GENERAL HOSPITAL: Lucky is Revealed, Kristina and Molly Have a Showdown, Lulu’s Loved Ones Hold Out Hope
The Friday, August 23rd episode of General Hospital delivered viewers beginnings of the next arcs of several storylines, especially with the return of Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer.
Although it was the very last seconds of the episode, the five-time Daytime Emmy winner is back on our screens. In the story, as Laura (Genie Francis) laments she wishes she knew where Lucky was, while speaking to Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), the scene shifts to Lucky with a burlap bag over his head in captivity somewhere. Next, a man removes the bag to reveal Luke and Laura’s beloved son.
Back in Port Charles, Lucky’s sister, Lulu has been moved to General Hospital from the longterm care facility, in lieu of better medical attention. Lulu now has an issue with a failing liver, putting in question whether she will pull out of her coma. However, Laura tells Elizabeth she will not give up hope, because Lulu is a fighter.

When Maxie (Kirsten Storms) comes to see her best friend, she recalls never telling Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) that Lulu still loved him and tells her comatose bestie, that she did that because she was sure Lulu would want him to move on, which he has with Sam. Dante is also upset and conflicted once he learns Lulu has been moved to GH. Eventually, he shows up to see his ex-wife, as Maxie is trying to will Lulu to wake up for everyone that loves her especially her children, Rocco (Finn Carr) and Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez), and the man she loves, Dante.

At the cemetery, following the funeral of TJ (Tajh Bellow) and Molly’s (Kristen Vaganos) baby, a massive and emotional verbal fight ensues between sisters Molly and Kristina (Kate Mansi). It’s at that point that Molly lashes out at Kristina that it her fault her sweet innocent baby is buried. Molly goes on to call Kristina selfish and self-absorbed. Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) begs Molly to back-off which prompts Molly to lash out at her mother for always defending Kristina.
Molly asks Alexis, if the baby is why she was so eager to get her law license back? In order to steal her baby for Kristina? Next, Alexis breaks down in tears, as well. Then in a shocker, Molly pulls out the affidavit that was in Alexis’ briefcase. Thinking that Alexis threw in with Kristina to take her baby once it was born, she continues to lash out at the both of them.

