General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Robert Remembers Robin Is Alive! Will Anna Finally Rescue Her Daughter?
Courtesy/ABC
If ever there was a moment in soap opera history that we, the viewers, were just agonizing along with the character to get out the words that hold the key to further a story, it was on Friday’s fantastic episode of General Hospital ... and talk about your “Cliffhanger Fridays”?
On Friday’s episode, Tristan Rogers finally returned on-screen as Robert Scorpio, who came out of his coma that he has been in for so, so long! When he wakes up, Robert is disoriented and struggling to remember what happened the night he got the syringe, thanks to Dr. Obrecht, that landed him comatose in this hospital room in Switzerland. With Anna (Finola Hughes) by his side, he starts to remember the key missing bit of information from that fateful day, in an unbelievable performance by Rogers! He tells Anna, “Obrecht was there alright. But she wasn’t alone.” Anna asks, “Alright, who was she with?” Robert in near tears and hysterics bursts out with, “She was with our daughter! She was with Robin, Anna!” And then we fade to black till Monday!
But what made this all the more delicious was that in scenes prior, Dr Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), who is basically tormenting her captor, Robin Scorpio Drake (Kimberly McCullough), all but said to her that Robert will never remember that he saw Robin, even if he wakes up! But he did, Dr O!
What has made this story so sensational to watch unfold is that instead of making the audience suffer along with the character of Robin of her finding out bit by bit what went on in Port Charles with Patrick, while she has been held against her will for over a year, Robin has been filled in by Jerry Jacks, Dr O, and the DVD of the Nurses Ball! So, Robin knows about Sabrina, and knows about Britt! Even, though Dr O has skewered the facts for her own malicious intent, such as kidnapping baby Ben bringing him to Robin and telling the long-suffering heroine that this is Patrick and her daughter, “Britta’s” baby!
And there was more drama filled moments on Friday’s episode! How about when Patrick (Jason Thompson), alone after his talk with Sam (Kelly Monaco), recalled scenes from his wedding to Robin? The footage itself was such a wonderful moment for long time fans of the series who have rooted and wanted Patrick and Robin back together! But that was actually slightly topped in emotional impact, when on Thursday’s episode, after Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) is out of her mind with worry about where her evil mother took her son, Anna remember saving a kidnapped Robin as a child in the historic and heartbreaking scenes of little Robin running into the arms of her mother ! And that was shown as Robin was lamenting in the present day that she wishes that Anna would rescue her as she has always done.
There is still one big fact that has not been revealed to key people in the storyline: “Britta” is the daughter of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) and Dr. Obrecht! Robin does not know, and Anna does not know, but Britt knew and did not tell Anna, which could have been the key to where Dr. O was going to eventually take her baby.
In addition, Carlos (Jeffrey Vincent Parise) is turning up the pressure and the heat on Sabrina (Teresa Castillo) constantly undermining her relationship with Patrick and re-emphasizing that the good doc is not over his “dead” wife! Luke (Anthony Geary) is held up on Cassadine Island with Jerry Jacks (Sebastian Roche), where Jerry wants to give a dying Luke a sample of the anti-toxin that Robin made to test it, and to make sure Robin is not trying to kill Jerry! Meanwhile, a very clever Robin gets Dr. O to come look at her finding in her microscope pretending she has found the cure that could save Jerry’s life Robin next smashes a vase over Dr. O’s head and she knocks her out! Next Robin says, “Now who’s the ‘stupid girl’? Sweet dreams Frau Doctor! Now it’s time for my dreams to come true! I am going home to my husband and my daughter. I’m going home to my family!” We wanted to yell, “Run, Robin, run!”
Friday’s GH moved along as such a crisp pace, as it had all week long, that it reminded us of how very successful primetime shows make every scene count in telling story within an hour time block to move the story forward. Kudos to GH executive producer, Frank Valentini and head writer, Ron Carlivati for an amazing string of episodes with Friday’s at the top of the list for excitement! This is what masterful soap opera storytelling is all about.
