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

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dex and Josslyn’s Relationship at a Crossroad, Jason Contacts Diane For Help

Previews for the week of March 18-22nd on General Hospital, plus the latest promo for the daytime drama series, share that Jason’s (Steve Burton) return has already affected so many lives, especially given the fact that several key people aka Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Danny (Asher Antonyzn) know his location at this moment.

Eventually, Jason (Steve Burton) will get in touch with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), from what one can only assume is legal help. However, John (Adam J. Harrington) seems hot on Jason’s trail, but the question remains, if Jason was working for John as seemingly revealed in a flashback to keep out of prison, are the two working together … or are they mortal enemies?

Meanwhile, it looks like its curtain for now in the relationship between Dex (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). After Nina (Cynthia Watros) dropped a bombshell about Cyrus (Jeff Kober), Joss gets an earful of information from Dex, when he admits that he was in Cyrus’s hospital room to kill him on orders from Sonny (Maurice Benard).

According to Soap Opera Digest, Eden McCoy shared, ” I think what’s different about this situation, and what pushes her over the edge, is that it wasn’t, like, a self-defense situation. It wasn’t at a shoot-out. He wasn’t protecting Sonny. Cyrus wasn’t doing anything! And I think that really scares her, to see him in the light of voluntarily killing someone in their sleep. That is very different from, like, shooting someone that’s shooting at Sonny. She is just in shock, like she can’t actually believe it.” As told by McCoy, “At that point, Josslyn says.’I can’t do this anymore,’ and makes her exit.”

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

REPORT: General Hospital Alum, Robyn Bernard, Homeless & Battling Addiction, Before Her Passing at 64

Robyn Bernard passed away earlier this week on March 12th, when her body was found in an empty field, which is allegedly behind a 7/11, and some trailer homes, in San Jacinto, California. The actress and singer, and former General Hospital alum, played Terry Brock from 1984-1990 and was 64-years-old at the time of her death.

New reporting on the life that she led over the past year, and longtime mental health issues and struggles with addiction, paint a picture that may have led to her death. Although it should be noted, the toxicology report is currently not completed or released. However, the sheriff department stated that no foul play is suspected.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, friends of Bernard spoke on how she had become part of their homeless community, and that she she struggled with alcohol addiction, and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia through the latter part of her life.

In their accounts, things went south for Robyn when in 2014 she moved to the community in San Jacinto, which is 84 miles from Los Angeles. At that time, she moved into a trailer park for senior citizens and was beloved for her singing by her neighbors.

The report also notes that in 2015, tragically, Bernard’s trailer park home was burned to the ground taking 7 of her 8 beloved cats and all of her possessions. After that, Robin stayed with many people of the community, but the previous management chased her off of the premises. She then broke up with her boyfriend and eventually stopped communicating with her parents.

Bernard’s final home was in a community called Parkview Estates, facilitated by Riverside County’s Adult Protective Services Department.  According to police records obtained by Daily Mail, through 2017-2019, Bernard faced numerous DUI drugs and alcohol arrests during that period.

Joni Woods, who lives opposite the space where Bernard’s trailer once was said: ‘I used to see her (Robyn) around town all the time pushing her shopping carts. She always had four or five of them, and I always felt so bad for her.” Robyn’s former boyfriend, Dan Berlin, expressed that the last time he had seen the GH alum was two years ago, “She was out there, talking to herself in a nonsense way. She was a schizophrenic.’

The friends of Bernard shared: “She used to say that Hollywood screwed her over,” adding, “They did her dirty and that’s why she ended up living in San Jacinto of all places.”

Share your thoughts on this tragic story of the last part of Robyn’s life, which again, stresses the importance of trying to find the appropriate help for those dealing with mental illness, being homeless, and addiction.

While ‘General Hospital’s’ Dante Lays in a Coma; Dominic Zamprogna Has Some Great New Portrait Headshots

On General Hospital, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has thus far survived two bullets to the chest, and is laying in a coma. Sam (Kelly Monaco), his lady love, is by his side and beside herself after learning her ex Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is alive and is of the belief that Jason have been the shooter who tried to take out Dante.