While Kristina cried that the baby was part of her, Molly fires back that she killed her! Molly says mothers protect their children, and she is selfish and caused her baby’s death. Kristina collapses on the ground. TJ leans over and medically checks on her, before leaving with Molly and her dad, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). In the aftermath while back home, Alexis tells Kristina she needs to find a way to reconnect with her sister. However, Kristina says she will never forgive Molly for blaming her for her baby’s death.
So, what did you think of Friday’s GH? Who is holding Lucky captive? Will Lulu wake up soon? What did you think of the showdown between Molly and Kristina? With Ric back are we heading towards a court battle over the death of the baby? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
What an episode! Great acting from all involved. And Lucky is back, hopefully quickly to Port Charles. And GH, please cast Lulu so we can see her face.
I’m sure Laura will be off ” looking for a Liver transplant” so as to get her usual summer vacation. I have a hunch that brother Cyrus will turn out to be the one with the Liver.
I was team Molly and Tj, but no more. They are being EXTREMELY selfish, for failing to acknowledge everything this woman has gone through . Siding with Ava, give me a break. Kristina needs to heal herself and put her selfish and self-righteous sister on hold!
Boy, do I agree with you! Did Molly think a piece of paper bought her a baby? Yes, T.J was the bio father but that didn’t make Molly the mother, nothing can ever change the fact that Kristina was that child’s mother, not certainly Molly’s incessant “my baby,my baby” carrying on with her usual spoiled brat tactics.Their mother tried telling the two of them that this might happen and sure enough it did!
I am thrilled that Lucky is back and that Lulu will wake up soon. With Emma Samms coming back to GH and her return is tied to Lucky, I wonder if she is holding Lucky captive somewhere. Wyndemere perhaps? It could also be Valentin Cassadine holding Lucky hostage on Cassadine Island. I hope we some clues on Monday. I’m excited to see where Lucky has been the last ten years and how he will make his way home to Port Charles. I just hope it’s sooner than later.
It was difficult and sad watching the Davis family implode. The surrogacy story could have been beautiful and brought the sisters and families (Davis & Ashfords) closer together, but instead it has driven a wedge between them that won’t mend anytime soon.
They’ve mentioned Wyndemere a number of times and got me thinking of how many people could hide out there , right in plain sight as they say, well almost. You would think that someone with any imagination would go and check it out.
The role of Lulu Spencer, will now be played by Crystal Hunt. That’s my prediction.
I would be ok with that. Loved her on OLTL
Yes I loved Crystal Hunt, on OLTL. She is a wonderful actress.
The cemetery fight was a bit extreme even for a soap. Kristina wailing on the ground while Molly lays into her. Talk about kicking a dead horse. All the actors did a terrific job delivering the material though. I may start fast forwarding through the Davis girls though. I wasn’t looking forward to a drawn out custody battle but now I think I would prefer a custody battle instead of this. It’s so sad and dark.
Please tell us the rumors of Lulu dying are not true. I can see GH doing this to us so soon after killing off a baby. We waited so long for her to wake up.
The rumors are saying that the casting call was for Hayden’s position not Lulu’s.
Since the character was born, Molly has always been “the other Davis girl”. Even so at the start of this surrogate story (granted the multiple recasts contributed to that).
Over the past month, Kristen Vaganos’ performance has brought Molly to the forefront. We finally see Molly’s perspective. She and Taj Bellow’s TJ are a younger couple that should drive stories for the foreseeable future.
Great seeing Rick Hearst back as Ric supports his daughter. Looking forward to the eventual confrontation with Sonny.
As per your last sentence, me too, especially since Sonny’s ‘back on his game
Beautifully said, Steve. Molly is that good girl who gets ignored by her parents because she has a sibling who constantly screws up garnering all of the attention.
Was great episode very soap opera vibes finally n cliffhanger at the end with lucky
Molly totally Molly and TJ they were awesome. I am totally on their side. Christina is a bitch a selfish attention seeker and she lies all the time she promised and begged to be there surrogate when they all knew what would do and went ahead and caused trouble again, just like she always does, Molly had every right to her and her mother Alex is always protecting Christina and making Molly baby Christina well Molly has had enough baby TJ sperm and baby Molly and TJ. I don’t care 100 times carried the baby. She was not supposed to attached to it she knew the rules and she had agreed to them in the very beginning and then goes and changes her mind and causes trouble again. Never listening to TJ and Molly about what they wanted her to do in order to protect the baby during the pregnancy she Christina Always went and went against what they said and caused trouble all the time and she did that never listening and that is what got the baby Killed as far as I’m concerned Christina is at total fault. She should’ve known better than to go and visit Ava. She could’ve made a telephone call to her. TJ and Molly told her to stop putting stress on the baby and she never listened and she kept doing it. No it is completely Christine’s fault and then to find out that Christina and Alexis were planning to steal Molly and TJ’s baby and that is exactly what they were doing. Look at the whole thing for what it is people and anybody who doesn’t see it this way. Is blind and you’re no better than Christina
Christina is true to her usual entitled behavior. She was going to betray her sister by taking away the baby that she agreed to surrogate for Molly. T. J. was right to be worried, and Molly was absolutely justified to blame Christina for causing the baby to die. It was Christina’s impulsive decision to go confront Ava. If she had just stayed home instead of having a temper tantrum and confronting Ava, the baby would have survived. It seems Christina needs to be assessed for bipolar disorder. Her behavior is erratic, and she never takes responsibility for her mistakes. She always sees herself as the victim. Classic bipolar behavior, just like her father when he gets off his meds.
I really didn’t like the way you described Kristina in wanting to keep her own baby, she didn’t sell her you know, but that’s why in real life they advise people, especially relatives not to make these agreements. On the second horn, as Satan would say, you have a point about the Bipolar thing, like Sonny and Morgan have also, being hereditary, she has shown this behavior other times.
When bad actors can’t reach down and pull something deep inside themselves in order to emote, they overact to compensate. Kristina shrieked and screamed with nary a tear or a flicker of facial emotion. Her shrieking and caterwauling was ridiculous and what should have been a heart wrenching scene turned into dark comedy.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.
In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.
Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.
Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?
In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.
ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION
Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.
Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.
ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA
In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.
It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.
So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first check out the scenes featuring Anna on her road to recovery in France

