GH Has Fireworks, Bombshells & A Summer Stunner: Watch Jonathan Jackson In Latest Promo With Tony Geary!
Courtesy/ABC
General Hospital is setting off it’s own set of fireworks just in time for this weekend’s fourth of July celebration!
In the new promo released this morning from ABC, looks like while Valerie (Brytni Sarpi) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) are locking lips, Luke (Anthony Geary) and Laura’s (Genie Francis) hunt for Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) seems to reveal some one shocking is behind their son’s kidnapping! But meanwhile, the promo shows a dramatic moment between Lucky and Luke for the first time in years, as played by long time scene partners, Jonathan Jackson and Tony Geary. Jackson is back for a short story arc to help wrap-up Luke and Geary’s final GH storyline.
Watch the latest promo from GH after the jump and then let us know … what do you think of Valerie and Dante’s passionate moment? Who do you think is behind this plot against Luke Spencer and his family? Comment below!

The best thing to happen with GH since Maura West took home the Outstanding Lead Actress Daytime Emmy this year? The return of Emma Samms! WTF took so damn long?!? She is, in a word, ESSENTIAL.
Someone should tell her she is not allowed to change her lines any more in the future.
Well, it appears that her “return” is short–like all the other “returns” of formerly loved characters. She tweeted about the revisionist history she laid out on Wed: “Big confession, re GH. Tony & I couldn’t remember the Bill/Holly thing so changed line. Not fault of @carlivatiron and @valentinifrank.” Very revealing tweet, indeed. Just appears to verify what we’ve been saying all along. Since when it is the ACTOR’S responsibility to remember the facts of the backstory? Where are TPTB/writers? And couldn’t they simply film another CORRECTED scene? Who’s minding the store? Just bring an actor in for a day, let… Read more »
Back in 1984, Laura and Luke announced to Robert and Holly, who were married to each other at the time, that they were expecting a child. Holly of course knew Luke was pregnant. This revision of history was started by Bob Guza who had Luke cheat on Laura with Holly and is being further revised by Ron C. At the time Ethan was conceived, Luke was head over heels in love with Laura–the sun rose and set in her eyes for him. I think Emma Samms is trying to be helpful–by all accounts she is a lovely person. But there… Read more »
Ahem. Of course everyone knows I meant to write that Laura was pregnant, not Luke.
I mean, I know Luke was a ground breaking character an all, but don’t think he played the first male antihero who becomes impregnated.
That apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree now does it Dante? What a jerk. He should have respected Lulu’s feelings about her new “cousin” enough to stay the heck away from her! But nope, in true jerk fashion, Dante is tossing his son and wife away for some ridiculous cheap trick. Obviously she wants Lulu’s life.
This seems to happen in all soaps. Revenge sex. Now that Dante thinks he has seen the proof of Lulu’s infidelity, he will run straight to Valerie’s bed. I hope he won’t. I hope he will rationalize and remember how much his wife loves him and Rocco. He should know better, right, Angela? I didn’t buy Valerie’s good girl act either. She was dying to jump his bones….one could sense it. Dante felt it too. He has had the feeling for a while. But, as you say, he will throw his life away for a cheap trick. ” The pen(is)… Read more »
I hate myself for predicting Vante…Dante better keep his sword away from Val…one bite with that mouth and she’ll Valchop it into tiny toothpicks which it probably is already…lol
Yeah, jimh. I already warned Dante, about those choppers, a few posts ago.
You are a naughty boy…LOL
Well,
It is Dante and Lulu’s turn for the break-up..
All couples must have their break up it is inevitable..
It surprising they went as long as did lol
I can do without Valerie.. It’s petty but, I don’t find her pleasing to look at .. lol
I like Dillon but not with Lulu..
I’d prefer him mixed in with Hayden and Nikolas..
