General Hospital
General Hospital's Frank Valentini & Ron Carlivati Promise Huge Surprise on Today's Episode!
General Hospital’s executive producer, Frank Valentini and head writer, Ron Carlivati took to Twitter early this morning alerting fans of the ABC soap for a big surprise that was kept under wraps that will unfold on today’s episode!
Valentini tweeted, “Good morning fellow Port Charles residents. This one was hard to keep secret for so long but we did it…GIANT surprise today! Total #GH gift! Any guesses?”
Carlivati tweeted, “You don’t miss @GeneralHospital today. Trust me. #GH #MindBlowingMoment #IfYouKnowPleaseDontTell“
So now we pose the question to you, what do you think is the mind blowing moment and big surprise on today’s episode that the powers-that-be in Port Charles are alerting us too? Are you excited to see what happens and will you be tuning-in? Comment below!
No surprise that Kiki is Silas’s. Well that’s my guess anyway.
Robin Mattson????
Whatever it is, it scares the bejeezus out of Heather Webber so it’s gotta be good!
Kiki (lauren) is silas and ava’s kid.
I don’t think that will be revealed for a little while
My guess is that Silas will be revealed to be Kiki’s real father, and that Franco is not her real father, therefore, Michael and Kiki aren’t having an incestuous relationship. Also, kind of bothered by the way that that lab techie (can’t recall his name) was blackmailing Michael into sleeping with him to protect his secret that he was kissing Kiki. I of course woiud love if Michael swung both ways, which he obviously doesn’t, but kind of creepy of that techie to blackmail him or anyone for that matter with sex, orientation aside, especially given that Michael was violated in prison. Why traumatize poor Michael any further. But not too surprising, given that Carlivati wrote the Todd (well, we didn’t know he was Victor at the time) storyline, where he was falling in love with Marty, a woman whom Todd had raped.
The lab tech is Brad- and I agree– on Days when someone is blackmailed into sex it is called rape– so this would be no different. However I don’t think they will make Michael go through it again– and why they are even doing this side line story is beyond me–
Someone told me that a former actress whose character is dead recently taped a couple of scenes so I’m guessing a ghost is paying someone a visit. But if not that, I don’t know.
thats why kiki has dark hair
The reveal of Sam’s dad is supposed to be on Monday so that’s out….maybe that Silas is Kiki’s father or that Britt is carrying Lulu & Dante’s baby? Those are my best guesses right now……will probably be something totally different!
Whatever scares Heather??The lady is certifiable so it could be anything, maybe its Ron on screen. That would scare me. If its not Roberts return. I don’t care. Don’t get me wrong. I do not like RH no matter who he is playing but his bloody face and the scumbag Brad ,just made me not care.
heather webber no big surprise, unless its robin or robert then I would be surprised
Heather is a match for Danny and really Franco’s mother maybe? Hoping if true, and Heather donates, she gets reduced time and can heal. So many of us want Robin Mattson back full time.
That is the best guess I’ve heard! I like it.
ditto…
just having Heather out and about… in the mix….
would help immensely… till the stories get turned around for the better.
LOVE, Robin Mattson.
More relish????
LOL.
relish.
burned dolls.
incest.
syrupy Sabrina.
the 3 amigos.
don’t know if after all that i’d buy Olivia w/Sonny.
Michael being framed to ??? woah…
you know, even my adorable Molly… having to deal with TJ sleeping w/Felix sister.
Luke is on vacation.
frumpy Laura… is the same old person… she needs a revamp.
you know… I hope they do spring heather out… and I just wish TPTB would bring back Joe Scully, JR… to see Tracy in the mood….
I think we need to see nuLulu and Dante – fight. they’re too happy… you have amnesia… to over the top happy… and we’d see some real relationship. I actually liked her with Mylo… dang! dag! flip my lid.. he is hot.
and… it’s a treat to see Anna and Duke… and Mac and Felicia. that’s it.
Just remembered Heather was in the previews so most likely it’s something to do with her, she looked shocked by whoever was with her.
I don’t know! But I am behind in watching, I usually do a marathon on the weekend. I just may have to watch out of sequence or break down and watch a bunch tonight…..
Nobody cares. The show is horrible. I was so encouraged for a few months, but it’s terrible.
Exactly they are last in ratings and they tweeted because they need a boost
There are only four soaps so between Days and GH they will flip flop for years on end. However, the ratings are up for all soaps so it really doesn’t matter who is last, all shows are winning!
