On Wednesday’s September 25th episode of General Hospital as Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) remains in prison for a crime she did not commit, Kristina (Kate Mansi) has a heart-to-heart with Sonny (Maurice Benard). She admits she may have said too much to Chase (Josh Swickard) when he questioned her about the night of Cates’ murder.

Kristina (Kate Mansi) confesses to Sonny that she went to the Quartermaine’s the night Cates was murdered with the intent of killing. Trying to play it cool, Sonny says she understands that she was going through a mental health crisis. She says she is seeking help from support groups at GH. Sonny warns her that killing someone marks you for the rest of your life. She asks if Sonny’s carrying that burden. Sonny responds that Jagger was going to continue punishing her in an effort to get to him.

Sonny tells Kristina, that will no longer be a problem. Kristina asks her father (in a bit of a state of shock), “Because of you?” Next, she pleads with him not to let her mother pay for a crime she didn’t commit. He assures Kristina that Alexis will not go down for this crime, and that all of them will get out of this situation. Meanwhile, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) talks with her mom’s attorney, Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), and they come up with a plan to try to crack Carly’s (Laura Wright) alibi the night of Cates’ murder.

In Africa, just as Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) has been able to pick the lock and free himself from his jail cell, Holly (Emma Samms) is there as she was en route to save him. However, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and his cronies capture them, and handcuff them, and they are brought back to the area where Jason (Steve Burton) and Anna (Finola Hughes) are. Lucky sees Jason and Anna for the first time in years, but no one allows themselves to let on or reveal their true connections.

Holly comes up with how Anna and her were rivals for her ex-husband (using memories of Robert Scorpio, no less). Sidwell demands to know her connection to Lucky. Meanwhile, Lucky pipes up that Jason and Anna are there to take Sidwell for everything’s he got. Not trusting anyone of them, Sidwell proposed a three-way card game where if Jason wins, he and Anna live another day, if Lucky wins, he and Holly can stay alive. However, if he wins, they all will die! We fade to black.

So, what do you think Sonny and Kristina will do to save Alexis, without Sonny taking the fall for killing Cates? Will Holly, Jason, Anna and Lucky all make it out of Africa unscathed? Comment below. But first take a look at scenes from today’s GH where Martin and Alexis discuss her case.

Enough of the poker games! Let’s get this storyline moving faster. Are we waiting on Genie to come back from her summer vacation? And I am ready to see Lulu’s face!

It does seem odd that Laura & Kevin left for Africa several weeks ago but haven’t shown up yet, while Jason & Anna got there within a couple of days. Supposedly Laura’s been in phone contact with various mortals back in Port Charles, so we can assume she hasn’t also been kidnapped.

Genie Francis is enjoying her annual summer vacation, so this is why she and Kevin have remained off the canvas.

This IS a story! How long have you been watching GH? Do you not remember the capers back in the day? Luke and others going out of the country to rescue one of their own or take out a bad guy? Why do you think Lulu waking up is the story that Lucky has to get to, instead of enjoying see four legacy characters and four vet actors, playing out a story of their own? I’m loving it! The sheer joy of seeing Lucky, Jason, Holly, and Anna on a “caper” together, and looking forward to how they’re going to escape is enjoyable in and of itself! These legacy characters won’t be together again, if ever, for a long time to come. Emma Samms (Holly) lives in the UK, and who knows how long Jonathan Jackson will stay. I’m savoring these scenes, devoid of any “newbies.” It’s a return to the GH that has long since started fading away…

Satan’s memory is a sharp as his spear

Yes, we’ve only got until the end of Genie’s vacation to enjoy these misfits and hopefully Jason and Anna won’t continue once they are back in PC. I don’t think they will make it in time to save Lulu, but it will be Sam’s Swan Song to her rescue.It would be nice if Lucky would stay for Liz and the boys. Where’s the Calvary? Hopefully Laura and Kevin are leading them there.

We know that none of the PC 4 are going to die from the card game so it’s a bit melodramatic. They’ve used this plot point way too much already with Lucky.

Sidwell does have potential as a long term villain.

The twist with Martin and Molly working together to expose Carly is fresh and intriguing.

Is this the real Martin? He returns from wherever he’s been and the beard and the accent are gone. Did he hire Lois’ dialect coach?

Miss the beard. Don’t miss the accent.

After yesterday, I’m starting to wonder. It doesn’t seem logical that a lawyer would think it was a good strategy to exonerate his client by implicating the guy who’s actually paying his bill.

Best case scenario there is that you don’t get paid. Worst case is that you get killed.

Also he hasn’t mentioned his mama or hummingbird cake even once yet. Maybe this isn’t really Marty?

Lois’ tutor must have worked with Martin too.

Why would anyone continue to watch a show to allow cold blooded murder let his daughter’s mother go to jail. Sonny is a coward

If I wanted endless poker, I’d binge-watch M*A*S*H! For crying out loud, we’re wasting an all-star lineup. Back in the day, these storylines would shoot on location and not look so claustrophobic and set-bound. This is almost like they’re making it all up as they go along. I’ll give the writers one prop, though. Lucky has had a lot of extremely Luke-like lines along the way. But back in the day, Tony Geary and Tristan Rogers would have nodded off four or five hands ago.

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.

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.
