GENERAL HOSPITAL: Emma Wants to Save Anna, Isaiah’s Career is All But Destroyed, Joe Makes an Arrest

The Monday, May 18 episode of General Hospital brought with it a startling discovery, a new reality for one surgeon, a new cop on the scene, and a granddaughter determined to protect her grandmother.
First, Laura (Genie Francis) tells Mac (John J. York) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) that Anna (Finola Hughes) is in worse trouble than she was previously after she had Kevin to check on her while he was in Europe. They head out to update Emma (Braedyn Bruner) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner).
Meanwhile, Emma gets upset over Anna during a discussion with Felicia and breaks Anna’s favorite coffee cup. Emma is overcome with sadness and cries, trying to figure out how she is supposed to be so happy with Gio (Giovanni Mazza), while Anna is locked away somewhere against her own will.

BAD NEWS FOR EMMA
Laura and Mac arrive to talk with Emma and Felicia, and reveal how Anna escaped and made it to the border, but she was now in the custody of the French authorities and they are transferring her to a long term mental illness facility, which freaks out Emma just as Gio arrives. Emma runs into his arms. Laura says at this point, Anna needs a strong advocate and she will make a call on her behalf. (But to who?)
At the Metro Court pool, Curtis (Donnell Turner) is arrested by Detective Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) after throwing a punch at Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson). Joe takes Curtis to the station where Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) tells Fitzgerald to remove Curtis’ handcuffs. Now inside the interrogation room, Curtis explains that he believes Isaiah left he and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) dead at the side of the road the night of the accident and provoked him.
BROKEN HAND, BROKEN MAN
Curtis just wants to put it all behind him and says he will pay for Isaiah’s medical bills, but Dante informs him, he is trouble and he needs to call a lawyer. So, he calls Jordan. Meanwhile, Isaiah gets looked at while at General Hospital, and his hand is messed up. He comes to learn he will need multiple surgeries not only for broken bones but two tendons were severed in the process. Isaiah realizes his surgical days are numbered possibility forever, if not for a very long time.
JOSSLYN FINDS ANNA’S MESSAGE
While being held hostage, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) tries again to convince Cassius (Ryan Paevey) to set her free. That leads into the two playing cards and Cassius asking Josslyn how she got into the WSB. Josslyn admits her boyfriend was murdered and she killed the person who was the culprit for retribution. She says she put together all the pieces that he did the crime, and now this line of work gives her purpose.
In the shocking final moments, after Cassius leaves for the night, Josslyn heads to the cot in the other part of the holding room and sees a hand-carved message on the wall from Anna that she was there and help captive on October 31, 2025. We fade to black.
So what did you think of the concern Emma showed for Anna, and the performance of Braedyn Bruner? What are your very initial impressions of Jonathan Bennett as Joe Fitzgerald? Which character is annoying you more in the story … Curtis, Jordan, Portia or Isaiah? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Braedyn Bruner was fantastic. My heart broke for Emma. I just hope that dhe can get Anna back home safely and soon.
I don’t like what they’ve done to Curtis’ character this year. The writers will have their work cut out for them if they try to write a redemption arc for Curtis. I know Isaiah shouldn’t have said what he said, but it doesn’t excuse what Curtis did. Curtis is unhinged.
When it comes to gh copying yr with Isaiah not being able to possibly be a surgeon even with gh having Nigel Campbell as a black writer on the show I felt a career change was coming for Isaiah before Portia had the baby Currently because the writers also wanted to have courthouse drama with Isaiah and Curtis characters currently
Braedyn continues to shine when given good material. Emma should be the lead female of the early 20s group.
Sawandi has a wide range and shows emotion in subtle, but noticeable ways. I care about Isaiah, who’s been in town less than two years, than I do about Curtis, who’s been in PC for 11.
As for Bennett’s performance, my initial reaction isn’t that great. Maybe it was first day jitters. Let’s check back in a few weeks before a casting a final decision.
She’s so good that she managed to make viewers realize how much they have missed Anna so a lot of cried along with her ( not me, of course!) Oh but that broken mug with the British flag on it that little Emma made for Grandma Anna got to me. I agree about Sawandi as Isaiah. He has an intensity and range that Donell just lacks. I think Bennett is just trying to find his sea legs. I haven’t counted him out yet. I learned my lesson after being too critical of Giovanni( Gio) who has turned out to be an amazing actor.
