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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum’s Got Plans to Keep Brennan Out of His Way

Published

On General Hospital, the Wednesday, May 13 episode saw Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) plotting to keep Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) from ever being a problem for him again, as Lucas (Van Hansis) reveals his hopes for a plan to rid the world of Cullum and his co-conspirator, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) in one fell swoop.

At the hospital, Nina (Cynthia Watros) is still freaked out by what she did by jabbing Jack with the dose of medication meant for Drew (Cameron Mathison). Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) comes to the hospital to try to get her mother to get a grip and then heads out to do damage control.

Cullum arrives and questions Nina about Jack’s medical condition. Nina lies and tells Cullum he should talk to Dr. Lucas Jones about Jack. In a tense exchange, Cullum shows Lucas he has documents that make him Brennan’s medical proxy and wants an update on his condition. Britt stumbles upon the scene and comes up with a fake emergency in another patients room to pull Lucas away from the WSB director.

STARING MY BOYFRIEND’S KILLER IN THE FACE

Now alone in the hallway, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) warned Lucas that if he acts like that around Cullum, he will get suspicious. Lucas says they should just tell Sidwell that Cullum stabbed Marco, so Cullum will be killed and Sidwell would be sent to prison. Lucas drops the idea realizing if Cullum dies Britt cannot get her hands on her Huntington’s disease medication. However, Lucas warned Britt how everything would explode once Sidwell found out that Cullum killed Marco, so they have to be certain that they have the evidence that Cullum’s the culprit.

Inside Jack’s room, Cullum tells an unconscious Jack that his stroke may have saved his life, because he planned to kill him. Meanwhile, Willow arrived at Wyndemere to see Sidwell. She explains that Jack accidentally got the dose of Drew’s medication and kept her mother’s name out of it. Sidwell is livid.

TWO MEN HAD “STROKES” AT MY HOUSE!

Willow thinks it’s time to stop drugging Drew so that people would be focusing on his recovery, rather than the odds that two different men had “strokes’ at Drew’s house. Willow threw the responsibility back on Sidwell telling him that he needed to figure out a way to make sure Drew didn’t expose them. Next, Sidwell reminded Willow that he gives the orders around here and not her. For good measure, he threatens that if they were exposed, she would have the most to lose.

At the end of the episode, and at Wyndemere, Sidwell informed Cullum that Brennan had been dosed with Drew’s medication. When Sidwell declared that things would go from bad to worse when Brennan wakes up and out of his locked-in state, then Cullum fired back, “Then he can’t come out of it.”

Meanwhile, Willow unexpectedly shows up at Michael’s (Rory Gibson) office while Jacinda (Paige Herschell) is there.  She demands to talk to her ex-husband now, as the photo of Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow looking close snapped by the private eye is sitting on Michael’s desk.

So, do you think Sidwell should be the one to kill Cullum and then be carted off to prison … 0r, would you like to see Willow get caught for murdering someone since she got away with shooting Drew? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, check out the threatening exchange between Willow and Sidwell from today’s GH.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Rocco is Coming Apart at the Seams

Published

On the Tuesday, May 12 episode of General Hospital, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) was at its epicenter and the secret which is destroying him. Previously, Rocco shot WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) in the back to stop him from killing Jason (Steve Burton) and to save Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). 

However, the consequences of Rocco’s actions are weighing so heavy on him, that now he is starting to crack, and with good reason! While Rocco has been suffering in silence, he is wracked with guilt over Jason taking the fall for him, being carted away by the WSB, and worse yet, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) losing his father.

While Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) confronts “Nathan” (Ryan Paevey) about how he covered-up and “advised” Lulu (Alexa Havins) to stay quiet about the night on the pier which saw Rocco shoot Cullum, Dante can clearly see that the man in front of him seems off. His responses and demands and insights are not those of the good-natured “Nathan.” Will Dante be the one, or the last to know that “Nathan” is really Cassius Faison?

STAY AWAY FROM MY SON

In yet another confrontation, Lulu and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) go at it over Rocco. Lulu blames Britt for Rocco being on the pier at all that night, because Rocco cares about Britt, and she warned her not to get close to Rocco, but Britt did anyway.

Then, at the Quartermaine boathouse, Rocco was shocked to learn that Danny overheard Sonny saying that Jenz Sidwell was responsible for Jason getting taken away, and confided in Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) the intel several weeks ago. Rocco tried to cover his guilt as Danny and Charlotte explained they hadn’t confided in him because he has been so withdrawn lately.

ROCCO AND DANNY AT ODDS

Next, Danny asks Rocco to help him and Charlotte break into Wyndemere. Danny is determined to get info on Sidwell to try to find Jason. It’s at that point Rocco loses it. He shouts that Sidwell is a dangerous man and Danny needs to stay away from him.

In the most surprising turn of event, Rocco threatened both Charlotte and Danny that if they tried to sneak into Wyndemere he would turn them in.