So the questions remain: Will Anna finally be able to put all the pieces together of the puzzle and figure out where Robin is? Will Patrick move forward with his relationship with Sabrina even faster in trying to move on from Robin? Or, will he put on the brakes? Is Cesar Faison going to pop up anytime soon? Where you blown away by the performances of Tristan Rogers, Finola Hughes, Kimberly McCullough and Jason Thompson? What were your favorite parts of Friday’s episode? What do you think will happen next? Comment below!

I love Robert. That is all.
Tristan really was a sight for sore eyes! His smile just lights up the room, doesn’t it???? Welcome back, Scorpio!
doesn’t he though
just throws you off guard….
nonplussed at his sexuality… and his original aussie
captivated plus he needs i need
Not to mention his accent! Love him and hope they keep him this time but if we go by the writer’s pattern…doubtful.
Would like for him to find out Ethan isn’t really his son and for Nathan Parsons) to return now that Helena is “supposedly” dead. Which I doubt…that she’s dead!
Oh, I love Tristan Rogers. Yes, that wonderful smile! Love, love, love him. Great to have Robert back.
There is no one better. Tristan Rogers gave an awesome performance. Robert Scorpio needs to stay permanently.
Doesn’t he just? Ever the charmer he is….and aged like a fine wine!!!!! Port Charles is a far happier (and classier) place with Mr. Rogers in residence!!!!
Tristan back on our screen was pure heaven. Now I hope they are not making Anna the sole hero in this rescue. It has to be Robert and Anna as a team. I loved that My favorite hero is back. The only thing that I did not like was his wakeup was off camera and Holly was not there. I really hope there’s more to the story on why Holly was not there. With this rubbish still being there that Ethan is a result of an “affair” that Holly and Luke had and any fan knows that was written in… Read more »
Once Mr. Spencer’s grave condition was revealed, I was sort of hoping for a “Luke’s Angels” type of rescue team comprised of all his lovely ladies of yesteryear : English/Holly, Blaze/Skye, his original “Angel”/Laura and maybe even “Slim”/Anna, although her plate is obviously full at the moment. But at least “Spanky”/Tracy has already made it to his side. Still looking for some additional reinforcements though….can’t believe they are too far behind!
P.S. And “Alice!” Cannot forget “Mr. Luke’s” greatest “enforcer!.”
The powers to be need to put Tristan Rogers on contract. Do they not notice the ratings spike whenever they bring him back? Viewers love Robert Scorpio and GH needs more legacy characters to appear on a regular basis not just during sweeps. Bring back Sean and Tiffany too!
Can’t bring back Tiffany, as she is sick
Not true. She had her finally surgery last month and is recovering nicely.
yaahhhh!! This, is what is making GH the #1 drama series; ”Friday’s GH moved along as such a crisp pace, as it had all week long, that it reminded us of how very successful primetime shows make every scene count in telling story within an hour time block to move the story forward.

Agree… BRAVO GH for incredible TV!!! BRAVO and Thank you!!!
Was a great week and Friday was incredible! With Robin, Jerry, Dr. O, Ben, Luke and soon (from the previews) Tracy and the inevitable arrival of Robert, Mac, Anna, Britt, Nick and the fallout affecting Patrick, Sabrina, Carlos, Maxie, Lulu, Spinelli, Dante and probably Olivia…. this is top notch storytelling. A stupid move by the previous writing regime (killing off Robin) has turned into a really great set of stories for the show… and the best is I’m sure yet to come – including, hopefully an appearance by Faison and untangling how Julian Jerome is involved in all of this… Read more »
I meant to write “With Robin, Jerry, Dr. O, Ben, Luke and soon (from the previews) Tracy all on Cassidine Island and the inevitable arrival ..”
Who is Ben?
I think Ben is the baby named after the rat in the movie Ben!
Robert and Anna need to find Robin together. A Robert and Anna adventure and reconciliation would be a wonderful way to continue from Friday. I just wish TPTB keep Robert around for the long haul!
