Even John Oliver (Z) is impressed with WSB Agent Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy)! In the pick-up of the epic shootout aftermath, the Friday, July 3 episode of General Hospital, opened with Josslyn in her hospital room recovering from surgery from her gun shot wounds with WSB head, Z, by her bedside.

Proving she is a force to be reckoned with, Z wanted the full rundown of what transpired on the docks and proceeding it. Josslyn was able to give a full debriefing on the horrendous crimes perpetrated by Cullum, Sidwell, and Cassius. However, she also explains how Cassius saved her life. Z explained to Josslyn that: Cassius is dead (is he really though?), Sidwell was arrested, and as she knows since she shot the guy, Cullum is no longer on this earth.

Josslyn knew if the public learned that Cullum was a double agent and had deceived the agency, that it would be a very bad look for the WSB. Z wants her to keep her mouth shut, so she comes up with a plan. She will pin the blame on Cassius and claim Cullum died a hero. In return, Josslyn tells Z, “I want a full release and all charges dropped for Valentin Cassadine and Jason Morgan.” The two shook on the deal.

Later, Z is at WSB Port Charles headquarters going through Brennan’s desk and looking for files when Carly (Laura Wright) walks in to confront him. She wants her daughter out of the WSB.

LULU LEARNS THE TRUTH ABOUT “NATHAN”

Dante (Alexa Havins), Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Rocco (Finn Carr) are now back in Port Charles after learning Cullum was shot and killed. Rocco learns Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) was arrested and is in the PCPD jail, thank to his dad. Dante explains he did it to keep Britt safe. Rocco is furious with his parents.

Lulu gets an earful when she learns from Dante that “Nathan” was actually an imposter. He was Nathan’s twin brother, Cassius. Lulu is shook to her core, that she was once in a relationship and had developed feelings for her best friend’s husband come back from the dead, only he wasn’t. She realizes Nathan would have never hurt Maxie for her.

Rocco tells Lulu who is acting off, about his plans to visit Britt while she is being held at the PCPD. In the meantime, Britt is having it out with mutter at her jail cell over her choices and decisions that kept Liesl (Kathleen Gati) in the dark and so many others.

ROCCO VS. DANNY

After being interrogated at the PCPD by a returning Agent Vaughn (Bryce Durfee), Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) goes home to ask Lulu for help with Valentin, while Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) sees Rocco sneaking out of the house. Rocco explains to Danny he has to go see Britt, and how he can’t abandon her.

Danny snipes back, “Of course not. Not after everything she’s done for you. Including lying about my dad shooting Cullum when you’re the one who pulled the trigger.” Rocco is stopped dead in his tracks. How will he respond?

So, do you think Cassius Faison is truly dead? Is this the end of the road for Ryan Paevey’s latest return to the soap? What did you think of John Oliver as Z and the deal Josslyn struck to free Jason and Valentin? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first check out the key scenes between John Oliver and Eden McCoy.

Maybe I was distracted by the happy dragons, but I didn’t see Cassius arrive, so I’m not sure he’s down here. I’ll keep an eye out for him, and keep track of the invoices from Cassadine Brothers Air Conditioning Services, because if Cassius were here, he would probably be elgible for A/C.

It’s possible that they put him in witness protection if he promised to turn “states evidence” against Sidwell. That’s what I think might be going on there.

But would he agree to take the blame for everything when he knows what it would do to his mother

Danny’s sweet but his hot headedness is awful. Z telling Joss Cassius is dead so she’ll agree to make a false statement: slimy. So I guess Carly will be the one who slaps Z. I was hoping it would be Liesl, regarding Cassius.

