And so it begins … the exit storyline for Kelly Monaco (Sam) got underway, just how it all unfolds is yet to be determined, but on the Tuesday, October 15th episode of General Hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) learns some startling news. The hospital has located a donor match to save Lulu.

Elizabeth tells Laura (Genie Francis) who is sitting vigil by Lulu’s bedside the good news. They have located a match, and of course, they will need to run a second battery of labs, if the potential donor agrees to the liver transplant procedure to save Lulu’s life.

Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) visits with Elizabeth, and their talk turns to Lucky’s (Jonathan Jackson) whereabouts and his desire to run from Port Charles, yet again. Next, Isaiah tells Elizabeth he understands where Lucky is at, in fact, Isaiah walked away from his own medical practice after a surgery he performed went south. So, he ran out of the country, as well. Elizabeth points out that he worked in refugees camps; saving people’s lives. Isiah confesses he should never have run away and that he also think it’s a good idea for Lucky to stay put where he is needed.

Next, Elizabeth learns the identify of the donor match and later we see Sam getting a call from GH while at the batting cage with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna). She thinks it’s about Kristina (Kate Mansi). When she gets to the hospital to meet Terry (Cassandra James), the co-chief of staff tells her there is something they need to discuss. They have found a match for Lulu. Sam thinks that great, but that she should be telling this to Dante. That’s when Terry levels the news to Sam that she, is in fact, the donor match everyone has been praying for leaving Sam shell-shocked.

And wouldn’t you know! At the same time, Isaiah is visiting with Lulu, Elizabeth hears monitors and alarms going off in Lulu’s room from the nurses’ hub. Dante is not far behind and stands at the doorway distraught, while Elizabeth and Isaiah spring into action to try to stabilize Lulu.

At the Quartermaines, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) gets a text that Finn is being released from rehab, Willow (Katelyn McMullen) who is with her thinks that’s great news for Violet (Jophielle Love), but Brook Lynn feels twinges of jealousy that if Finn comes home, he will take Violet from her and Chase (Josh Swickard).

Things are not looking good for Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow, now that Ned  (Wally Kurth) is out to bring their feelings for each other to light for his own ELQ gain. So, what’s a Quartermaine to do? Hire that private eye friend of Felicia’s (Kristina Wagner) named Elaine, the same woman who has been slinking around Port Charles with her dog to trip up Carly (Laura Wright).

So, what did you think of how the stage is set to have to save Lulu STAT? Will Sam get rushed to surgery to get Lulu a new liver? Share your thoughts in the comment section below. But first, check out the scenes between Dante and Sam before she gets the call to head to GH and learn she is Lulu’s donor match.

I had a feeling Sam would be Lulu’s donor after they killed her off, but I didn’t expect her to die in surgery.

Agreed! I thought it would be more likely an accident. They sure have saved Dominic’s character a lot of grief by this.

How in the world is this going to save Dante a lot of grief?! It’s going to break him beyond repair!

Agree

Exactly- I guess she’s going to die during surgery or afterwards she want heal!

I’ll wait to see how it all plays out, but it seems like a weak storyline exit for Sam. Long term characters typically go out with weeks of key scenes or an amazing deathbed scene. Despite the many issues with Guza – he wrote strong exits for Tony and Alan. Tony (who had been pushed to the far back burner for years) got to play Lucas’ coming out scene and “saw BJ” in his final moments.

Sam seems to be going out with a whimper. We’ll see how that plays out in the days ahead.

I just wish that sam didn’t have to go that fast and Jason is going to be devastated and so would danny and Dante and also rocko least not forget about her mom and her sister’s

Kelly’s exit is pure insanity. Frank V has it out for her. He needs to be fired. The storyline dictation is leading to unimaginable things. Sonny shooting Jagger in cold blood, is just sickening, and now Sam of all of PC, is Lulu’s donor? He is destroying GH just like he did his other soaps. Get rid of him now.

Exactly! There’s no rhyme or reason to exit this awesome character. She’s been with this show as a staple for many years. She and Dante are a breath of fresh air in the middle of the dark storyline. Bad bad decision!

She sure have been a long time ago. She is the worst actress General Hospital ever had.
Maybe Lulu will have another chance with Dante before he leaves. Maybe they will keep him on General Hospital and Dante and Lulu will get back tohether

She is the best actress on GH maybe they should mix up the test and then miss Goodie two shoes Elizabeth can get the boot she is the worst on GH

i agree eizabeth character is so boring! i will miss the K Monaco.

