GENERAL HOSPITAL: A Gaslighted Anna ‘Seems’ to Have Had a Mental Break; Willow Has The ‘Key’ to Win Custody of Her Kids (Recap)
On the Wednesday, February 4 episode of General Hospital, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) executes her new plan to get full custody of her children from Michael (Rory Gibson), Felicia (Kristina Wagner), Mac (John J. York) and Emma (Braedyn Bruner) wind up in France and are shocked by the shape they find Anna (Finola Hughes) in, and Jason (Steve Burton) reveals to Sonny (Maurice Benard), who is responsible for trying to kill him and setting the fire to his penthouse that sent Michael to a burn clinic in Germany and more.
First, now in France, Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Mac (John J. York) go to see Anna inside her room at the mental health clinic. Anna’s doctor explains that she has been through some type of traumatic ordeal. Sadly, when the Scorpios see Anna, she begs them to get her out of the clinic because she has to stop Faison, and that he is alive.
Anna goes to explain how she was kidnapped, chloroformed in Port Charles and taken to a small room. The super spy and PCPD commissioner (who is on leave) spells out how Liesl (Kathleen Gati) was in the room when her Polycythemia Vera reared its head and gave her a blood treatment. Felicia explains to her that Liesl has been in Port Charles this entire time.

A GASLIGHTED ANNA LEADS TO A MENTAL BREAK?
As she continued on, Anna explains how Faison talked to her through an intercom, which Mac thinks is impossible, because he’s dead, but Anna fires back that Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and Nathan (Ryan Paevey) were believed dead and are alive, so that could be true for Faison! Next, Anna says Peter August (Wes Ramsey) also visited her in her cell, causing major worry for Mac and Felicia how their friend has seemingly lost it!
The doctor tells the Scorpios that Anna cannot be moved to the United States at this point, because she is also facing assault charges and she is advising that Anna stay in France until she is mentally strong enough to return to Port Charles.
Emma insists on seeing her grandmother. When she goes in, Emma is gut-punched to see what bad shape Anna is in; especially when she tells Emma that Faison is keeping an eye on them. Anna tells her to go before it’s too late, but Emma doesn’t want to leave her like this. Anna gets even more upset and agitated. Suddenly, the doctor and an orderly give her a sedative to calm Anna down. The episode featured excellent performances by Finola Hughes and Braedyn Bruner.
JASON IS ON TO CULLUM
Meanwhile, Jason visits Sonny and tells him Anna is in terrible trouble, but instead of going after her, he has to first stay in Port Charles to help Britt. Jason reveals to Sonny what Britt told him in confidence, that she is being forced to work for Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). Jason also reveals that Cullum has involvement as the one who tried to kill Sonny and set fire to the penthouse that caused Michael his burns. Sonny wants to take Cullum out. Jason says they have to wait because he has to get his hands on Britt’s medication to reverse engineer it. He needs Cullum alive for now, otherwise Britt could die too.
WITH THIS KEY, I THEE FRAME YOU
Michael and Willow meet with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Ric (Rick Hearst) to work out a custody agreement to present to the judge for Amelia and Wiley. Willow thinks she’s in a better position than Michael and wants to take her chances in court; especially since he has been dating a hooker and was seen at the scene of Drew’s shooting. Alexis pipes up that Drew blackmailed Judge Heran and then killed her. Willow can’t believe she would lose her kids because of Drew, now that he is incapacitated.