It will MATTER to ABC!!
My first thought was right in line with Jane’s comment. I was thinking maybe Georgie is going to appear to Maxie.
OMG sentence
I’m really excited to see what this surprise may be! I don’t think it’ll be anything that anyone is expecting, especially because of Frank’s excitement. I saw where perhaps it is why Heather is so scared in the preview for todays episode and if that is the case- I’m terrified! If something scares batshit crazy Heather Webber- you KNOW it is going to be bad. But bad, in that sense, translates into oh, so good drama so I cannot wait!
If it’s not Robin Drake coming back, I am really not interested. I’m a little tired of the bait and switch approach of soaps.
ITA Sharon!
Gee, could the surprise be that Rerun Ron and Frank actually have a fresh idea and not something that’s been recycled 1000 times on the show or from their old show? That would be pretty rare. These guys are such hacks, and they are in the midst of destroying this iconic show. Plus, they cannot take any criticism. Their egos are out of control. You can only send them gushing compliments on Twitter or they won’t give you the time of day. What a joke.
Totally agree. These guys don’t give a damn about GH history/veterans, only using the show to pimp their own arrogance and massive egos. The show is in the toilet and isn’t even getting a 2.0 on any day now. Way to go, fellas.
Cartini is so desperate for a ratings boost. They tweet watch the mess we are showing now but we have a suprise at the end because we need ratings. Then we will not show that character for 6 months because we got that boost.
As much as I loathe JFP you tell me why they brought these two guys in from a soap OLTL that got cancelled? And you bring your 3 pets in from OLTL with you. So tell me once again that ABC does not have every intention of throwing GH overboard. Watching RH is like watching a bad comedy show he plays RH on every soap he is on.
I am a huge Frank/Ron team fan, the way they transform OLTL to great story telling right up to the cancellation and the way they brought GH back with new life, with the veterans and new characters and exciting stories..But I have to agree with Pat: The more I watch GH, the more some of the stories are some what similar to the ones over at Frank/Rob tenure over at OLTL..BTW, Heather is scared of Silas because she thinks he is Caleb, who tried to kill her..And I am sure that Georgie is the big surprise or hoping is Luke (if he is not in vacation mode) runs into a much alive Robin while searching for Jerry.
According to Soap Opera Digest the Big Surprise it that Franco is not Franco but JASON himself! And that Silas is Kiki’s Dad!
fire frank valentini. he is useless. the ratings have really gone down. hire someone who has fresh stories to tell. i hate silas ava and franco. fire all of them.
I agree. FrankenRon don’t have a fresh idea between them.All the things that brought the fans back was the done before with the old actors.I loved it, but I do not appreciate the new GH old OL.. Anna is now the head of the stupid PC police. Sonny is back smarter than everyone else. His having FrancoTodd beaten up by his goon because he can’t get his hands dirty. I didn’t lay a hand on my sons girlfriend? Only the stupid PC police believe he didn’t do it. Olivia really made me shake my head in disbelief I don’t blame you sonny if someone went after my son and hurt him I would have gone to court and said my son shot himself. ?? How do the actors even say these lines? Alexis says she is an officer of the court ,I no saw nothing. I just found him on the floor. I hope they ruptured his kidneys and he can’t be a donor. Dumb Morgan even knew Sonny did it.
Sonny can see where he kept Danny, Jason’s son from getting the bone marrow. Oh well I remember when he kept Kristina from getting help for her leukemia. Sonny ruins everything
Greg, I totally agree!! Us OLTL fans always said that they were sent to OLTL to completely destroy it and THEY DID! I don’t care about OH how good the Story lines were at the end, YEA THE VERY END LIKE THE LAST DAY OF THE SHOW LOL…..Ron is a HACK Frank is yet another talentless hack on ABC’s Payroll. I have always thought and said that they sent RC and FV to GH to Ruin it just like they did to OLTL! I mean come on now it took him over 1 year to let us that YUCKY Saybrooke changed Natalie’s Paternity results to show that Brody was Liam’s father ALL tho we ALL knew John is!
Ron and Frank ARE bringing back the Mob to GH and PC!! They are completely useless~!
I like what Frank & Ron have done with GH. They kept it going! I have no complaints about Gh! I enjoyed seeing Georgie today and I think Maxie is going to tell LuLu and Dante the truth about the baby…I am liking Silas now! And maybe Sam & Silas will get together..
it must be bad it scares the hell out of Heather Weber … and thats one women that don’t scare easy 🙂
We see that Jerry is alive.
