This week’s promo for ABC’s General Hospital centers around Billy Miller’s character of “Jake” AKA Jason!
After being under mind control from Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers), it looks like “Jake” is determined to seek answers as to who he really is through any medical and psychological means necessary!
And in the stunner at the end of the teaser, it is Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) who knows that “Jake” is really Jason! But what will he do with the information, if anything? Will he keep it to himself? Will he use it to his advantage?
What do you think will happen to “Jake” AKA Jason after he goes through the treatments viewed in the promo after the jump? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Maybe Nik is forced by ‘Fluke the Kook’ to keep Jake/Jason’s true identity a secret…or thats not really Nik and its really Stravos Cassidine wearing a mask…lol
Between not knowing Flukes true identity and Jake not knowing his(probably not until May sweeps) i think im going to loose my mind which some believe i’ve done already…’Heather, im comin to join ya’…lol
jimh..
Jake will know he is Jason, soon..
I’m looking forward to the chaos that will create! it is the good part lol
I wonder which personality will be the reborn Jason?
I hope he will retakes his place in the Quartermaine family and slaps Michael to the wall 😉
You’d think with Patrick knowing the Cassidine took Robin to revive other Cassidines and Jason, Jakes mind control by Helene, Jake taking the phoenix figure and having visions of being in bed with Sam and knowing Jake had previous brain work, Patrick would use his own brain and realize that Jake was Jason…just a thought!!!
hi jihm..
noooo Patrick is not the chosen one to out Jason, I think Jake will find his own identity, he is the chosen one of the revele 🙂
Good one jihm (leave it to beaver)!!!
I think Patrick should realize Jake is Jason. Right, Jimh? It makes no sense to me that he would not.
Something else that does not sit well with me is the fact that suddenly, Fluke conveniently develops a split personality. I refuse to believe that this was already written in the stars. My intelligence, as yours, jimh, and, all our other fellow-posters’s intelligence will not be bruised. I feel as if My brain has been punched and knocked around here and there with the ridiculousness of it all.
So, what else is new? All other characters we have seen were figments of Luke’s imagination? Including Fluke? Are we yet to believe Fluke/Luke needs be be explained away because the Luke/Anthony is staying? Lordy Lord, I’m not even making any sense to myself.
Bottom lines or me, jimh? There is no way in the soap world that this trauma suffered by Luke as a child has been in the works. It is a last stab to end this fairytale with a bang. ……”ain’t” working for me. There is no bang to be had.
I just hope Nik tells Sam as soon as he finds out – Please don’t drag out this story
OMG…out of curiosity I checked to see what was running in the Ex-Katie/Queen Latifta hour since they had been cancelled. Now they are silly reality shows…one had the “hosts” with their computers in front of them looking up YouTube type story’s on this and that…you know the kind of thing news programs sometimes sign off on. Maybe they are fill-ins until something “better” comes along. But they solve one problem for the network, they are beyond inexpensive. And this is what we have eventually lost AMC and OLTL to.
That is depressing, Rose.
And Dr. Oz is now on the same time as GH in my neck of the woods. He used to be on at four and now that horrid TMZ is on its time slot.
Yes, how much money can it cost to basically hire people to read celebrity gossip stories? Oh and then there is my all time favorite~ Watch What Happens Live! This show consists of a bunch of people watching Youtubes and responding to them.
The programs I getting from 3-4 are back-to-back Right This Minute. Same premise as your Watch etc.
looks like he told carly and sam, unless that was just an edit to make us think that.
Edit, he keeps the info to himself for now.
whether Helena is “mind control” Nikolas… or …. he’s his own man… and has grown tired of being on the losing end of WOMEN… and turnabout is fair play… and he’s playing Helena for his own intent and purpose…..
Nikolas get’s ??? endless story for Tyler Christopher… let him corporate… chess piece with the mobs… foolery with the PCPD
it’s intriguing
although… if he’s stated… “no harm comes to my family” and Sam finds out he knew? and Liz doesn’t like the new Nik ?
still the best stuff TC Nik has had in a long long time
i’m in
I like Jake with Liz. They have good chemistry. Ric needs to go away and stay away. Liz never has a good sl anymore. I don’t get why they don’t like her over there. Remember when they were about to fire her but the fans revolted???
Madluv4 you, I agree. It’s not the actress’s fault that Liz does not have good story lines and they have her get pregnant from every man she meets and doesn’t use birth control. She was a stronger character when she was younger. Wish they would give her back the spark and story line.
LOVE Billy Miller in this new role of Jason! Miller is such a better actor! I wish Sonny would have met him maybe Sonny would have figured it out! LOL OR Spinelli!!!!
I really liked Steve B as Jason, so no complaints there. That said, Billy M has been strong in the role. He’s somehow captured Jason’s stoic nature and embued it with subtle emotions. He has chemistry with everyone on screen – he will be a powerhouse in this role!
