Grahn let her followers know that Kelly Sullivan (Kate) and Lisa LoCicero (Olivia) showed up to watch the show, as well as Kin Shriner, who according to Grahn is also headed back to General Hospital to reprise the role of Scotty Baldwin!

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Carly and Lulu Make Plans to Rescue Their Children; Anna Looks Determined to Secure Her Freedom

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!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

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.

I hope not, I never could stand Scotty
well if Scotty is coming back… is it for Robin’s funeral or because Heather is is coming back, or maybe Laura or Lucy?
Fans I am beginning to get real nervous. Every soap that was in trouble or was on the verge of cancellation started bringing people back. So my question to all of you out there is this a good thing or the beginning of the end?
That can’t afford all this coming back for a genre who claims they have to keep COST down. These legacy actor’s to these shows cost money. Trust me they know the signifciance they play is n the show’s History. This is around character number 10 coming back, along with the added OLTL star’s. No way can they afford this. Something is going on……..
Love it! More legacy characters returning! GH is on FIRE!!!
I have always loved Kin as Scott(y) Baldwin..I would love him to come back..heck, bring Jackie Zeman back to! Bring GH back to the 80’s! lol
I love Jackie and I met her once and she was the MOST gracious. But, have U seen Jacklyn lately? She is not camera ready anymore. She had some bad surgery and her face is hooked up. Unlike Monica, who looks excellent as if she aged like that, Jackie Zeman wasn’t so lucky with her surgent. For those reasons, I doubt she will be asked back, bc certainly, that could have her back from time to time bc Carly does need her mother sometime, huh?
Where on earth do they say Boobie is on the show anyway?
WHATS GOING ON HERE?maybe the one life to live h8ters are getting revenge,lol.I forgot where I saw a picture of jackie and she did look like her skin was pulled over her face real tight ,did not look good.there is such a thing as running out of skin to pull,hell, the tear ducks are probably on the top of there heads,can you imagine where joan rivers are ,long gone by now.the thought of not being able to move your lips(lisa rinna)or you cant move your face,these people are addicted to plastic surgery ,wish I had that kind of money.Id move to wine country and grow grapes,close to the ocean.
Its a shame. Jackie Zeman is a great actress, natural like, like Jane Elliot, Leslie Charleston, etc…Too bad she went over board w/the plastic surgery. Think she aired about 3 yrs ago or so. When you don’t look like yourself anymore it’s too much.
Great- now bring back Jacklyn Zeman. Zeman is a GH legend- her scenes with Carly (then played by Sarah Brown- now Madison on Days) were riveting and memorable, all these years later- bring back Zeman!!
I remember seeing scotty years ago with Lee Baldwin who played his father……He was alway’s getting into some kind of trouble…..Miss Bobby Spencer………What happen to Monica Quatermaine????? Did not watch GH for a while…..But back watching GH now…Trying to get familiar with all the new faces… It was smokin today… What do you think about Maxie???????? she said it was all her fault about Robin’s death…And Blair was WONDERFUL today.. So much EMOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She made me cry… Nt. Tues. is the day for Michael Easton’s arrival on GH!!!!!!!!On 3/13… More good stories to come for John McBain (M. Easton) on GH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!
bring laura back with you.
I’m so excited that Kin Shriner is coming back !!!!!!
Unfortunately JZ did what so many do of women in showbiz they start messing with nature that is the only reason I can figure it out Laura Wright made the comment ever since she took over the role of Carly she did not work with JZ at all
But Laura has worked with Jackie since she has been on GH. I remember it maybe over a year ago, or last year. It was in the hospital. She came up out of the blue. I remember it well bc I was looking for the chemistry of mother daughter like Bobby had with Sarah and Tamara. It was such a short scene (Bobby was at work) that I couldn’t read anything into it.
Bringing Scotty back is a good thing for Port Charles and stirring up a lot of trouble which will make it more interesting and sitting on the edge. Hooray hope it happens!!
I’ll be thrilled to see him. I wish he would bring GF back with him, but I have a feeling that she will come much later. In the meantime, he can explain what happened after Scott got on the plane with Laura! lol
They should bring JZ/Bobbie back. Plastic surgery is neither here nor there. She is beloved by long term fans and so is her character. And Lucas should come back with her. Luke needs some centering/grounding.
I heard they are looking for a lucus so thats a good thing, my wish list is for genie francis, and not for a few days but to stay bobbie to.
Thats awesome that Kin (Scott) is returning. He will fit back in perfect. Especially with scenes of him & Luke ! Any chance of his daughter Serena coming back as well ? Would love to see Lucy & Kevin return too ! Oh & with Heather returning, Scott will surely be welcomed back. Be like the old days with Scott & Heather. Just have to add Laura next !
