GH’s Lisa LoCicero Delivers The ‘Power Performance of the Week’
Let’s just make this official as we tweeted about it last week when these scenes aired on Tuesday. And let’s just say, that Lisa LoCicero (Olivia) could very well receive another Daytime Emmy nomination next year in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, if these moments are part of her reel. LoCicero was previously nominated in 2015 in this category.
Now on to that performance that had everyone a-buzz on social media after it aired. In the scenes, Robert (Tristan Rogers) has worked his WSB contacts to get Olivia to Geneva to secretly see her son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), who is suffering from severe trauma and PTSD and is at this facility for treatment. After traveling half way around the world to get there, with anticipation and wanting to hold her son and be there for him – when she arrives the doctor (Christopher Cousins) tells Dante his mother is here to see him, but Dante refuses to let that happen.
When the doctor tells Olivia that Dante will not open the door to his room to talk to his mom and come face-to-face with her, she goes into momma bear mode, releasing such heartache and anguish, just wanting to see Dante, but she is met with a steely shut door instead. But as viewers saw, the scenes were made all the more poignant by the split screen; where Dante is on the other side of the door – heartbroken hearing his mother’s cries. Dominic Zamprogna, who is always stellar, was also moving in these moments.
However, it was LoCicero’s ability to call up such deep rooted love and pain for her child, that any parent could relate to, which broke our hearts, rang so true, and showcased Lisa.
Later in the week, we also see how Liv was there for Robert in return – and the two are now off on a mission of their own to find Holly (if she is indeed very much alive) which is sure to put a further wedge in her marriage to Ned (Wally Kurth). That begs the questions, too. How would you feel about a Robert and Olivia pairing…or would you be rooting for Olivia and Ned to work through their issues?
Through it all, it was Lisa LoCicero who grabbed our attention, brought out the hankies for all of us, and truly compelled the audience. For all of these reasons, Michael Fairman TV names Lisa’s work The Power Performance of the Week.
So, what did you think of Lisa in these scenes with Dominic? In case you missed them, you can check them out below, then share your thoughts in the comment section.

Robert is an agent and could find Holly on his own if he had to. Also, doesn’t Olivia have responsibilities at home like a child, a husband and a job? Searching for Dante I totally understand. But running off with Robert in search of Holly, NO
Liv has the same babysitter as Sam and Jason!
I am going to say it: since returning from the pandemic-mandated break, Lisa LoCicero has been delivering, on a consistent basis, her best work in the role of Olivia, and I can only hope it will continue! Kudos to her; her Emmy is coming!
I would have selected Sharon Case from Y & R.
Sharon, hands down! Olivia on GH yells her lines too much!
I missed most of Olivia’s scenes because I FF’d them. I’m sure Lisa is a lovely person, but I can not stand Olivia. Her whiny voice is most annoying, and all her scenes are overacted. Better direction would help, I’m sure!
LiLo has been on fire since the show returned in early August. The scenes with Dante at the door were icing on the cake.
The show will probably go down a heavy flirtation route with Olivia and Robert (as LiLo is a longtime fan of Tristan), but Olivia needs the Quartermaines and they need her. For the past 6 weeks, she and Ned have played a classic soap plot of a happily married couple facing obstacles. They’ve quickly become a favorite couple to watch.
Lisa LoLicero is fantastic. Always delivers.
I thoroughly agree. Lisa was absolutely wonderful. Only a mother would understand her pain and knowing her child was suffering the same too, only a few inches away. For one thing this woman is as loving and compassionate as can be. She is not phoney and tells it like it is. Should she be with Robert, I don’t think so. I’d rather see her work it out with Ned. Robert is a sweetheart but let him be that with some other woman, probably his ex Holly, which he acts like was the love of his life, and I thought all these years it was Anna.
Make Ned and Olivia a stronger pillar couple. Don’t make them boring, but give them rich stories and a great life at the center of Port Charles society. The actors are so engaging. The over-the-top drama and plot lines wear thin, and Olivia and Ned help ground it.
When I think Robert and Olivia, I think “odd couple” but they are great together .Am loving their scenes in Monte Carlo, what a pair! I like her and “Nedski” but he looks now even more stodgier than usual. He’s so rich, influential, etc. Why can’t they give him more swagger, like Jax for instance.
Emmly time!
Boy this week with Robert and his spitfire sidekick was pretty exciting. I remember that rotten Rudge guy when he was Julian’s older sister Olivia’s henchman. Still as creepy as ever! Iam surprised that Scorpio gave up that easily just because they were told they found Holly’s ring on a dead body. Doesn’t mean it was her body.Could be anyone’s body,maybe Cassandra’s. Hopefully he was biding his time to check it out further. There seemed to be total acceptance from Holly’s son too, so that is wierd also.

Jon Lindstrom and Cady McClain Announce They Have Ended Their Marriage
After much speculation, General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) and Cady McClain (ex-Jennifer, DAYS, ex-Rosanna, ATWT, ex-Dixie, AMC et al) have officially confirmed and announced they have gone their separate ways and have ended their marriage.
For months on social media, it was clear that the two were seemingly apart, not appearing pictured in any of each others posts.
Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart. After serious consideration we have decided that our goals have been taking us in different directions and to end our marriage.”

As to the future, Jon and Cady explained, “We remain friends and wish each other every happiness. As people who work in the public eye, it can be difficult to have a private life. Regardless, we ask for your kind consideration in this matter.”
Jon and Cady met when they both appeared on As the World Turns, he as Craig Montgomery, and she as Rosanna Cabot. After four years together, the couple decided to get married in 2014.

Adam Huss Makes Another Return to General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine
Nikolas Cassadine will be back on your screens next week but now via Pentonville. That means, that actor Adam Huss is back for a visit for all-new episodes of General Hospital.
In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.
Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support. I don’t take it for granted for a second! (Even when I can’t answer 😊) #generalhospital”

Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.
So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other
The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.
Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).
When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.
Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.
What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
