We were so excited to wake up to the news this morning that General Hospital’s Kirsten Storms (Maxie) and former GH star Brandon Barash (Ex-Johnny) welcomed into the world late last evening the newest addition to their family … a baby girl!

Brandon tweeted the news by stating: “Our passenger has touched down and arrived. Welcome to our world. There has not been a more fulfilling day. @teenystweeting #babygirlbarash

The popular duo revealed they were married last June and Storms was pregnant in an article in PEOPLE this past August.

A flurry of well wishes from Kirsten and Brandon’s GH co-stars came in over the last several hours on Twitter including the series head writer Ron Carlivati who expressed: “@BrandonBarash @teenystweeting Congratulations, Brandon & Kirsten! So happy for you guys! xoxo”

Congratulations to the new Mom and Dad!   Please post your well-wishes for the happy couple in our comment section below!

Such a happy couple..I wish them well as a new family. Hope they both are caught up on their sleep!

Congrats!!

Congratulations to the couple. I hope to see Kristen return ASAP to GH. I miss Brandon as he did an outstanding acting job in the role of Johnny. Does anybody know what he is doing now when he isn’t being a new dad?

GH… by all accounts… should forefront Carly…. but… what to do with her?

cat fight with Ava? it was so embarrassing… to watch, I think, mondays epi… when she had lunch with Michael and Kiki – to this day, duller than ever – as she “shared” she’s seeing Franco

even more so … is how troubling, it is to watch RH, Franco – he’s having visions, and or his own psychotic lapses with Olivia… it’s all the proof we need… that RH’ Franco is just not working

oh he’s nice to look at… and that’s about it

if they need to resuscitate Carly… they need to bring back Jax or Johnny

the only way to give relevance to Carly – otherwise she’s filler…. like Sonny, Michael, and Kiki, ‘Livia

Many congratulations and blessings to both Kirsten and Brandon for the beautiful gift they’ve brought into the world!

Congratulations Brandon and Kristen…Brandon would be the perfect Adam recast on Y&R but would rather see him back on GH in the future!!!

congrats! bet its one beautiful baby, hope they both come back to GH, and baby can come to work with them! just wishful thinking, i know kisten is schedule to come back, hopefully, Brandon will return to GH too.

congratulation to you all on the birth of your baby girl!

How wonderful!!
Congratulations, Brandon & Kirsten!
Baby girl will bring you a lifetime of happiness!!

Congratulations!!!

Congrats to the happy couple! Get lots of sleep! And Kirsten, sleep when your beautiful little girl sleeps!!!

Wow–so excited for them both!! Loved Brandon as Johnny Zacarra and have watched Kirsten develop into a amazing actress since she was Belle on Days. Wishing you both all the joys of new parenthood!

Congrats to a great folks who I dig so much onscreen, and who are real do-gooders off screen. I’s funny but I thought the baby who played Maxie’s daughter looked a lot like Kirsten and I have a feeling Kirsten and Brandon’s little girl is a beauty. Blessed be, all three of you.

Congrads guys!!!!!! so happy for you!!!! Now please please talk Brandon back as Johnny so you can all work close by!!!!! 🙂

Congratulations Kirsten and Brandon!!! I am sure she is adorable!!! Enjoy!!!

Congratulations! Can’t wait to see the pictures!

Congratulations on your baby girl. I love watching you guys on GH. I am behind in two two days on watching GH. I have had too much company. I live in Fl and my friends want to come to the warm weather. He he. I will catch up tonight.
Happy new year to you both and the beautiful baby. Can’t wait to see pics….

Congrats Brandon & Kirsten! Such a beautiful couple-know baby girl is too! This is ur miracle baby..all u really needed Kirsten was to be really happy..u had such a rough yr before! So happy for you both! Can’t wait til your back at work…now if GH would get Brandon back!

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter Kristin and Brandon.

Congrats to the new parents. Take turns getting up with the new bundle of joy. Best to the three of you.

Will Johnny ever come back to GH? And when will Heather die for good? CHEERS!

Would love to see him back as Johnny Z (GH could really use his talent), but as mentioned above my bet is he heads to Y&R as Adam recast since he’s tight with Burton and Jill.

They must be a happy and a cute couple.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Carly and Lulu Make Plans to Rescue Their Children; Anna Looks Determined to Secure Her Freedom

Published

By

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

FINOLA HUGHES RETURNS

The final moments of the teaser promo reveal Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France. We have not seen her for months after Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal fed her hallucinogenics to make her believe her arch nemesis, Cesar Faison was alive!

Now, the doctors walk towards her hospital bed, where we see the super spy calmly knitting. Is Anna back to normal and playing everyone to get out of her predicament, or does she still remain deeply traumatized … or both?

Take a look at the rest of the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, JUNE 22
Willow gets an unwelcome surprise. Trina sticks to her guns. “Nathan” wants reassurance. Ethan advises Ava. Brook Lynn receives an update.

TUESDAY, JUNE 23
Dante cautions Liz. Laura learns a secret. Brook Lynn confides in Michael. Sonny challenges Ava. Chase makes a decision.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24
Anna meets with her doctor. Carly makes a stunning confession. Britt extracts a promise. Cullum pulls a fast one. Gio and Emma hit the pool.

THURSDAY, JUNE 25
Josslyn clashes with Cassius. Lulu and Dante make a discovery. Chase receives a warning. Jordan seeks help. Alexis is summoned to the PCPD.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26
Anna takes a huge risk. Britt is in grave danger. Willow is in disbelief. Danny must act fast. Curtis jumps to the wrong conclusion.

Check out the latest General Hospital promo entitled, “Rescue Mission” below.

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

By

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
