This week General Hospital viewers should be on the lookout for a heavenly visit, or vision of Kiki Jerome (Hayley Erin), as her mother, Ava (Maura West) looks to finally make contact with the daughter she so desperately wants to make peace with from the great beyond!

And with that, Daytime Emmy-winner Hayley Erin will reprise her role and share scenes with her former on-screen mom, Maura West.

Erin exited GH in early 2019, when she joined the cast of Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists on Freeform in which she currently plays the role of Taylor Hotchkiss.

EW.com broke the news with first look photos of Erin’s return here.

Hayley tweeted a photo of herself in front of the General Hospital sign at their set with the words, “Surprise, Surprise”

Are you glad to know that there will be some heavy emotional payoff and scenes between GH’s Ava and her late daughter Kiki? Comment below.

Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists ??? Did it get cancelled or will there be a season 2 ???

I hope this puts to rest Ava’s craving for Kiki’s forgiveness. Maura is being wasted on this story.

Good. I liked her. I hope she tells Ava to go to Hell!

No thanks! We don’t want her!!

I agree, maybe she and Satan could kick back with a couple of martinis every day.

Ain’t gonna happen. Besides, alcohol isn’t easy to come by down here. Storage problems, due to the flammability factor, naturally.

We got the taverns which serve beer on tap, but it’s warm, and it’s usually swill like Bud Light & Coors. Because it’s Hell, of course!

Being the Devil, I have an adequate supply of all the finer beverages myself, of course, since I have the air conditioning & refrigeration in my own residence to keep the alcohol from exploding.

Having said that though, I think it would be a snowy day down here before I’d be inviting Ava over for drinks.

Yes Very happy

No decision has been made yet.

Nothing against Haley, but, why, oh why, are the writers doling out this drivel? Parking Lot, psychics, memory mapping, cults..?? This show will be canceled.

I am so excited to see Kelly Erin coming back to GH!

Ava needs redeeming in more ways than one. Maybe Connie will forgive her for shooting her in cold blood, or one of her other victims. Ava couldn’t have been more at fault for Kiki’s death, if she had stabbed her, herself. Oh forgot, she already did that, in the back, how many times? Well, at least Hayley Erin gets to make some extra money to come back and forgive mommy dearest, which I’m sure will happen. People like Ava never suffer too long.

i thought i read Kristen? was returning for this as the original Kiki…but its still nice to see this one return….stories on GH so lame…too much with mind switches, psychics and the overplayed Shiloh and cult story and Lulu already movin on after being divorced two seconds from Dante…Dante may have been gone for some time now but it makes Lulu look overly desperate to have a man in her life like no woman cant survive without one!!!

As an avid fan of both Maura and Ava I will always welcome any scene with this superlative thespian—likewise feelings for Erin and Kiki.
Emotions will fly, definitely—it’s what defines a soap, whether we like the characters or not.
Will Kiki’s phantasmic appearance be chucked up as a dream? Illusion? Delusion? Whatever—I hope it will put her death and Ava’s guilt to rest. I personally feel Ava played a major catalystic role leading up Kiki’s murder. Nonetheless, the writers should “fix” Ava’s turmoil one way or another—I am not fond of prolonging matters—stirring the same stew becomes mush after a while———–
Which brings me to Shiloh’s prolonged sojourn. What is so intriguing about this “weasely” character? Can’t stant to look at him or Peter, who has now been linked to Shiloh, who in turn, is linked to Helena—C’mon—-the wheel keeps spinning–all this to give Peter relevance. He is nothing but a door-knob….an empty package put on the shelf, taken down when needed–what a waste of space.
Aside—-when Hayden left, I did say Finn’s and her baby never died—that she would return one day with a child—except that I thought it would be a boy, for some weird reason.
The story here is why did she leave in the first place?
Something else—Carly’s histrionics have reached the rafters of my brain—no patience for this shrew—-not good for the baby!! Shut up, Carly.
Sam? Oh, my!!

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.

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

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.
