General Hospital Releases Extended Promo “We Have To Lean Into Hope”
As the ABC daytime drama series, General Hospital, continues to be preempted by the impeachment hearings of President Donald Trump, and episodes are not being made available on any other platform at this time, two videos were posted in last 24 hours to the official General Hospital social media accounts.
To tide you over (while you are clamoring for all-new episodes of GH) the soap released an extended promo featuring the folks in Port Charles filled with lots of joy, hope, and love. It’s main message, “We have to lean into hope” – as the series tells us to “sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.”

Take a look at some of the reunions, hugs, and special moments featuring the Q’s, Corinthos, Cassadine and other clans in the promo below.
In addition, Finola Hughes (Anna) and Michael Easton (Finn) along with Jophielle Love (Violet) were featured in another video, where the key messaging to fans is that they are currently taping all-new episodes of GH, and that viewers should keep tuned ans posted to GH’s social channels for updates on when new episodes of GH will return.
As of late, GH has been on the upswing in the ratings, too. So, it’s always frustrating for everyone when weeks of preemptions hit the daytime viewers experience to enjoy the on-going stories of the soaps.
Let us know … your favorite moment in the GH promo … your hope for the return of all-new episodes soon, and what you hope happens next for the characters you love in Port Charles, via the comment section.

Nice.
I love this promo. It showcases the very best of General Hospital and is a testament to why I so love this legendary program. I’m happy that the show’s ratings are improving too. GH is really good right now. Long live General Hospital!!! 🙂
P.S. I enjoy it when the vintage/former opening credits are shown. It’s a nice piece of nostalgia.
Lean into hope that Peter will get his pink slip. What a useless, propped up character.
Since O’Connor took over as co-head writer, all storylines are moving along quickly, except Peter’s.
Beloved characters Anna and Maxie are not portrayed as the strong women they always have been. At least Robert and Jason haven’t drank the kook aid. Would be amusing if they have to team up with Liesl to finally bring Heinrich down.
Love Dr. O.
Never mind a storyline.
Lean into hope…. that you put the goddamned show back on the air.
I am sick of the show being preempted for the phony trial of the fake president.
Waste-this impeachment!…i need my soaps!!!
That was wonderful. I love this group of actors and characters who have been with me most of my life. I’ll “lean into hope” that GH will continue to thrive — I am loving what’s on my screen the last month.
I love this! So positive and uplifting and a good reminder of why I’ve watched this show for 45+ years. Looking forward to its return!
I am loving GH and cannot wait for it to return…
The absolute best soap of all times, love GH.
ABC is really dropping the ball big time. They knew these impeachment hearings were coming for a long time. Everyone knew. They had plenty of time to figure something out when it came to airing General Hospital. For them to have no plan and to leave GH off the air for several weeks, a month, who knows how long, is just ridiculous.
Put the episodes on overnight like they’ve done in the past, publicize it so people can update their DVR’s or whatever, put them up on the ABC website, put them up on Hulu, there any number of viable options. The fans will adapt. Soap fans are some of the most loyal in television, we will find our soaps wherever and whenever they air.
^^^^ this bears, mention;Nancy Lee Grahn AND Joe Flanagan. Hot enough to forget Alexis, no?
if it brings Neil, who is the hottest MENtion, since James Patrick Stuart’ Valentin
argh !!!!
“taken” from ; DIRTY Laundry – “…It’s worth mentioning that Neil isn’t onscreen much and doesn’t seem to be a priority for General Hospital.
There’s a chance that’ll change in 2020, but there’s also a chance they intend to scrap Neil and Alexis’ love story.”
why would they do this ???? to torture us with scenes with her tired daughters as she will be WITHout ?
I certainly do not intend to see Julian with !!!! as his sexual stamina is charged less with… yeah, for the record
so bear with; a 2020 resolution… KEEP THE BEEF REAL
meaty up his plenty
even Alexis , is calmed by AND still has that misbegotten soiree she extends forever?
I can’t believe they have no horizontal bop mention… Alexis ?
That’s really an amazing promo!!
As Sonny said at the end “Thank God for General Hospital” & for all daytime soaps still on the air.

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.

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

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.
