GENERAL HOSPITAL PROMO: Someone is About To Come Face To Face With Their Past!

October 9, 2017

Courtesy/ABC

In this week’s promo for ABC’s General Hospital, you watch and hear “Patient Six” (Steve Burton) say, “Please help me get home to my family.”

And as viewers saw on last Friday’s Cliffhanger, the guy seems to have lost five years of his life, not realizing it was the year 2017!

In this teaser for the upcoming action, it appears that if Burton is the true Jason, when Billy Miller (Jason) and Kelly Monaco (Sam) take a trip, will it hold more than they bargained for?

Meanwhile, what will happen when the key people in “Patient Six’s” life realize he is alive ? Who will they believe is the real Jason? Those people include: Carly (Laura Wright), Sam (Kelly Monaco), Sonny (Maurice Benard), Monica (Leslie Charleson), Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst).

Watch the promo after the jump, and then weigh-in how you think the next beat of the story will go down, and who do you think will actually be the first person from “Patient Six'” loved ones an friends to see him first? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drew may be a clone of the real Jason, and or vice versa.
I think when the two Jasons face each other, there may be an explosion of a different kind. Each of their memories will blend into one another’s.

Guest

Timmm

Sam and Drew are going out of town and Jason is coming into town?

It looks like Jason is opening up the door to Alex’s house?

GH traditionally heats up a week BEFORE sweeps and then lulls us to sleep!

Lets hope this turns out much better than FLUKE!

Guest

Jacob

don’t say “Fluke” three times, it will unleash more horror!

Guest

Timmm

Thats funny!

Guest

JONNYSBRO

We are truly blessed by our brilliant head writer Shelly Altman. She is such a gem for GH.

Guest

K/kay

The door Jason is coming thru looks like Sonny’s patio door. I guarantee his first scene will be with MB his true love!!

Guest

Jimh

i can see them running into each other’s arms in slow motion…lol

Guest

Shay

I fear you are correct, k/kay!….This is the seminal moment they (but not we….) have been waiting for since the day “Stonecold” was unceremoniously dumped from Pier 52…Sonny and Jason together again…at long last!!!!! (Please pass the sick bag….)

Guest

K/kay

@Shay. I hear Burton & Jackson’s restaurant is closed supposedly moving to a different location?

Guest

Celia

Now, we’re talkin’ , Kay. You got that right.

Guest

Shay

How about to Port Charles, k/kay? The town could use a new eatery, not to mention, Lucky’s return! Oh, yeah!

Guest

Jimh

Well, i doubt it will be Monica…

Guest

Shay

You are probably correct, jimh, but I wish it would be Monica! After all the heartache she has suffered by the loss of her “boys,” it would be a beautiful moment were she to be the first to discover that Jason has returned home to Port Charles and that she actually has twin stepsons to keep the Q dynasty alive!

Guest

Timmm

She will probably find out OFF camera! This show doesnt know how to pull ANY heartstrings!

Guest

Jimh

Would be nice but not with the current writing team…probably will be Sonny..Jason’s one and only love…however, it would be a nice surprise if i am wrong and it is Monica???

Guest

su0000

So far the two Jasons has been a sleeper.. Steve was brought back in a whimper. He should have brought in with a BANG! The story should have been high power from day one not as weak as it is. it seems most are worn out waiting for something intense and intriguing to happen. The huge build-up and what was delivered was a fail- snoor.. It was dragged out way too long and now many just don’t care who is whom; the thrill is gone. just worn out. If this same story had been written under Guza we’d be on… Read more »

IF….. I F – if

GH has any smart left

they will let this be Leslie Charleson MOMENT in the spotlight… her marquee

Monica Quartermaine damned heart – break – spills

tears at her heart

with all the other quartermaine “gone” why shouldn’t GH capitalize on this and

go the mother / son route

doing this… WITHOUT sonny / carly / sam and even Liz knowing whats going on

hash this out

ALL OUT

enter Liz , as she goes and sees Monica at her manse

Guest

Satan

Looks like he’s walking in the patio door of Sonny’s house when he calls out “anybody home”. That probably means that either Sonny or Carly will be the first to see him. Michael might possibly be there. I doubt they will leave the first Port Charles sighting to a secondary character like Max or Milo.

