GENERAL HOSPITAL: Josslyn Suffers the Loss of Another Love of Her Life, Lulu is Reunited With Her ‘Step-Monster’ Tracy Quartermaine

Monday’s December 16th episode of General Hospital brought with it two emotional moments for vastly different reasons. In the pick-up from Friday’s cliffhanger, Jason (Steve Burton) arrives at the hospital after Anna (Finola Hughes) called him to be there for Joss (Eden McCoy), as she is overcome with grief on the death of her boyfriend, Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). Anna tells Jason she tried Carly (Laura Wright), but she’s not picking up. That’s because Carly is trying to stop Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Nina (Cynthia Watros) from taking Michael’s kids.

Inside Dex’s hospital room, Joss lays her head on his chest and breaks down in tears. She thanks Dex for saving her life, trusting her with his heart, and changing how she sees the world. In a tearjerker moment, Joss thanks Dex for loving her, and she hopes she said it often enough back to him. After she gives Dex a kiss on the lips, she turns and sees Jason at the doorway and runs into his arms.

Jason brings Joss to the footbridge. She is in complete shock that this is happening to her all over again; remembering the death of Oscar and now she has to grieve all over again about Dex. Joss tells Jason that at least with Oscar, she got to say goodbye. None of this is adding up for Joss. She has to find out what went wrong, because Dex survived his surgery and his stabbing and was on the mend. Joss tells Jason she owes it to Dex to find the answers as to what happened that caused his sudden death. The scenes were played with heart-aching pain and shock by Daytime Emmy winner, Eden McCoy.

In a joyful and heart-tugging moment, after all the drama with Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow’s affair coming to light at the Quartermaines (and all the bickering among the family), Lulu (Alexa Havins) arrives with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) in tow. She declares,“Step-Monster, you haven’t changed a bit.” All of a sudden Tracy’s (Jane Elliot) demeanor goes from sour to tears of joys and she cries, “Finally!” Next, she and Lulu embrace. Now alone with Lulu, Tracy can’t believe Lulu’s here and healthy, and relates how she’s been praying for this, which they both know she doesn’t do often.

The conversation turns to the loss of Luke, and Tracy says she misses him every day and the two discuss how much like Luke that Lulu is. However, Tracy tells Lulu that she missed a lot in four years, and it’s important for her to focus on the present. When the talk turns to trying to locate Charlotte, Tracy implores Lulu not to go rogue like her father would, and that she will help and use all her resources to help locate her daughter.

The scenes between Lulu and Tracy were extremely touching. Alexa Havins is fitting nicely into the role of Lulu, and her chemistry with the incomparable Jane Elliot just clicked!

So, what did you think of the heartbreaking and heart-tugging moments on yesterday’s General Hospital? Comment below. But first, check out when Lulu and Tracy see each other for the first time in four years.

After all the build up for Dex’s past, GH drops the ball, AGAIN. Getting tired of “going nowhere storylines” and useless characters
Ie, Rick, Molly, Drew, Willow, and Nina. Missing Sam , Robert, and Finn !!!

I so agree.

I Agree . Quit killing all the Good guys

Was a GH viewer years ago with Steve and Audrey Baldwin and the original opening! Now back. Disappointed with some of the storylines; sad about the deaths of key characters. Now more want to leave, or are being killed off or written out. Continuity is important. GH needs a new continuity editor! I volunteer! Hire me!

First you’d have to recall that it’s Hardy. Steve and Audrey Hardy.
Are you sure you were watching?

The Tracy & Lulu reunion was well done. Havins is nailing it as Lulu.

First we were treated to the return of the Wyndemere set last week. On Tuesday, the took the Q den set out of mothballs. We haven’t seen that set in over a year. It’s the second oldest (not significantly modified) set next to Kelly’s/Bobbie’s. Years of Quartermaine bickering have occurred on that set. Glad to see it’s still in rotation.

Well, you’re right there, Steve. Some good things are happening.

I think the new Luli is very good.
, she fits the role better then the l aw st one. She more like the original actress. She has spunk that’s want counts.

The scenes between “Tracy” and her “stepdaughter” were Emmy deserving. Especially when Tracy tells Lulu “you have all of my resources at your disposal.” It will be Tracy, working with Spinelli, who finds and rescues Charlotte and brings her home to Lulu.

