Courtesy/ABC
On Thursday’s episode of General Hospital, several stories are about to have a junping off point when they are revealed.
Unfortunately for fans of the ABC daytime drama series, viewers will need to wait till Monday to find out the ramifications since GH is preempted today. In story, Dr. Griffin Munro (Matt Cohen) has come to see Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). He admits he has been following her. After first being a little unnerved by it, Griffin asks Anna if they can meet publicly so he can tell her something. But then he is called away to the hospital in the issue of Tracy’s (Jane Elliot) brain biopsy and condition, that he believes is not going to turn out to be Dr. Mayes (Matt Riedy) diagnosis of cancer, but something else.
Meanwhile, Anna calls Andre (Anthony Montgomery) asks him to meet with her. She questions if he knows anything about Griffin, and why he might be following her. Andre assures Anna to his best knowledge Griffin is a stand up guy. Anna feels like she may have met Griffin somehow years ago, but can’t put her finger on it.
After Dillon (Robert Palmer Watkins) stands up to Dr. Mayes, he tells Griffin he wants him to figure out what is going on with his mother’s condition. Griffin says he has seen something similar to this in Mexico. Brad (Parry Shen) later happens by and tells Griffin he will help him gain access to the results of Dr. Mayes biopsy of Tracy.

Meanwhile at Wyndemere, Laura (Genie Francis) and Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) are preparing themselves for the reading of Helena’s will! Sam (Kelly Monaco) arrives for the reading as well, and after getting into a bitch fight with Hayden (Rebecca Budig) over her investigated the new Mrs. Cassadine’s background eventually speaks one on one to Laura.
It is in this scene that Laura apologizes to Sam for her part in covering up Jason’s (Billy Miller) identity. After the women come to terms with that moment in time, Sam reveals to Laura that Helena put a curse on her with her dying breath, something which Laura reveals she knows about all to well. Laura reveals to Sam that Helena cursed her as well. Later, when Sam meets up with Jason, and after he leaves, Sam realizes he left behind the plaque from the Quartermaine crypt with his name on it. She touches it and Sam cuts her finger on it. Is the Cassadine curse beginning to play out?
So, what do you think Griffin is about to tell Anna? And while many have already read the previews that Helena leaves certain “gifts” behind for those attending her will reading, what would you have Helena leave behind for Sam, Laura, Nikolas, and others?

Chloe Lanier’s New Short Film ‘The Reveal’ Releases First Trailer
As previously reported, Chloe Lanier, the actress who plays naughty Nelle Benson on ABC’s General Hospital, has been busy at work on a special project. And while Nelle is upset having just been denied parole on the ABC soap opera, (something tells us nothing will stop her from getting out of the slammer), Lanier on the other hand has been very excited about her new short film, The Reveal.
The Reveal in which Lanier stars, co-wrote, and co-directed along with her boyfriend, Kevan McClellan also has some very familiar faces along for the ride from Port Charles and Genoa City. That’s because Brytni Sarpy (Elena, Y&R) and Josh Swickard (Chase, GH) are also part of the film.
The action takes place at a gender reveal party for a baby, and according to the loglines of the short: “Zoe and James are a young couple attending their new-age friends gender reveal party. As they attempt to find their place amongst the eclectic group of party guests and friends, unsung wishes and hidden resentments begin to surface within their relationship.”

WATCH: Jonathan Jackson + Enation’s New Music Video “The Days Are Evil”
Five-time Daytime Emmy winner from General Hospital, and former Nashville star, Jonathan Jackson (Ex-Lucky, Ex-Avery) has released a new music video for the new single “The Days Are Evil” along with his band Enation.
The music video features shots of Jackson in a very dark incarnation, and the track will also appear on Jackson + Enation’s upcoming album due out later this fall, Ultraviolet Empire.
Jonathan says of the new album: “Our new album, Ultraviolet Empire, is a throwback record. It’s a record we played together live in the studio. Most of the songs are one take -just letting the band play. It was amazing playing with our co-producer Colin Linden and capturing something so raw and visceral.”
This will be the band’s follow-up to their 2017 album Anthems for the Apocalypse and their successful 2018 tour in Europe opening for Echo & The Bunnymen,
Check out the music video featuring Jonathan released this week below.
Then, let us know, should Lucky return to Port Charles for the Nurses’ Ball with his band and play a tune off the new album next spring? Will Jonathan come home to GH for a guest appearance? Will you be checking out the new music from him in the coming months? Comment below.

Griffin wants to tell Anna that he is her son, or her nephew. He is Leora’s twin, stolen at birth? Or, Alex’s child? Or Lindsey’s?
Baddie Charlotte absconded him and hid him somewhere, or gave him away.
Will David Hayward resurface? I may be way off base, but I know there is a connection between them….a familial connection. That’s why Dr. Munro is so familiar to Anna.
