GH Nurses’ Ball 2020 Concludes: Nelle and Julian Face-Off and the Nurses Perform the Finale

Let’s just get some things straight right at the top, Lynn Herring as Lucy Coe will also be the best part of the Nurses’ Ball.  Whether you have seen the same antics over and over again, it wouldn’t be the staple event without her sincerity, panic attacks, hilarious moments and hamming it up, playing in-front of the camera (as it was this year for the telethon-version) or in front of the attendees as in past years.

In addition, two performances came out of the annual event in its pared-down version as our favorites:  William Lipton’s (Cameron)original song “The Places We Could Go” performed with Sydney Mikayla (Trina) and Eden McCoy (Joss), and as we mentioned in our recap yesterday, James Patrick Stuart’s performance as Valentin sings his heart out.

Now on to the action on Friday’s GH as the ball came to a close:  Nelle (Chloe Lanier) has left the ball after slitting the throat of Brook Lynn (Briana Lane).  Meanwhile back at the Q’s, Julian (William deVry) has grabbed Wiley after chloroforming Monica (Leslie Charleson), and sends Nelle a text that the job is done.  She goes to meet him,

Dustin (Mark Lawson) and Lulu (Emme Rylan) find Brook Lynn backstage and she is rushed to the hospital.  Something tells us with a throat injury if she wakes up, she won’t be able to talk, therefore not being able to tell the authorities of Nelle’s plot.

Robert (Tristan Rogers) has great news for Olivia (Lisa LoCicero), who is bickering with hubby Ned (Wally Kurth).  He has located Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) for her and has away to sneak her in to see her son, but they must leave tomorrow morning for Geneva, and he has to go with her to ensure there are no problems.  She is overjoyed and Ned is jealous that he cannot go and that Robert is.

Tying the ball together with its original intent, Anna (Finola Hughes) addresses the TV and digital audience by telling them how the ball started and about her daughter, Robin living with HIV, and as had been the theme throughout this year’s ball episodes – continuing to thank the frontline workers for all they do to save our lives – a nod to their work during the coronavirus pandemic.

Liz (Rebecca Herbst) tells Franco (Roger Howarth) that all this flirting that is going down is just Ava (Maura West) and Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) trying to use them as pawns! Remember, she overheard Ava tell Nina (Cynthia Watros) that if Nik cheats, she will receive a hefty pay day.

Michael (Chad Duell) and Willow(Katelyn MacMullen) leave the ball and their phone duties early to be with Wylie.  When they arrive home, they see Monica passed out and not knowing what happened to her, while Willow tells Michael, Wylie is MIA.

The final number of the ball is performed by GH Nurses Deanna (Dioni Michelle Collins), Amy (Risa Dorken), Madison (Madison Malone), and Epiphany (Sonya Eddy) as they sing “Falling”-   a song written by Madison Malone – as they sing its message, the citizens of Port Charles exit their posts on the phones as couples leave with each other, while others are alone, yes, we mean, Valentin!

Now on the docks waiting to meet Nelle, Julian has a flashback of Ava telling her brother; he will never get from out from under the thumb of Nelle and her blackmail if he doesn’t get rid of her.  Soooo … when he meets up with Nelle on the docks, he pulls a gun on her!

What did you think of the conclusion of the Nurses’ Ball?  What do you hope happens to Nelle and Julian next?  Did you have a favorite performance this year? Comment below, but first re-watch the closing number.

My favorite performance was definitely the teens. William Lipton does an amazing job writing and performing a song each year. Very talented. I kept wondering, though, where Dev (?) was. Did he start the private school after all?

Wasn’t crazy about the closing number. Sorry.

A lot happened at the Nurses Ball Telethon and since new episodes started airing. I can’t help but wonder if they aren’t speeding things along to make up for the lost months and get the stories where they should have been at this time.

Congrats GH great job given the restrictions!!! Sorry the Chase performance was cut, he was so good last year! Loved Ava & Nic. Performance wise loved them all accept Ned & Olivia; he’s a singer that’s more fitting for GH of old..only thing that would have made it better would have been if they made it a real fundraiser. Kudos to writers & production team!

I am sure the performers did their best.Lucy is the most tiresome person ever and always, on stage or off. I think Brook Lynn’s face was slashed or her vocal cords and she may not be able to sing again.Nelle being like a cockroach, never dies. She’ll survive Iam sure. I think Julian will go to Sonny and fess-up as a last resort to save his butt.Who thinks that Monica as a Dr.should have been able to tell she was drugged and didn’t just fall asleep. I sure wouldn’t have left my child with that old woman, poor thing can hardly walk. Iam sure Nick and Ava will end up in bed, it’s just a matter of time. Sorry to the Liz lovers, but to me she’s a royal pain.she’d drive any man crazy, poor Franco! Lastly, has anyone noticed nurse Amy’s weight loss? She looked really good, good for her!