And YOU are a naughty girl, CeeCee, although I truly appreciated your clever twist on that famous quote! However, while the sword may not prove so mighty in this case, I do share jimh’s—and your—-concerns about them “Val-Choppers!” Dante could be getting MUCH more than he bargained for with his kissin’ cousin-in-law…..especially if this too-willing chippy turns out to be of psycho-stalker breed. Oh my!!!! Having said that, this contrived little moral dilemma that Dante is about to step into big time is a truly unnecessary distraction from the marquee moments we are awaiting with Luke and Laura. I’m not… Read more »
Ha ha, Cee Cee. Val Chops was almost dry humping Dante the other day in the police station. She makes my neighbor’s horny, yellow, uncut male Labrador look pristine by comparison. Now Dante seems to have inherited his father’s brains which is not a good thing. Remember when Sonny was sure that AJ had killed Connie despite all the evidence to the contrary? He ignored all the signs, but mostly he demonstrated he had poor instincts. Dante knows Lulu better than anyone and he knows she would not cheat on him when there was nothing leading up to it. Again,… Read more »
I agree w/Angela,Harry & CeeCee, Dante should know better. Wait until he finds out the truth, he is going to feel sooooooo guilty and wrong. Don’t mention Maxie finding out [o’ my God]. Changing the subject a bit, does anybody think Sean Donnelly might be who kidnapped the “sons”?
@Virginia.
Hi, Virginia.
I wish I knew who Sean Donnelly was, LOL. Someone else will be better informed than I, since I am a newbie. The only thing that crossed my mind by the shock on everyone’s face is that the mystery kidnapper is the last person Luke, Laura, Holly and the rest expected to see. A friend? How about Lucky himself?
Has this been all a hoax? Oh, well….what do I know? Right?
I said the same thing. Jimh that is hilarious, i always say when you invite another woman to stay, its like the vampire rule. CeeCee I guess Dante didn’t listen. Now did they actually do it? He could at least not do it in their house. Take her to Metro and see what Carly would say or do.
Virginia…yes! I was going to suggest spSean Donnelly. If I remember correctly Luke wasn’t able to get him the antedote for his uranium poisoning, did he? Perhaps it’s some revenge…or he needs some of Luke’s blood? Although..not even sure if he didn’t receive the antedote…but if not he’d be dead already.
Always loved Sean…Tiffany, Robert, Holly days…would be great to have him back in any capacity.
im loving the chemistry between laura and holly,,,general hospital could have found gold with these 2,,could be a new thelma and louise arc,,,,but like most soap writers these days ,,theylll miss this golden opertunity…and we will go back to the very boreing mob stories that are forced opon us,,,
yup, that would be awesome! very tired of the mob.
The ” mob” is all talk no action in Port Charles these past few months. Sonny, or Julian, for that matter, don’t seem to have any enemies but for each other. Now, Julian is supposedly out…once again. Years back, there used to be other crime families, meetings…we had the really sexy Alcazar, Jerry…criminal, not mob. Now? Not too much…
glad for some closure for luke before he leaves, his two sons and holly. scorpio would be nice. LOVE THAT NAXIE IS IN THE PROMO, wish dante could slow down, this will have a ripple effect. summer is looking HOT in port charles!!
Great pun, sharon….’HOT SUMMER’.
GH is really a mess right now, sad to say. Each day feels pasted together and many of the casting and story choices are not working. Valerie is a perfect example; she needs to exit as does Denise Too Much IO along with nuKiki, Nathan, Nina, and Franco.
maybe you should quit watching for a while as you don’t like anything. I love it all. Franco is the best and adds so much laughter to the show.
Roger Howarth… had me laughing out loud
wasn’t he the best… when he and Denise started kissing
with onlookers… Nina, Morgan, Carly, ….
