GENERAL HOSPITAL: Danny to Alexis on the Anniversary of Sam’s Death: “When My Mom Went Into Surgery The One Thing She Asked Me to Do Was Look After Scout”
General Hospital remembered the death of Sam McCall, played by longtime fan favorite, Kelly Monaco for over 21 years, on the November 5 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
Viewers know that Sam died by a lethal dose of digitalis given to her by Cyrus Renault, after she had just went through surgery; donating her liver to save Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) back on October 30, 2024.
Now it’s Halloween 2025 in Port Charles, and Scout (Cosette Abinante) is missing her mother on the one-year anniversary of her death, as she sits with Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Kristina (Kate Mansi) at the Davis house. While carving pumpkins, Scout admits her father, Drew never talks about her mom, but Kristina says they love to talk about their beloved sister, and would share stories with Scout anytime she wants to hear them.

Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) shows up a the law office of Miller/Davis to see Alexis. He tells his grandmother that Halloween is a reminder of when he lost his mom. An emotional Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), tells Danny not to hide his grief and she knows he misses Sam. Alexis also knows that Drew has her over a barrel and won’t allow her to let Danny see his sister, Scout, or she and the rest of the family won’t see the little girl at anytime, either!
Trying to be strong, Danny tells Alexis he is doing his best with the loss of his mom, but that they need to focus on Scout, who’s dealing with this loss alone. Upset, Danny says, “When my mom went into surgery the one thing she asked me to do was look after Scout,” and I can’t do it. He blames himself for not holding up his promise to Sam. Alexis shares that all Drew sees is Jason (Steve Burton) when he looks at Danny. None of this is his fault.
In a very touching moment, Danny says he misses Sam and he can’t believe it’s been a year, already since she passed. In tears, Alexis says Sam lives on in both Danny and Scout. Next, Jason stops by to pick up Danny. Before Dany leaves, he hands Alexis a bag of candy for Scout, which were Sam’s favorites. When Alexis returns home, she gives the candy to Scout, and the Davis women toast to Sam with the candy, saying “To Sam,” as they all fall in for a group hug.

Meanwhile, after Anna (Finola Hughes) shares her fears that Faison is alive to Jason, he says he shot Faison and her longtime tormentor most certainly died. Jason wonders if that’s what Sidwell and whoever he’s working with want, is to make her think that, to play mind games with her, and get her out of the way of their masterplan.
Later, while getting into her car, Anna leaves a message for Jack, when suddenly someone is the backseat chloroforms her. When she wakes up handcuffed to a chair in a deserted room, Faison’s voice is pumped into the loud speaker, freaking Anna out. We fade to black.
Did GH to justice to the memory of Sam, by how they remembered her death last year at this time? Is Faison going to turn out to be alive, or is this all a fake out? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first, take a look at a few of the moments where Sam is remembered by her sisters.
Now I am wondering…where was Danny the night Drew was shot ?
Nah, it couldn’t be Danny. Everybody’s always saying how much he’s like his father. So if Danny shot somebody, he would have been successful, right?
Not sure they’d go that dark – having a teenager shoot his uncle…
Willow is not out of the clear (although I’ve been enjoying a break from the character while she stews in Pentonville).
Did Martin have an alibi for that night? His dark side is emerging and he’s bumbling enough not to finish the job.
Would be a stretch, but don’t rule out Marco if the writers really want him out.
I definitely think it’s Willow. Whether she remembers doing it or not. And even though you had a number of people who were alone in Elizabeth’s house long enough to plant a gun there (Mikey, Carly, and Portia. Possibly others?) it’s just as likely that WIllow herself hid the gun there, after shooting Drew in some sort of “alternative” mental state. We know for a fact that she’s the one who was stalking Sasha and baby Daisy, but she seems to have no conscious memories of doing so. From there it’s not much of a stretch to think she could have shot Drew and also blacked that out.
Only you would hope a nurse would have had a better idea of where to aim for better results.
Pascal showing up as Sidwell’s new butler is interesting… how long to Josslyn bumps into him?
Loved the wrap up of Ronnie’s visit. Tracy was her best, and love the relationship Gio has with Ronnie.
Hope Erika does make a return as Ronnie.
I did not have Pascal turning up in PC as the “familiar face” mentioned in this week’s previews. Really thought that was going to be Brad.
Yes, the Ronnie-Gio connection was well done. Hopefully, we’ll see Ronnie again for a few weeks later in 2026.
Plot point, but why wouldn’t Britt go to Terry, someone she has an amicable relationship with, to support her getting her license back?
I think Terry is a great character and I do enjoy when she is on. Cassandra James is wonderful and hope GH will feature her more.
After Fridays show, I feel some sort of doom coming for both Lucus and Marco, which would make me wonder if ABC is concerned about featuring some actors / characters.
Let’s hope not ! Frankly, I would jump and down with joy if Marco asked me to live with him !
So sick of who shot Drew. Been dragged out so long, I don’t care. Making the new DA look like an idiot, ridiculous !! Didn’t send a CSI unit for fingerprint proof. Kids being treated so terribly is making me sick. First Scout’s abuse and now Rocco. These writers need therapy!!!