That “old woman” is a doctor. She’s the most capable of all of them if there was a medical emergency. There was no reason to think there’d be any violence or break-ins. Wouldn’t have mattered who was babysitting; Julian came up from behind and drugged her. Could have done the same to anyone.

Love Lucy!

rebecca1…Agree with you, and notice too many of these kind of negative comments towards characters and actors happening lately.

Rose, I hope all is well with you. I have my favorites, of which you are one! If I recall correctly, you were doing part-time at a bookstore (and Rebecca was/is in publishing, I believe). Well, until the shutdown, I was always fond of saying that although my name is Reed, I could count on one hand how many books I’ve actually read. That can be said no longer. After bingeing a half-year of episodes, I must confess that I found books. Nothing to improve the intellect, mind you, but it’s a start (Baldacci, Coben, Connelly, Sandford, and John Hart—really like his). Doing the “drive-thru” at the local library. Much like my revelation, I can only hope the lockdown had GH attract new and old viewers alike. So glad they’re back but still very concerned about the long-term prospects for the genre. Maybe they benefit from a “keep the lights on” mentality—gotta program the network somehow! But in this environment of revered businesses, household names going by the wayside, I’d rather they redouble their efforts to make themselves relevant again. Tell good stories—don’t make me read them!

Reply

Reed…What a lovely reply. Yes, I have been working part-time at a large bookstore. But even in this era of “revered businesses” it has also affected the bookstore in a very sad way for those of us who look at them, and libraries, as repositories of the best ideas, genres, and thoughts writers can offer to each other. Staff and customers must now wear face masks and gloves and carry disinfectant wipes. Conversation and being proactive with customers is not encouraged, staff can’t touch the book a customer is looking for but point at it. If a customer is finished looking at a book, staff must then Lysol wipe it before replacing it on the shelf. I like to think positive and hope for the day that these, too, will pass.
I’m actually revisiting some of my favorite books/authors and good storytellers like Dan Brown, John Grisham, Ray Bradbury, le Carre, Mitch Albom, Even some Patterson. I could go on and on. And TCM movies which show how as a society some things have changed for the better, and other things we are still working on.
Speaking of the soaps storytelling, romance novels are probably the largest selling genre. Soaps used to be famous for their romance, fun and adventure, and yes, cheaters etc. Maybe writers of soaps should get back to some of these good old story basics instead of the diet of crime and deceit that GH has had us on the last few years.
Keep well and stay hopeful.

Rose, it was great to hear from you! Yes, the new normal is getting old—even my returned library books have to quarantine for 72 hours! Wipes before water—I bring Lysol to the gym and not my water bottle, and that’s for my scheduled appointment! The irony of the romance novel genre still going strong, yet the soaps can’t seem to sustain, let alone expand their audience. Soaps were among the first back into production and to broadcast original episodes, or in the case of Days, never missing a beat, and yet ratings declined across all four shows. It’s incongruous! As entire industries and businesses reassess their place in the world, I hope TPTB are doing the same for the soaps. It’s not just complacency that can do you in. Stay well!

the show are alas, in the same order:

1. Y&R 2.7
2. B&B 2.4
3. GH 1.9
4. DAYS 1.6

article states that ALL 4 soaps dropped… however.. it seems Y&R has finally met Titanic… is this because of home schooling?

article: “…While Y&R returned to its #1 position, it was watched by just 2.7 million total viewers (a new low). The show is down a gut-punching one million viewers over the same time period last year. Y&R averaged just over four million viewers the week of April 20 when it last featured first run episodes.”

that is so huge… AND from what i’m reading on just this site alone… i’m not surprised… ALL the writers on these shows had time to THINK… imagination yield… @GH Nurses’ Ball… worst ever.

my favorite show ???? boy does this shoe need to spend on publicity… it’s running… i can’t find fault… especially when compared to the other three. I’ll leave it at that… and let other “fans” chew

PS: I MISS GOING TO THE LIBRARY – they’ve ALL BEEN CLOSED since mid march. I don’t check out – i buy their cast off .. 50 cents to a buck. PLUS i actually miss taking the bus.. it was all a field trip… bus, walk, lunch, libraries… exercise .

