On an intense General Hospital, the June 30 episode picked right back up after Sidwell (Carlo Rota) outed “Nathan’s” true identify as Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) in front of Joe (Jonathan Bennett) and Ezra (Daniel Cosgrove). 

Suddenly, Cassius, who has been holding a gun on Joe, knocks him out. He next turns the gun on his “partner” Sidwell. Cassius tells him to go on the run now before he kills him. Ezra tries to leave, but Cassius demands he stay with Joe and help him when the cop comes to. Cassius reveals he is leaving town and no one will ever see or hear from him again.

After Cassius leaves, Ezra does the right thing and calls 911 for Joe and stays with him. Next, we see Cassius remove the data card from his phone and heads out to meet up with James (Gary James Fuller). At that time, James is hanging out with Cody (Josh Kelly) at the batting cages. When “Nathan” shows up, he tells James he has big plans for them, as Cody’s cellphone (which has been underwater and re-charging) finally came on and is filled with messages.

STOPPING CASSIUS

One of those voice messages was from Felicia (Kristina Wagner) warning Cody to keep James away from “Nathan,” because the guy posing as “Nathan” is an imposter. In that millisecond, Cassius and James walk by leaving, while Cody’s reeling from what he heard. Will he stop Cassius from taking off with James?

At the same time, Sidwell shows up at Ava Jerome’s art gallery. Present are Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor), Ava (Maura West) and Ava’s new bodyguard, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean). Sidwell, who is wanted for the attempted murder of Lucas Jones. and has nowhere else to go, now looks to have three bargaining chips as he realizes, he can no longer count on Cullum or Cassius and is going it alone.

OXYGEN QUALITY

Speaking of Cullum, he really is one of the more evil and despicable characters of all-time, played brilliantly by Andrew Hawkes, The WSB director went to Turning Woods, tied Jack’s (Chris McKenna) arms to his bed, tells him that he put DNR on his file with the front desk at the facility, and promises him he will meet his maker quickly.

As Jack tries to fend off Cullum, he puts a gas mask over Jack’s face and an oxygen tank filled with something lethal beside him. Cullum turns off the lights and leaves Jack there to die. Later, Nina (Cynthia Watros) visits Jack and finds Jack passed out strapped in with the oxygen tank next to him. Is he alive?

BREAKING INTO WYNDEMERE IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS

Finally, Carly (Laura Wright) is going to have the help of Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) to get into Wyndemere to find Josslyn (Eden McCoy).

Meanwhile, Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) finished the cold fusion prototype for Faison’s final project much to Josslyn’s horror. Josslyn is determined to get out of their captivity, while Obreacht is romanticizing that Cassius will save them.

So, what did you think about how it’s now every man for himself between Cassius, Cullum, and Sidwell? What moment from today’s GH shocked you the most? Let us know via the comment section. But first, check how Cullum set up Jack to takes his final breathes.

If you told me last summer when Paevey returned that I’d be sad when he would eventually depart, I wouldn’t have believed it. Paevey has added nuances to Cassius.

Similarly, Hawkes has been a great villain. Cullum looks like a goner, however.

The online rumors just might be true… there were reports that Rota and Contractor (married IRL) asked to be written off together. Otherwise, why was Justine placed in the gallery scene? Imagine it would be fun to shoot your spouse on tv.

I don’t want Justine written out. I really like her and she and Sonny are so cute together. I realize that relationship doesn’t have legs. If Justine goes, who’s going to be acting district attorney? Sadly, we know that Robert Scorpio isn’t coming back. Isn’t Molly too new an attorney for that job? It had better not fall to Ric.

Molly never even works in her own job!

Wait.. what? Molly has always been a hard worker. What a ridiculous statement.

Well, Port Charles’ favorite ambulance chaser could be headed back to town (with his daughter already confirmed to be there). He’d jump at the chance to try (and of course fail) and put Corinthos behind bars.

That would make my day. I’ve missed him.

Why would they want to be written off together? Isn’t it better for 1 spouse to have a job?
I love them both!

Collum is downright ghoulish! Poor Jack, every time Nina brings him the cheeseburger he’s been craving, he is unable to enjoy it. Yep. That is where my mind goes.

What shocked me???? …. Is the absence of Maxie! Maxie, Spinelli and George have been on quite the excursion at the Grand Canyon. It would have made more sense to have recasted Maxie especially for the conclusion of this “Nathan” story. I mean, we are to really believe that Maxie comes out of her coma, learns that her bestie has been sucking face with “Nathan” and she leaves her youngest child, James with his grandparents? Maxie has been on an this extended vacay and MIA from Deception. GH, this isn’t how Maxie operates, they needed to recast the role months ago when we (the fans) learnt the difficult and challenging times Kristen Storms is going through, physically and emotionally, that is. How will they conclude the “Nathan” story without Maxie? And, if James is “taken” by “Nathan”…will Maxie care and come back to Port Charles? She should! But the writings on the wall. There doesn’t seem like there’s any plans for Maxie’s return… and that… is weird.