It is not ABC or any power that is not putting TR under GH contract, it is his choice not to be .. 🙂
I have heard Tristan hint to the opposite that he love to more GH and possibly be under contract. His exact words and i heard him say, that he doesn’t sit around waiting for them to call him but he is always open to it.
Agree Susan!!! It needs to be Robert and Anna that find Robin!
It was an amazing week on GH! Seeing Robert, Anna, and Mac in the same room was a long time coming. Robin is a feisty bad ass and I loved when she clocked Dr. O on the head! The only thing that would’ve made the week better was Julie playing Lulu. To me, those scenes weren’t as emotional as they should’ve been because JMB wasn’t in them.
Yes the pace is wonderful— but just a reminder, after November sweeps into the holiday season and January- expect a slowdown. As much as some want daytime to be like prime time, it can’t– a prime time drama is max 20 shows a season– not the over two hundred shows per year for a soap on daytime. Enjoy the ride while it lasts– but don’t expect it to last forever. I recall plenty of complaints about the slowdown after the Nurses Ball, and while they were setting up the Jerome family to come to town. Soaps are all about ebbs… Read more »
Let’s be happy with what we are getting and I agree they can’t keep up the pace and the incrediblly jam packed stories but let’s embrace it and enjoy everything they give us. Mary is right about the ebbs and flows and the building of intricate story-lines and that takes time and layering and it can’t all flow like it is right now!!!
Its soooooooooooooo gooooooooooooood right now…
I really appreciate RC and FV and the love and care they’re putting into Robin’s return. Do I like every factor? No. But I truly get the feeling that they want this reunion between Robin and Patrick to be everything they’ve built it up to be. I see them believing Robin and Patrick are the winning duo in all of this, and as a big fan of theirs, I sincerely appreciate it and can therefore look forward to the story unfold. I know some parts of this will still be stomach churning, but if the end result is as bright… Read more »
Wish I could clarify but I’ve kind of let it all wash over me and am trying not to think about all the ins and outs too much. I don’t think that all pieces are supposed to fit together.. I’ve been watching soaps for 40 years and I’ve yet to see a story on any show be completely coherent and without plot holes.
Also: I totally forgot all about Ewen altogether.. and since no one on screen has even mentioned him in well over a year, I doubt his involvement will even come up.
This is the way i understood it– Jerry is dying from radiation poison but Faison says he can provide a cure for Jerry if he coughs up millions of dollars. In order to get that money Jerry poisons PC’s water supply and ransoms off the antidote. He gets the money, then fakes his death. I believe Robin was at first being used as someone to experiment on in order to find the cure, which would explain why Ewen was there overseeing Dr. O work for Jerry, since it was Jerry’s money going toward the cure Faison said he could produce… Read more »
You don’t know how carefully I had to read that Mary! Every line I read 4 times before I was absorbing this convoluted exposition, and I’m still not sure I have. Thanks for taking the time and typing it out though. I think at least I have a *better* idea…maybe….(by “John”, did you mean “Luke”?) but if someone were to just tune in now, when the show is on such a supposed high, I don’t know how they could follow this tale. I’d be so lost if I didn’t know as little as I do. Deep and layered is good,… Read more »
From what I can remember, Ewen first appears (or his body does) rescuing Elizabeth after she is pushed off (the haunted star?) by Lisa Niles (the first wacko Dr. who had to have Patrick).We soon discover that Ewen is a Dr. who is actually is staying at Wyndemere where he treating a young woman he calls”Cassandra”( who turns out to be Irina Cassadine, Helena’ daughter). Elizabeth and we the audience actually “meet” Ewen at Shady Brook (where she is staying for a time) soon to find out that he is the newly hired psychiatrist at G H. Eventually Ewen works… Read more »
Mary SF here– by John I meant that guy who is playing Silias now— he came from OLTL as John McBain and he worked with Anna and he was the one who exposed fake Duke (Faison in disguise) by pouring hot cheese on the mask and it melted. Later on PP and ABC had their spat about copyright and the character John McBain was written off GH and the guy who played John McBain came back on the show as Silias. But I do get how twisted this story is and I can’t even guarantee my understanding is correct— because… Read more »
Ah yes. I remember now there was a John character brought on the show recently. Thanks for clarifying.
