GENERAL HOSPITAL: Felicia is Heartbroken Over Maxie’s Condition; Drew is Piling up the Enemies Who Want Him Gone

It’s astounding when you realize how far back and how connected and beloved the characters of Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Felicia Jones Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) truly are. It was very apparent on the Thursday, August 21st episode of General Hospital, as we, the viewers, see a mother grappling with memories of the BJ heart transplant storyline which saved her daughter’s life decades ago, while in the present trying to keep it together as Maxie lays in coma.

The story arc gave a chance for everyone in Maxie’s life to put aside old wounds, disputes, and reflect on their own behavior in this time of crisis. As the episode begins, Maxie is still in a coma after demos a new face mask cream on her face during Home & Heart and collapsing. After almost dying of heart failure, she was saved by Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), and nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and their ER team.

Meanwhile, Lulu (Alexa Havins) is finally having a reckoning. She realizes her behavior since she herself woke up out of a coma after four years has hurt the likes of Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), and so she goes about making amends to each of them. Brook Lynn feels bad as well, because she wanted to hang around at the hospital to be there for Maxie, but she left because of Lulu.

FOR OUR BEST FRIEND

Fast-forward Lulu calls Brook Lynn over to Maxie’s and says they need to put aside their differences and be there together for their best friend. Meanwhile, Cody (Josh Kelly) is down in the dumps as he speaks to Tracy (Jane Elliot) about seeing Maxie with tubes in her and in a coma, and Felicia in emotional distress over her daughter. He reflects on how he should have told the truth about Mac (John J. York) being his biological father sooner, because now he could lose his sister.

Later, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit and sees a shirtless Cody at the stables, and he is about to confess he’s not such a nice guy, and that he was paid to seduce her by Kristina. But, will he go through with that?

Back at the hospital, Obrecht comes to bring flowers for Maxie and Felicia asks her to stay, because she is also family. Remember, the late Nathan West (the now returning Nathan West in a mystery role) was Liesl’s son and married to Maxie, and the father to James.

DREW, WE ARE THROUGH

And there’s Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), who has the tables turned on him by Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), when he refuses to sign a court document that he witnessed Michael (Rory Gibson) hitting Drew in the face. In turn, Drew fires him, because Martin won’t help him from his despicable act against Stella Henry (Vernee Watson). Drew tells Martin he just lost his meal ticket to pay for the spousal support for all his ex-wives.

Drew threatens Michael, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and ADA Turner (Nazneen Contractor) and exits and heads to GH to find Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), to let her know that Michael punched him in the face and that Wiley told him that he misses his mother. Willow wants to do anything to get her kids back, she even seems to be hedging towards whatever plan Drew is coming up with to bring down Michael and get her kids. This is noticeable when Drew hugs her, but the look of uneasiness on her face and not hugging him back with feelings was apparent. Just then, Nina (Cynthia Watros) catches the moment through the door window.

So, sid the moments with Kristina Wagner make you reach for the hankies as a mother praying her child wakes up? Are you glad Lulu made some effort to make amends? With Curtis vowing to stop Drew at the end of the episode, is this the beginning of the end for Congressman Cain, and are we about to embark on an attempted murder mystery or the real thing?

Drew is #Dragon Chow by Labor Day.

Bet your soul on it!

Nice to see Felicia finally getting a chance to shine and not be just a “talk to”. It did harken back memories to the BJ heart transplant. If John York was in the episode, they could’ve used a flashback to the 90s. They also could’ve worked the scene in yesterday when Lucy told Felicia that it was BJ’s heart.

They did revisit the heart transplant when Storms first joined the show. That story fell flat because JFP’s treatment of KW, resulting in the misfortunate recast of Sandra Ferguson as Felicia.

