GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Shoots Charlotte: What Will Happen Next?

Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) are about to face some huge obstacles, following the cliffhanger of Friday’s episode of General Hospital and as as we head into Monday’s all-new episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

In a recap from Friday, Valentin drops off Charlotte (Scarlett Fernand, Jake (Hudson West), Georgie and Danny so they can trick-or-treat around Port Charles for Halloween. However, Charlotte has a plan of her own continuing to be obsessed with bringing down Anna Devane, thanks, in part, to a treacherous letter written to her by the late Victor Cassadine.

As the kids continuing their trick-or-treating, Charlotte sneaks off and runs around the bushes. She opens her backpack and changes into a black-cloaked halloween outfit and takes off.

Meanwhile, Anna at her apartment, is rummaging through files inside a steamer trunk.  A lightbulb goes off in her head, and she states,  “Of course it was you, you smarmy bastard!”  Next, Anna calls Robert (Tristan Rogers) and says he needs to see what she found and she is coming over right away.  Concerned by the evidence she has found, Anna gets her gun out of the drawer and takes it with her.

Once at Robert’s office, Anna says these files contains a memo about “Forsyth” and a screwup he made that would have ended his career as an agent. Anna explains that “Forsyth” used to be high up in the intelligence community, but he moved to the defense industry. Anna reveals if this were to come out, he’d be fired. Robert warns Anna to be careful.  Having already having her place torched, Anna says, “At least I know who I’m up against.” But as GH viewers know, Anna’s theory is misdirected as Charlotte has been the one setting her up and trying to bring her down.

Now outside of Anna’s, Charlotte has the keys to let herself into the apartment. Dressed in her black cloak, she begins to snoop inside the steamer trunk of documents using a flashlight. She recalls Victor’s letter telling her to never trust Anna.

Anna has now returned home, and sees the door and the lock is not the way she left it. In the hallway, Anna pulls out her gun. Inside, Charlotte, still in her costume has her back to Anna.  With her gun aimed, Anna tells the person to freeze. Charlotte turns around with the flashlight in her hand, which is misinterpreted by Anna as a gun.  Anna fires a shot and Charlotte goes down.

Teasers for next week on GH share, that Anna appears to be putting pressure to stop Charlotte from bleeding out. Jake will be part of the action as well.

What do you think will happen next?  Will Charlotte survive and then continue to manipulate Anna out of Valentin’s life? Share your theories below. But first check out the latest promo for the action the week of November 6th on General Hospital below.

Obviously Charlotte will be fine. They aren’t killing off one of Luke & Laura’s grandkids, and they aren’t going to make Anna a child killer. Now whether her relationship with Val the Bastard survives is entirely another matter. But he might have been a little more honest with her about it, when he learned that Charlotte was the one who was stalking Anna (and probably torched her house)

Now…. will this somehow help them figure out that Charlotte has been brainwashed by her Grandpa Victor? There must be some reason Hallmark Drew suddenly got out of prison, right? He’s “been there and done that” with the tarot card brainwashing, so maybe he will see something “familiar” in Charlotte’s behavior?

All they need do is connect with Laura on her current “getting to know you” tour. She’s already figured out that Victor is behind this.

Well, Laura can’t “reconnect” with Victor, because he’s in my custody, and we aren’t letting the Cassadines escape like we used to do for fun once in a while.

I know what’s going to happen, Charlotte will wake up, not know who she is thus becoming the third character on the show with memory loss.

Nah, they aren’t going to do that, because unlike Ned’s “accident” this one doesn’t have any benefits to the Valentini regime’s endless Nina propping.

This is all Valentin’s fault. He should have told Anna his suspicions from the start and put Charlotte in a mental facility to get help, not leave her out to strike again.
I feel bad for Anna in all this.

Anna has nothing to feel guilty about. She had no idea Charlotte had a problem like this and was following her grandfather’s instructions .As far as Valenti goes, he’s always overlooked or looked aside when Charlotte started acting out, even as a small child tormenting her cousin.

Did not see this coming-more great writing from GH

Anybody know when the work of the non-scab writers will begin? The writing has been a tedious mess. First, the gender switch of the mastermind calling the shots with Austin and Mason; the hokey Finn/Elizabeth cabin sequence; a week of Laura reconnecting with every member of the cast but Spinelli; a week of Cyrus reconnecting with every member of the cast but Yuri; and the unending and painfully uninteresting saga of Alexis and Gregory. Seriously, the plan to pull the rug out from Drew’s judge is tenuous at best. Now we’re shooting kids? Ugh!

While I’ve enjoyed the up tempo pacing of most of the temporary writers timeframe, it will be interesting to see what changes occur as we head into December when the regular writers return.

As they probably don’t want a maudlin holiday season, we’ll probably have to wait until February sweeps for the major storyline addressing Bobbie’s passing.

Are we so bereft of writing inspiration that GH’s endless (unexamined) gun violence as default plot device now extends to shooting children? I mean it’s certainly an accurate reflection of US gun culture but jeezus this is out of hand and also such lazy writing.

Oh, .B.S. It’s o.k for this “child” to get into all this lousy stuff, causing trouble, etc, but when Anna who is practically paranoid, thinking someone is out to get her, which she’s right about by the way, what should she do about protecting herself, when Valentin does not confide in her, his worries and suspicions about Charlotte, who by the way Nina knows about and has hidden Charlotte’s destruction of Anna’s hotel suite, that’s o.k, huh? We also know this will be found out at some point. Nothing is gone forever on these shows..Hopefully, this will cause the ultimate breakup ofAnna and Valentin, she’s too good for him and his spooky brat.

Violet, I don’t think that Shawn and I are criticizing Anna. We are taking issue with the writing, which has been sloppy and exploitative. Valentin, in particular, is being written as suddenly clueless when it comes to how to deal with the irrefutable evidence that his daughter vandalized the hotel room, and very well may have set fire to Anna’s home. What is it that Charlotte is looking for? What does she gain by going through random papers? It is just a vehicle for her to be shot. Again, sloppy writing.

As I said on an earlier site, Valentin acted very irresponsibly not telling Anna what was going on with Charlotte—to avoid this.

wow Great surprising writing from the team !! Finola just gave her Emmy performance ! finally she get her due !!!

I did not find this so surprising. I knew something was going to go down, considering Charlotte’s state of mind—-she’s under Victor’s spell and her consistent furtive actions were a tell-all.
This is what the writers wanted to happen.
I believe this will be the end for Anna and Valentina—the door opens for him and Nina.

Crappy writing, but agreed. Finola Hughes is amazing!

what about nina please get this solve tell carly and get it going

Isn’t there just some way to bring duke back again for Anna? She’s turning into a freaked out character. That’s not Anna!

I would be more than happy to send Duke back up. Give me a call, Frank!

Oh, Satan you’re such a card.

Hey, if you’re going to use my dog’s name, at least spell it right.

First of all Anna had every right to shoot Charlotte. Second of all if I was a mob boss and Nina ran to ex boyfriend’s side she would be in the trunk of a car or in a barrel off sheepshead bay before the end of the week period

This thing with Ned amnesia only last a week at most so they need to get this nonsense overwith

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

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.