(I’m not so much doubting you right now, but “hot cheese”?? SERIOUSLY? *sigh*. I couldn’t take it if I watched that with my own eyes. There’s only so much ridiculous I can take and that just sounds like it far exceeds my limits.)
It wasn’t as “cheesy” as it sounds. The confrontation was taking place in a hotel room. Fake Duke (Faison) had arranged for this dinner for Anna in the suite, so there was a fondue in room, which I assume was cheese since most fondues are. When John saw Anna didn’t know who was who anymore, or who to believe, Fake Duke or Robert, he observed Fake Duke sweating, I guess he noticed the mask then, so he grabbed the fondue and threw into Fake Duke’s face and the scalding liquid cause Faison to rip off the mask that half melted… Read more »
I actually watched most episodes of GH this week primarily bc it had the Scorpio and Jones- many of the vets on! I loved Robert in the 80s and hope the vets go find Robin- a Gh mini “Red” team. Though I really find the constant bringing up of Frisco lately and often in a negative manner ridiculous. Move on ! Robert and Frisco were friends and we saw more of that brotherhood than Mac and Robert so bs on him saying some of that stuff. Either bring JW back or leave it to rest.
So right you are!…The constant Frisco bashing of this past week was beyond distasteful….it was insulting not only to Jack Wagner, but to all of his fans who would like nothing better than to see him back in Port Charles….and without his insipid ex-wife, at that!!!! The petty vendetta the ptb’s seem to have with this actor and his character is really off-putting and immature, and it is spoiling the nostalgic euphoria that many of us from the glory days of the ’80’s are otherwise enjoying…..either put up or shut up where Frisco is concerned!!!!!
I agree with both of you. I especially thought Robert’s comments to Mac were a little strange. I know Robert and Mac grew close eventually but Robert & Frisco had an incredible friendship for way more years.
Very true! I’ll give the “Adorable Aussie” the benefit of the doubt….we can blame the propofol overdose for his memory lapse…..LOL. However, there is simply no acceptable excuse for the writers’ and producers’ obviously intentional and regrettable use of revisionism to perform character assassination on our beloved “Frisco.” Now THAT’S just plain “nasty!” ; )
It’s been great but I think part of the reason for faster resolutions is because of the cancelled shows. The OLTL team knows that too many loose threads and stories that drag on cannot be tied up quickly should the worst happen…it’s a win/win.
Totally agree. Friday’s episode was awesome! Now I want Britt’s baby given to Dante and LuLu because we all know she had to have used one of their remaining embryos to get pregnant. I don’t like that she is so attached to Ben when she knows he’s not her son, and it will help ease the pain Dante and LuLu are feeing over having to give Connie to her real parents. Please lets not drag this storyline on much longer. It’s been long enough and Britt does not deserve that baby. Kudos to GH for finally bringing the Robin storyline… Read more »
Last Week, Frank Valentini, Exec VP & Ron Carlavati , Head Writer proved once again why they are the leaders of this exciting soap. The episodes moved along smoothly and the actors had outstanding performances, especially Robert, Robin, Anna, Luke, Mac, Dr. O, Britt, Jerry Jacks, Patrick……and Tracy should be on an episode soon, looking for her lover man, Luke. Also it looks as if Alexis is getting closer to discovering that Derek Wells is Julian Jerome and as such, Sam’s father. I can hardly wait for Monday as I know we should have another exciting episode then. Keep up… Read more »
I think it’s been an amazing 50 years! It’s been an incredible year within the 50!!! It’s been a stellar month and an exceptional week and yes… Friday was an AWESOME show!!! It’s great story at a great pace… but first and foremost it’s a great/stellar/exceptional CAST with exceptional and powerful performances!!! When we have episodes with Anna, Robert, Robin, Patrick, Luke, Dr. O., Mac, Jerry, Duke, Alexis, Derek/Jullian, Sam, Maxie, Spinelli, Carly, Sonny, Tracy, Eva and everyone in that fabulous cast… we are going to get must see TV!!! I would love to see Robert on contract… I want… Read more »
This is exactly how I feel……..I’ve always loved GH, but it’s been so much much better since Frank and Ron took over….they are awesome….best cast in alll of TV…….Thanks to everyone at GH for such a wonderful production which far surpasses anything else on daytime or nighttime…..
