General Hospital
‘Good Trouble’ and ‘Cruel Summer’ Canceled by Freeform: Is it Time for GH to Resurrect Morgan Corinthos?
More cancellations have been handed out following the writers and actors strikes. Now comes word that the Disney-owned young adult-oriented cable channel, Freeform, pink-slipped two of its most-known series.
Good Trouble will now finish after the back-half of its upcoming fifth season. Executives in charge of the series wanted to give the writers and producers time to come up with more scenes for an extra-length series finale episode to finish up on a high note. The second half premieres on January 2nd.
Cruel Summer has been canned after two seasons. Both series were the last remaining scripted originals for the cable channel. The show featured two very familiar faces to daytime audiences: Sean Blakemore (Ex-Shawn Butler, General Hospital) and Lisa Yamada (Luna, The Bold and the Beautiful).

The Fosters spinoff, Good Trouble followed the 20-something residents of the Los Angeles co-living space, The Coterie. One of the executive producers on the series and the current showrunner has been Joanna Johnson (ex-Caroline and Karen, The Bold and the Beautiful).
In what now will be Good Trouble’s final season, in story, and according to Deadline, “The roommates are set to face their toughest obstacles yet as they’re confronted with evolving relationship challenges and new career opportunities. Through highs and lows, romance and heartbreak, The Coterie crew will lean on each other while they navigate the next stage of adulthood.”
Former General Hospital favorite and Daytime Emmy-winner, Bryan Craig (ex-Morgan Corinthos) is one of the stars of the series. The question becomes with news of this cancellation, would GH finally entertain the notion of having Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) son, Morgan come back from the dead?

Could it be that Morgan never really died back in 2016 following a car bombing? Craig last appeared on the ABC daytime drama series back in 2018, when Morgan showed up in Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) dream. If anything could truly bring Carly and Sonny back together, might it be that the son that died and that caused a rift in their marriage (pre-Nina, of course), turned out to be alive?