He could be Aiden Devane, having had facial reconstructive surgery. Yes, yes, yes…..rubbing my hands together, at the prospect/possibilities….doing a happy dance!!!!!! If some of the AMC’s beloved characters will return, whether recasts or not, would be my pleasure!
I’m really hoping griffin is related to Anna somehow Anna needs family in town.. Hope it’s not something dopey like duke incarnated or something like that, it’s not going to fly. I’m telling you griffin looks like a young Tristan Rogers. As for the other plots I hope Helena gives Liz some money for kidnapping little jake.
GH has become very transparent, and that means no suspense or mystery, just transparent..
Know what’s going to happen–
The second Anna said he looked familiar, I knew he was of Duke’s DNA..
0ooh when Tracy had her 1st sign of illness I said;
It was a parasitic brain infection, worms in the brain thing..
And, it will be, wait for it .. / too transparent..
You did, su. I remember…and so did I….as told by my husband. Malignant, benign or an infection. But, you were very sure it was an infection. You called it.
Timmm did suggest that Larry put something in Tracy’s drink….could have been some kind of fetid additive.
Hi, su,
I though that today’s episode held some suspense. Don’t you agree? Obviously, Griffin in a towel, sporting a scar on his lower left part of his abdomen was done for a reason. We were meant to see that…mystery and suspense.
I agree it is not the salivating suspense some of us expect, but I got to see Griffin’s exposed bod, again. Maybe next time he’ll be wearing just a loin cloth. ….KIDDING!!
Also, the name Griffin Fitzgerald Munro really seemed to have jarred Anna, albeit she made an Herculean effort to be impassive. That added a little suspense for me. So, Anna knows a Fitzgerald from her past. That interests me.
We were also treated to an innocent but charged interlude between Griffin and Maxie ( love her and those booties). Will something between them develop when Maxie finds out Nathan lied to her? ….waiting for Claudette!
Some reports are that he is Duke’s son, from another mother. If true, that’ll hurt!!!
Very interesting, Tristan….so many possibilities.
You called it, Tristan. You are right.
I must say, though, Anna seems to welcome these news, in a bittersweet way. I guess it hurts in a different way. She regrets neither father or son ever met. Sad.
Like i said under a different posting…he is her son or her sister’s son…
So did I, Jimmy. But, which sister? Anna had/has two. Alex and Lindsey, if I am not mistaken.
They cannot mention Anna’s family from AMC, because of the Prospect Park lawsuit.
ahhhh Anna has sisters.. I did not that..
hmmm then he may not be of Duke DNA ..
but geez how far back are they digging to grab a sister?
The doc. is about 30? so going back 30 years?
Didnt know there was two…thats interesting to know.
@jimh.
Hey, Jimmy.
I double checked with my Gran and she said that Anna had two half sisters; Alex and Lindsey (Aidan Devane Turner’s) mother. The sisters were borne of three different mothers but had the same father.
Charlotte Devane was Alex’s mother, and she was a witch, according to my grandmother. LOL.
Charlotte did so many despicable things; my Gran speculates that Charlotte could have kidnapped Griffin as a baby. So, he could be offspring to one/any of the sisters.
Thank you and your gran for that info about Anna’s sisters…i didnt watch much of AMC when Anna was there and barely remember much of her storyline-so unlike me…but yet i can remember stuff from the 60s and 70s when i was soooooooo young…lol
@Tristan.
Hey, Tristan,
Of course you are right….I forgot all about that, Tristan. It would have been an ok premise, though, no. ……and I would have absorbed every gripping moment if Lindsey were not dead after all.
This PROSPECT PARK thing will forever be looming over the soap to the end. Enervating!!Too bad TPTB cannot hand pick a few characters from Anna’s past on AMC.
@Tristan.
Again, Tristan, I must say how correct you were. I was way off base thinking it had to do with AMC.
I cannot remember who linked Griffin to Duke on these boards, but that person was on right on target. Fitzgerald is an Irish name…..was Duke Irish or Scottish?
Is Helene even dead…she could leave Laura her wardrobe, Sam her brain, Alexis a bra and Nik learns he is bankrupt and has to move in a trailer park with Hayden/Rachel?whoever-whatever she is, Liz learns Jake is a clone and Jason learns he isnt Jason….lol
LOL
especially the trailor Park Nicholas… this will really test the allegiance of Hayden, now wouldn’t it
it seems the griffin munro mystery has taken hold and eclipsed… every one else… that being Jason; Hayden/Rachel; and ???
I must say… i’m intrigued to know… who Claudette is… ??? I think it’s Kiki real name ??? finally… “they are” ? getting to the mystery of Nina possibly being Kiki long lost child?
Hi, Patrick.
