So, who are you rooting for … Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) with Michael (Chad Duell) or Willow with TJ (Tajh Bellow)?  That seems to be part of the set-up as some inroads are made in their story this week on General Hospital.

For months, Willow has been hiding from Michael that she has Leukemia.  Now, in the latest promo for the action this week on the ABC daytime drama series, Terry (Cassandra James) has bad news for the expectant mom – her Leukemia has progressed to Stage Four.

Supporting her as a good friend through her health and pregnancy ordeal has been Dr. TJ Ashford, but he has clearly been developing feelings for Willow.  Meanwhile, Michael has been busy seeking revenge on Sonny (Maurice Benard) and been kept in the dark.  Viewers are left wondering, where will this all lead?

If Michael learns the truth of Willow’s leukemia battle, will it bring them closer together … or will he be more spurned by the fact that she did not tell him the truth to begin with?  Check out the preview below.

Now, let us know, would you like to see Willow in a relationship with TJ, or do you hope she stays with Michael? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

No- Michael and Willow are on love, she didn’t even answer Tj’s text. He’s way overstepped as her doctor, and going behind her back to Britt to be at her appointment was too much. It was clear Willow didn’t have a choice. Willow just told Michael she wanted him at the appointment last night, so how do they keep having him miss them? Michael and Willow are in love, are best friends, and parents together in a committed relationship, but this writing team acts like they aren’t sleeping together EVERY night and can only talk where they are interrupted. This whole storyline was a stretch and hope it’s wrapped up this week. Michael has ALWAYS been Willow’s support even when they were friends, it makes no sense she wouldn’t tell him. Willow hasn’t even reciprocated to Tj, all her fears are still there and Michael will be the only one to help her.

I get that you love Marshmillow but TJ is not the bad guy here. Michael, who is obsessed with his step-Daddy’s love life, is. Willow felt Michael was unapproachable, and Michael is emotionally challenged so he couldn’t see she was hurting.

Just one little comment, if I may, Elsie Grace. TJ is a close friend, between a rock and a hard place. He acted as any caring friend would.

I agree with you C, my best friend is a girl and over the years there would be speculation about our “Friendship” but we always supported each other and ignored the outside noise.

Hi, my Timmmy!! Yes, absolutely–Other than my husband being my “bestest” friend, I have a male best friend, as well.—since pre-school.
Happy Thanksgiving❤️

Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and your best friend!

Willow & Michael are a solid couple who trust each other, and so are TJ & molly, there’s not gonna be any “TreeJ” affair, LOL

Michael, Michael, Michael!!

This “conflict” is so lame! First, how are we supposed to care when Molly is never on. It’s not like they’ve shown them having any problems. So why would TJ suddenly care more about his friend than his wife? The same goes for Willow. She loves Michael. Willow has always been written as the moral one in the group. Why she should suddenly cheat on Michael with a married man is beyond the pale now.

If the writers don’t have more or better stories that make sense for these characters, send them into the attic for a while.

OR, send the writers into the attic until they come up with brighter ideas.

Spot on! The writers have nothing to do for TJ so they are spinning this ridiculous story in the writing room to give the actor some work.

willow and Michael are boooooooriiiing and if she stays with him she will die, all of Michael “love”. end up dead. he’s a curse, and he’s boring even when he tries being all tuff with Sonny. Willow run as far as you can or you will die.

Agreed. Part of it is the writers fault, the other is on Duell. Willow was sweet with Chase but snoozeville with Michael. Duell kind of clicked with Sofia Mattson but most of Michael’s other romantic interests (Abby, Kiki, Sabrina) just fizzled.

Michael is the most “legacy-ish” character on the show. How is the grandson of Alan & Monica Quartermaine and Bobbie Spencer so boring? Problem is you can’t kill Michael off.

At this point, it’s tough to care about what happens to Willow. Monica, Alexis, Ava and Danny all dealt with cancer and the audience cared, despite knowing they’d survive. I continue to watch the scenes for other characters (TJ, Britt, Terry).