GH has not had time to become lackluster/boring because of the faster pace of the stories..
I lose interest when the stories carry on and on and on and on..
Picking up the pace of the stories keeps them exciting and must see not to miss a day!
GH is the shining star among the soaps!!
“Oh, My God”
Robert in near tears and hysterics bursts out with, “She was with our daughter!
“Oh, My god”
how good is that….
especially… knowing… Anna was with him…
two parents… realing from the discovery
I can’t get over ‘the’ talent in this storyline
magna-cum laude performances… just stellar….
Patrick
Robin
Emma
Anna
Robert
Maxie
unique and revelatory
Big Mac deserves mention
this time around, Kirsten Storms, is deliver’ing.
I honestly thought… at one time… it was Jenn Lilly who gave us layers of Maxie… who gave us Maxie to squirt with… you know
I found out with her….
so… it’s a treat this time to know Kirsten is delivery on spot… highlight reel
She deserves it… i like her
and… it’s more than her DOOL and teen bit part notoriety
she’s got it
I never get tired of her
she encompasses her real
OK, I just lost it….
Maxie telling Mac and Felicia
Mac: I wish you didn’t have to go thru this alone
Felicia: whe’re grandparents
“who lovely is that”
it was Georgia…..
that said….
“The best Dad in the Universe”
who doesn’t cry with that
The baby battle is becoming banal….as is “ShrewLu’s” shrill shrieking. She’s NOT your baby!!! Give her back to “Mama Maxinista”…end of story….can we move on now? Also, please provide a plausible plot to preclude a path to parenthood for the Falconeris (via Britt’s “Benny Boy”)….the only twist that terrible twosome truly deserves is a timeout for throwing those trite temper tantrums. Enough already…..
Ok first of all I loved every bit of GH Friday specially Robert remembering seeing Robin! And I love the use of Robin flashbacks=keep doing this with other characters who love her-show ones with Mac, Emma, Maxie and even her close friends like Sonny and Elizabeth. Hell I wouldn’t even mind a Jason one LOL! Now I am going to offer my opinions on GH=obviously the story above is the best thing going for it and I love every bit. But here are a few bad things: It time for the OLTLers to GO-or at least work out a deal… Read more »
I am in total sync with you re Maura West /Ava J. I vented about it in the article on Sept 26th ( or 25th ) that shows a pic of Ava /Morgan caught in bed using just about the same words as you,with the exception that even though I knew of her being in other soaps, I never saw her act. I somehow imagine that she plays every role the same way.