The GH writers seem to think misery porn is entertaining. It is not fun to watch 21 year old Joss suffer the loss of another young boyfriend anymore than it was fun to watch Sasha lose her baby, and then her husband Brando. Killing off characters because you want to drive the plot is not a hallmark of good writing. They killed off Sam just to start a triangle with Cody, Dante and Lulu. The plot driven writing also dictated that for some inexplicable reason, Holly and Robert were Sasha’s parents. This was all due to free up Cody so he could be paired up with Lulu. And Drew was killed off most likely to free up Joss for Natalia’s son, whom she keeps yammering about. This is the worse, the laziest plot driven writing I have ever had the misfortune of seeing.

I meant to say Dex was killed off, not Drew. Excuse my wishful thinking.

Harry
That’s the same wishful thinking many of us have. It’s a combination of the writing and acting. In theory, we should like Drew – being Alan’s son and all. But, what we see on screen right now ain’t cutting it.

I’ve only (somewhat) liked CM’s portrayal of Drew in his first month in captivity and then his early days with Nina. Now, he’s just coming off creepy.

Thank goodness they didn’t go with their original idea of having CM play Ric. He would’ve weakened that character and we would have this marvelous Rick Hearst return we’re experiencing.

Lol regarding your wishful thinking Freudian slip. Yes, lazy lazy lazy writing this year. It pains me to say I may stop watching but it’s been terrible. I love Genie Francis and Jane Elliot and I remember them during the Camelot daytime era. I mostly keep watching out of loyalty but I may have to stop. Although I am grateful Frank has allowed Jane to have more camera time this year. That’s been a plus for me but that’s about all.

I’m grateful that Jane Elliot hasn’t given up and left herself. I hope solid strong stories are just around the corner for 2025.

The could a return of Tony Geary be the last card up their sleeve?

Geary is 77 and comfortably retired in Amsterdam. Luke is not coming back.

I have read and heard all the same stories about how Tony has retired and has no interest in returning… that said.. this a soap opera based in many fantasy, disjointed stories.. based in little reality…so why not speculate of his shocking surprising return.. seem like logical thing too with all that is happening on GH now.. and a stunt Tony, Jane, and Frank like so much and could pull off.

Speaking of Sasha, me-thinks she might pair-up with Jason now that Michael is leaving. Not that he’d be doing Sasha a favor but he will always step up for his nephew. Speaking of Natalia’s son, I’m sure he’ll be a screw-up, unlike his sister. Yea, poor Joss, huh?

We’ve had enough funerals on GH in both storyline and real life. Hoping 2025 will be a happier year. It has become depressing to watch.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: If Jason Leaves the Mob, What Will He Do Next?

Published

Steve Burton

As had been teased since Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) captivity by the WSB and his release on General Hospital, he is clearly having issues speaking about what happened to him, after he was dragged away from Port Charles when he took the fall for Rocco (Finn Carr) who shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

Now. as Jason tries to reacclimate to life back in Port Charles, he has already displayed that he wants to do better for his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and the people he loves and to show up for them.

In addition, things took a turn on the Friday, July 31 episode where after Sonny (Maurice Benard) questioned Jason if he was having an issue with Ric (Rick Hearst) working side by side with his half-brother, Jason had something to say.

An emotional Jason tells Sonny, “I can’t work for you anymore.” The moment left Sonny dumbfounded, and viewers won’t know the pick-up of the conversation till Monday’s August 3 episode of GH.

Could it be that this time Jason will cut ties with Sonny and the mob for good? If so, it would be the end of an era for Jason and Sonny, sort of the Batman and Robin of GH with a twist.

Previous teases from the GH co-head writing team of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, and Burton himself on his podcast That’s Awesome ,seem to indicate there is a change coming for Jason that sends him off in a different path in his life.

However, we should learn Jason’s reasons shortly, and if Sonny can talk him back into the mob, or can just wish Jason the best and let him go. But now the question becomes, if Jason exits life as Sonny’s right hand man and henchman, what do you see him doing with his life? We do know that Jason is aware that Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) has tied to the WSB, since he escorted him to Port Charles via Jakarta on the plane which may be a clue.

Weigh-in below: Do you want Jason to go work for the Quartermaines and truly join the family in full? Do you see him doing something to help those in need, or do you see him going undercover with the WSB to expose some of the treacherous things they perpetrated on him and others, or do you see Jason doing something completely different with his life? If so, what? Let us know your hopes and thoughts for Jason in the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ethan Lovett Hightails Out of the Country, Christian Howard Wraps His Stint

Christian Howard

That was quick! Christian Howard, who now looks to have literally stepped in for Nathan Dean to wrap up a few episodes for the character of Ethan Lovett made a quick exit on Friday’s July 31 episode of General Hospital.