the KISSing stops , franco lets loose
LOL
he turns… camera pans
his mouth is covered in slopped up lipstick and he’s chewing her gum New Jersey style
LOL
CLASSIC
Roger Howarth is a blast-loved when Franco mimicked Denise and her New York accent-and how they were all over each other at the Metro Court-the red lipstick all over Franco’s cheeks. So funny (and cheap). Maura and Roger are hysterical. I agree with Tony on nuKiki-ugh. As much as I could not stand Kristen Alderson as Starr or Kiki-I can’t stand nuKiki either. The character is just plain dumb and serves no purpose to the canvas. Nina-the way that Michelle Stafford (who I think is very talented) portrays her is like that of a little girl-very immature. Nina’s best scenes… Read more »
“Pasted together” is an excellent way of putting it, Tony! This show has been such an awkward hodgepodge of far-flung scenarios that it has been impossible to watch an entire torturous episode all the way through. I’ve pretty much just been focusing on L&L’s (up-until-now-not-so) “excellent adventure” even though thus far, it has seemed to be more an afterthought than the premiere storyline of the summer! However, yesterday it finally appeared that perhaps we’re getting this show on the road! The Laura and Holly stuff was surprisingly satisfying, and it’s really anybody’s guess who shall be revealed as Lucky and… Read more »
Gee, Shay. I wish I could contribute something crucially important in solving this mystery. Alas, I have nothing! No backstory to BACK me up? LOL. However I, also, agree with the ‘pasted together’ concept. I am tired of Denise, I am tired of Sonny getting away with murder, once again. I am particularly seething over the fact that Michael gave up custody of Avery because of a word from the wise, Sabrina? I like her , but too much credit has been given to one who is practically a stranger and not part of the family. Leave it up to… Read more »
I love the idea of it being Sly, Shay.
I have a weird feeling (is there any other kind?) that Jackie Templeton will be making an appearance.
@Harry….That would make it interesting, eh? I’m just hoping the big reveal of the culprit’s identity is a real shocker…it’s about time Cartini did something truly surprising. If not now, I ask you, when???? (Oh, how about Janine Turner as “The Other Laura?” I’d love to see BOTH Templetons!) Orrr, if the show runners really want to spring someone unexpected on us, “Blackie”—NOT “Whitey”–Parrish would certainly not go amiss in that category. However, something tells me that shall not be happening…LOL. (But perhaps sometime he could be driving through Port Chuck and make an unplanned detour to the PCPD for… Read more »
Hiyaa, Shay, I hope your festivities went well, also. I love this country of ours. I visited many places, Shay….no other country even comes close. No, Jude and I never went to school together…he was ALWAYS ahead of me. Four years….His parents also have a home on MV….he and my brothers were and still are friends. My husband did not really like me, as a kid……Teased me a lot, just as my brothers did. He sang a different song as I grew….LOL. I went to boarding school in Connecticut. He in Massachusetts . But, we both attended University in Boston….including… Read more »
Awwwww, Tonyyyy…..no way, no!!!! Not Nina, not Franco, not Nathan; they stay…love them….but, yes, bring back AVA; somehow.
Yes, CeeCee…the Denise act is wearing mighty thin! Whilst highly amusing, it is now crossing into annoyance territory, and really, how can this farce continue much longer? Sonny has Ava’s number….he’s knows she is not Ms. DeMuccio and has been just lying in wait to prove it. Having the adorable Avery back in his abode will be the ultimate trap for Ava…she will not be able to resist the lure of her precious daughter! As for Sappy, you already know full well my opinion of this social-climbing senorita (Now there is the appropriate application of “El Espanol!”…LOL!) As soon as… Read more »
@Shay. LOL, Shay…we’re off to the beach, ourselves……yup, my baby is wearing a bikini…wish you could see all that sweet cuteness….chubby legs and all. Nonna is my husband’s grandmother. I have a Gran and a Nanna…but I will say hi to Jude’s grandmother for you…LOL. Or, did you mean my mother-in-law? You’re right, I paesani, Frank and Ron should do their homework. So, you also see the change in Sam? I am getting warmer and warmer toward her, each passing day. I hope she can maintain her spunk. When she shows that somewhat feisty side of her, I cheer her… Read more »
@Shay…
YES!!! Happy 4th, my friend.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ONE AND ALL. I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.
LONG LIVE THE USA AND OUR DEMOCRACY.
