GENERAL HOSPITAL: Violet Shares Emotional Goodbyes; Lucky Begs Isaiah to Save Lulu
On the Monday, October 21st episode of General Hospital, you may have needed the hankies, as Violet (Jophielle Love) said her goodbyes to the Q clan as she heads to Seattle to be with her dad, Finn, who after getting out of rehab has found a job there.
The sad goodbyes begin when Tracy (Jane Elliot) arranges a final tea party for Violet, since her plane is delayed. Now sitting in the living rom and using Lila’s best china, Tracy tells Violet that she talked to her dad and he is very excited about their new job and their new home.
Violet says she’s excited, but she’s going to miss Tracy and everyone so much. Tracy tells Yuri to pack up the china so Violet can take it with her, but Violet tells her she needs to leave a tea cup behind for Tracy for when they video chat with each other. Later, Chase (Josh Swickard) tells Violet the car is packed and they’re ready to head out. Violet asks if they can visit grandpa Gregory’s dedicated bench before she leaves.

In the emotional high point, Violet wants to leave Bella with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) for their new baby. She wants Chase and Brook Lynn to have a girl because they were are good with them. Next, Violet whispers to Brook Lynn, “Can I tell you a secret? You’re the one I’m going to miss most.” The two hug it out leaving both Brook Lynn and Violet in tears. As they say their final goodbyes, Brook Lynn tells Violet she loves her all the way to the moon and back. Violet tells Tracy she knows this is Monica’s house, but, “you make it feel like home.” Chase exits with Violet. Tracy and Brook Lynn hug it out as they begin to cry. Once outside, Violet tells Chase that she’s ready.
At General Hospital, Laura (Genie Francis) and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) receive bad news from Terry (Cassandra James) on Lulu’s slim chance at survival from the liver transplant now that they have discovered a major complication. It seems that Lulu has developed portal vein thrombosis, which means there’s a blood clot in the vein delivering blood to the liver, and that it will have to be cleared in the surgery which, in turn, drops Lulu’s chance of survival dramatically.

Laura says without the surgery Lulu will die. Terry informs Laura and Lucky that the surgery will likely not save Lulu. Now, they have to also inform Sam of the risks, so she can make a decision if she is up to going through with the transplant surgery knowing the murky outcome. As it turns out, no one at thospital has performed a surgery under these circumstances, which in addition, decreases Lulu’s chances even more.
Lucky has an idea and finds Isaiah at the nurses station talking to Lucas (Van Hansis) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), as they are still going over how Lulu’s ventilator got messed up. Lucas is concerned for Lulu even more after checking an update on the computer system. Now in the stairwell, Lucky asks Isaiah, if he ever performed a transplant surgery on someone with portal vein thrombosis? Isaiah says he has and it worked out OK, but he has quit surgeries like this after losing another patient; which is why he wound up in Africa in the first place.

Next, Lucky’s tells Isaiah he is not asking him to save Lulu, but to just try. Lucky demands that Isaiah either tell him there’s no hope for Lulu, or to at least try to save her. Meanwhile, Laura is in the hospital chapel with Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) lamenting on the latest news on Lulu’s condition and hoping and praying that Sam (Kelly Monaco) will still agree to donate her liver, even if Lulu’s chances of survival are slim to none.
Now, Sam is telling Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Jason (Steve Burton), the fathers of her kids, that she is about to have the surgery to save Lulu. Both men say they will do whatever it takes to watch over the children while she is recuperating in the hospital. But,what will Sam do when she finds out the latest complication that could arise during the transplant for Lulu? Will she still go through with it? At the end of the episode, Lucky brings Isaiah to the chapel and tells Laura, he may have a way to save Lulu. We fade to black.
So, did you guess all along that Isaiah would be the one to operate on Lulu? What did you think of the final scenes of Jophielle Love as Violet? Will you miss her on the soap? Comment below.
Jophielle is such a wonderful young actress with real depth of emotions.
Sad to see sweet little Jophielle Love leave the show. What a bittersweet goodbye this was. Such a promising talent she is. I wish her the best. I hope they have Violet return for a holiday visit.
As soon as I heard Dr. Finn got a job in Seattle… I said, I wonder if Michael Easton will show up on Grey’s Anatomy, which is filmed on the same lot as General Hospital!! That would be wonderful for ME/Dr Finn and their fans. Be very easy for any crossovers too.
It’s not that simple to do a crossover even though both GH and Grey’s are both on ABC. GH is wholly owned and produced by ABC. Grey’s is a joint production of Shondaland, Lions Gate and Disney affiliate 20th Television. Can’t see Shonda agreeing to use a GH character- although it would be a great crossover.
GH and Grey’s share some of the same medical equipment for props.
Why can’t Brooklyn and Chase adopt her.
Gh won’t be the same with her. Don’t let her go. I love her she has such a great relationship with Tracy and Brooklyn and Chase. She is so good at making everyone feel loved, even the children.
I want Violet to STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!
So sorry to see this ” little ray of sunshine” leaving. So many lost characters in real life and in the GH storylines. A connection to the characters has been decades in the making is now lessening. Loved meeting many at the Soap Opera Weekend’s. Soaps are not what they used to be. Between all the newbies and unbelievable back stories being rewritten I am losing interest.
Agreed. And it makes me sad since I’ve loved GH since the Glory Monty days. It was a mistake to get rid of Gregory, Finn and Violet. I also think it’s a mistake to send off Curtis father and it was a mistake to send Blaze away. They have made room for this dreadful Holly/Sasha story. And the Lulu/Sam/Lucky story has been boring. As someone who loves GH legacy, I’m disappointed in how they’re being written in exchange for the above-mentioned send offs.
Violet didn’t even say bye to her aunt liz. young Johpielle as usual killed it, an unlike Lucky who drop water tears like crazy for anything at least young violet drop the tears accordingly. My vote for 2024 for most disappointing show for fans is in an GH wins there. All the people they have let go this year plus the all the returns have made it not worth it.
Good point about Elizabeth. Violet could be considered part of a legacy family (being the great granddaughter of Steve Hardy).
At some point, Aunt Elizabeth should’ve shown Violet the hospital memorial board with Dr Hardy at the top and explained the family relationship.
I remember when It was such a pleasure
and used to look forward to watching GH, for decades. Now, it’s become more like a job that I hate. Too many changes, too many storylines, usually , slowly wrapping them up or just dropping them. , favorite characters let go and new ones we could care less about. We didn’t need Rick, Natalia, LuLu, Lucas, Holly, another Robert’s surprise child, been there done that. The pleasure of watching is gone and so am I.
Jophielle is a treasure! Just reading this summary brought back tears and tissues. This special girl will have the ability to return to Port Charles anytime for major events – holidays, baby births, significant deaths, or other… GH did do a good job navigating her possible returns by having Violet stay with the Qs, establishing Violet in the Q mansion, aka Tracy’s “home” with Brook Lynn and Chase caring for her so that has provided a window for this loved character’s return, and we will most likely get a virtual tea party every once in awhile (fingers crossed).
I guess by now, Violet is with her dad. I’d read that there might be a plane crash in her future.
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
