That lusty Port Charles duo, Julian Jerome and Alexis Davis, just can’t seem to fight the attraction they have for each other no matter how hard one of them may try …  especially the legal eagle!

Now, with Julian in Pentonville along with his arch nemesis Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), the Fluke (Tony Geary)  story unraveling, and Alexis caught between the man she has the “hots” for and the law, it was the perfect time to sit down for a chitchat with the actors who bring the couple known as “Julexis” to life!

On-Air On-Soaps sat down this past week with Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) and William deVry (Julian) at the ABC TCA Winter Press Tour to get the low down on those now infamous sex scenes, where they see their on-screen love story going from here, how they shed a tear in emotional scenes and prepare for them, and what if  … Alexis and Julian were to go on the run!  And, we discuss with Nancy her new digital series on ABC.com, GH Now! which just had its online premiere one week ago with the posting of its first three episodes.  We discuss the vignettes involving Nancy and the GH cast, the creation of it, Nancy’s hopes for it, and have some inside fun with it!

Later in the video when discussing how Alexis feels towards Julian, Nancy responded; “He’s got Alexis all sexed-up now!”  When discussing kissing William as Julian, Nancy called it, “Smoldering!”

In terms of what is on the horizon for Julexis, William revealed, “I think there is some good stuff coming up, and some some curve balls coming our way, but I think Julexis fans will have some things to chew off the bone … let’s put it that way.”   In terms of how other story can impact the duo, deVry commented, “We have an interesting thing with Sonny in state prison right now …. and there is something that comes up with Sonny that I think is ingenious,  and so we need something ingenious to allow us to come back to Port Charles.”

Watch Nancy and Will chat with Michael Fairman after the jump! Then let us know what was your favorite part of the conversation? And, what do you think should happen next in the love story of Julexis? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

What works…Julian and Olivia…that pairing made me actually like them as i was getting bored with each character…let Alexis take a cold shower…or give her to Scotty…same thing either way(but i did notice that Alexis and Scotty do have some on screen chemistry)…lol

lol
think big jimh !
Julian and Alexis are not married, engaged, or even going steady..
Julian can be with both Olivia and Alexes.. He is a bachelor, afteral..
Gotta let some of the soap men be casanovias or some such thing..

Now that he is prison it looks like he’s also falling for Sonny…lol

I, actually liked the Julian and Olivia pairing, too. I was surprised, I saw something magical between the two actors during that new year’s romp.

I’m with you, Jeremy….”Julivia” is a fun, fresh and fabulous coupling…an unexpected delight! I’m still hoping for a baby to result from their New Year’s canoodle session …that would just be the icing on the cake!!!! (Plus what a laugh riot for Julian to explain that one to his new “bestie,” Sonny…..Come to think of it, there could be an entire episode built around the “locker room talk” of those two mafiosos discussing their conquests….especially the ones that they’ve shared! Oh, and how about Sonny impregnating Jerome’s daughter, Sam? LOL…. )

hey Shay, I like it. “Julivia”…sounds so much hotter than Julexias (spelling?). Hopefully we’ll see more between Olivia and Julian before Lisa goes off to have her baby. The hookup between them, helped me want to see more of Olivia. What else?…

Thanks, Jeremy!!!! I like the “Julivia” tag, too….it’s zingy and cool, which perfectly fits this exciting couple. I really hope there is a further exploration of those two together…..it’s time for Julian to be with a more youthful and appealing, less tortured type…Olivia definitely fills that bill! Furthermore, I’m ready for some mixing-up of other status quo couples…. the usual pairings on GH have become so banal….Patrick and Sam are a good start, although it seems they may be short-lived. I liked Jake and Liz, as well, as her thing with Rick really never worked for me. As for Carly, who in Port Charles has the right stuff to handle her? How about Shawn? If he’s tough enough to be Sonny’s enforcer, he should be able to take on Ms. Jacks! And he’s had combat experience, so that’s a plus for anyone when it comes to dealing with Carly! (I also could have seen her with Julian awhile back….quite frankly, when it comes to Mr. Jerome, I would consider “ABA”….anybody but Alexis…to be preferable!)

hey again, Shay-man, I too, like Jason with Liz, though, I’m torn because for chemistry sake… I’ve always favored the Liz and Rick pairing. For me, Sam and Patrick, I’m still not feeling it…Patrick should play the field. Right now, I think Carly needs to focus on her relationships with her children, Michael and Morgan and the bratty, Josslyn. Besides, Carly had a brief thing with Shawn a few years back. More importantly, I’m intrigued who Ava may be paired up upon her release from prison. Silas, Morgan, again… 🙂
or…the new Sloane?

