General Hospital fans circle Monday, August 27th as a not-to-be missed episode of the ABC soap! According to a very intriguing and exciting tweet this afternoon from series executive producer, Frank Valentini something big is happening on Monday’s air show!
Valentini tweeted, “The air show on Monday is not to be missed! We’ve been keeping a huge surprise under wraps.”
So what could the surprise be soapers? What we do know is Anna has been searching for Robin, could she stumble upon the mystery patient? And Jerry Jacks is about to reveal his deadly plot for Port Charles!
Whatever the surprise is , or who it is, we can’t wait to see how Valentini and Carlivati deliver it to GH fans everywhere! Weigh-in!
I think it is Victor! I’m excited no matter what I is. Today’s episode was fantastic. I am loving that Olivia is a seer. I hope eventually she can accept it and use her powers for good…..like helping Dante solve crimes….find missing children…..etc.
I don’t think it is Victor. It looked like a woman. TSJ is filming a movie in Germany now according to his web site.
I hope it has something to do with TSJ!
Can hardly wait!!!
PLEASE tell me Victor is coming back!!!
i miss him soo much <3
i can’t think they’d bring Victor into all this… not now. This is going to be Jerry Jax, Jasper Jax, Ewen (probably a Jax too), and a frantic chase of who / what is happening to Port Charles peoples… and their water! And the Robin/Anna/Luke stuff…
I think all the guys with their shirts off today was like – who was in the shower and getting any of the poisoned water on them?
but someday, it would be nice to get Victor back.
I think we will get Victor back. Just not now. I have a feeling its an old GH character. Em?? Bobbie??
It’s Rebecca Budig.
Please don’t let it be Rebecca B.
Thats what people don’t realize. Its actually Rebecca who’s on Monday
Please oh please oh please, I have nothing against the actress, but I cannot STAND Greenlee!!!
Oh gosh, I agree, please don’t let it be her!
I agree, but I saw a promo still and the person looked alot like Rebecca Budig. I hope it’s Georgie.
How do u know it’s Rebecca Budig? Greedlee was my least favorite character on my once fav soap AMC…looks like I am not the only one from the other posts..GH has been sooo good under Frank & Ron’s direction please don’t mess up with her…
That’s cause is not the big surprise is the orgianal Maxie is back as of September 5 or 6. So that is the huge surprise. Victor might be next year during May sweeps. But i blief is Maxie.
It didn’t look like robin. But it was definitely a girl.
wow can not wait sounds like exciting episode just wondering who is in that room
I think we will know the identity of the person who is pulling Jerry’s strings.
The only big news that would make me happy would be that OLTL is coming back. Otherwise…don’t care. I am glad for the GH fans….but us OLTL & AMC still suffer (:!!
mmm… yes, I suffer every time I get to see Todd Manning on GH!
😀
you don’t what your missing girl! I’ll always miss OLTL (apparently) but I love that I can get a TM fix on GH now. Todd & Starr & John McBain are all GH stars now! And sometimes Blair or Tea comes for a visit. I’ll take what I can get!
I agree with Christy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still miss OLTL a lot also!!!!!
I tried watching GH a few times…very hard when you don’t know any of the storylines. I would only be able to watch GH on soapnet…and we all know that is ending soon.I’m happy that all the former OLTL viewers are getting something from GH now.
As a GH fan before the merger, the only big news that would make me happy is also that OLTL is coming back! I miss GH. I lost my favorite show and AMC too. The problem is, that even though I watched OLTL in the past, I would never watch it again if it came back on the air. There’s been too much animosity created for me by the merger attempt, and yes, even by some fans demanding more and more OLTL on General Hospital.
I miss my oltl too,,,,Melissa Archer please….
I can’t wait. I wonder if it’s Robin.
I think it’s all of them, the past characters . Are being captive when I think about, it if Jerry has something to do with it. HE HAS TO BE WORKING, FOR SOMEONE ELSE FROM THE PAST. IF YOU REALLY THINK, WHO WOULD YOU THINK? FASION . He’s the number 1, all time villain of the whole town. Of who knows everyone’s weakness, their kids. And he’s the most obvious choice. LUKE: LUCKY. For instance. JERRY AND FASION: they both could have , ROBIN, ALAN, HOPE, LISA, JUSTICE, EMILY ZANDER, and DUKE. I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE, TO WATCH THEM ALL AGAIN EXPECT LISA.
