex tape ruining Drew’s career?
While Martin’s right about how courts normally don’t like to take kids from their mother, this is different. I loved his reaction to finding out that she was in D.C. (the wince), especially when he started ranting to Laura about his client making stupid decisions and making his job harder. LOL So true. Willow’s such an idiot. Drew making Michael out to be the bad guy is despicable, and his “I love you”s are over the top and creepy at this point. Can we stop that? I don’t want to hear it.
This is a soap opera people.
Um. This is the soap opera comment section, Mary. Folks do not need to be reminded that it is a soap opera. These type of statements are not only unnecessary, they’re obnoxious.
Yes. And? It should still make sense. Willow’s obsession with Drew that led to her kissing him behind Michael’s back for months came out of nowhere. That wasn’t built up well. Willow sleeping with Drew wasn’t surprising after she’d already been carrying on an emotional affair with him for months and had cheated on her previous husband with Michael. It’s the fact that her infatuation with Drew which led up to it wasn’t written well to sell this so-called love story.
Plus, she’s continuing to play the victim instead of accepting responsibility. Willow and Drew are acting like the victims here when they’re not.
At least when Liz cheated on Lucky with Nikolas, Elizabeth and Nikolas owned up to it. Elizabeth accepted Lucky’s hurt and anger. She acknowledged that there was no excuse for what she did, and Nikolas was genuinely remorseful that he’d betrayed his brother in the worst way possible. Liz also had the decency to admit to Nikolas that she’d blown up her boys’ lives, question what the hell was wrong with her and throw him out, telling him she didn’t want to be around him at that point. When she was finally alone, she legitimately broke down in tears over losing Lucky. She also never tried to run off with the kids without telling him, take the boys from him or leave town with the kids without telling him, let alone with the man she cheated on him with. Liz didn’t try to make Nikolas her sons’ new daddy.
Willow has done/shown none of that. She has no remorse, no regrets and no regard for Michael’s feelings whatsoever. She’s basically trying to replace him with Drew as her kids’ father. If this storyline was written better, it might actually be interesting – soapy in a good way. It’s not, though. She’s whining and complaining about Michael, acting like she’s the victim and like she had no idea he was capable of being vindictive. lol Willow didn’t have any problem with Michael being vindictive when it benefited her. Now, all of a sudden, she’s horrified and doesn’t know him at all? lol Drew acting like a victim is even worse, especially since he cared more about sleeping with Willow than comforting his daughter the night Sam died.
So sad! Why would they take michael out that way? Worst episode ever
So dishisting- have watched that show for many,many years and am done now
If you mean b take him out, kill him, they didn’t. He’s not being killed off.
He’ll definitely be back, maybe with a different face. The fire reminds me of Lucky’s “death” in 1999. When he does return, I hope he goes scorched earth on Willow and Drew before/while reuniting with Sasha.
I agree 100 % with you.
Why Portia is allowing Cy to creep around the hospital is beyond me!
It’s frustrating the writers haven’t allowed the other cast members to figure out Cyrus is the one killing the patients. Especially since he had so much free reign in the hospital all of this time. I’ll be so glad when and if that character is gone for good. He’s just too creepy. I understand shows need villains, but he’s also like a predator and he’s difficult to watch.
Did not see GH on TV today, watched it on Utube. Portia better watch her back , after she threw Cyrus out of GH, she’ll be his next victim.
Wonder how much trouble the new owner of Windemere will cause Lucy and her big nose?
Cyrus and the dirty, evil stare he gave Portia. …with his fake born-again self. Please let someone bring him to justice soon. He’s been there too long. He’s like a disturbing cult leader and GH has already had one of those.
Sad he’s leaving and someone please kill Cyrus off
So it looks like the writers are reading what a Devil posts here. A few months back I thought that Lorenzo Alcazar would buy Windermere because what makes a better home for an international fugitive paranoid about his own security than a literal castle with it’s own island?
So for what ever reason Alcazar hasn’t shown up but now we have Sidwell buying Windermere for the very same reasons.
Now here’s the question.. he sure seemed to enjoy the view of the Port Charles skyline from across the water. Was he expecting to see a “fireworks show”. Coming from Sonny’s penthouse, maybe?
Not sure why exactly Sidwell would have a beef with Sonny though. While Sonny did discuss “fencing” Sidwell’s diamonds with Holly, the deal never took place and Sidwell got his poached diamonds back (after kidnapping Sasha of course).
On the other horn Jason has ruined Sidwell’s plans twice now so he might have a grudge against Jason. Did he bomb the wrong penthouse by mistake??
I missed yesterday Jan 6 programming. Where can I watch it. Thanks
Go to abc.com. GH will appear in the list of programs. If you put in your tv provider, you’ll gain access to Monday’s episode.
I thought the fire scene was very well done. Soapy, dramatic, unexpected (unless you read spoilers). We know they’re not killing Michael off, so “Michael” will be off canvas in a burn unit (possible coma). Chad Duell said they left the door open for his return if he chooses to come back. If they’re doing that, then I assume his body will be burned but his face will remain intact. If they decide to recast, they’ll go with his face burned so badly he needed plastic surgery, route….
Michael will go away for rehabilitation leaving it open whether the actor wants to return to the roller. Maybe I’ll come back looking like Morgan..
It was hard to watch Michael engulfed in flames. Whether he lives or dies, Willow will have the freedom to be with her lover. No pity for her when she finds out about Nina and Drew. Too bad she can’t be loyal and she never deserved Michael who forgave her for not telling him about her leukemia. He would even be willing to work on their marriage after she cheated on him. When the truth about Nina and Drew comes out, she’ll whine and feel hurt because she thinks Drew owes her loyalty. Willow turned into an annoying character and could have been a good one considering all of the challenges she faced and survived.
Yeah it will be interesting to see how she handles the truth about Nina and Drew. Will she run to another man to save her again? Will she finally notice her patterns and address them? Carly will never stay out of her business now, that’s for sure. She’ll have to toughen up.
I will miss Michael so sad they took him out that way fire so sad
No no no no no no no !!!!!!! Stop this madness!!!!!
I think Sidwell is responsible for the fire at Sonnys. Michael will be badly burned.

Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
