GH’s Rebecca Herbst Thanks Fans for the Birthday Love
She is not often on social media, but when she does show up, it delights so many of her enduring fans. General Hospital’s Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth), who yesterday celebrated her birthday on May 12th, took to Twitter to share warm ‘thank you’s’ to a few fan factions who sent her some lovely gifts in honor and support of their favorite soap star.
Herbst expressed: “Yesterday was such a beautiful day! THANK YOU for all your sweet Birthday messages! #Friz & #Liason showered me with the most gorgeous flowers, cakes & goodies. And #Friz donated $2500 to #SmileTrain. I felt very loved. I’m so grateful for each & every one of you. …XO”
Of course, the Friz fans loved Liz with Franco (Roger Howarth) and the Liason fans are those who love Liz with Jason (Steve Burton).
Now with Roger Howarth returning to the show – in what is at this juncture still a mystery as who he will play – will Rebecca be paired with Roger in story again, or not this time? Do you think Liz might end up romantically with Finn (Michael Easton), or is there still a chance that down the line Liz and Jason could get back together, or could Liz meet someone new? Only time will tell!
For now, Herbst was thankful for the money donated to the Smile Train charity and all the wonderful gifts and messages that came her way.
So, what did you think of Becky’s thank you message? Who are you hoping Liz winds up with romantically in the future? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Love Becky, she’s always so appreciative of the fans and never fails to thank us. I’m glad she loved the flowers and Smile Train donation, she deserves to be celebrated, every year.
I’m still very hopeful for Friz, I think Roger and Becky have the most electric onscreen chemistry I’ve ever seen, and I can’t see at this point how Roger can come
back as anyone but Franco, given where we are in his murder story and the timeframe… BUT I’m a BeckyFF and always will be, so I’m just hopeful for some good story to come Elizabeth’s way, no matter the pairing.
She’s a warm and generous woman and deserves accolades all on her own but honestly I’ve have never been so enamoured with a pairing on a show, prime time or daytime Friz captured my heart with heir playful and romantic stories as well as the mysteries they had the opportunity to share. I’m hoping the writers are exercising their creative imagination and return hm as Franco
I love Rebecca, wish she had more air time, I cringe every time I see Carly inserted in every storyline, while Rebecca’s Elizabeth gets less airtime then non contract players, its really messed up. Still, when she’s on she’s magical, Happy Birthday Rebecca.
She is a living person I do not think it ever enters her mind I be jealous or vindictive like I said she is a good soul so take the scenes you get with her abs appreciate it why do you think RH wanted to work with her? They all love her so she is the winner no matter if she has story or not
Happy (Belated) Birthday!
I am sooo happy she’s on GH! Hope she remains there for many more years to come and enjoys it.
Becky is the very definition of love and grace. She deserves every bit of any accolades coming her way.
As a LizFF, I’ve loved almost all her pairings at one time or another. I would probably be up for a Liz/Rogers nu character pairing because they really did generate the best chemistry, but otherwise, new character for me. Finn is her sisters baby daddy, Finn is still clearly in love with Anna, I dont want Liz to be second choice. Mostly I just want Liz to have a story about HER, not her love interest, not her kid, not nurse #3. She got no POV about her husband dying. This has got to change. BH is a wonderful actress, has a large fanbase and the fact that TPTB refuse to give her anything to sink her teeth into, is a mistake on their part.
I think she is wonderful !!! God bless her soul !
Have you ever heard of one person that did not want to work with her?? Answer no so she is a good soul I have never heard a unkind word out of her mouth if she was my employee I would give her the moon !
Under this new writing regime this past year or so, Elizabeth has continously served as a plot point for other people’s stories. From her rekindled friendship/”flirtation” with Nikolas as means of building story for Nava to worrying about and wrongfully accusing Jason of having killed her husband. By the way, on what planet would Franco and Elizabeth be okay with their spouses kissing others or that Elizabeth wouldn’t visit Jason in prison to clarify her doubts? These past few years, Elizabeth has become increasingly isolated as a character. People in her life have either died, left town, or are hardly on the show to begin with (Franco, Lucky, Emily, Robin, Patrick, Epiphany, Hayden, Felix, Sabrina, etc…) People she normally had significant connections with in the past, whether they were friends or frenemies, she really hardly has any scenes with them anymore (Nikolas, Jason, Carly, Maxie, and Sam). She now mainly has short scenes with Laura or scenes with Finn where Elizabeth serves as a sounding board. In order for her to be a viable character once again, the writers need to rebuild old and new connections so that Elizabeth is once again a part of a story and we’ll gain more insight into her own thoughts and POV. Right now, Elizabeth appears a two-dimensional character who doesn’t appear to even mourn her husband who just died, outraged that her son pulled a gun on a police officer or concerned that he’s throwing away an opportunity to attend a very prestigious college. Until Elizabeth is seen having meaningful interactions with others, what’s the point of giving her a new love interest? She will only be used to prop her love interest. As an Elizabeth and Rebecca Herbst fan, it has been very frustrating watching GH this past year. Elizabeth is a character that’s been on the show 24 years and many of us want to see her as an integral part of the canvas once again. Once that’s established, hopefully she will be in story with a new love interest that’s well written and will honour her history on the show.
You are beautiful, Rebecca–inside and out. Happy, Happy Birthday and a million more!!
Rebecca shines as Liz, as well–if only she were given the chance to recapture her life, instead of so much drama and trauma thrown her way.
I appreciate her steadfast love for Franco. If his return is definite; I so hope he will reappear as Franco again by some kind of Divine Providence.
Perhaps Elizabeth will be the heroine and connect all the dots leading to Cyrus’ and Peter’s dastardly deeds. Will she uncover Elijah as a part of Cyrus’ corrupt circle?

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.
