GENERAL HOSPITAL: What’s Up With Elizabeth?

By Michael Fairman

Published

Friday’s episode of General Hospital, finally moved the story of the haunting of Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) along a bit, after it has been a very slow build for the audience. As it turns out, and with the new developments, it appears that Liz has been going in and out of a catatonic state, while sleeping walking.

With a tip from Violet (Jophielle Love), Finn (Michael Easton), who is chatting with Gregory (Gregory Harrison), recalls Liz was having trouble sleeping and was that she given a sleeping aid. He thinks he may be on to something so he decides to go to Liz’s house to talk to her.

Meanwhile, Liz comes to her house and tears Finn and Violet out of the picture that Violet drew, and then gets a scissors and starts cutting pieces off of the drawing, bit by bit.

Cameron (William Lipton) comes home and see his mother.  She does not respond to him and appears in a trance-like state. He is getting more upset by the moment, and then Finn arrives on the scene.

Finn is able to get the scissors from Liz, and also get her to snap out of her trance.  Liz talks with Finn and wonders what is happening? She doesn’t even remember how she got home.  When Cameron fills Liz in on what she was doing … cutting up the drawing and all … Finn tells Liz he believes she is the one who is haunting herself.

In tears, if what Finn is claiming is true, then it is she who is responsible for slashing her dress, setting fire to Franco’s studio, and hitting Chase over the head.  In that moment, a teary-eyed Liz recognizes that something is terribly wrong, saying, “What’s happening to me?”

Finn promises Liz they will get to the bottom of this as Cameron looks on.

So, what is happening to Liz and why? Is this just a case of another sleeping pill storyline on soaps, where someone does not recall their actions or where they are going in the middle of the night a la Nighttime Hope on DAYS? Is someone controlling Liz to make her do these things?  Is something else physically wrong with Liz causing her behavior? Share your thoughts on this storyline … and where you think this is all heading via the comment section below.

I doubt the writers even know? Michael, If you read these comments, do you know what’s going on at General Hospital? Why do you things seem to be such a mess? Where is Roger Howarth? Thank you!

Good question—why has Roger Howarth’s character been seen so little in the last three months?

I’m guessing the writers don’t know what to do with Austin. His pairing with Maxie is lackluster at best. Howarth is a very good actor. Despite the despicable things Todd or Franco did, one still paid attention because of Howarth.

Austin just seems dull and undefined. He has no spark with Maxie. There’s no more controversy with the Q’s. Disney/ABC won’t let him play Todd or Franco. Sadly, no reason for Howarth to stick on the canvas longer.

My guess is that they need to use the Shady Brook set again. It’s been a while since Carly’s last stay.

Looks like an Ambien coma to me. At least they aren’t going totally over the top with it, like they did with Hope on Days of Our Lives a few years back. She was living an entirely different life while on the pills. Liz just seems to be zoning out for minutes at a time, as opposed to hours.

Maybe this will clear up the rumors that I was heading for Port Charles, so soon after ending my time in Salem. Some folks saw Liz wearing red and thought…. “oh yeah, she’s possessed by the Devil”.

Nah…. not this time anyway.

Have not watched the show in a long time I thought maybe they were going to give her DID remember her rape story years ago old clips show where she said she had to escape within herself etc wonderful scenes with JJ but I guess we can’t give anybody a storyline over there except for screaming Carly and whispering Sam

I think it’s what they call DID in a combination with sleeping pills Finn mentioned. So she wacked Chase on the head but really doesn’t seem violent as Hope was on DOOL years ago. I just wonder what the purpose of all this is and who gives a damn?

Hopefully somebody will remember what happened to her as a teenager, and they’ll realize that Lucky Spencer is the only one who can truly get through to her, and that will be an excuse to bring him back to Port Charles….. just in time for Laura’s big episode, of course.

Or is a Devil being too optimistic that this show might actually invest some time & resources in writing for the characters who made this show what it was in it’s greatest years?

Violet…Answer to your question. I don’t give a damn. And which I like Rebecca, I have rarely ever cared about any of Elizabeth’s stories.

