The Wednesday, December 9 episode of General Hospital featured five key storylines: Valentin’s (James Patrick Stuart) whereabouts, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) trying to prep her client Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and his wife Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) for court, Laura (Genie Francis) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) and later Jason (Steve Burton) coming up with a way to smoke out Sidwell, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) waking up after her drunken night and finally Anna (Finola Hughes) seen for the first time in over a few weeks still kidnapped.

Let’s break it down: Laura is beside herself and goes to Sonny to tell him she told her husband, Kevin everything about Professor Dalton somehow showing up dead in the trunk of her car and Sonny’s involvement in the clean up. Sonny assures Laura that he will figure out how to bring Sidwell down, but he needs her to do as Sidwell says while she is the mayor, even if it’s something not-favorable towards him. For starters, Sidwell wanting her to overturn Measure C!

Sonny and Laura have a bonding moment, when he reminds her how she and Luke came to him when they were trying to get away from Frank Smith years ago, and how as a trio they were able to bring the criminal down. Will this entire saga bring Laura and Sonny closer than ever before?

Meanwhile, Britt wakes up in her room at Bobbie’s with Jason sitting in a chair. She realizes what happened the night before, and Jason wants her to explain to him, how she is getting the medication to control her Huntington’s disease and more, but still Britt is clamming up. After shutting Jason out, he leaves. Next, there is a knock at her door from Marco (Adrian Anchondo). He tells her that she will begin work in the new lab with the new fob key he is leaving for her tomorrow at 9am. She pushes back and Marco levies a threat against her. Is Marco becoming more and more like his father Sidwell, each day? Will Lucas even get a clue or remain “Mr. Clueless?”

When recounting the moments before he was shot, Drew wound back his steps in front of Alexis, Willow and Suzanne (Jen Rey) in Alexis’ living room to prepare him for court. He has a shocking moment when he says he recalled something else for the first time, but later says it went out of his head. Does he remember seeing Willow? Is that why he wouldn’t say anything? Meanwhile, he continues to tell Alexis he wants Michael to be the main suspect … no matter what!

At the conclusion of the episode, Anna is seen inside a room with a yoga mat and what looks like some sort of mini-kitchen, but she finally loses her temper and heads towards the glass that separates her from the other side of the world and her captor demanding to let her go! We fade to black.

So, do you think Sonny and Laura will remain good friends, or will somehow they become more than that? Who is keeping Anna? Could it be “Nathan?” What do you think Drew remembered. but will not say? Do you feel bad for Britt. … or have you had it with her? And. what do you think of Valentin stowing away in Carly’s (Laura Wright) attic? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first, check out the scene whee Laura and Sonny are trying to figure out how to out maneuver Sidwell.

Great to have both Anna and Mac back on screen.

The interesting part of the episode not mentioned above is Justine admitting to Molly that she’s playing Sonny. Interesting twist and it makes her appear smarter. As Rocco’s cousin, Molly shouldn’t have any access to his case nor be kept in the loop about her Uncle.

There’s conflicts of interests all over the PCPD and the DA’s office.

Molly and Dante are both related to Rocco, Sonny, and Michael. All of whom are “suspected” of one thing or another.

Nathan is Willow’s uncle.Or cousin, depending on how you want to look at it (raised as Nina’s brother, but not really)

Chase is Willow’s ex husband, and wants to throw his wife’s cousin (Mikey) under the bus to let her off the hook.

Anna’s AWOL, but even if she was on duty, she would be reluctant to arrest Val the Bastard, who is once again an international fugitive.

This is the problem with small towns like Port Charles. Everybody’s connected one way or another.

Love Britt. Portia has lied far too long Trina isn’t Curtis’s

Trina, a character I once loved, has regressed into a whiny, immature, little brat. The way she’s constantly blaming Jordan for her parents’ marital strife is ridiculous. She seems incapable of realizing that her parents are responsible for their marriage falling apart, not Jordan

Enough with Drew already! This is going on too long.

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.
