GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Cyrus Be Successful in Ending the Life of Michael Corinthos?
It has been difficult to watch the scenes featuring a badly burned Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) for several reasons all weeklong on General Hospital,
First, for those who watched the show for at least 14-plus years, they have become familiar and accustomed to Daytime Emmy-winner, Chad Duell, in the role of Michael and must be feeling a rollercoaster of emotions. After Friday’s January 10th episode, fans are left pondering is GH actually killing-off the character, or sending him away to a longterm burn facility to facilitate Duell’s exit?
In addition to the on-screen drama, viewer discretion was advised by the ABC soap opera. The timing of the fire and burn storyline landed right in the middle of Los Angeles County battling the worst wildfires in its history, which has caused lives, homes and displacement of so many people, with two of its most deadly fires nowhere near 100% contained.

With that said, Friday’s GH ended with a harrowing moment. As Michael fights for his life, while heavily sedated due to the pain from burns on 40 percent of his body, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) has SOMEHOW ONCE AGAIN snuck into another hospital room in surgical scrubs. This time Michael’s.
He takes off his surgical mask, and with tears in his eyes says to Michael, “I know you’re in terrible pain, Michael, but your suffering will soon be over. You will soon be at peace. God will call you home.” As he prepares to inject Michael’s IV with digitalis (the same drug that he killed Sam and Dex with), Cyrus says, “May your soul be surrounded by divine light.”

Now the question becomes, What is Cyrus’ motives? Does he think he is truly doing the lord’s work as a “mercy” killer? Is he just seeking revenge on everyone? We understood why he would kill Dex, as he could have implicated him in Sam’s death, but why this?
Earlier in the episode, Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) learns of Michael’s condition and runs to GH. Jason (Steve Burton) finds her weeping outside Michael’s hospital room. Sasha says she and Michael never had a proper break-up, and her love for him has always been there. She says Michael has stood by her numerous times, and he’s such a good man. He doesn’t deserve this. Jason agrees and says Michael is “the best.” Eventually, Jason offers to take Sasha home.

Are we soon going to get Sasha admitting to Jason she is pregnant with Michael’s child, setting up Jason pretending to be the baby daddy? Will Michael survive Cyrus and somehow communicate to Jason to take care of Sasha and his baby, if he is taken to a longterm care burn facility? Stay tuned.
As for Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), looks like she is going full villain-mode or is she? After Drew (Cameron Mathison) fills her in on how she legally has Michael’s medical proxy, he suggest this is the way she can fight Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly (Laura Wright) over taking the kids from her by denying them access to their son. Drew says it’s Sonny and Carly she’s up against now, not Michael, and this could be her only leverage.

Later in the episode, as Carly and Sonny discuss with Portia (Brook Kerr) longterm burn treatment centers for Michael, Willow shows up and interrupts saying she will be in charge of all medical decisions for Michael going forward as Drew and Nina (Cynthia Watros) look on.
Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure) is leaving bread crumbs for Josslyn (Eden McCoy) to lead her to Cyrus being the one who stabbed Dex in the back at Rice Plaza. He forwarded her a witness list. Jack suggests she talk to the witnesses and piece together what happened and Joss starts with Felicia (Kristina Wagner). As Felicia tries to recall that night, an elevator dings at the hospital. Felicia says,” The bell, that’s it!” She remembers the bell Cyrus was ringing in his hand stopped when Dex was stabbed.

