In the second installment of the GH Nurses’ Ball 2018. the drama continues to see if Anna (Finola Hughes) will finally meet her son, Henrik and find out that he is actually Peter August (Wes Ramsey).

Inside the ballroom, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) takes to the stage as the emcee of the annual event. To kick-things off, she introduces the GH nurses, who begin their number by having the one and only Epiphany Johnson (Sonya Eddy_ front and center as she begins to belt out, Sly and the Family Stone’s classic hit, “Everyday People”. Nurse Johnson is joined on stage by Felix (Marc Anthony Samuel), Bobbie (Jackie Zeman), and Amy (Risa Dorken) and a bevy of dancing nurses!

The next musical number features Chase (Josh Swickard), who gets duped by his police partner, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), when he set him up to have to perform all alone! Little did Dante, and all the attendees know, that his cop can sing and dance. Chase performs the hit song “Feel It Still ” by Portugal: The Man and even his brother, Finn (Michael Easton) has to be proud of his brother, even though he wouldn’t say it.

Speaking of Finn, after not being able to shake seeing Anna’s last will and testament via a file Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) had in her bag that fell to the floor, he sees her make an exit to the backstage area and follows. However, Finn is now supposed to be on-stage introducing Alexis before her receiving the Pioneer Award.

Backstage, an emotional Finn corners Anna and says he knows she is dying and confesses thar he cares for her. Alexis overhears this having gone backstage to be introduced to accept the Pioneer Award since Molly (Haley Pullos) is now handling the intro duties. Finn thinks Anna has been pushing him away, because she is dying. Now, what will Alexis do after overhearing Finn’s concern and expression of caring about Anna?

Love was in the air when Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Nina (Michelle Stafford) performed a magic act, and when it came to asking for a volunteer in the audience, Curtis picked Jordan (Vinessa Antoine). Then, in the middle of a magic trick he replaces a coin with a diamond ring, and gets down on one knee and proposes to her! Jordan accepts, while Stella (Vernee Watson) looks on from the audience dismayed. In addition, Robin (Kimberly McCullough) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) share a quick tender moment about the meaning of the Nurses’ Ball, remembering Stone, and Robin gives Sonny her sympathy about Mike (Max Gail) battle with Alzheimer’s.

Elsewhere, Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) baby is kicking inside her tummy more than usual. She confesses to Peter, she misses Nathan. Sam (Kelly Monaco) also got a look of an exchange between Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Peter, which raised her suspicions. She exist to go to the Aurora offices and snoops around Peter’s desk and finds a lighter with the initial’s on it, “CF” – Cesar Faison. The episode ends on this cliffhanger.

So, what did you think of the performances of Josh Swickard and the opening number by Sonya Eddy and “Nurses”? Do you think Anna will finally admit her feelings for Finn to him? What will Alexis do? Has Sam now figured out that Peter is Henrik? Will something happened to Maxie’s baby now that its kicking and in overdrive?

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)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? 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

Published

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.