Totally agree with you about “Ava J.” West is becoming so over-the-top and one-note in her portrayal, it’s difficult to see how it can continue on for the long-term. However, I must admit that despite not being a fan of Ms. Jerome, there was an enjoyable moment of levity in yesterday’s episode when she made a literary reference to her youthful paramour, and it obviously went right over his pretty little head…did you catch the stunned, eyes glazed-over look of her “Aha moment” as she realized what an intellectual lightweight her lunk of a hunk was? “Read a book!” she… Read more »
It was a great week for GH! SO fun to watch with so many revelations. I am glad they were quick to come out and not dragged on anymore. I love the chemistry with Nicholas and Britt. I can’t wait for Robin to see Patrick but I think when Patrick sees Robin- it will be a tear jerker!!! Patrick is so in love with her and I was teary when he removed his wedding ring and then when Sam showed that hers was still on….If we could just bring JASON back!!!! I am so looking forward to the next few… Read more »
Just have to ask: Has anybody else ever felt that their opinions are accepted/rejected at this website not upon the basis of what is said, but about whom? It seems that Mr. (Ms.?) Moderator is particularly protective of a certain “Senorita” when it comes to the critical comments….for example, over these last few weeks, I have (at least) twice written in high praise of Sam and Patrick’s skillful and soulful scenes together, while sharply contrasting their palpable chemistry with Drake Jr.’s lack of the same with the insipid “Sapbrina.” I have also further expounded upon the “babysitter’s” obviously poor acting… Read more »
HI Shay: I would like to take a moment to answer you here for myself and the site moderators. Many of your comments in the past have included remarks about the actors who portray the characters and in some instances is taken to the extreme. In fact, some of your comments can be taken as hurtful. Many actors read my site, and in the past some have contacted me when site posters may have stepped to far, and just to clarify, I am not talking about the actress who plays Sabrina, FYI. My site is NOT a forum to slam… Read more »
Very well said Michael…I appreciate all of the soap news you bring us!! I am sure that most people who visit Michael Fairman Soaps would agree with you on this subject. There is no reason or place for nasty, insulting comments when discussing soaps!! We come here to enjoy hearing about the latest soap buz and I for one love this site!! Thanks and keep up the great work!! 🙂
Well stated, Mr. Fairman. The mean-spirited, cruel, narrow-mined and oftentimes racist comments of some users has put me off many other soap blogs.
Mr. Fairman…Thank you for taking the time to address my comments….your “hands-on” treatment of this website bespeaks well of your commitment to the soap world and your many fans/posters here online, and it is most appreciated! That being said, for the record, I have never intentionally set out to be “nasty” (not my word…) when I submitted my views for your perusal…brutally honest, deeply passionate, highly observant and extremely descriptive, yes, but not purposely mean-spirited. I only began posting due to my utter and absolute frustration when GH “crossed the Rubicon” into what I considered an extremely lame and juvenile… Read more »
Hi Shay:
Much appreciated your response and thank you for your comments here. I thought they were well-put so I have shared with our posters here.
Thank you for understanding also my position.
Michael
I’d just like to stick my nose is and say two things, if I may: 1) Shay, I have not seen you post much on this site (though to be fair I don’t read every comment in every article posted :)), but just going off these two posts above, I just have to say that I have such admiration for the way you write. When I read your beautiful words, I was hearing them in my best British accent (I don’t know why…I am Canadian). You clearly must have a deep love and appreciation for the English language because your… Read more »
Jules…Thank you for your very kind words….although I am definitely a “Yank” by birth, I do believe my obvious reverence for the English language can be attributed to the fact I am an ardent Anglophile fueled by a steady stream of PBS Britcoms and dramas, not to mention a daily diet of online UK publications! These fonts of proper language definitely serve to keep the skills sharp despite everyday exposure to texts, tweets, emails, MMS and all other sources of “slang that is slung” at us on a regular basis!!! So there’s my secret to staying on the straight and… Read more »
I absolutely love all of the 80’s icons, Anna, Duke, Felicia, Holly, Robert, etc.! I love their chemistry and the history they have with one another! Fiona is amazing! Love her scenes, love how she can show pure, raw emotion in a nano-second, always so classy! Happy to see Robert!
Im all for keeping Robert around…a love triangle with Robert, Anna, and Duke…Robert wins Annas heart…Duke and Alexis can be a couple but she also has feelings for Derek/Julian!
I like the way you think, “jimh!”….Yes, Duke and Alexis are much more “age” appropriate and “demeanor” attuned than she is with D/J. I still think he and Carly would be better paired, quite explosive….especially after the Ava/Morgan thing….can you just imagine if “Mama Jax” became involved with the man and then later found out in reality he was not only her ex hubby’s avowed enemy but the brother of the cradle-robbing woman she cannot stand? Priceless!!! As for Franco, how about putting him with Liz? They both have artistic souls, and her relationship with AJ has been rocky at… Read more »
Friday’s episode in particular was just amazing for long-time GH fans. So much going on, skillfully tied together and well-acted. Kudos to exec producer Frank Valentini and to head writer Ron Carlivati and his team.