Agree with you Jeremy. I love Kristen Storms and my heart breaks for her current real life situation. But, Maxie is definitely needed on canvas. TPTB should hire a temporary recast.

You are spot on. Why bring back Maxie from her coma only to have leave the canvas at what should be the climatic peak of a storyline that should place her front and center? There are talented actresses who have filled her shoes before quite well before. Maxie’s absence is glaring.

Hope Cassius got away so Ryan Paevey can come back some day when his schedule allows for another appearance.

‘General Hospital’s’ Tabyana Ali Weighs In on Who She Thinks is Trina’s Stalker (Exclusive)

Published

Tabyana Ali

On General Hospital, as Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) has launched a music career alongside Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), it was recently revealed that she actually has what seems like an “obsessed” stalker! How do we know? Well, there is a collage of the young woman that said person is continuing to add more photos to as the weeks and months roll on.

There have been several obvious suspects in the way GH has presented the characters. Chief among them music executive, Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) who continually has made statements and has been shooting daggers at anyone getting in the way of his prized recording artist.

At the same time the stalking started, Kai’s friend and former college football teammate, Quinn (Jequan Jackson) showed back up who previously had a falling out with Trina. Might he be playing nice, but wants revenge on Trina?

KEPT IN THE DARK

Fast-forward and now General Hospital fans learned that two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Alley Mills is on her way back to the show as Heather Webber, who previously was known as”The Hook” killer at one point, and is the biological mother of Trina’s sworn enemy, Esme Prince (last played by Avery Pohl).

Esme perished went she went overboard with Trina’s boyfriend, Spencer Cassadine (last played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez) a few years ago into the steely waters below. Could Esme be the one obsessing over Trina, or could it be someone else completely?

In a brand new video interview out on Tuesday, September 29, Tabyana Ali visited You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel and weighed-in on who she thinks could be the culprit! However, Tabyana shared she actually has no idea who it actually will turn out to be.

“The crazy thing is that everybody knows who it is except for me! They’re keeping that secret from me,” revealed Ali. “They want me to be as oblivious as Trina.”

THOSE WHO WENT OVERBOARD AND PRESUMED DEAD

After looking over the potential suspects and with all the theories that have floated about, Tabyana had her top picks! “I would love for it to be Spencer. I would love for it to be Esme. Mostly because I also just want my friends back on set, too. I would love to just see them and hang out with them. I think it definitely could be one of those two,” speculated Ali.

“I think everybody thought it could have been Quinn, or could have been Simon. I think we were all pointing in that direction for a minute, but I thinks that’s too easy”, declares Tabyana. “I think they’re just trying to throw me off, and trying to make it seem like it’s one of them. Now, nobody told me one way or the other about them.”

As soaps go, it’s usually not the first string of suspects who turn out to be the actual person behind the stalking. Tabyana agreed, “If you just know writing in general, if you just know TV in general, if you know soaps in general, you know that’s a game. You know, they set up, set up, set up, and then they really show the reveal. So. I was like, ‘This is just the setup to the reveal, right?'”

As for it being Spencer, it may not because his motives are bad. Ali shared, “It could be Spencer trying to fight his way back to Trina, or Heather trying to get revenge for her dead daughter Esme, or Esme herself. Those are all good ones, I was also playing around with what if it’s Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober)? That would be kind of fun. Don’t know what his motive would be. I know he passed away. He’s dead because of Joss (Eden McCoy), but it’s like everybody comes back alive on soaps, so…”

FROM KAI WITH LOVE

Some fans theorized it could be Trina’s boyfriend, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) or one another option being that the real stalker takes him out. “I think that’s kind of happened to all of Trina’s boyfriends,” lamented Tabyana. “They’ve all kind of gone that way. So, hopefully it doesn’t happen that way. Would it be easier if Kai was the stalker? Okay, yeah, maybe. He’d go to jail for a couple months or whatever. Come on out and then what? He would had to have had a brain-eating amoeba that made him do it. Who knows?” (Laughs)

In the end, are Trina and Kai truly in love? Ali shared her viewpoint and gave a tease, “I think they have love for one another, but to love someone it does take gradual time. I think it’s getting to that point. I think with this music situation as well, it is really proving to Trina that Kai is willing to be there with her every step of the way.”

She continued, “He is supporting her 10 toes down, making sure that she has everything that she needs, to going to every live show. I think this portion of their lives will definitely guide them somewhere else. I think, an ‘I love you,’ might come just around the corner.”

You can check out the full conversation with Tabyana now on the Michael Fairman Channel below.