GH viewers were stunned earlier this week on the Monday, July 27 episode when a voiceover announcer shared that Christian Howard was now playing Ethan Lovett. Next, Ethan hits the sheets with Ava Jerome, played by three-time Daytime Emmy-winner, Maura West. All seemed to be moving forward when suddenly at the end of the Thursday, July 30 episode, Ethan spots newcomer Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) at the Metro Court Pool, and makes a quick getaway.

Then, it’s revealed after packing his bags at Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) house, that out of nowhere, Ethan received a lead on an incredible opportunity so he has to say goodbye to Lulu and run out of town and was leaving Port Charles.

RUNNING OUT OF TOWN

In fact, Ethan was in such a hurry, he forgot to say goodbye to Ava who had been waiting for him at the Metro Court pool. There is clearly a connection to Hudson and baby Phoebe after Ethan spotted the guy, because Ethan also glanced over to the baby and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) at the Metro Court pool, before he ran to Lulu’s to pack his things. All of this points to Howard being an emergency recast for Dean.

It’s definitely been a week of change on-screen on the ABC soap with the news of Maxie, Spinelli, James, Georgie and Bailey all suddenly leaving Port Charles for Australia, after Spinelli got an offer he could not turn down.

That exit was written because Kirsten Storms is at this time,, and the very foreseeable future, not returning to General Hospital and is living in Tennessee. As she had documented via her Instagram stories and posts, she has been going through several personal ordeals. In addition to Storms, Ryan Paevey also exited the series earlier this month when he ended his run as Cassius Faison, while leaving the door open for his return down the line.

So, will newcomers Kelly Kruger (Serena Baldwin), Dean Geyer (Tristan Roberts) and Troy Lennon Appel fill the void of the multitude of exits? What are your theories on Christian Howard’s departure as Ethan Lovett on GH? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘Knots Landing’ Favorite Donna Mills Joins ‘OnlyFans’

Published

By

Donna Mills, who at 85-years-old is still turning heads, booking film and TV roles and co-hosting the We’re Knot Done Yet podcast with her Knots Landing pals, Michele Lee (ex-Karen) and Joan Van Ark (ex-Valene), is now joining the world of Only Fans.

The news came Mills herself in a statement, where she shared to Variety, “I’ve always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I’ve received from my fans over the years. Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected, but I’m excited to join OnlyFans because it offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection.”

While OnlyFans is primarily known for its steamy content, Mills is taking a different approach, explaining that she will be “sharing moments from my daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way. It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am.”

WHY DID DONNA MILLS JOIN OTHER CELEBRITIES ON ONLYFANS?

Andy Bachman, CEO Creators INC who presides over OnlyFans also shared in a statement, “This is not about changing who she is. It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love. Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time. She told me, ‘YOLO — let’s do it,’ and that perfectly captures her attitude. She is approaching OnlyFans on her own terms and creating a space that feels authentic, personal and completely true to her.”

Mill’s move to OnlyFans comes on the heels of others in Hollywood who are pivoting to the platform not only for its revenur, but to control their own narrative of what they want put out into the world about themselves. One example is Shannon Elizabeth of American Pie and Scary Movie fame, who told Variety that since April she has earned more than $1.2 million in seven days via her OnlyFans account.

FROM THE CUL DE SAC AT SEAVIEW CIRCLE TO PORT CHARLES

While Donna Mills is best- known for her role as Abby Cunningham Ewing on Knots Landing from 1980-1989, 1993, she also won a Daytime Emmy for her role of Madeline Reeves on General Hospital. Mills played the evil mother to Nina Reeves (then Michelle Stafford) and sister to Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) from 2014-2015 and again in 2018.

The veteran actress also had a leading role in the soap opera, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, where she and GH’s late, great sister, Leslie Charleson (ex-Monica Quartermaine, GH) played sisters Laura and Iris Donnelly from 1967-1970. Mills began her soap career on The Secret Storm back in 1966.

So, what do you think of Donna Mills joining OnlyFans? Do you think the once exclusive provocative content platform, which is going more Hollywood, will ultimately be where big named celebrity post their own content? Share your thoughts via the comment section below, and in case you missed it, you can check out the Michael Fairman Channel’s most recent chat with Donna Mills from earlier this year and our livestream with Donna, Michele and Joan from 2025 below.