I don’t follow Twitter, but apparently Steve has already mentioned working with Laura Wright again, so that would be a point in Carly’s favor.

Guest

Patrick

THE – thing, that bothers me…. if Monica gets … her son back.. plus a twin… plus an older son, in Franco . WITH Ned@the manse.

won’t this be too much…. testosterone ? for me ? I don’t have enough endorphin

I NEED Skye Quartermaine to help me

GH – balance the Q. and hire Robin Christopher. let’s make this cat on a hot tin roof

that way… you can fire all the Corinthos clan and let’s watch them rot

whilst the cast as it were can find life

Guest

GH blows all the others away !

I wouldn’t go that far. I find GH boring as all heck.

Guest

I recommend anyone who had trouble falling asleep put on the other 3 soaps, Zzzzzzzzzzz

Guest

Michael T

I don’t think he’s going to be revealed as Jason yet. That would be too easy

Guest

luvmymrman

It looks like the door 2 Sonny’s house, I think it will b Carly he sees first, this is a great story so far, the writers are doing a really good job

Guest

Celia

I agree…I am enjoying SB’s stealth and story, so far. The downside is my ‘spending’ more time with St. Sonny and his sidekick, Carly.

Guest

Steve

Since Monica already had her “not-dead son walking through the door” moment with AJ, I doubt these writers will go there. It’s not Alexis’ house, as she was still in the lake house when SB/Jason left, so unfortunately it has to be Sonny. I’m more interested in finding out what happened to Drew when Betsy said he supposedly died. I don’t think Helena had the forward thinking to take a 3-year old knowing he’d have killer instincts. Either Susan didn’t die at the hands of Crane Tolliver or perhaps she, too, had a twin, either of whom came to claim… Read more »

Guest

Shay

Could it be the balcony entrance at Sam’s? Makes more sense that Jason would wish to return to his wife and son first….(Yes, Steve, even before he goes to genuflect before the altar of St. Sonny!) As for “what happened to Drew?” Maybe Heather found someone else wishing to buy a little boy, so she absconded with the child in order to receive an additional payout. I never underestimate Ms. Webber’s greed and ingenuity when it comes to pulling off such capers! All I know is we need another Heather appearance to shed some light on this ongoing mystery!

“at the end of the day” TPTB really care about fan tune in and neilson ratings expletive i’m not so far off track to insinuate the gall that muddles this show.. with overload on Sonny and Carly.. the dullard if shelley and frank are on “THEIR” course Steve Burton will run in to : Maurice Benard.. yeah i’ll say the actors name who stinks .. as Sonny will it be him ? who is an affront , to keep .. the focus of GH, his and MB and GH trot out Laura Wright.. because she’s loud enough to bring their… Read more »

I’ll give GH 1 year before there is an R.I.P. next to it. Anna and Finn are a bore. It ‘s as though the writers don’t know what to do with them, and it shows. Lucas and Brad where “dropped like a hot potato !” Alexi, Ashley, and Watkins are being let go. Now, Jessica Tuck, another new face is coming to town. Pristina is the best story that GH had going. So what, Parker is NOT Kristina’s professor. They are 2 consenting adults. There is nothing wrong with this pairing. They have amazing chemistry. I know chemistry, I have… Read more »

Guest

Steve

I agree that Anna and Finn lack chemistry. Finola’s an excellent actress, but she seems to playing down in this storyline.

While it was a mistake to bump Watkins off contract, it appears he’s staying on recurring for a while. Ainsworth booked other tv/movie work, so she was not let go. Hopefully her career takes off, but she can always return. Without Kristina, there’s no need for Parker.

