General Hospital and ABC have released the promo for the action in Port Charles the week of December 9th through 13th, and Digitalis, the drug that took the life of Sam McCall and caused her to have a fatal heart attack, looks to play into what happens to potentially even more characters on the canvas.

From the looks of it, officer Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) must be on to some evidence, as someone comes from behind and either stabs him or injects him with a drug. Is it Digitalis? Is Dex going to be the next character to be killed-off of the ABC daytime drama series? Bets have been that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) is behind Sam’s lethal injection, as he wants to also silence Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins), which seems have been his main target. How does Dex play into this, or does he?

As the promo cuts to the shocked faces of Josslyn (Eden McCoy) Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), Chase (Josh Swickard) and Olivia (Lisa LoCicero), we hear the voice of Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) saying, “Office down, I repeat, officer down.”

In the video preview, it also looks like several people who live at the Q’s including: Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Drew (Cameron Mathison), plus visitors Carly (Laura Wright) and Nina (Cynthia Watros) are somehow watching what could be a videotape of Willow and Drew having sex, as Michael (Chad Duell) looks mortified.  Is that what they are all aghast about?

Yep.. Dex certainly has faded into the background since becoming a cop. I could see him being shown the exit door.

Looks like Dex is the next victim….who’s got the syringe? And reactions are about that tape Michael shows the family of Drew and Willow….

What was that look between Cyrus and Dex? Is he Cyrus’ long-lost son?

Cyrus realized he made a big mistake the day before. Dex had questioned him about breaking the restraining order Laura had against him, since he was seen on the 10th floor of the hospital on Halloween. Cyrus said he did not visit Lulu that day.

Well, then what was he doing on the 10th floor? And what else happened at GH on Halloween? That was the day Sam died, of course. And Dex might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer (or in his back, for that matter) but it wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to connect the dots there. Cyrus accidentally implicated himself in Sam’s murder, and he wanted to make sure Dex was taken care of, before he made that connection in his own mind and talked about it to anybody else.

Dex survived the stabbing, but what if he had a “heart attack” while recovering from surgery, just like Sam did? Or like AJ did the last time he came to Hell, for that matter?

The odds of another patient of Isiah and Lucas dying after a successful surgery are looking good. Since we’ve never met Dex’s family it’s not a big surprise.

Now, if eagle-eye Felicia gets in Cyrus’ way, that’s how he’ll likely be caught.

Dear God please don’t kill off Dex. Let him survive and arrest Cyrus for Sam’s death

Once Jason returned, the show didn’t really know what to do with Dex. Making him a lowly patrolman at the PCPD had him marked for death. Rory Cabrera, Cooper Barrett. Dex fits the mold.

If he does depart, Joss starts to catch up with her brother on dead paramours. Before Sasha and Willow, Michael’s bed partners (Abby, Sabrina, Nell) met an early demise. Will Dec join Oscar in the great beyond? At least this time, there won’t be an Dex’s meadow.

Please stop killing off the good guys. I don’t want to watch any more .Now the same old guy is back killing again.

omg, just leave Dex alone, he grew on me, I was team Cameron, still miss him and love him, but Dex grew on me and dammit he’s hot ok, I said he’s freaking hot. don’t kill him off GH, lets not have another serial killler storyline please spare us.

I like Dex, but they haven’t done much with him since making him a cop. He’s kind of just there. Once he passed the test, he had maybe one or two scenes with Chase and that was it. They need to give him more to do or write him out.

A Shocker all right… just watched Fridays show.. I truly thought we all were wrong.
But no.. Cyrus strikes again

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.