Jeremy….You say you’re not feeling Sam and Patrick…not even today???? I find their pairing to be very easy and natural….although I also liked Ms. Morgan with Silas, too. (KM seems to work well with all of her leading men!)….As for Patrick, as long as they keep him as far away from Sappy as possible, then I’m happy….they were an absolute disaster!!! He was good with Britt—I so miss that girl!—-and initially I was rooting for him to be with Liz after he thought Robin had died. However, I don’t know that he should ever return to his “player” days….still, it will be interesting to see what becomes of him after the expected fallout with Sam and the soon-to-be-revealed Jason. You are so right when you say that Carly should be concentrating on her children, especially since she always acts as though she is “Mother of the Year,” but I simply cannot fathom that woman without a man for very long….perhaps she will rekindle things with Shawn once they kill off Jordan???? Carly needs someone physically imposing enough to keep her in line, instead of the diminutive don or another quirky choice like Franco. To my way of thinking, Shawn could do that in a manner that no one has since Jax. To be candid, I’ve never been a Rick fan, so no matter who he is coupled with I’m not on board….guy just creeps me out!!!! (Sorry about that…LOL)…..And what to do with Silas???? (Perhaps pair him with Anna? They both have a cool, contemporary vibe….) I feel bad that he has lost Sam…they clicked pretty well….yet I’ve never been able to envision him with Ava…even back in the day! (Nor Nina either, for that matter….) And poor Morgan…..if Kiki is indeed leaving town—with KA’s departure—-then I suppose he shall one day reunite with Ava. Since news of the Sloane recast, I don’t know what to think about that character’s romantic possibilities…I like the current “Sloane Ranger,” so I’m not at all enthused about the replacement.

Shay-man, you always give me a lot of good things to think about!
For me, I felt more connection & chemistry with Sam (KM) & Silas (ME). I did watch today’s episode… and, even though Sam & Patrick made love, I’m not sold yet…on this pairing. As a couple, I feel like they are too safe. Yeah, I miss firecracker, Britt, too. As for Carly, I did like her with Shawn years ago during their brief romance, however, gosh…not sure how and what new Sloane will be about, perhaps if new Sloane isn’t into Anna, maybe he can be matched up with Carly?

I love Olivia with Julian! I’m so tired of Alexis giving him the run around! She knows what he does for a living! Give Olivia a chance! She deserves it! Not that it matters Ron Carlivaiti always ruins the great couples! Just look at Robin and Patrick! He’s turned the character into someone the fans don’t know or even like anymore!!!

I think Ron has ruined GH! He’s changed the history of the characters and the show! His s/l are long and drawn out! Oh and so boring! I’d rather GH be canceled then continue going on the way it is! I’ve watched since 7th grade and I don’t care to watch it anymore!!!

Molly, here is some friendly advice…if you dont like GH and dont want to watch anymore, simply turn it off but dont wish for its cancellation…it would put hundreds out of work…plus there are others who enjoy it still…it may be cancelled one day but let some of us be able to watch while we can still can…i know it can be a better show but right now moments still are enjoyable and ill continue to support it and the genre until they are all gone or i croak…ribbit…lol…i can wait for the latter…lol

Your right although I’m unhappy with GH and the writer’s I shouldn’t wish for its cancellation and I don’t want it cancelled! I just want quality writing again and character’s not to have such drastic changes! Btw I don’t watch GH anymore! I stopped watching in November! I hope it improves so I can enjoy it again!

I want the quality writing again too…i see sprinkles of it here and there…the show lacks a good hero and herione team…a team we can cheer for and thats whats missing here…GH is overrun by too many villians!!!

I agree! Anna and the PC Police Dept have been made to look incompetent! Another problem I have! The drastic change in Anna! She’s always been a smart brave intelligent woman! She hasn’t a clue that Robin’s in trouble! The real Anna would’ve known something was up immediately! Also the way Dr O speaks to her! Anna would never let anyone push her around like that! Another complete character change! The writer’s R rewriting the history and the character portrayals! I think they need to go back and watch tapes of the old GH when it was at its best!!!

wow!
Julian and Alexs are electrifying!
after their hot moments I’d think they both would need a cold shower!
As said;
”’there is something that comes up with Sonny that I think is ingenious, and so we need something ingenious to allow us to come back to Port Charles.””
//
RC, FV and team are indeed ingenious..
they do keep us wondering and trying to solve the puzzles.. and always the shocker..
I am excited to see how RC and team will bring ‘all’ out of prison..
that will be a good one!!!

