Alright, here we go! Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) son, Danny has leukemia and is need of a bone marrow transplant, and from this week’s ABC promo for General Hospital, the search is on for a match and Alexis says “We’ve tested every family member.” However, Sam asks Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), who is her father?
For years on GH, we have never found out who the bio-dad of Samantha McCall really is! And today, Nancy Lee Grahn took to her Twitter account for a series of humorous tweets to engage her followers and fans of GH to try to guess who the man in question could be!
Nancy tweeted: “Let’s play ‘Who is Sam’s Daddy?’ If u win, u get to make out with anyone on GH. If you lose, I get to make out with Colin Firth..or Bill Clinton..but only if Hillary says it’s ok. U have 6 days to guess who Sam’s father is or I get to lip smack @ColbertReport. There are 1000’s here and 40,000 on facebook that wanna play. Use hashtag #Samsdaddy. NO Clues. This is serious soap shit #Samsdaddy. I will not deny that Richard Simmons is in the running #samsdaddy. Hint: Flavor flav is not in the running.”
So now we turn the question over to you, who do you think will turn out to be Sam’s father, who could save the day for Danny? Watch this week’s promo for General Hospital after the jump and a preview for Wednesday’s episode and then share your thoughts!

The fact that she is letting us guess would seem to indicate its someone we would know, right? I mean it wouldn’t be Mark Johnson from the nearby boys school would it,, because we don’t know Mark Johnson so we wouldn’t be guessing that really.
Personally I’m guessing Evan Jerome, but that’s just my guess. I don’t know
I first thought perhaps Julian Jerome (how many times have people died and come back on this show?) But now I’m thinking maybe Sean Donely? A lot of chatter about him lately…
PS…I just read that Peter Reckell says he will NOT be going to GH.
I like him very much
its peter reckell, as evan jerome!
I don’t know him
Is it Silas?
Go away hater
Kelly Monaco cant get a storyline?
Franco is top candidate for DNA to save Danny (Being of Jason’s bloodline )..
but not Sams daddy..
RC surly make ”who” someone unsuspected and a surprise shocker!!
Franco!!!
It has to be Franco now that Silas is Kikis bio daddy!
im joking…or am i?
I win! Now me and Alice get to make out…POOR ALICE!!!
your right
yes that is right
My gut tells me Sam is the result of some sort of incest (sorry if that grosses anybody out, just being honest) but more importantly, that Silas is Kiki/Lauren’s father & therefore Micheal & Kiki aren’t doing anything wrong. Just my gut.
michael and kiki are so cute together
I always wanted Robert.
me too
I think it could be Ned.
That would be so cool. I always loved Ned and Alexis together. But I don’t think so, they were together too long on the show, with no mention of any history.
there have history
maybe
Sam is Mac’s Daughter on the other hand could this be another reason why Derek Wells is being added
hello that is sam’a father
I’m thinking it’s William Devry’s character,even though he’s only 7 years older than KM.The only way it could be Franco is if he and Jason aren’t brothers.
He’s Sam’s age
I wanted Sam father to be the guy who plays on AMC, since they couldn’t get him to play
The couldn’t get him, I’m leaning towards PETER RECKELL who plays on DOOL! I am
Glad that RC is doing for Kelly Monaco
It will be fun to see!
I think its Stefan..Those Cassadine”s are twisted!!!! and I think maybe he molested Alexis when they were young,and thats why she Hates them especially Helena because she knew about it!!!!
hmm being it is a and they are all about drama;
It will be some that Sam hates!!
Jason’s enemy, Jerry Jacks ..
lol sorry, i used voice type ..
It will be someone Sam hates!!
Jason’s hated enemy… Jerry Jacks
(typing works better lol..
Im looking forward to this story,, I wanted SAMFATHER TO BE THE GUY ON AMC
BUT I TAKE PETER RECKELL (BO ON DOOL)
This is going be good!
I love Sam!
Peter Reckell does not come into the equasion anywhere. You are thinking of Robert Kelker Kelly , who also played Bo on DOOL’s for a while. RKK , played Stavros in the recent s/l with Stavros. It could be that he is Sam’s father even though he and Alexis are siblings.He could have assaulted her.I doubt that TPTB will go there given the response to Michael and Kiki , even though their “fathers” are only half siblings and New York is one of 21 states in which first cousins can legally marry.
ooops “equation”.
they said on ghsoap board he tested for the part…… Thats why I said that!!!
SOME OF YALL POSTERS ARE SAYING OUTRAGEOUS THINGS!!
ALAN! PLEASE, WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM???