Rebecca is an outstanding talent who the writers of General Hospital ruined. She had off the charts chemistry and connection with Jason that withstood time and every situation. Obviously SOD recognized them as a super couple to put them on the front of the special edition and they were #20. She was great in the late 90s and early to mid 2000s. I love Sam with Dante the blended family they built. GH is making a big mistake.

Hilarious!!

Okay I must have slept for that info that Dominic Zamprogna, Dante is leaving also, wow.

I agree with you. It doesn’t make sense to me either.

Sam spark is gone

GH needs to get rid of Frank Valentini. He is ruining it. the storyline dictation of sunny shooting Jagger in cold. Blood is ridiculous, and now Sam being Lulu‘s donor??? He’s just out for blood, and he needs to be gone. FIRE FRANK V NOW! It seems very fishy to me, he’s firing someone who has been on the soap for 21 years. I think she knows he’s to blame for BM’s death.

Blaming Frank for Kelly being dismissed or the direction the show is taking is an okay reaction. What’s not okay is blaming him for someone’s real life death. Billy sadly was dealing

He must be gay 3 storyline opened in one week overkill and getting rid of Sam! GO WOKE GO BROKE

Your response makes absolutely no sense.

(Continued) Billy was sadly dealing with severe bouts of mental illness. Blaming – or even accusing – Frank of being responsible is reckless and uncalled for.

I think it’s not right. Sam has been there for forever, and now she has to leave to save a woman that’s been gone for four years? Why couldn’t the writers just leave Sam and Dante alone? Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to have a happily ever after on a soap.

So true I can’t stand frank,they all kiss his ass. Finn is coming back,I guess he’s not fired. That’s great

As far as we know he’s not coming back. His reunion with Violet will happen off screen or will be a recast. Pretty sure Easton not coming back.

Agree

I agree with you. In fact, Sam has to stay.

She will die after transplant

I think it’s terrible that Kelly Monaco was fired. The writing has been terrible, Frank Valentin has to wake up before they destroy GH. Of all the family that Lulu has someone who is not related is a match? That is so unlikely. So now we all know how Sam dies, she dies giving her boyfriend’s ex-wife her liver. So now what happens to Sam’s children?

She needs to be out let her leave yes feel bad for her kids but the Dad’s have to stand up to the plate and take care of them and this Jagger thing get over it already he is dead thank God get rid of Kristina, Ava, and Rick, and many more you brought in the lady with the stupid dog why is she here no reason Nad is another one there is too many simply people on the show gogogo let them leave

Yes so true and well said

Well said, Angela.
It doesn’t make sense to me at all.

So Ned hired a P.I to catch Willow and Drew…and bring this to the open at a later date ….(Like in February or nx year ..storyline lingers once again)and puts it out there to either blackmail Drew or throw this about his wife to Michael in what his “uncle” and wife have been hiding for a long while now….NES is so conniving and so dirty when he wants to …To get control…l would’ve thought this story would have come out sooner than later….but as always soaps writers make it unpredictable

Ned is probably next to go from this great writer

I always knew Sam McCall would be a match. Since it has been announced that she is permanently leaving the show.

Hope Lulu awakes without surgery and learn that Sam was the only match. Look forward to Sam, Lulu, and Dante love triangle. Exciting

Not gonna happen. I would have liked the triangle also. Frank is now and has been for awhile GH’s problem. Would love to see him fired

Keep Sam after she give Lulu a kidney. Don’t let her go, you have to think about her kids how hurt they will be. Keep Sam or replace her character.

Exactly! It’s the perfect solution. No harm, No fowl!

Keep Sam she don’t deserve this

Sam gonna die on the table.????

Frank and these writers are trying to have their BJ moment and its not gonna happen, this is one of the worst decision by a show in years, I just don’t see how they think this is much see tv, I don’t even wanna see Lulu come back, Lucky returned is dull, and can someone get rid of Drew, this character is just unpleasant to watch, they should kill him off.

So, to match the BJ moment, will they have Dante put his ear next to Lulu’s chest and listen to her newly implanted liver once it is transplanted from Sam?

They don’t need to kill Drew off. He’s getting elected to Congress, so that exit has pretty much been written already. Just send him to DC and leave him there. And send Nina with him.

