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’s’ Tanisha Harper on the Future of a Jordan Ashford and Michael Corinthos Pairing

Published

By

Jordan and Michael

It’s been clear for awhile now that General Hospital has been pushing Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) more into the orbit of Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), leading to speculation that the two will become more than just business associates and friends.

Well, now, Tanisha Harper has confirmed that the long-running ABC soap opera is testing the waters for a Jordan/Michael romance in her discussion with Soap Opera Digest.

The two characters share something in common, in that, they both have suffered severe burns and disfigurement, and they share a common bond working for Aurora Media.

CHEMISTRY TEST

Harper explained, “At first, they were kind of just sprinkling it in; we were starting to do some scenes together here and there. But, I think the writers and Frank Valentini (EP, GH) liked it, and we’ve progressed with that.”

This poses a bit of dilemma for Jordan, who’s boyfriend Curtis Ashford had been sent to Pentonville for assaulting Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson), but who just wound up on the receiving end of a prison beat down and landed at the hospital.

All things being equal, Tanisha shared that Michael is fast becoming, “the one person who understands what she’s going through on a deeper level. That makes for a strong connection, and I think the fans are starting to see that connection, too.”

As to if things will escalate and get hot and steamy from herem like any great forbidden love story, Tanisha shared, “That seems to be where we’re headed. In true soap fashion!”

Harper also noted about the future of Jordan and Michael, “We’ll see what the writers have in store for us, but I do think that this could be something really interesting. It’ll make some people mad, and some people will be here for it!”

So, are you down for a Jordan and Michael romance? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’s’ Tabyana Ali Weighs In on Who She Thinks is Trina’s Stalker (Exclusive)

Tabyana Ali

On General Hospital, as Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) has launched a music career alongside Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), it was recently revealed that she actually has what seems like an “obsessed” stalker! How do we know? Well, there is a collage of the young woman that said person is continuing to add more photos to as the weeks and months roll on.

There have been several obvious suspects in the way GH has presented the characters. Chief among them music executive, Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) who continually has made statements and has been shooting daggers at anyone getting in the way of his prized recording artist.

At the same time the stalking started, Kai’s friend and former college football teammate, Quinn (Jequan Jackson) showed back up who previously had a falling out with Trina. Might he be playing nice, but wants revenge on Trina?

KEPT IN THE DARK

Fast-forward and now General Hospital fans learned that two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Alley Mills is on her way back to the show as Heather Webber, who previously was known as”The Hook” killer at one point, and is the biological mother of Trina’s sworn enemy, Esme Prince (last played by Avery Pohl).

Esme perished went she went overboard with Trina’s boyfriend, Spencer Cassadine (last played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez) a few years ago into the steely waters below. Could Esme be the one obsessing over Trina, or could it be someone else completely?

In a brand new video interview out on Tuesday, September 29, Tabyana Ali visited You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel and weighed-in on who she thinks could be the culprit! However, Tabyana shared she actually has no idea who it actually will turn out to be.

“The crazy thing is that everybody knows who it is except for me! They’re keeping that secret from me,” revealed Ali. “They want me to be as oblivious as Trina.”

THOSE WHO WENT OVERBOARD AND PRESUMED DEAD

After looking over the potential suspects and with all the theories that have floated about, Tabyana had her top picks! “I would love for it to be Spencer. I would love for it to be Esme. Mostly because I also just want my friends back on set, too. I would love to just see them and hang out with them. I think it definitely could be one of those two,” speculated Ali.

“I think everybody thought it could have been Quinn, or could have been Simon. I think we were all pointing in that direction for a minute, but I thinks that’s too easy”, declares Tabyana. “I think they’re just trying to throw me off, and trying to make it seem like it’s one of them. Now, nobody told me one way or the other about them.”

As soaps go, it’s usually not the first string of suspects who turn out to be the actual person behind the stalking. Tabyana agreed, “If you just know writing in general, if you just know TV in general, if you know soaps in general, you know that’s a game. You know, they set up, set up, set up, and then they really show the reveal. So. I was like, ‘This is just the setup to the reveal, right?'”