I LOOKING FORWARD TO HER STORY
No, the websites were all rumoring that Peter Reckell would join GH. It was serious enough that he issued an announcement that he was not. I loved him as Cliff on AMC.
Sam’s daddy is Stavros Cassadine! Yes incest!
This is th only one I agree with. How old will you say is Sam?
I would say Sam is about 30ish, but ya know age don’t matter on soaps lol
Sean?? Not Shawn but Sean!???
Sam’s daddy is;
Jerry Jacks
ALAN QUARTERMAIN! Wouldn’t help Danny now, but it would have made Jason and Sam related! Ewwwww! 1/2 sister/brother….
ALAN QUATERMINE??????
WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM???????
SOUND LIKE SAM HATER
AM I WRONG?
Faison!
It better be Peter Reckell!
I want to think about this somemore… but could it be Faison? Would love o have him back!!! Brit could be tested.
I still think it would be fun to have Sam’s father be Faison… however it could be one of these other characters… Mikos Cassadine, Victor Jerome, Dimitri Cassadine or Evan Jerome Sr. Dimitri might also be fun to explore… lots of potential there. Of course with more Jerome’s coming to town… it’s terribly likely they will make him be a Jerome. Faison is still my favorite choice!!! Would love Anders back on our screens!!!
So many of these other guesses are too young!
If Faison was the daddy that would mean poor Britt could have some relatives that were not criminally insane, which would good be for her — having Sam as a half sister could help her be more humane. I haven’t watch long enough to make a guess, but for Britt’s sake I hope it is Faison.
I can see Faison being Sams father. There will be something wrong with Britts baby, and since they are related, he or she will be a bone marrow match to save Danny.
It has to be Faison, because a drunk 16 year old is the only one who would sleep with his creepy ass!
Pretty sure Britt’s baby is going to turn out to be Lulu and Dante’s baby. Much better to make a baby with someone else’s embryo than fake a pregnancy to trap a man, especially if you’re an obgyn, and progeny of the insane Faison and Dr. Orbrecht. They’ll wind up getting the baby, which will make up for losing Maxie’s baby. (Although I did read some rumours that it could be Lulu’s and Stavros’.
Possibly Ric Lansing, I know he`s Molly`s dad.
Alexis did not know Ric back then & plus Ric & Sam slept together that one time, remember?
YALL TRYING TO BE FUNNY
A LIZZIE FAN MAYBE!!!
I LOVE SAM
Sean Donelly
That would be good.
That could be where Sam gets her adventurous fearless behavior from.
he just might be? THAT WILL BE INTRESTING!!!
Shawn Donnelly has been long gone !
And his name doesn’t start, or end with a “J”
I like the idea of one of the Jeromes (whether that be Edge, Julian, or Victor), that would tie Sam to Ava and Kiki, who are still somewhat isolated, and reinforce another connection to Silas, as he has a past with Ava. Also would make Sam a blood relative of Lucas Jones, which could necessitate his and/or Bobbie’s return as another possible donor for baby Danny, and opens Lucas up to possible romance with Felix and/or sleazy Brad.
But, there was that blurb I read recently that Sean Donely was returning for a storyline arc soon. So it could be him. Anything that could bring Sean and/or Tiffany back to the canvas! And Tiffany was biologically related to Lucas too, though it’s a stretch to try to use Sean/Tiffany to get Lucas back on the canvas.
Other option, age-wise, on the canvas, could be Duke Lavery, as I’m not sure Alexis/Duke have crossed paths yet (not as I recall) and it would complicate things for Duke (which is needed) and Anna (also desperately needed). Also adds weight to the fact that Anna was the one who first posed the question of who Sam’s father was, months back, when Sam was missing due to Stephen Clay.
So I’d be content with any: Sean Donely, Duke Lavery, or any deceased Jerome.
I read that Lucas WAS returning, because Bobbi will be back in town for a while. She did adopt him, you know. I love Sean Donely, but love the idea of the Julian Jerome connection. That might just get rid of Duke, I’ve always hated him!!
I hope it is William deVry who is going to play Derek Wells and the two of you fall madly, deeply in “Happily ever after love” Alexis needs that Finally after all the BAD boys she has been with and then letting Mac slip through her fingers ! He also looks about the right age and Sam has similar features !
I figure it’s the new guy they’re adding, but I don’t know what character name he has… I figure Silas is KiKi’s dad, which would solve the Michael/Kiki pairing.
speaking of which – why didn’t Michael throw in the My grandma is Chief of Staff in the freak doctor’s face when he rudely propositioned Michael?