Chad Duell is Chad Dull! He is handsome and has some acting skills but he just has no edge to make him more than a one trick pony. Then you pair him with a talent such as the actress who plays Willow and he falters. When Chad was off and Robert Newman filled in, I liked his portrayal much better. BTW, Robert would be a good Morgan recast!

Oh, my T—Michael handsome? Noooo!! LOL– I must disagree—something which I don’t enjoy doing.
From a female point of view: here it is….small chin,
.puppy eyes that are too big for his face, and hair that looks perpetually unwashed..
However, sometimes looks do not matter if a guy displays a great personality and sensuality. He does not have a sexy bone in his body–pardon the pun. I know, I’m a naughty girl. I beg everyone’s forgiveness.❤️
Thank you Timmy for your well wishes—we survived covid and so much more–still standing, my friend.

Wow, C, I believe you! How long was THAT built up inside you? Michael is not manly, I agree. He is a step above Spinelli but many steps below Justin Hartley!

And yes, blessed beyond words, my family and friends all made it through the “Covid Years!

LOL, T—nope, it has not been inside of me because it’s not the first time I’ve made my feelings for Michael known. I do not like him and I cannot see him as an interesting anything. No charisma!!
Spinelli? Well, he is appealing and interesting; therefore the “whimpiness” fades away for me. I enjoy this character very much. As I said, looks aren’t everything. Michael, on the other hand, is just there.
Ciao❤️

I could see him as Morgan if he dropped the Ralph Macchio accent. That just doesn’t fit the character of either Corinthos brother.

On the other horn… I’m still not convinced that the Morgan recast isn’t already in place… just with the usual “memory issues” & plastic surgery typical of GH recasts. Talking about Dex, of course.

When Duell’s playing Michael, I see him as the son of Sean Kanan’s AJ. When Adamson is playing Michael, I see him as the son of Billy Warllock’s AJ.

Still not convinced Morgan is due back for a while. They’re definitely leaning towards Dex and Joss hitting the sheets which rules him out as Morgan (but leaves open the door to Dex as AJ’s long lost son).

Hmmm–I like it, DG Steve–Dex as AJ’s son…And, yes, it looks like he and Joss will become an item, albeit he is sooo puny—not into tiny guys. Just sayin’. Poor Cam!!

OG Steve
There have been rumors of Dex being a son Sonny never knew about. Makes sense of why Dex is so loyal to him.

Dex is a wooden boy toy soldier! I hope that isnt Morgan!

We all know where this is going. There will be some sort of medical research that says Willow can be healed through blood, bone marrow, or stem cells. Enter Saint Nina The All Benevolent Hero & Savior.

/end severe Satanic sarcasm mode, but you only wish I was kidding. We all know they will do anything to make the Parasite look good.

Yes, she’ll be singing a different song then about her new-found daughter.Gosh, how will we ever get rid of Nina now? Can’t stand her,funny, I didn’t mind her with “Mike” but her cutesy way with Sonny makes me crazy!

Sonny really should pay attention to what Michael told him today. Nina is “poison” and she’s ruined his life. Unfortunately I think she’s planted the seeds of jealousy inside Michael’s head and he looked like he was about to completely misinterpret what he walked in on at the hospital. Hopefully he will think about his own words to his father and see that she’s running the same scam on him.

Satan
Really surprised at Michael’s reaction to Nina’s accusation. What I really loved was Willow’s answer to Nina’s apology. Hopefully, Sonny will see how destructive she can be.i liked Nina when she married Valentin but she’s turned into a real bitch!

