General Hospital
GH’s Nancy Lee Grahn to be Featured in Alexis-Centric Episode to Mark Her Upcoming 25 Years on the ABC Daytime Drama
She is a two Daytime Emmy-winning actress, and one of the best that has ever graced the soap genre, and now General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) will have an episode devoted to her, and her soap opera alter-ego, next week on the ABC daytime drama series.
The episode has been scheduled to air on Wednesday, April 7th.
Grahn will celebrate her 25th anniversary with GH in September, but as the imminent milestone draws near, and with Alexis in story getting ready to begin a three-year stint in Pentonville, it sets up plenty of drama for the former legal eagle of Port Charles; who has had an enduring battle with booze.
According to Nancy, who spoke with Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue on newsstands now, “I will say that she (Alexis) knows she can’t stop drinking unless she faces her life as it really is and not as she’s faked it thus far, and she is perhaps forcing a brutal bottom in order for her to rise again from the ashes.”
Viewers can look for Alexis to interact with many characters, plus a brand new character, and her on-screen daughters within the episode.
Grahn added to what fans will see, “I feel like this show is not so much about what Alexis discovers, but how that discovery and resolution will affect the heart of so many who watch it. I feel that many will relate in a personal way.”
So, excited to see the Alexis-centric episode featuring Nancy? Comment below.
Will it be related to A.A. or Rehab?
We’ve seen her at her best. We are saddened by her worst but Alexis is strong. I can’t wait to see this woman in action again.
Remember her little stint on Little House. Loving the Saloon Girl look. We love you Nancy. Bring Alexis back, strong,funny and although I miss her with Julian but Alexis and Finn would be interesting.
Nancy is such an amazing person on screen and off. I’ve enjoyed her on G.H. for so many years and look forward to seeing this episode!
She’s 65, take away 25 yrs on GH=40
That’s- 15 years shy of half her lifetime on GH–
To me, that’s weird to be on a soap for 25yrs
or in many cases More than that.
I could never stay in one job for that
length of time, I’d need to move onward.
But–
I really like Alexa and I’m glad that her character
is still going strong on GH–
_____ Big CONGRATS to Nancy!!!
Wishing her another 25!
Hmm… sorry, very odd comment. Myself, I do appreciate my very good pension after 25 years on the job.
It is an odd comment. As well as bad math. Half of 65 is 32.5. So 7.5 years short of half her lifetime. And in the world of acting, especially for a woman on a soap, it’s amazing. And if you add in her 8 years as Julia on Santa Barbara, she has spent half her life in 2 roles.
You sound just like my husband. Sometimes watching he starts sharing logical reasons to why a plot is off on reality. Well duh soaps for me great acting from the writers story not always parallel to life.
I do not like how the Writers wrote Alexis to be an alcoholic, yes I know that their is a lot of people who are women who drink and the story was written to reflect true life. She had her Sh*t together and then now. I find General Hospital has gotten worse over the past year and for me if I miss it I don’t care. So now that she will be sent to Pentonville Prison does this mean that Nancy Lee Grahn will be off the show for three years? I would have liked to seen her in a program for Alcoholics with her doing some kind of a treatment. With true programs out in the real world.
AGREE
I disagree with you
I’m with you on this, Joan. Nancy G. is a wonderful actress making the best of, to me, a poorly-used character. When she has a strong, non-repetitive story (like her Julian days) she excels but the alcoholism is wearing on my nerves. If it helps or inspires people, fine. That doesn’t make it interesting drama after so many times. And her life in Pentonville just bodes discomfort for me. Of course, I will be happy to be wrong about this! Here’s hoping.
Joan Stefanovits,
Hope I got your name right. My keyboard thinks it’s the boss. Iam sure we’ll see Alexis in Pentonville, as we have the others that have been there and still are.I also think you’ll get your wish seeing her do something constructive as that gal told her to do, that visited her to prepare her for prison life. Maybe, she needs to swear off men for a while, as it seems it’s been one after the other that led her to the bottle, starting with her father. For the past few years every time she got involved with someone seriously, she’d go back to drinking after the love affair ended.I liked her with Finn a lot, but never became serious, though I thought there were sparks there. I think that’s when Heyden came back with his daughter.
Meh! ‘Alexis’ has never been a character I liked…except when she was in scenes with Diane!
Not saying Nancy isn’t a good actor…she is…but ‘Alexis’ is not enjoyable for me.
I will watch the show with my finger on the FF button!