Not only that Christy, didn’t he know who Micheal’s father is. That was crazy.
Brad is short on IQ… he knows who the quartermaines are but “forgot” who Monica is related to… and has to know who Corinthos refers to… yes, Brad is a few apples short of an orchard if you know what I mean! 😀
but like I said, why didn’t Michael point out who his important family members are is beyond me.
Michael did mention his grandmother, the “chief of staff”. I think it was AFTER he told Brad to shove it because he heard him talking to Britt. But, yeah, I don’t get why he didn’t use the “my father could kill you and not even blink an eye” defense. Maxie did it with Britt lol.
Don’t remember his real name, but it might be the guy that played Michael Cambias on AMC. Heard he’s coming to town.
Alexis is transgendered and she is his father. Just like with Cartman on South Park!
Luke Spencer!
Nah, they’ve spent too much time being pals. It would have been cool though. Except, oh yeah, she’s slept with Lucky 🙂 But then again, I’ve always wondered if Nicholas could be Luke’s son and Lucky could turn out to be Stavros” lol. That whole timeline is mysterious.
Evan jerome
Why do people keep guessing the names of characters that, if they were in fact Sam’s father, would have at some point mentioned to Alexis sometime in her last 17 years on the show “Gee, didn’t I sleep with you when you were a teenager/in your early twenties?” This list would include but is not limited to: Sean Donnelly, Cesar Faison, Alan Quartermaine, etc.”
NOT that “GH” writers are known to stick to a show’s history (originally Stavros Casssadine was Mikko’s vengeful COUSIN, NOT son), but when Alexis was telling someone (I forget who) about getting pregnant with Sam in school, she said he was a MUCH older man and that her father (Mikkos) forced her to give the baby up for adoption. I get the impression whomever RC and FV decide is Sam’s father (it will definitely NOT be someone we have ever seen before), he will probably be closer in age to Alexis/Nancy Lee Grahn.
I would agree, except (1) a 40 year old man is much likely to look different from a 20 year old boy, and (2) she’s forgotten his name or what he looked like. So, she could have met someone 20 or 30 years later and not know it’s the same person. But not someone she spent a LOT of time with, like Ned.
I dunno; I think the first time you have sex ever, you always remember the person, and I see people at HS reunions and such (I graduated nearly 25 years ago) and the faces are still the same, just older, hairier, fatter, etc.
The way Alexis told the story now, she was 16 (that part hasn’t changed) but it sounds like this guy was a college frat-type or townie, so he was probably 22 at most? So that’s not as much older as the writers all those years ago lead us to believe.
Can think of a few scintillating possibilities if Sam’s father is a past GH character with whom we are already familiar. However, IF said “Daddy” is intended to be a new character/actor, how about one played by Ronn Moss? He would be very credible, physically speaking, and would add a most handsome presence to the show. Would also be interesting to see him as someone other than “Ridge,” particularly if he is to possess a really dark persona….have seen rumors that Peter Reckell is supposed to be the one to fill such a scenario, but not at all excited by that possibility, as his “Bo Brady” never appealed to me…..
mmm John Stamos wanted a better role to come back to if he returned to GH… why not make Blackie Sam’s dad! 😀
Could go for that……really would love to see “Blackie” back on GH! Stamos is still such a cutie, and was quite a sport to have even considered doing an appearance on the show during the 50th anniversary. Never understood why a suitable spot was not produced for him….this would be an excellent reason why!!!!
nope, sorry…Blackie was in prison when Alexis got pregnant.
Was he??? Since Stamos left GH (after a two-year stint) in1984, little much else has been said about Blackie’s whereabouts. He was supposed to serve a long prison term, but maybe he escaped and assumed a new identity or turned state’s evidence against a cellmate to be put into witness protection or get a shorter sentence or….anything is possible, it’s a soap, you know!!!! Besides, how old is Sam, exactly??? Always wondered about that….At this point, I think we can safely assume the Daddy won’t be Blackie, but it would have been fun! And I still want to see Stamos pay a visit to PC!!!!!
IF Sam’s Daddy is a dastardly Cassadine, it HAS to be Thaao Penghlis’s Victor….the physical resemblance is dead-on!!!! Would love to see him back on GH! I know that makes it inter-familial, but with that clan anything is possible!!!! Hoping it will not be Stefan or any other member of the dynasty…..
Just read on another website that Michael Logan has tweeted he knows who Sam’s daddy will be, and it’s NOT Peter Reckell….however, he cannot reveal the identity at this time.
what the hell! !!!!!! ISNT NOT PETER RECKELL( BO FROM DAYS OF OUR LIVES?)