Although he wasn’t on this week, Maurice Bernard seems to be a shoe-in for the Emmy!
Robin n Patrick need to reunite fast
Robert, Luke, and Anna will rescue for Robin, after Jerry Jacks will be shot and killed by Luke.
I really think this plot has gone on way too long. And after Patrick received a call fromRobin on her birthday and on their wedding anniversary seemed more unwilling to let go of her memory than eve. He even seemed to be sure it was her that called him. Now this week he has had nothing but unhindered love for Sabrina. Every time the viewers thought somebody would find Robin or Patrick would get hr call way back when Emma answered the phone we have been waiting for Robin and Patrick to reunite. And I’m surprised that Lisa is so… Read more »

Stars React to Alec Baldwin Fatally Shooting Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins & Injuring Director, Joel Souza, In Prop Gun Mishap On Set of ‘Rust’
UPDATED: Over the last 24 hours, the entertainment world has been stunned, by the horrific incident that took place on the set of the western drama Rust, while it was shooting scenes in New Mexico.
What is known is that Alec Baldwin (Ex-The Doctors, Knots Landing) discharged a prop gun that killed Director of Photography, Halyna Hutchins and injured director, Joel Souza. The film also stars Frances Fisher (Ex-Edge of Night) and Jensen Ackles (Ex-Days of our Lives). Baldwin is also a producer on the film.

According to Variety, the prop gun contained a “live single round,” according to an email sent by IATSE Local 44 to its membership.
On Friday, Alec Baldwin made a statement via Twitter on his Hilaria and Alec Baldwin Foundation Twitter feed, expressing: “There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”
Yesterday, The Sante Fe Sheriff’s Departments originally shared that “Hutchins, 42, and Souza, 48 were shot when a prop firearm was discharged by Alec Baldwin. Ms. Hutchins was transported, via helicopter, to University of New Mexico Hospital where she was pronounced dead by medical personnel. Mr. Souza was transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical center where he was undergoing treatment for his injuries. This investigation remains open and active. No charges have been filed in regard to this incident. Witnesses continue to be interviewed by detectives.”
This morning, Frances Fisher revealed in a twitter conversation with Patricia Arquette, that director Joel Souza had been released from the hospital. Meanwhile, photographs of a distraught Baldwin emerged following the shooting.

The news of the Baldwin prop gun incident, isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Jon-Erik Hexum was killed on October 18, 1984, on the set of the TV show Cover Up when he accidentally shot himself in the head with a gun loaded with blanks. Then, in 1993, Brandon Lee, the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, died from a prop gun accident on the set of The Crow by a cast member.
As the news made its way through the entertainment community and mainstream news, several soap stars shared their reactions to the fatal shooting accident.
General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin/Ryan) expressed: “Feeling so sad for everyone involved in the tragedy on the #RustMovie set. I do know the film was staffed with experienced, thoughtful professionals. Please, let’s wait until we have the facts. Nothing positive will come from passing judgement or casting aspersions before then.”
General Hospital and Dynasty’s Emma Samms (Holly, Fallon) shared on her friend Jon-Erik Hexum’s death: This AWFUL tragedy on #Rust is unfathomable to me. If all on-set protocols were being adhered to, how, on earth, could it have happened? After what happened to Brandon Lee and my dear friend Jon-Erik Hexam, the firearm protocols became incredibly strict. I was told (when I was with him at the hospital afterwards) that Jon-Erik had been working with a completely empty gun all morning. A blank (still very dangerous) was loaded and then immediately there was a delay. Exhausted, he was allowed to fall asleep – loaded gun in hand. hey woke him, but there was immediately another delay. Jon-Erik put the gun to his head, forgetting it now contained a blank, (because he had just woken up) and jokingly pulled the trigger.