We already know Jerry is alive. Dr Obrecht took robin to him
Heather is Franco’s mother and Georgie comes back in Maxie’s dream.
I think Georgie is back..and i hope for more then one or two appearances!!
Just in spirit of course!
GH has recast Jason and he back in Port Charles today would be my crazy guess.
it is Georgie!!
Olivia Jerome will visit her (relative) Ava
It’s Georgie. Just saw her
Sick of their pets and bait and switch. Let me know when ROBIN returns. Robin a GH VET.
What do you not get that Kimberly McCullough who portrays Robin is working on other projects and cannot commit to returning long term. All she could do is short term and by short term that means a day or two. No sense in having her return for 2 days to do the same they have been doing. This is through no control of the producers, writers or even ABC. She chose to leave before these new regime returned. She has made appearances with them since. But it’s not their fault she is not available for the long term right now. I saw someone suggest on another site that they recast her. Can you imagine the complaints then. But Cathy if you can get the actresses who plays Robin to return for a long term story please let us know I am sure the wrtiers and producers would like to know it is possible as well.
Thank you David! Maybe that will stop some of the haters who don’t seem to get that Kimberly is pursuing a career a director and as of right now, not interested in a long-term stink on “GH.”
Well they say it hasn’t been spoiled sooooo. Jake comes back is my #1 all time return.
WOW, some fickle fans here. Cartini rescued this soap from cancellation!! The reason the ratings are down is because all the 50th anniversary stunts have past and yet people expect all the oldtimers to stay permanently. I don’t want a soap that’s like an old-folks home. It has to have young blood and new storylines. I don’t want to watch a soap that’s stuck in the 70’s or 80’s for God’s sake. Come on people how about some loyalty! The show still has the best acting in the biz IMO
No you are so wrong. The ratings are down because this show has been boring and sucked 2 months in a row.
Agreed Jeff. The old timers and vets some stayed some didn’t You see some on only a few episodes at a time because that is the way keeping budget. Some like Finola Hughes are working on other projects and only agreed to return to GH if they were able to do other projects.
Ive come to realize that people will never be happy no matter what a show does. If the show concentrated on the vets or characters from the 70s and 80s you would lose your younger demo audience which is where GH is still performing very well especially in the 18-34. You would also see those ratings drop eventually. And if the show is staying around for many years to come you need new characters, etc.
But it is pointless to even state anything positive to people because they immediately cut you down and turn it into a negative. I honestly think some people still watch GH just so they can come online and complain about it. I’d love for these people to be put in charge of the show, dealing with budgets, contracts, network executives, making all of the audience happy.
But it is what it is. If GH does get cancelled the people complaining better not be crying about it being cancelled. Because it is you people who caused the cancellation.
Um Y&R is a vet oriented show and they have maintained a younger audience and has been #1 for 25 years. Damn you are so wrong. No I will not cry when GH gets cancelled because Frank and Ron know better than to produce the same shit that got oltl cancelled.
As to the younger fans, I would love to know how many of them got hooked on soaps because of stroylines with their own age groups? My teens NEVER watch network TV. If they do it is because something is on that an adult wanted to watch so they happened to stay in the room. If adults aren’t watching because of the poor writing there is no way in hell that any kids in the household will be tuning in.
I AGREE!!!!
RC did not save shit! All he did was throw around some of the Vets and bring back a whole bunch of ppl that he KNEW were not going to stay! Recycled OLTL Story lines and GH fans made him out to be some Soap Savior! Now A LOT of them are seeing him for the HACK he really is!!! He can not come up with an original idea to save his life! The Story lines at the end that he was “coming up with” were recycled stories from GL and ATWT!
Exactly JolieFan
Cartini rescued the show from cancellation? Then why do the ratings show week after week about a million less viewers when he took over????? All the boards have endless threads with fans SCREAMING to get rid of Franco and Kiki. I can only think that FV and RC were hired to drive GH so far into the ground that no one would complain when ABC cancels it. Certainly seems like what they’re trying to do to me.
is it Robin Scorpio Drake?
This is a clear sign that the show is in a state of flux. I am disappointed in the whole Todd,John, Starr.debacle.Each time I look at the show and try to imagine them as new roles,I.e. Whatever…i haven’t when bothered to learn their new characters new names…Heather….has been taken through the ropes…over and over…shows they can’t make up their minds with writing story…its old….now bringing Ava…..former star from As World Turns…..and now add to the mix Michelle from YR……this show doesn’t know what direction they are taking…..the writing story boards should be a year out,but this is a complete mess on paper………and you can put the blame on the two whom steer this production now………i have stopped watching
Charles has that been confirmed about Michelle Stafford?