Danny loses his cool and firmly tells Rocco, that unlike him, he didn’t have parents to clean up his problems for him and told Rocco to stay out of his way. As Rocco walked away, he asks Charlotte if she was coming with him. When she refuses, he tells the both to screw off.

THE ONLY PERSON I CAN TALK TO

Later, Britt returns to her room at Bobbie’s and finds Rocco waiting for her. He begins to share with her how freaked out he has been feeling over shooting Cullum. Britt hugs him and attempts to comfort Rocco letting him know he is a hero for saving her life and Jason’s. Britt tells Rocco she can talk to her anytime, as the two hug one more time. We fade to black.

Finn Carr delivered another excellent performance within his storyline. It’s clear GH made the right call by giving this young actor the ball with such a high stakes dramatic and emotional storyline to play.

So, do you think Danny will find out what Rocco did and come after him for letting his dad take the fall for shooting Cullum? Do you think Rocco will continue to turn to Britt, further upsetting Lulu? Will Dante get a clue about Cassius? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, in case you missed it, check out the emotional moments between Rocco and Britt on yesterday’s GH below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina is Frantic, Sonny is Mistrustful, Chase and Willow are Being Framed

The highly-anticipated Monday, May 11 episode of General Hospital picked right back up with the drama; which also sets the tone for today’s next installment of the ABC daytime drama series.

In another excellent performance by Daytime Emmy winner, Cynthia Watros, Nina is watching things unravel right before her eyes, and she is always playing defense to try to cover for the events that just transpired.

Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) ends up on the floor of Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) house unable to move after Nina injected him with the paralytic drug dose meant for Drew. Her intended target was Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), but during the Jack/Valentin Brawl, she struck the wrong guy! Valentin helps Nina turn Brennan on to his back and then makes his exit before anyone sees him as she calls the paramedics who rush Jack to GH.

MAN DOWN

In the meantime, Drew, who has overheard all the screaming in the other room, starts to have mobility in his hands and is trying to reach for the phone since his weekly dose went to Brennan instead of him. Now at the hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) has questions for Nina on how Jack ended up like this; which Nina claims one minute they were talking and all of sudden he dropped to the floor.

A panicked Nina calls Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), who went out for a run and ran into Chase (Josh Swickard). She tells her daughter using cryptic words that Jack got the dose of meds meant for Drew. Alarmed, Willow runs back to Drew’s, but not before having conversations with Chase about how she will help ensure he and Brook Lynn have the best chance at keeping baby Phoebe, after all, they had been through so much when she lost their baby.

SNAPS TELL ALL?

The moments of closeness between Willow and Chase are snapped by a photographer or someone hiding in the bushes as it seems like Michael’s plan to implicate Willow and Chase by making it look like their having an affair is underway. How far will this go?

Meanwhile, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) went at Lulu (Alexa Havins) for keeping him in the dark about Rocco (Finn Carr) being the person who shot Cullum and their elaborate cover-up. Things get worse when Lulu mentioned “Nathan” also knows and helped Rocco the night on the pier of the shooting. Dante is livid that as Rocco’s father, she felt he could not be trusted, and it was for him to figure out how he would navigate the information to protect their son; even if he is the police commissioner. Lulu also shared she did not want to tell him, because of what happened when Michael went to prison all those years ago.

BROTHER TO BROTHER

At Ava’s (Maura West) art gallery, Sonny (Maurice Benard) with gun in hand, rails at Ric (Rick Hearst) for lying and deceiving him. Ric confesses he was being dishonest, but not about anything to do with Sonny or the business. He shows Sonny the secret art transaction he was working with Ava. The reason is, he wanted to surprise Elizabeth with it as they have a special weekend planned. Ric explained that the sale had to be be done covertly because of a legal conflict involving the seller’s divorce. Eventually, Sonny lowers his gun. Cooler heads prevail and the two brothers hope there will come a time where Ric’s loyalty to Sonny will never be in question.

Carly (Laura Wright) learns what happened to Jack from Valentin, and feels badly for Jack. Valentin also tells her Jack does not know where Josslyn is and now that he is incapacitated that means that Cullum will take over the day to day of the WSB bureau in Port Charles and things are about to get worse.

In the final moments of the episode, Willow runs into Drew’s house and stops Drew from dialing the phone near his wheelchair. She scolds her husband and says, “Looks like no one can be trusted to keep an eye on you except me.” we fade to black.

So, what did you think of the performance of Cynthia Watros? How much longer can Nina and Willow get away with what they have done to Drew and now Brennan? Elizabeth already mentioned to Lucas, what are the odds that two men have the same medical issue at the same house.  Are you glad Willow and Chase are being framed, or annoyed by it? Weigh-in via the comment section.  In case you missed it, check out the scenes below with Sonny and Ric, and Ethan and Ava.
