GH Nurses’ Ball 2018 Part Three: Heartbreak, Revelations, A Surprise Guest!
On Friday’s episode of General Hospital, it was the third installment of the GH Nurses’ Ball 2018, which featured: three musical performances, a reveal to Jason (Steve Burton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) that Peter August (Wes Ramsey) is Henrik Faison, Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) water breaking as she is in a car with Peter, and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) trying to cope with overhearing that Finn (Michael Easton) has deep feelings for Anna (Finola Hughes).
During the festivities, Ned (Wally Kurth) and his wife, Olivia (Lisa LoCicero), take the stage and perform (What’s So Funny) Bout Peace, Love and Understanding, originally made famous by Elvis Costello. Later, in a tender performance Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Oscar (Garren Stitt) bring down the house performing, “I Never Knew” the most moving moment thus far at this year’s ball as Oscar’s parents, Kim (Tamara Braun) and Drew (Billy Miller) look on with pride.
While the performances are happening onstage, backstage the drama heats up after Finn admits to Anna that he has feelings for her and how he has never stopped thinking about her. Alexis overhears this whole confession to Anna.
Upset, Alexis heads out of the ball and past the stage, even though she was supposed to receive the Pioneer Award. She heads to the bar. Finn finds her, but Alexis would prefer to be alone. He leaves. Enter Julian (William deVry)! Will Julexis finally get back together, or will Alexis push Julian away? Elsewhere, Sam tells Jason about the lighter of Cesar Faison’s she found in Peter’s office and the P.K. Sinclair book. Jason realizes that Peter is Henrik. Meanwhile, Anna has texted Peter again to meet her. But Maxie. who is with Peter, tells him she wants him to take her home, because she isn’t feeling well. Later, her water breaks while driving in the car with Peter, and she urges him to pull over.

Onstage, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) performs “The Book of Love” by The Magnetic Fields, and after his stirring performance, he is in for the surprise of his life. When he turns around, Robert (Tristan Rogers) is there and punches the guy! Robin (Kimberly McCullough) is shocked to see her father! The episode ends on this cliffhanger.
So, which performance from part 3 of the Nurses’ Ball, did you enjoy the most? What do you think will happen next to Peter, Maxie, Alexis, Anna, and Robert? Comment below. But first, check out again the Nurses’ Ball performance byValentin Cassadine AKA James Patrick Stuart.
WOW
Hiiiiii, Timmmy,
I found you!!!!
Well, I would love for Robert to stay so he and Anna can rekindle their love….Maxie is iffy for me at this point…..however, it would be remiss of me not to mention, that after knowing the truth anout Peter, she will wake up and get her mojo back. ….do not like Peter and never will.
Alexis and Finn are great together—-spontaneous.
James P’s piano playing was flawless—the singing? Not so much….and Maura West cannot sing….
Sorry…love you Maura. Keep on acting…LOL.
See ya later, T….I hope?? ❤️
.
Celia, I think Ava is more of a performance artist, no? If so, she did a damn good job. But I was confused about the song choice. She told Griffin that song was for him which doesn’t quite make sense. I mean, Griffin never acted like he owned Ava. Maybe she means he doesn’t own her soul and he can’t make her pristine and perfect like he is? I know that’s reach but that’s all I can come up with. Also, she said she changed her song choice at the last minute. The back up dancers and musicians acted like they had been practicing this number for weeks.
Now if Kiki had sung this song to Dr McCreepy that would have made a lot more sense.
I thought the same thing, Harry….made no sense. That song applies more to an aggressive, controlling mate/partner.
Maura IS definitely a performer and she did have my attention….she simply can’t sing.
Yes!!!!!! Kiki should have performed that number. The perv needs a good dousing of hot sauce where the sun don’t shine, and then some……hmmmm
I did like all the dancers—and performers, albeit Bobbie stuck out like a sore thumb–and, I mean sore….
Ava is nothing if not self destructive. She’ll undermine her thing with Griffin until, oops, he’s in Kiki’s bed. Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy. Boy, Griffin sure forgot his “morality” faster than Father Ralph in THE THORN BIRDS.
“Oh Happy Day!” Celia has found me! I found you to honey! I was nervous about the switch, it took a couple days but it is here now and fabulous. Congrats Mr. Fairman and thank you for this avenue! Now onto the show! Wally has talent but as any American Idol judge would have said at one time or another, ‘Sorry dude, wrong song Choice!” Now James Patrick, another good song this year. He does exude talent! BUT, I couldnt have been happier to see Robert Freakin Scorpio punch that smirky “Most Feared” Cassadine ever in the jaw! Robert stole the moment right from Valentin. THAT was classic Scorpio, circa 1980 something! Love you C!
Robert Scorpio is cooler than the other side of the pillow.
I say put him on contract,give him a story line which doesn’t suck and then promote the hell out of him. That will boast GH’s ratings big time!
Favorite line today? Robert Scorpio arresting Parking Lot Peter saying, “Get going, you creep.”
Nobody makes an entrance like Agent Ck-8
Most Unholiest “performance” at the Nurses Ball this year!
Best part…Robert slugging Valentin…too much singing…what happened to comedy acts and enetertaining parts like when they done with the Wizard Of Oz…it just was too much American Idolish

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.
