The Monday, March 23 episode of General Hospital did not disappoint as it moved storylines to its apex, and clearly delineating who is the baddest man in Port Charles of them all! Yup! WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

In story, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) was stabbed by Cullum in the law office of Miller & Davis and left there, bleeding out on the floor and at that point, still alive. Next, Cullum sees the message from Lucas (Van Hansis) that he’s meeting Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at the pier.

Lucas goes to Britt, and their scenes showed the very human side of their once contentious and thawed relationship played to perfection by Kelly Thiebaud and Van Hansis. Meanwhile, Jason (Steve Burton) had to escape an arrest warrant by the WSB in front of his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), by head-butting Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) to get away and Rocco (Finn Carr) showed up on the pier hiding in the shadows, listening to every shady thing that is going down against the woman who gave birth to him, Britt!

CULLUM TURNS EVEN MORE DEADLY

In addition, Brennan (Chris McKenna) seems like the first person to call out Nathan (Ryan Paevey), for potentially not being the real Nathan and what his purpose is for showing back up in Port Charles 7 years after he supposedly died. The two share a war of words, while Brennan is looking for Britt and searching her room at Bobbie’s. Brennan wonders if Nathan is just clueless and lost 7 years of his life, or if he is working on the inside and knows much more about the Cullum/Sidwell exploits then he is letting on.

After Jason gets away from Dante, the acting police commissioner puts on an APB on him, and Danny gets upset that Jason doesn’t have his gun to protect himself, because he surrendered the weapon to Dante.

Back at the pier, Britt is so grateful to Lucas and Marco for getting her the vials of medication to save her life. She admits she is leaving town tonight with Jason which Rocco overhears. Britt pleads with Lucas to not go back to Wyndemere as it will quickly be discovered that the two vials of he medication were stolen. She also tells Lucas to watch his back.

MARTIN TELLS LAURA HE’S LEAVING PORT CHARLES

In the mayor’s office, Martin (Michael E. Knight) informs his sister Laura (Genie Francis) that he’s leaving Port Charles for a case in Reno but then worries he’s leaving Laura to have to deal with Tracy (Jane Elliot). Laura reassures him all will be OK. After Martin exits, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) shows up and tells Laura that Martin’s leaving was all his doing since he was getting his nose in business he shouldn’t have. Sidwell remains threatening to Laura when he brings up Kevin and Ace. Laura asks how he’d react if his son Marco was threatened, but he still remains threatening to the mayor to do his bidding, or else!?

After Lucas has left, Cullum shows up on the pier. He demands Britt give him the medication vials and pulls out a gun. Rocco is hiding/watching the whole thing. Sadly, Britt hands the vials to Cullum and he stomps all over them and she begins to cry. Cullum says she has two choices. She either returns to Wyndemere to finish the prototype where she will be locked up, or he’ll arrest her as the director of the WSB.

JASON AND CULLUM SHOWDOWN TAKES SURPRISING TURN

A fight breaks out, between Cullum and Britt. She goes flying and hits her head on a crate and is knocked out. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Jason shows up and jumps Cullum before he has the chance to shoot at Britt. As Jason and Cullum have a knock down drag out fight, Cullum’s gun does down, but Cullum pulls out a weapon that resembles a long baton and is about to strike Jason dead with it, when Rocco picks up the gun and shoots Cullum in the back. Jason is stunned and so too is Rocco!

Then, in the GH preview for tomorrow’s March 24 episode below, someone is rushed into surgery (we think it’s Cullum) and Alexis stumbles upon something in her office, we assume it’s Marco!

So, what did you think of today’s dark episode of General Hospital? What did you think of Rocco shooting Cullum, which will set up a whole set of problems with his father, Dante? With Steve Burton leaving GH for his hiatus, how will Jason exit the show? And what of Marco? Imagine the heartbreak for Lucas if he is pronounced dead! Let us know your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.

THIS is what a soap opera is supposed to be!! So glad I’m watching GH again! Today’s show was amazing!!! I was on the edge of my seat.