I hope they are thinking along these lines, this is what would get us lapsed viewers to come back, great villains, great characters, great adventures! And please, some ROMANCE!!!
Lucy cole as played by lynn herring. If u look at mon preview in slow motion u get a small glimpse of the woman with anna looks like lucy.
Sorry meant lucy coe lol
But did’t we see dark hair?? Maybe it is Anna’s twin sister
I hope it’s not Brenda from the old GH days. Her role always was recycled every time she re-appeared on the show. We know Robin’s alive, so it’s got to be someone else. Dark hair – maybe Gigi from OLTL! If so, Rex will find her-
I’m really looking forward to it.
I really hope it is Robin that Anna will find in that room.
Why do both of my brief comments await moderation?
every comment i make waits for moderation………..i just post my comment & keep moving……………lol
All comments “await moderation.” That’s a good thing…keeps the garbage out.
Ethel. that was funny. Keep moving….
I don’t think whoever the mystery patient is is the surprise. I paused the preview and I could see that it kinda does look like Lucy, but I don’t think it’s her. I think maybe it’s Anna’s twin sister Alex.
Good possibilty !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry, but Frank is the master of overpromising and underdelivering. I’ve heard the hype before. Not buying it.
My sentiments exactly!
We will just have to wait & see on Mon……Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched…………….
I agree
since a small group of us has been watching GH, with a very different view then others, I’m not surprised about any surprise.
I don’t think it has anything to do with the mystery patient; but more we will find out who is Jerry working for…
Please Please Please be Robin,come back Robin we all need you .
Personally, it almost doesn’t matter what or who it will be! The show has been fantastic since Frank and Ron took over!!! I love the fact that I can’t wait for the next episode every day! It’s like the old soap promos where you just had to “tune in tomorrow”!!! Love my GH! Started watching when I was 8 years old, that was 35 yrs ago…….and will watch for another 35 if given the chance!!!
oh mayba Robin clones
I believe Anna finds Robin as TSJ is doing other Projects (not Victor Jr.) !
I hope that it’s Emily! I really miss her! Plus they’ve been mentioning Nicholas a lot lately. Fingers crossed!
Thanks Michael for all you do for the soaps. Can’t wait till Monday’s episode. Friday’s left my husband and I on the edge of our seats. That’s the way soap opera’s were meant to be.
I hope it’s someone worth waiting for! Someone is talking to Jerry.
RUMORS fly you all will have to wait..48 hours of hell until we know ROBIN IS ALIVE.
I’ll play. The woman locked in the room is Brenda. Or maybe, Heather contacts Allison Perkins (OLTL) and its revealed that Victor and Robin are being held by the same person. Or, Anna comes face to face with Duke, or Faison. Or, the mastermind behind the water poisoning is Helena Cassidine.
I think that covers all the rumors I’ve heard. Which one will it be? Or will it be something else…
Okay, GH has got me interested again, guess I’m gonna have to watch on Monday, LOL, it better not be Greenlee (barf), although I wouldn’t mind if it’s Dr. David Hayward from AMC! Really hoping for Robert, Robin, or Natalie.
My thoughts exactly on all points.
PLEASE don’t let it be any “back from the dead” types. If we SAW them die or dead onscreen……leave em that way.
Sorry Rachel,
When JFP and Guza killed off such legacy and loved characters such as Alan Q, Emily Q, Zander, Georgie, Rick Webber…I stopped watching GH. I would love for this surprise to be any character that ‘perished’ at the hands of the previous regime. I would also love it to be Lucy Coe…I almost choked when Kate mentioned Lucy and Erick Kane to Todd the other day! If you want realism with your soaps, you should move on. I want to escape from reality. If that means buying into some characters that were killed off on-screen returning…I’m all for it! If Valentini is able to pull off such a surprise with the internet so present with spoilers…he’s really good and cares about wanting those old soap surprises back. I love it that he and Ron are on Twitter. None of the other soap bosses are.
Oops…I mean’t Erica Kane 🙂
I am thinking Bobbie or Emily. Most likely Emily since Bobbie hasn’t ‘officially’ been named as missing.