Yes Michael, seeing Felicia go though what she’s going through with Maxie again is heartbreaking and knowing what Kristina Wagner has been through in her personal life makes it all more sad to see on air, I”m just curious to see how all this will play out out since we know Kirsten Storm said herself she’s done filming for the year, and with Ryan Paevey returning and if as Nathan? what is going on? also interesting to note how Maxie storyline is affecting so many characters on the show, so its riveting. And then there’s Drew, I have to say, I’m really enjoying Drew as a villain or I should say Cameron Mathison playing a villain, it just creates so much Drama daily with the list of enemies that keep being added to the list, I’m really enjoying it because its not boring this guy has me screaming at my screen, laughing too when he doesn’t get his way, and thats what makes it fun, we getting to see these back and forth like tennis match with all his rivals and its good soapy fun, I do not want this to go in the direction of someone killing off Drew, especially because it would be a waste of killing off a good villain and all the suspects on the show I don’t want any of the characters written off unless its a who tried to kill Drew storyline and the suspect ends up being Tai, because he did Trina wrong. haha,

I feel bad Kristina Wagner has to do these types of scenes after having lost her son. It can’t be easy. Bless her. She’s such a a pro. I love the Scorpios.

Finn Carr, Kayden Brenna Tokarski

Finn Carr, who delivered powerful performances on General Hospital, when Rocco shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and its aftermath, may be headed for his first on-screen love story on the ABC soap opera.

Ever since it was announced that the long-running daytime drama decided to age-up Scout Cain, and in a few recent scenes between Rocco and Scout, it’s clear these two share similar interests and like each other.

Scout is now played by Kayden Brenna Tokarski, who made her GH debut back on July 20 as the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).

In a newly-released virtual segment with ABC11 North Carolina’s GH virtual insider, Dearon Smith, both Finn Carr and Asher Antonyzyn talked about working on a soap opera, while finishing high school, and teasing what’s ahead for Danny and Rocco. While Finn and Asher couldn’t give too much away, Smith asked Finn Carr if there is something brewing between Scout and Rocco?

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ROCCO AND DANNY?

Carr responded, “That’s an interesting question. Kaden is great to work with, and I love working with her. There definitely is some great stuff coming up that people are going to want to watch. It’s good stuff and really fun.”

Apparently, Danny and Rocco will also find themselves once again in some trouble, but as Finn tells it looks like this time, Danny will take the brunt of it. “We get into a lot of trouble … well, Danny gets into a lot of trouble … but I do a lot though.” Very cryptic indeed!

You can check out the full conversation with Finn and Asher with ABC11 below.

Now, let us know, would you like to see Rocco have a girlfriend, and that it would be Scout? Do you think Finn and Kayden work well together on-screen? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

While there have been plenty of on-screen newcomers in recent weeks on General Hospital, no need to worry about one of its mainstays, with the news from Daytime Emmy winner, Laura Wright, herself. Wright who plays Carly Spencer on the ABC soap opera has revealed on X, that she just re-signed a new deal with the soap opera to remain in Port Charles.

Wright is the fourth actress to play Carly, following in the footsteps of the OG Carly, Sarah Brown, Tamara Brown, and Jennifer Bransford. In fact, Laura left her major role on Guiding Light as Cassie Layne Winslow to take over the role of Bobbie Spencer’s (the late Jackie Zeman) complex daughter in November of 2005. Now almost 21 years later, Laura has made Carly her own and has delivered memorable performance after memorable performance throughout her run.

When a fans commented on X, “Can I just say if you ever leave General Hospital as Carly I will stop watching the show. I honestly have loved you and think that you are the best person to play Carly,” Laura Wright jumped in to the thread and assured her and other GH fans, that she has no plans to go anywhere else.

LAURA WRIGHT STAYING PUT AT GENERAL HOSPITAL AND FANS ARE HAPPY SHE’S STICKING AROUND

Laura expressed, “I’m not going anywhere, just signed a new contract!!!” Since she made her public statement, many GH fans were thrilled with the news with comments such as: I would’ve been devastated if you weren’t sticking around. You’ve truly made Carly your own after so many years, ” and Happy to hear this, I always enjoy #GH more when Carly is on,” plus “So glad you’re sticking around as Carly. Love Carly and can’t wait for more #Caradine and #Jarly”

One fans hopes Laura will be on for years to come a la Jane Elliot’s tenure as Tracy Quartermaine saying, “Awesome. It’s so fun getting to see the full life of a character. Hope you stick around for many more years. I think Carly will be a hoot in her Tracy Quartermaine era.”