Do you think General Hospital should work out a long term or short term deal for Bryan Craig to resurrect his signature soap role, if he is available? What about Sean Blakemore? He also won a Daytime Emmy for his work back in 2016 on the ABC soap. Back in early 2022, Blakemore announced he was departing GH citing “other obligations.” Should Shawn also makes his way back to Port Charles? As for Yamada, she is safely over at B&B in her new role as Luna, and as a love interest for RJ. Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Yes, I would be on board for that. Why? By reading the many comments on this site… It feels GH has many new viewer who are not “update” on the shows history… so sure, re- write his exit from 2016, as he was a fan favorite, and hopefully he’ll stay on longer this time..
Myself… been a viewer since a betamax arrived in my home back 1978.
Loved good trouble since the fosters ended. I hate that they are ending this sries
Good Trouble was over the day the main character left the show. Yeah, I get that she hadn’t seen her family in Australia since COVID, but that’s what the time off between seasons is for.
No need for Morgan right now. There are plenty of characters and story lines already in progress. Sonny is already involved in a bunch of stories. And “coming back from the dead” has been done to death, if you’ll pardon the expression. On the other hand, Shawn Butler might jump start Alexis since she and Gregory are in the friend zone. And he could play a role in getting Nikolas to return, since they have a complicated and unresolved history. But again, he’s not really needed at this specific moment, maybe after some of the current stories resolve.
We know the feb sweeps are happening meaning they need new plots bringing back those 2 would be awesome because we need new story lines for sonny and carly the main characters of the show plus new men for all the single ladies out there need to get rid of Nina she’s herself is not as charming as the last nina we had
Take into consideration
Bryan Craig may not want to return GH…….
Just because he’s free does not mean he wants to go back to GH..
I believe he does not want to return to a soap……
it would be a step down for him, he seems to be doing well doing what he’s doing..
I doubt he’d accept the pay he was getting and GH doesn’t have the budget to pay
what he is worth…. imo.
He only wanted back on General Hospital / daytime when he couldn’t land a primetime / film job, and was trying to beg to be hired somewhere.
You are insulting daytime and also assuming the actor was making tons more monies elsewhere. Take that into consideration
One way or another, Morgan Corinthos needs to be back in Port Charles. Other than Jason (who also needs to return) Morgan might be the only one who can wake his father up from this Tricky Dick Nixon Falls nightmare that he’s been living in for the past three years, despite supposedly getting his memory back.
With all these enemies running around right now, Sonny can’t be walking around with half his brain tied behind his back. And one of those enemies is literally sleeping in his bed, and he doesn’t even realize it.
Morgan Corinthos might return but…
not played by Bryan Craig
If that was to be I’d be OK with that..
They already had the opportunity for a Morgan recast with “Dex”. And apparently passed on that, unless you want to go with the outrageous idea that somebody would hate Sonny & Carly enough to program their son to bang his own little sister.
Nina is truly in love with Sonny….and Nina simply reported Carly for committing a federal crime, ——-dirty deeds Carly had Drew do her time the same as Carly had Jason take all the blame for all her dirty deeds.
No matter, from day one, the game has been Carly and Sonny back together for their 4-5 wedding…Waite for it—
And Nina and Valentin are the end game..
Nina doesn’t need an endgame. She just needs to end.
My dog Cerberus could use a new chew toy for Xmas.
Yes I do
No. Morgan can stay dead, especially where Bryan Craig is concerned. His behaviour towards fans and daytime, as a whole, still leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Sean Blakemore, however, would be a warm welcome back into General Hospital. Shawn’s tenure was way too short last go’round!
Yes, bring Morgan back and Sean back! It would be awesome to have them both back on GH! Morgan could take over Sonny’s business down the line. Sean is such a a good enforcer and could also work for Sonny!
This is why I was thinking “Dex” was a facially-reconstructed Morgan recast, until they made that problematic by hooking him up with Josslyn. As an aging “coffee importer”, Sonny has to be thinking about who he trains to take over the business. He’s tried to keep his kids out of it, but with Jason still “missing” there’s not really any other option. If Dex had turned out to be Morgan, at least he would have had some “on the job training”… though I don’t think he’s all that good at the job honestly. Most of the problems Sonny’s currently dealing with would have been noticed months ago if Jason were on the job.
Sean Blakemore should return as his character Shawn and become a new love interest for Ava Jerome.
Morgan should only return in the (hopefully long off) case of the show being cancelled. Sonny has too many kids on the canvas. If Michael wasn’t a Q, I’d be up for swapping his boring character for Morgan – but no. Dante, Michael, Kristina on contract are quite enough for now. If the sticks around for another decade, with Avery and Donna aging, it becomes “All My Corinthos”.
Blakemore is a fine actor, but they didn’t write for Shawn last time. A short term return might be fine (exploring some conflict with Marshall for Shawn killing Tommy). There has to be a long term arc if they bring him back fulll time.
Agree — but I do want Morgan back at GH. Fingers crossed; he isn’t Sonny’s son. (Come on! At this point, Nick Cannon has nothing on Sonny Corinthos!)
I personally feel like they have waited to long to bring Morgan back.. I think they need to bring Lucky back regardless of who plays him because they destroyed his character. Lucky would never have abandoned his children and no face-time is not count. This is why Cam had a hard time with Franco all he knew was men never stayed around, they need to get Lucky back fighting for his relationship with his sons before they ever trying to give him a love interest. If JJ won’t come back I think Daniel Clark would make a great Lucky.
One of Laura’s children needs to be on full time in 2024. Nikolas adds the most value to the canvas, Lulu, if written correctly (and played by Julie Berman) could add much drama. Lucky may be interesting, but being gone so long would be the longshot on returning.
GH definitely needs to bring back the Spencers, but I’m not sure it would have the same impact if it were all recasts. They do need to fix Lucky’s character from that crying, pill popping, abandoned his family on Xmas Eve mess that Garin Wolf turned him into in 2011, and his brief return in 2015 didn’t help much, because that was drowned out by the ridiculousness of Luke’s “exit storyline” and to a lesser degree, making Lucky an accomplice in Elizabeth’s attempt to keep Jason’s identity a secret… and of course he turned out not to be Jason anyway.
If it’s not Jonathan Jackson in the role though, I don’t think any such “redemption” of the character would seem authentic. Daniel Clark?? As in Degrassi High? Not sure about that one. Should they bring in Paige Michalchuck as the new Lulu too? (yes, we get Canadian TV in Hell)
Absolutely

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.
