In the slap heard all around General Hospital, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Lucas (Van Hansis) get into a heated argument over Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), and Wiley and Amelia on Tuesday’s August 12 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. The moment came after Willow thanked Lucas for coming to her aid, when Drew showed up at the nurses’ hub at the hospital and tried to speak to her.

At that time, Lucas told Drew to leave the hospital and not harass Willow during her work hours. Later in the break room, Willow comes to tell Lucas ‘thank you’ for helping her with Drew, but Lucas is not having it. He doesn’t understand why she is still even speaking with Drew after finding out what he did at their wedding and leaving him at the altar.

Next, Willow accuses him of policing her so he can report back to Michael (Rory Gibson) and Carly (Laura Wright). Lucas goes in on Willow for not putting her kids’ needs above her own. Things get testy because Lucas also had Wiley ripped from him, when he found out Brad lied to him, and Wiley was not his child. Willow tells Lucas she sees Drew for who he is now but Lucas says she should have walked away from him at work. Things reach a boiling point for  and she bitch-slaps Lucas in the face. Afterwards, the two look horrified!

Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) took Scout (Cosette Abinante) from summer camp and brought her to the Quartermaines, because his sister is missing the Q side of the family and Danny and Rocco (Finn Carr). Once Drew gets a call that Scout is not at summer camp, he arrives at the Q’s, where Jason (Steve Burton), Danny and now Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) are at, and goes in on Danny, in fact, Chase (Josh Swickard) shows up, and Drew tells the officer to arrest Danny Morgan.

Back at the Four Poppies Resort, after playing husband and wife (and Josslyn flashing back to all the flirty moments with Vaughan), she comes upon him at the pool with his shirt off and a brunette lounging next to him. When Vaughan (Bryce Durfee) starts to apply sunscreen to her back, the woman is now facing towards Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy) direction, and she can see in plain view that it a very much alive Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), and is left in shock.

So, what did you think of Willow slapping Lucas? Did he deserve it? How far will Drew take his ‘charges’ against Danny for taking Scout? And now that it’s clear Josslyn has developed feelings for Vaughan, are you on-board with them as a romantic couple? Comment below. But first, check out the scenes between Joss and Vaughan.

If I were Lucas, I would have Willow arrested for assault. Period.

That’s what needs to happen

At the very least, he should report her to management. Smacking a coworker (a doctor no less) on duty at a hospital. In the middle of a custody battle. She’s toast.

What would be great is if someone impartial (like Terry or Amy) walked in when Willow slapped Lucas. She wouldn’t see her kids until high school graduation.

Drew is a heel, but CM is playing him perfectly. Asher is getting more comfortable in the role of Danny.

Agree with all you said, but especially Drew/CM. We’re supposed to hate him. We’re supposed to loath the things he does. Is it ridiculous how he instructs people to arrest people. Of course, it’s a soap. I hope Drew does tone it down some, but he needs to be a long term pain in the you know what. And he needs to be shot. Not killed, but shot so there can be a “Who shot Drew” story. I mean the number of suspects would be about 30! That being said, I’d only want this if the writers can write a good story where the police are smart and not bumbling morons. And the trial is quasi believable.

I suspect Drew is going to be Dragon Chow by Labor Day. Not only is he going out of his way to give every mortal in Port Charles a reason to kill him, but it just fits the pattern of GH recently, where they don’t bring another major contract role on, without losing one first.

As we most recently saw with Sasha relocating to France, with Britt being paroled from Hell and showing up at the Paris airport literally the same day.

And now we have this newly formed “Legion of Dumb”. With Sidwell, the Nutty Professor, Britt herself, and now apparently Brennan’s French WSB sidekick all working for the same unseen boss. He’s going to have to show up eventually. And I’m predicting it’s going to be the same day Drew arrives in Hell. Which means very soon.

As to the identity of this unseen “boss”?? Well, all signs seem to be pointing to Victor Cassadine. And I’m sorry to say, that he seems to have gone AWOL since he was last known to be on vacation at the Cassadine family cabin in the mountains near the Lake of Fire.

Those eternally damned Cassadines and their security breaches! What’s a Devil supposed to do about that??

Right? Where is Amy when you need her? That would have been perfect if Amy had witnessed that. The whole town would have heard about it within an hour.

Took me a moment thinking Amy who…then I remembered the Amy we only seem to see when it is the nurse’s ball week.

I like Drew. He’s nice.

the bitch slap was well deserved and so soapy, loved it, love both characters so I’m not picking sides but Lucas had it coming, he’s been extra lately.

Yet if he bitch slapped Willow, he could be arrested for assault and battery. I disagree that he had it coming. Yes, he triggered her with the truth ( she put her own needs before the needs of her children& she’s addicted to Drew) but she could have fought back using her words. Her slapping him only validated his accusations. I love this version of Lucas. He’s been the truth teller of Port Charles lately, telling Carly, Sonny, and now Willow, the truth about their destructive pattern of behaviors. I find it to be refreshing.

I have to respectfully disagree. He may have overstepped a little with some of his tone and some wording, but he didn’t deserve the slap. He wasn’t incorrect in what he was conveying. It’s unfortunate it happened at work, but Willow shouldn’t have followed him into the break room. She should have just returned to the nurse’s station when Drew left. Lucas should not have approached Drew and Willow either. He should just leave her alone to her own self sabotage.

Yeah. He’s been “ extra” all right. EXTRA GOOD! Gotta love Lucas.

The Drew character has been all over the place from its beginning
I’m honestly not sure how to feel about any of this
Hoping that Alexis is able to support Scout remaining in Port Charles

In Wednesday’s episode, Drew was absolutely wretched. I too hope Alexis takes him to court and wins. Speaking of other court matters: Marco has lost points with me running to his Dad with intel about Willow.

Lucas deserved the slap. He and Lulu are peas in a pod. When did Spencers become moralizing busybodies? It’s not believable that Lucas and Lulu would be so preachy and rigid, and it’s making these two excellent recasts’ jobs harder than they need to be.

Hypothetically speaking about fictional characters just for fun…wink, wink: Two Spencers who have deserved their smacks are Lulu and Carly. Lucas hasn’t earned any smacks yet in my opinion. A non-Spencer who deserves the bleep smacked out of him daily is Drew.

Great response, Carrie. I do not like the phrasing,” deserve the slap.” Physical violence is never the answer and if the genders were reversed, you can bet Lucas would be in big trouble. While I love Nina and despise Carly, I did not like it when Nina slapped the hell out of Carly.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

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

Published

By

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.