Sorry for the confusion, CeeCee!….I meant your mother-in-law, since we were discussing how Cartini gave her “agita” over their less than respectful use of the Italian language….I guess I chose the term “Nonna” because she is, in fact, a grandmother….to your cherubs, but what a fine family tree you have with all those strong and wise matriarchs! Your Scottish gran sounds particularly wonderful….just the sort of lady with whom one would love to take tea! At any rate, send my warmest regards to all concerned, or perhaps only those who may have heard of your MFSoaps “bestie,” “Shay!” LOL. As… Read more »
@Shay. Awwww, Shay…too bad you’ll be off line. I think I am addicted to these sites…LOL. no matter what I am doing, I will take a minute here and there and check ‘things’ out. Yes, Marcella, my mother-in-law does get “acido” reflux when it comes to anything Italian. Oh, yes, Laura is a babe. I am such a fan. Sometimes we, inexplicably, take to an actor/actress or someone we just meet. Look at us, Shay. We hit it off instantly. By the same token, I sometimes swing from disliking a character to completely loving him/her. The best example is Ava.… Read more »
@CeeCee….I’m back!!! Just needed a few days off to refresh and recharge! (But I did look in to see what was happening here….only I didn’t post until late last night!) At any rate, I hope you enjoyed a super Vineyard holiday weekend with your family….sounds like a lovely tradition, and the background story with your husband is simply too cute! (I don’t know why, but I always had the notion you two met during your prep school days….) Yes, there are those with whom we immediately strike an initial “like,” both in real life and online…..quite an interesting phenomenon how… Read more »
@CeeCee….It’s my pleasure to respond….sometimes more rapidly than others, but it’s always a treat to trade thoughts with you! I was actually waylaid by a computer dilemma…..sometimes my Norton won’t cooperate when there’s a huge update concerned, and at some point, I have to solely address that before I can get back to the “fun stuff,” which is what happened over the long Fourth weekend. I knew it would take me awhile, which is why I forewarned you of my absence. Thankfully, in the wee hours of our nation’s 239th birthday, I finally nailed it, but after spending four consecutive… Read more »
I will miss Tony Geary. I was born in 1980, so my first memories of Tony were as Bill Eckert. Bill was not my favorite character and at the time, I did not realize the magnitude of Tony or the history of Luke and Laura. I have watched some clips on YouTube. I did watch Luke and Laura in the 90’s when they returned to Port Charles with Lucky. My favorite scenes of Tony’s have always been with Jane Elliot. I loved their scenes in Vegas with Ethan and Maya. I loved when he bought her Skittles, the pony. They… Read more »
You’re right about the friendships, dmr. There really is no interaction between characters. They stay in their couple, or they talk to one person they run into at the diner or the hospital. That’s so integral to what’s missing…family and friendship. Bobby used to own the brownstone…not sure what years those were…and people either lived there or came and went all the time. People used to go to dinner together, meet at Rubys, storm in and out of the Q’s. Lois, Ned, Brenda, Sonny…Ned, Alexis, Jax . Scorpio, Shawn, Tiffany, Holly…on and on and on. Different show/ feel. As they… Read more »
Have you watched the Luke, Laura, Scotty, Bobbie, and Ruby years (1978-1981; 1983) on youtube? Not just a few clips but entire stories? Some fabulous stuff. No soap was doing what GH was doing back then! Must see TV. And I mean that. Though VHS/VCR’s were around then, most people didn’t have them at this time. So people stopped EVERYTHING to watch GH. It was amazing!
ppage: Yes, I watch a lot of old clips on YouTube. Remember way back when-“cliff-hanger Fridays?” haha
ppage, I watch it all the time and marvel and laugh and cry and experience again the wonderment of it all.
Then I come back to the current GH and #$?!!!^&*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ahhh looking good..
I knew RC, FV and team would turn it up !
Tony will have an exit befitting him 🙂
It’s bitter sweet–
looking forward to Tony’s exit story but not looking forward to losing him ..
Ok, loving the promo. Jonathan Jackson looks so HAWT! All I can say is, I hope GH does Anthony Geary Proud, bring it!.
He’s great on Nashville. He’s really in his element on that show…playing music and acting. IT was very easy to transition from Lucky to his character, Avery. Oh, and he looks great on that show too!
wow!
Jonathan Jackson and Tony Geary= power power performance, to come..
It doesn’t get any better than having two exceptional actors playing off each other..
Sooooo looking forward to Jonathan Jackson and Tony Geary bringing it home!!
Those two are and always have been screen magic!
I’ll hide and watch. If it’s like all the other returns–zzzzzzzzzz. I’d just as soon go back and watch the earlier scenes on Youtube.
Well. Su…for me? Jonathan/Lucky doesn’t have to do a thing. I will just sit there wide-eyed, agape, enraptured while taking in all that beatudiness. He’s a wonder among wonders. Yeah!!!!
