GENERAL HOSPITAL Spoilers: Maxie’s Recovery Throws a Wrench into Lulu and Nathan Lives; Luke Spencer is Remembered
It’s about to go down this week on General Hospital! In episode set to air February 16-20, now that Maxie (Kirsten Storms) awakened from her coma and learns that her beloved late husband, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey), is actually alive and well, not only is she shocked, but Maxie’s recovery also leaves multiple other lives in the balance.
In the just released ABC promo for the action in Port Charles, Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) is seen overjoyed when she learns Maxie is alive, and she runs to her son, Nathan and gleefully shares, “Maxie’s Awake!” Then she adds, “You and Maxie are meant to be together. And nothing can get in the way of that.” Of course, Nathan’s reaction is one of trepidation, because he has fallen for Maxie’s best friend, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening).
Lulu looks worried and conflicted, knowing her bff is now among the living, how will she handle it when she actually comes face to face with her for the first time in months, but now that she has developed feelings for Nathan? Then, Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) is shown concerned about his ‘Maximista,” while admitting to someone, “I could lose Maxie … and my family.”

In the final moments of the video teaser, Nathan visits his own gravesite, when someone is walking up behind him. Is someone coming to comfort him, or is something nefarious going on? Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, by the end of the week, General Hospital officially pays tribute to the late Anthony Geary in an episode where the citizen of Port Charles remember Luke Spencer. In story, Luke died back in 2022 in a cable-car incident in Austria, and the soap opera promises plenty of flashbacks on the life and times of the iconic character played by the record-setting eight-time Daytime Emmy winner, who passed away at 78 back on December 14, 2025.
As previously reported General Hospital’s executive producer Frank Valentini shared, “For decades, Tony Geary brought daytime television’s ultimate antihero, Luke Spencer, to life. We wanted to honor Tony and his extraordinary legacy in the most meaningful way possible, and this special episode of General Hospital gives viewers the opportunity to revisit some of Luke’s most iconic adventures and unforgettable moments, along with a few rarely seen ones. And who better to share those memories than the people of Port Charles who knew and loved him?”

And, looking forward to the special episode in tribute to the legacy of the character of Luke Spencer? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
On Monday’s episode we learnt that Anna did have Nathan’s grave exhumed out and the casket was empty. Haven’t we all questioned why this wasn’t first done when Nathan came back?
Me thinks the writers read our comments 🙂
Hi OG Steve. Did you catch a major inconsistencie on Thursday’s episode?
Why if Anna had Nathan’s grave exhumed, and it was found to be empty due to Nathan not being dead… why would there still be a headstone for him?!
Regardless of how common returns from the dead are in soap land, it seems like they usually forget to remove the tombstones. Not only did you see Nathan visiting his own grave today, but if you’re a Days of Our Lives viewer, you might have seen Chad visit his wife Abigail’s grave on his way out of town. Of course her grave was dug up and shown to be empty several months ago, but they left the tombstone there for some reason. And even when she inevitably returns, it will probably still be there.
Who knows? Jason might have TWO empty slots in the Quartermaine crypt by now?
They tested Nathan’s DNA, his fingerprints, and noted that he had scars on his chest from where he took the bullets from his dear old dad Faison.
Now a previously unheard of “evil twin” would have shared Nathan’s DNA, but not his fingerprints. And a plastic surgeon making fake scar tissue in the exact location of gun shot wounds would have been a bit much. So even without the empty grave, there’s no question that Nathan is actually Nathan.
The only questions are: 1) Where was he for 7 years? 2) Why does he have zero memory of that time? and 3) What exactly was he doing when he wrecked his pickup truck? And of course the only credible (by Port Charles standards, at least) explanation for that is that he has some sort of chip in his head which had him programmed to live an entirely different life for those 7 years. And then one of two things happened:
Either the chip got knocked loose when he was in the accident. Which means another head injury might actually reacitivate it. OR the chip somehow short circuited just before the wreck. And one assumes if your brain totally reboots while you’re driving, it’s going to be hard to stay on the road.
If such a chip exists, odds are pretty good that there’s a remote control app for the chip on somebody’s phone. Most likely that would be the “evil” WSB director & CEO of the Legion of Dumb, “Agent” Cullum.
Obviously they have to answer the questions of where Nathan was for those 7 years eventually, so you can bet your soul that this chip will either be reactivated, or at least discovered in his head during a routine medical checkup at some point.
Regarding the fingerprint issue, they could explain someone hacked the system to change Nathan’s original prints in the PCPD/FBI database.
Well I seem to remember Helena doing something liike that when she tried to pass Drew off as “Jason”. So one would hope the PCPD learned to secure their database a little better after that embarrasment.
I thought the scenes Monday with Lucas and Marco were great! Lucas’s eyes were opened, and Marco had to put all the cards on the table. I was sort of hoping at the end Lucas would NOT have taken Marco’s hand, but he did. I think Lucas’s fate is sealed…I hope I’m wrong.
Don’t care for Marco. He needs to go and so does the creepy wsb director. Keep Pascal and hook him up with Tracey for laughs, after this silly science project is over…sooner than later, please.
Choose Spinelli!!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
