Instead of short-term vindication, Carly opts for her information bomb to come out publicly – at the wedding. Jason tries to call off the wedding since the Balkan is not dead, but Brenda and Sonny push plans forward. Brenda and Dante continue to discuss the civil case with Theo. The Balkan discovers how his son Aleksander died – and exactly who is responsible. He squeezes his leverage to exert further force on our traitor. Abby is intercepted by Brandon, who solicits her and taunts her for the recent prostitution bust – just as Carly walks by overhearing. Carly again challenges Abby to do the right thing and stay away from Michael. Abby tells Michael she is in fact a hooker (a lie) in hopes he will stay away for his own good, and Carly confronts Sam for introducing Michael to a stripper. Sam discusses the fertility procedure with Dr. Kelli Lee. Johnny warns Lisa that Patrick is onto her regarding the syringe. Lucky is blindsided by Siobhan’s break up wish and demands an explanation. Theo inadvertently stuns Lulu, informing her of Brenda and Dante’s murder cover-up in 2007.  Furious at his lies, Lulu breaks up with Dante. Jason comes to Sam’s defense as Carly rips into the genesis of Michael and Abby. Michael lashes out at Carly.  Jason counsels him, as Michael struggles to talk about his past. Jason asks Abby to be honest with Michael. Molly has a nightmare than an emotional hissy fit, shocking Kristina with behavior so unlike her. Steve checks on Olivia’s recovery, with a hint of romance. Nik and Brook Lynn continue to grow closer.

Sonny awakens again from the nightmare premonition of the wedding day, leveling a gun at startled Brenda. Lulu feels cursed with the Spencer prophecy: doomed to lose love. Michael discovers Dante a mess at home. Dante tries to convince Lulu of his love, but she no longer trusts him. Brenda and Robin gossip together about Terrell and the upcoming wedding plans. The Balkan makes plans to kidnap Brenda on her wedding day. Sonny agrees to bring on Claire to help Theo defend the civil suit. Unaware of the recent development, Molly questions Sam on her reason to not have kids. Terrell makes inroads with Robin when he volunteers to help the understaffed AIDS wing. Thinking she is suffering from bi-polar disorder, Molly investigates the illness online and then resolves to see Uncle Sonny. Nik and Brook Lynn share their first kiss. But later, Liz throws down against Brook Lynn, using Aiden as bait. Brenda blames herself for Dante and Lulu’s break up, and she resolves to make things right. Lulu tries to distract herself with work, but is shocked when Brenda arrives to convince her to take Dante back. Diane brings Carly legal proof that Brenda and Dante had a baby together, just as Dante catches them in conversation. Obviously tweaked by Terrell’s attention on Robin, Patrick tries to hide his jealousy as Lisa revels in. Patrick finds Lisa and Terrell enjoying drinks together. Sonny and Molly discuss bi-polar disorder.  Leaving the office, Molly has a PTSD attack as she is overwhelmed by the sounds of a local road car accident. Lucky confronts Siobhan, demanding to discuss the abrupt ending of their relationship.  He remains concerned for her safety.

Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

Published

Josh and Kristen

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.

The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.

Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?

Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.

So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?

Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.

Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

Trina and Spencer

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!

The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup).  Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …

It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris.  With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”

In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.

As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.

BACK FROM THE DEAD?

After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.

So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’?  Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.

This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED

When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.

In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”

When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).

Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!

So, glad to see Brad Cooper and Selina Wu back in action? Do you hope they stay for a bit? What do you think of Josslyn getting the piers? Is this how she sets out to destroy Sonny? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
