General Hospital
George Russo to Appear on General Hospital as Carmine Cerullo
Coming up, it looks like Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) grandfather, Carmine Cerullo is headed to Port Charles.
According to casting news from the ABC soap opera, George Russo will take on the role. Russo will tape his episode next week on April 15th and will appear on the May 15th episode of the long-running daytime drama series.
If George looks familiar he has been in numerous primetime television shows and motion pictures including: The Offer. Winning Time, Grand Crew and Shameless.

Longtime GH viewers will recall that Lois’ (Rena Sofer) dad, Carmine, was previously showed up in Port Charles on and off from 1994 to 1996 and was played by John Capudice.
Clearly, it seems that Carmine will be a part of Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s wedding. Will it go off without a hitch? Are you looking forward to it? Stay tuned.
Who else would you like to see attend the nuptials? Gloria Cerullo (Ellen Travolta), any other blasts from the pasts who should be present? Let us know in the comment section.
Gloria HAS to attend! PLEASE!!!
Anthoni Gear Luke Spencer for Tracy
Where’s the father of the bride Ned been? Haven’t seen him in months! Is he not walking his daughter down the aisle? Seems a bit strange.
Who is Gloria???
A simple Google search of “Gloria gh” tells you she is Lois’ mother.
Why do you have to constantly be snarky? She wasn’t on Google when she asked the question, she’s “here.” So if you’re going to take the time to reply, just tell her who “Gloria” is. Reminds me of when I was wondering if a particular story was written by the new writers or the ones recently fired. Your reply (not verbatim) “a simple look at the credits” will tell you.
I was wondering if Ned would ever appear again, especially to marry off his daughter, looks like Brooke’s Nonno may be doing the honors.
Wally posted he’ll be back soon. Yes, he’s been MIA for a bit, but he was on the front burner for much of 2023 with the return of Eddie Maine.
Many, including myself, have been wondering. Usually I look for info on “X” (Twitter) but haven’t been on in a while. He was barely on before he got the Eddie Maine story, and then he just disappeared again. It’s glaring and all wrong. There are barely any real Quartermaines left; and all we get is a scene with Lois and Olivia or Lois and Brook Lynn, or Brook Lynn and Tracy. Gone are the family scenes which could have been somewhat revived now that Tracy’s back; Ned, Tracy, Brook Lynn, Lois, should have all been planning her wedding, Ned should be interacting with Gregory (two fathers who’s children are marrying), Michael & Drew (even though this Drew being a Quartermaine still doesn’t work) with Ned AND Tracy over ELQ. They should bring Dillon back too and bring AJ back again and make it stick this time (Carlivati should never have killed him off.) There’s so much opportunity to bring this family back and it’s constantly ignored and reduced to Olivia scenes. Before Tracy came back she was the “force” in this Quartermaine 2.0 attempt at a revival.
Yes, Gloria should be there. The big question is Jackie. Will they get Kim Delaney back or bring in a recast. Otherwise, it already seems rather odd that “Harry” hasn’t mentioned his mother at all during the planning process. Also, it was never mentioned of her divorce with Gregory was ever finalized.
Exactly she is a huge fan favorite And I would love to see her! It is crazy getting all these new assistants and managers when we would love to see more nurses and drs… felix, dr o? And yes Harry’s Mom should be there…
All very valid points. Makes me wonder how many “writers ago” wrote these parts of the story. I also wondering how us fans recall all this yet it can appear the writers do not.
Perhaps one of us could be hired as storyline historians. Haha.
And the thing is all it takes is a “throw away line” such as “Jackie’s covering the conflict overseas” or Gregory asking Alexis to review his divorce papers.
All is forgiven if Frank pulls a major surprise and gets Demi Moore for 2 episodes. I know, I’m dreaming on that one.
I thought I’d already posted but I guess not, so I’ll say it again. Haven’t seen Ned in weeks so I’m thinking it will be nice for Brooke to have her Nonno give her away. I’m not too crazy about Gloria, so doesn’t matter to me if she comes or not. Tracy makes up for two grandmothers.
Where is Ned?
How about Chase’s mother?? No mention of her at all. Did she die and we didn’t hear about it?
Yes she should be
Luke spencer should show up because he is still alive!
Anthony Geary is nearly 77 and comfortably retired in The Netherlands. Despite the poorly written offscreen departure, Luke will remain dead.
When Lulu eventually wakes up she’ll have a laundry list of people she knew who died during her coma.
“Anthony Geary is nearly 77” oh dear ! Don’t even go there… how old are many of us, ( reading the comments by many of the usual posters ) are near that age ourselves!!??
If he’s 77 he could come back to the US and run for President, and be the youngest candidate on the ballot.