Because I have been watching John Oliver for over a decade, as well as catching his live stand-up twice, it was hard to watch his scenes on GH no matter how well played without cracking up, knowing how his excitable, feverish British brain works.
But he took the assignment seriously and did not mock the soap opera genre as some non-soap opera celebrities might (looking at you, James Franco).  I feel that Oliver brought some credibility to soaps and most likely boosted GH’s ratings.  My only lament is that I was looking forward to Oliver interacting with characters who are played by actors who inject a comedic flair into their performances, like Alexis, Nina, Valentin, or Jack. Laura and Eden are solid actors, but they’re not funny. Moreover, really sick of Carly’s world–why must all the exciting things gravitate toward her?
Ryan Paevy as Cassius was an unexpected surprise.  I used to think he was a wooden actor and was non-plussed to hear he was coming back. But he proved me dead wrong. Ryan’s Cassius was an interesting, deeply conflicted character, visibly fighting his internal demons while his familial attachments grew. He always had the leading man looks, but now he has the talent to match those looks. I’m not sure whether Ryan’s acting has simply become more refined or whether he finally found a more nuanced, multi-dimensional role that allowed him to fully showcase his talent. I suspect it’s a combination of both, as his screen presence feels noticeably more intense, emotionally layered, and compelling.  I do hope both Paevy and Oliver can come back to Port Charles.  That said, Alexa Havens really proved herself as a force of nature playing a mother who feels like every step she’s made since coming out of her four-year coma has been a misstep, leading her to feel more alienated from her two children and to feel somewhat undermined by both Britt and Valentin.

I love Josslyn!!

First of all, Oliver is doing quite well so far. Dare I say he’s pretty good actually.

I, too, think Cassius isn’t dead. I don’t know if really can stand seeing Liesl lose another child. If Cassius is a goner, she’d be approaching Monica territory in the dead children zone. Gati was outstanding (as always) with Mutter rightfully ripping into Britta for not trusting or leaning on her.

More fallout to come.

Can we please give a shout out to Alexa Havens? She comes out of a four year coma only to be overshadowed by Valentin and Britt courtesy of her two kids, Rocco and Charlotte. Today, Lulu seemed almost paralyzed with grief for mistakes she thinks she made in regard to her children. And her reaction upon learning that Nathan was an imposter for whom she fell for was devastating. Alexa was amazing with her emotionally compelling performance. In short, I really felt sorry for Lulu today.

Lulu has 2 ungrateful brats for children Rocco favors Britt over his own mother while Charlotte favors Valentin. But I have to defend Rocco when it comes to Danny who doesn’t seem to understand that Rocco saved his dad’s life. He’d have no father if not for Rocco’s actions. He should thank him, not blame him. All three of the young crowd get on my last nerve.

I don’t she bugs me! You don’t date your best friends ex that an unwritten code with women!

I don’t disagree but Lulu was in a coma for 4 years. She’s been shaken, she is unsure of herself and her place in the world. Dante told her he was still in love with Sam and made it clear he did not return her feelings. I’m not excusing Lulu’s actions but explaining them. I do think she has a lot of remorse.

Right!

Joss hasn’t given any thought to how painting Cullum as a hero will affect her uncle Lucas, since that would mean Marco’s death was somehow justifiable.

I think she has a plan.

Another outstanding episode. I think John Oliver is great as Z. He’s totally believable as the very top agency man forced into field action due to a massive disaster. I loved him wanting the full story from the lone surviving agent, Josslyn, before all the details are made public. Eden McCoy was perfect as Josslyn didn’t bat an eye when she laid out her terms for helping Z save face for the agency. I hope Carly does not get her way and Josslyn remains a WSB agent. She is smart, resourceful and determined. Bravo to everyone in front of and behind the camera.

They really went out of their way to prop Joss as a serious WSB agent. Carly continues to be propped as usual with John Oliver providing an assist.

I hate that part And Joss hates Sonny!!! You kill people too, now what! I’m so done with the double standards when it comes to Sonny and then when they need help who is the first person any of them go running to including the p.c.p.d!!!!

Please let Cassius come back he did amazing

Alley Mills

Heather Webber, one of the all-time villains in General Hospital history is on her way back to the canvas, when two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Alley Mills reprises the role beginning on the Thursday, November 5 episode.

TV Insider revealed the comeback news today. Mills began playing the role of Heather back in October of 2002. The previous Heathers included: Robin Mattson, Mary O’Brien and the very first Heather, who was none other than Georganne LaPiere (the half-sister of Cher).

As for Mills, she actually took home the Daytime Emmy last year at the 52nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama Series. She won in the same category back in 2022.

FROM THE WONDERS YEARS TO THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL TO GENERAL HOSPITAL

Alley Mills assumed the role of Heather Webber in October 2022 and had ended her initial run in 2023 and then was back again in 2024. Soap fans also know that Mills had played Pam Douglas on the The Bold and the Beautiful since 2006 and appeared on the series through 2019, and made appearance in story in 2021 and 2022.