I agree, GH is the best soap out there ☆☆☆☆☆

I loved the twist and turns in this episode. Glad cullum got shot. Hate marco got stab but the story line was very exciting. Loved all the action. Love you general hospital. Keep up the good work.

You wouldn’t expect Luke Spencer and Sonny Corinthos’ grandson (who was carried to term by the daughter of Cesar Faison) to have a normal life.

Looking forward to seeing the twists this carries for each of the characters.

Kudos to Hawkes, who plays a very convincing bad guy. Much more ominous than Rota.

Great episode today. But Britt needs to get her medication and her Jason need to leave Port Charles. Marco needs to live. Jason needs to tell Dante the whole story about Sidwell shooting the professor and is blackmailing Laura for doing it.

I think cellular should die and sidwell should leave laura alone as he needs to grieve.his own son and all this wsb stuff should come to head and valintene be freed from his nightmare but who knows.

Sadly, Sidwell will probably suspect Laura and Sonny. Since Laura had mentioned Marco in their last meeting.

Sounds like it was great. Unfortunately the SPECIAL REPORT ABOUT THE PLANE CRASH AT LA GUARDIA HAD TO COME ON AT THE SAME TIME AS GH. TG WAS JUST ABLE TO CATCH.IT ON MY PHONE TO CATCH UP.

I Loved the Story today,,, hopefully Marco lives a minute to talk to his Loved ones.. Jason will quickly give Rocco a lesson on keeping his mouth shut. Cullen Lives.. Sidwell????

Hopefully collum dies and sidwell realizes they are closing in on him

I want culumn to be dead Marco survived Brit to get access to her medicine and creat medicine by her self. Sidwell to be dragged and dead.

I WISH ALL THE BAD GUYS GET OUT OF PORT CHARLES, SO SORRY IT HAD TO ROCCO TO PULL THE TRIGGER, , FEELING THE FALL OUT WILL AFFECT ROCCO

But if all the bad guys left Port Charles, there would be no stories.

How boring would that be!
In real life it would be bliss, but a daytime drama needs….. wait for it…… DRAMA!

I’ve never understood the soap “fans” who want everybody happy…

WOW, what an episode. Makes Y&R look as exciting as Sponge Bob

Ain’t that the truth!

And Y&R has more holes in their stories than Sponge Bob has in his body.

Your so predictable. You have done this so many times. Killing off Jason is sick. This time he’s alive. He needs a vacation we all do and you need to hire writers that care about the show more than thier paycheck it shows. By the way iam 72 years old and have watch GH every day since I can remember.

Denise, I’m confused. To whom are you speaking ?

I LOVE my General Hospital!! I’ve been a fan for over 30 years!! Since Luke & Laura! ❤️ My family & friends know don’t call me between 2pm-3pm!! The actors, the writers, the storylines are truly amazing!!

I hope Marco makes it.

Me too. Tired of all the good guys dying too soon while the bad guys keep living while making everyone’s lives miserable. And yes, I’m incorporating real life into my escapism.

I would also be confused why Adrian was signed to a contract role only to have Marco exit so soon. I would be very sad and feel robbed of see Lucus in a happy relationship.

If Marco does die…I feel I will have a sadness that Conor feels over Dex’s untimely death.

Don’t be getting all Conor on us, lol.

Being on his first soap contract, Adrian certainly had 13-week cycles where the show could cancel the rest of the contract. He’s been on for a year now. The decision to have the character depart likely happened prior to the photo shoot last September.

While there was a lot of potential at first for Marco and Lucas, this apparent ending is what classifies as “storyline dictated”.

I was cooking while watching and almost burned my squash! Everything was moving at a hundred miles an hour ! It was great!!

I don’t like the way the show is going now.

Please be more specific. Tell us why.

Well now we have a good exit strategy for Jason while keeping Britt on the canvas. Jason leaves as a hero, and will be released from prison when it is found out that Collum is the villain and Rocco was merely saving Jason’s life. Well done.