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, after Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) chloroformed Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), she winds up thrown into the secret room at Wydemere with Josslyn Jacks. Now, both Obrecht and Joss are under the thumb of Cullum and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) for different reasons.
However, what will Cassius (Ryan Paevey) think of the news that his mother is being forced to finish Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) work on Faison’s final project? Cassius gets very alarmed when Sidwell informs him in the Monday, June 8 “Next on General Hospital” video teaser, that, “Locating Britt is no longer a priority.”
Meanwhile, Portia’s (Brook Kerr) baby shower is here, which could wind up in an all out war between Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner). While Curtis is lawyering up with someone, Portia wants Isaiah to “just hold off for now.” Is she referring to him suing Curtis for destroying his ability to operate after injury his hand, or to stay away from the baby shower?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum Kidnaps Obrecht as Britt’s Replacement to Finish Faison’s Final Project
WSB director Ross Cullum is truly as despicable villain as they come, and played with steely intensity by Andrew Hawkes. For the double agents latest crime, you need to look no further than the Friday, June 5 cliffhanger of General Hospital, where in the episode’s final moments he sneaks up on an unassuming Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) after hiding in the back seat of her car.
Next, he chloroforms her with his intent clear. He plans on forcing her to finish the last leg of Faison’s final project at Wyndemere, since her daughter Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) left town with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in tow to get away from Cullum!
In what led to the kidnapping, Cullum had a terse conversation with his business associate and co-conspirator on the project, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). It is Sidwell who is preoccupied with wanting to bring Marco’s killer to justice (not knowing it’s the man right in front of him!). Sidwell told Cullum if bringing Marco’s killer to justice wasn’t a priority for the WSB director, then why should protecting Cullum be a priority for him?
SIDWELL VS. CULLUM
The two finally put aside their differences as they have to complete Faison’s final project for it will be highly lucrative for them, useful for their mutual gains, and groundbreaking. In order to do that they need a great mind with a scientific background to finish it up and get them to the finish line since Britt as disappeared.
Later, outside of “General Hospital,” Obrecht is headed back to her car after searching Britt’s office for any clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. But when she got in the car to drive away, that’s when the aforementioned Cullum strikes!

BROOK LYNN GETS ADVICE FROM A FORMER ADULTERESS
In other key developments, after Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) keeps inserting herself into Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) life, all with the seeming pretense to pay back Chase for helping her clear her name at the trial, and standing by her, she brings good news in person about baby Phoebe’s adoption to Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) law office to Chase. Once Brook Lynn heard Chase was on her away over with paperwork, she decided to hightail it out of there for an “emergency” appointment for Deception.
As we come to find out, Brook Lynn meets up with Lucy (Lynn Herring) at the Metro Court pool, She then proceeds to inform Lucy about Willow sniffing around he husband. Lucy says she knows a thing or two about being an adulteress. Brook Lynn wants Lucy to help her send a clear message to Willow to stay away from her husband, or else!
Now below, check out the scenes before Obrecht was kidnapped where she visited Willow, Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) and suspects Willow is up to no good.
Then let us know, with Lucy taking Brook Lynn under her wing, what plot do you think the two will come up with against Willow? What do you think will happen to Obrecht?
