GENERAL HOSPITAL: Gregory’s Loved Ones Gather to Say Goodbye
On the Wednesday, June 7th episode of General Hospital, it was time for Gregory Chase’s (Gregory Harrison) memorial, which as Gregory wanted would be having his ashes spread with his loved ones in attendance.
The memorial service was held at the park bench in which he used to sit and read to Violet (Jophielle Love), which now has a plaque with his name imprinted on it.
Chase (Josh Swickard) was put in charge of the gathering, by his late father. In very well-written scenes, each of the man’s loved ones and friends extolled words of wisdom they learned from him that will forever remain with them and in their hearts.

Finn (Michael Easton) shares how much his dad, who was suffering from ALS, loved this spot and that when the climb up the hill became too much, he insisted he could make it on his own. Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) speaks to what a good man that Gregory was. Violet reads a poem.
Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) opens up about how ALS is a devastating disease that takes resolve to handle, and Gregory had a lot of resolve. He made her aware of the limitations she put on her own life. She admits Gregory got her to jump out of a plane with him and that the two passionately kissed, which surprised everyone in attendance.

Tracy (Jane Elliot) talks with sadness about Gregory being a missed opportunity, and if she had known him sooner, longer and better, who knows what might have been. In the moral to her time with Gregory, Tracy expressed, “If an opportunity doesn’t present itself, make one. Contrary to conventional wisdom, you can miss what you didn’t have.”

Chase spoke last and says his dad taught him to find something remarkable in every person you meet. Next, Chase begins to scatter Gregory’s ashes around the tree, and then hands the container to Finn, so he can spread the last part of the ashes.

Afterwards, Tracy hosts a reception at the Metro Court. She and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) share a shot for Gregory. Alexis tells Finn, she is heading to an AA meeting, but first they discuss the kiss with his dad. Elizabeth and her boys make their exit, and then Chase goes looking for Finn and finds him at the bar. What he sees upsets him, as Finn is knocking back shots one after the other.
What did you think about Gregory’s memorial service? Did you reach for the hankies? What do you think will happen next to Finn now that he is continuing to drink? Comment below.
Gregory’s last night alive couldn’t have been written more beautifully. Finn and Gregory had the best father and son conversation one could hope for. There was apologies, forgiveness, praise, love and closure. Gregory’s death itself couldn’t have been more peaceful and he was spared more physical pain. Gregory’s dying in his sleep was a gift. Gregory’s last conversation with Finn was a gift. Then the writers lazily decide to let Finn act as though none of that happened and send him down this over-used relapse story. It doesn’t track. Bad decision on their part.
I’m surprised the fans didn’t see this coming. The writers have been foreshadowing Finn’s fall off the wagon for weeks prior to Gregory’s death. Finn was desperate to go to meetings each time Gregory’s illness progressed or when Gregory didn’t want Finn involved with his doctor appointments. It was clear they would go in this direction.
While Gregory did forgive Finn for his affair with Jackie, he may still guilty. He told Chase as much when he told him he drank.
As a Nurse, I have taken care of ALS patients. It is a terrible disease, & the mind stays in tact while muscles deteriorate. The worse case was with a young Mother, finding out after her 3rd baby, that she had it. I did private duty in her home, and she was on a ventilator, because she couldn’t breathe on her own. Very sad. Gregory died a very peaceful death, it’s usually not that nice. I liked him, he was one of the good guys, I’d like to have seen him & Tracy get together, but it was good with Alexis too.
He got longer death related on air time time than long time regulars “Bobby” and “Epiphany” who actually died.
I liked Gregory much more than Epiphany or Bobbie and I cried at his “funeral,” not theirs. Of course I felt sad for the real life deaths of the actresses who played Bobbie and Epiphany; I was shocked and saddened by both losses. But in-story? I was much more affected by losing Gregory. And I don’t agree; his death didn’t get more air time if you’re referring to the memorial, but his death is leading to Finn’s story…
That’s not true, at least in the case of Bobbie. They devoted two full episodes to Bobbie’s death between the funeral, and the day after with Ghost BJ as the reporter interviewing people about Bobbie’s life. Not to mention the day Carly got the news of her death, and then the news made its way around town to Laura, Scott, Lucy etc, so really three episodes if you want to get technical. They had two episodes for Gregory, the day he died and the funeral.
Honestly, it’s silly to compare “this one got this much air time, that one got that much air time”, they were all very well done shows, and in the case of Jackie Zeman and Sonya Eddy, appropriate tributes to beloved members of the GH family that passed away in real life. Particularly the Bobbie tribute and how they worked BJ into the story, that was some of the best stuff GH has done in many years period.

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
It’s been over two-years since his last appearance on General Hospital, now fan favorite Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the casting of his grown-up TV daughter, Serena Baldwin now played by Kelly Kruger.
Kelly took over the role of Serena on-screen starting with the July 30, 2026 episode and has been ensconced in the storyline with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), in trying to win back full creative control of Deception for her.
In fact on the Monday, October 19 episode of the ABC soap opera, Serena tried to dupe Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) shares of the company. Jason caught on and wondered why she was doing this. She claimed she just wanted to help her mom gain creative control from Tracy (Jane Elliot) rather than full ownership, and begged Jason to keep quiet about it, which he agreed to for now.

WHERE IS SCOTT?
On Monday, Shriner also took to X and said, “I think Kelly Kruger is doing a great job on General Hospital, and she and Lynn Herring work well together.” That was followed by comments in his thread about the show needing to bring back Scott too.
In fact, back on August 25, Shriner also took to X with a reminder that Scott is still around and ready to come back to Port Charles, sharing, “Scotty Baldwin always fits in he just needs the right sport coat !!!!”
The last time Serena mentioned her father Scott was when Kruger made her debut and informed Lucy that her father was, “living his best life in Key West.” Meanwhile, Shriner posts on his X account continually and shared back on August 2, that it has been 49 years since he made his on-screen debut as then teenaged, Scotty Baldwin and thanked the fans for al the love and support.
So, now let us know, are you enjoying Kelly Kruger as Serena Baldwin? Do you want to see GH bring back Scott Baldwin into the story, so Serena has both her parents in Port Charles? Do you like the potential of Jason and Serena pairing? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