Who’s Georgie and how does she fit in? New viewer here.
Georgie is Maxie’s deceased sister.
Maxies sister frisco and felicia second daughter… she was murdered by diego alcazar, He was the Text Message Killer about 5 years ago
Georgie is Maxies sister that was murdered, the last writers killed her off (DUMB DECISION) Had to make more room for the GANGSTER’S so they killed all the Good people of Port Charles off. Alan, Emily, Georgie, THE FANS.
Best reply of the day! Lol!
Georgie is Maxie’s younger sister. She was murdered by accident when a mobster’s son was trying to kill Maxie.
The mobster’s son was then “murdered” – so we think. Therefore, Georgie was also “murdered” – so we think.
He shouldn’t have missed when he went for Maxie.
He wasn‘t going for Maxie. He looked Georgie right in the eyes before he killed her. He clearly knew it was Georgie. The mistaken identity was when he killed Letitia when he was aiming for Carly. He was not a very bright serial killer.
She is Frisco and Felicia’s youngest daughter. She also had an affair with Sonny.
georgie never had an affair with sonny, what the heck are u smoking?
I don’t remember Georgie EVER having an affair with sonny, she was just a kid and not Sonny’s type, I have watch GH for 50 years and that story I do not know of. When did this happen???
she never had an affair with Sonny ewww!
You must be thinking about Emily who had the affair with Sonny. That freaked everyone out!
If the soaps can alter the history of the soap, why cant a fan do the same. And if you think about it, in real life, Emily and Georgie are close to the same age. But SOARS has screwed that up the ages of the children. Michael, Morgan, Kristina, Molly and LuLu have all suffered from SOARS.
Sonny is a disgusting violent thug. Did anyone notice the casual glee he exhibited while Sean beat up Franco? He walked into his son‘s home, and proceeded to sit by and watch a man be beaten to a bloody pulp. Then he went home, started to make love to a woman who is the cousin to the woman he was supposedly passionately in love with last week. Sonny has been on this show for 20 years. He has “loved“ Karen, Brenda, Lily, Carly, Alexis, Angel, Reese, Emily, Kate, Connie, Olivia, I must be forgetting some moll. He made Karen a stripper, violently abused Brenda, threatened to murder Carly…yeah…what a leading man!
Georgie is Maxie’s sister. She is Felicia and Frisco’s other daughter. She was killed a few years ago when the hacks that where charge at the time did a serial killer on the lose story. The actress was let go due to story reasons. This was at a time that the hacks in charge where killing off so many characters.
I hope they are finding a way to bring her back for more long tern, sadly I get the feeling she will only be on for a couple days as a ghost. Still good to see her though.
Mark she was Maxie’s little sister JFP killed her off when she was EP along with tons of others.
Also the killer is now a cop and living in Genoa City over at Y&R also the hitman Jason is living there also the Irish girl that who was married to Lucky is living there. All undercover of course! But don’t worry GH /Port Charles has Abby Newman disguised as Lulu over there and maybe soon Phyllis the wack job will be coming to Port Charles. And we call this entertainment and told daily that soaps are coming back.
KAY, Its soaps. Its fiction. Its not real? There is a world out side of your couch and bon bons.
Terry what is that all about? Just giving them fits about the GH&Y&R swaps and I like my bon bons obviously you do to!
How abt if the surprise was that they cast Asian american actors as part of the gh cast and not as recurring chars? Stupid storylines abt “the relish” are on gh. Yet there are still no Asian american chars w/ romantic and frontburner storylines portrayed by Asian american actors who are not recurring but are cast members.
Well, there is that pathetic Brad.
‘desperately seeking sex’ Brad? te he he
also known as ‘people won’t sleep with me unless I blackmail them’ Brad
general hospital will be cancelled early next year. the ratings are down again. its in last place now. days of our lives is on fire right now. days has good storylines and good acting. general hospital will be replaced with a new game show. i stopped watching general hospital last week. its the franco show. i hate roger howarth. he needs to go away. never did like him. days of our lives and bold and the beautiful are terrific soaps. frank valentini is driving general hospital towards cancellation. when frank first came on gh. he saved the show from cancellation. i will admit. i was very impressed. the ratings were way up. but now, im bored with the storylines. im sick of franco franco enough already. viewers are getting turned off. thats why the ratings are falling and falling each week. maura west was terrific as carly tenney. on as the world turns. ava jerome is all right. but the way, she moves her lips. is really annoying. who the hell does she think she is . marilyn monroe. lol. her facial expressions damn annoying. lmao.