Oh Violet, here is the rare case when we disagree. While I hate wasting any poor gal on Sonny, I particularly hate the Nina pairing. But Ms. Watros does remarkably well in being convincingly in love with that wet blanket. I still like Nina while I find Willow’s complete abdication of her own opinions and character to the dreadful Michael to be a major error on the writers’ part. She used to be bright and reasonable; now she’s as intolerable as her boyfriend…and as joyless. I don’t defend Nina’s concealing of Sonny all those months…but Michael’s treatment of Sonny, Chase, and even Ned isn’t much better. My question is…how long will Carly wait to reveal Nina’s motherhood and will it cause trouble for her and Droop, since she lied to his face. What do you think?

Soaphound
I’m not quite sure what you are referring to about not agreeing, because I think I DO agree with all the points you’ve made except Nina is getting on my last nerve with her constant gossiping, starting rumors about Willow and E.J and insinuating herself into everyone’s lives which in a way makes sense seeing as she wants to be in every aspect of Sonny’s life.I know what you mean about Willow and I think it’s just her desire to “stand by her man” but the end result does not look good on her.

I love Nina! Possibly it’s because Cynthia Watros’s charm, innate kindness and terrific sense of humor comes through her character. I’ll take Nina over that sanctimonious and hypocritical Carly any day.

I’m with you on this, Harry. I don’t get why Nina bothers so many viewers but to each their own. I think Cynthia Watros does something miraculous — she makes you believe she really loves Sonny. A real feat since Mr. Corinthos is such a polarizing character. And don’t get me started on Carly. She reminds me of an old joke someone made about a famous diva: “Were she to collide with a Mack truck, it’s the truck that would need your sympathy.”

Harry…I like Nina, too. Especially “Mike” and her in Nixon Falls. Now in Port Charles I think she is trying to accommodate living around his family and his real “career,” while keeping independent of it. And reboot her own career ambitions. But I think it’s best she keeps out of his family stuff, and just keep supportive.

Harry…As a P.S. I miss Phyliss and Lenny from Nixon Falls as well. Liked their pub. Wish they could at least have more of Phyliss in Port Charles. She seems to have a steadying affect on both Nina and Sonny/Mike.

Nina was alright back when she was with Val the Bastard & she thought Sasha was her daughter. And OK… she might be entitled to “lose it” a little when she found out that was all a lie….. but she went after the people that had nothing to do with that lie. And since the Tricky Dick Nixon Falls storyline, she’s just been over the top malicious & spiteful to everybody, and it amounts to Frank Valentini trolling the audience, because he knows nobody likes this ridiculous pairing with Sonny, her wholesale theft of Carly’s entire life, and this whole idea of her being Willow’s mother, which literally came out of nowhere, and is inevitably meant to paint her as the “town hero” for saving poor Willow’s life.

If they put her back with Val and she went back to running her own business, rather than stealing Carly’s, she would be tolerable again.

Oh, Satan—-no sooner than Willow was diagnosed with cancer, I proposed just that. Nina will be the heroine here. HURRAH!! Please to not curse me to Hell!!
And, Carly will pay the consequences for keeping the fact that Nina is Willow’s mother a secret!! YES!! Bring Carly down, the wretch!! LOL
Aside—-did you happen to see the Hook’s jawline under that hood? Looks very masculine and squarish to me.

Carly’s got more reasons for not telling Nina then just out of spite for the destruction Nina has wrought on her life (personal & business, both)

For one thing, it was Harmony’s dying wish that Carly not tell Willow. Now of course you could debate whether or not Carly owed that confidentiality to a woman who had literally just drugged her, locked her in a trunk, and intended to kill her. Maybe Carly doesn’t want to take a chance of Harmony’s ghost showing up. We all know ghosts do make occasional appearances in Port Charles, after all.

Beyond that, shortly after Harmony’s death, Willow actually said SHE didn’t want to know who her birth mother was. Naturally, this was long before she had any idea that bone marrow donations might be a helpful thing.

Knowing Carly, once she knows the reality of Willow’s health situation, she might summon her inner Spencer and come up with a way for Nina to be a bone marrow donor without disclosing that she’s been aware of certain facts since right before Harmony came to Hell. Just ask yourself “What Would Uncle Luke Do??”

