General Hospital
GH Preview – Week of July 2, 2018
This week on General Hospital as the fourth of July brings fireworks in the sky and fireworks for the relationships in Port Charles, Nina (Michelle Stafford) tells Peter (Wes Ramsey) this may be his last chance for her to let him go as he bargains to go free, while she must decide whether to finally get out of the mess she finds herself in from her part in his kidnapping.
Meanwhile, most of Michael’s (Chad Duell) family and friends react negatively to the news that he is engaged to Nelle (Chloe Lanier), but that does not deviate him from his plan to get the goods on Nelle, and free his mother Carly (Laura Wright) from Ferncliff. Will Nelle finally lose at her own game?
And, why is Julian (William deVry) so into information on birth parents and adoptive laws? Is he planning on doing something illegal to help his son, Lucas (Ryan Carnes) and Brad (Parry Shen) become parents without any trouble, or will he end up causing more trouble than anyone bargained for? Should Kim (Tamara Braun) be concerned?
Make sure to check out these additional teasers. Then tell us via the comment section, what are you most looking forward to this week on GH!

Wish the Peter/Nelle storylines would wrap up. Looking forward to Lucas and Brad. This is one of my favorite stories. Hope Julian doesn’t mess up their adoption. Wish they were on more, so we could really get a feel of what they’re going through.
I like Brad and Lucas too. This entire storyline has been told “off-air.” I think that Nelle has something to do with their private adoption. Yet, the parking lot hire is on every day. Lucky us.
Yeah and he’s tied to a bed. It’s truly sad. His scenes do nothing to advance the story. They certainly don’t make me feel sorry for him. I was rooting for the rattlesnake.
LMAO!!!!!
Me, too, Trish. I also felt that the snake gave a better performance in the scene.
Oops…sorry, Soaphound! Didn’t mean to paraphrase your line…I just didn’t read it until after I posted my own!
I agree, Trish. Not to mention the sex appeal factor. Brad has always pushed my buttons, that gorgeous hair alone. And the bad boy pout…yes, more Brad and Lucas!
Soaphound, Brad may have nice hair, but he is not a nice person. After all the things he’s done, helping Britt become mother to Lulu’s baby, and trying to blackmail Heyden and Finn,etc. Sorry, but I wouldn’t give him a baby in a million years!
I bet a lot were rooting for the boy”scout” that had the sense to immediately find the key under the doormat, but lacked the brains to run for help. Any kid I know, would have run out to their group screaming” help, help, there’s a guy back there, all tied up to a bed” Why make that boy look so dumb? I guess we have to watch (or not) the crazy Dr. O, mit her sidekick, torture Peter a while longer.Wonder if she brought the toothpicks to use under his fingernails, and I don’t mean to clean them!
Amen, Violet. This kid makes me recall the classic line from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”: “I weep for the future”. The kid seemed like a robot only programmed for those silly badges. Hope it’s just a brief visit to Port Charles. We’ve already met the dimwit quota.
Did you watch OLTL, Soaphound? If so, that’s the kid who played little Sam! He was so adorable!!!
Rebecca1, no I didn’t watch OLTL regularly. It’s not the actor’s fault, it’s the writing I don’t like here. Just doesn’t ring true.
I agree; the scene was ridiculous. The first thing a boyscout would do is seek help. I’m starting to think Obrecht paid him to check on the man in the cabin. Maybe she told him it was part of a game they were playing…
Was anyone else shocked by Michael’s disappointment over Drew’s not being present at his engagement announcement? Really? He hasn’t said ‘boo’ to Drew since Jason dropped thru the ceiling! Like Carly (who never even thanked Drew for rescuing Joss), Sonny (whose life Drew saved twice), Spinelli, and Robin (Drew saved her from elevator bomb), Michael proved to be a false friend. Still, Chad is really cute and I like the new “anti-Nelle” attitude. When this is all over, I’d like he and Chase to be friends. He needs someone besides Jason for a bromance.
Soaphound. Yes I thought it a little weird, especially since no one but Monica has given two s***s for him,since Jason literally dropped back in to GC. I guess they were probably using him for a place holder, when he deserves so much more than that.I am getting impatient waiting for something or someone to happen to this special guy, because as the young ones say, he’s really got it going on!
I STILL want someone to acknowledge that Franco is Drew and Jasons cousin!
rebecca 1. I had totally forgotten that Jason and Franco’s mother’s were cousins. Isn’t it also ironic that Franco and Liz share the same half-brother in Steven Lars Webber?
SOMEONE MENTIONED AN EDIT BUTTON. WHERE IS IT PLEASE?
Hi Violet. It appears AFTER your comment is approved. So, you can’t edit when u write your initial comment but once it posts you can go back and edit it. The edit option will be next to the reply option.
Thanks Rebecca, I did know that, but sometimes I have second thoughts, after posting, and oops! I need the edit button then. To me, editing after something’s been approved can be too late, your words are out there, and I might not catch it, until its too late. Don’t mind disagreeing with someone, but don’t like to offend. I’ve had this happen a couple of times, the past year, and am a little gun shy. What’s the saying about the tongue and the sword?
Michael, thank you so much for the great explanation. It all makes sense now. Violet
endgame–
valentin will rescue Peter and Nina.
He will be ‘fixer’ .
Nina SHOULD let Peter go….two wrongs do not make a right….except in Algebra. LOL.
Yet, Liesl is painstakingly making sure Peter is in constant pain and discomfort….hungry and thirsty. The mad, diabolical doctor is doing her thing.
Always on top of her mountain, Ms Gati is….truly love this actress.
Neither she nor Nina has the right to play God. I can understand how an eye for an eye is tempting ( esoteric), but Liesl is not thinking that with her in prison, little James will not be in her life.
Nina? I hope she does the right thing. I love this character….she has come a long way; therefore, it would be truly frustrating and dirty if the writers steered in that direction.
Julian? Not that I care, but the evil seed is still within him….as is Sonny’s.
Julian’s countenance of ‘goodwill’ has begun to shift…..It was evident as he and his sister were planning Bensch’s fate in case ‘things’ would not go Kiki’s way.
So, yes, Hoolian may plunge into murky waters, as he has swum through them in the past. ‘Tis in his DNA….as it is in Ava’s.

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)?

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. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

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.