At the risk of patting my own back, lol…..as soon as a fuss was made by bringing focus to that glove in Nathan’s tux-side-pocket, I posted the fact that there was a mystery woman behind that glove. Someone else, I think Rose, responded by saying that whoever it was, still held meaning to him for having had it and by putting it back in his pocket without disposing of it. Good call, Rose…it does have meaning for Nathan, which will open a nasty, smelly can of worms.
I took a wild guess and I was right. Yeayyy!! LOL.
Nathan and his mother, talked about Claudette briefly, I believe. From the little I understood, Claudette was not a nice girl snd broke Nathan’s heart. It was left at that.
However, I do believe Claudette will show up in PC trying to ‘revive’ what, I hope, was a torrid, tumultuous , but soooo destructive love affair. As I previously mentioned….there is a love triangle waiting in the wings….
I wanted to post this….
I was soooo taken… with ; Felicia… what a mother tigress
just being so… doggone cute and upfront… without being confrontational…
Felicia brought Nathan…. this black poodle… LOL here’s Claudette
Here’s my daughter Miaxie.. we’re on to you
buck up
LOL
Nathan.. he’s in for the log haul right… those looks just stifle any misgivings at time
loved how Maxie was right on point… LOL waking / shaking him… who is Claudette
I love women for their sixth sense and wherewithal
its about Timely for Nathan and Maxie to flex some muscle and wing
he’s earned his stripe… and Maxie gets to reign… with her man… and at Crimson
love all the other things about GH
outside of Jason and Sam… and Sonny and Carly ; i’ll throw in Julexis
there’s plenty that the GH headwriters need to catapult
Felicia is a DREAM… w/Big MAc
You’re welcome, Jimmy. My grandmother is 75, with a sharp wit and memory….sometimes better than mine. I loved AMC, but I can’t remember details as well as she. I was young and carefree, Lol…..I had never heard of Charlotte or Lindsey until Gran mentioned them.
I thought that the only link GH and AMC had was Anna, Alex, and Aidan. Was Aidan ever on GH? To be honest, I thought he was Alex’s son not Lindsey’s.
I TRULY – want – some thing… any-thing… to MOVE Laura !!!!
why shouldn’t Helena… in all her magnanimous fortitude… salute Laura… and bequeath Laura with POWER !!!!
Genie Francis NEEDS to focus on herself!!!
which is simply put : GH !!!! forever and day.. give Laura a storyline…
besides being the queen of virtue and if she eats one more candy bar…. I’ll shuck GH
again
I want that Helena has stipulated.. that Nicholas and Laura WORK together… and reign as mother and son… and fight for ELQ and fortress WindeMear… and catapult the Cassadine Dynasty
I’m already so over Jason and Sam; and Carly and Sonny
why shouldn’t GH give the Cassadine Dynasty some reign and Power… argh! Laura … if she continues to be mother Theresa… sexless… with no imagination… no pull…
hey Patrick..
The Cassadine Dynasty is a true sop power family and the Casidiones were/are the spark that started all the big fires, some a 5 alarm..
GH needs the Cassadines back, like yesterday..
I was more than disappointed when reading Easton will once again be a doctor when he would/could be an awesome Cassidine!
No, no, no monsieur Patrick! ELQ needs to get back to its rightful owners, the Q’s! That is THEIR company, it has always bern a part if their story and I wouldn’t want to see Laura pulled in yet again to anothet of Nic’s
i’m just impatiently waiting out… story time… for Genie Francis
what’s it going to be ?????
fans were clamoring for her return… and SHE IS GOLD !
that being said… I don’t want her to be just the token voice of reason… and a dutiful grandmother
was hoping Helena would bequeath …and stipulate that perhaps .. the Cassadine fortune is not as ailing as Nicholas stated… and that this gives Nicholas more power and reign at his disposal…
I certainly don’t think Laura would be globetrotting wonder woman espionage.. as long as it’s to Amsterdam to tell AG to forget about showing up to win his 8th emmy
this is Laura Time… just playing the waiting game… did J and S ?? write for Genie Francis when she was Genevieve ??? gosh darned it… I loved Genie Francis playing Genevieve… what verve get go and sure of her appeal
The last thing I want GH to do with Laura, after promising that Genie is going to have a big storyline, is to have Helena’s bequest to Laura to send her off on some “adventure” – meaning we don’t see her onscreen for 3 months. This woman is soap royalty and has been ignored and maligned enough by TPTB and, in my opinion, certain actors who would throw her under the bus rather than allow her to remind them of the glory of LnL. Give Genie her due and do right by her finally.
Yes, “do right” by Genie!
I think you may be right about this ‘adventure’ of Laura’s ….or a wild goose chase, Nancy.
I surely hope this ‘key’ will not take her search of ‘whatever’ too far. Maybe keep her within the confines/perimeters of PC.
But, as I understand it, Laura is no shrinking violet….would she embark for parts unknown in search of that which the key will unlock? Pandora’s box, mayhap?