You are right, of course, Satan. You always manage to make more sense than I, albeit we do come to the same conclusion more often than not.
In this case, it would be the right thing to do. Yet, Carly has no clue what’s right or wrong, especially when she allows hate to take the wheel and drive herself and others to destruction.
Also, I don’t think it’s fair for neither Nina nor Willow not to know each other’s true identity. Carly is not God ( far from it) and she should not take it upon herself to make such an impactful decision.
I always try to out myself in someone else’s shoes ( shoes again—I must have a fetish). It’s a soap, and the plot thickens. But, I won’t be a hypocrite—I hope Carly is shunned, tarred and feathered. Not very Christian of me, but if anyone understands my disdain, it is Thee!! Yes??
Ciao❤️

I’m rooting for neither Michael nor T. J… Michael is a joyless narcissist who sucks the life out of all the women he’s ever dated. And T. J. is sweet but will be loyal to Molly. This story is no doubt just a catalyst to finding out Willow’s true maternity and I AM SO BORED with “I didn’t tell you the truth because:
(A) I didn’t want you to worry.
(B) I meant to tell you.
(C) I tried to tell you but the phone rang.
(D) I thought I’d get better.
(E) I had to wash my hair.
(F) It was easier to tell a handsome stranger.”

Enough already! Michael will have his usual hissy fit, make it all about himself, and then blame Nina, Sonny, Chase, or any and all of the above. Let’s move on.

Well said, Soaphound! Michael and Willow are about as exciting as a margarine sandwich made of Wonder Bread. Speaking of wonder, the Wonder Kid is so utterly clueless when it comes to reading Willow. Clearly, she is in a state of distress- even Stevie Wonder would be able to see that! But of course this is the guy who didn’t know that Drew sharing insider information about a potential corporate merger with Carly would be considered insider training. He didn’t know until Ned (whose business savvy is vastly superior to Michael’s) told him. I swear, Michael and Drew seem to starring in an adaptation of Dumber and Dumber. But back to Willow and Michael. They are a terrible, horrible couple devoid of life and chemistry. Willow used to have spirit, a personality of her own but since she hooked up with Michael, she has turned into a listless Stepford Wife. Michael is so consumed with anger over his step Daddy’s relationship with Nina, that he is blind to the fact that his significant other is suffering. There’s a strong emotional connection between TJ and Willow that doesn’t exist between Willow and Michael. I say yes.

LOL, Harry! I knew Drip, I mean Drew, reminded me of someone: Jeff Daniels in DUMB AND DUMBER! And that horrible Michael is a perfect match, though Michael isn’t technically dumb, I suppose. Clueless is more like it. And hateful. And spiteful. And narcissistic. Shall I go on? And just what exactly is this great business acumen he miraculously possesses? I don’t recall his going to college. Just beginner’s luck, I guess. I’m with Ned on that score; Michael Quartermaine/Corinthos/Quartermaine/Corinthos needs to go!

Yup—everything you said is sacrosanct, Soaphound..
I trully abhor mother and son—so full of themselves– Michael and Carly can do no wrong. They are the epitome of all that’s righteous. Not!! Do as I say and not as I do—entitled to the extreme.
I know Nina is no saint and many don’t like her, but, at least, she is trying ( except the Sonny thing…gross and barf)—
-Willow is no angel either—I used to like her a lot more before the Chase/Sasha debacle—now, Willow displays a sharp tongue and a good amount of odium towards Nina—good people do not do that, regardless. She show a vestige of respect for her elders.
Nonetheless, this is a perfectly staged, soapy ploy about to climax.
Nina and Willow will inevitably discover their relationship by pure, positive force of nature.

Willow loves Michael she and TJ are just Friends. SHE AND MICHAEL BELONG TOGATHER THEY ARE THE LOVE OF EACH OTHER LIVES Michael will be by her side all the way.

Michael is a drip! Willow would be better with Chase! Him and Brook Lynn just dont cut it as a couple! Dr. “Aunt Stella”, forget it!