Laura Wright’s road to General Hospital started back on ABC’s Loving when she first played  Allison “Ally” Rescott on Loving (1991 to 1995) and then its spinoff The City (1995 to 1997). She later joined Guiding Light as Cassie, who was revealed to be the sister of Reva Shayne played by Kim Zimmer. She played the part from 1997-2005. From then on its been all GH scoring a Lead Actress Daytime Emmy win in 2011, along with eight total nominations throughout her daytime career.

Currently, Carly is involved in a romance with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), but it’s on shaky ground with Anna Devane back in the picture not so happy to see the two canoodling, and Carly having been warned by Sonny that Valentin is not trustworthy.

However, after seeing Laura’s post that she has signed on to stay at GH, James Patrick Stuart commented on X  reacted by stating, “Phew!”

So, happy to hear Laura has re-signed with General Hospital and will continue her role as Carly Spencer? Let us know via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Willow Feels The Effects of Jacinda’s Drugs; Josslyn Find Out She’s CEO of Jasper Jacks Enterprises

Willow

On the Friday, August 7, episode of General Hospital, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) unknowingly has put her children Amelia and Wiley in danger, Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ava (Maura West) appear to be in collusion against Sonny, and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) get off to a rocky start (which as you know in soaps could be a love match down the line!).

Here’s what went down as most of the action took place at the Metro Court pool area: First, Josslyn meets with Hudson, who reveals himself to be none other than the VP of Operations for JJE (Jasper Jacks Enterprises). Hudson tells Josslyn he was sent to Port Charles from Australia, while her dad was sailing around the world as he had named her the new CEO of his company.

Josslyn immediately puts her foot down and tells Hudson she is not accepting the position. He asks, why? She informs him that she works as a WSB agent. Hudson seems stunned and his interest is piqued.

HUDSON DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF JOSSLYN

In turn, they get into a tiff, where Hudson is annoyed that he flew all the way around the world and wasted his time. Meanwhile, Josslyn is annoyed that her father didn’t even bother to ask her if she wanted to run the company. In the end, Josslyn tells Hudson to get her a list of qualified candidates, one of which she can sign the company over to.  She then storms off.

However, Hudson spots Ava Jerome, whom he knows was speaking with Ethan in Norway, and who knows about Ethan’s involvement with baby Phoebe. Ava is busy talking with Drew on how they mutual disdain of Sonny, and it should be the driving force for them to work together to take him down. Ava wants no more threats over her head of having Avery taken away from her by her father. Drew is all ears!

Michael (Rory Gibson) meets up at the pool with Jacinda. She shows him the restraining order that Willow got from the courts against her to stay away from the children. Michael promises to get his lawyers to fight it.

However, Michael knows something is up when Jacinda said, “Willow is about to make a public mistake,” hoping that pills she put in Willow’s iced coffee have begun to spin the congresswoman out of control. Michael demanded to know what Jacinda had done to Willow.

WILLOW’S ABOUT TO GO FOR A DANGEROUS DRIVE

Elsewhere at Nina’s, Willow got a surprise when Amelia and Wiley showed up. Now, she will have them for the afternoon and decides they are going to have fun day. After a slight scare when Wiley picked up her iced coffee, Willow told her son to put down the drink because it has caffeine in it. However, then Willow began to drink it herself unaware that Jacinda spiked it with drugs.

In the final moments of the episode, Willow’s behavior changes as she is now over-excited about taking the kids to the arcade. A drugged Willow grabs her car keys, and she and Amelia and Wiley head out to the car. We fade to black.

So, did you feel on-screen chemistry between Hudson and Josslyn? Do you like Drew and Ava teaming up? Do you think Willow gets into a car accident with Amelia and Wiley in the car, which in turn, will kick Jacinda to the curb with Michael? Share your thoughts on what happens next and more in the comment section below. But first for some clues, take a look at the General Hospital preview that aired for Monday’s August 10th episode during the closing of today’s GH.
