Clearly, with all the drama behind-the-scenes with the women of the panel of ABC’s morning talker The View, it’s time for a man to step in and shake things up some more!
And, that guy just happens to be General Hospital heartthrob Ryan Paevey (Nathan), who will make his talk show co-host debut on the upcoming Tuesday, February 17th episode of the long-running morning show. Glee’s Naya Rivera will also be along as guest co-host along with the Port Charles favorite.
Ryan and Naya, and the rest of the ladies of the panel, will welcome to the show John Slattery and Amy Morton, who will be on-hand promoting their new film Blue Bird. In addition, Ella Henderson will perform her hit single Ghost.
The View has been grabbing headlines again of late for the departure of Rosie O’Donnell, who last aired on Thursday, and Rosie Perez, who was rumored to be exiting, but instead is staying put. Although, recently surfaced reports from Radar Online say she is still on her way out the door!
Ryan tweeted an image and teaser of what he was going to be going next Tuesday below!

So, what would you think if The View had a man finally join their panel in an on-going capacity? Are you looking forward to seeing Ryan co-host next Tuesday’s episode? Share your thoughts below!

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)?

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!

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

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.

Just as long as he stays on GH as well, I’ll be happy.
Yes! Please stay on GH! I just showed a couple co-workers one of his many, fabulous, jaw dropping, print commercial photos… saying this is fabulous eye candy I get on my soap! 😀
He is gorgeous. and a good actor! te he he I’m not surprised he got snagged to be seen by a larger audience. they’ll probably get more people turning into GH to watch him.
Oh crud! The View set is in New York! General Hospital studios are in LA…
Damn! I was hoping this would read: “GH star Ryan Paevey set to LEAVE the soap this spring!” 🙁
He co-hosting for a day not joining the show permanently.
he is only on for 1 day. relax he is not leaving GH
The View needs to remain a woman’s panel. Stop believing that woman cannot get along.
Women are more catty BUT no mater the sex, if you get people in a room conversing about issues, they will disagree, man or woman.
What a refreshing addition
He’s not an addition. He’s just a guest host for the day.
Even only 4 a day.
I feel sorry for Ryan..
Poor guy has to suffer through being on the The View ..
Really. I do feel for the guy.. lol
They shouldv’e hired Bruce Jenner…lol
Another Women’s point of VIEW. THATS A MAN BABY! [Austin Powers]
It will be interesting to see how he survives the ladies on The View. Someone probably told him it was a good career move. We’ll see. One of the comments said that The View is in NY, GH in L.A. Going to be hard to juggle both. But it’s not the first time ABC has used one of their actors/hosts on two different shows.
Rose…he’s not becoming one of the hosts. It’s just a one time guest host appearance.
Next they will force him to appear on The Chew.
ABC is run by morons, Brian Frons may have been a particularly despicable one,but the executive suites at the networks are populated by many more of these losers who wield a great deal of power
and don’t know what they are doing.ABC/Disney is all about brand promotion and cross-promotion -not about providing quality entertainment for the audience.
The View should have been put out of its misery (and the audience’s)a long time ago.It’s a disgrace.
What makes them think he has enough personality to be in front of a live audience….uggh disappointing LOL
Dude has a guardian angel (or a relative) at GH he’s being well marketed/promed …he doesn’t suffer for story either.
He’s just a guest host. And he has a lot of personality. Actually quite intelligent with varied interests…
I hate The View..a bunch of cackling, screaming, fighting assine women.
He will fit right in. Oh and those yentas with fall all over him. The only thing worse is that crazy hostess from the TALK, Sheryl Underwood, she is stalker crazy!
He will definitely be the prettiest one on the show!
LOVE TO WATCH HIM BUT CANT STAND THIS SHOW!!!!!!! WONT EVER BE WATCHING.
Barbra knew what she was doing, for sure.
I think RP is smart to try and get exposure on a show like The View. I’ve seen him a couple of times on Extra and he’s pretty good. Something like that would probably be a much better career path than acting for him to follow.
He had nothing to do with this one-off booking-he was told to do it to attempt to draw his fans into watching the sinking ship the View.
Oh, sweet Jesus…I think I shall swoon…LOL.
I must remember to watch. I feel badly for THE VIEW as it has not been up to par with the new crew aboard.
Ryan is such a welcomed guest host…I can’t believe it. Good for you, producers of the show!!
I am truly looking forward to this….with bated breath….LOL.
I hope he will be asked personal questions….I like those. Seriously.
Hi CeeCee 🙂
I am going to send you a life sized photo of Ryan, the one of his tight butt and rippling abs..
Make room under your bed to hide it from hubby 😉
Send her his audition tapes, acting lessons, and Emmy, oh right they dont exist! You two better behave!
I thought this show was supposed to be womens point of view with a women only panel???…lol
They’ve had men in the panel before…
A guest host or regular ? yes, as long as he stays with GH !
I am not a fan of the View. I liked when Barbara appeared.. sometimes. Can’t stand Rosie Perez who appears not very smart.. to be kind. But i will watch when Ryan is on. I don’t care if they get a man on there, but don’t want it to be Ryan, I want him to stay on GH.
Hi, Lin.
Rosie Perez is one of the smartest women to grace TV. She is a College graduate and then some.
Yes, I have a hard time understanding her speech sometimes, however that does not , by any means, suggest she is stupid. She is very altruistic with her charities and works hard for the rights of the underdog.
If you would just take a moment and listen with a positive attitude, or read her bio, you would automatically be aware of how well-versed this woman Really is …..socially, politically and worldly