On B&B, Alley was a part of the memorable storyline which saw Pam and Stephanie’s (Susan Flannery) mother, Ann Douglas (the late Betty White) pass away. In addition to GH and B&B. primetime fans know Alley as Norma Arnold, the mom of the ABC’s hit late 80s and early 90s series, The Wonder Years.

When GH viewers last saw Heather and her crime spree as The Hook, she had taken the life of Brando Corbin (the late Johnny Wactor) and what was believed at the time to be the life of Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), although a few years later, Britt showed up alive.

Heather wound up in the slammer at Pentonville, but got released in 2024, when it was revealed that she had a bad hip replacement which resulted in cobalt poisoning which was said to be the root cause of her erratic behavior.

WHAT BRINGS HEATHER WEBBER BACK INTO THE STORY?

Eventually, Heather’s son, Steven Lars (Scott Reeves) returned to Port Charles to retrieve his mother, and to make sure she was taken care for out of town. Now the question becomes, why is Heather back on the GH canvas in 2026?

One theory! Could Heather be revealed as the person stalking Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali)? After all, Heather is the mother to the late Esme Prince (Avery Pohl). Perhaps, she wants retribution for her daughter, and this is her twisted way of doing it? Or, is something else at play here? Stay tuned!

Take a look at our conversation with Alley from the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards immediately following her second Emmy win below.

Now let us know, excited to know Alley Mills is returning as Heather? What do you think will be her storyline this time around? Weigh-in via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jordan Sees Sonny and Justine Making Out, Britt and Anna Have a Chat, Valentin is Livid

General Hospital, Jordan

On the Tuesday, September 22 episode of General Hospital, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) got an earful from Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) after her proposed stunt to get damning evidence against Drew (Cameron Mathison), Anna (Finola Hughes) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had a conversation they needed to have, and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) came upon Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Justine (Nazneen Contractor) making out in the parking lot of the Brown Dog Bar.

Let’s take a closer look as the action and story that went down: First, Valentin was horrified to learn what Charlotte was plotting to get Drew to leave Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) alone. Learning that Charlotte thought that her plan to make it look as if Drew was making out with a teenage girl was a great idea, Valentin fired back. “Dammit, why can’t you admit you put your life at risk?”

Valentin firmly told his daughter that she will not have any more contact with Danny. However, Charlotte said she will see Danny at school, Valentin stated, “Not anymore.” Will Valentin put Charlotte in another high school? Send her out of town or leave town with his daughter? Stay tuned.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED

After leaving the Brown Dog Bar, Britt headed over to Aurora Wellness and had a tense confrontation with Anna, the woman who planned on killing her. Anna apologized to Britt noting she would always regret what she did and would like to smooth things over with Britt if she would let her.

Taking in Anna’s apology, Britt also apologized for not coming to Anna’s rescue sooner while Anna was locked up in Wyndemere. Anna says she understands Britt was made to believe she was dying of Huntington’s disease. However, Anna said that Cesar Faison had caused just as much long-term damage to his daughter as he has with her. That moment, leaves Britt startled.

JORDAN OFFERS AN ENDORSEMENT THEN GETS AN EYEFUL

Back at the Brown Dog, Jordan offered Justine her endorsement for the Port Charles district attorney position. Jordan even went one step further and said as much as she does not like going out in public (due to her facial scars) she would help organize a kick-off rally.

Jordan also let Justine know she will have tough competition during her DA election campaign, and for Justine not to be surprised if one of her competitors goes looking for any dirt or skeletons they can dig up on her. While Justine glances over at Sonny, who is at another table, she tells Jordan she is confident no one will find anything to use against her.

HOWEVER at the end of the episode, Sonny followed Justine into the parking lot after they had separately exited the Brown Dog Bar, where they flirted and reminisced about their first kiss in the same spot. Next thing you know, the two are making out when Jordan happens upon the scenes and is witness to their smooches. We fade to black.

Take a look at the final moments from today’s GH in a scene entitled, “Not Public Knowledge” below.

Then weigh-in, Why do you think it was Jordan who came upon Sonny and Justine’s romance? How will Jordan use the intel to her own advantage, or will she? What do you think Britt will do next? And what did you think of Charlotte’s plan to get some video on Drew to use against him to get him to leave Danny alone? Let us know in the comment section below.