Anthony Geary retired long ago and lives in Amsterdam; he has no plans to ever return. And even if “Luke” retured? If the actor just made an appearance and left again, we’d lose Jane Elliott (Tracy) too. With all the love Tracy has for Luke, she’d obviously leave with him. So let’s be thankful we have the wonderful Jane Elliott back on the show. Long may she stay…
Just curious how you know Anthony Geary’s thoughts or plans for his life and actions.
I doubt Luke will show up for the wedding, but it is interesting how he somehow became “the love of Tracy’s life”, based on the talk she had with BrookLynn the other day.
Luke’s still alive out there somewhere. Believe me, I would be the first one to know if he wasn’t. I mean, let’s face it, his chances of going the other direction are very slim.
I can’t think of any other characters I’d like to see return other than Ned. Oh wait, I lied. It would be fun to see Lois’ best friend, Brenda Barrett return for the wedding. I’m sure it’ll be an even filled with unexpected turns, laughs and drama. I like Brook Lynn and Chase together, and hope they do get married. But I wish the writers would end the train wreck that is Finn and Elizabeth already. Sorry, I will beat that dead horse until it happens. That unofficial poll on Daily Drama (Finn & Liz Hot or Not?) proved overwhelmingly that most fans find this couple are NOT a good match.
Ugh; I used to love “Brenda.” But after reading Vanessa Marcils’ Instagram posts if I never see her on any TV show again it’ll be too soon. I’ll leave it at that, other than to say sometimes it’s better not to “know” the actor who plays a character you like.
Hilarious! I feel the same when I read your posts ! Again no offense…
Finn has been fired so I hear.
The actual rumor from a rarely credible online source is that Easton told GH that he’d finish out his contract but not renew.
Brenda was a great character in her original run, but her returns have been a disaster. First time, she brought Luis Alcazar with her. Second time, it was Teddy Balkan. Third time, there wasn’t any cartoonish villains tagging along, but she kinda became one herself, faking a drunken hookup with teenage Michael, just to piss off Carly.
If she wanted to return long term, they might be able to salvage the character again. Certainly would be an upgrade for Sonny over the recent trainwreck he’s getting himself out of after the last 3 years.
Hey, at this point, anyone would be an upgrade for Sonny. Carly, Nina, Ava, which one is the worst? I was wondering about Blaze’s mother, she and Sonny seem simpatico, if that’s the right word. How many women would want to be with a man who makes his living like he does?
Seeing as how I’m not too crazy about either character, I can not think of any other character for either one of them that is as equally boring.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
The marriage of Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) may have come to an end by the conclusion of the Tuesday, September 8 episode of General Hospital.
In story, confronted by Trina (Tabyana Ali), and in front of a room full of Quartermaines, Brook Lynn copped to being the other driver involved in the crash that scarred Jordan’s (Tanisha Harper) face and ultimately sent Curtis (Donnell Turner) to prison.
Chase, who thinks at this point Brook Lynn was covering up her involvement by protecting someone else in the family is shocked to learn it’s Brook Lynn who actually was the driver. Brook Lynn explains she never saw any evidence of a crash when she ran into Jordan’s car, so she didn’t stop to check on anyone. Trina and Jordan are outraged as is Chase.

CHASE PUTS BROOK LYNN ON BLAST
Soon, it comes out that Tracy (Jane Elliot) was involved in the cover-up, and tries to point out that Brook Lynn wasn’t responsible for causing the accident or Curtis punching Isaiah, but Trina says that Brook Lynn tore her family apart, and her father is in prison without the ability to see his newborn son. Trina storms out with Kai (Jen Austin Astrup).
Next, Chase goes on blast on Brook Lynn in front of her entire family. Chase starts to walk out the front door as Brook Lynn tries to stop him. At this point, Chase is all about being lied to, and he goes in on his wife, that they promised there would be no more secrets between them.
Brook Lynn digs a deeper hole for herself when she explained that she’d had a glass of wine before getting in the car to see Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina perform at Charlie’s. She admits to being terrified that she’d lose any chance of adopting baby Phoebe, if she called the police.
TO THE GATEHOUSE HE GOES
Chase is furious that Brook Lynn framed Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) for what she caused and did. With that, Chase leaves Brook Lynn in the dust and heads straight to the gatehouse door to see Willow!
Cut to: Brook Lynn devastated on the staircase of the Q mansion and her dad, Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth) sitting with his daughter to try to comfort her when she decrees her marriage is over.
Now in the pick-up, take a look at the General Hospital teaser video for today’s Wednesday, September 9, episode below.
So, what did you think of how Brook Lynn’s life just blew up in front of her? Does she deserve to have Chase walk out on her for what she did? Do you want Brook Lynn and Chase to work things out, or are you betting by the end of this week Chase and Willow will have hit the sheets? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
