GH Nurses’ Ball 2023 Part Three: Vanna in Peril, Brook Lynn Stands Her Ground, and More Performances Take Centerstage
On part three of the 2023 General Hospital Nurses’ Ball, it was all about side stories, sub-stories, and major story as more Port Charles favorites and special guests took to the stage sprinkled in with a few moments of heart-tugging nostalgia.
As the episode begins, we actually get a flashback to years ago when Felicia (Kristina Wagner) took to the Nurses’ Ball stage, but when Mac (John J. York) and Bobbie (Jackie Zeman) reminisce about the old days of the ball, there were no clips, leading us to wonder that perhaps their moments were unavailable in the GH or ABC archives.

Backstage, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) throws a drink at Linc (Dan Buran) to keeps his claws off of Josslyn (Eden McCoy). As the night wears on, Brook Lynn’s decision to sign Linc’s NDA is really waying on her, making her more uneasy as she sees just how creepy Linc is in action with other women at the ball.

Deanna (Dioni Michelle Collins) introduces very special guest, Danielle Ponder, who slays the performance of her latest single “Someone Like You”.

Sonny (Maurice Benard) catches Bobbie (Jackie Zeman) backstage. He tells her he wants to start a nursing scholarship fund in honor of Epiphany and gives her quite the hefty check. Bobbie, who has been upset with Sonny on how he let down her daughter, Carly (Laura Wright), confesses that she is always impressed when Sonny shows his generosity for things like this.
Then, in the most emotional moment in the episode, Sonny and Bobbie recall Stone when Sonny tells her the money he’s donating is given in Stone’s memory. Bobbie tells Sonny he was wonderful to Stone.

Dex (Evan Hofer) is getting a shot of tequila and we later learn its to loosen him up, because it appears that he and Cody (Josh Kelly), who is now being framed by Gladys (Bonnie Burroughs), might be hitting the Nurses Ball stage soon. Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) sees Dex swigging down his drink and wants to rat him out to his uncle Sonny since he is supposed to be on the clock working for the mobster. Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Joss come upon the scene and Trina is furious with Spencer for his entitled behavior and storms out. Josslyn also rips into Spencer. Next, a henchmen of Victor’s (Charles Shaughnessy) tells Spencer that when Victor calls him, he best to what he says.

Chase (Josh Swickard) and Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) hit the Nurses’ Ball stage next and perform their duet. Playing in the band is none other than Nancy Lee Grahn’s real-life daughter, singer and musician, Kate Grahn. At the end of the performance, Linc jumps onstage and kisses Blaze on the cheek, which sets off Brook Lynn. She decides to tell the attendees how Linc exploits young female musical artists and calls him out for being a sexual predator. Next, Blaze admits that Linc is dirt and Brook Lynn is telling the truth. Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) comes out of the audience to drag Linc out of the ball.
Young Georgie and James, along with Liesl (Kathleen Gati), perform a magic act that in its final trick goes horribly wrong. Liesl has vanished because somehow Victor’s henchmen have stuffed her unconscious in the trunk of a car.

Back at the the safe house, after firing shots at them, Victor tells Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Anna (Finola Hughes) he wants the ice princess necklace now and to hand it over. Victor says he’s very disappointed in Valentin’s lack of concern for him, since he spent weeks mourning his supposed death. The henchmen have Anna in a headlock about to snap her neck, if Valentin doesn’t come up with the jewels. Eventually, Valentin gives the necklace (the one he said he originally didn’t have) to Victor. However, Victor pulls out a gun and takes aim and fires shots at Anna!
What did you think about the performance today from Danielle Ponder, Chase and Blaze, and the magic tricks from Georgie and James? Do you think someone shot Victor, just as he was shooting Anna? How will Vanna et al get out of this situation? How will the ball conclude? Share your thoughts and your theories via the comment section, but first, check out Danielle Ponder’s Nurses’ Ball performance.
Enjoyed Danielle’s performance but I had hoped we would’ve gotten a nostalgic performance from a past resident of PC. Like a Noah, Frisco, Blackie, or Miguel. The loyal fans deserved that.
Not enough nostalgia yet. I know lack of clips was mentioned. Someone in the soap press should check about why that is?
It’s GHs 60th. Plots are moving but we also needed some entertainment it’s the Nurses Ball.
I didn’t get the whole show as it jumped from wed to Friday, it is so dissapointing ,what happened to the missing hour
When there’s a preemption (as there was Tuesday), DVRs often skip recording the next day or one after since they interpret one of the postponed shows as a rerun. Easiest way to adjust that is to see recording to all episodes, not just new.
Go to the ABC app or website to catch the missing episode.
Never heard of Danielle Ponder before, but I’m glad they found somebody who could actually sing. The rest of these autotuned lip-synced performances have been embarassing.
Perhaps the producers were unable to isolate clips of Mac or Bobbie without other performers who were not on or no longer on the show. I don’t recall Bobbie ever having a solo act in the Ball – only appearing with other nurses. They could’ve found a clip of Mr. Marbles though!
Michael, one main point not listed above – Anna & Valentin instructing Lucy to escape through the bedroom window. Somehow she’ll make it to the Metro Court on Friday’s episode.
Victor grabbing Liesl (who goes out the night before a major medical procedure) will just prolong the Willow storyline. At least it’s a plot twist no one saw coming.
I know she wasn’t on the episode, but it would’ve been so much better for Alexis to be the one back stage with Danielle Ponder than Carly. She also has new life post a legal career and they could’ve given her a line to compliment the band members.
missing the whole episode,is there some way to see it
Blaze can sing!! What an amazing voice.
Sorry nurses ball this year especially sad since it was GH 60th this year.

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.