Next, Michael says Willow can have the kids every other weekend and a month during the summer, but Willow balks at that set-up. Willow says Michael’s rule was to keep Drew out of the kids’ lives, and since he is basically in a coma and unable to talk, what’s the problem?
Alexis proposes a 60/40 custody split in Michael’s favor. Willow says she needs a minute to think about it, and so she wants to be alone. She walks out into the waiting area. Her next move … but of course! She grabs Michael’s key ring from his jacket pocket and adds Drew’s house key to it. Willow walks back inside the law office and says she is fine with the custody terms. Alexis says she’ll draw up the papers and give them to the judge.
So, who is going to help Anna escape the mental facility? Will it be Jason or Emma? Is she so far gone from being drugged and gaslighted by Cullum, Pascal, Sidwell, and company? What did you think of Willow’s move with the key ring, where someone will find that Michael has Drew’s house key, making him look guiltier than ever? Is Willow about to get full custody of her children? Weigh-in via the comment section below. But first, check out these key scenes featuring Finola Hughes from today’s GH.
Braedyn is a real find for this show. As Emma, she has the ability to drive story for years to come.
Some of Finola’s best work in a while.
I absolutely agree. The fact that this young actress can hold her own in scenes with the amazingly gifted Finola Hughes speaks volumes about her talent. They were completely believable as grandmother and granddaughter. While I don’t enjoy seeing the formidable Anna Devane in this weakened state yet again, these two actresses are making it worth watching.
Finola is fantastic as always.
I find the rest of this story very confusing. I don’t like when I can’t follow a soap’s logic.
I suspect this story will begin to pick up now. What you have seen the last few months, with Anna trapped in the underground dungeon, tripping balls on unknown psychedlics, and hallucinating visits from Faison & Whiny Heiny, I’m thinking this was a clever way to cover for Finola’s usual three month vacation. They likely filmed all the “dungeon scenes” before hand, and since they didn’t really disrupt the continuity of any other storylines, they could slip a scene into an episode every week or two, and make her extended absence far less noticeable.
So now that she’s somehow ended up in France, I’m guessing that’s when she came back to work for real, so hopefully we will see some movement here.
Now on the other horn… she’s in France. The last we saw of Robert Scorpio, he was also in France. Is that just a coincidence, or did they bring the Scorpios to France to set up the sad story of Robert’s departure from the mortal realm?
I love Finola Hughes and love Braeden Bruner as Emma( I still see the WSB in her future) but this storyline is dragging, like Anna said since Halloween, and I hope its Anna who saves herself along with the Scorpios, because well Jason decided his new young gf is more important to save,Drew is now learning what happens to you when you go young. (way to go willow), ok, I’m projecting but the show needs to start moving things along, with almost all their storylines playing out right now, I mean Valetin is just living in the attic, and Nathan is more interested in hooking up with Lulu then finding out where he’s been for the past seven years, what’s up with Chase obsession with getting Michael back for stealing Willow from him?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.
In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.
Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.
Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?
In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.
ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION
Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.
Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.
ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA
In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.
It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.
So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Drops First Single EDM/Dance Track ‘If You Need Me’

Last weekend, we shared the news that General Hospital alum and Daytime Emmy winner, Chad Duell (ex-Michael Corinthos) was releasing his first single today on June 26th and it has indeed dropped! And for those readers who guessed that Duell’s first track out of the gate was going to be an EDM/Dance/House track … you are correct, sir!
The song entitled, “If You Need Me” is perfect for the late night clubs and can be found on Spotify and other major streaming platforms! Duell is noted as the performing artist, but as the composer/ lyricist and the beatmaker of the track. For his music projects, Chad is going solely by the name of “Duelly” which has been his social media handle for years.
Taking to his Instagram on Friday, Duell explained his deep dive into making music, expressing, “I’ve wanted to make music for a long time… I just never did it. It always felt like this huge, overwhelming thing to learn. All the technical side of it, the programs, everything that goes into actually building a track… it was easy to keep pushing it off. A couple months ago I finally just decided to go for it.”

BIT BY BIT PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Chad added, “Since then I’ve been putting in a lot of time learning, experimenting, figuring things out, and slowly starting to find a sound I’m really proud of. This first release is more of a dance/EDM vibe, but I’ve also been working on a lot of different styles behind the scenes that I’m just as excited about. At some point I realized I could keep holding onto everything trying to make it perfect… or I could just start putting music out and grow as I go.”
Stepping out of his own way, Duell firmly says, “So that’s what I’m doing. My first track “If You Need Me” is out now. More coming soon… this is just the beginning.”
As GH viewers know, Chad made the decision to step away from General Hospital after a 15-year run with the series where his last episode aired in January of 2025. By May of last year, the role was recast with Rory Gibson debuting in the part.
Give a listen below to Duelly’s “If You Need Me,” and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Did You Think of the Return of Anna Devane, and What’s In the Letter?

Finola Hughes made her dramatic return on-screen on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of General Hospital. Viewers will see Finola as Anna Devane again on tomorrow’s June 26th episode.
In the story, while in the French mental health facility, Anna has a session with Dr. Laurent. She tell her she now knows she was never kidnapped and that Cesar Faison is dead.
As she continued with her ruse, she went on to say she understands she was enlisted back into the WSB on a secret mission, and through that she relived all the trauma she endured by Faison, which caused her to have a psychotic break. Anna promises Dr. Laurent that her treatment plan had helped her so much in figuring out what was real, and what was in her imagination.

ANNA’S GOT HER OWN PLAN TO ESCAPE
In a smart move (hopefully) Anna told Laurent if she could talk to someone else who had known Faison that it might aid in her recover. She was given the phone and she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), who agreed to fly to France in the morning. Dr. Laurent claims she is pleased with Anna’s progress, but that they still have a very long long way to go.
Now by herself, Anna pulled out a packet of letters from a bedside table. There is one in particular that she is fixated on. What does it contain? Is this all a part of her escape plan? Will she warn Felicia that “Nathan” is really Cassius (Ryan Paevey)? If so, will Felicia even believe her?
In a summer preview with Soap Opera Digest, GH co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten shared, “We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”
So, were you happy to see Anna Devane back on your screens? What do you think is in the particular letter she was staring at? Will Felicia help Anna escape or not believe a word she says? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, you can check out some of the scenes from Anna’s on-screen return below.