Looking forward to more heat from from the burning couple- Julian and Alexes..
I really like the way the couples are written on GH.. they are hot and always intriguing and never boring, and that is a good thing to be out of the traditional soap couple bore me to death with their love problems junko.
GH writes its’ couples captivating to entertain me, I like that..

I also like Alexis and Julian, but their love is new and they expect each other. to be loyal to the other. I think at times they are frightened of commitment. I believe that Alexis has been hurt and if Julian was in her life long ago, that the hurt they went through is not the hurt they want to live with again. Olivia is in love with Sonny, Ned and Julian ,give me a break. I like Olivia, but with someone else that loves her and is not using her.

I loved it!

was an amazing interview, loved the fact that NLG gave us heads up about spray tan. Loved the fact that amazing stuff coming up for Julexis

I love it! Thanks for the great interview.

Love Julian and Alexis together!!

I watch the entire show, but find when Julexis is not on for a long time, it is hard for me to watch. Let us hope that this couple will be the supercouple for General hospital. They sizzle and have so much chemistry I also like Bobby,
Dante and Lulu, Luke is getting to me either way. I was hoping for big things with this General Hospital 2015 and will not give up quite yet. I suppose if Nancy is always on it, they will not lose me as a viewer. Nancy has grown as an actress and I do really like William Avey Shirley

Want Julexis reunited . Love julian and alexis together so hot! Hope for lots of william deVry push-ups and nancyleegrrahn spray tans,

I love Julexis. What I saw that was “magical” was that hot fantasy sequence on Jan. 5! Wow! I really look forward to where their story takes them next! Alexis doesn’t need a cold shower, she’s getting her freak on more than the rest of the town combined b/c it leads to great ratings! Looking forward to that great February Sweeps month!

Exactly

Love Will DeVry (Julian) and Nancy Lee Grahn(Alexis) together, they are the most captivating, hottest, soap couple on any soap. Something I forget am watching a soap when watching these two. Chemistry oh boy do they have it. Great interview, love their bantering back and forward. Love how Will complements his acting partner (Nancy Lee Grahn)

Loved the interview! Will and Nancy are hilarious. I can’t wait to see what comes next for Julexis!

What you have here are two actors who truly enjoy working together and it translates onscreen. The chemistry between these two is organic and electrifying. The fantasy scenes on the 1/5 were smokin hot and I feel like I’m watching a real life couple. Nothing seems forced when it comes to their scenes. This couple brought me back to GH. I’m looking forward to thier reunion. I hope to see them
On my screen for many years to come. So much storyline potential. I hope to see it play out, they will rock any story they are given.

Thank you! It was a delighful interview I liked it a lot. It was really amuzing! Both Will and Nancy are charming, adorable and fun! Great to hear that interesting things are coming for Alexis and Julian! They have a messy, complicated, layred relationship and magnetic chemistry!!!! There is something so very special about this pair. They are hot and tender, stubborn and loving and never dissappoint viewers with boring! NLG and WDV deliver great perfomances on screen.
Way to go Julexis! Looking forward to February!

Of course living in Canada, I cannot see the whole video, but, I do love Nancy and Will
playing Julian and Alexis. They are a mature couple, but at times his bad side comes out when she hurts him. He is a maverick and a great actor. I also think and have always thought Nancy is a great actress. She has grown so much as an actress to me. Juliexis are well liked in this area of Canada. I just want to be able to get General Hospital/Now. I try and read all of the shows that are put in text online. I just hope I live long enough to see these couple get together. Shirley

Loved the interview!! Thank you, Michael!! NLG/WDV have amazing chemistry and Jullan/Alexis are the best couples right now! Absolutely love them!

Nancy and Will are magical. They’re captivating together and make an incredible team. Thanks Michael for the interview.

Loved the interview! Wil and Nancy are so cute together and clearly enjoy their partnership. I’m very excited for what’s to come for Julexis! Looking forward to a reunion for the hottest duo in daytime! Julexis have been apart far too long now. Whatever curves are coming their way in the future, I hope they face them together as a couple. Thanks for a great interview! Wil and Nancy are the best and always so good to their fans. Can’t wait for more amazing Julexis scenes to hit the screen! They keep me tuning in to GH.

Wow, thanks for this! I really loved it! I love Julian and Alexis together they’re my all time favorite daytime pair!!

Julian and Alexis are lightning in a bottle – captured it electrifies. Nancy and Will have amazing chemistry as actors but you can see from this interview there is a great friendship that underscores it. I love Julexis because they are compelling, messy, sexy, hot and every scene feels like I’m watching a real couple tackle their life together – only with odd story obstacles. You don’t see that very often any longer on soaps. Thank you for the interview!

Great interview! It’s nice to see Wil and Nancy’s playful side. They clearly like working together. As a fan, I enjoy how much they seem to appreciate each other.