Violet..I don’t give a damn about this story either. Or a lot of other strange stories Elizabeth has gotten stuck with over the years. And her bad luck with her love life.

rose
I agree with you, Soaphound too. I guess it’s confession time. I’ve never liked Elizabeth but love her men, Roger and Michael.

Violet…I’ve always had a problem with Elizabeth and her choices. This goes for some other viewer favorites. But they don’t seem to get the notoriety of some of their mistakes like Nina.
And I’m perfect!

Me, too, Violet. You know you’re in trouble when little Violet (how cute is she?) solves the mystery!

Well hopefully her stay at Shady Pines will turn her into a new person, one we don’t recognize.

My take away from this storyline so far is I’m intrigued, I’m mean do I know where they are going with it? No, but that’s what’s made it interesting, And you know what? OMG, Rebecca has a storyline!!!! So I’m over the moon and as far as I’m concern the show can drag this one out for as long as they want.

OMG!!

Becky Herbst has been amazing in this storyline!

Liz’s stories are so weird. I would love for her and some other legacy characters to have genuinely engaging stories to tell. She is legacy, but she seems surrounded by so many characters and has been in tales that never really clicked with me. Still cannot accept her child who died never really did. Too much!

I think Becky Herbst is amazing. But I don’t like the way Finn has been so possessive of her and dismissive of her feelings. The two actors have no chemistry and the story isn’t exactly making me fall for them as a couple. Can Elizabeth seek help from the sorely missed Dr. Gatlin Holt? We know they would have chemistry.

I’m sorry, but Finn hasn’t really clicked with ANY of his leading ladies so far. Not sure why GH has given him three different characters and none of them has really caught fire.

Darby
From what I just read, you may have nailed Liz’s problem on the head.
Seems like she’s fighting or resisting all of Finns bossy or controlling ways and possessiveness as you said.

I hate the Finn & Liz pairing.

As do I. Hayden needs to return for Finn and Elizabeth needs to get back with Drew or Franco, aka Austin.

Becky was amazing in these scenes, I hope they acknowledge that she’s been pressured by friends and family to move on with Finn when she’s clearly not ready.

It’s her sister,Hayden waiting for her to return hurry up and show her

And Roger wasn’t in the 15,000 episode cast picture. The Austin character is a bore, and matching him with Maxie is not a good fit. I’ve adored Roger since he played Paul Ryan on ATWT and I actually liked his rendition of Franco, but Austin is a dud.

Margherita
Yes, to everything you said and furthermore Roger is wasted on Maxi. Back during the holidays I thought maybe Austin and Britt might get together, but that didn’t work.There has to be someone worthy of him, right?

I could see a matching between Austin and Britt as well. That definitely seemed possible a few months ago but Roger has probably only been on the show a few times since then. If Hayden were to return, a Rebecca Butig and Roger pairing might work, though I did like Hayden with Finn. Seems the character of Austin is on life support.

For me, the character of Elizabeth has always been a vital one, in that she is the only link to original character Steve Hardy; as many of us know, Elizabeth is the daughter of Jeff Webber, who in turn is the son of Steve Hardy. Also, I have always liked the character of Elizabeth, and I feel that Rebecca Herbst has done a great job with her portrayal. And I remember a time when Herbst was fired from GH, only to be rehired after a massive fan backlash. (You see, Viewers, sometimes our voices are indeed heard…) I am thus ecstatic any time Elizabeth is given a major storyline, no matter how unusual it may seem.

I also feel strongly about Genie Francis as Laura, again a character with a lengthy tenure and legacy, links to the 70s (via her mother Leslie), a catalyst for the highest ratings ever achieved for a daytime soap, and a great actress as well. I am so thrilled that there will soon be a well-deserved Laura-centric special episode.

My advice to TPTB: Honor the legacy characters, honor the viewers, respect continuity, and remember the show’s title…

Jamesj75
I respect your choices and realize that Rebecca is a huge fan choice, but I am not one of her followers and don’t really care who her grandparents were, she just isn’t my cup of tea. I like her family, the kids, her sister,her niece Violet and most of the men in her life are great. Iam hoping her time at Shady Brook will enlighten us all about her latest problem.