Elswhere, Lucy (Lynn Herring) is making small talk with Sidwell (Carlo Rota) at Bobbie’s after his purchase of Wyndemere. She keeps mentioning the Spencer family, which piques Sidwell’s interest. Is he the person who set the explosion in Sonny’s penthouse, or if not, whodunit?
Now weigh-in: Will Cyrus get caught trying to kill Michael thus ending his reign of terror? If Michael is saved, will he be sent away by Willow to a longterm medical care facility so she can have full custody of Wiley and Amelia? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
Going to write out a great character and actor with a lame storyline, this is the new GH.
The actor wants to be written off. Cyrus isn’t killing him. He’ll go offscreen to heal. And eventually CD will return or the character will have plastic surgery and a new actor will take over. I agree there are plenty of lame storylines, but I don’t see why this one is.
I mean Jeff Kober/Cyrus
It’s Not Lame, Just Don’t Kill Michael’s Character Off…Even If You Change Actors, He’s Got Lots Of Story Lines….
When All My Children started killing a lot of characters the story ended. I cried so much I hope this doesn’t happen with General Hospital
A Devil’s prediction:
Cyrus will be here in Hell very soon. And Joss will be the one who sends him here, with that .38 revolver she found in Dex’s apartment.
Hope she knows about that 55 gallon drum of acid that Jason keeps in the coffee warehouse when it’s time to ditch the gun
Good idea Satan, but I’d rather see Cyrus taking a bath in that acid, maybe it’d wash away some of his evil scum.
A good swim in the Lake of Fire will take care of that.
Thanks, also been wondering where and how the sick S.O.B gets his never ending digitalis supply, must be pretty expensive. Sure hope it isn’t someone at GH.
He is rich, can afford to pay for it.
Well, Cyrus claims that he followed my old friend JC’s advice to sell all of his possessions and give the money to the poor.
But that was probably about as real as his other “religious” claims. And all of his drug money is stashed in a Cayman Islands account or something similar.
I don’t think so; I think it’ll be caught in enough time, but it’ll cause a long-term coma, which will result in Michael returning to the Manhattan facility he was in when he got shot in 2008.
what the hell is wrong with the writer of general hospital they keep making mistakes first they got rid of sam now they are turning one of the best actor to com along in a long time its makes me sick jeff kober is a gem i just dont understand please get rid of writers and get new ones
Maybe you should apply for the job and see how easy it is.
I tried but I couldn’t find it on Indeed.com.
No, Michael will be saved by Isaiah and Lucas when they guess Michael was given digitalis. They will give him something to counteract the drug, but Michael will still head off to a burn clinic for long term care. Cyrus will not be caught this time. He will still try to kill again before he’s stopped.
I wonder if Sidwell is working with Valentin to take down Sonny since the bomb used was designed by the WSB. Also, could Sidwell be related to the Cassadines? I assume his interest in the Spencers is related to Lucky, but it could also be related to the Spencer and Cassadine history.
My theory is that Sidwell was written tn as a substitute for Lorenzo Alcazar. Clearly all of that “Pikeman” stuff from a few months ago was leading up to an Alcazar return, but for whatever reasons, they couldn’t make an agreement with Ted King to close to deal.
At one point, this Devil even said that Alcazar would be the one buying Wyndemere, because a literal castle on its own island would be the perfect home for an international fugitive felon who was paranoid about his own security. And now, Sidwell shows up, buys Wyndemere, and seems the most likely suspect to have bombed Sonny’s penthouse, even though he’s had no “business dealings” with Sonny… as far as we know.
It all adds up to somebody taking some scripts they had stored in a file on their laptop and doing a search and replace with “Sidwell” instead of “Alcazar”.
I really wish your theory could have come to its fruition. The return of Alcazar would have been riveting. Oh well, at least we got Ric back.
Ric…the man I love to hate…I wonder if he and Ava will get together?
I could sure see him and Victor in cahoots!
I hope Michael changed the proxy,Willow don’t deserve Nothing. How can a woman take her child with her to have sex in the next room? I hope Michael changed his will & proxy leaving Willow with nothing. She isnt a real wife. She will continue her Cult ways, sleeping with different men.
I am disappointed that we are still seeing this Cyrus Renault.He is totally disgusting. Killing off cast members. Do not kill Michael at all.
.
I love Michael. I hope they don’t kill him all but Willow is turning into a real witch listening to Drew. He’s a real jerk.
Drew is showing his true colors!!! I could never see the original Drew doing these things!!! And I Willow she had EVERYTHING and she doesn’t even act as if she even cares about Michael!
Willow needs to find out her mother slept with Drew.
I think Willow is a b . She needs to know that her no good mother slept with Drew. So she can stop her relationship with both of them
Is there any hospital in this country where someone can just walk in off the street without checking in at a visitor desk?
Yes, this show stretches reality a lot, but how does Cyrus get in unnoticed?
Was worried about Felicia for a bit, but it looks like she won’t be in Cy’s crosshairs after recounting her story to Joss.