These two are great both on screen and off. They smolder and shine! I can’t wait to see what happens next for Julian and Alexis on GH. They have a fun “love conquers all” kind of feel to their relationship. I am excited for their journey.

Thank you so much for the interview Michael. Love them.

Thanks for this wonderful interview! I look forward to more coverage of William DeVry, Nancy Lee Grahn, and Julexis as the couple works their way back to a reunion.

Thank you Michael for this fabulous interview! I love Julexis like I’ve never loved a soap couple before. Julian & Alexis may have chemistry with others but together that chemistry trancends into something magical! They’re passionate, sexy, intense, playful! ? There’s tons of story to be told! The Jan 5th fantasy scene blew everyone else out of the water! Will & Nancy are pure GOLD together.

Awesome interview Michael! We haven’t seen a couple like this since Luke and Laura! Nancy Lee and William are fun, sweet, exciting, unpredictable, sexy and gorgeous on the eyes as #Julexis. Your eyes are glued to the tv screen when they are on and wanting more when they are off! I’m so excited to see what’s in store for our super soap couple. Hope there’s a lot of meat on that bone that Will was talking about for Julexis fans!

I came back to GH for Julexis. I’ve loved Nancy Lee Grahn in other pairings but this one is my favorite because there is a maturity to them, and I’m not just talking about age. These characters have lived and lost and weren’t looking for love, but here they are. I also like when a couple comes together and works which TPTB weren’t counting on or pushing for us to like. This is a couple the fans wanted, which is more proof that sometimes the audience really does know best. No doubt, NLG and WdV are great friends and enjoy working together and that’s another thing we see when they’re together on screen. As for when they get together, I can wait. The best is worth waiting for.

I loved this video julexis is thee best soap pairing in a long time I’m excited what’s in store for them.On another note if you don’t like julexis why watch this video or even comment don’t tell me you can’t read. So if you think julian should be paired with Olivia get that outta here if you like them which yes people can like what you like but go post that stuff else where NOT ON a julexis interview peace.

I hadn’t watched soaps in years, then I saw a Julian and Alexis scene last year and I’ve been hooked ever since. Only wish they were on more. And, I’m perplexed that they’re basically ignored by soap mags. Seems strange considering how popular they are. I’m extra grateful to see people like Michael Fairman and Michael Logan showing them a little love. Nancy Lee Grahn and William deVry give great interviews and their onscreen chemistry in undeniable. General Hospital went outside of the box with these two and it paid off. “Julexis” are smart, intense, sexy, and complicated. What’s not to love?

Thank you, Michael, Nancy, and William for the awesome interview!

First of all, I love this interview! Nancy and Wil are just so laid back and comfortable with each that it is easily transferred onscreen. Their chemistry on and off screen is out of this world. There has never been any daytime couple that excites me the way they do! They make me feel like I’m watching a real life couple who is going through real life issues. Julexis may be a complicated hot mess but they are a gorgeous complicated hot mess that always brings their “A” game to every scene. They don’t have to be doing anything in a scene to bring the heat. Julexis is “It” for each other!
Should Julian and Alexis go on the run? I say HELL to the YES! Matter of fact, give these two their own sitcom. Julexis equals ratings GOLD! Hell, they’re better than gold. They’re PLATINUM! Julexis is the reason why I started back watching and I give credit to Nancy and Wil for that. They are truly awesome and most amazing actors in Daytime. There’s really no other couple that’s better. I really can’t wait for sweeps. I know it will be awesome.

Thanks so much for this interview. Wil and Nancy are wonderful actors and wonderful people. You can see how much they love working together and their onscreen chemistry is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I look forward to their reunion, it has been far too long!! I can handle angst with this couple as long as they are together during the angst. I hope Julexis are together for many years to come. They are the reason I came back to GH after almost 10 years away. Julexis forever!!

This was lovely! I started watching General Hospital again because I had been hearing so much about Julian and Alexis from my college friends who watch GH in between classes. NLG and WDV have fantastic chem onscreen and seem like the perfect screen partners offscreen.

I can’t wait to see what happens next with Julian and Alexis, these months that they have been broken up has been TORTURE. I CAN NOT WAIT to see them back together!

Thank you for this amazing interview with Will and Nancy. They are hilarious and you can see how much they love working with each other. I’m so excited on the upcoming reunion of JULEXIS. These two belong together and I want them together for a very long time. They are hot, and their connection is explosive. They are the super couple of GH and I would love to see Julexis go on the run too. I want an adventure for them. They deeply love each and I want them to work things out.

