In an emotional General Hospital, the Monday, February 23rd episode held major moments for the future of Maxie (Kirsten Storms), Nathan (Ryan Paevey), Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Lulu (Alexa Havins), as well as a turning point for Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst), the first kiss between ADA Turner (Nazneen Contractor) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Michael (Rory Gibson) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) feud reaching new heights, while Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) sits with her son, Wiley (Viron Weaver) back in her arms.

There were plenty of touching performances, too. Chief among them from Kirsten Storms who remains a GH treasure, Bradford Anderson, who continues to make Spinelli the guy you want to root for, and Rick Hearst, who is still one of the best to ever do it in the genre.

The big story coming out of the episode was, who will Maxie choose to be with? Nathan (who has secretly developed feelings for Maxie’s bestie, Lulu) or Spinelli? Back at Maxie’s, Spinelli is with Lulu, where he admits his fear that Maxie’s love fo Nathan runs deep and he can’t compete against that type of love, because in actuality, he’s not fighting Nathan, he’s fighting the pull Maxie has in her heart. Lulu’s demeanor changed however when Spinelli claimed Nathan had been Maxie’s hero. It’s clear Lulu is trying to steel herself from being devastated also if Maxie and Nathan were back together. Then, Lulu hugged Spinelli telling him he is a hero, even if he didn’t end up getting the girl.

MAXIE’S HEART BELONGS TO …

At Nathan’s gravesite, Nathan and Maxie have their reunion, where they relive through a flashback their “final” moments together in the hospital before Nathan “died.” Maxie then explains her immense grief over losing him, that led her to get involved with Peter August, and even though that was a disaster, she did have a daughter because of it, Bailey Lou. She goes on to say, getting the chance to reunite with Spinelli made her happy.

Nathan wondered what that meant for the two of them. Maxie agreed that if they were to drag things out it would be harder on their children. She tells Nathan she has made her choice and that she will always love him. Cut to: later, Maxie comes home where Spinelli is there waiting for her. Maxie informs Spinelli that while she loves Nathan, that she is in love with him and he was her home. Spixie shared a kiss.

KEYS TO THE CASE

Ric is one savvy lawyer and not only does he get any charges dropped against Michael, he paints even more doubt about Chase, as ADA Turner and Dante were questioning Michael for Drew’s shooting after Drew’s key was found on his keychain. Ric explains that Wiley saw Chase with the keys. Michael gets beyond angry, Ric tells ADA Turner and Dante, that they need to let his client go, or this will all come out and both of them will probably lose their jobs.

Michael then storms into the Quartermaine kitchen, throws his keys at Chase, a massive fight ensues. Chase walks out, followed by Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton). Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) shows up and Michael asks his brother, if he once and for all believes he did not shoot Drew and Chase says he believes Michael.

NEW BEGINNINGS

Later, Ric shows up the Miller and Davis law office, and talks with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), where he gets emotional. Ric says aside from their daughter, Molly, Sonny and his kids are the only family he had. Alexis is skeptical of this new leaf, but Ric said time kidnapped in her basement made him realize how alone he’d been, He claims he has buried the hatchet with Sonny and wants some joy in his life.

At the end of the episode, ADA Turner comes to the bar for a needed drink and Sonny is there. They talk, then she exits, and then the two make out in the parking lot. Meanwhile, Lulu is also seated at a booth at the bar and in walks Nathan. They stare at each other. Will they now take their feelings for each other to a whole other level? Stay tuned.

So, are you happy Maxie chose Spinelli and not Nathan? Do you think everyone’s feelings for each other will stick? What did you think about Sonny kissing Turner? And Ric opening up to Alexis? Is anyone betting that Ric and Alexis might also hit the sheets sometime soon?

Some amazing acting on a very moving episode.

Bradford’s best work in years. The scene with Spinelli and Lulu on the couch was very touching.

What’s next for Maxie? Are we just going to have Deception stories?

I was never a big Ric Lansing fan in the past, but this time around Rick Hearst (and the writing for the character) have made me a big supporter. Having him be his most vulnerable with Alexis (of all people) was riveting.

A well deserved punch for Chase. Here’s hoping Justine isn’t falling for the dimpled Don and is playing him.

What an episode! So much emotions were poured out . I’m a Spinelli/ Maxie fan all the way and love the direction that they’re taking this long time connection and pairing so, yes, I’m extremely happy. I wouldn’t mind Lulu and Nathan as a couple but there’s always that question mark hanging- is this really Nathan? The most touching scene of the day goes to Ric and Alexis. You know what, these two are such a comedic pair that I would like to see them together once more. These actors play well off of each other- always have, always will.

Ric and Elizabeth

Rick Hearst was great I loved that scene too

Ric’s scene with Alexis stole the episode for me. I hope Maxie does stay with Spinelli, freeing up Nathan and Lulu to move forward with their new found feeling for each other.

Let the downfall of Chase begin… perhaps he deserves a bit of jail time !

Great episode, but all I have to say is Boo! Did you see the way Maxie and Nathan looked at each other? I love Maxie and Spinelli, but I LOVE Maxie and Nathan. I hope they eventually get back together. I already know why GH did this. To put Nathan and Lulu together and create drama for all of them. Maxie is going to flip out.

Agreed when it is all said & done
It will be maxie & nathan! #Naxie

I’m thrilled that Maxie realizes her future is with Spinelli. They have been off and on for years. They have finally built a beautiful, loving and secure family together. Fake Nathan cannot compete.

I hope Ric is on the level and this isn’t just a long con. Molly should have a father she doesn’t have to constantly apologize for. But, I don’t want him with Elizabeth. She definitely deserves better.

Glad Maxie chose Spenille

I’m also glad that Maxie chose Spinelli, and I’m SOOO glad that they didn’t drag it out for weeks, with Maxie wringing her hands in indecision! I also didn’t see or feel the same chemistry that Maxie and Nathan USED to have when he was on before. Even with them reminiscing, it was just blank. No love, no steam, not nothing. Their spark is gone.

And rather than Lulu and Nathan getting together right away, maybe they should just spend time together, and let MAXIE notice that they might be good for each other. That way, it won’t look like they’ve been making googly eyes at each other for the last 6 months!

Ric and Alexis stole the episode that day, and I expected nothing less from these two!

As a side note, GO Wiley!! And I cannot WAIT until Chase finds out that Willow really DID shoot Drew! Woohoo!!

I think general hospital has lost their Damm minds…I can’t believe they chose SPINELLIS STUPID ASS OVER NATHAN…SHITTT…

Kristen Storms was just fantastic I love her!

Exceptional episode! Thanks writers, actors, directors ❤️

Finn Carr, Kayden Brenna Tokarski

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.

Laura Wright

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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Willow Feels The Effects of Jacinda’s Drugs; Josslyn Find Out She’s CEO of Jasper Jacks Enterprises

Willow

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. But first for some clues, take a look at the General Hospital preview that aired for Monday’s August 10th episode during the closing of today’s GH.
