GH Nurses’ Ball 2019 Part Four: Joss Sings For Oscar, Valentin Takes The Stage, Kevin In Dire ‘Straits’, Ava Waits For Ryan
The conclusion of the GH Nurses’ Ball 2019 episodes brought with it emotional moments and performances from the stage, and major drama with yet to come ramifications for several people of Port Charles.
After Ryan (Jon Lindstrom) knocked out Kevin and switched places with him, yet again, the serial killer is on the loose at the ball. Later, when Scott (Kin Shriner) is backstage and is upset about Ava’s (Maura West) relationship with Kevin, Scott comes face-to-face with “Kevin” and having enough, tries to grab Scott’s hand to stop him from leaving. But, lo and behold, off comes his prosthetic hand. Next, Ryan clubs Scott over the head, who now is the only person that saw Ryan at the ball.
Elsewhere, Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) confronts Willow (Katelyn MacMullan), after overhearing her conversation with Diane that she has a child, and he asks here if she was pregnant when she left “Dawn of Day”. She claims she miscarried their child, but he refuses to believe a word out of her mouth and becomes irate.

Michael (Chad Duell) saves Willow and warns Shiloh to stay away from her and his family. An out-of-sorts Shiloh heads back to his table where Sam (Kelly Monaco), Lucas (Ryan Carnes) and Brad (Parry Shen) are. Shiloh informs Sam that he just found out someone had his baby and deceived him. Lucas and Brad are both alarmed.
The first musical performance of the episode was Ned (Wally Kurth) and Olivia’s (Lisa LoCicero) rendition of Seals & Crofts classic, “Get Closer”. Wally Kurth and Lisa LoCicero remain one of the endearing duos on the show.
Meanwhile, the question. and of course. the big musical finale hinged on Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), and if she would perform the song she wrote with Oscar (Garren Stitt) at his request and in his honor. In the best scene of all the ball episodes this year, Sonny (Maurice Benard) finds a conflicted Joss outside the ballroom. She says she thought she was stronger and could do this, but she isn’t. An emotional Sonny shares with her how Oscar will always be with her, and be OK with whatever choice she makes. Sonny relates it back to Stone and his relationship with him while the young man was living and while he has been deceased. Maurice Benard and Eden McCoy delivered in this tender scene.

In the next musical number, Valentin Cassasdine (James Patrick Stuart) attempts to calm down a drunken Nina (Michelle Stafford), who is all out of sorts due to her hatred of Willow.(and perhaps her lust for Jax?), by taking to the stage to perform his number. This time, Stuart plays the piano and sings “Nothing without You” by Vienna Tang. And once again, Valentin wowed the audience, and James sang beautifully, as he has each year at the ball.
Still undecided if she can perform, Josslyn worries she’s letting everyone down. Jax (Ingo Rademacher) comes to see her and reassures her, saying she doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone, she just needs to follow her heart.
Finally, Josslyn makes the decision to perform, and that she does in the emotional high point of the episode. As she performs this song about the list of things she and Oscar were planning to do together before the young man died, and how she will carry it with her, she sees Oscar in the back of the ballroom in his tux singing with her and rooting her on. Kudos to Eden McCoy for being the heartbeat of this year’s ball, along with Lynn Herring, who the ‘ball’ would not be the ball without Lucy Coe,

As the Nurses’ Ball winds down, Shiloh is becoming unglued, and as Sam tries to calm him down, he tells her she needs to finish her initiation tonight. He says he needs her to be in the ‘trust’ and he needs her strength. Oh-oh! Will Sam go through with this to trap the guy, or are we going to witness a major backfire?
A massive light bulb has gone off in Lucas’ head and he tells Brad he believes Willow and Shiloh are Wylie’s birth parents. Brad doesn’t know what to say, and we all know why!
As Lucy is instructing the clean up crew to take everything down on the stage, the curtains open and Kevin is suspended in midair hoisted up, knocked out, and trapped in a straight-jacket! Everyone is horrified. Cut to Ava who is at her safe house preparing to kill Ryan all by herself. She gets everything in place, while she sips on some booze and waits for Ryan to arrive, and sure enough, we come to the cliffhanger. Ryan sees Ava from outside the widow. What will happen next?

So, what did you think of the final installment of this year’s Nurses Ball? What did you think of the performances from Joss, Valentin, and Ned and Olivia? Will Ava kill Ryan, or will someone else do it? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first,check out Josslyn’s AKA Eden McCoy’s performance below.

Let’s hang Shiloh and Peter next to Ryan!
No one stole the show this year. While Valentin has the best voice, his song choice was lame. Ned and Liv were okay. Joss was sweet but thats about it. Sonny and Jax handled her pre-show jitters perfectly!
Poor Scott gets hit by a wrench and gets accused of over drinking! The props dept supervisor should be fired! The fake arm was so lame! And, why was there a straight jacket back stage?
Willow snapped and the actress did a nice job tearing ShiLOW a new …hole!
Lets move on!
No doubt Ryan brought that with him. One of his spare’s perhaps?
NOT : before I have a time WITH Ryan, or is it Jon, I wanted Kevin edge
NOT : before it’s time
the tantalizing dark edge shiver me timbers allotted us
DRIVE !
“People”
this was saving my gh
I thought the actor that plays Shiloh stole the episode. He was truly scary in his encounter with Willow.
Wow Eden was great and I was so hoping that Oscar would show up and there he was. It made the whole ball. Most was disappointing with only 3 dress changes for Lucy, no closing Nurses singing, no Magic Milo but no guys left either. Ned always great, Valentin has great presence but not by far the best one. Hopefully next year they cam amp it up but again Eden you get props
hence , the BIG preview premiere of Harrison “Chase” Stud draw
the show lacked so much muster …. didn’t we all age along with this 4 eppi SENSATIONS
the amp laid bare
Valentin virtuoso went Missing… but not his piano and voice skill
I REALLY had to find a favorite… AND alas it went to the dismal Ned and Olivia… Olivia from the Bronx “can you really”
could we leave Franco alone for awhile… as he pinned himself in with Dr. Leisl ? “GUILTY” of good acting ; “GUILTY” of a good joke; “GUILTY” of too much ado about abstract
Sam AND Jason … dim
it was all so bad… there was no excitement AND whats to look forward with the younger set… of Joss and Cameron… lovesick puppydog attentiveness . sigh
there was not one leap of heart tug other than ONE PIC of Nina and Jax. here’s hoping that nuNINA Cynthia Watros FIRES UP Jax / Valentin/ Nina WITH Charlotte to once again lead of @General Hospital.. while all the rest of the Corinthos’ dullard dust off , thanks to Spinelli. and hit the front line again.
meh? for that arousal facto : for the WIN was watching Jon Lindstrom’ Kevin hanging from the rafters straight jacket no less
calling Dr. Neil

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.