Patrick, good to hear from you. Yes, after a quick “trust but verify,” it was you that first alerted us to the disappointing ratings for all four shows–sure doesn’t bode well for our beloved genre. Is Quibi’s 7–10 minutes of content really our future? If we’ve truly become so vapid that TikTok and cat videos constitute entertainment, I predict a boon for booksellers—although not of the brick and mortar variety, because of course, we’ll have to read them on our f’ing devices!

Still ecstatic to have GH back, albeit subdued by the constraints of Covid. They clearly scaled back Ava’s portrait unveiling party and the Nurses Ball, although I will give them credit for the ball, making the best of a bad situation. It was pretty much several days of furtive glances, but it moved story along.

You must have been in particularly fine fettle at the time of your post to not be able to “find fault.” The dullards, Frank Valentini, not even Chad Duell? Your constant harping on “the dullards” is always comedic gold—and as to who the dullards are, you tend to cast a wide net. Valentini? Eh, maybe a bean counter/general manager is what’s needed to stay on the air, who knows? I certainly don’t get the sense of any world-beaters at the network leveraging the considerable Disney entertainment assets to reimagine or reinvigorate the medium. I guess we should be grateful for our placeholder status and for the fact that they haven’t given up on us as they did with AMC and OLTL. A shame, really, considering they were once a champion of the genre with five (?) dramas on at their height, plus SOAPnet. I used to catch the last two after school, GH and The Edge of Night—much to the chagrin of those on my paper route who would receive yesterday’s news maybe tomorrow, if they were lucky! We disagree on Chad Duell, but at least you’re not as unkind as those who hammer poor Wes. That guy can’t even get a haircut without getting eviscerated.

Here’s hoping that you will soon return to your pre-Covid activities. In the meantime, I’ll look forward to your future Mad Libs posts—I always get your passion but not always your intent, but interpreting is half the fun! I have a visual of you gesticulating madly as you compose your posts, hence the choppiness…two hands on the keyboard, man! Less interpretation, tell us how you really feel!

Has “Nurse Madison” ever been on the show before? Nice that she wrote a song – but frankly it did not stand out.

Did Josh Swickard have a performance that was edited out? Michael & Willow mentioned one, but nothing was shown.

So Brook Lynn never got to sing her Deception launch song before she was slashed? Show missed a beat or 2 by not having Lucy mention that.

While the show gets credit for a novel idea (telethon), it seemed a lot of time was wasted on Lucy reminding everyone about it.

As for Monica and Julian, (1) she lives in the biggest mansion in town, yet has no security or cameras? (2) it’s time for WdV to go. Julian has hurt Alexis, Lucas and now Monica – totally beyond redemption.

Nelle needs to disappear for a whiile. No matter how good an actress CL is, slashing BLQ’s throat is the final straw.

Reply

Couple things that caught my attention, I alway wonder why Brooklyn never sang on the show, and now that she’s been stab in the throat, you know she won’t be singing anytime soon, it was always weird she was all talk yet hardly ever sang at all. young Cameron is really a talented kid, he stole the talent part of the show, sorry Valentine, even though I now like the character this song this year wasn’t really my thing, And Ava throwing shade at my fave Elisabeth, well, it was funny but shady. Now how in the world are Julian and Nelle ever gonna be redeem? both have gone to far, how can Nelle be forgiven for this murderous act? and Julian well, he’s just a weasel. I think its safe to say that GH is going all out and taking more risk then the other shows, and great way for them to use the Nurses ball to shout out to frontline workers and sort of the first show todo it in a roundabout way at least recognize those who have sacrificed a lot with Covid 19. I knew Taggert was alive, it was so obvious who Jordan was talking to on her burner phone, GH gotta get better and “big reveals” and another thing, why is Dante in a WSB facility in Geneva for treatment yet he looks like he’s in prison? no wonder he’s not recuperating. If this is the way they treat their so called quasi wsb wannabe? (Dante clearly cannot cut it as a wsb agent). I would like to see more WSB stuff with the real spies Anna, Robert and Valetine, although I ‘do wish the show would introduce a WSB character that only a few select people in town knew was a spy instead of the whole town, I know Robert is retired, so is Valentine, and Anna is now more of a handler of sort and not an operative, but yeah, it would be nice to see a real secret agent on the show introduce, a young Anna or Robert like character come on Emma you need to turn 18 and join the family business. Oh and for the rest, where the heck is Alexis? Sam and Jason are still boring, Brando is hot, poor Molly or should I say lucky Molly, hope there’s more to come with this. Wheres Kristina? Bring back Hayden, and what happened to Laura? get rid of Cyrus, he’s a boring Villain, he’s more annoying then threatening. dont drag the Michael, willow, Sasha and chase secret//sacrifice. (loving Michael with longer hair)and another thing,i still dont get why nor am I a fan of recast or emergency fill in, so why can’t they do some quick rewrite and instead play out other stories with other characters surely the show had enough time and was aware that the actress playing Brooklyn would be out for maternity leave, and don’t they cut stuff out because of time? why not put those in to fill in time. Mind you the actresses that filled in for Sam and Brooklyn did a great job/are doing a great job, but how all this stuff that has aired good material for Brooklyn is all under the fill in. and lastly the opening sequence where the actors face are show when the theme song plays out(love the theme song by the way). some of the actors profile picture need to be reshot or replaced, don’t want to point out anyone in particular but lets just say their not flattering, and why is Nelle never shown? we now know that both the contract players and Recurring players are showcased, yet Nelle is never shown? and at this point she the actress has been on for months.