Yes Nina ,Drew, and Ned needs to go i thought Laura brother Cyrus would be Lulu’s donner. I have been watching this story for over 30 years i need for them to stop letting go the OG’s go they need to keep Sam ,
Jason,Sonny, and Carly and the other regular from back when. They are why I watch this story everyday . The love Sam and Jason had for each other they need to get back together Sonny and Carly need to stay together, and Dontae and Lulu need to be together. Jason do not need to even think about Anna that doesn’t even look good at all.The new comers need to bounce around for their person and scandals.

Agree

Why mess Michael and Willow love up don’t make sense

Sam and Dante has no chemistry not like he did with LuLu she is leaving kill her off tell Dante and his son she will save there mom not knowing she will die off the show don’t bring another Sam on if your firer Sam don’t replace her wrong move writers you need to replace so many people now they bring it the lady with the dog really what is wrong with you people Nat needs to leave the show too he is so boring trying to see if Drew and Willow is having a fair its crazy Willow is wrong Michael has stood by her 100 % and now she wants to cheat on him how stupid is that again the writers are scewed in the head they all need to be fired put new in fix GH before it be done

Yeah.I don’t watch anymore,show not good anymore need new writers

It is October full of TRICKS. I think Sam is going to die from surgery but I think when she passes she is going to link up to our favorite vampire, Caleb and they walk off together. I think it was too coincidental for Michael Easton to be canned as well. In addition it was said Finn is done with rehab. The pieces are falling into place. It is Halloween of course. Mayb I should write for them! Happy Halloween!

I knew it. Sam’s going to donate part of her Liver, to save LuLu. Then she’ll have complications and Die. Dante will feel so Devestated & guilty. Then Kristina will have a Nervous Breakdown an be committed to Ferncliff.

Just don’t kill off Sam…. Leave an opportunity for her to return

Yes, please

Okay call me crass, but why are we getting a liver transplant for someone who has been in a coma for years. Will it improve her way of life?

They will make her die during the transplant or after goes into cardiac arrest

Sam’s scenes from 8-26 to present make NO sense. She agreed to get tested on 8-26. Acted clueless when tery called her regarding the results and looked totally shell shocked that she was lulu’s living donor match on 10-15. Today 10-16 terry discusses the procedure, risks, and consent for the second round of testing. Sam told terry to not tell Dante that she’s a match bc she didn’t want to give him false hope. Next scene she runs into lulu’s hospital room and tells Dante she is Lulu’s match. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE END THIS CRAP NOW. How does sam go from being the living donor to the deceased donor by a miid November or sooner air date? Kelly’s final film date was September 27 and she found out Sam was being killed off August 26 again none of it makes sense. Can’t wait to hear Kelly’s side of things and why she keeps using the word “retaliation” as to why she was fired.

Writers, it’s wonderful that yall are letting Sam save Lulu, but Please don’t kill Sam (Kelly Monaco)off the show. The thought of yall killing Sam off is so heartbreaking. Please Please Please! Writers, please find a way to keep her.

I think Sam does on the table

Don’t kill off Sam, get rid of Drew and leave Willow and Michael alone. Get rid of lady with dog. Kristina needs to stop thinking of the lost baby as her daughter. Find a way to show Sonny wasn’t the one who killed Jagger. Have Jagger not be dead. Sonny and Carley belong together.

I think they’re doing one too many changes all at once, just to get views and I wonder if it’s helping. I would love for Sam to stay, but they’re putting her out the way when they could just put her and Jason back together instead of trying to put him with Anna that’s disgusting he dated her daughter!!?? Poor Sam all of her men get taken away by someone from the past…..#Jason #Sam #❤️❤️❤️

So many other characters that are inessential with weak or no storylines … Portia especially, Brad, Sasha and Cody, TJ, Dex, Lucy … and what an anti climatic ending if she dies giving up part of her liver …

I really hope they do not kill Sam from complications of her donating part of her liver. This would be reckless because it could impact people in the real world. Yes, I know that it happens in the real world but they need to use their platform in a positive way to help the Donor program.

Super irresponsible storytelling! They promote organ donation and then kill the donor? Shame on the writers. I hate this almost as much as I hated the Willow Leukemia story. A year later it’s as if it never happened. The reality is Willow waited too long for a full recovery with zero repercussions. Tell the reality story.

Sorry for Kelly but she had been unhappy there for a long time move on get the past behind you it’s a new day

I think it’s going to be the saddest thing, poor Dante out of all people… Just think about it!!!

the writing is very bad right now – the writers are going for sensationalism. ie: how many times did we have to see poor Christina falling into the pool? Why was Blaze let go? I enjoyed the storyline

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

Published

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’

Published

on

By

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.

Published

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.