INI
I THINK IT IS THE NEW GUY THEY JUST HIRED
OR DUKE LAVERY
BUT I WISH SAM MCALL MORGAN FATHER WAS (VINCENT IZZARY)
Logan also stated that the person playing the role is a NOT a soap superstar, but a fine actor. Hmmm….he didn’t say if this will be as an entirely new character or someone we have previously seen or mentioned on GH.
Logan also states that the person is a a fine actor but not a soap superstar. Hmm…no word on if he’s a brand new character or someone we have previously seen or mentioned on GH.
General Hospital
GH’s Steve Burton and Maurice Benard Deliver “The Power Performance of the Week”
Last week, as General Hospital aired the final episodes they had in the can, prior to the coronavirus TV production shutdown, viewers of the series were left with a one-two punch of gut-wrenching performances from Daytime Emmy winners, Steve Burton (Jason) and Maurice Benard (Sonny)
Burton, also received great news last week, when he found out he was again Emmy-nominated in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category, while Benard, told fans he did not submit himself in the competition this year, when they were wondering where his name was in the list of the finalists in the category. However, Maurice won last year for the second time in his career, for Outstanding Lead Actor.

Now on last Tuesday and Wednesday’s episode of the ABC daytime drama series, Jason was trying his best to break it to Sonny that Sonny’s dad, Mike (Max Gail) is not going to get any better as he continues to decline from Alzheimer’s disease, and that Mike is waiting for Sonny to let him go. Sonny is devastated sitting with Mike watching him being completely unresponsive. He tell Mike he will be back to see him tomorrow, as he leaves Mike reaches out his hand slowly.
Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) has just told Jason that she believes the signs are all there that Mike is on his final decline and battle with Alzheimers. Mike is unresponsive, not eating. and slipping away quickly. She believes he wants to let go, but is holding on for Sonny’s sake, something that tears through Jason. Knowing Jason was told something by Elizabeth, Sonny asks what it is. That is when Jason tells Sonny he thinks Mike is waiting for Sonny to let him go.
An overcome Sonny tells Jason that he worries that Mike might still want to fight, but for what? He is a shell of himself and has no memories. It is then that Burton as Jason, in a touching performance, tells Sonny what he’d want if he were in Mike’s place. Jason reflect that he wouldn’t want machines keeping him alive or his kids having to go through what Sonny is having to deal with right now Jason goes on to say that even when Sonny put walls up between himself and Mike through the years, that Mike never stopped trying to break them down.

Once Jason leaves, with tears running down his cheeks, Sonny sits with Mike trying to come to terms with what he must do now. Will Sonny let Mike die and spare his father any further misery … or will he try to prolong whatever time Mike has left?
These scenes for anyone who has endured or lived through losing a loved one battling through Alzheimer’s and having to make a life and death decision, and the emotional turmoil and sadness it causes a family, could feel the pain and heartbreak played by Burton and Benard. That is why Michael Fairman TV gives Steve and Maurice the honors of The Power Performance of the Week.
Watch a few scenes from part of Steve and Maurice’s ‘Power Performance’ below
Then let us know, what did you think of Steve and Maurice’s performances in the Alzheimer’s storyline? Comment below.

TODAY: General Hospital Rebroadcasts Masterful 52nd Anniversary Episode
Fans are in for a treat today (Friday, May 22nd) when ABC’s General Hospital airs an encore presentation of one of the finest hours of soap opera in the history of the genre, with its 52nd anniversary episode from April 1, 2015.
In the episode, viewers finally learned what turned Luke (Tony Geary) into Fluke, which has been the on-going story for months; but it all lead up to the shocking reveal, when Luke revisited his past in his broken down childhood home and the demons that haunted him.

The episode goes from black and white to color, as Geary plays two roles: Luke and his abusive father, Tim, in one of the greatest performances of his career.
It is there we finally see Luke’s mother, Lena, played to perfection by Laura Wright (Carly). And, it is in these scenes we meet for the first time Chloe Lanier as a young Patricia Spencer, who was so good, she was later cast as Nelle. Playing the young Luke in another powerful performance was Joey Luthman,
Throughout the twists and turns, viewers learn that Luke not only killed his father, but accidentally killed his own mother who he loved. It was a harrowing moment of deeply repressed memories. The ending in the present time also features the Spencer family rallying around a distraught Luke in the hankie-inducing final scenes.
From the performances, to the script, to the direction, to the writing his one had it all.
So, will you be watching today’s 52nd anniversary episode of GH? Do you agree it was one of the finest episodes of the series? Comment below
