General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: The Davis Girls Have a Night Out and Learn Molly Can’t Conceive a Child
The newest configuration of the Davis sisters alongside their mom, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), was on full display on Thursday’s episode of General Hospital.
While Holiday Mia Kriegel has stepped into the role of Molly (while Haley Pullos is away dealing with the aftermath of her car collision and serious legal woes) it looks like the soap opera may finally be starting to move the needle forward on Molly’s fertility struggle storyline.
During the episode, the women gather at a Port Charles nail salon. Molly is late arriving and when she shows up, she has champagne in-hand and seemingly ready for a party. When the subject of Molly’s medical issues come up, she warns Kristina (Kate Mansi) to back off. As Kristina continues to get the truth out of Molly and tells her to let them help her with whatever is going on, Molly finally tells her mother and her sisters that her eggs are not viable and she can never have a biological child. Next, she storms out, but returns and offers up an apology.

Just then, big sister Sam (Kelly Monaco) asks Molly if she’s considered surrogacy or adoption. Molly comments back that she isn’t ready to look into that or deal with it. Alexis gives Molly a hug and says she will be there for her, whatever she needs.
To take their minds off their problems, the women decide to head to the Savoy, not knowing that TJ (Tajh Bellow) is also there giving Marshall (Robert Gossett) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) the lowdown on Molly’s trouble to conceive a child with him.
What do you think of this current iteration of the Davis girls with Kate Mansi, Holiday Mia Kriegel, Kelly Monaco and Nancy Lee Grahn? Do you like their on-screen interactions thus far? After watching today’s episode are you convinced more than ever that somewhere along the line, and soon, Kristina will offer to carrying a baby to term for her sister? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
The most uninteresting, boring “quartette” ever!! The weirdos.
Here we go again with the bad recasting and terrible storylines. I don’t like new Molly and her storyline. I think it was a terrible idea to give Alexis new love interest a disease. If this keeps up, I will totally stop watching.
So sick and tired of fans like you that threaten to stop watching over every little thing. It’s no wonder Head Writer Chris Van Etten said they never read fan opinions on the internet. You give us all a bad name.
Hey, John—Agreed—nuMolly is insipid and is not making an impact—I wouldn’t stop watching because of her. I mute her ad I do nuTtina.
I will stop watching (not that it matters to anyone—who am I, right??) if the show turns politically partisan again. The way Kristina was talking about her big plans may cause agitation for some, albeit I love Kate—-we shall see how her version of the character unfolds and develops.
Agree with you about Gregory; what an absolutely horrible idea to give him a disease. And not just any old disease, one of THE most horrific ones imaginable. I’m not sure what their definition of escapism is but this isn’t it.
There are some very basic, fundamental problems with this story that really have nothing to do with the story itself. Please allow me to categorize them.
1) In order for a story like this to work, viewers really need to like, care about, and be invested in the characters involved. That really cannot be said here.
Viewers have a love / hate relationship with Alexis, who is essentially the matriarch of all the drama.
Kristina has been a rarely-seen, ill-defined, hot mess of a character. She has flip flopped between men and women, and just appears fickle and immature.
Molly has changed from a perky, idealistic teenager to a surly, arrogant lawyer who is suddenly hysterically needing to have a baby when just a few months ago she had expressed NO interest in having a child whatsoever.
Sam, who will also play a vital role in all of this, is another polarizing character that some viewers love, while others love to hate.
The Likability Flag is flying at about half mast here.
2) This was done in a major story just 10 years ago with Lulu and Maxie. It was a year plus major umbrella story that most viewers remember very well. Of course soaps are repetitive and 10 years can be a long time. But still it is a very heavy, very memorable topic.
3) The recasts!! This is a major story involving two fairly major characters who are both being played by recasts. A returning viewer could be looking at the screen and ask themselves “Who are these girls?”
I never had any real attachment to Lexi Ainsworth. Not because of anything she did; but rather it’s that I don’t like Sonny. I don’t care for how the writers have written Kristina over the years either. She has been wildly inconsistent and her sporadic appearances and comings and goings have not helped. I am perfectly fine with Kate Mansi in the role.
