GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Reels from Bobbie’s Death; Laura, Scott and Lucy are Devastated, Nina is Exposed
Wednesday’s January 3rd episode of General Hospital, delivered an emotional punch as it was time for Port Charles to learn the news that Bobbie Spencer had died.
For months, viewers have wondered how and when GH was going to kill-off the iconic character of Bobbie, since her portrayer, Jackie Zeman, had passed away back in May of 2023 at the age of 70. Zeman died following a short battle with cancer.
Now on GH, it was time for Bobbie’s family and friends to receive the heartbreaking news that while in Amsterdam tending to Luke’s affairs, she died suddenly. In story, Carly (Laura Wright) received a call from the embassy in Amsterdam letting her know that her mother was gone.

Trying to process what she just heard, Carly’s world is rocked as Drew (Cameron Mathison) tries to comfort her. Sitting at her kitchen table, Carly recalls, via a flashback, telling Bobbie she is changing her last name legally to Spencer.
Drew called Bobbie’s son Lucas to let him know about her death. Carly keeps thinking about the past few months and that if had done something differently maybe her mother would still be alive. Carly admits she was worried about Bobbie handling Luke’s affairs on her own, and she should have pushed her to come home to Port Charles sooner. Drew reveals Bobbie died peacefully in her sleep, and Carly shouldn’t feel regret.

In one of the more heartbreaking moments, Carly remembers talking to Bobbie on Christmas Eve and telling her to hurry back so they could ring in the New Year together. Through her tears, Carly says if she knew that was the last time she was going to talk to her mom, she would have told her how much she meant to her, and how much she changed her life.
Later, in deep sadness, Carly recalls how she came to Port Charles setting out to destroy Bobbie’s life, and then how Bobbie taught her to be a good person, and a good mom.

Meanwhile, as Laura (Genie Francis), Kevin (Jon Lindstrom), Scott (Kin Shriner), Lucy (Lynn Herring) and Martin (Michael E. Knight) are all at the Metro Court, Martin has to excuse himself early to work on a case, Lucy and Scott are plotting against Tracy (Jane Elliot), and Laura receives a phone call from Lucas.

A shocked Laura reveals to Scott, Lucy, and Kevin that Bobbie has died. As Bobbie’s dear friends sit together at the table and try to process the news, each remembers a moment with Bobbie in a flashback. Perhaps, the saddest is Scott, who has lost his best friend.
Elsewhere at The Savoy, as Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) arrive, Michael (Chad Duell) tells Sonny (Maurice Benard) it is Nina who turned Carly and Drew into the SEC. Sonny is stunned, as is Willow, who is shocked that her mother would do such a thing. After Michael and Willow exit, they have a verbal fight over the fact that Michael knew for months about Nina, and how Willow held the truth about her cancer diagnosis from him.

Inside the Savoy, Nina tells Sonny she was coming to tell him the truth, but he wants her to go to Carly’s and apologize and let her know what she did. Sonny storms out and heads to church, beyond angry.
At the end of the episode, it’s none other than Nina, who has the worst timing, who shows up to Carly’s who is in the middle of grieving her mother’s death.
The episode features a bravura performance by Laura Wright, and touching work from Lynn Herring, Genie Francis and Kin Shriner. This marks just the beginning of the emotional journey GH will take us on, culminating in next week’s memorial services for Bobbie and to honor Jackie Zeman.
So, what did you think of Carly and Bobbie’s friends learning of her death? Nina finally being revealed as the culprit that turned in Carly and Drew to the SEC?

What an exciting as well as heart breaking episode! This is the GH I hope every episode will be like and when it happens it reels me in. I’ve watched this show for 50+ years and it’s so good to see the mix of legacy and newer characters. Jackie Zeman will be missed.
This is the most hypocritical soap ever. Nina did nothing wrong. She turned two criminals in. Period
Yes , she did a bad thing by keeping Sonny from his family. But, Carly, as a mother, kept Willow from Nina and to a certain point, Nelle. Carly is a devil and TPTB are trying to sanctify her.
The same goes for Sonny. He can kill, cheat and betray—God forbid if the tables are turned.
The mafioso dares tell Cyrus he cannot be in the House of God, yet here he is in Church—WOW!! What is the difference between Cyrus and Sonny? Irony bites. Sonny is a complete oxymoron personified.
I was swearing at Carly and Drew to just SHUT UP! They are both so obnoxious! Nina was right to turn them in, they were guilty, especially Carly. I am on Nina’s side 100% but now we are going to get endless “Nina is so evil!” ridiculous scenes – fortunately Cynthia Watros is so great she will make it all work but it’s so BLECH!!!! Team Nina!!!!! Willow should rid herself of Carly, not Nina! Grrr!!!!
And of course thug Sonny is back, of course! How about listening and realizing the position you put your wife in? Geesh! Maybe Laura will finally come to her senses and end her ridiculous friendship with Sonny but I doubt it.
Monday’s episode was beyond superb – I cited it as a Drama Series, Directing and Writing submission for Emmys, along with great performances from Cynthia Watros, Chad Duell, Lisa LoCicero and Rena Sofer!
Yeahyyy!! Geniuses such as you and I think alike., Freeman . LOL—Team Nina—you bet!!
It was completely tasteless to have Nina show up at Carly’s house the same night she learned of her mother’s death.
Outstanding!!!
Laura Wright was amazing in these scenes!! The actor playing Drew needs to be replaced ( sorry he is not good, limited range/makes strange faces). Glad to see Nina get it handed to her. Can we please end this SMike/Nina mess?

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.
