At the end of the September 24 episode of General Hospital, Jordan (Tanisha Harper) had a run-in with Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard), the latest attorney to join Miller & Davis. However, when the two women laid eyes on each other it seemed from a happy moment for Jordan.

As it turns out, Monet is Jordan’s younger sister and in fact, the lawyer was quite rude to Jordan even making a comment about the scars on her sister’s face. The cliffhanger ending put an end to the speculation of just who Monet had a connection to in Port Charles as had been teased, although we have to say most viewers predicted this from the start.

Earlier in the episode, Monet paid a visit to Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) and was quite threatening and unrelenting about Tracy making sure her client, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard), has no issue moving back into the Q’s with his daughter Phoebe and wife, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton). That’s something Tracy doesn’t want. In the end, Tracy was taken a little off-guard by Monet’s terse demeanor.

This marks the first time in over 12 1/2 years on the show, that the character of Jordan actually has a family member on the canvas, and within that span, four actresses have played Jordan: Vinessa Antoine, Briana Nicole Henry, Tiffany Daniels (a short fill-in for Henry) and Tanisha Harper.

JORDAN AND MONET HAD A SISTERLY FALLING OUT

Blythe Howard told TV Insider, about wanting the part of Monet Mitchell, “I saw it come through and I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is giving Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, and I don’t get those auditions ever,’” she says. “It was just a really fun, spicy role and I couldn’t pass it up.”

The actress also gave a bit of the back-story that will fuel the sisters dysfunctional relationship,“You’ll find out that we’re estranged.” In speaking about her new Port Charles alter-ego, Howard added, “I think Monet is just here to keep everybody on their toes. I love that she’s strong and doesn’t take no for an answer. She goes after what she wants, and she’s not afraid to maybe step on some toes to get what she wants.”

Viewers may get a clue soon that Monet knows exactly what she is doing and why. “We never know what her angle is going to be or what she’s up to,” confirms Howard. “I think she knows exactly what she’s up to, but everybody else doesn’t.”

FAMILY MATTERS

As the counterpoint, Tanisha Harper weighed-in and teased this new sisterly on-screen relationship viewers are about to see to Soap Opera Digest. Harper expressed, ‘Having Monet on the show is going to allow viewers to see another side of Jordan.”

Tanisha continued, “We had Jordan as this strong businesswoman, and then we started to see a little bit more of a vulnerable side to her when she went through the car accident, and now, having her sister come onto the landscape, I think that getting to see what their dynamic is will be interesting for the viewers and add just another layer to the show in general.”

Harper says of the ending of Thursday’s GH, “I think Jordan is in shock, and she’s a little leery, as well, about what her sister’s motives are for coming to Port Charles. Out of all the cities she could have come to, why pick this particular one, knowing that her sister lives there and they haven’t spoken in many years?” Hmmm.

LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL AND GETTING BACK ON TV

After a 15-year-run as GH’s Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s (Laura Wright) son, Michael Corinthos, Duell made the decision to exit the show and take a break. His last episode aired in January of 2025. In May of that year, Rory Gibson debuted as the recast Michael and has been firmly-implanted into the role ever since.

In a livestream conversation last month on the Michael Fairman Channel, Chad opened about his current foray into music after releasing his first two EDM-style tracks, If You Need Me followed by Static in the Crowded Room.

Looking back on his decision to leave General Hospital when he did, Duell shared his thoughts at the time, “I’m taking some time away, we’ll see what happens. Obviously, they decided to go in a different direction with Michael when I was gone. I didn’t think they were going to bring somebody back in my place. But you know, it’s the business. You never know what can happen.”

Duell also explained he had not watched a single episode of General Hospital since he left the series, but now feels reenergized following the loss of his father and stepping away from the soap. Chad expressed, “I’m in a place now mentally, where I’m ready to sink my teeth into (acting) again.”

In case you missed it, you can check out the full conversation with Chad below.

The Wednesday, September 23 episode of General Hospital brought with it some moments to ponder for the future direction of key storylines.

First, Chase (Josh Swickard) is ramping up his custody battle with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), focusing on not losing his rights to baby Phoebe. Ava (Maura West) threw suspicion on Carly (Laura Wright) in a discussion with Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to save her friend Nina (Cynthia Watros) from being considered the prime suspect in the disappearance/murder of Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), and lucky Drew (Cameron Mathison) might have struck gold after seeing Willow and Chase looking awfully “palsy-walsy.”

The episode opened up with the introduction of the arrival of a new character to the canvas legal eagle Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard) who had a meeting with her potential client, Chase.

ALL THE MONET

Monet then told Chase for this case to work in his favor, he needs to move back into the Quartermaines, if his goal is to not lose his daughter. Citing concerns over Tracy (Jane Elliot), Monet told Chase she would handle things with Tracy. Chase agreed to move forward with Monet representing him.

Later, Monet shows up at Tracy’s and the two have a terse confrontation, but is it all for show? Do they know each other, or are they going to be true adversaries, because Tracy also wants Chase out of Brook Lynn’s life? As previously teased, Monet will be revealed to have a connection into Port Charles, but who?

NOT MY MANAGER

In addition, Trina (Tabyana Ali) decided to continue her recording deal with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) under the auspices of music executive Simon (Grady Eldridge), as long as Brook Lynn is no longer a part of the project or being her manager, The decision was made after Brook Lynn came to smooth things over with Trina at her apartment. In the end, Brook Lynn was forlorn and left putting Gio in an uncomfortable position with his mother.

DREW’S MACHINATIONS

At Aurora Wellness, Drew confronted Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) about knowing that Willow was the one who’d shot him and how Kai and Trinas stole incriminating evidence against Portia (Brook Kerr) from his safe. Next thing you know, Drew offers Kai a job at Aurora! Kai is stunned and declines, but Drew say the offer is open-ended for him.

Then, Chase is seen lifting weights when Willow approaches him (both in workout clothes, yet again, or something like that). Willow sees Chase is stressed and says he needed to clear his head after meeting with a new divorce attorney. Willow grabbed Chase’s hand as the supportive “friend,” just as Drew turned the corner and witnessed the close little moment between the exes.

Check out the scenes at Aurora Wellness between Drew and his former intern, Kai below.

Now let us know, how will Drew use the closeness he sees between Chase and Willow to his advantage? Who is Monet really? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