I agree CeeCee. This Rosie is tight, that other Rosie is a big mouth bully who walked away again. Thank God.
Rosie Perez needs to be fired from the view. She is a stupid lady and a troll. Very annoying and her wigs looks cheap. lol.
@Darren…I’d love to see what you look like…
Ugh, why does he want to do that crappy show? Hopefully, he does better than Jason Thompson (where those yentas wouldn’t let him get a word in edgewise!).
The view needs to be cancelled, Ryan please talk and cutt off these annoying ladies. They are all has beens. Rosie O Donnell was smart to leave. the view again. The view is no longer watchable, but I will watch Ryan next week.
What is your definition of ‘has been’, Gino? Someone who does not exist any longer? Would you like to be thought of as an ‘has been?’ Say you do not like the panel or disagree with what they impart….but don’t call anyone THAT. They exist.
I don’t care what anyone says. I like what these women represent. I support and applaud their individualism and their Frank approach. Yes, the show has been losing steam. Yes, this musical chairs effect is irritating….I do not like the concept of all the different guest hosts showing up ( except Ryan, of course)…..it gives the show a sense of disconnection. But, for everyone to come down on the show is not fair. If ‘they’ use gimmicks to stay afloat, sobeit. ‘They’ have the right to try to salvage the show, if they are able. More power to ‘them’. I am not afraid to speak my mind, within the limits of decorum…I never have been. I will not speak the words that everyone else speaks just to be part of the in-group. I have my own voice and I will use it. I haven’t been called the Ice Princess throughout my College and graduate years for nothing.
“Walters and company started a great thing with THE VIEW. Everyone else is a copycat”. …words of wisdom from my Gran.
Well….. Ryan is actually a descent interviewer. I’ll watch that ONE episode of the view….
I think some of you are misinterpreting. He’s not a new permant host of this hideous show…he’s a one time guest host…to boost ratings. I hate being manipulated, and I hate The View…bit I’ll dvr this one edpisode because I love this guy!
@rebecca1….I don’t think there has ever been a time I’ve been more in agreement with you!!!! I also loathe this appalling show—I always have and actually refer to it as “The Shrew(s)” because none of the women featured on it has ever spoken to or for me. Quite frankly, I find it to be an embarrassment to the female species, and I also have to add that there would be a far better cross-section of ladies and opinions, not to mention more intelligent conversation and debate, were Mr. Fairman to take the two of us, plus k/Kay, CeeCee and even su and put us together in a studio!!!! Now THAT would be EPIC! ……P.S. Of course, referees—and possibly bouncers—would be required! Perhaps Harry, jimh, Patrick, Timmm and some of our other favorite male regulars here at MFSoaps could provide assistance, although I’m sure YOU would prefer Ryan Paevey!!!! LOL…..
I gotta say…I pretty much quit watching The View after Joy Behar left. B-u-t…since that VERY RUGGEDLY DREAMY Ryan Paevey will be Co-Hosting The View this upcoming Tuesday (February 17th), I will definitely be watching!!!!! RYAN TRULY ROCKS!!!!!
Yes jaybird Ryan rocks and he is one hot hot dude. Very sexy eye candy, I am drooling LOL. My boyfriend will kill me. lmao. I am a bad bad boy.
So guys, do we agree, Ryan is smoking hot but is not a good actor?
Mario cantone is sort of a semi regular and he’s annoying but in my opinion a men would ruin it and Mario is prove of that. I find it interesting though that the view under the entertainment umbrella barely ever invited anyone from soaps or gh specifically yet under the news umbrella they have Ryan coming in to co host do thumbs up to that…
Mario Cantone is a cutie, not annoying at all. Aria take your meds and please have a nice day.
I love Mario. He has this wry, sardonic sense of humor (reminds me a little of harry) , where I’m somewhat bewildered…is he serious? I can’t tell sometimes. LOL.
I will be taping it to watch. Depending on how good it is I may want to watch it more than once. I like when they shake things up. Ryan is an awesome shake up. Looking forward to seeing him natural and talking with others instead of just acting. Besides the eye candy he has an excellent voice.
They are shaking things up because they are desperate. The show is tanking. Ryan will try and sway females to watch GH. Thats it. Excellent voice? He sounds like he has marbles in his mouth when he speaks! Just saying.
Lol, Timmmm. You REALLY don’t like Ryan’s acting. I think he’s adorable both in looks and execution. He doesn’t seem like he IS acting…there’s almost a naivete or in-the- moment subtle quality that makes him more real to me. He doesn’t overact, nor does he make exaggerated expressions or reactions. Just comes off as a good guy, earnest, moral and an everyday guy despite his exquisite looks. Yes, he spoke with very stilted, clipped sentences when he first appeared…I think he’s warmed up and relaxed which makes for a more realistic delivery. Now leave him alone! 😉
I’m sure Ryan is a good guy. I guess my biggest problem is if he is so green, why cast him in THIS role who has so many scenes with key characters of which most our veterans of the show?
I don’t think he’s been thrown in with the vets. Most of his scenes are with Dante and Maxi…less so with Dr. O and Anna. Either way , he never ruins a scene for me…I like his character and him in the role. I think the major distraction is his stunning looks….you just can’t help but be aware of them!
GH is not tanking! There are plenty of people out there that have been watching since they were kids just like me! Females are already watching because of him. Of course it would not hurt to have some more people watching. Variety is what keeps people watching shows so when the View has men on that is the show shaking things up and that is a good thing. Bottom line is that the network is keeping itself alive!
I think he meant The View is tanking.