What makes Julian and Alexis so captivating is;
… lust
besides the love they lust ..
they explode when they touch.. Julian doesn’t hesitate to just do it!
He grabs her and pull her against her and then TNT!
They are a soap couple dream = lust and love ..

oooppss..
correction;
Julian grabs her and pull her against ”him”

see! I got all tizzy just thinking about it 😉 lol

Sue’s Mojo is rising.

Loved it. So funny and light. They have an amazing chemistry together. Can’t wait to see them in screen. Hope the story will be great because NLG and WDV are incredibly good actor and magical together! They are very unique and intersting! Julexis in love and together that is what I want.

Thank you for this great interview!! Love Wil and Nancy, and loved seeing them interact off-screen. Looking forward to more Julexis on GH and hopefully more coverage on this amazing couple!

I adore Julexis!! They have gotten me watching GH again! Nancy and Will have the most amazing chemistry EVER….they are a supercouple IMO. Nobody on soaps right now even comes close to them!! Reunite Julexis!

That was fun!! Thanks for doing an interview with GH’s most dynamic duo. Julian and Alexis are everything I love about soap couples. A brilliant pairing brought to life by the amazingly talented Nancy Lee Grahn and William deVry. I can’t wait for Julian and Alexis to reunite. They’re sexy as hell, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that they’re not 20-somethings. Young love is sweet, but this is so much sexier!!!

Thank you so much for this interview Michael. It was wonderful.!! Nancy and Wil are the best couple to hit soaps in years and it was great to see them interact together off screen as well.

I have been a long time GH viewer but was getting a little bored with the show and decided to stop watching back in early 2013. However Nancy and Wil together as Julexis brought me back to GH. They are now the main resaon I watch the show. I am captivated when they are on my screen. They are must see TV for me. They really do remind me of the old soap super couple days. They have incredible chemistry and are not only super hot and sexy but smart, witty, adorable, sweet and romantic. They appeal to all ages which is a rare thing today. The viewers saw something in them and made them into the popular couple they are today. Nancy and Wil always bring their A game. I can’t wait to see what is in store for them in 2015. Along with the angst I want some romance and some fun. I will be watching no matter what they do as long as they are on my screen. I look forward to many years of storyline for my favorite couple..

Thanks again Michael, Nancy and Wil for the great interview!

Wonderful interview! Wil and Nancy clearly enjoy each other and are pulling for Julexis. I’m pulling for them, too. No NYE one night stand can compare to the intense connection, passion, sexiness and storyline potential that Julexis has. They have tapped into something unique and much needed on daytime. Thank you for the interview, Michael!

Thank you for the interview! It seems that you all had fun! Will and Nancy are so captivating and entertaining. They are compliment each other in personalities. They work together very well. Thank you giving us some news about Julexis. It’s something to look forward to. I love them together – incredible rapport and chemistry on screen. They bring the best in soap couples. Absolutely love them!!!

Thank you for this wonderful interview! Julian and Alexis are my favorite couple right now and are single-handedly responsible for bringing me back to GH after over a decade of not watching. NLG and WDV have wonderful chemistry, both on and off-screen, and seem to compliment one another perfectly. As Julian and Alexis, they are captivating, passionate, romantic, and intense. I LOVE watching them together and can’t wait to see where their story goes next.

I LOVED this interview! We got lots of information and insight into them as a pairing, as well as Nancy being able to promote GHNow, which is the most hilarious show concept I’ve seen in a while!

I absolutely adore Julian and Alexis as a couple, and it’s great to hear that they will be reconnecting soon. They always leave me wanting more and captivate my senses. It’s great to see the fun teasing relationship Wil and Nancy have.

Probably my favorite part was when Nancy said, “Mostly, I think about dead puppies.” Everyone started laughing. Loved the banter between the 3 of you, the interview was wonderful, and I hope you get to interview them again in the future Michael! Thank you again for this, looked like a lot of fun, great chemistry!

Julexis is such an original and smokin’ hot pairing! They appeal to all age groups and can’t wait to see what is in store for them.

Nancy run her mouth to much.I hve no ideal who put them out as a hot couple, but more fans do not think of them that way.She really do talk to much!

She is overwhelming at times. We all know she is independent. Great.

Thank you, Kathie Simmons….and Timmm, too! You tell it like it is….I will never understand the so-called appeal of Alexis, particularly with Julian. He has it going on enough all by his lonesome, he certainly does not need to be paired up with this tiresome, overbearing woman. In fact, he’s far preferable coupled with Olivia!

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

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

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

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON

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

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

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

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

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A REUNION PLUS A HEAD NURSE DEFENDS SONNY

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

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

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

WSB WAR SCARS

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

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

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

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