Can’t wait to see, should be great! Hope it is revealing where Victor is and the Allison Perkins will be there also!! She is good at playing a psycho person.
Love GH now more than ever. Great work by everyone involved behind the scenes and also the actors in the scenes. If you have not been watching GH now would be a very good time to start watching.
I am really hoping that little Hope will turn up alive somewhere.
PLEASE keep putting Sam and McBain together. I haven’t seen this much chemistry between 2 people since Luke and Laura. They make love to each other with their eyes! Can’t wait to see these 2 together. Ever since you took over as executive producer the show is GREAT! The only problem is the best actors and charactors I love the most are rats and end up being written out. Heather and Jerry Jaks are the best actors.You love to hate them. Please figure out a way to keep Jerry on and bring Heather back! Noone plays a nut better then her. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to get SAM and MCBAIN TOGETHER!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but I couldn’t DISAGREE more. Can’t stand John with Sam. Makes me dislike both characters immensely. Used to like McBain and was neutral on Sam. Their constantly being in each other’s orbit is annoying and OTT. Enough of these two please.
I AGRRE WITH YOU….
THEY ARE FORCED….
FV…..MADE ME STOP WATCHING,,,,I DONT CARE HOW
MUCH THEY CHANGE THE MOB STUFFF
STEVE BURTON PLEASE STAY..
Nope they belong together.. I can’t agree more with Danny! Have not seen a couple with chemistry on soaps in a very long time… . Both good actors and doing a great job… Lets just keep it on screen though.. if either of the actors are in relationships.. lol
I don’t care for John with Sam……..I still prefer Natalie !!!!!! Hopefully they will resolve their problems…………I still like John but, not with Sam…….
I actually AGREE with you, Danny, and I remember the IMMENSE chemistry that Michael Easton and Kelly Monaco had on PORT CHARLES – this after she was someone else’s girl (Jack).
However, I heard rumblings that people do not like them together – they want her with Jason. I can see both sides, but with Sam sharing a baby with Jason, they really should be together. I am just not sold that they are some great love story. It is disheartening when I heard about how much Steve Burton and Rebecca Herbst wanted to be together on the show but the producers then would have none of it and kind of forced Sam back into Jason’s arms. This was after Sam watched Elizabeth’s son get kidnapped in the park and not say anything. I mean they really made Sam unlikeable, but something happened and they shifted gears and put her back with Jason. Probably has something to do with the “focus groups” they always talk about.
I agree so much on Jerry and Heather. Two amazing actors you truly love to hate. Sebastian Roche has been such a great Jerry recast compared to the original and Robin Mattson is just pure gold – a real scene stealer.
Love Jerry & Heather also. Love to hate them and they are so fun to watch. Loving Todd too.
Natalie is gone and she is not coming back… everyone needs to just get on the Sam and McBain wagon!! They will make beautiful children… and Tea can keep Sam and Jason’s baby for a 10 years. She is a good mother and there is not a lot of drama going on in her life right now. The child will be more functional vs disfuctional for hiis early life!! Jason is leaving the show anyway….
Surprised that only one other person suspected it, but the first brunette I thought of (besides Robin) was Brenda. It would make sense for Jerry to go after her, messing with Sonny and Jax again. GH has been getting everyone back, I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to twist Vanessa Marcil’s arm to come back for a couple of months. (And Anna, since she and Brenda never had scenes together, even though Robin & Brenda were BFFs, wouldn’t recognize her!)
Brenda was some international model so I would think Anna would recognize Brenda if she saw her. I don’t think it is her though. I really believe the “surprise” is the person pulling Jerry’s strings.
I never liked Brenda, so I didn’t want to admit it, but I think it might be her as well. Vanessa Marcil also tweeted a pic of herself soon after Valentini’s tweet that said “Got Brenda?”
i just want OLTL to be brought back….i now watch gh with some of the folks from OLTL, but i want the show back….i also miss AMC…abc still sucks & i will still boycott abc daytime programming except for GH
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duke Lavery is coming back. I know.
In other news , Tracy E. Bergman from The Young and The Restless is out and there will be a huge reveal regarding Avery “Clark” – Think Matt “Clark”….
from
The TruthTeller
But isn’t the actor that plays him (name escapes me right now) on DAYS or B&B or something? I don’t think it is him.
