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.

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.
