Hold on to your socks, GH fans! Tomorrow looks to be a key day in the unraveling of the Duke mystery/story that may give us a major clue as to just what has happened to Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) that has turned him into such a seemingly evil guy!
General Hospital’s head writer, Ron Carlivati took to his Twitter account today to tease fans with the following series of exciting tweets: “Tomorrow on General Hospital, the truth about Duke Lavery. ‘Nuff said. Is Duke Lavery really as bad as he seems? Could someone be controlling Duke Lavery? And if so, why? Find out tomorrow on General Hospital. Watch #GH!
In addition, GH’s executive producer, Frank Valentini had a curious tweet this afternoon stating, “WHAT? WHO? Tomorrow’s #GH is a blast!”
Ok soapers, who do you think could be pulling the strings here, if indeed someone is controlling Duke Lavery? What do you think “the truth is” of this killer/kidnapper dude, version of Duke? Weigh-in!
its helena and her crew/family…..
I wouldn’t put it past her.
It could be Jason who went under cover to rescue Robin. Sorry, still can’t get over my JnR.
I dont think this is duke…i believe it is faison..wasnt he supposedly killed in a explosion(blast)..mmmm….bet he is behind this whole thing and the real duke will be shown to be alive and being held like robin
One can only hope. Wouldn’t it be ironic if Robert was the one to rescue Duke given his distain for him?!
Faison in makeup or surgery would explain why Luke is so suspicious of him.
I never thought of this. Wonderful! Can’t wait for today’s episode. Love GH! Wait a minute. You don’t think Jason is being held also do you? No. Maybe.
Awesome!!
GH is so exciting and fast moving, I’m always on the edge!
GH is ready for prime time!!
I am having a soap love affair with GH .. lol
It is unbelievable that BB and YR have higher ratings, that is beyond any reason..
I agree, Nelson ratings are antiquated pieces of nothing so many of us watch Gh and are not accounted for in the ratings…….my family of at least 50 or more have been watching GH since 1963 and never were they counted for in Ohio, Kentucky, New York, California…. We need us all to be counted.
According to the last Soap Opera Digest, GH was closing in on B&B….
Because both those soaps walk treadmills around GH.
i agree wholeheartedly – it’s now a 2 hour a day love affair…. BOTH, GH & Days… are good…. in any event… they’re both keeping me interested…. I can believe… how much Elieen Davidson… captivates… she’s brought a whole new dimension… to DOOL. Kristen and EJ look so good together… CLASS…. I’m enjoying and LOL… over John’s “libidinous… behaviour…” it’s just a treat to see john and marlena… acting out… days of old… the writing is pretty good. I’m heartsick over Nicole… Lucas has been so good with Will…. even if i don’t like it… it needs to be shared….
GH – what an emotional rollercoaster! so much to say…. standing ovation to the writers, with the Robin story…. Emma talking on the phone with her mom…. and does she talk to Patrick… ???? Tears!
GH is on fire !!! Best it has ever been in the past 20 years.
I totally agree keep it up Cartini love you guys………
Agree 100%
FAison..no Helena, no Faison, no Helena…Wiat what would the Helena /Robin connection be?
Do not know anything about the Faison storyline so I can’t say. My thoughts are it has something to do with the Cassadine Family. If they are incorporating any of the OLTL storyline into it maybe Allison Perkins has Victor Jr. captive where Robin is. Since in daytime dramas nobody ever seems to stay dead maybe Victor jr/Todd’s mother(I have forgotten her name) could be alive. She is evil enough she could be a secret Cassadine. Far fetched but anything can happen on Soaps. Another surprise could be whomever the evil person was on AMC could be connected.
I’m hoping that the Cassadine’s are their own separate story and not connected to this … but would love it if Victor Jr is at the same hospital that Robin is… that would be awesome. Robin escapes from her room, dashes into another room to escape capture and discovers Victor. And yes it would be great if Dr. David Hayward from AMC was part of this story too. 🙂
who is behind the mask???????
yeah,who is the hell behind that mask? Scooby Doo already took the mask from costume..lol….. I know that Robert Scorpio be back next Thursday. Robert is not Duke Lavery.. My guess is Faison still old WBS enemy.
“The Truth about Duke” is dumb. This storyline went from BAD to WORSE. It makes zero sense whatsoever and I’m not impressed.
I have thought from the beginning that it was Cesar Faison and think he will be revealed to be te ‘unmasked’ one; could not, however, have seen this coming! I thought that’s who would be revealed as holding Robin at the beginning of the story arc and then, when it was Duke, thought myself wrong—now, I’m thinking I may have been right all along!!
He was wearing a mask & took it off in front of Robin on Fri. show..Couldn’t remember the stories Robin was talking about from her childhood..Didn’t show his face when he took the mask off.It looks like someone Robin knows she looked surprised…Who is he???
for Anna’s sake… and i’ll buy in to the “real” Duke being held captive….
it’s been so romantic… watching Anna and Duke… and all the past…. scenes… of ole’.
It’s Casey the space alien!
Forget Duke. I want Robert Scorpio back. KM needs to come back on a regular basis. I miss her!
This whole Duke story line is ridiculous. Anna was touching, hugging, kissing Duke and never noticed his face was a mask that could be ripped off in a matter of seconds??? Wasn’t she a highly regarded WSB agent for the last three decades?? She has been fooled for weeks, and Robin figures out it’s not Duke within 5 minutes of seeing him? Does anyone have a count of how many GH characters have been presumed dead only to return alive and well a few months or years later? No wonder all Felicia could say when she saw Duke for the first time was “I heard you were back in town.”
errr…it’s a soap. just sit back and enjoy the ride!
I would normally cry “foul” at Duke’s mask, but if it’s Faison (which it looks like it will be) then he has a history of some sort of mind control (I can’t remember the specifics) and that’s why Anna didn’t become suspicious. I realized that he is always handing her something to drink.. it’s been subtle (or maybe I’m just remembering wrong) .. IN any event, it’s a soap so I tend to give a wide leeway. I just thank heaven it’s not another ‘plastic surgery’ story!
BTW Faison turned up on another ABC soap a few years after he, Anna and Robert all supposedly perished in that boating accident 20 years ago so we’ve known for awhile that he survived. Actually, Robert and Anna took many years to resurface (Anna first on AMC).
Here’s hoping that the RealDuke is actually alive – like after the storyline is over and Duke/Faison is banished/imprisoned/killed whatever, that we flash to some sort of rest home and there’s the real Duke.. just like the show did so many years ago with the real Grant Putnam. (Yes it’s a little sad how well I know the history of this show LOL) 😉
Should mention here, that I’m really grateful that Cartini have been keeping actors’ returns and plot points under wraps.. this show is much more fun when I don’t know what’s coming. Alan’s return last week (even as a ‘ghost’ ) was a complete surprise (and what a great episode that was, too).
Yes, I agree it was great to see Alan return. It was a complete surprise. I am thinking that this is a manipulation by Faison. Hopefully we will find out tomorrow!
I thought it was an exciting episode on Fri. This is a really good storyline & done very well…..Will be watching today!!!
GH is the BEST!!!!!!
I really hope its NOT Jerry Jacks.
It is Faison & he has Duke captive . And Duke really is alive after all…Didn’t expect that….Exciting!!!!!

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.
