Grease is the word! Everyone has been talking about the 3-hour outstanding performance of the cast and crew that brought Grease: Live to life on FOX on Sunday night.

The ambitious production drew an average of 12.2 million viewers, led by the performances of Aaron Tveit (Danny), Vanessa Hudgens (Rizzo), and Julianne Hough (Sandy).

One of the more notable songs from the motion picture version, “You’re The One That I Want”  which includes the words “electrifying” which was included in the telecast was spoofed on Monday by the Corinthos men of General Hospital!

In a posting on Maurice Benard’s Instagram, Chad Duell (Michael), Bryan Craig (Morgan) and Maurice (Sonny) belt out a refrain, well sort of, from Grease: Live!

Watch the guys after the jump! Then, let us know if you got a kick out of it … and which actor 🙂 would you cast in production of Grease ....  and if you watched Fox’s Grease: Live last night!

to fun!

Is this a toast?
I am so bored by Curly, Larry and Mo right now.

Wooooooooo Woooooo Wooooooo!

I second that

Luvs Sonny/Maurice! He is a fun guy.. 🙂

ohhh and, without John Travolta, Grease just was not right, it was good but not right lol

Love the sense of humor. I would have loved to have seen dome of Maurice’s moves…..he’s got them!!

Some, not done.

CeeCee’s got chills [For Sonny] their multiplying, and shes losing control, by the power Maurice is supplying, its ELECTRIFYING! ELECTRIFYING! [Your husband says] “You better shape up, cause you have a man, and my heart is set on you, You better shape up, you better understand, to my heart you must be true!” Oooooo Ooooo O!

Thanks for that, my Timmmbo!!!! Best compliment you could have given me. You are a groundbreaker, my love. Lol.
No worries, though. Jude knows he’s the one and only for me. We fit…a little kidding around doesn’t hurt!! HaHa. Can you imagine my falling for Sonny? Right! When elephants next in trees!!
I loooove this. Looove you. Soon.

Nest, not next.

Hey, CeeCee…’when elephants nest in trees’…LMAO!!!!! Guess what…I’m still laughing!!!!! BTW, CeeCee, it’s too bad that you’re not a female comic (or whatever). I mean…some of your posts are so comical…and you make me LOL!!!!! Thank You.

Later.

Thank you, Jay. My jokes are king of corny. And, much of my speechifying comes from old Scotland; thanks to my Nanna and Granda. You should meet my husband, he really is funny. I cannot compare to Harry. Timmm or to jimh. Later, my friend.

Wow! All three of them should quit GH and head straight to Broadway! Is there no end to their talent?!

AWww, Lil’ Angel…I know, I know. But, it’s a spoof….a charicature of themselves. These three are known to put on a silly, stupid, immature act….all in fun. While I want to shoot Sonny with my eyes through the screen; as I said, I do get Maurice’s and ‘gang’ twisted humor. My brain sort of works the same way.
But, I do appreciate your sarcasm. Later.

None of them match Aaron Tveit’s performance. Aaron sang the songs better than Travolta did!

No waaayyy…John and Olivia ARE the number one Danny and Sandy…tv live stage version was ok and i liked the diversity in the casting and i did enjoy-best part was the dancing but the movie version is far more superior!-Why its greased lightning…lol

Say it again, Jimmy!!

Oh, my! That’s like saying a two-bit artist paints LA GIOCONDA ( Mona Lisa) better than da Vinci. John Travolta and Olivia Newton John are a classic couple with a classic song.

It was cool. I liked it. They seem to be close and having fun. Thats what life is all about. We throw anger at these guys characters all the time but this reminds us they are human and all three seem to be good guys.

Exactly, Timmm. They are human. As for myself, anyone with a sense of humor is welcome at my table. Anyone who can take a moment in time and monkey around to remind us to laugh at ourselves and appreciate the world’s laughter is food for the soul. A few years ago, my husband dressed up as Rizzo for Halloween. We laugh, we cry, we argue, we love. Later, babes.

I would cast Morgan! (Brian)

Michael : ” the “power” most supplying”

Bryan : ” most supplying”

Maurice : ” it’s electrifying”

is this a spoof … in any way supporting… the Corinthos’ MEN hum drum

one of two things

damage control…. ( ie: Maurice Benard and Laura Wright last interview ! blech! )
don’t bite the hand that feeds you ?

this is not the best part of GH… in any way shape or form

the scene in the coffee warehouse… by the docks / waterfront

Sonny / Carly / Morgan

i’m dumbfounded…

there they go again… Carly and Sonny

Carly is in Morgans face…. about his lack of professionalism… he’s their son… he has no respect… according to Sonny for Carly…

once again… Morgan back at his parents…. I’m taking my meds !

Carly… argh! catches Sonny “standing”

Sonny tells his main henchman…. he lied once again to Carly

argh! i’m so done with the Corinthos’ Clan

before i’m told off… I love soapboxing pressing knocking bringing to the attention just how dull Port Charles is… with Sonny and Carly

seriously ? I actually feel for their kids… either that… or they have an inside joke… and think they run the whole shebang

dull

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Carly and Lulu Make Plans to Rescue Their Children; Anna Looks Determined to Secure Her Freedom

Published

By

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

FINOLA HUGHES RETURNS

The final moments of the teaser promo reveal Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France. We have not seen her for months after Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal fed her hallucinogenics to make her believe her arch nemesis, Cesar Faison was alive!

Now, the doctors walk towards her hospital bed, where we see the super spy calmly knitting. Is Anna back to normal and playing everyone to get out of her predicament, or does she still remain deeply traumatized … or both?

Take a look at the rest of the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, JUNE 22
Willow gets an unwelcome surprise. Trina sticks to her guns. “Nathan” wants reassurance. Ethan advises Ava. Brook Lynn receives an update.

TUESDAY, JUNE 23
Dante cautions Liz. Laura learns a secret. Brook Lynn confides in Michael. Sonny challenges Ava. Chase makes a decision.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24
Anna meets with her doctor. Carly makes a stunning confession. Britt extracts a promise. Cullum pulls a fast one. Gio and Emma hit the pool.

THURSDAY, JUNE 25
Josslyn clashes with Cassius. Lulu and Dante make a discovery. Chase receives a warning. Jordan seeks help. Alexis is summoned to the PCPD.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26
Anna takes a huge risk. Britt is in grave danger. Willow is in disbelief. Danny must act fast. Curtis jumps to the wrong conclusion.

Check out the latest General Hospital promo entitled, “Rescue Mission” below.

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

on

By

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