Marcus Coloma On His GH Exit: “I Don’t Know Why That Decision Was Made, But I Don’t Feel Any ill Will and I Didn’t Feel I Got Fired”

February 4, 2023

This week, GH fans saw Adam Huss returning to the ABC soap opera as Nikolas Cassadine to finish out the rest of the scenes originally intended to be played by Marcus Coloma who ended his three-year run on the show a tad early.

As has been previously reported, Coloma came down with Covid-19 as his final tape days neared, and a decision was made for him to not return to finish off his last run of episodes.

With all the rumors and stances taken by everyone involved, Coloma was the special guest on this week’s episode of the That’s Awesome Podcast hosted by Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson and discussed his departure from the long-running daytime drama series.

Marcus expressed that when he took the role on GH, he was excited to be in that kind of environment (working on a soap opera), and only signed on for three years. However, as time went by it became more difficult to reconcile leaving when his contract was up, sharing: “You fall in love with the crew and everybody along with it. So, two and a half years in, this decision that was so clear in the beginning is getting complicated.”

The actor added that while, “I knew the end was coming, it wasn’t like GH was saying, ‘Hey, Marcus, we want you to stay.’ There was no negotiation … and all I can say to that is I don’t know why that decision was made, but I don’t feel any ill will and I didn’t feel like I got fired. It just felt like … there was maybe an understanding that I was going to be there for three years. The big surprise is how much it hurt. Even though I knew I was going to leave.”

In the end, Coloma reflected that this may have concluded as it should, adding, “I really do have some big goals and those goals would have never been realized if I would have stayed. That’s not to take anything away from GH because I admire everything about it.”

Watch the episode of That’s Awesome featuring Coloma below.

Then weigh-in, what do you think of Marcus’ thoughts on his exit as GH’s Nikolas Cassadine? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Adam Huss Back to GH as Nikolas Cassadine

January 31, 2023

With Marcus Coloma’s last appearance as Nikolas Cassadine on last week’s January 26th episode of General Hospital, the soap opera brought back Adam Huss to finish out the dark prince’s storyline.

According to Soaps.com. Huss aired today on the January 31st episode of the ABC daytime drama series and will finish out the scenes that were written to be portrayed by Coloma.

Adam previously subbed for Coloma back in September 2021 and again in November 2022.

After it was announced that Coloma was leaving GH, the network and the series agreed that it would be best that Marcus did come in to tape his last episodes since he was recovering from Covid-19 at the time. Thus, we are seeing those episodes featuring Huss now airing in early February.

So, glad to see Adam back to wrap Nikolas’ current storyline? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

General Hospital Alum Annie Wersching Dead at 45

January 29, 2023

In very sad news on Sunday, actress Annie Wersching, who starred in the series 24, Bosch and Timeless, and portrayed Amelia Joffe on General Hospital, passed away this morning from cancer. Annie was only 45-years-0ld.

Deadline broke the news of Annie’s death. In a statement, Wersching’s husband, actor Stephen Full, shared: “There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn’t require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. ‘Go find it. It’s everywhere.’ And find it we shall. As I drove our boys, the true loves of her life, down the winding driveway and street, she would yell BYE! until we were out of earshot and into the world. I can still hear it ringing. Bye my Buddie. ‘I love you little family…’ ”

Wersching’s first major role came as Amelia Joffe on General Hospital. She played the role from May to September of 2007. Amelia came to Port Charles to seek revenge on Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and wound up lovers with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

Later, she went on to star as Renee Walker in Seasons 7 and 8 of 24. She also appeared in The Vampire Diaries, Runaways, Extant, and The Rookie. One of her last roles was in Star Trek: Picard which came two decades after she made her screen acting debut in an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

Annie is survived by her husband and children children Freddie, 12; Ozzie, and Archie, 4.