Poor Isaiah! I hope his hand is ok!
Joe is so cuddly!
Oy vey.
This sounds like the end of Isaiah’s surgical career. That is very said news since he is an international trauma surgeon. Which character annoys me most in this story? First and foremost Portia. Her bad judgement and lies set this freight train in motion. Curtis is next. He has absolutely no evidence linking Isaiah, a trauma surgeon, to leaving the scene of the accident. Curtis is just pissed that Portia did the horizontal mambo with Isaiah while she was still married to him. Get over it.
Detective Fitzgerald looks interesting. He looks like a no nonsense cop who doesn’t appreciate people who expect special treatment, ie Curtis.
How in Hell’s name does somebody break their hand in 11 places from a 20 second fight? These writers are really stretching with this one. As well as with Curtis’s over the top jealousy.
Curtis WAS one of the very few creations of the Valentini regime that was worth keeping around. But not so much lately. Seems like the current writers are going out of their way to throw him under the bus.
I agree that Curtis was once written well but he’s never been played well. DT has never managed to met the good writing afforded to his character and if he can’t meet good writing half way, how is he supposed to rise above bad writing? Since day one, Turner has been wooden, one note and marches around with his hands on his hips striking a pose. He has the good looks of a leading man but not the talent to make it work.
yeah Jonathan Bennett as Detective Joe Fitzpatrick didn’t make the cut in my book. His voice sounded manufactured and not authentic. If the character is gay, I hope he’s not paired up with Lucas. And, if the character is indeed gay, gosh, I wish we could have kept Adrian on as Marco. I’m not impressed with the Jonathan first episode. I rarely ever have such a gut feeling with a newbie like this. Maybe, the character is short-term, then okay, maybe… but I hope he’s not on contract, he bugs me the way in which the actor who paid Nathan now Cassius, and how his acting bugs them. Yeah, he’s wooden and his voice sounds off, too. Jonathan came across very wooden and dull, and the manufactured voice was weird.
Agreed
I agree that newbie cop did not make a good first impression. Seems like a carbon copy of all the things that makes Chase a bad cop.
Now get your own name, for Hell’s sake.
I mean, it just seems so unnecessary.
I’m an atheist, but I prefer the original Satan.
It will be Robin, I hope. Would be great to see Kimberly again.
I didn’t think I would like the pairing of Cassius with Josslyn, but they have chemistry. I know there’s a big age difference between the two characters, Paevey is like twice McCoy’s age…..but I like their interactions…as much as Kelly Thiebaud’s scenes with Finn Carr. I enjoy things I didn’t expect I would like, when they play out like this.
They’re both good actors, so I’m not surprised by the chemistry. However, I liked Joss with Vaughn and I would like to see him return. Perhaps it’s wishful thinking on my part. I would hope the writers have seen the fans’ comments about Vaughn resembling young Frisco. It would be nice if they wrote something in that direction.
Well, I’d like go see Joss with Dex, and would like to see him return .
I wholeheartedly agree! Those two had like magnetic chemistry….you could almost feel it yourself. One of the worst decisions the writers made was killing Dex off!
100% agree. Those two had magnetic chemistry…you saw it and you could almost feel it off screen. The writers decision to kill him off was one of the biggest mistakes that they made.
If we gave out superlatives at mid-year, the Curtis/Portia/Jordan/Isaiah storyline would hands-down be the worst. The audience could see Jordan took her eyes off the road to kiss Curtis. How are we supposed to be invested in a storyline with unhinged Curtis being obsessed with blaming Isaiah. I can’t wait to see him eat crow when he discovers it might have been BLQ or Charlotte. Please make this storyline go away and let’s pretend it never happened.
Emma had me crying right along with her, We both want Anna back and Braedyn Briner is a true talented fine. Jonathan Bennett I don’t know yet, to soon, I wasn’t impress but I’ll wait and see. as for which character is the most annoying, theres no competition here, its totally Curtis, how ridiculous went he yelled across the restaurant for Isaiah to his hand off his child, It was creepy and cringy,
Braedyn Bruner was fantastic in her scenes. Joe Fitzpatrick wasn’t written or performed very well, but we shall see if that improves. I wish this car crash ended as quickly as the murder mystery of Austin Gatlin Holt.
I can’t stand Jordan or Curtis, those two have it out for Portia and Isaiah like for real , they’ve turned Curtis into a thug and Jordan a damsel in distress.

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

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’

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?

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.