I agree. Billy Miller has been great.
Yes, he has been very good and seems to get better every day. As tired as I am of the dreary and endless Fluke, Tony Geary interacting with Billy Miller in jail yesterday was somewhat interesting.
(I am trying here)
I’m with u suzanne ! Billy is so amazing he played his role of billy abbott on y&r to the best of his abiltiy ! I c another emmy in his possession for the role of jason morgan ! Luv u billy ur the bomb !
No, Nik won’t tell because I’m sure Helena will blackmail him. He won’t remember what he remembered as he was going under. Patrick won’t recognize him. Spinelli will.
The biggest complaints I see about Billy Miller’s Jake/Jason is that he’s boring. I love him but I actually understand what they’re saying-this man has been a victim w/no purpose for almost 6 months! 2 months would’ve been fine & I think that was their original plan, but as usual RC, who I do like most of the time, has dragggeeeddd it out again!
My fav scenes were when he slammed Carlos, slammed Patrick, sneaked around in Sam’s (his) home like a ninja & jumped the real server on the docks meant to work the Haunted Star party-why? He had a purpose, if though I hated the purposes & don’t want him to be a hitman!
Please stop making him an apologetic victim! Shot, frozen, brain-washed complete w/chip in head, hit by a car was bad enough. He just reacts to others problems (Carly), looks down, mumbles, apologizes for having to sleep on Liz’s couch, for Carly putting him up, for planting a bomb, for kidnapping Sam, basically, for breathing, shoveling snow. He’s Helena’s victim & toy soldier & even Dr. O’s (who shouldn’t even be in this s/l) victim-she kicked him out of hospital before he healed (so Liz said anyway). You have the reigning Lead Actor Emmy winner here & he’s not w/his son, wife, friends, working (anywhere!), has no home, no name, no memories, fresh outta jail w/chains on spewing out dialogue about his outstanding hospital bills from now his 3rd visit in 5 months to General Hospital! Stop making him a victim! I also feel Kiki especially also had no purpose & was just written reacting to other’s lives. RC has to give Maxie, Morgan, NuKiki, Jake, Sam even, Nina, Franco jobs like he did w Lucas.
“…Please stop making him an apologetic victim!”
I was thinking the same thing after watching Tuesday’ ep:
as he was bemoaning “Luke” : you didn’t have to treat your own daughter so badly… ???? huh? he’s commiserating with Carly about her sons… ???
his “puppy dog” eyes… as he’s telling Sam and Liz about Helena “mind control”
———–
i’m hoping
the surgery will lease his memory back to the original Quartermania days… and this will move ON… back to the original days…
up to this point… it’d be great to see him with Monica and Tracy… and Alice
he’s got to end up with Liz… this is where the passion is most obvious
———-
LOL disgruntle time
Carly to Michael…. “I know deep down in your heart you still love Sonny.” as she’s berating Michael for suing for custody of Avery ????? another huh? Carly ??? seemed like she was going against her own son…
if GH is going to prop Chad Duell… which I”m so over … KEEP Sonny, Carly, and Michael apart…. they just do not mix well together… this is whats so tiring… the same things with these three … blech!
food for thought ….
I really would like Carlos with Carly…. what about Carly and Ric Lansing… ??? I think this would be her best get…. if she’s propped so much… at least try and get someone who she gells with… someone strong with whit and machismo to play with
Sonny ??? he actually has it going with Ava…. even tho it pains me she’s not with Morgan…. but if, once again… GH needs to propped … this is his best bet
I was pleasantly surprised… OK… give it back… but when Sabrina showed up at the Q… to talk to Michael…. and they sat down together at the table that was set for Ned and Alexis… I thought… they looked good together… what an opportune time.. for two of the dullest … to no holds barred … put something together.. spark, render, and clean slate together…. they are both by nature soft spoken… caring… and … ????
this part of the GH equation… will always stump me.
Morgan is the meat and potato of Sonny brood… id reel him … it’s too bad they didn’t hire Kelly Missal as the new Kiki… these two would have smoldered
———–
GH production… you lucked out in turning Michelle Stafford around… THANK GOD… she’s dynamic again… and so is Roger Howarth… whew!
get on the sticks and move Billy Miller.
Oh dear Patrick…..Sappy and Michael???? No no no…a thousand times NO!!!!! Today was the second occurrence in as many weeks that she was sniffing around the Quartermaine heir’s lair and continuing with that lame, insipid apology tour of hers. And what’s with all this sudden unloading of Michael’s personal business upon this irksome miss? Enough already….the Sapster needs to be sent packing instead of wasting time and energy inventing something for her to do. (Besides, isn’t the shady Grossalie supposed to be the clueless Q’s new confidante???? Not that I miss her….)