I never can follow any storyline on NASHVILLE because Jonathan ‘sends me’….LOL
And you know also “Jonathan Jackson and Tony Geary=power power performance, to come”–where’d you get that crystal ball???????????
Nancy, I think just putting Jonathan Jackson together with Tony will be emotionally powerful for those of us who watched the two of them since Jonathan was a little boy and Tony had his own hair…. 😉 Sad to think they, and their wonderful relationship, are forever gone from the show.
Get ready for it Baby Jake is alive and kicking! Thank you RC for correcting one of the worst tragedies ever created !
Jake, Elizabeth’s son with Jason?? How would that be possible?? Where has he been?? And what plot would that serve?? Hmmmm…..
Well, Helena does spring to mind. Remember she’s the one who held Jason and made Robin bring him back to life along with Stavros. And, Helena is also known for driving Liz insane.
Sheer gossip but we brought everybody else back from the dead and remember Liz never got to see the body you know that was when Guza & Phelps thought it would be cool to get rid of Liz a character from a legacy family and white wash the character Sam who had only been with the show since 2004. This great love everybody proclaims with Jason and Sam geeze I thought he threatened to kill her for what she did concerning Baby Jake getting kidnapped. I hate what RC is doing to Liz but I am not a fan of… Read more »
K/Kay…I don’t remember Jason threatening to kill Sam…but I DO remember not too long ago Sonny threatened to kill Carly if Olivia died. Seems love is stronger than death threats! And mother/daughter relationships are stronger than a little thing like sleeping with your mother’s husband, ie Sam/Rick, Carly/Tony. Or, your ex wife’s mother…Morgan! Sigh. I’ve always been a Sam fan, though. And, I like the way she dresses though a few don’t. It’s who she is…a tough chick with a heart of gold and a slammin’ body. She’s rough around the edges, not prissy like Lulu and Maxi, both whom… Read more »
I am not a fan of Sam either, Kay…I have said that often enough. But, she has come a long way in the year I’ve been watching. Today was actually the first time I witnessed actual feelings from her. She has a voice.LOL. We shall see if she continues in this vein. Now, all she needs to do is shed the “uniform”.
Poor Liz…so disappointed. I am not liking her as the baddie.
what does Ethan say to Luke in the promo??
I can’t wait to c Liz face when she sees lucky!!!!!
I didn’t like Valarie the first day she was on the show. She served her purpose by ushering in Pat, Luke and Bobbie’s sister. Now Pat has died, Val needs to step it on down the road. Lulu and Dante have a good marriage. I hope that the bed-hopping Lizzie isn’t pregnant but I’m sure it isn’t for her trying and I hope that when Lucky leaves she will ride off into the sunset with him. Jason belongs with Sam and Jake/Jason and Sam do have some chemistry brewing. Patrick, who has just about as much personality as Silas, is… Read more »
Nikolas… brought chills… steamy… and manned to the gills
wow… as he’s deriding Rosalie… to go to the police station and recant her statement
“CLEAR MY NAME”
—————-
so agree, about Val… she ushered in sister, Pat… and that should have been it
if anything seems forced so fast… it’s Dante “attraction”
Emmi Rylan’ acting as Lulu doesn’t make me scream out … that either or do not deserve this…. as i”ve always said… Dante carries a big part of Sonny pie on GH.
even i’ll soapbox… this couple truly do love each other
Hi, Patrick. I hope that by ‘manned’ you mean ‘armed’, as in ammunition; and, not as a man of honor and integrity. Nikolas’s actions are despicable. A real man uses no subterfuge and respects that which is not his. You are right, Patrick…..Nikolas does give me chills…..the disgusting kind; the eerie kind; the stay-away kind !! He feels entitled because he is a prince, part of a monarchy that is in exile……LOL. The gall, right, Patrick? Commanding Rosalie to recant proves what a complete jerk he is. He has RAT written all over him. He is preaching altruism by announcing… Read more »
Patrick…I’m getting the feeling you’re liking the bad boy in Nicolas. He has joined the ranks with Julian and Sonny. Capable of great love, loyalty…devoted father…but ruthless. I could ALMOST buy his despicable takeover of ELQ (I’m routing for Michael to get it back) …but unless he’s being controlled or had a latent killer Cassadine gene that just broke loose (either naturally or via Helena), there’s no coming back from putting a hit out on Hayden.