Whereas Valentini gets frothy and excited when he manages to hire a “name” from another soap, viewers generally don’t. Not all fans know that Kate Mansi is an Emmy winning actress from another soap. Nor do they care. All they care about is that they are seeing some interloper playing their beloved Kristina.
I could live with this Molly in the role. To be honest, Molly would not be a hard role to recast. But in this story, with her as the centre of it, you do need someone the viewers can root for and want to see have a child.
4) The writing. Any stories that are springing up during the Writer’s Strike are going to be affected in some way. So far, this one has been pretty heavy handed. A story like this requires nuance, subtlety, and balance. You need to be able to root for both of the characters when the inevitable happens and Kristina wants to claim the baby. But judging by how these writers have handled the Nina Carly debacle and made it so laughably one-sided, I am not sure if this is a story they are equipped to tell in all its complexity.
5) The girl playing Molly, whether warranted or not, is facing serious backlash due to her recent drunken antics that injured people. That is having an effect on how viewers see the character of Molly, there by reducing sympathy forthe character.
I think the show has to proceed VERY carefully with this story because all things considered, it could be an epic fail!!
Johnny…I like Alexis, mainly when she was wearing her lawyer hat. But I never have warmed up to her girls, no matter who was playing their parts. Especially Kristina. And don’t you think the baby stories get overdone? From Willow, Sasha, B&B’s over the years, and most recently Sally/Adam from Y&R.
I would normally be squirming like a kid reading such a long comment—But, golly gee, Johnny—you managed to keep my interest piqued.
I cannot get into this foursome. I like Kate very much—never liked Lexi—
I love Haley and miss her—nuMolly is rubbing me the wrong way—she does not fit in. It could be her height? Compared to the rest of her family, she sticks out like a sore thumb.
I could care less about any of their storylines—
This new interest of Kristina’s smells of politics. I hope the writers don’t go there—it will be bye-bye for me.
You have a very interestingly unique style of writing!! Love it!!
Totally agree!!!
Nobody cares about medical jargon stories. Boring. It’s time for a mob war of shootouts and explosions of life and death stakes. Entertaining. Bring back Jason, Cyrus, and Alcazar to go with Sonny and Wu.
Jason can stay dead, and I’m over the mob violence, especially in today’s world. It’s too much. A lot more would like the “medical jargon stories” you seem to find boring. I’d much rather watch a hospital-focused <i>General Hospital</i>, which it should have always been, instead of a dark, mob-focused canvas.
Not me; I have no desire to watch characters suffer and deteriorate and have no future…what horribly depressing stories.
Fans want Action. Not dialogue. It’s a proven fact that mob heavy weeks draw better ratings than doctors trying to diagnose a disease. GH would’ve never seen the 80’s if it didn’t transition away from the BORING hospital drama of the 70’s to the danger adventure era. Who cares about the name of a show? You write what is entertaining! Mob is fast paced. Hospital is slow paced.
Agree; I HATE the medical stories! I don’t know why anyone would like them. Some think because the word “hospital” is in the title we should be “entertained” by one fatal disease, depressing story after another. It’s horrible. I’ll take the WSB, the mob, Victor’s cray cray, etc any day over disease stories. I’d love Alcazar to come back…
The Kristina recast was for this storyline, though… and the Molly recast was out of their hands. Material was written and set to be filmed, so they had very short-time to recast and continue telling the story. It’s how daytime works.
Alexis is a beloved character; always was. The only viewers who now hate her are the ones who hate Nancy Grahn for being the outspoken champion of decency, and who take personally her condemnation of all things pathological and diabolical that have possessed the GOP cult since the orange left his reality show to sit on what he thought was his forever-throne.
I love nuMolly. Haley Pullos comes off as self-absorbed and shallow in her personal life (whatever of it could be gleaned from her “hot” selfies one after another on social media), and her screaming about her $400 shirt upon being rescued after almost killing someone. Molly’s (as played by her) nasal whine was cringe-worthy and I hated that Molly was getting a story…until now! I really like the recast (though they need to have her stand in a sunken floor when talking to her “sisters” or have them stand on boxes, lol; one or the other would solve the drastic height difference. But she’s very pretty and can act, so I’m hoping they keep her.
