The Christmas Eve episode of General Hospital brought with it some heart-tugging moments and what would be perceived as Santa working his magic to bring some yuletide miracles to those who wished for a special something or someone.

First, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) is begrudgingly working at the hospital on Christmas Eve when she runs into Lucas (Van Hansis) and they call a true for the holiday. However, she goes on to explain that tensions are still on ice with her mutter, Liesl (Kathleen Gati).  So even though Nina (Cynthia Watros) and her mom are going over to the Scorpios for Christmas, she is not, so it’s best she is at work.

Later, she gets a photo texted to her by Liesl of her mutter and her brother, Nathan (Ryan Paevey) together. Lucas thinks that it’s nice her mom is thinking of her and it’s a step forward. At Carly’s (Laura Wright), Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) is up in the attic making a mini-Christmas tree, when Donna (Scarlett Spears) walks in and he has to hide.

Following that, Carly heads up to the attic and tells Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) that Donna thinks Santa put up the tree. Valentin laments that this is his first Christmas without his daughter, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke). He thanks Carly for letting him stay in her house and wishes her the best to enjoy the holiday with her family. Brennan (Chris McKenna) had stopped by Carly’s, too. After all his platitudes towards her and hugs and kiss, which she now clearly despises, he heads out after Kristina (Kate Mansi) shows up with ribbon to help Donna wit.

Once outside of Carly’s, Jack makes a call to pull the trigger on Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). Back at the hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucas (Van Hansis) are talking about how bad they feel for Portia (Brook Kerr), that she will be spending the holiday alone (after her lies and her affair with Isaiah came out on the witness stand at Willow’s trial). Britt returns to the hub and Lucas notices she just got a notification on her phone. She looks and learns that her medical license has been reinstated! She screams, “Merry Christmas to me!”

At the Ashfords, Jordan (Tanisha Harper) shows up for Christmas. In front of the entire family, Trina (Tabyana Ali) offers up an apology. Sh says she has been unfair and blamed Jordan for her parents’ break up. Trina also apologizes to Curtis (Donnell Turner) for accusing him of cheating on her mom. Later, she and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) talk about Portia and that she hasn’t got a message from her mom on Christmas Eve. Kai says maybe her mom is respecting her enough not to bother her, when she knows how upset Trina was at her for lying and learning she had an affair with Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) during Willow’s trial.

Now at Sonny’s (Maurice Benard), Carly arrives and notices Charlotte looking at the keychain Valentin had her deliver. Suddenly, Carly says she forgot her mom’s nativity set and asks Charlotte to come outside and help her bring it in. Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) finally gives a small peace offering to his dad, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) after heeding the message from his brother, Gio (Giovanni Mazza). He offers his dad the last half of a cookie without saying a word.

At GH, Isaiah walks Portia out of the hospital arm and arm as Britt texts Liesl that she got her license back, while Brennan now lingers in the background at the hospital. Elsewhere at the Scorpios, couples kiss and hug including Gio and Emma (Braedyn Bruner).

In the final moment of the episode, Carly leads Charlotte to the attic of her house where she opens the door and sees her father, Valentin standing there. The two run to each other and embrace. Valentin looks over at Carly and says, “Thank you.” We fade to black.

So, what did you think of General Hospital’s Christmas episode? Did you have a favorite moment from it? Were you glad to see Valentin and Charlotte reunite, thanks to Carly? What do you think of Britt getting her medical license back and what she will owe Jack Brennan in the process? Previously, Britt had refused to cooperate with the WSB unless her license was restored. And what of Portia? Will she move on in her life with Isaiah? If so, do you then think the baby she is carrying will turn out to be Curtis’, thus complicating this entire situation even further? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section. But first, check out Trina’s apology from her family in the video below.

I love this episode so much. The payoff of seeing Valentin with Charlotte gave the same feelings that I had when Michael walked into the Nurses’s Ball. I REALLY want Valentin and Carly to have a great love story. This would be a great umbrella storyline for Carly, Valentine, Jason, Sonny, Anna, Charlotte, Lulu among others. JPS is one of daytime’s best actors. Let’s make him a major part of the canvas.

Carly and Valentin? No. Ick. No. Carly gets all of the men and she has zero chemistry with all of them. Valentin is Anna’s, and they actually have chemistry.

They have zero chemistry too.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

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. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

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.