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Drops First Single EDM/Dance Track ‘If You Need Me’

Last weekend, we shared the news that General Hospital alum and Daytime Emmy winner, Chad Duell (ex-Michael Corinthos) was releasing his first single today on June 26th and it has indeed dropped! And for those readers who guessed that Duell’s first track out of the gate was going to be an EDM/Dance/House track … you are correct, sir!
The song entitled, “If You Need Me” is perfect for the late night clubs and can be found on Spotify and other major streaming platforms! Duell is noted as the performing artist, but as the composer/ lyricist and the beatmaker of the track. For his music projects, Chad is going solely by the name of “Duelly” which has been his social media handle for years.
Taking to his Instagram on Friday, Duell explained his deep dive into making music, expressing, “I’ve wanted to make music for a long time… I just never did it. It always felt like this huge, overwhelming thing to learn. All the technical side of it, the programs, everything that goes into actually building a track… it was easy to keep pushing it off. A couple months ago I finally just decided to go for it.”

BIT BY BIT PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Chad added, “Since then I’ve been putting in a lot of time learning, experimenting, figuring things out, and slowly starting to find a sound I’m really proud of. This first release is more of a dance/EDM vibe, but I’ve also been working on a lot of different styles behind the scenes that I’m just as excited about. At some point I realized I could keep holding onto everything trying to make it perfect… or I could just start putting music out and grow as I go.”
Stepping out of his own way, Duell firmly says, “So that’s what I’m doing. My first track “If You Need Me” is out now. More coming soon… this is just the beginning.”
As GH viewers know, Chad made the decision to step away from General Hospital after a 15-year run with the series where his last episode aired in January of 2025. By May of last year, the role was recast with Rory Gibson debuting in the part.
Give a listen below to Duelly’s “If You Need Me,” and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Did You Think of the Return of Anna Devane, and What’s In the Letter?

Finola Hughes made her dramatic return on-screen on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of General Hospital. Viewers will see Finola as Anna Devane again on tomorrow’s June 26th episode.
In the story, while in the French mental health facility, Anna has a session with Dr. Laurent. She tell her she now knows she was never kidnapped and that Cesar Faison is dead.
As she continued with her ruse, she went on to say she understands she was enlisted back into the WSB on a secret mission, and through that she relived all the trauma she endured by Faison, which caused her to have a psychotic break. Anna promises Dr. Laurent that her treatment plan had helped her so much in figuring out what was real, and what was in her imagination.

ANNA’S GOT HER OWN PLAN TO ESCAPE
In a smart move (hopefully) Anna told Laurent if she could talk to someone else who had known Faison that it might aid in her recover. She was given the phone and she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), who agreed to fly to France in the morning. Dr. Laurent claims she is pleased with Anna’s progress, but that they still have a very long long way to go.
Now by herself, Anna pulled out a packet of letters from a bedside table. There is one in particular that she is fixated on. What does it contain? Is this all a part of her escape plan? Will she warn Felicia that “Nathan” is really Cassius (Ryan Paevey)? If so, will Felicia even believe her?
In a summer preview with Soap Opera Digest, GH co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten shared, “We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”
So, were you happy to see Anna Devane back on your screens? What do you think is in the particular letter she was staring at? Will Felicia help Anna escape or not believe a word she says? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, you can check out some of the scenes from Anna’s on-screen return below.
