GENERAL HOSPITAL: Z Reveals Cassius is Dead, Josslyn Strikes a Deal for the Release of Jason and Valentin
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

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive
General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!
The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup). Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …
It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris. With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”
In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.
As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.
BACK FROM THE DEAD?
After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.
So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’? Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.
In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!
Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.
This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED
When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.
In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”
When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).
Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!
So, glad to see Brad Cooper and Selina Wu back in action? Do you hope they stay for a bit? What do you think of Josslyn getting the piers? Is this how she sets out to destroy Sonny? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers for the ABC daytime drama series, and the just released video teaser, reveal that several women are in serious peril, but in very different ways.
First, Lulu (Alexa Havins) finds out that Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is suing her for libel! Looks like Willow took Chase’s (Josh Swickard) advice to fight back on these “allegations” levied by an “out-of-it “Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) who now claims everything he told Lulu in their recorded interview was a lie. However, the GH faithful viewers know what Sidwell said is true.
Willow is ready to prove her innocence to the Quartermaines too after entering their home. Will anyone be able to crack Willow and get her to admit to all she has perpetrated, but in a court of law, so she can be sentenced for some of her crimes, or will she continue to walk around Port Charles forever unscathed?

A SONNY TAKEDOWN
Meanwhile, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) wants to take down Sonny (Maurice Benard). So, she has decided to leverage being forced by the WSB to take the CEO position of her father’s company, JJE, in order to do so.
Sonny contends he has gone straight and is no longer in the mob, but try as he might, he may have to fall back into his old ways so people see the light!
Knowing Josslyn, and everyone else refuses to believe he had nothing to do with the prison beatdown of Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell, Sonny says, “If Josslyn thinks I’m gonna let her destroy me. She’s dead wrong.”
ROSES AND CAR TROUBLE
Meanwhile, looks like Trina’s stalker is amping up their obsession. Now, at her latest musical gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge, she receives a card and a bouquet of roses. The card reads, ‘From your biggest fan.”
Later, we see Trina sitting in her car having trouble getting it to start. Suddenly, there is a knock on her car window. Quinn (Jequan Jackson) is standing there with a smile on his face, and says, “Car trouble?” Trina is startled. Is Quinn just there to help out, or is something more heinous about to go down? Stay tuned.