Hello Violet: I appreciate your input here. I suppose our tastes in tea are different, which is fine, of course. I think my larger, perhaps underlying, point is that the show should respect its roots, aka the hospital, where Steve and Audrey Hardy worked and Elizabeth works. You said you “don’t really care who her grandparents were.” I do. Maybe it’s nostalgia. Maybe the long-term viewer is rewarded when nods are given to a show’s rich history. Just the inclusion of Elizabeth on the canvas, despite any detractors, is a link I appreciate.

I watch DOOL regularly, and that show does a great job of honoring its history, its roots. Characters sometimes mention Tom and Alice Horton, and there is a plaque in the town square where much of the action occurs. At the show’s opening, we can still hear the voice of the deceased actor who played Tom Horton. My opinion is that we should respect and acknowledge those who have come before, those who paved the way. Cheers!

Beautifully said, Jamesj75. I think that’s exactly what’s often missing these days — connections to the show’s pasts. Last week during a rare Esther sighting on Y&R, clips of Katherine Chancellor, a core original character, were included and made such a difference in the quality and resonance of the episode. Whatever we feel individually about certain characters (I happen to like Elizabeth), we shouldn’t forget that they’re needed in the show’s tapestry. And I’m someone who finds great joy, comfort, and strength in nostalgia. These past two or three generations have no interest in anything that occurred before their “ever so important” lives began. I can’t imagine my life as a “boomer” without music and films from the 1930s onward, let alone much older Mozart, Pachelbel, Bach. These younger, tech and social media-driven folks are really shortchanging themselves.

Hello, Soaphound. Thank you so much for the backup. I’m also a baby boomer, with a penchant for nostalgia. So I still play music from the 70s, for me, so comforting and enjoyable. And for me, the 70s were the halcyon days of GH, the entire decade.

Thanks for mentioning that Y&R episode. That show kept Katherine Chancellor front and center for seemingly her entire tenure, when other soaps were barely using their older characters. Best to you, Friend.

Jamesj75
I owe you a sincere apology. I’ve watched GH since it started but drifted away in the late ’60s, probably due to no recording devices back then and my preferences seemed to have been CBS shows until I could start recording and got back to Days and GH. That was the first I saw of Liz and when she spoke of Audrey as Grandma, it was a shock.i agree with every darn thing you said and I apologize for being crass, that was not my intention.I don’t know why but the older I get my fuse gets shorter and tact was a thing of the past, so again forgive me. I don’t really dislike Liz as much as I don’t have patience with her. I better quit now before I make it worse,huh?

Violet Lemm, thanks a million for your reply! You don’t owe me an apology at all. I didn’t perceive anything negative from you, just a difference of opinion on one character. You are certainly entitled to your opinions. I have made no secret of my disdain for Sonny and Carly, so whenever I express those feelings, I am sure their fans are unhappy with me. I may second-guess myself and wonder whether I should simply make only positive, supportive comments… But we all have our favorites and least favorites…

Interestingly, from what you say, you were not viewing GH from the late 60s (when I started) through the 70s and beyond. The late 60s and 70s of GH were most enjoyable to me. Steve and Audrey, among others, were prominently featured then, thus cementing my alliance.

In closing, it’s amazingly sweet and classy of you to reach out to me here. We’ve always had positive interactions, and I thank you sincerely. Take care, Friend.

I have watched GH since it aired back in 1963.
I have seen it all and I remember the day when Elizabeth sat on her grandmothers porch , she came to live with her……
What ever you do I, do NOT write her out of the show……… it would be a terrible mistake….. on your part.
it’s time you pair her with some nice man…..
Drew would be perfect……..
and what’s up with the old franko returning as another character? Is everybody blind or stupid …….nobody ever mentions the resemblance……..do the writers take the fans for stupid? Oh my …. Oh my…..

I think they drew this storyline to give Rebecca Herbst a long vacation in real life.

Just read they are taking Violet on another camping trip. I have a bad feeling that she will get lost, hurt or otherwise. Everyone is so preoccupied with Elizabeth’s problems.

