GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly and Valentin Hit the Sheets
The March 6 episode of General Hospital brought plenty of drama and set a few stories spinning into another axis. First and foremost, Carly (Laura Wright) is reeling from her blow-out conversation with Josslyn (Eden McCoy), where she learned that the reason her daughter is staying a WSB agent by her own choice is to take down Sonny (Maurice Benard) and those like him.
Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) is there in Carly’s kitchen and tells her, he is more concerned that Josslyn will turn them in. He is not convinced she wouldn’t do it, as much as Carly says she knows he’s in danger. In a moment of realization, Carly doesn’t even know who her daughter is anymore. Valentin says she didn’t know her daughter as well as she thought, since Josslyn had lied to her face for over a year.
Carly blames herself. Valentin says this is all Jack Brennan’s (Chris McKenna) doing. Carly says it’s bigger than that, and tells Valentin Josslyn’s plan to bring down Sonny. As Carly cries, she admits when she looked at Josslyn tonight, she saw herself when she first came to town, determined to destroy her mother, Bobbie Spencer’s, life.

Noting how working for the WSB had affected Valentin, Anna and Jack, Carly doesn’t want the same thing to happen to her daughter. Valentin says Josslyn will be fine, because she has a mom like her, and even the WSB can’t destroy her.
CAN’T FIGHT THE FEELING
Carly wants Valentin to run and save himself, but he refuses to leave her. Valentin says what may have started out as using her, is not the same. “We are real partners now, and I’m not leaving you,” a passionate Valentin says . Suddenly, Carly kisses him, and before you know it, they are ripping each other’s clothes off, and having sex in Carly’s bedroom.
Elsewhere, Josslyn went to confront Jason (Steve Burton), for telling Carly that she was in the WSB. He explains he just couldn’t lie to his best friend anymore. Josslyn threw in Jason’ face that Carly had no trouble lying to him about hiding Valentin in the attic. Jason asked Josslyn if she was going to tell anyone about Valentin. Concerned that her mother would be brought up on charges for treason, she will not tunn her in, but she needs Jason to convince her mother to get rid of Valentin.

JOSSLYN THROWS FACTS IN JASON’S FACE
As their heated confrontation continued, Josslyn revealed that she’d distracted Carly with her real target: Sonny and people like him. Jason asked if that was true? Josslyn revealed that sometimes when she thinks about injustice, Sonny comes to mind. Jason told Josslyn Jack was manipulating her. Once again ,she threw Jason’s past in his face, talking about how at the same age as she is now, Sonny had manipulated him to join his crime organization. Jason realizes just how deep Josslyn is into the world of the WSB.

