GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Danny Look to the Stars for Sam; Lulu Makes Contact with Charlotte

The Christmas Eve episode of General Hospital brought it with an extremely touching and important moment, when the passing of Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) was truly acknowledged on the holidays by her son, Danny (Asher Antonyzn) and her ex, Jason (Steve Burton).

Danny is missing his mom terribly as this is his first Christmas without Sam, who died suddenly on Halloween. At the Quartermaines, Jason steps out the patio with his son. The two talk about what is bothering Danny, and it is simply he misses his mom. Danny points to the stars and shows Jason the one particular star that he believes is Sam. The two tell Sam (as they look to the star) how much they love and miss her.

That particular moment was played beautifully by Asher Antonyzyn and Steve Burton. We hope that there are more father and son moments are ahead in 2025, and that Sam’s death will never be forgotten. Elsewhere, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) at Rice Plaza is handling Sam’s death a little differently. He is all up in his grief, and sad that Sam is not with him for the holidays.

Meanwhile, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) focused her Christmas on doing something special for her daughter, Molly (Kristen Vaganos), and so she swallowed her pride and got Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) to come over and help her decorate the tree for their daughter. There were some hilarious comedic moments played by the two, just with looks and some zinger dialogue between Nancy Lee Grahn and Rick Hearst. The best line came when after Rick found some tape amid the ornament boxes, and Alexis says, “Slap a piece of that over your mouth and help me unload these boxes!”

At Rice Plaza, Rocco (Finn Carr) has a surprise for his mother. Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) communicated with him via text, and in turn, he shocked her with a video of Lulu (Alexa Havins) alive and well. Next, Rocco hands Lulu his phone and Lulu speaks to Charlotte on the line. Charlotte cries she has been praying for her mom to wake up for so long. Lulu asks where she is. Charlotte says she can’t tell her, and she’s not even supposed to be calling or texting anyone. Lulu begs her to tell her where she is. Finally, Charlotte provides her with her location. Lulu says she promises won’t tell anyone and that she’ll be there soon.

Rocco asks his mom if she knows where Charlotte is? She says, she does, but she must go there alone. She promised Charlotte she wouldn’t tell anyone, and can’t risk losing her. Lulu begs Rocco to keep this between them. Rocco says he will for Charlotte’s sake. As she leaves and hugs her son, Lulu promises to make this family whole again. Question: shouldn’t Lulu also spend more time with Rocco, who we watch sit by his mother’s hospital bedside for months and months? Just sayin’.

Also noteworthy: the new Emma (Braedyn Bruner) runs into Gio (Giovanni Mazza) at Rice Plaza after stealing a wallet for a good cause. He seems to be taken with her but she disappeared when he turned around. Then, at the Q’s, Ned (Wally Kurth) says to Tracy (Jane Elliot) he is looking forward to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) having their first child, and he will become a granddad. Just as he says that, the camera switches to Lois (Rena Sofer), who has a very secretive and guilty look. Are we about to learn, what many have suspected, that Gio is Brook Lynn’s son with Dante? Stay tuned.

Note: all-new episodes of General Hospital return on Thursday, December 26th.

Merry Christmas Rosemary! I too enjoy seeing this paternal side of Jason. And I like him living at the Q’s. Thanks for reminding me of something I actually liked the writing team doing. Many blessings to you as well.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

FINOLA HUGHES RETURNS

The final moments of the teaser promo reveal Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France. We have not seen her for months after Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal fed her hallucinogenics to make her believe her arch nemesis, Cesar Faison was alive!

Now, the doctors walk towards her hospital bed, where we see the super spy calmly knitting. Is Anna back to normal and playing everyone to get out of her predicament, or does she still remain deeply traumatized … or both?

Take a look at the rest of the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, JUNE 22
Willow gets an unwelcome surprise. Trina sticks to her guns. “Nathan” wants reassurance. Ethan advises Ava. Brook Lynn receives an update.

Josslyn clashes with Cassius. Lulu and Dante make a discovery. Chase receives a warning. Jordan seeks help. Alexis is summoned to the PCPD.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26
Anna takes a huge risk. Britt is in grave danger. Willow is in disbelief. Danny must act fast. Curtis jumps to the wrong conclusion.

Check out the latest General Hospital promo entitled, “Rescue Mission” below.

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