I don’t think GH will be cancelled! Ratings go up and they go down.. We have positive thoughts not negative ones. I have no complaints about GH. I enjoy watching it each day. Yes we should have positive thoughts & not negative thoughts! Things alway’s come around full circle for the good. It can’t be easy to come up with new storylines constantly! We shouldn’t alway’s think doom and gloom! POSTIVE THOUGHTS!
I have to say, I still enjoy GH but I do find in meh, lately! It is missing that something it had when I first started watching a little over a year ago. On the otherhand Days is top notch right now!
Well it is summertime and all soaps story lines tend to get a bit dull since tptb know a lot of folks are on vacation and not watching– summers tend to have a lot of teen stories because they think students are home watching soaps in the summer, which in today’s world is a bit of a laugh. As for Days, if I don’t fall asleep during it I know it is good and for weeks I didn’t doze off- but this week I have been napping after the first 15 minutes and wake up for the last 5, so all shows have their ups and downs.
So what was all the hub-bub about? Is Georgie really alive? It’s hard to tell if Maxie was just hallucinating Georgie or if she was really there. I would be all for having Georgie return. I never understood the purpose in killing her off in the first place. Damn JFP!
How bout RC and FV updating us on Robert Scorpio and why the f*ck is he recuperating in Switzerland instead of GH to his closes relative? Mac is about to get remarried and apparently could care less about his brother.
REALLY! What the hell has happened to poor Robert! This is ridiculous that they just dropped that. Anna & Mac need to get over there & bring him home.
Georgie!!
Totally agree about Ava…cannot stand the woman and her over-the-top “Marilyn” voice and mannerisms. Hope they see her off soon. Also not thrilled with the return of “Georgie”….always found her to be really boring and annoying with her “holier-than-thou” attitude. The only Jones we need back is Frisco!!! Jack Wagner got a truly raw deal with his last storyline/abbreviated appearance and it should be remedied ASAP. And while the writers are at it, how about some more Noah, Robert, Jerry, etc…..there are so many great possibilities that these veterans can bring to GH, in addition to the fab work of RoHo, Kelly Monaco and Michael Easton. Not hating on the whole show as it now is, just think that there are too many excess characters that bring nothing to the game (Especially Sabrina, Taylor, TJ, Shawn, etc…) Oh, and please no Michelle Stafford….or Peter Reckell. They weren’t all that on their former shows…GH doesn’t require their services!!!!!
kiki is silas kid and going toing to keep gh on abc i wish
Georgy? Seriously, these “surprises” mean nothing to those of us who came over from OLTL and are unfamiliar with these former characters. In fact, its confusing.
They mean something to long term GH fans who sat through 11 years of Phelps and Guza butchering and decimating the show with non-stop violence and death.
With you being a long-time viewer let me ask: are you satisfied with the way the “vets” are brought on but not integrated into the so-called storylines? It seems they are brought on just as once-a-week window dressing. Personally I’d rather see them in heavy story than the dopes currently front and center.
I wish that Ron would stop shoving Kristen Alderson down our throats. She is in almost every episode. Please send her back to Llanview. The storyline clearly is not working, the kissing cousins, her being a Jerome, a Frank, a Clay, whatever.
To me, the most mind blowing thing was not the appearance of Heather, or Georgie, but that this show is telling a true and accurate description of gay characters through the character of Brad! It‘s about time!
Did you mean that as a compliment or an insult about the character of Brad? I hope he is not an accurate description of anyone. He is awful.
I meant to say is it mind blowing because they are showing Brad to be such a jerk or do you like Brad?
Of course I don‘t like Brad. He is a disgusting sleazy pig who tried to blackmail rape victim Michael into further non-consensual gay sex.