Let Marco live.

Won’t police forensics see the crushed medicine vials on the dock? And find the baton knife?
It should have Marco’s blood on in it leading to Cullum as a suspect, not Jason.

Wish they would have done a temporary recast for Burton !! Trevor St John would have been amazing!!!!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

Published

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.

In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.

Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.

Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?

In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.

ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION

Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy  and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.

Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.

ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA

In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.

It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.

So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first check out the scenes featuring Anna on her road to recovery in France

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Drops First Single EDM/Dance Track ‘If You Need Me’

Published

on

By

Last weekend, we shared the news that General Hospital alum and Daytime Emmy winner, Chad Duell (ex-Michael Corinthos) was releasing his first single today on June 26th and it has indeed dropped! And for those readers who guessed that Duell’s first track out of the gate was going to be an EDM/Dance/House track … you are correct, sir!

The song entitled, “If You Need Me” is perfect for the late night clubs and can be found on Spotify and other major streaming platforms! Duell is noted as the performing artist, but as the composer/ lyricist and the beatmaker of the track. For his music projects, Chad is going solely by the name of “Duelly” which has been his social media handle for years.

Taking to his Instagram on Friday, Duell explained his deep dive into making music, expressing, “I’ve wanted to make music for a long time… I just never did it. It always felt like this huge, overwhelming thing to learn. All the technical side of it, the programs, everything that goes into actually building a track… it was easy to keep pushing it off.  A couple months ago I finally just decided to go for it.”

BIT BY BIT PUTTING IT TOGETHER

Chad added, “Since then I’ve been putting in a lot of time learning, experimenting, figuring things out, and slowly starting to find a sound I’m really proud of. This first release is more of a dance/EDM vibe, but I’ve also been working on a lot of different styles behind the scenes that I’m just as excited about. At some point I realized I could keep holding onto everything trying to make it perfect… or I could just start putting music out and grow as I go.”

Stepping out of his own way, Duell firmly says, “So that’s what I’m doing.  My first track “If You Need Me” is out now. More coming soon… this is just the beginning.”

As GH viewers know, Chad made the decision to step away from General Hospital after a 15-year run with the series where his last episode aired in January of 2025. By May of last year, the role was recast with Rory Gibson debuting in the part.

Give a listen below to Duelly’s “If You Need Me,” and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Did You Think of the Return of Anna Devane, and What’s In the Letter?

Published

Finola Hughes made her dramatic return on-screen on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of General Hospital. Viewers will see Finola as Anna Devane again on tomorrow’s June 26th episode.

In the story, while in the French mental health facility, Anna has a session with Dr. Laurent. She tell her she now knows she was never kidnapped and that Cesar Faison is dead.

As she continued with her ruse, she went on to say she understands she was enlisted back into the WSB on a secret mission, and through that she relived all the trauma she endured by Faison, which caused her to have a psychotic break. Anna promises Dr. Laurent that her treatment plan had helped her so much in figuring out what was real, and what was in her imagination.

ANNA’S GOT HER OWN PLAN TO ESCAPE

In a smart move (hopefully) Anna told Laurent if she could talk to someone else who had known Faison that it might aid in her recover. She was given the phone and she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), who agreed to fly to France in the morning. Dr. Laurent claims she is pleased with Anna’s progress, but that they still have a very long long way to go.

Now by herself, Anna pulled out a packet of letters from a bedside table. There is one in particular that she is fixated on. What does it contain? Is this all a part of her escape plan? Will she warn Felicia that “Nathan” is really Cassius (Ryan Paevey)? If so, will Felicia even believe her?

In a summer preview with Soap Opera Digest, GH co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten shared, “We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”

So, were you happy to see Anna Devane back on your screens? What do you think is in the particular letter she was staring at? Will Felicia help Anna escape or not believe a word she says? Weigh-in via the comment section.  But first, you can check out some of the scenes from Anna’s on-screen return below.