As for it being Spencer, it may not because his motives are bad. Ali shared, “It could be Spencer trying to fight his way back to Trina, or Heather trying to get revenge for her dead daughter Esme, or Esme herself. Those are all good ones, I was also playing around with what if it’s Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober)? That would be kind of fun. Don’t know what his motive would be. I know he passed away. He’s dead because of Joss (Eden McCoy), but it’s like everybody comes back alive on soaps, so…”

FROM KAI WITH LOVE

Some fans theorized it could be Trina’s boyfriend, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) or one another option being that the real stalker takes him out. “I think that’s kind of happened to all of Trina’s boyfriends,” lamented Tabyana. “They’ve all kind of gone that way. So, hopefully it doesn’t happen that way. Would it be easier if Kai was the stalker? Okay, yeah, maybe. He’d go to jail for a couple months or whatever. Come on out and then what? He would had to have had a brain-eating amoeba that made him do it. Who knows?” (Laughs)

In the end, are Trina and Kai truly in love? Ali shared her viewpoint and gave a tease, “I think they have love for one another, but to love someone it does take gradual time. I think it’s getting to that point. I think with this music situation as well, it is really proving to Trina that Kai is willing to be there with her every step of the way.”

She continued, “He is supporting her 10 toes down, making sure that she has everything that she needs, to going to every live show. I think this portion of their lives will definitely guide them somewhere else. I think, an ‘I love you,’ might come just around the corner.”

You can check out the full conversation with Tabyana now on the Michael Fairman Channel below.

Then weigh-in, after hearing Tabyana’s thoughts on the matter, who do you think will be proven to be Trina’s stalker? Let us know via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Lulu Tells Charlotte Everything That Could Have Happened to Her With Drew

Published

Lulu and Charlotte

The Monday, September 28 episode featured emotional scenes for Lulu (Alexa Havins), Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Charlotte that set the stage for the previously reported exit of Bluesy Burke.

In story, Lulu and Valentin inform Charlotte they are sending her away to boarding school in Maine. The reason: she needs more structure, and more than her parents can give her. Charlotte’s recent actions to try to set up Drew (Cameron Mathison) to make it look like he was making advances to a teenage girl was the last straw for the teenager.

Charlotte, at first, was angered and begging her parents to not make her leave Port Charles. Valentin exits to give Lulu time alone to talk to their daughter.

MOTHER HAS SOME THINGS TO SAY

Now alone, Lulu tries to open her daughter’s eyes as to what could have happened to her if she went through with her plot to videotape Drew with her in his car! Charlotte explains her plan and how she had everything under control, but Lulu asks her what if Drew took advantage of her or hurt her? What if things went terribly wrong? She questions Charlotte, if she even thought about that?

Lulu tried to make Charlotte see that Drew could have sexually assaulted her. Eventually, Charlotte agrees to go to boarding school, as Lulu and Charlotte share a tear-filled goodbye. However, before she leaves town, Charlotte asks her mother to let her say goodbye to Danny (Asher Antonyzyn).

VALENTIN OPENS UP TO ANNA

Meanwhile, Valentin has gone to the Metro Court Gardens and runs into Anna (Finola Hughes). Valentin is distraught sharing he feels like a failure as a father and because of his choices what has become of his daughter. He is devastated. These were also well-played scenes between James Patrick Stuart and Finola Hughes. Anna assures Valentin that sending Charlotte to boarding school is not a bad idea at all.

DANNY IS HEARTBROKEN AND ANGERED

Towards the conclusion of the episode, Charlotte tells Danny she is being sent to Maine to boarding school by his parents. Danny tries to look on the bright side, that Maine is not that far away from New York, and at least she is not being sent overseas.

However, Danny becomes upset when Charlotte tells him that her parents knew what she was planning with Drew, because Rocco had told Carly (Laura Wright).

Danny is confused why Rocco would have ratted her out. Charlotte says to impress Scou (Kayden Brenna Tokarski). The two teens hug with Charlotte promising that she’d be back, and Danny telling her he would here for her once she returned to Port Charles.

So, what did you think of the scenes between Lulu, Valentin and Charlotte? Did Lulu raise good points to her daughter about Drew, to scare her enough to realize actions have consequences? Will you miss Bluesy Burke? Let us know via the comment section, but first take a look at the opening scenes featuring the trio that sets-up Charlotte’s farewell, for now, below.