Three weeks later, lol, but I’m expecting Elizabeth will be exploring childhood trauma – explaining the absense of her dad all these years. Hopefully it gives the actress great material and her chance to shine! I have enjoyed the “slow burn” of the story.

Kevin/Ryan looks to be busy with his own arc ramping up and treating Elizabeth, too.

Kevin…For once I agree with you. And will add a couple of other things possibly haunting Elizabeth…she was raped when younger, and more recently, she and Finn hiding Peter August after he was supposedly killed after Finn pushed him down the hospital stairs. They all add up…Liz C.

Kevin McCarthy
I’ll say we have to give credit to Jon Lindstrom for his incredible seesaw acting he does with Kevin and Ryan.

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’

Published

on

By

The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).

Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.

Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON

Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”

Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).

Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.

“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?

During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.

Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.

You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.

Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Reconnects with Danny; Tristan Roberts Arrives in Port Charles, Lots of Nods to #16

Published

on

By

General Hospital’s 16,000th episode was packed with little reminders through points in today’s script that the ABC daytime drama series has set another milestone and it paved the way for the return of fan favorite and newly nominated Daytime Emmy Lead Actor nominee Steve Burton (Jason Morgan). The 16,000th episode also introduced viewers to the new surgeon in Port Charles Dr. Tristan Roberts played by Dean Geyer. 

Here are the key takeaways and what went down on the July 13 episode: Tristan and Jason are seated next to each other on a plane heading to Port Charles. Throughout the flight, a beaten up Jason has flashbacks to being thrown into, and being held captive in a cell and tortured. It appears Jason is suffering from some form of PTSD from what he was put through after being dragged out of Port Charles by the WSB months ago.

As the plane prepares to land, Tristan tells Jason there would be a car waiting for him once they land and to enjoy the rest of his life. Later, Tristan arrives at the nurses and doctors hub at GH and approaches Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). He tells her his name and that he is the new surgeon on staff.

A REUNION PLUS A HEAD NURSE DEFENDS SONNY

Meanwhile, at the end of the episode, Jason is outside the Quartermaine boathouse looking bewildered when he runs into Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), who is so thrilled to see his father, and the two hugs each other as tears are shed.

Elsewhere, Elizabeth tells Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he thinks its a great idea for him to get the 16th seat on the hospital board, but when it comes times to convince Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) of that, things go awry when Tracy, Laura and Sonny try to work things out. After Tracy launches into Sonny about killing Alan and Monica’s son AJ, Sonny walks away dejected.

Next, Sonny runs into Elizabeth, where he informs her what happened with Tracy. So what’s a head nurse to do? Elizabeth marches into the conference room and reminds Tracy of all the different donations and ways Sonny has contributed to the hospital from the Stone Cates AIDS wing, to the Michael Corinthos Center for Pediatric Head Injuries as well as his constant support each year for the GH Nurses’ Ball.

WSB WAR SCARS

Then, in one of the best parts for longtime fans of the series, Elizabeth talks about her legendary grandparents, Audrey and Steve Hardy and she tells Tracy they would have wanted Sonny to have a seat on the board for all the good that he has done for the hospital. After Elizabeth states Sonny’s case, things took a turn and Tracy and Sonny wound up shaking hands as Sonny is board member #16.

In the how great was it to see Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) together scenes department, the pick-up of last Friday’s cliffhanger is played out as the two former lovers fill each other in on what has gone down in their lives in the last several months including Valentin admitting he had been living in Carly’s attic, and Anna realizing she was kidnapped by Cullum, Sidwell and Cassius Faison. During their conversation, Anna sees the hallucination of Peter August (Wes Ramsey) right while Valentin is standing there.

Later Anna was on her way to saying goodbye to Valentin, when the two share an emotional hug. After Valentin made his exit, Peter reappeared and warned Anna to not let Valentin distract her because she has important work to do. Anna answers, “I know.”

So, what did you think of General Hospital’s 16,000 episode? What do you think is wrong with Jason? What is the important “work” that Anna has to do? Were you glad to see Sonny get a seat on the hospital board, or not so much. Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out the scenes on Jason and Tristan’s long flight to Port Charles.