I really liked Lexi and I don’t believe for a moment she was planning on leaving. It’s actually more difficult for me to get used to Kate Mansi as Kristina then it is for me to get used to Holiday Mia Kriegel as Molly (for the reasons I’ve given), and I think she and “TJ” look great together. And I’m sooooo grateful Holiday doesn’t try to emulate the whine. She comes off as a much more polished, sophisticated, young, professional…
I know it takes a while for recasts to blend in comfortably with existing cast (notable exceptions for me were the wonderful Billy Miller’s Y&R entrance back in 2008 as Billy Abbott and both Michael Muhney and Mark Grossman, both terrific as Adam Newman). But…this group just isn’t clicking for me yet. Maybe it’s because I had little interest in Christina before and even less in Molly. Maybe a little longer?
Sosphound,
You said it all for me. To me they were just part of the show to tolerate. I have little to no interest in either of them. I love Nancy/Alexis and want more for her but she’s totally wasted in her role. She was great when she could go toe to toe with her good buddy Diane or some other Attorney.
By the way, Violet, hasn’t Diane been a kick lately? I love that she seems to be the only person not intimidated by Tracy! Tracy’s behavior of late is also troubling. Gleefully blackmailing your own granddaughter? Sick! And how can she not like Chase? Has the woman no eyes or pulse?
I think it’s weird that NuKristina has yet to have a scene w/ her dad, Its really odd that it’s taking forever what’s up with that? tempMoll, it’s hard to invest because will the original Haley Pullos return? I hope the actress comes out of the mess she’s legally in right now, it’s really so nothing but positive energy her way.
NuK hasn’t had scenes with Sonny because Lexi and Maurice had palpable on screen chemistry and Frank is hoping if he waits long enough fans will forget that when they finally share the screen.
For me, it’s more important to establish Kate Mansi within the “Davis girls” group before exploring elsewhere, where she will naturally fit in.
No, it isn’t. Kristina is a Corinthos. She needs to be with her father Sonny. She needs to be with her brothers Dante and Michael. She needs to be with her sisters Avery, Donna, and Joss. She needs to be with her future stepmother Nina. She needs be with her sister in law Willow. She needs to be with her nephews Rocco and Wiley. She needs to be with her niece Amelia. She needs to be with her Cousin Spencer. Kristina has triple the connections to Sonny than Alexis. It’s her family.
It’s not a guarantee that Pullos will return; I personally hope she doesn’t. I much prefer the recast.
Let’s be honest, this was definitely a chemisty test in disguise to see if Kate Mansi and Holiday Mia Kriegel are viable replacements, nothing more to it.
You’re probably right, Remy. And for me, the experiment was even less successful than THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. I’ve felt more comfortable at the DMV.
Stop ruining Nina to try to get us to cheer for Carly.
*So* many characters are being propped for Carly and to highlight the role… it’s defening.
Thanks for that, Carlyispropped—I’ve only been watering for a handful of years, yet my first impression of Carly still stands—-I loathe her:: let me count the ways-she feels entitled—-she’s a hypocrite—she has no humility—she’s self-centered—do as I say and not as I do—she had slept with all three Quartermaine brothers and then some—-AND, her mother’s husband—she has neither dignity nor integrity—she does not set a good motherly example for her daughters.—she’s a criminal—-she has no class.
Nonetheless, the most offensive retrogressive part of her is her lack of fashion sense—frumpy.
TPTB are really putting Nina through the meat-grinder. She committed no crime here. But, “they” are availing themselves of every ploy to make her look like the scum of the earth.
For what? You’re right to assume it’s done to uplift Carly—I also think it goes deeper than that. The end game is to reunite the two misfits; Carly and Sonny!!
Word to the writers: please leave Nina alone.. k??
Nina is a snake. You may not like Carly but both actresses are good to invoke such strong reactions. That simply means they’re doing their job. I love Carly. She’s a lot of things, but one thing she’s got on her side is loyalty. Nina truly only cares about Nina. She let Peter burn down her friends bar and never alerted anyone to the danger he brought to them. All that to keep her secret. And left Ned to drown. So with that.. She’s no good either.