The way I understood this thing with Cyrus was that he had easy access because of his praying and visiting the patients, come and go as he wanted to than all of a sudden, Portia gives him his walking papers, adios, do not come back, not welcomed, etc. What I had a hard job understanding was how could any convicted killer be let in to administer to patients in the first place, I sure wouldn’t want or let him in to my room. The whole thing with Cyrus is just a farce, will be glad to see the end of him, no matter hiw good an actor he is. The same with C.M/Drew. I feel sorry for his plight but can’t stand seeing him on screen anymore. I KNOW it’s not fair or reasonable but I just cant help it. They play their parts too well!
Yes here in Illinois. You don’t have to know anyone and can walk right in. Terrible medical here in Illinois
Michael/Chad Duell is leaving regardless of what the means are. Why does that pig, Cyrus have to be the one behind it? I’m so sick of him, so many good people leaving and he still remains, killing off whomever he feels like.
Cyrus and his constant bible thumping are really tiresome.
As a pastor myself, I completely agree. Even when his character was being portrayed as a “real believer”, it was shallow and cliche. I believe people can change and be converted in real life, and there’s a real difference. But, beyond being on a tv show, his portrayal always felt like there was some ulterior motive behind it.
I’ve been waiting for Cyrus to go away again. Interested to see what happens…
Please have somebody take Cyrus away. Tired of him.
The fact that three people have died at the hospital under suspicious circumstances, and they wouldn’t have extra security or police on duty, allowing people like Cyrus to roam the halls and wander in and out of patient room as he pleases, really stretches the bounds of reality and common sense.
Jeff Kober has had a good run on the show since 2020. He’s lasted a lot longer than I’m sure he or the show originally planned. It’s just a shame he’s gonna end up going out like many of the other great villains in GH history, and with a poorly written story that has plot holes you can drive an 18 wheeler through.
I do like the hints of Sidwell and Lucy, reminds me of Lucy with Damian Smith many moons ago. She’s always had a habit of being attracted to the bad boys. Always glad to see Lynn Herring back on screen, and I would imagine she’s grateful for having work to help take her mind off the recent loss of her husband.
I believe the wrong bag was injected. When the Willow moves him to offsite treatment, this actually saves Michael unknowingly.
I think Jason is going to take Michael’s death and move him to a private burn unit and only Carly will know.
I THINK GH FINALLY HAS SOME GRATE ACTION GOING ON. ITS A SOAP SO THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT JUICY AND THE WRITERS ARE DOING GREAT. THAT’S WHAT KEEPS ME WATCHING IT. NO I DONT LIKE DREW AND WILLOW TOGETHER EITHER. HE IS OLD ENOUGH TO BE HER DAD. HOWEVER WHEN SHE FINDS OUT THAT NINA AND DREW HAVE BEEN SLEEPING TOGETHER, SHE WILL HATE HERSELF FOR THROWING HER MARRIAGE AWAY. WE WILL HALF TO SEE WHAT REALLY HAPPENS TO HER AND MICHAEL REMEMBER THEY HAVEN’T EVEN TALKED TO ONE OTHER BECAUSE YOU HAVE NINA RUNNING WILLOW LIFE. ALSO WILLOW WAS IN A CULT WITH DAWN OF DAY SO, SHE CAN BE MANIPULATED VERY EASY.
First-off, it’s “great” not “grate”.
Secondly, DO YOU HAVE TO SHOUT IN YOUR RESPONSE?!
Jesus, shut up.
Yes, it does GREAT on one’s nerves.
I really wish somebody from GH would exsplain all this mess that they are making of GH so many fans r upset with our great actors leaving us Sam Dex now Michael at this rate soon none of our good ones will be lefts why GH ♀️
Michael Should Go To The Burn Unit And COME BACK!!! For His Children From Willow, She’s Really Got Issues… Easily Sleeps Around And Parenting….Take Your Child To Your Lovers Hotel In Another State!!Willows Decisions Now, Especially If She Keeps His Parents From Their SON AND GRANDCHILDREN…. SHE Is Just What Josselyn Said…A Cheater With No Morals…Chase Was Her Rescuer From Dawn Of Day….But Slept With Michael, Falling for Him When He Realized Her Baby Died And Was Switched With His Son…That She Gave Away For Adoption,. Then The Ultimate Slept With Her Husbands Uncle….Drama (Lots Of Story Lines) Michael’s Character MUST COME BACK…. THEY GOTTA LOT…AND FIND OUT WHO’S TRYING TO KILL His Father!! SONNY
Marilyn, how does Willow manage to sleep around but still walk the holy ground like a smug church lady clutching her pearls? She’s quite the little multitasker, that gal!
Michael shouldn’t die and this way he can come back. Cyrus should get caught and Willow should find out about Nina sleeping with Drew, so she will quit siding with Drew as a Great Guy
I used to like Willow and Drew, but I don’t like him. She’s a real bitch where she’s treating Michael. She’s the one who slept with Drew before Michael did anything wrong.
And Michael was literally the perfect husband for her. She freaking had it made all she had to do was appreciate what she had!!! Who sleeps with their husbands uncle?? Oh Willow!
Willow do you care about Michael he didn’t see his kids at Christmas drew did are she going to have drew act as daddy to his kid she will send Michael away to be with drew
Someone should lock Cyrus and Drew in a room together so they can ruin each other instead.

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.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