Reply

aria, you made a lot of observations and most of your points I agree with. I would like to see a WSB spy that no one knows about except the viewers until the ta da moment, maybe someone like Brando. We still don’t know much about him and what he and Cyrus had to talk about the other day when they were alone.Jordan is too scared to be effectual and allows Cyrus to use her as his puppet. I also missed Alexes and Laura, hope they aren’t sick with the virus.
I am hoping when Dante returns he’ll bring his doctor whom I think would be someone to interest Alexis. I don’t care for the one she likes now. Since the writers are still persuing the Nina/Nelle relationship, I imagine she won’t be killed by Julian. I agree with your thing about the Q home with no security or protection and also Michael and Willow leaving Whylie alone with Monica. I like his hair too, looks older.Glad Julian fixed his hair.When the show came back it looked like something died on his head. Sorry, I can’t stand Valentin and will never trust him. Lastly, I am one of only a few Franco fans and I am truly afraid they will send him back to his dark side because Liz has been trying so hard to blame Ava for exploiting that side of him.

Reply

It was explained over and over that Franco’s “dark side” was caused by his tumor…not some violent streak that can return. He’s proven himself ad nauseum…helping Jason save Carly, letting Jordan use him as bait to catch Ryan,and having his brain fried to save Cam. We also know he was a good kid…saved Drew from being molested.

The writers should have Liz say what I just explained when Jason or anyone questions if Franco is returning to his old self. Otherwise,,it seems like they’re contradicting or forgetting about the tumor explanation.

Reply

I agree. Many of the profile pictures are not flattering. What’s up with that?

Reply

Please, writers: no hurting Wiley!!!! Somehow a child always pays the price to lunacy!!
Another thing? Stop the teasing–why is Nina cushioning Willow’s vulnerability? Who is Nina’s daughter? Willow? Sasha? Nelle? Triplets? Maybe she had a boy who is yet to be introduced? C’mon–let’s get this done—-

Reply

I hope BLQ will be able to tell that Nelle did this awful thing to her and that Nelle is stealing Wiley. Give this girl a pad and pencil, please.

Reply

I’m not a song and dance guy and the only way to get me to Broadway would be for a Rangers game. And as for watching TV talent shows? Maybe if I was staring down the barrel of Julian’s gun. Having said that, hats off to the kids! William Lipton (Cameron) really is a talent. The show has done it before with great success, they should go all-in on his musical talent and propel his character in that direction—he’s that good and has that much stage presence. Wally Kurth (Ned) never disappoints, his performances with Lisa LoCicero (Olivia) over the years have been very moving, the songs really telling a story. Great chemistry! And kudos to the heretofore unknown nurse, Madison, as well as to mainstays Sonya, Dioni, and Risa, who bring it every year—even I can appreciate the performances.

It’s great to have everyone back and it’s been fun to see how everyone fared during the production shutdown–harkens me back to my school days and the transformations that could take place over the summer break. Risa (the very annoying [as written, I’m sure] Amy character) wins hands down, with honorable mention to Michael and Julian—just let it grow! And what about Sam? Oh yeah, that was Lindsay Hartley, her recast. Wow! the angles on that woman. Paging Mark Teschner: find her a role posthaste!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’

General Hospital

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

RATINGS: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Inches Closer to ‘General Hospital’ in Total Viewers

Beyond the Gates and General Hospital

The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.

According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.

Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS

In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .

BEYOND THE GATES

Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:

Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).

Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL

Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:

Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.

Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.

Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.

Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a  benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.

However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.

So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