MY BEST FRIEND WANTS MY (EX)-HUSBAND
Finally, Lulu (Alexa Havins) comes clean to Maxie (Kirsten Storms) about her feelings for Nathan (Ryan Paevey). After plenty of back and forth, Maxie tells her best friend, she is OK that she is with anyone … but her ex-husband. As much as Lulu keeps telling Maxie, that Maxie chose Spinelli, she is not OK with Lulu being involved with Nathan. When Lulu left, Maxie looked sadly at the photo of herself with Spinelli and her kids, while Lulu, outside the door, tries to steel herself for what’s next.
So, what did you think about Carly and Valentin hitting the sheets? Do you think it will be a one-night stand, or will Carly and Valentin not be able to resist one another, complicating the entire situation with Jack Brennan? Do you agree with how Josslyn came down on Jason about his choice getting into life with the mob and Sonny?
And, do you think Maxie will not change her mind and want to be with Nathan, or be OK with a life with Spinelli and her children, now that she knows Lulu and Nathan have feelings for each other? Share your thoughts via the comment section below, but first, you can catch the scenes again where Lulu talks to Maxie about her feelings for Nathan.
I have to admit, the ending with Valentin and Carly was HOT! I was like…wow. Today’s show was great!
OMGosh, Valentin & Carly were HOT together. What a scene. I never visualized them together but they need to STAY together. What a power couple they could be.
So what man will be next for Carly? Sidwell lol
Nathan?, lol, try Peter. Like father like son. Faison’s kid Peter that’s right.
And the writing revisionism continues. The situation Joss was in when Brennan manipulated her into joing the WSB is not remotely the same as Jason’s circumstances when he joined Corinthos Coffee, LLC.
For one thing, Sonny didn’t put Jason in those circumstances. His drunken brother AJ did. And the rest of the family couldn’t deal with the results, when the old Jason who liked to wear dorky Xmas sweaters, and wanted to be a doctor, was no longer there. They pushed him away, so he took a job offer from one of the few people who accepted his “new self” as he was.
Joss, on the other horn, was out of her depth chasing down Cyrus the Virus, though justified in wanting him to pay for killing Dex. And of course she was 666% justified in shooting Cyrus for coming at her with an axe. But she should have called Jason to clean that mess up. Or even Sonny. Because contrary to the lies she tells herself now, Sonny would have taken care of that problem for her, and wouldn’t have asked for anything in return.
Unlike Brennan. But given all that’s happened the last few days, between Joss, Carly, Jason, Britt, Brennan, and Val the Bastard, I suspect we might be seeing Brennan down here in Hell soon. All of those mentioned will be suspects, but it’s possible that Jason might take the rap for it, and spend a few months in Pentonville, before he’s cleared of the charges. Which of course would account for his upcoming absence.
Satan, you are so right about how Jason got involved with Sonny all those years ago. I sincerely hope you are wrong about Brennan’s possible demise. I’m with Carly on this one. I think there is a good person deep inside Brennan.
Well we all know that death is sometimes a temporary setback in Port Charles. Somebody with WSB connections could always convincingly fake his own death. But I doubt Carly would forgive him if he set Jason up on a bogus murder charge.
How do I unsee that? While Jax is from Down Under, Valentin travels to down under.
Valentin went from Carly’s attic to her basement.
He certainly did!
Carly is nuts. For decades she’s been tied to mobster Sonny and, by default, she has tied her children to him. Now, she’s hits the sheets with an ex-spy turned wanted criminal at the same time that she’s dating the head of an international espionage agency. Does this woman have any judgement whatsoever? I certainly hope this was a one and done episode. I am glad that Carly was reminded of her coming to Port Charles to destroy Bobbie’s life during the confrontation with Josslyn.
I am not pleased that Maxie has a problem with Lulu and Nathan’s developing connection. Maxie has moved on with Spinelli. Why shouldn’t Nathan move on with his life? I hope Maxie isn’t about to change her mind and want to reconnect with Nathan.
I understand Maxie’s reaction though. She’s still processing so much. She was in love with Nathan when he “died”, and she was in a coma when he returned from the dead. Yes, Spinelli was her choice but it would be painful for Maxie to see her best friend with her ex husband, a man she still hasn’t gotten over.
It might not be rational but who says love is rational? I get it.
Exactly. Nobody wants to see their ex date a friend. No matter how amicably they may have parted. Maxie already has enough on her plate establishing a new dynamic with Nathan. Now her dynamic with Lulu is forever changed also.
Carly has had at least TWO serious lapses in judgement in the past:
1) She hooked up with Frodd, who we were supposed to believe was Franco. The serial killer who had her son Michael raped while he was in prison on charges that were complete dragonshit. And who made Jason & Sam’s life a living Hell (and not in a good way) for a couple of years.
2) She later hooked up with Drew. Though at least he hadn’t become a complete asshole yet at the time, it still was a bizzare pairing.
Oddly enough the excuse given for BOTH of these hookups were essentially the same thing – they happened during the times that Jason was presumed “dead”. Frodd pretended to be Jason’s “twin” for a while. And of course Drew actually IS Jason’s twin. So Carly somehow convinced herself she could hold on to a piece of Jason by shagging his brother.
And didn’t she also briefly hook up with AJ again during his last time up on earth – also during Jason’s frst extended absence? Carly did have her own history with AJ back in the day, of course. But if she hooked up with him in 2013, it probably would bave been the “missing Jason” excuse.
Let me start out saying how the heck did Valentin and Carly end up sleeping together after he got kicked in the nuts? and I don’t like this pairing for the record, mainly because once again Carly gotta be paired with every guy on the show, her and sonny are the sluttiest characters on GH. Loved Josslyn ripping off on both Carly and later Jason, and then theres Lulu, oh boy these Spencer girls are something else, I know she was in a coma for four years and she probably wants some action but her trying to ration trying to hook up with her bff husband is just to much, I’m team Maxie here, Lulu seems so desperate its off coming.
I agree with all of this. Carly should wear underwear which reads,” Open all night.” The sex scene between her and Valentin was kind of cringe. It also reminded me of the sex scene between Anna and Valentin only that was epic and passionate. Also, Anna didn’t have that goofy, weird expression on her face like Carly did when Valentin went downtown.
Didn’t like Josslyn attacking Jason the way she did. She wants to bring down mob and gang leaders, she better remember her dad. He was no saint. Plus she is a murderer, another law enforcement hiding behind the badge.
Carly is always going to bed with somebody, so why not Valetin. That will make a few other women mad.
Please someway, some how put Jason with Diane , anyone but Britt.
Jason and Diane? That would be like pairing up Steve McQueen with Lucy from the Peanuts cartoon.
Joss did not murder Cyrus – he was coming after her.
Jasper Jacks – a corporate raider – is a far cry from a mob kingpin. I’m saying that and I didn’t even like Jax.
Joslynn does have criminal in her family though, and some would say he’s worse then sonny whose just a local criminal but her uncle jerry Jax is an international terrorist.
Maxie made her choice. She chose Spinelli. She should have no say in who Nathan dates. As for Carlie she will have Sonny, Jason and Brennan ticked at her when they find out she was not only hiding Valentine but sleeping with him.
Maxie was ok with losing Nathan to someone else because she chose Spinelli. She did not count on losing her best friend though. They may find a way to co-exist and be cordial, but their best-friend dynamic is gone. I don’t believe this is the real Nathan anyway. Maxie said as soon as she saw him, she didn’t have the same feelings for him. I believe it was the real Nathan, she would have.
When Carly lunged aggressively toward Valentin
to give him a big ole kiss, I was truly hoping he’d push her away and say that it’s not a good idea. But NO! Not only was he a willing participant, he went south of the border. I lost some respect for Valentin. I guess no man can resist Carly’s charms. Paging Anna! The love of Valentin’s life! You are needed back home ASAP.
I know. I was hoping Valentin would be Anna’s savior. Maybe they’ll have Jason be her savior to explain his upcoming absence. I do not like this Carly Valentin pairing. Zero chemistry and the love scenes were ick.
Sexy love scenes don’t appear to be in Laura Wright’s wheel house. The expression on her face as Valentin did his thing was hilariously awkward and yeah, kind of icky.
Totally hated the Valentin Carly sex scene – Josslyn Jason scene
I’ve seen better men for Carly than Valentine, like Brennen. They were hedonistic.
Lulu is getting on my nerves and Carly should not have slept with Valentine I am getting mad with the story wanted Lulu to get back with her ex not Dante and Liz
Maxie should let Nathan do what he wants!
o
Yea, Valcarly is what l have been hoping for since day damned one!!!!!!! Finally time for some great love in the afternoon.Take these two as far as they can go together.Yes yes yes

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.