These stand-alone episodes rarely work—in my opinion. I know a lot of people like them, but they’re just a “lost day” since they don’t contribute anything to the ongoing storyline.
WOW! I’m sorry you feel that way BUT I respect your opinion! I LOVE Alexis and CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF HER storyline which I THINK could be a LOT BETTER!
Donna I agree with you..
I’d like to see GH use a little of their own history here and have more interaction between Alexis & Scott Baldwin. Because the last storyline this show had involving an alcoholic lawyer was Scotty’s father Lee. Lee is no longer around to talk to Alexis himself, so Scotty speaking from his experience of being raised by an alcoholic father would be the way to reference that history.
Yes, very good point about Lee Baldwin’s story. Scottie might have a few perspectives. He also witnessed his stepmom Gail, a beloved therapist at GH, feel helpless when it came to Lee’s alcoholism.
I would love to see Scott and Alexis interact more. I remember a time when they were chem testing or something with them lol. It was around the time Alexis was living across from Sonny.
Ms. Grahn is fantastic and does a marvelous job with whatever the show sends her way. I’m not a huge fan of Alexis’ constant suffering and bad choices so it will be interesting for me to see if the writers use this prison stint to have her face her demons and redirect her course toward more happiness.
And while we’re talking about NLG…When the heck is her book coming out? I keep bugging the people at B&N every time I need a new book to read. I’m really looking forward to reading it!
Best Wishes and Congratulations to Ms. Grahn on her up-coming 25th anniversary on GH!
Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Love Nancy Lee Grahn and her character of Alexis! I hope that her stay in Pentonville will not take her off the screen too much. I wish her and her loved ones health and blessings. May she have good support during the difficult things she is facing in real life.
I’m on board with an Alexis centric episode,but I think Anna Devane is due one, and so is Elisabeth. Has there been a Laura?
I feel like Laura has had many centric episodes in the past it just wasn’t flat out stated lol.
Nancy has played Alexis on the show nearly 25 consecutive years (no major breaks). Anna left for 20 years and Laura has come and gone numerous times for almost 45. Not saying they don’t deserve their own focus episodes, but only Sonny, Mac and Monica have been on the show more consecutive years (with only Sonny on contract longer) than Alexis.
I’d like to add that Becky Herbst has been there a solid 24 years.
Don’t bet your soul on an “Elizabeth centered” episode anytime soon.
How do I know this? Because Liz has been in Port Charles since 1996 and we still don’t even know who her mother is. Her father hasn’t been seen since 1981, her real sister has been completely forgotten, and the only thing the Valentini regime has used her for is to prop two of their newbies – first the “sister” nobody knew she had, then their pet “reformed” serial killer – who was supposed to be the same guy who kidnapped her youngest son when he was a newborn.
Not to mention they continue to pretend the true love of her life doesn’t even exist. And his name wasn’t Frodd “Baldwin”.
Frank Valentini doesn’t give a cherub’s pink ass about the real Elizabeth Webber
Nice to see so much love here for Nancy Lee Grahn — and Alexis! Grahn deserves the accolades and the Alexis-centric episode!
I am absolutely thrilled about this episode. I feel like I’ve waited 25 years for this…I’m 35….omg.
Nancy, you succeeded in “affecting my heart “ with your exceptional performance today as Alexis who, with the help of Dr. Kevin Collins, looked back on how her mother and Stavros Cassadine’s relationship affected her life. Even with other sad events on GH this was the first time I was moved to tears. Sorta reminded me of another real life Greek magnate, Onassis, and his opera singer lady without the violence. It also made me reflect on why I thought Helena’s character could be a “fun” villain. Don’t mess with the original Cassadines, especially the wife who was scorned. Very evil and dangerous.
Stavros was her half-brother. Mikkos was her pops.
E…Thank you for the correction. I realized it later, but it’s almost as fun to see if another commenter will make sure I got it right.
One has to love Alexis . She is a strong woman in many ways although she has her faults. Who doesn’t ? No one is perfect. She loves her family with all her heart. She will find her way out of the “alcohol” mess she found herself in recently. No wonder she turned to alcohol. Look what happened for her with the last two men in her life. Also, look how she is helping people in jail . She gave advice to the woman who was going up for parole and told Sean to go for it to help find the real killer instead of lingering in jail taking the blame.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Ava Tie the Knot With Drew?

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!
Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.
Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?
At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.
Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.
Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?
Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.
Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.
You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.
Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”
Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR
Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.
Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.
Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.
At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.
WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?
Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.
Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.
So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
