GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ronnie’s Tea is Spiked and She Has Some Choice Words for Tracy, Willow is Carted Off, and Jordan Knows Portia is Pregnant

It’s clear that Martin (Michael E. Knight) and Ronnie (Erika Slezak) have a connection as evident by their interaction on the Monday, October 20, episode of General Hospital. In story, the Quartermaines are hosting a tea party to welcome Ronnie to Port Charles, now that she owns Monica’s house.

Martin conveniently shows up claiming he has Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) phone, which she has on her, and Stella (Vernee Watson), who is attending the get-together, invites them into the tea party. Once there, Martin is introduced to Ronnie, and there is an uneasiness given off by Monica’s supposed sister.

The camera pans to a tea cup. Later, after Martin exits, Ronnie starts to act drunk and or drugged, when Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) says she should go upstairs and lay down, Ronnie says the party was just getting started, and she puts her feet up on the coffee table as Tracy (Jane Elliot) walks in on the scene was appalled.

Tracy accused Ronnie of having a drinking problem! Ronnie says she is just relaxing, and does Tracy even know how to do that? Ronnie takes it so far as to say to Tracy: “You are uptight, frigid, and completely undersexed. You should go out and find yourself some debauched degenerate guy who will take care of that for you.” With that everyone in the room including Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) look stunned as Ronnie falls back on the couch cackling!

Also, at the tea party, Portia’s (Brook Kerr) suspicious behavior made Jordan (Tanisha Harper) conclude that her rival is pregnant. Will Portia fess up, and say that Curtis is the father of the baby (even though she doesn’t know if it’s Isaiah’s?) to drive a wedge between Curtis and Jordan from finally getting back together?

Elsewhere, in the courtroom, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is carted off to Pentonville for Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting after Nina (Cynthia Watros) recanted her statement and pled guilty to lying about her whereabouts the night the congressman was shot. Drew calls Nina “a bitch.” Willow is carted away in handcuffs as she spews that she never wants to see, or talk to her mother again as Drew promises to help Willow.

Michael (Rory Gibson), who is being questioned by Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), says he had no part in framing Willow for Drew’s shooting, but if she did it, he wouldn’t be surprised. In the Quartermaine kitchen Michael says, “Dante, if I had shot Drew, he’d be dead, and you know what? I wish I had framed Willow. I really do. Because I would make damn sure that she was found guilty, that way my children would never have to see her again.” That statement was overheard by Lucy (Lynn Herring) and Lulu.

Finally, Carly (Laura Wright), sort of, confronts Brennan (Chris McKenna) over Josslyn. He never says he recruited her daughter to be a WSB agent or fessed up to Carly. He only said he protected her from Agent Vaughan. When he leaves, Carly phones Spinelli (without Jason’s knowledge) and ask him to create a new identity for her that would hold up under a serious background check.

So, did Martin spike Ronnie’s tea or was it Tracy? If Ronnie and Martin know each other, what was their ultimate plan? Do you think Willow shot Drew? And, what is Carly going to do next? Go undercover to investigate Brennan? Share your theories via the comment section below.

Idk what the connection is between Ronnie and Martin but yesterday’s episode has me lmao during the tea party scenes!! I’m all for those kinds of episodes and Drew can climb in a dumpster as long as he takes his storyline with him!!!

What sacrificial lambs will submit against Erika in the next guest starring Emmy category? The award (which would be her 7th) was probably hers once her GH stint was announced but Monday’s episode sealed it.

Some may see elements of NIki Smith, but there are some nuances to Ronnie.

Many of the women look liked they had a hard time staying in character as the scenes were scripted with much humor. I had to rewind Ronnie curtsying to Felicia a couple of times.

Michael reminding Dante what happened the last time Dante encouraged him to tell what happened was a good nod to history.

Team Jordan – reading Portia like a book.

Love the humor running through GH as of late/ needed and appreciated. Like you, I had to rewind Ronnie curtsying to the Aztec Queen and Tracy’s amused reaction. My only complaint is I don’t want Ronnie to turn out to be a bad person.

But she is and boring, this story is stupid and the almost whole family are blind

Jordan is this show version of Phyllis absolutely sick of her character being in Everybody business

The writers have turned Jordan and Portia into immature children.

I think Carly is the one who is going to visit Val the Bastard in prison. When I saw the preview video on Monday, I knew that hair looked too dark to be Anna. So Carly in a wig with a fake ID actually makes more sense. Now how she gets into a maximum security international prison just for a “visit”? That’s entirely another question. Apparently Spinelli is going to give her one HELL of a fake identity so she can pull that off.

As far as fake sister Ronnie tripping balls on the spiked tea…. remember a couple months back when Tracy was accused of drugging Dragon Chow Drew with Ketamine, and it turns out she actually did buy some of the drug – from the veteranarian to used as horse tranquilizers. Does that mean Tracy did it? Maybe. She certainly would have motive to make Ronnie look like an idiot in front of many witnesses. Don’t know why Marty would drug somebody who he’s probably working with, but yeah.. you can bet your soul that yesterday was NOT the first time he met Ronnie.

Ronnie is a hoot. A match for Tracy thats for sure.

I am so sick of pinched face Willow screaming that she hates Nina. This character has been ruined for me. There’s no going back.

Pinched face is accurate. As is weeping willow said by another commenter here the other day. I’m sick of it too.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. 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. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

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.