LOL Willow cheated on Chase with Michael. No Chase fan should want a redux of that. Chase actually has self-respect. He deserves better. Chase/Brook Lynn have the fiery chemistry Chase/Willow didn’t. They’ve always had more chemistry. They’re a hot, fun couple. Chalynn hits in a way Chillow couldn’t.

Chase made Willow interesting. With Chase and Brook Lynn, they are both interesting. Their dynamic is so good. Willow deserves Michael at this point. Let them be boring together. Leave Chase out of it.

Well said, Kat. Can you imagine the level of a mind that would cheat on Chase? Besides T. J. and Terry as Willow’s doctors, they need Kevin in there also. Girl’s elevator doesn’t go to the top!

Alright, what’s with the Michael bashing??? The guy.has every right to be angry with Sonny, for what he did to Carly and his family. Also, he sorta sided with “Saint Nina” at the court trial. Is he going over board in his vendetta against his father, hell yeah! Should Sonny’s family, including Jocelyn welcome Nina with open arms, hell no!! No couple is more sickening than Sonny & Nina! I don’t see the chemistry.

Lew S
Some of the points you make are good ones, but they have made the character he was even worse. He was always critical of his Corinthos family, i.e Morgan, and I think he feels more like a “Q” . We didn’t see him being all negative or judgemental with his mother when she was more than ready to jump into bed with Jason after Sonny has been gone only a few short weeks, without anyone going out of their way to find Sonny. This is a two sided story and you are right about Sonny and Nina , they make most of us sick, especially the way she hangs all over him, yuk!

‘General Hospital’s’ Hudson West Wins Big as Contestant on ‘The Price is Right’

Published

Hudson West

You just never know when one of your favorites from a soap opera will pop on TV on another show! Such was the case on the Tuesday, October 6 episode of the number one daytime game show in America, The Price is Right on CBS!

Hudson West, who has played Jake Webber on General Hospital from 2016-2019, and then has been recurring since 2021 and used very sporadically in story, was in attendance in the audience for a taping of The Price is Right. He wound up selected as one of the players and eventually won a car.

Here;’s what happened: West bid $3,000 on a five-night stay at the Bandon Marina Inn in Oregon. His opponent, Charles, bid $4,550, which was too high, so West got the chance to play the game “Any Number” for a prize.

The drama became intense as West picked the numbers needed to win a new car with host Drew Carey presiding over the game play. After he won, Hudson fell to the floor in shock before getting up and running in excitement towards his new car!

Later in the show, Hudson got the opportunity to spin the wheel to try to advance to the “Showcase” round, but his opponent named Jenny spun a higher number to qualify, ending West’s run in the game. But, he came away with the new car.

General Hospital viewers know that Hudson’s Jake Webber is the biological son of Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and became the legal son of Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson).

Apart from his role on GH, TV fans have seen West on NCIS: Los Angeles, Dancing with the Stars: Juniors and Grace and Frankie to name but a few.

You can check out what happened when Hudson won a car on The Price is Right on the video below.

Now let us know, what did you think of Hudson’s big win? Do you hope that GH finally has Jake back in story since he is the son of Elizabeth and Jason? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Did the ABC Soap Opera Just Tee Up a Jason and Serena Pairing?

Published

By

Jason and Serena

The Tuesday, October 6 episode of General Hospital kicked-off with Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) literally turned upside down and stuck on the Quartermaine roof in front of Jason (Steve Burton), who came to her rescue.

This marked the first time that Kelly Kruger and Steve Burton shared any substantial screen time together since Kruger debuted on the ABC soap opera back in July.

In story, Serena was trying to save the peregrine falcons’ nest that Tracy (Jane Elliot) wanted exterminated. Jason agreed to help Serena relocate the nest to the nature preserve. Said relocation would be put in the preserve adjacent to the property, think where Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) buried Brennan (Chris McKenna)!