Okay, so Holly says she didn’t know Luke was married – but she was in PC when Laura returned and left PC with Luke – she was there when Laura announced her pregnancy. And Holly didn’t know Bill Eckert? Uh, she was sleeping with him and he was the main reason she left PC the second time around. What’s baffling is that there was no point to these rewrites. And they have to be rewrites – if RC did it by mistake, Emma and Tony and Genie would have brought it to his attention. So, it had to be done… Read more »
Emma Samms responded to this on Twitter today. She said she and TG completely forgot and that’s why they went with the wording the way we saw it. Mistakes happen it’s not the end of the world
hey Mike,,
Holly does know Bill..
yah gotta read the tweets they interact with the soap..
Ron Carlivati @carlivatiron 8h8 hours ago
Also, Holly & Robert are still together OC. In the outline, she said he was in the field & couldn’t be reached. Line was cut in script. #GH

Today’s script made clear Holly knew Bill. Don’t know why the line was changed.
there ya go ^^^^ not RC’s fault it was cut..
@Mike: I just finished watching Tuesday’s episode and I couldn’t believe all of the continuity errors! Holly was with Robert in the lobby of Mariah’s B&B in Texas when Luke & Laura yelled from their room that they were pregnant. Now, I could justify Holly saying to Laura “Luke didn’t say you and he were still together, and I didn’t ask him” but I can’t justify the idea she didn’t know they were pregnant back in the mid 80’s. And while I didn’t watch much of the show when Bill Eckert was on, I was pretty sure he was involved… Read more »
Another terrible attempt to rewrite history. Originally, I had thought that Ethan was older than Lucky and was conceived during the time that Laura was kidnapped and living with the Cassadines, when Nikolas was conceived-before she returned to Port Charles and Luke saw her at the Governor’s or Mayor’s Mansion (I can’t remember)-when Luke yelled “Laura!” I thought it was later written that both Luke and Laura had other children during THAT time they were apart. I didn’t realize it was while Luke was married to Laura and they had already had Lucky-that he was unfaithful. It doesn’t make any… Read more »
I’m VERY VERY DISGUSTED and SICKENED with the writers putting Dante and Valerie’s lips together!! Out of ALL the couples on GH Dante and Lulu are the POWER couple!! Dante has been head over heels in love with Lulu since the day he laid eyes on her and EVERYONE who watches GH knows it, so why in the hell would they put a story line so UNbelieveable? If he REALLY thought Lulu was doing it with Dillion (which we ALL know he wouldn’t think that), Dante woulda went straight to Lulu to find out what’s going on!! AND he wouldn’t… Read more »
Yep
Why, you ask, Dottie? Because “Beelzebub has a devil (the writers) put aside for” us, ( Queen… My Beautiful Freddie) to put a wedge in anyone’s happiness.
This is the one couple who brought a modicum of harmony to PC. I am still hopeful Dante will not give Valerie a taste of what God gave him. Even if it is only the size of a toothpick (that one’s for you, jimh)…. LOL
I am also hoping (against hope) that Dante resists the mighty mating call of the “Val-debeast,” but when one mixes alcohol, fireworks and a bed at-the-ready, things certainly don’t look very good on the “fidelity front,” do they?
Dottie, its a soap and couple cannot remain happy or they would be Mac and Felicia and they are off canvas. Dumbte is the worst! For a detective he comes to the conclusion that a t-shirt means his wife cheated on him? That shows he is either stupid or has no faith in Lulu!
