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!!

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.