Christine,
Ian Buchanan was let go from Days months ago. Days tapes 3 months in advance so it sooooooooooo could be Duke! If that’s true, what a great surprise. For Anna, especially in her relationship with Luke. For Robin, when she is found alive! Imagine Sonny meeting Duke Lavery! I hate the mob stuff but I so would love it if Duke was brought back. His character was written much more to be just any old mobster….even though that’s what got him ‘killed’ off when Ian left the show. When Jonathan Paget came on as Duke with plastic surgery, he was good and I was loving his chemistry with Anna…they killed him off again. Paget can be explained to be a phony. No loss there.
I can’t wait until Monday! Thank you FV for making GH appointment tv once again. I don’t even want to guess what the surprise is, I am glad not to know & love being surprised.
Agree Liz! I cannot wait for GH every day. I don’t want to know the surprises in advance either. I LOVE IT.
Duke Lavery !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is he up to???? Is he doing this because of Robert Scorpio or Anna…That he has Robin????
yep,Susan…he’s surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre did has Robin. Somebody take Jerry Jaxs out of trash. we knew he is rat(LOL)
I read on the soap digest book cover in target today that the character of Bobbie Spencer , well she was fired from GH & that it was a big secret… Hmmm!!! I don’t know about that ??????????? If it is true or not…..Did you catch Gh on Fri. Before Jerry Jaxs came on the t.v. The chew was on for a second…Why would they put that crap on….
susan M., its ABC. They will do whatever they can to force feed that stupid show down our throats even though we keep saying how much we detest it. I’m surprised they haven’t decided to do some kind of subliminal messages during GH to make us watch that drivel … but maybe they are doing that for Katie. Ha! Ha! Won’t work on me.
I don’t like how they are alway’s forcing that cooking show down our thorats every chance they get…………They must be desprite for viewers !!!!!! Because it’s such a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And no one ever will watch that bulloney!!!!
I JUST LOVE TO SEE AGAIN, NATILIE , AND BO, AND CLINT, AND VICKI FROM OLTL. AND BRING BACK BABY HOPE, FOR STARR. I REALLY WANT JOHN M AND SAM, TOGETHER THEY ARE HOTT TOGETHER, BUT IF WE BRING ON NATILIE ON. THEN WE COULD SEE, CATFIGHTS BETWEEN THE 2 GIRLS, TO MAKE JOHN TO MAKE UP HIS MIND. The mystery patient: ROBIN!!!!!! SHE HAS TO COME BACK FOR GOOD. I MISS HER. The past characters that have to come back, 1.) ALAN 1.) EMILY 2.) BRENDA 3.) NICOLAS 4.) LUCY 5.) KEVIN 6.) ZANDER. I THINK I KNOW, WHO’S REALLY BEHIND THIS, WHOLE THING: ALL OF THE VILLIANS: LISA, HELENA, FASION, DUKE. JERRY, HEATHER. AND EVEN THE VILLIANS, IN THE PAST: MANNY.
loving GH its getting good again, those horrible flashbacks are down, and shown now only when needed, the oltl characters are finally fitting in better, and jerry jax is one hell of a villian, this is must see tv.
Helena & Cesar Faison. The person is directly connected to either Anna or Luke. All of your guesses are off.
Very good guesses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Faison is from Anna’s past from her WSB day’s…………..
No one ever said that the surprise was an arrival. The surprise could be storyline based, like someone’s related to someone else, or someone dies, or something everyone thought to be true isn’t. I’m not convinced that the surprise is that someone is returning.
Duke Slavery is coming back!
………FV IS TURNING GH INTO OLTL….PEROID
CARLY AND JAX,JOHNNY TODD….DUMB
KATE AND SONNY….I DONT GET
DANTE AND
LULU…THE MESSED THAT UP BECAUSE THEY DONT
WANT TO SEE NOBODY HAPPY….
STARR AND MICHAEL….WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
KRIS AND TREY….?
TRACEY AND JOE JR……REALLY?….FV
ALEX AND SHAWN,……MAYBE….MAYBE NOT….
LIZ AND JASON…..DON’T GET ME STARTED….
AND TO THE BIGGEST BLUNDER…….DRUMROLLL
JOHN AND SAM…..FORCED AND I CANT STAND THE COUPLE
Jasam All The WAY….