I cant help but think Griffin may know something about Carlos.
Please just give Laura a story! A great story! Not coming back til this happens.
When I first saw Griffin in scenes with Anna I thought he could be a younger brother. I do not know off all Anna’s family connections. I know FH appeared on All My Children as Anna’s twin Alex. Thus a nephew may not be far off.
Today GH was perfectly decent today! Save for fast forwarding through the Sonny scenes, I actually found myself watching every scene with interest.
My favorite? Why that would be Laura educating Hayden on the dynamics of the Gatsby and Daisy romance.
Thank you, Laura. Because yesterday it was driving me crazy (and well all know that is a short drive for me) when Lizzy and others read Hayden’s inscription on the first edition of The Great Gatsby. Really, what kind of idiot would defile a first edition of an enduring classic such as The Great Gatsby with such a stupid and insipid inscription? Moreover, what kind of moron would write,”To my Gatsby from your Daisy” as if this was a wonderful romance? Either Hayden is a tone deaf idiot or she is engaging in Freudian slippery.
But dear, sweet, and insightful Laura admonished Hayden for her foolery and educated her on the nature of Daisy and Gatsby. Daisy, asserted Laura, is based on a common weed, the daisy, which stinks and dies quickly. The daisy does not contain the more transcendent qualities of other flowers such as the rose and thusforth, is not worthy of Gatsby’s love. Moreover, it is Gatsby’s obsessional love for Daisy (a love which cannot ever be quenched because it’s predicated upon imaginary pinions) which leads to Gatsby’s death.
Laura tells Hayden that she will not allow her to become her son’s “Daisy.”
These lines were beautifully written and reflected an understanding of The Great Gatsby. Finally, these lines were beautifully delivered by Genie Frances who was pitch perfect in her delivery.
The only thing that bothered me about Laura’s description of Daisy’s as being a “weed” is that daisies were always Laura’s favorite flower. There was talk in the 80s and 90s stating that. Fine analogy for Hayden, but Laura wouldn’t equate daisies to that. Oh well, another insignificant detail of rewrites that bothers me.
Harry 1, I, too, loved it that Laura put Hayden’s in her place. Wish she had gone on to quote the line from The Great Gatsby about “careless” people leaving their messes for other people to clean up.”
That line would have been perfect, Nancy. Maybe it’s coming?
I had forgotten that the daisy was Laura’s favorite flower. I never cared for daisies myself.
Well said Harry!
Continued…another of Nic’s wrongdoings. What I WOULD like to see is Jason aligning himself with the Quartermaine’s his real family…and help them to take back what was stolen.
I too want a great story for Laura, nut not at the expense of losing the woman she’s always been…loving, supportive, wise…at the same time action oriented when need be. They can make her dynamic withouy corrupting her.
As for the Cassadines, they alwayd been the evil yet mesmerizing clan. Unfortunately the writers killed them off. Hopefully some old and new sill start spfinging up to up the edge again.
I totally concur with you here, Rebecca and I think this might happen
hi rebecca1
Jason and Dillan will work together to get ELQ back..
It is inevitable that ELQ will be returned to the Q’s..
The cassidine are Aliens or something, they can not die they are immortal. lol
A Cassidine is never dead, as in dead … lol
I really would love a Cassadine invasion !
I totally agree… that ELQ will be back in it’s rightful place… at the “Q”
I just find it too .. ho hum… at every thing Jason does… spins or weaves in to gold… and he is merely toying with Nicholas… which bugs me
which simply put… all the story for Nicholas… will go by the wayside… as it has been
who doesn’t want good story for; Nicholas and mom Laura… I like the angst Hayden brings…
it just smarts that Liz is asking Sam to NOT stop her investigation in to Rachel… which is interesting to a point…
OK… I had wanted my new superman Nicholas to keep manning up… argh! Jason cant have it all
PS: I really was taken aback… when Carly and Jason were in the “Q” crypt right after the sublime Jane Elliott… magnified Tracy forge onward and upward
when Jason ripped out his ??? headstone… and Carly should never have even been in their…. knowing her history with the Q and her alliance with Sonny… it just reeked of tasteless… once again… she’s given the task of being all that and sharing with her bff his past.
altho… fans recall that neither Sonny or Carly have yet to tell Jason.. how AJ was murdered.
wow… lots going on
I have to give both of you…Harry and Su…exrra credit for deciphering my many typos! I’m constantly posting from ny phone and by the time I realize ny delicate lil fingers have hit the wrong key they’ve magically hit send!
And I agree with both of you…who agree with me. 😉
Doesn’t Anna have a twin sister? I thought she was married to Dimitri’s brother on AMC??
Yes, Nicky. Anna has a twin, Alex and another sister, Lindsey, who has died. Aidan Devane is Lindsey’s son.