That just about sums it up, Timmm. I said the same thing. Let us hope, at least, that Sam and Jake reunite. I came a long way to arrive at this conclusion. I am finally appreciating Ms Monaco. But, Lizzie broke my heart. I loved her. Schemers and I do not do well together. As I said in another thread, Jake and Sam will work together as sleuths and get to the truth. They will fall in love all over again. When Sam realizes who Jake really is, she will run , slo mo, into his outstretched arms….her hair tossed… Read more »
Timmm…I don’t think the t-shirt did it. I think Valerie’s accurate recounting that Dillon and Lulu were in an embrace and shared a secret they didn’t want him to know, Dante following her to the Q’s and seeing a shirtless, toweled Dilon answer the door, hearing Lulu say I love you to someone on the phone and quickly hanging up, telling him..out of the blue, she’s flying to Italy because Leslie’s sick…him finding out she’s not in Europe but in a hotel room with Dillon…might, lol, lead him to the conclusion he’s jumped to. Who, in real life, wouldn’t? I… Read more »
Pretty exciting! Love Jonathan Jackson and Holly .looking forward to ‘ll the excitement
The Dante storyline line is rushed. Not believable. Dante would have trusted Lulu and know that there was trouble. Especially with the way her family is. He would investigate not cheat. Why can’t we believe in a hero, a knight, instead of a doubter/cheater. Loving “prince Nic” right now. For whatever the reason, his universe has changed and he feels entitled. Very uncharacteristic, and curious to see how this plays out. Franco, just plain O’l cracks me up. Although, I wish this Prospect Park issue would go away and bring back Todd, and Starr. I’ve watched old clips of Michael… Read more »
I can’t believe that Dante and Valerie are doing this, and to hear Dante say he doesn’t care. What happened to his great love for Lulu. You should NEVER let another woman live in your home with you and your husband. Scandalous. The first thought is always to do the same thing you think your spouse is doing. But Dante and Lulu would usually talk things out before making assumptions. I guess that has now changed. So disgusted that they would do this, so shocked at Dante but we don’t know much about Valerie this may have been her plan… Read more »
Yesterday Dante told Valerie that there was something between them.
I could have sworn the two of them glanced down when he uttered those ill chosen words.
Valerie is a little snake who has been slithering her way into Dante’s arms and he has been too stupid all this time to detect her motives. She needs to stay away from Dante and Lulu.
Dante is going to screw Val in his home with Lulu.? I like JJ and NP but. How long has the kidnapper had them, they both look like a shower and a hair cut would be in order. JJ’s hair is soo long. Re-Ron said the actors got it wrong, we all know he knows it all and never makes mistakes. Holly had a fling with Bill, why who cares. .It was great to see Holly and Laura together when Luke left. The only actual part I watched. I use to like Holly all the evil the last IIC did… Read more »
You could see it coming from a mile away that events would play out this way between Dante and Valerie. Not only don’t I like the plot twist I don’t like Valerie. Her portrayer is not a good actress and I think she’s unattractive.
And she has a flat personality. I can’t get into Valerie. I think she’s a tease, too. She is well aware that Dante is attracted to her ( God only knows why?). If Valerie were as decent as she would like us to believe, then she should get out of Dodge; to avoid friction. Dante? Luke should just beat him up. LOL. I don’t know…..I could never understand this, because it does happen in real life, also…..that is, I would think that if one suspects his/her spouse is cheating, he/she would want solitude and not in the mood to see… Read more »
The writers are at it once again, wiping out the old and rewriting new history, (absurd as that sounds) deconstructing or completely negating a character’s integrity- in this case Dante (as well as Nikolas). When Lulu lost her memory and left Dante to be “magic Milo”, Dante didn’t cheat on her. He stayed true to his character, faithful/loyal, honest , direct, patient,understanding and above all loving. Now the tptb want us to believe that detective Falconeri cannot even detect what Valerie is up to. and doesn’t for a second question her integrity, intention or motive as to why she would… Read more »
Bohemien, the writers are doing what soap writers do.. Soap writing 101- ALL couples must have their break up– it is soap drama, a cornerstone of the soaps; no happy ever afters.. Break up to get people all emotional over it, as yourself.. That is the way it supposed to be.. They will eventual get back together.. Some soap couples break up many times are remarry 5 times ah ha!! Nik is a Cassidine, shocking yes! lol .. I love the ”Cassadine” Nikolas, it’s the best thing that has happened to the Nik character!! 🙂 No Cassidine is ” true… Read more »
Once again you are trying to teach people like myself, old timers,who have been watching some if not all ABC and other network soaps from their inceptions. I usually fast-forward when i see your posts, but since I got your reply in my email without knowing who it was from (though I had a strong idea ) I decided to come aboard to confirm it.

“Writing 101” means not violating characters and their motivation–not complicated, very simple–but not when you have a different agenda and are a lazy PTB.
