I have to say, they have found the perfect screen partner for Finola Hughes. They definitely have chemistry. He’s a very good singer too!

They deleted my previous comment wishing J.P.S well on his new album, but also warning him off Anna. She’s a very nice person but her relationships have not worked out so well.

I wish I DID like this pairing, Violet, but I just don’t feel it. I liked Valentin with Nina and that’s about it. With Anna, he seems like a high school science geek drooling over the head cheerleader. It’s not a good look.

I agree, that’s why I was warning him off Anna. As I said, she’s a nice person but has that black widow spider vibe going and we all know what they do to their mate. Actually, I can’t see him with anyone but Nina. I also can’t wait to see that whole mess explode, and hopefully Valentin sees Sonny in N.Y and they all come back to P.C Iam sure a lot of us will be dissappointed who ends up with whom.

Violet and Soaphound…I figure Anna and especially Valentin can get caught up in the moment and have temporary romantic feelings. And like Soaphound said, he may be acting out on his unfulfilled romance with Anna way back when. But I can only see Anna with Duke or Robert, and Valentin with Nina. As for Nina, she’s hop skipped around since coming to Port Charles, never settling long term with any one guy. Strangely I like her with “Mike,” but this will be doomed by her lie of omission when Sonny gets his memory back. And for Sonny, of course the Carly/Jason drama waiting for him when he gets back home. But who knows… maybe he will remember he was a better and happier man as Mike with Phyliss and Lenny as true friends, and forgive Nina. Can he incorporate Mike and bad boy Sonny together? Jason will go back to Brit. And Carly…I don’t care.

I have mixed feelings concerning Valentin.I like him sometimes and others, not so much, depending on what he’s up to. Iam kind of liking him and Brook Lynn now,and waiting for how terrible it will be when he finds out that baby is not his.I do not like he and Anna as a couple.

Oh Rose, can’t you just hear Carly’s clumping shoes when she confronts Nina? And then she’ll proceed to ban her from ever seeing Wiley again. No doubt Nina will then need to get the courts involved. Such drama! I’m so fed up with this stupid “secret” of why Carly and Jason are getting hitched. Spinelli can figure it out but Michael, Jax, Josslyn, Monica, Britt, and especially Super Sleuth Sam are clueless. Right.

I suspect this album isn’t the only way old Val has been keeping busy lately. I think he’s the one who took Heiny’s body out of the freezer & stashed it somewhere.

Val was completely in charge of the Cassadine “empire” for a few years, while Nikolas was playing dead (and before he found out he wasn’t Mikkos’ kid after all). During that time, I’m sure he read up on all of Helena’s secret projects over the years, which would have included the not-so-secret basement laboratory at GH.

Val was obviously very suspicious about what Heiny was up to, during his last weeks up there on your side of Earth’s crust, and he seemed to be hanging around GH during a lot of that time, while “coincidentally” you have a patient (Chase) with some bizzare “mystery illness”. Val – as both a former spy and as a Helena offspring – knows something is up with that! Perhaps he might have even assumed Heiny was using the basement lab himself. Which wouldn’t have been out of the question, since he has a track record of doing business with Helena in the past. Given the level of dust & cobwebs in the basement, this would prove to be a false assumption, of course. But there’s still a working freezer down there….. now what could that be used for?

And of course, should Heiny suddenly disappear from the planet, Val might think Anna was resposnible for his disappearance. So when he removed Heiny’s body from the freezer, he did so, believing he was “protecting” Anna. Will he admit to her that he has the body, once he realizes she had nothing to do with Heiny’s death??

Love your theory but I always thought those freezers could not be opened from the inside.

Well, now that you mention it, I never saw anybody lock or unlock the freezer with a key, so it might not have ever been locked. But no, Heiny is still in Hell, so his body didn’t get up out of the freezer and walk away.

Val acted liked he was totally shocked when Anna told him the story, so maybe it wasn’t him – as he would have no reason to lie to Anna about it now. So if it wasn’t him, who would be likely to mess around with secret labs & dead bodies.

Faison & Helena are also both still dead and here in Hell, so it’s not them. Only two suspects seem likely, that being the case.

Liesel Obrecht – she might have taken Heiny’s body just to make sure he was dead, but also to do some of her own brand of mad scientist research on the corpse, thinking she could work on a cure for Huntington’s Disease, as Heiny would be a likely genetic match for Britch.

The other suspect would be Anna’s twin sister Alex. Most mortals assume she’s dead. I don’t, because she never came to Hell (and she definitely would not have gone the other direction) The cameras to the basement were off at the time, and if Alex was picked up on security video anywhere else in the hospital, nobody would question it, and just assume it was Anna, who seems to visit the building at least once a week, for any number of reasons.

How she would have removed Heiny from the basement… that’s a whole other story. But remember, there IS another way out of that lab. During the original lab story some 20 years ago, Stavros left through a trap door in the floor which Luke & the others who were after him assumed was some sort of “bottomless pit”. Since Stavros did end up as a popsicle again, it must have been a long way down. At least then. But if Helena could build the entire lab unseen directly underneath a busy hospital, then she (or somebody affiliated with her) might have just have easily built a new escape tunnel which connects with that trap door.

So whether it’s Liesl, Alex, or some unseen Cassadine family member, it’s possible that somebody took Heiny’s body out through a tunnel that’s underneath the sub basement. And where would such a tunnel go? Well, if anybody affiliated with the Cassadines built it, that would probably mean it joined up with those old catacombs that somehow manage to stay intact underneath whatever body of water it is that surrounds Spoon Island, and end somewhere right around the Windemere stables.

Nikolas is living in the old family homestead again, so you would think that he would notice if he had uninvited guests running around the estate…. or possibly taking up space in his own freezer, in Heiny’s case. But then, he’s been way too distracted worrying about his divorce and the fact that Shawn Butler is now out of prison & looking to nail the person who put him there…. which of course was Nick himself.

Satan, Wow,Wow and Wow you covered it all especially Alex. I never believed she died, and that was mostly because Anna was so adamant that she had killed her. So, my money is on her.

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

Published

By

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.