We like whom we like. Carly is a snake. So much trauma , caused by Carly, could have been avoided where Willow is concerned. Not divulging her true parentage was spiteful and evil. I don’t care how many excuses she pulls out of her criminal head.
Yes, agreed—they’re both amazing actresses to educe so much emotional responses from the viewers.
Bottom line? I hope Nina comes forward and confesses ——she’s a snitch. Not a criminal . I want her liaison with Sonny to end— that’s the only way to truncate this unearthly engagement. Maybe it could work on Mars. They look ridiculous. Actually, Sonny looks weird with anyone.
I know, Celia. Now he’s setting himself up as a surrogate dad to Sasha and even THAT seems forced. And Carly selling that white elephant of a house is going to garner more real estate news than the arrival of the Statue of Liberty. One important question: Will that bowl full of moss be included in the purchase price or put up for auction?
You are a bright, “starshining” gift!! I dedicate the uplifting hippie song to you: “ Goid Morning Starshine”—
Plus, sending you a million hugs and kisses —and a heartfelt HaHaHaHa.
I’ve wondered about that bug-trap mods thingy since we first had an expansively/tiny ( pardon the oxymoron)look at that kitchen sitting in that supposedly mammoth mansion.
Do the servants have separate living and cooking quarters with a huge kitchen to accommodate such a powerful, immense figure such a Ms Carly? Poor Sasha-cornered by Gladys and Sonny—now, add that salivating psychiatrist who needs to be thoroughly psycho-analyzed himself.
Pardon the typos—Ciao, bella!!
As a former snake, I really have to take exception to being compared to Nina.
Nina is the LAST person on GH who is a “snake.” Carly is the most fitting for that description and has been since she first arrived on the scene over 25 years ago; hasn’t changed except that she had kids and is older. She’s hypocritical, vindictive, judgmental, invasive, intrusive, and lacks the ability for self-reflection and recognition of her wrongs. She rationalizes every horrible thing she does…
Carly is loyal? Tell that to Jax, the father of her daughter, the man she cheated on while she was engaged to him, who remarried Sonny even after Sonny tried to kill Jax and another time had him deported. I’m thinking stealing your mother’s husband isn’t the epitome of loyalty either.
Nina didn’t “let Peter burn down her friend’s bar” and she did alert Dr. O that he was in Nixon Falls so that he and his threats would be dealt with. If you recall, Peter threatened to have James kidnapped if Nina alerted the police, which is WHY Nina called her aunt Liesl instead.
This is not the first time Carly has come between a parent and his or her child. She needs to stop inserting herself into others parent/child relationships and needs to pay for the ones she has. If there’s any snake in Port Charles it’s Carly.
And “left Ned to drown?” You mean when she immediately took out her phone to call for help, looked up and saw Tracy already on the phone and saw nufakeDrew doing CPR? Is that how she “left him” to drown? OMG; That statement was funny! (But you didn’t mean it to be, did you? smh, lol.) Though not as funny as Ned gleefully running to “tattle” on Nina and then trip on that towel! Hilarious scene; played it over a few times.
Celia, my dear, how I suffered the other day when Miss Clumpy Heels gave Sam her “I am Carly, hear me roar” speech. Who knew selling a house the audience rarely sees could inspire a new wave of solidarity in Port Charles? And why does every little thing she or Sonny does warrant so many unnecessary scenes? And now Carly and Sam are BFFs… they’re going to have to rewrite the book on unholy alliances!
You never cease to entertain me—I am really confused, though—I was under the impression that Carly was Sam’s ( who also gets to me to infinity) nemesis. Unholy is right/-well, what can I say—-once you share sleeping with brothers, the unholy alliance id already in the works.
This is the same Sam who could not tell the difference between Jason and Drew in bed. Go figure. I would think everyone has his/her “style” of lovemaking—i wouldn’t know—-but, who bought that risible and farcical idea?
Again, pardon the typos—-the kids are pressing me—-going to the beach—-Oh, yeah—not!!

Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)

It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
General Hospital
Steve Burton Reportedly Signs Three-Year Contract with ‘General Hospital’

The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

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.

Courtesy/ABC
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.
