GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sasha Reveals to Michael That She’s Pregnant with His Child
On the first episode of the new year, General Hospital looks to be building fast to the exit of Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). In story, Michael asks Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) to meet him at Aurora where he explains the divorce, custody and legal battle that looks to be a head of him with Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and their children.
Michael explains he may need to bring to light Willow and Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) affair, but wants his one-night stand with Sasha kept mum. He explains that he believes Willow is a good mother and doesn’t want his children to see the worst side of them, like he did when his parents went into divorce-mode. Sasha promises she won’t tell anyone about their night together because she is seriously considering leaving Port Charles.
Next, Sasha finally decides to tell Michael she is pregnant and he is the father. She explains that is why, more than ever, she has to leave. Sasha plans on raising the child, after what she went through losing her chance at motherhood after baby Liam died. Michael wants to be in is child’s life, but she protests that raising a child around both sides of his family – the Q’s and the Corinthos clan – will endanger the baby’s childhood.

Sasha also makes Michael understand that him being a part of the baby’s life will not help his custody case. She wants him to trust that she’ll always do the what’s right for their child. Michael says he is not happy about it, but accepts her decision. Didn’t Michael stepping away from raising the child, seem to happen very quickly? Is Chad Duell’s departure just around the corner?
Meanwhile, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is down in the boxing ring, clutching his chest. Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) happens to arrive the gym. Once the paramedics arrive and stabilize Sonny, he asks him some pointed questions. Sonny admits he has had these chest pains prior to working out and that he was shot in the chest twenty years ago. Isaiah implores Sonny to make sure he gets checked out, because his situation can become a chronic condition with an already compromised heart. In a warning, Isaiah mentions to Sonny, if he ignores the signs and symptom he could have a heart attack or a stroke at anytime.

Sonny pushed back he can’t appear weak in his line of work and implores Isaiah to not mention this to anyone. Isaiah promises he won’t. Is GH setting up a stroke for Sonny? (Remember when Viki had a stroke on OLTL?) Something that will take the mighty mobster down, and make him the most vulnerable he has ever been and needing people’s help?
In Prague, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) get away after Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) shows up and causes a scene infuriating Lulu (Alexa Havins). We learn that the shot fired through the widow was by Colette (Mercedes Lopez Renard), who was working with Brennan (Charles Mesure). At the end of the episode, Lulu blames Dante for her one chance to bring Charlotte home with her to Port Charles causing a major rift in their relationship. Will this mishap reunite them, eventually? Or will this set the stage for Lulu to turn more to Cody (Josh Kelly)?
So, what did you think of Sasha telling Michael she’s pregnant, and his response? Are you intrigued by what might happen to Sonny? Do you want Dante and Lulu to grow closer, or Lulu and Cody to draw closer? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Is GH setting up a stroke for Sonny? (Remember when Viki had a stroke on OLTL?) Something that will take the mighty mobster down, and make him the most vulnerable he has ever been and needing people’s help?
The problem is: strokes are of the head (neurological), not primarily of the heart (cardiological). Can they be connected? Yes, but it wouldn’t be as it’s been presented.
Atrial fibrillation untreated can cause blood clots to form and ultimately lead to a heart attack or a stroke if a blood clot reaches the brain. This is known as a ischemic stroke (CVA) cerebral vascular accident. There is a definite correlation. As a healthcare professional, I was impressed with the public service aspect of atrial fibrillation being a topic of story.
So, Michael doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes of his parents when it comes to a custody fight.
Sasha, on the other hand, wants to repeat her mother’s mistake and not let her child know his biological father.
It’s a shame Monica isn’t around, because imagine the conflict if they had the former head cardiologist treat the man who caused her son’s death.
Sonny’s condition will eventually lead to Cyrus being caught. With Isiah being involved, will that mean Sonny needs a heart transplant?
So this baby… assuming they are ever born… will be a Scorpio, Quartermaine, Spencer, and Corinthos. If Sasha doesn’t move completely out of town now, the kid will have to, just to avoid committing incest!
Sigh. More awkward storytelling to force jigsaw puzzle pieces in the wrong place. As Steve pointed out, Sasha denying her child a relationship with his or her father is evocative of what Holly did to her. It’s also not character driven writing. Sasha, as we know her, would not do this! The writers are scrambling because they will not recast Michael in order to leave Chad an opportunity to come back when he’s ready( a privilege not afforded to most cast members). No offense to Chad but he ain’t that special and can easily be replaced by a talented and charismatic actor.
Here is hoping that GH will realize that Williow and Drew are disgusting. We love Michael and always will. She obviously never deserved him. Keep them in DC permanently!!! I fast forward pass Drew and Willow. !!
I also FF, don’t want to see any scenes they are in!
So do I. Can’t stand them anymore.
I am tried of the back and fourth,Recast Micheal bring back sonny strong as mob boss,Anna an Jason thats nasty. Jason and Robin are besties, I am tried waiting on Nenia and Drew fling to come to the light so they can finally get whats coming to them from Carly and Tracy. Please give Jossyn a break she needs to ginally be happy two dead boyfriends at her age that little to much.
And why is Jason and everyone aware Sam and dex were murdered at GH. For real Alexis wanted the autopsy why is she aware it’s crazy

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

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.
