GENERAL HOSPITAL: Tracy and Sonny Lament Over Luke on His Birthday; Cates Makes a Play for Ava
You can’t get any better than Jane Elliot, and on her most recent return to General Hospital, she has been given touching scenes that show us the heart of Tracy Quartermaine against the stuff outward veneer of hers.
Now on Tuesday’s July 23rd episode of the ABC daytime drama series, Tracy is sorrowful as it is Luke’s birthday and for as we know in story, Luke is presumed dead.
Tracy talks to her son, Ned (Wally Kurth), who knows it is Luke’s birthday and comes to comfort his mother who is in the stables. She admits to Ned that without Luke, she feels like she’s barely keeping her head above water. Eventually, Ned gives Tracy a warm embrace and she thanks him for being her sounding board during this difficult time.

Later, Tracy runs into Sonny (Maurice Benard) on the street looking in the direction of where Luke’s club used to be. As they mourn look on his birthday, Tracy remembers how Luke made up his mind at a young age to take advantage opportunities that came his way. That through Luke’s harrowing past, he found some happiness. Sonny recalls his final goodbye with Luke on the docks of Port Charles, before Luke left for Amsterdam. The two agree that Luke was the all-time best.
Elsewhere, Cates (Adam J. Harrington) is showing his true disdain for Sonny, as he is obsessed on bringing him to justice and putting him behind bars. Cates is still holding a deep grudge for what happened to Karen Wexler and for his brother, Stone.

Cates comes to see Ava (Maura West). He wants information on Sonny’s criminal activities. If she wants his help with getting custody of Avery, he needs hers help in return. Ava explains she’s in a delicate situation and if she helps put Sonny away something could happen to her. Cates promises Ava that she won’t lose Avery. Next, the two share a kiss. However, its interrupted by an important call for Cates.
Meanwhile, Carly (Laura Wright), Jason (Steve Burton), Sonny (Maurice Benard), Anna (Finola Hughes) and more have had it up to here with Cates manipulations and what’s its done to their lives.
So, what did you think about Tracy remembering Luke on his birthday? Do you enjoy the performances of Jane Elliot as much as we do? Do you think Cates and Ava will end up hitting the sheets and taking down Sonny together? Comment below.
I’m really enjoying Tracy’s softer side. These last few scenes with Sonny and Cody were great. She was actually nice! I’ve always loved Jane Elliott and glad she came back.
Jane Elliott makes the show better every day that she is on it. I would have loved to have seen her and Gregory get together. Tracy is a beautiful, wealthy woman. Can we bring in someone who could go toe-to-toe with Tracy/Jane? The Daytime Emmy Awards needs to recognize her the way they recognized Suzanne Rogers this year, but I would prefer to see her get an acting nod.
The only prospect that I can see right now would be Lane Davies, the old curmudgeon lawyer that they may be thinking of pairing with Nancy Grahn, whom she was married to on Santa Barbara. I don’t like him with Nancy at all but he could be a toe to toe partner for Tracy.
So…. Veggie Lulu is getting more visits… Lucky is on his way home… Tracy & Sonny reminiscing about (the no way in Hell is he really dead) Luke on his birthday….
Could this all be pointing into a big return for the Spencer family in the coming months?
As the Mandalorian would say…. “This is the way”
The way to bring GH back to life, that is.
Geary is retired for good. Luke isn’t coming back – not even temporarily. The show has moved on.
I can’t imagine Anthony Geary would be coming out of retirement and leaving Amsterdam to return to GH at 78 years old. He’s supposedly loving his life over there. I do think they’re going to bring back Lulu, and they need to get Nikolas out of jail and bring him back, too.
Tracy sparkles. She lights up every scene she plays in. When you have a great actress anything is possible.
Jane is fantastic. I’m so happy she’s been back at GH this long.
Ugh! SO sick of the re-imagining of Tracy Quartermaine. She’s become Lila! She’s so sickeningly sweet to EVERYBODY. I miss the scheming witch on wheels that used to stir up trouble everywhere! Sure, it’s a joy to have Jane Elliott on the program again, but they’ve completely lobotomized the character.
I don’t think that was the original plan, but since Leslie Charleson’s health has declined somewhat rapidly, Tracy’s “short visit” became a long time return, and she’s evolved into the de-facto matriarch of the Quartermaine clan. And Hell only knows, they need one!
I think that it would be a bit more true to character if Olivia would become “Lila.” She’s also compassionate, but no-nonsense. Don’t get me wrong. Jane is brilliant either way. But I miss her snark. And with Rena Sofer back as Lois Cerillo, it would be even BETTER to have these two grand dames go toe-to-toe.
I think the only way Geary would return is if they let him write the story. After the exit story he was given, I wouldn’t blame him one bit.

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.