That’s not true at all.
even I, as a gay man… am, put off by Brad’s character. He’s a sleaze bag… now that I understand.
what I found even more offensive… is the GH WRITERS – writing… that these actors deliver.
geez! the word predator has been bandied about as of late….. Kiki… yelling, hollering, screeching… dull….. to Brad… ie: in defense of Michael… who can be dimwitted.
and there was another.. it may have been Sonny – ie: saying the same thing.. in defense of Michael about Franco….
and the one that I found dumbing down…. was Heathers’ line to Sam… with Silas at the mental institution… and/or prison…
“my son is a doctor and a murderer….” yikes…. Heather’s writing and dialogue was always stimulating… and funny- dripping with inferences.
what is going on with the WRITING ON GH?
please do not take it upon yourself- and place blame and or label gay people in a bad light….
read the statistics… it’s heterosexual men who’re the predators.
now.. I did find funny…. Brad to Michael…
“Oh don’t worry… IT will work.” LOL… now that was a treat.
I do question Brad’s taste…. I LOVE JAX – Johnny – and Dante.
all this build up of morphing and redeeming FRANCO… is too much… and so obvious…. all at the expense of Daniel Edward, and Sam… and alas.. I just loved Silas scenes with Sam… when he assertively and masculined himself… “Heather will give a dna sample”. he reassured her and they are starting to laugh and enjoy each others company… so that’s a nice slow build.
as for seeing “ghost” Georgia… well… that’s really only spent on Maxie… and may not be anything revelatory for turning GH around.
ouch… the writing again…. Maxie wanting to name “her” baby georgia.. but aching thru the scenes that lulu tells her to wait and name her own daughter such.
and sadly… watching Connie… all gussied up and showing up at Sonny’s door… “wanting him back”… as he was about to make love/have sex with Olivia… I’m not getting this at all… what a shame and waste of the lovely Kelly Sullivan.
RC needs to be smacked or is he trying to make people mad first I was offended about Britt even talking about an abortion when she is sticking out a mile and that is no matter what side of the aisle of that issue you are on. Then his making a cartoon Franco now Brad threatening a young man with sex. This is just me reading the episodes not watching it because it is too distasteful to watch. The writers of todays soaps are not fit to even be in the same room as the Douglas Marlands of the past. In the words of Victor Newman You Got That!
That is exactly what he is trying to do! He did the same thing on OLTL and We OLTL fans tried to tell you~! His writing is Atrocious but Frank will BACK him up. Do not think for one minute that Kiki Silas or Franco will be put on the Back burner so others can have some spot light too, no matter what the Story line is about you can BET that RC will make sure Them three are in them in some form!
i agree with your comment patrick. im a gay man 23 years old. brad is a sleaze bag and a loser. im gay very good looking italian man. im offended by the brad character. frank valentini should be ashamed of himself and ron carvilati for making the brad character such a jerk and a sleaze bag. frank valentini is gay. you think he would know better about gay people like us. frank valentini i have lost respect for you and ron.
How very true! Frank and Ron are gay. With the characters of Felix and Brad, they are showing truthfully what gay is. Felix is effiminate, narcissistic, self-centered, childish, bitchy, and gross for hitting on patients. Brad is greasy, sleazy, prone to blackmail for rape, and abuses his position in a health care facility. If straight men were writing this, people would be rallying and protesting that it was hate speech. But because two gay men are putting it on the air, there has been very little commentary. There‘s an old saying…“Write what you know.“ That‘s what they‘re doing. I commend them for their truth. I thank Ron and Frank for not taking the Will and Sonny route.
I started watching GH when the OLTL characters moved to the show. I Love it and I am enjoying GH. I think the show is great!
Here I was waiting to watch yesterdays GH and Georgie is back! That’s it? Here I was thinking it would be huge and wasn’t! Love GH, I hope that Michael and KIKI are not cousins because that’s totally gross and who would even think to write a story line like that? I love Olivia and Sonny together, hope one day Jason comes back and dumps Young and the restless!
Cheers! from the Canadian side
the big rumour is emily quartermaine is alive. she is locked in the basement. faison kidnapped emily. i heard that emily will be back to gh sometime in the fall or winter. maybe georgie felicias daughter is alive too. faison wants revenge on everyone.
Im amazed at a lot of the comments here! We all should be grateful GH has survived this past year. The show continues to thrive! I for one am loving Genie Francis back. I watched this show for many characters, and to see Laura suffer for many years and finally be back in a different way is refreshing, I know some think her return has not lived up to what we would expect, however, I think there is more in store for Laura. Getting Maura West, Robin Mattson also makes it interesting, Jane Elliott gave the performance of her life this year in scenes with Tony Geary. I think its getting interesting w/ the Jerome family looming in. Lets try to celebrate the 50th still! We are lucky to watch GH everyday!!
Agree!!!

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