GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly and Jason Share Their Heartbreak Over Michael; Lucky Tries to Piece Together Why Cyrus is the ‘Digitalis’ Killer
On the Tuesday, January 14th episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) may have an idea of how to help Michael (Chad Duell), Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) is trying to understand the motivation behind the person (Cyrus) killing patients with a lethal dose of digitalis, Tracy (Jane Elliot) refuses to let Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) take the kids off the Quartermaine property and Willow and Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) are now officially enemies.
Let’s start at the hospital, where Jason sees Carly is outside of Michael’s room. After they embrace, Carly cries, “How will we get through this?” Carly says Michael just has to make it, and Jason says he will as Michael always has gotten his strength from her. Carly responds that she feels he gets his strength from Jason, because he’s always looked up to him.
Then in a heart-tugging remembrance, Jason says Michael was the first baby he ever held. It’s at that point, Carly admits that Jason was Michael’s father in every way that counts. She always wondered what her child with Jason would have been like, instead of the child fathered by AJ, but she wouldn’t trade Michael for anything. Carly cries that she will love Michael no matter what, but he may have to have so many outward scars and speaks on how the outside world can be cruel. Jason says what if he doesn’t have to (live with those scars)?

Jason reminds Carly about the clinic Ava went to for the burns on her face, and Carly wonders how she got in to that place. Jason tells her it was through Valentin’s conn. Will this be how Valentin gets back into Port Charles without any trouble with Carly needing his help for Michael?
Meanwhile, Lucky is speaking to the head of the redemption mission about Cyrus. She informs him that Cyrus’ is doing a wonderful job of giving comfort to hospitalized and long-term care patients. Josslyn (Eden McCoy) overhears the conversation and learns of his charity work at Rice Plaza and then tells Lucky what she knows about the night Dex was stabbed, and how Dex, at one point, was ordered by Sonny to kill Cyrus while he was in the hospital, but Sonny changed his mind.
Later, Lucky talks this all out with Liz (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucas (Van Hansis), saying they need to figure out the “why” someone (or Cyrus) is killing people such as Sam or attempting to kill someone such as Michael?

Nina (Cynthia Watros) finds Drew (Cameron Mathison) at her door and is not happy to see him. She doesn’t like his “hold” over her daughter, and his arrogant and controlling nature when it comes to Willow. The two still share the secret that Drew was also sleeping Nina. Will that finally come out? Will Nina tell her daughter?
Willow is about to take the kids off the Quartermaine premises when Sasha stops her. Sasha can’t believe Willow would do this, but Willow says she’s doing what she needs to do to keep her kids. Willow says the situation doesn’t involve Sasha and wonders why she is interested. Is it because things went belly-up with Cody? Does she want Michael back? Yet to be revealed is that Sasha is carrying Michael’s baby which would blow this custody battle sky high. Let’s not forget, Willow made a snide remark about Sasha wouldn’t know what its like to be a mother! Stay tuned.

Martin (Michael E. Knight) comes to the Q’s to inform Tracy that Willow is taking the kids, and Tracy refuses to let that happen. At the end of the episode, Jason and Carly want to see Michael, but Felicia (Kristina Wagner) stops them, At the same time, Nina finds Sonny in the hospital chapel and ask him to talk to Tracy before things get nastier.
Do you think sending Michael to the place where Ava had plastic surgery on his face, will be the way the show writes off Chad Duell? Do you think collectively everyone is pretty dumb not to know “why” Cyrus is killing select people with “digitalis”, or are you as confused as the characters as to the motive? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out the scenes where Martin interrupts Tracy and Lulu’s discussion about finding Charlotte, with news on Willow taking the kids.
I think they may suspect why Cyrus targeted Sylvie and Lulu (mercy killing) but that doesn’t explain why he killed Sam or Dex, who were both healthy. We know Dex could place Cyrus on Sam’s floor when she died. That’s what they discussed at Rice Plaza before Cyrus stabbed him and why Cyrus killed Dex. But why did Cyrus kill Sam?
For the many flaws this story has, it certainly is bringing the drama. And the performances have been excellent, especially Jason & Carly’s scenes outside Michael’s room. The only way I’m able to stomach Drew is to completely disassociate the character now from the character Billy Miller played. As far as I’m concerned, they’re two completely different people, and this version of Drew is pure slimy villain. And why hasn’t Nina told Willow about her and Drew yet!? Shouldn’t her loyalty be to her daughter, first and foremost?
As for Cyrus, what is his motive for killing people? Putting them out of their misery? If so, that would make zero sense with Sam because she wasn’t in pain, she had a voluntary surgery that she was recovering well from. And if Cyrus is the person who stabbed Dex, then he caused his pain. Was he also the one who put a bomb in Sonny’s apartment?
At least Tracy is involved in the story. I loved watching her rip a strip off Drew. No one who goes up against Tracy gets off easy, so the more trouble she can cause “Drillow”, the better.
At least Lucky is getting some sort of a storyline. This Spencer reunion isn’t going the way I thought it would… appears so far all The Spencer clan hardly have any scenes or crossover stories yet….
And my question is why haven’t these deaths been reported to the PCPD? Shouldn’t the police have been involved with the first suspicious death (Sam) rather than an internal investigation by Portia?
Carly and Jason have real love between them and the actor’s portrayl of these deep feelings shows whenever they have a scene together, especially today.
Well, now that we’ve been remined of Ava’s burn recovery, we know it will be a done deal, between Carly and her buddy Jack, they’ll make it happen, just a matter of time and how long they want to drag this part out, before sending Michael to Germany. Also, I don’t see them letting Carly accompanying him, to hold his hand. That place should be reserved for his wife, if she really gave a damn!
I don’t think it’s Cyrus. Never did because the lack of a strong COMMON connection between he and the victims. But I had no other idea. I’ve now formed an opinion on who the killer is. I think it’s Isaiah. The connection between him and the victims is Lucky. I think Isaiah has an internal anger that’s been festering over Lucky having left him behind during a mission…
I think that’s why he found a way to stay in PC-payback to Lycky.

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.
