General Hospital
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.
Finn Carr, who delivered powerful performances on General Hospital, when Rocco shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and its aftermath, may be headed for his first on-screen love story on the ABC soap opera.
Ever since it was announced that the long-running daytime drama decided to age-up Scout Cain, and in a few recent scenes between Rocco and Scout, it’s clear these two share similar interests and like each other.
Scout is now played by Kayden Brenna Tokarski, who made her GH debut back on July 20 as the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).

In a newly-released virtual segment with ABC11 North Carolina’s GH virtual insider, Dearon Smith, both Finn Carr and Asher Antonyzyn talked about working on a soap opera, while finishing high school, and teasing what’s ahead for Danny and Rocco. While Finn and Asher couldn’t give too much away, Smith asked Finn Carr if there is something brewing between Scout and Rocco?
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ROCCO AND DANNY?
Carr responded, “That’s an interesting question. Kaden is great to work with, and I love working with her. There definitely is some great stuff coming up that people are going to want to watch. It’s good stuff and really fun.”
Apparently, Danny and Rocco will also find themselves once again in some trouble, but as Finn tells it looks like this time, Danny will take the brunt of it. “We get into a lot of trouble … well, Danny gets into a lot of trouble … but I do a lot though.” Very cryptic indeed!
You can check out the full conversation with Finn and Asher with ABC11 below.
Now, let us know, would you like to see Rocco have a girlfriend, and that it would be Scout? Do you think Finn and Kayden work well together on-screen? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
While there have been plenty of on-screen newcomers in recent weeks on General Hospital, no need to worry about one of its mainstays, with the news from Daytime Emmy winner, Laura Wright, herself. Wright who plays Carly Spencer on the ABC soap opera has revealed on X, that she just re-signed a new deal with the soap opera to remain in Port Charles.
Wright is the fourth actress to play Carly, following in the footsteps of the OG Carly, Sarah Brown, Tamara Brown, and Jennifer Bransford. In fact, Laura left her major role on Guiding Light as Cassie Layne Winslow to take over the role of Bobbie Spencer’s (the late Jackie Zeman) complex daughter in November of 2005. Now almost 21 years later, Laura has made Carly her own and has delivered memorable performance after memorable performance throughout her run.
When a fans commented on X, “Can I just say if you ever leave General Hospital as Carly I will stop watching the show. I honestly have loved you and think that you are the best person to play Carly,” Laura Wright jumped in to the thread and assured her and other GH fans, that she has no plans to go anywhere else.

LAURA WRIGHT STAYING PUT AT GENERAL HOSPITAL AND FANS ARE HAPPY SHE’S STICKING AROUND
Laura expressed, “I’m not going anywhere, just signed a new contract!!!” Since she made her public statement, many GH fans were thrilled with the news with comments such as: “I would’ve been devastated if you weren’t sticking around. You’ve truly made Carly your own after so many years, ” and “Happy to hear this, I always enjoy #GH more when Carly is on,” plus “So glad you’re sticking around as Carly. Love Carly and can’t wait for more #Caradine and #Jarly”
One fans hopes Laura will be on for years to come a la Jane Elliot’s tenure as Tracy Quartermaine saying, “Awesome. It’s so fun getting to see the full life of a character. Hope you stick around for many more years. I think Carly will be a hoot in her Tracy Quartermaine era.”
Laura Wright’s road to General Hospital started back on ABC’s Loving when she first played Allison “Ally” Rescott on Loving (1991 to 1995) and then its spinoff The City (1995 to 1997). She later joined Guiding Light as Cassie, who was revealed to be the sister of Reva Shayne played by Kim Zimmer. She played the part from 1997-2005. From then on its been all GH scoring a Lead Actress Daytime Emmy win in 2011, along with eight total nominations throughout her daytime career.
Currently, Carly is involved in a romance with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), but it’s on shaky ground with Anna Devane back in the picture not so happy to see the two canoodling, and Carly having been warned by Sonny that Valentin is not trustworthy.
However, after seeing Laura’s post that she has signed on to stay at GH, James Patrick Stuart commented on X reacted by stating, “Phew!”
So, happy to hear Laura has re-signed with General Hospital and will continue her role as Carly Spencer? Let us know via the comment section below.
I’m not going anywhere ❤️❤️ just signed a new contract !!! ✨✨ https://t.co/GfTSt53xFQ

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Willow Feels The Effects of Jacinda’s Drugs; Josslyn Find Out She’s CEO of Jasper Jacks Enterprises
On the Friday, August 7, episode of General Hospital, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) unknowingly has put her children Amelia and Wiley in danger, Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ava (Maura West) appear to be in collusion against Sonny, and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) get off to a rocky start (which as you know in soaps could be a love match down the line!).
Here’s what went down as most of the action took place at the Metro Court pool area: First, Josslyn meets with Hudson, who reveals himself to be none other than the VP of Operations for JJE (Jasper Jacks Enterprises). Hudson tells Josslyn he was sent to Port Charles from Australia, while her dad was sailing around the world as he had named her the new CEO of his company.
Josslyn immediately puts her foot down and tells Hudson she is not accepting the position. He asks, why? She informs him that she works as a WSB agent. Hudson seems stunned and his interest is piqued.

HUDSON DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF JOSSLYN
In turn, they get into a tiff, where Hudson is annoyed that he flew all the way around the world and wasted his time. Meanwhile, Josslyn is annoyed that her father didn’t even bother to ask her if she wanted to run the company. In the end, Josslyn tells Hudson to get her a list of qualified candidates, one of which she can sign the company over to. She then storms off.
However, Hudson spots Ava Jerome, whom he knows was speaking with Ethan in Norway, and who knows about Ethan’s involvement with baby Phoebe. Ava is busy talking with Drew on how they mutual disdain of Sonny, and it should be the driving force for them to work together to take him down. Ava wants no more threats over her head of having Avery taken away from her by her father. Drew is all ears!
Michael (Rory Gibson) meets up at the pool with Jacinda. She shows him the restraining order that Willow got from the courts against her to stay away from the children. Michael promises to get his lawyers to fight it.
However, Michael knows something is up when Jacinda said, “Willow is about to make a public mistake,” hoping that pills she put in Willow’s iced coffee have begun to spin the congresswoman out of control. Michael demanded to know what Jacinda had done to Willow.

WILLOW’S ABOUT TO GO FOR A DANGEROUS DRIVE
Elsewhere at Nina’s, Willow got a surprise when Amelia and Wiley showed up. Now, she will have them for the afternoon and decides they are going to have fun day. After a slight scare when Wiley picked up her iced coffee, Willow told her son to put down the drink because it has caffeine in it. However, then Willow began to drink it herself unaware that Jacinda spiked it with drugs.
In the final moments of the episode, Willow’s behavior changes as she is now over-excited about taking the kids to the arcade. A drugged Willow grabs her car keys, and she and Amelia and Wiley head out to the car. We fade to black.
So, did you feel on-screen chemistry between Hudson and Josslyn? Do you like Drew and Ava teaming up? Do you think Willow gets into a car accident with Amelia and Wiley in the car, which in turn, will kick Jacinda to the curb with Michael? Share your thoughts on what happens next and more in the comment section below.
