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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

Kearran Giovanni Debuts on ‘General Hospital’ as Anna Devane’s New Therapist

If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).

HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired

The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
