Fans of General Hospital, always love when James performs at the Nurses Ball’ but now here, Stuart delivers several original songs with his unique vocal style that make it unmistakable JPS.
Check out a preview of the album below.
Now, let us know if you will be adding “Clean Slate” to your playlists and more via the comment section below.
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.
Soaphound
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.

‘General Hospital’s’ Kelly Thiebaud on Britt and Cassius Sibling Drama, But Who Will Ultimately Blow His Cover?
On the April 30 episode of General Hospital, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had some choice words and warning for her brother Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) who has been masquerading as his twin, the very dead, Nathan West.
As the story has unfolded, viewers learned that Britt knew all along that when “Nathan” showed up in Port Charles seemingly resurrected with a missing 7 years of his life unexplained, that Cassius was taking his place.
Now in developments on today’s GH, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is figuring out that this guy pretending to be Nathan is someone else, and Cassius learns from Britt, that Joss is not just a ditzy sorority girl as he claimed, but a WSB agent! The moment stuns Cassius. Are the walls about to close in on him and his charade?

Courtesy/ABC
Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest, about the story point and getting the opportunity this time back at GH to work with Ryan Paevey, when she hadn’t had the chance to before.
BROTHERLY LOVE?
Thiebaud expressed on sharing scenes with Ryan Paevey, “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him! When he first came onto the show (as Nathan at the end of 2013) I was kind of heading out — it was right towards the end of my contract, so we didn’t actually work together a ton. It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together. I think we have really great on-camera chemistry and banter with each other. I really enjoy working with him.”
With the stakes at an all-time, Thiebaud explained how she views her on-screen alter-ego’s involvement with her more hot-to-temper sibling and why Britt revealed the truth about Josslyn to him. “People finding out about Cassius would expose what she’s involved in and what she agreed to do,” explains Kelly “And now Josslyn is digging around, and she’s connected to Carly (Laura Wright) to Jason (Steve Burton) and that whole dynamic! It’s messy!”
BRITT’S MURKY FUTURE
Britt has currently also reached her breaking point with Jason being carted away by the WSB, Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) to protect her and Jason, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) being killed after trying to help her, and Cullum holding over her head getting her Huntington’s disease medication to control her symptoms, while blackmailing her into finishing the research on her father, Cesar Faison’s, final project. Thiebaud summed it up best for Britt right now, sharing, “It’s been a really tough time for her.”
So, who do you think will be the person to blow Cassius’ cover? Will it be Britt herself? Josslyn? Liesl? Brennan? Nina? Lulu? Rocco, Maxie, Cullum or someone else? Let us know your pick in the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Michael Reveals His Plan to Set Up Chase and Willow to Have an Affair
After the Wednesday, April 29 episode of General Hospital, it’s clear outside interference and other circumstances are set to blow Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) marriage sky high, as Michael (Rory Gibson) reveals his plans to entrap Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and use her relationship with Chase to do it!
In story, Michael dropped by unexpectedly to Carly’s (Laura Wright). A plotting Michael reveals his plan to nudge Willow and Chase into having an affair. Michael hopes it would create both a political and personal scandal, where Willow would lose her seat in congress. In the scenario, she would be having an affair with her ex-husband, while taking care of her supposed disabled husband, Drew (Cameron Mathison), who cannot speak and is confined to a wheelchair, which in turn will look horrible for Willow’s character.
Carly asked does he really want to destroy his cousin, Brook Lynn’s life in the process? Michael goes in on Chase’s holier than thou attitude, and says he is going to set-up the circumstances that would lead Chase and Willow to betray their spouses, and hit the sheets together. Michael swears to Carly what the two of them do is up to them, but he’s going to go on the offense with this.
MICHAEL HAS BACK-UP
Later, Jacinda (Paige Herschell) is talking with Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) at Crimson and how much she dislikes Willow because of what she has done to Michael. Just then, Michael shows up and tells Jacinda privately, he’s figured out a way to fight Willow. Looks like Jacinda might work with Michael to bring down Willow and use Chase as the person to do it!
At the hospital, Lucas (Van Hansis) tells Josslyn (Eden McCoy) that Carly is cheating on Jack, but he doesn’t know with who. Josslyn suddenly flashes back to the moment she found her mother harboring a fugitive, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), in her attic, and as figured out that her mother is sleeping with him. She heads out.

BRENNAN IS ABOUT TO LEARN ABOUT CARLY
Next thing you know, Josslyn has showed up inside Jack’s (Chris McKenna) hotel room at the Metro Court and when he enters his room, he is shocked to find her there. He lays into her for not keeping his distance and that Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) will have no problem killing her if he knows she’s WSB. Josslyn fires back that he is only concerned about that because his relationship with her mother depends on her being safe. But then, she lays the boom, and tells Jack, Well, you’re too late. You already lost her.”
LULU GETS A GLIMPSE OF CASSIUS’ TEMPER
In addition, Lulu (Alexa Havins) sees a different side of “Nathan.” Since she is unaware that the man before her is his twin, Cassius Fasion (Ryan Paevey), he tells her that Rocco (Finn Carr) blabbed that he shot Cullum to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), and now he thinks they should send him away to stop him from talking to everyone else. This concerns Lulu, who rails at Nathan for telling her what to do with her son and that she isn’t going to abandon him. With “Nathan’s” outburst at her on the matter, will she finally get a clue this is not the man she thinks it is?
So, what do you think of Michael’s plan to push Willow and Chase into an affair? Will it work or backfire? Do you think Joss will reveal that Valentin is the man sleeping with Carly to Brennan, which will send him in a rage? Will Lulu continue to be clueless about “Nathan?” Weigh-in via the comment section below. But first, take a look at the GH video tease for today’s April 30 episode.
