GH’s John J. York On If Cody Turns Out to Be Mac’s Son: “It Would Certainly Change Things, and Would That Be a Good Thing or a Bad Thing for His Family?”

From the looks of it, Mac Scorpio (John J. York) is certainly questioning whether it could just be possible that he is the bio-dad of Cody Bell (Josh Kelly).

Mac was not-to-pleased to learn that Cody was supposedly the biological son of Leopold Taub and the late Dominque Stanton.  After all, Mac was romantically linked to Dominique while she was in a loveless marriage to Taub.   Back in the day, after all the turmoil that Dominique endured including being committed to Shadybrook, thanks to Taub, she was reunited with Mac only things went south when Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) was around.

Clearly, Cody arriving in Port Charles has a lot to do with figuring out his parentage, especially after he has already had an altercation with Scott (Kin Shriner).  In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, John J. York weighs-in on what would happen if it turns out Cody is Mac’s son.

York expressed: “It’s like a puzzle that he’s putting together in his mind, thinking about what his own relationship with Dominique was, thinking about what a bad guy Leopold was.”

John also added, “Mac has a lot of questions.  At this point, he doesn’t know anything for sure.  But if it was true, it would certainly change things – and would that be a good thing or a bad thing for his family? Mac Just doesn’t know.”

So, do you think Mac is Cody’s real father given the timeline?  Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Since they’re clearly trying to force Cody down our throats whether we like him or not… and by this Devil’s reading, most of us do not…. then Port Charles #1 rule of course is… “mysterious newbie HAS to be related to a core character somehow”.

Well, we know Dominique is his mom (assuming he’s telling the truth about anything) and that Katherine Bell was his adopted sister. But they’re both dead, and neither is likely to return. Nor is Leopold Taub… whom Cody assumes is his father.

So we need a living relative. Technically Serena is his half sister, but she’s not likely to return either. (Apparently only interested in saving European whales)

By process of elimination, that leaves the only other man in Port Charles (other than Scotty) who knew Dominique in the biblical sense. And that would be Mac Scorpio.

And with Mac as his daddy, look at all the extended family he instantly gets as a result. Felicia… Maxie… Robert… Robin… Emma (if we ever see her again)

Not a bad trick for a pointless character who nobody would ever give two shakes of a demon’s tail about, if he weren’t related to anybody.

You have my blessing here, my friend. The character is not only pointless but seems incapable of any facial expressions beyond staring and/or being totally pleased with himself. Poor Britt/Kelly, trying to bring some energy to their deadening scenes.

Soaphound
I tend to agree.what bothers me is this going back and forth, which we’ve seen a million times, with the girl falling for the guys charms in the end anyway. That’s what I feel is happening with these two, with all the sparring, he’ll win her over.

I feel the opposite. I don’t understand how Kelly is being directed for those scenes. It’s a time-honored tradition that in that sort of Sam-and-Diane style bantering/bickering there is a lightness under all the cutting remarks that she is not providing. I think Kelly is fantastic in general but find her off-putting in these scenes while Josh seems like he’s trying too hard, if that makes sense. They haven’t found their balance yet, in my opinion.

Violet & Sonni.., I think we’re all finding the story direction inconsistent. First, I thought Cody was another spawn of Faison. Then I thought he was manipulating Britt for some unknown nefarious purpose. Now he might be Mac’s son? Frankly, I’ve lost interest in all the possibilities.

The only way a good story can come from it__
If Cody is Faison’s son and that would get dr O in a twitch and Britt would have a brother..
Faison was an awesome character and missed, he brought the thrill and drama…. If Cody is lackluster Mac’s son = a sleeper.

SuOOO
Hi Su, the fist time he was so inquisitive with Britt got me wondering if he was indeed, Faison’s son, otherwise why all the interest and then questions about Peter. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, right?

the arrival of Josh Kelly has been a good thing. I hope he is around for a long time

I love Josh Kelly’s character on GH! I hope he is Mac’s son.

I think josh is great! I have found myself really enjoying the episodes he is in. I hope he is there long term.

Was this actor brought in to fill the void Steve Burton left. If so,it is failing. Why did we need another “new character”? Why couldn’t ABC use the money and recast Lucky or bring back Dr. Steven Webber?

What’s the point of this character. Still dont care for the character even if he is related to the Scorpios.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

Cameron Mathison Previews New Game Show ‘Beat The Bridge’ (Promo)

As previously reported, Cameron Mathison (Drew, General Hospital) will be seen doing double duty this summer when he premieres in June as the host of Game Show Network’s Beat The Bridge.

Now, while Cameron will be the host with the most, that doesn’t mean he will stop playing GH’s Drew.  In fact, Mathison taped the game show in 2023, so it will now air for the first time in 2024.

Taking to his Instagram this week, Cameron shared his enthusiasm and some new hosting snaps, sharing, “Our newest game show host reporting for duty😎 Head over to the Game Show Network YouTube channel for your first look at the show and don’t miss Beat The Bridge premiering this June! I can’t wait for you guys to see this!”

In Beat The Bridge, an enormous interactive bridge dares players to cross by stepping on the right answers to challenging trivia questions. As they play, each steps forward and puts money in their team’s bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. Here’s the catch: the team gets to keep the money only if it can “beat the bridge” by returning one of its players back across before time expires.

Meanwhile, on GH, Drew and Nina (Cynthia Watros) recently had hate-sex. Do you think its a one-time deal? Where will Drew’s story take him next under new head writers, Patrick Mulcahey and Elizabeth Korte? Stay tuned.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
