This week and in October, General Hospital looks to be ramping up some storylines that will have major consequences for the citizens of Port Charles.

In the latest promo for the ABC daytime drama series, Hayden (Rebecca Budig) seems to reveal that the little girl in the hospital bed is Finn’s (Michael Easton) bio-child.  The little girl seen in the promo is young actress, Jophielle Love.

Elsewhere, Ryan (Jon Lindstrom) wants Ava (Maura West), what will his next move be even if he is supposedly behind bars? Ava is frightened and says she is being stalked.  She also has been sipping one too many martinis lately to calm her nerves.  Will Halloween horrors come Ava’s way?

Meanwhile, the judge is ready to rule in the competency of Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) who has been mind-mapped with Drew’s memories.  How will the decision impact the lives of Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), Cameron (William Lipton), Kim (Tamara Braun) and more?

Watch the promo below  Then, let us know how you think these three storylines will play out via the comment section below by sharing your theories.

OK–
My friend was in the kitchen doing pizza while I was reading this stuff..
I see ” Fayden ”
I asked her.. who is this Fayden person?
she said who?
I said GH a Fayden
silence then..
ohh that’s one of those squished names
it’s probably Haden and Fin?

Why on earth do intelligent Adults insist in Kindgerdnen neener neener speak? huh?
It is the most ridiculous thing, it makes grownups look brain deficient.

If I had a 6yr old children I wouldn’t allow them to speak in stupid squishing names/words..
if they did I’d inform them that grownups don’t speak that stupidly, do want to speak baby talk??

AHAA! it hit a raw nerve, a peeve of mine for sure.

Su, I keep wondering why intelligent adults insist on referring to a GH actor they don’t like with these nicknames that sound like they come from a bullying middle-schooler on the playground. It’s fine to not like an actor’s style or character or whatever, but the insulting personal attacks via these nicknames are not clever; they just make the posters look petty and immature. It is possible to criticize and still behave like a civilized adult.

Cute kid. Perhaps she could give acting lessons to the Parking Lot Flop. Send Kim to the looney bin. This Franco mess is atrocious.

If Drodd could have at least answered Jason’s question and “remembered” Whiny Heiny from the days when Real Drew was abducted from Afghanistan & smuggled off to Greece or Russia or where ever the brain mapping happened, and this resulted in Whiny Heiny getting either killed or shipped off to prison….. well then at least there would be some valid purpose to the ridiculous mess of a storyline that is “Drodd”.

As it is, I’m hoping the US Navy has dispatched some MPs to arrest this mentally addled lunatic (and his lawyer) for committing “stolen valor”, with Drodd wearing Drew’s dress uniform & trying to pass himself off as Drew. BTW, wouldn’t Drew’s memories also include some confidential details of Navy SEAL missions, which the Navy certainly wouldn’t want to fall into any unauthorized hands? They should be locking up that impostor for that reason as well.

Satan, you aren’t trying to apply logic to this convoluted story line, are you? I know you are smarter than that.

Not even Spock himself could find logic in Port Charles. Yet, a Devil keeps trying to make at least a little sense of it.

Well, the little cutie playing Violet is just that, a cutie. What I really having trouble with in this story is that Anna has been gone for soooo long, I have lost any care I had about her and Finn being together. Hayden and Finn are getting so much play without us seeing how Anna feels about it. And all this is because why??? Is Fiona off screen for personal reasons? Are we really supposed to believe it’s taking all this time to find her sister for some thinly plotted storyline no one cares about? Get Anna home and let’s see Finn and Anna and Hayden work through all this mess.

As for Ava’s stocker…I think it’s turn out that it’s Nic, very much alive and wanting to reconnect. I loved them together in Greece and would love to see them reunite; a power couple to rule PC. And wouldn’t it be great fun to see Ryan go crazy because he couldn’t do anything about it from behind bars?

I haven’t seen Friday’s episode as I write this, but I hope the judge ruled that Franco couldn’t make his own decision. This whole thing is running too long and is too stupid. I keep waiting to hear someone to say that Franco did not choose to die, he only chose to keep his step-son’s memories from being swiped. “Drew” didn’t choose do live in Franco’s brain, Shiloh and that quack doctor forced it upon Franco. It wasn’t a choice, it was a crime and should be treated as such. I guess we’ll have to wait until the November or (worse yet) the February sweeps to see the operation go through and find out what happens. Ugh! They have really turned most of the characters on the “Drew” side into idiots. What a shame. Only a few scenes have worked for me. Looking forward to this story line ending asap.

Rodd,
Agree that little Violet is adorable, and she couldn’t have a better daddy than Finn. I read somewhere that Anna/Fiona takes time off every year to be with her family, but I have to say , I lost interest in her way before she left.
I do not know what to think of Franco/Drew SL., but you sure nailed it by saying that it was a crime that was done to him, not a choice, and would or could be considered assault maybe, like any other physical harm done to someone. Excuse my rambling, I dont know what the hell I’m talking about.
I am sure you are right about Ava’s stalker being Nickolas, but what I am wondering about and which no one has addressed is the fact that before he was “killed”, Nick was still married to Heyden, and it hasn’t been that long for him to become legally dead. Am wondering if that might throw them back together somehow?

What a beautiful child!! I hope and pray, the ‘ye gods’ do not kill her off—they seem to thrive on doing away with babies/ children, in general.
I am finally into a story with substance.
I think we all knew that Hayden would return with Finn’s child…..it was a given….please keep this story alive—BUT, in a positive direction, for once.

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.

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.