Then weigh-in, after hearing Tabyana’s thoughts on the matter, who do you think will be proven to be Trina’s stalker? Let us know via the comment section below.

Lulu and Charlotte

The Monday, September 28 episode featured emotional scenes for Lulu (Alexa Havins), Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Charlotte that set the stage for the previously reported exit of Bluesy Burke.

In story, Lulu and Valentin inform Charlotte they are sending her away to boarding school in Maine. The reason: she needs more structure, and more than her parents can give her. Charlotte’s recent actions to try to set up Drew (Cameron Mathison) to make it look like he was making advances to a teenage girl was the last straw for the teenager.

Charlotte, at first, was angered and begging her parents to not make her leave Port Charles. Valentin exits to give Lulu time alone to talk to their daughter.

MOTHER HAS SOME THINGS TO SAY

Now alone, Lulu tries to open her daughter’s eyes as to what could have happened to her if she went through with her plot to videotape Drew with her in his car! Charlotte explains her plan and how she had everything under control, but Lulu asks her what if Drew took advantage of her or hurt her? What if things went terribly wrong? She questions Charlotte, if she even thought about that?

Lulu tried to make Charlotte see that Drew could have sexually assaulted her. Eventually, Charlotte agrees to go to boarding school, as Lulu and Charlotte share a tear-filled goodbye. However, before she leaves town, Charlotte asks her mother to let her say goodbye to Danny (Asher Antonyzyn).

VALENTIN OPENS UP TO ANNA

Meanwhile, Valentin has gone to the Metro Court Gardens and runs into Anna (Finola Hughes). Valentin is distraught sharing he feels like a failure as a father and because of his choices what has become of his daughter. He is devastated. These were also well-played scenes between James Patrick Stuart and Finola Hughes. Anna assures Valentin that sending Charlotte to boarding school is not a bad idea at all.

DANNY IS HEARTBROKEN AND ANGERED

Towards the conclusion of the episode, Charlotte tells Danny she is being sent to Maine to boarding school by his parents. Danny tries to look on the bright side, that Maine is not that far away from New York, and at least she is not being sent overseas.

However, Danny becomes upset when Charlotte tells him that her parents knew what she was planning with Drew, because Rocco had told Carly (Laura Wright).

Danny is confused why Rocco would have ratted her out. Charlotte says to impress Scou (Kayden Brenna Tokarski). The two teens hug with Charlotte promising that she’d be back, and Danny telling her he would here for her once she returned to Port Charles.

So, what did you think of the scenes between Lulu, Valentin and Charlotte? Did Lulu raise good points to her daughter about Drew, to scare her enough to realize actions have consequences? Will you miss Bluesy Burke? Let us know via the comment section, but first take a look at the opening scenes featuring the trio that sets-up Charlotte’s farewell, for now, below.

By

Bluesy Burke

On the Monday, September 28 episode of General Hospital, Charlotte Cassadine was sent away from Port Charles to boarding school in Maine, thus ending the run, for now, of Bluesy Burke.

Burke’s tenure with the ABC soap and the future of Charlotte were left up in the air and a hot topic for many GH fans over this past weekend when her parents, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) agreed their daughter should get far away from Port Charles. Now we can confirm, while the character is being written of the canvas, that doesn’t mean we have seen the last of Bluesy.

In real-life, the young actress is going off to college and also out of state. General Hospital’s executive producer, Frank Valentini explained via a statement to Soap Opera Digest, “Bluesy is still a part of the General Hospital family, and we worked it out so that she will come back on her holidays and school breaks. We are incredibly proud of her as she begins this exciting new chapter and starts her college journey.”

BLUESY GOT THE STAMP OF APPROVAL FROM GH EP

GH fans first saw Bluesy take over the role of Charlotte Cassadine back in September of 2025. Prior to Burke, the role was played by Scarlett Fernandez from 2014-2025.

Bluesy shared with SOD, that she was able to work things out with Valentini and General Hospital so she could make returns while in college. “I love my job and I didn’t want to leave it,” expressed the actress. “But I spoke to Frank and just kind of laid it all out there and let him know what my situation was and he was in full support of me going to college. When I told him I was thinking of taking a gap year, he was like, ‘No, you have to go to college, that’s so important and we will be here for you.’”

COLLEGE VS. THE SOAP A DIFFICULT CHOICE

In the difficult choice of going off to college or continuing in her professional career acting on GH, Burke acknowledged that when she heard the door would be left open for her return, that it, “meant the world to me, and really made me feel better about making the decision.”

Burke also shared that on her final tape date before heading off to school, that Valentini was already asking her when her next availability, and window would be to come back to tape all-new episodes as Charlotte.

So, happy to know Bluesy is able to go off to college and return when she is able to during her school year and the holidays? Are you upset that Valentin and Lulu decided, in story, to send Charlotte away from Port Charles in the first place? What will become of Danny?