Bohemien..
hold some class..
Never ever attack a fellow poster, that is not cool..
Never ever get heckling, mean, personal with another person..
I am sorry you have anger issues, take care dear..
(I am happy I am not a grumpy ol’timer and that I do not carry around 40 years of old soap bagge because I love ALL of GH, it rocks!!
I can have a good time watching 🙂
THE WRITERS DON’T RESPECT HISTORY OF GH AT ALL.
Soooo how’s breaking up all these couples or keeping them apart working for these remaining soaps? Maybe that’s what’s wrong with the soaps today. They sure don’t have that love in the afternoon thing going for them anymore. That’s what got me started on soaps and the reason I hardly watch anymore.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Helena, Jennifer Smith & The Ice Princess: What Did You Think of Luke Spencer’s Memorial?
Friday’s episode of General Hospital brought the highly-anticipated story around the apparent death of Port Charles iconic, Luke Spencer (Tony Geary), although many fans, and even some of the cast of the show, are not sold that Luke is “dead” dead.
During the show, characters spoke of some of the history of Luke in Port Charles, most especially Luke’s sister, Bobbie played by Jackie Zeman. Throughout the years, Zeman is at her best when she is given material through the writing of the show to connect to the history of Luke and Bobbie. She did so when Bobbie was remembering how Luke came to Port Charles to help her break up Scotty and Laura, in a discussion with her daughter, Carly (Laura Wright).

As everyone is gathering at the Haunted Star to pay their respects to Luke, Curtis (Donnell Turner) arrives to support Laura (Genie Francis), Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Anna (Finola Hughes) arrive together, Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) and Ava (Maura West), as well as Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez also show up. It is through Nikolas’ conversation with Laura that we learn why Luke’s sons, Ethan and Lucky, can’t make the funeral and, of course, we know why Luke’s daughter Lulu can’t make it because she is in a coma!
Victor (Charles Shaughnessy) shows up and snipes at everyone and then leaves. Tracy (Jane Elliot), who has arranged the memorial, is with an urn supposedly filled with Luke’s ashes and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) finds her on the deck of the Haunted Star and talks her into giving her planned eulogy.

Meanwhile, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) finds his dad, Sonny (Maurice Benard) drinking at Charlie’s, and later Scott (Kin Shriner) and Robert (Tristan Rogers) stop in and heated words are exchanged between Sonny and Scott. Victor shows up and instead of Scott and Sonny pummeling each other, they get into a fight against Victor.

As Scott and Robert are about to be on their way to the Haunted Star, Scott stays behind because of his past with Luke. Then, Sonny tried to patch things up with Carly before they head to the memorial.
Back on the yacht, Anna and Felicia find a note and a flash drive, after hearing a commotion on the yacht. When the note says “play me”, none other than Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) addresses Luke’s friends and family from apparently the great beyond. As Helena spews her venom against Luke, Laura has enough and pulls the plug on Helena’s video speech. Tracy looks concerned, like she may want to hear whatever else Helena had to say.

Next, Tracy does her best in short order to eulogize Luke. That is juxtaposed with Scott trashing Luke. Later, by herself on the deck, Tracy spreads Luke’s ashes over the waters of Port Charles. Back on the pier, Scott relishes Luke being gone, and that he is still standing saying, “You lose you son of a bitch!” Just then Luke’s ashes blow in into his face. When Bobbie arrives, and see Scott full of ashes, she asks what happened. Scott says, “I caught the bouquet,” an obvious nod to the Luke and Laura wedding of the past, where Scott returned at their wedding and caught the wedding bouquet.

Back on the Haunted Star, Tracy then has a gift in hand for Laura, but she tells Tracy if that’s the Ice Princess she does not want anything to do with it, and tells Tracy to keep it. Spencer sees this go down and his interest on the diamond is instantly piqued.
Back at Charlie’s bar, Victor has an ominous toast to Luke saying, “The good people of your fair city are in for a big surprise!”
At the Haunted Star, dressed in black with black veil, Jennifer Smith reveals herself to a shocked Laura.
So, what did you think of Luke’s memorial episode? Favorite parts of it? Least favorite? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, check out Helena’s videotaped speech and Tracy’s eulogy to Luke below.
