Holly’s Alive as Emma Samms Makes a Return to General Hospital
Friday’s cliffhanger ending of General Hospital revealed that Holly is indeed alive and being held captive, but by whom? Who ever is behind this has her locked away and being watched on a surveillance system.
Viewers saw a hand of someone that is behind the kidnapping, and that Emma Samms made a return to GH in her signature role of Holly Sutton.
Samms, debuted on GH back in 1982, and has come and gone, and come back again to the ABC daytime drama series. She last appeared back on it in 2015.
Nighttime soap fans remember her fondly as Fallon on ABC’s Dynasty and its spin-off, The Colbys.

Once the secret was out on her appearance at the end of Friday’s episode, Samms shared on Twitter: “She’s alive…!”
So what do you think of the twist? That Holly is alive and that Samms was on-screen? Who do you think has Holly? Share your theories below.

Great to see her, and to have Tristan Rogers front and center for a while.
As much as some of us criticize Frank and the writers for certain things, the showcasing of veterans over the past few years has definitely improved. First Jon Lindstrom, and now both Tristan and Wally Kurth driving story. 10 years ago, producers would never let recurring actors lead storylines. It’s refreshing nowadays since that rule no longer applies.
Not sure if Emma filmed that scene in LA or back in England. Glad to see she’s recovering from Covid and eager to see more.
Holly is a great character. I hope she gets a front burner long term story that really explores all the layers of the character and redeems her from the previous short and clunky stories she’s had over the last 10 years
I think maybe Peter’s stooges may have her and am also wondering if the body they found might be Cassandra’s?
I hope Cassandra is gone for good
Given her recent disclosures that she’s still dealing with COVID 19 for several months, I didn’t think there was a snowball’s chance in my back yard that we would be seeing her anytime soon.
Could be that all we get is this 2 second appearance for now, and that any further Holly sightings will have to wait until she’s healthy. If that’s the case, I’m OK with it, since it establishes that 1) Holly actually is alive and 2)rumors of a recast were unfounded, thank all that’s unholy!!
Emma Samms – She’s 60 yrs old..
How do all these older people, Anna included, even
work in these power spy/whatever agencies?
There are age limits – 23 to 36 years of age
for special agents enlistment and required to retire at age 50 I believe
and before that time no longer active field agents.
But, then again, Soaps are crazy stuff- they have their own unreality wonderland.. gotta love it..
At least now Scorpio has an age-appropriate side.
It will be good to have him upfront even tho there will be a twist that will un-couple them, for sure.
(haven’t saw much of him.. hmm will Anna be happy??
Robert is back. Who cares ow old he is!!!
I was laughing so hard at BLQ’s miraculous and extra speedy recovery from having her throat slashed! Hours later her makeup was flawless and she had virtually no medical devices hooked up to her. The outrageousness is part of the fun! If only the world was really like that! lol
1. I’m 60. 2. 60 isn’t “older”. 3. Robert, Anna, Holly and I would kick any young person’s a$$ before they knew what happened. LOL. I know you weren’t serious, but I am.
I’d like to know something , I was thinking about this Liv knew who Ethan was. I’m not sure but I don’t recall those two ever seeing each other in as Luck calls it…..Port Chuck. Maybe she saw pics of him but there’s no connection between them …or at least I don’t think so.?
They probably didn’t share a lot of scenes back in the day, but the irony here is……
Nathan Parsons originally auditioned for the role of Dante… so his audition he was actually reading with Sonny & Olivia.
Powers that be didn’t think he was right for the character, but they liked him well enough to write the new character of Ethan specifically for him.
So in other words, Olivia knows him… whether she really should or not. But I’m sure their paths must have crossed somewhere in the past being as the Corinthos/Spencer/Quartermaine/Falconeri clans all intersect 666 different ways.
I sure hope they get robert and Holly back as a couple loved them in the 80s they were such a super couple I quit watching when all the good characters were gone please put robert and holly back together to ride off in the sunset together.
LOVE Robert & Holly. Praying Frank V. Puts them back together.
Anna & Finn are good, Anna & Duke were amazing, just don’t mess with my Robert & Holly, please!!
As Ethan is Lulu’s half-brother and she was married to Olivia’s son, that was one path.
Also, Olivia dated Johnny for a while, who could-owned the Haunted Star, this mingling with Luke and associated crowd.
I was thrilled to see Holly/Emma Samms, wow, she’s so beautiful, she really looked great. I’m so glad they are playing this spy caper, its fun and distraction from Mikes dying on GH,but also where Is Genie Francis? she appeared in the first episodes after the Covid hiatus and haven’t seen her since?? and where’s is Finola Hughes? every time Alex is mentioned and Anna sets to go look for her that only mean Finola Hughes is going on extended leave ala Luke style or Anthony Geary “vacation”. wish is annoying since they’re so long and the show just got back on why is anyone taking vacation now? Genie? Finola?
Peter is behind it. In my opinion
Is Jackie Templeton holding Holly?
Holly’s showing up on GH made me incredibly happy & hopeful for a Robert & Holly reunion. Best super couple ever. Never liked Jackie Templeton. ! RnH forever

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.

REPORT: Nicholas Chavez Not Returning to General Hospital
For those who were holding out hope that Daytime Emmy winner and fan favorite, Nicholas Chavez would be returning to General Hospital after filming his leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters anthology, it looks like those hopes have been dashed.
According to a report from TV Line, although unconfirmed from General Hospital or a representative for Chavez, the actor will not reprise his role as Spencer Cassadine on the long-running ABC soap opera and continue the love story of Sprina opposite Tabyana Ali (Trina, GH).
Chavez was cast as Lyle Menendez over the the summer of 2023 for the second season of Murphy’s limited Monsters series on Netflix. In the upcoming season, the series will focus on the the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the two well-to-do Beverly Hills brothers accused of murdering their parents in 1989.

After word from Chavez casting was revealed, GH fans were concerned over the fate of the Sprina story, a spokesperson for GH shared, “We support Nicholas’ endeavors and look forward to having him return to General Hospital once this project is wrapped.”
In story, the series “killed off” Spencer when he went overboard with Esme to the steely waters below after being injected with a drug, thanks to Esme and falling into the Seine River in France. However, his body was never recovered, and believed to have drowned or washed away. Thus, leaving an opening for Spencer to return in the form of Chavez or be recast down the line.

TV Line shared that ‘multiple sources’ are confirming that Chavez is not returning to the ABC soap opera, which is what many had suspected might be the case once he left for this major starring role in a Ryan Murphy project. Chavez has been relatively quiet on social media for months.

The Michael Fairman Channel spoke with Nicholas Chavez for a virtual interview when he first joined the show in 2021, and spoke to him right after when he won the Daytime Emmy in 2022 – you can see those below.
No word yet on when Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story will debut on Netflix, but it is assumed later this year.
So, what do you think about the news of Nicholas Chavez not returning to his role as Spencer Cassadine on General Hospital? Comment below.