……I KNOW FV DONT GIVE A DAM ABOUT COUPLES!!!!!
……..I’M NOT BUYING THE MCBAIN SAMMATHA JUICE…
SPEED UP THE STORYLINE
LET JASAM GET THEIR BABY FROM….TEA,FOR CHRIST SAKE
KOOLIAD IS WHAT HE SELLING TO COUPLES
GH is still on the air. Sheesh…some people cannot just be happy about that. Complain, complain, complain. If the shoe was on the foot, and GH was canceled, I would have loved to have some GH people on the other ABC soap…be it OLTL or AMC. If you have that many complaints, please move on. Your getting yourself all worked up and its tiring for fans like me who have stuck by GH through the great times (Wendy Riche) to the dismal times (JFP). With budgets the way the are and soaps in peril, Ron and Frank are doing great.
……..JUST PUT JASON AND SAM TOGETHER WITH THEIR CHILD…
I DONT CARE OR GIVE A FLYING F**** ABOUT EVERYTHING
ELSE…
KOOLAID JUICE IS STILL WHAT HE SELLING TO THE AUDENICE
SO I’M GOING TO COMPLAIN ALL THE DAM TIME,,,,,,,,,
AND FURTHER MORE, REUNITED NAT WITH MCBAM….
NOBODY NOT INTRESTED IN MCBAIN HOOKING
UP WITH SAM!!!…..
AND STEVE BURTON YOU GOREGOUS!!!!!
THE WRITING IS SKETCHY
I’M ASKING FOR HAPINESS FOR JASAM
AND DANTA LULU
I agree with your comments on 8/27 at 6:44a.m. I wish Anna would find Robin already…………At the clinic where Anna was today(Mon.) it wasn’t Robin she found..Then you see the woman that is in charge of the clinic talking to someone and it is Duke Lavery….What has he to do w/everything???? Why does he have Robin??? Anna & Duke where in love years ago..What does he have against Anna or is it Robert scorpio he has this vendetta with ….
Did you see on GH Friday before Jerry Jax’s came on the T.V. You saw that crappy show The Chew……………..
Love that Elizabeth switched the sound off when The Chew came on! Also did you catch that the gift box Tracy gave Joe was from Wyndham’s, the department store that Luke and Laura got locked in years ago. And the mention of Skye! Great writing happening for smart viewers.
I def like intelligent and creative writers!
I agree.
Also loved that Jerry asked the citizens of Port Charles if they were wondering what happened to their soap opera when he cut into the Chew.
I noticed the gift box was from Wyndams too. I loved that. Also loved Jerry asking if he was interrupting their soaps. Loving GH, even if I’m not drinking the McBam Kool-aid. I can live through that until John comes to his senses and Sam finds her own man. John is a rebound.
Also loved Kate’s references to Lucy Coe, Erica Kane and Blair Cramer. Would love to see Lucy or Blair, Erica – not so much. sorry.
The Chew just seeing it for that short time made me annoyed to see it on Gh of all places….That cooking show belongs under a rock & never to be found again….I don’t like cooking shows & I never ever watched those kind of programs…
Olivia Jerome
I almost choked…in a good way…when Kate mentioned both Lucy Coe and Erica Kane to Todd the other day. Love the past being respected.
Natalie, I guess you dont care that Natalie and John fans what her on.
Jax sucks…waste on canvans.
Greenlee? Eh.
Maybe it’s Erica? Her plane crashed into Port Charles or something…..lol.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Carly and Lulu Make Plans to Rescue Their Children; Anna Looks Determined to Secure Her Freedom

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. 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.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Announces Upcoming Release of His First Single, ‘If You Need Me’

In a surprise move, Daytime Emmy winner, Chad Duell (ex-Michael Corinthos, GH) is getting ready to unveil a new chapter of his career in music.
The former GH star, where he played the son of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) for 15 years, has announced his new single, “If You Need Me” will drop on Friday, June 26. The single is now available for pre-order on Spotify and major music streaming platforms and is distributed by DistroKid.
Taking to his Instagram story over the weekend, to announce the pre-save of his new single, Chad expressed, “I’ll make a full post about what I’ve been up to and my music once it goes live next week, but you can pre-save my first single so it goes straight to your Spotify once it drops next week.”

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.