Later, when they returned to the Quartermaine mansion, the two have more banter where Serena told Jason they should both check themselves for ticks. Serena has done a full body check in the bathroom, but then asks Jason to go through her hair and look for any signs of ticks. Clearly, one or both may have ticks prompting suspicion if they wind up at GH with Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) as their doctor who previously treated Ava for the tick stuck in her hair!

ROMANCE SWITCH-UPS

While initially General Hospital fans suspected that the character of Serena was being brought back to the canvas in the form of Kruger as a love interest for Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), in recent weeks and in admission by Tanisha Harper, it appears that GH is teasing a Michael and Jordan romance. The two have been spending more time together at Aurora, and Michael helped her get accepted into the burn clinic in Germany to treat her facial scars from the car accident.

Meanwhile, after Steve Burton returned to GH after his extended hiatus this June, it was clear that the writers were heading in the direction of a Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and Jason break-up.

Eventually, a few weeks ago, the duo called it quits after Anna (Finola Hughes) tried to kill Britt, and Jason would not help Britt press charges against his friend, who was suffering from delusions after being mentally gaslighted by Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and company.

So, what did you think of the scenes between Jason and Serena on today’s GH? Do you think Kelly and Steve have on-screen chemistry that you would be open to be seeing how it plays out? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Van Hansis Marks Two Years as ‘General Hospital’s’ Dr. Lucas Jones

Published

By

Van Hansis

It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since Van Hansis made his debut as the recast Lucas Jones on General Hospital. It was back on October 4, 2024 that GH fans got their first look at the former As the World Turns (ex-Luke Snyder) favorite in his new soap role.

Hansis became the fifth actor to play the role of the adoptive son of the late Bobbie Spencer and Tony Jones, and the biological son of the late Julian Jerome and Cheryl Stansbury. Prior to Van, C.J. Thomason (2002–2003), Ben Hogestyn (2005–2006) Ryan Carnes (2004–2005, 2014–2020, 2024) and Matt Trudeau (2020–2021) had played the part.

When Van left daytime after As the World Turns sadly went off the air in 2010, it would be 14 years until he stepped back into the updated frenetic pace and grind of acting on a daily soap opera.

LUCAS CAME HOME TO PORT CHARLES

Since Lucas has been back in Port Charles, he fell in love with the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who was murdered, moved into a new apartment with his current roommate (soon to be love interest?) Joe Fitzpatrick as played by Jonathan Bennett, has become best buds with the “Britch” Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), and has found himself involved in multiple other storylines. However, now that Van is firmly implanted on GH, might Lucas get a leading storyline of his own? Stay tuned.

In the meantime, to acknowledge his two-year anniversary at General Hospital, Hansis shared via his Instagram a photo montage and some heartfelt “thank you’s’ and words. “Two years ago yesterday, Lucas Jones came home to Port Charles looking a little different. Looking exactly like me.” began Hansis.

“When I took on the role, I was told it would be a heavy recurring for a few months and then we’d see where it goes – being based in NYC at the time, I thought it would be a fun little gig that would bring me back to my old stomping grounds of daytime for a bit.”

GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS BEEN LIFE-CHANGING FOR VAN HANSIS

Next, the longtime New York-based actor confirmed he has now moved to Los Angeles as this new chapter of his life has unfolded, and how grateful he is that the show’s writers and producers have continually given more for Lucas to do.

Van explained, “But then they kept writing for me more and I fell in love with Lucas, and everyone around him (in front of and behind the camera). I wanted to stay a while and am so grateful I have. Being a part of GH these last two years has been life changing. Literally. My family and I are Angelenos now, I’ve made incredible new friendships and have been able to revisit old ones.”

The five-time Daytime Emmy-nominated actor concluded with, “Thank you Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH), thank you Mark (Teschner, casting director, GH), for inviting me to the party. You throw a great one. ”

So, happy to know Van is sticking around General Hospital for some time to come? What has been your favorite Lucas Jones moment over the first two years of Van’s run? Let us know via the comment section below.
