Jane Elliot Returns to General Hospital This April
Although it was previously announced back in January (during ABC’s TCA Winter Press Tour) that Jane Elliot would be returning to General Hospital, the soap opera and Soap Opera Digest have confirmed that Jane’s first episode back will air next month on April 17th.
While Elliot won’t be a part of the Nurses’ Ball which airs the week of April 3rd, as part of the show’s 60th anniversary episodes, the Daytime Emmy-winning fan favorite will be back in action during the anniversary month and beyond.
As viewers know, Jane originally decided to retire back in 2017, and so Tracy was written off to join Luke Spencer in Europe. Since that time, Elliot has come back to the show for a few appearances.
The last time we saw Tracy was at the beginning of 2022, when she came home to Port Charles to give the shocking and tragic news that Luke had been killed in a cable car crash. Tracy eventually went back to Amsterdam, where they had been living, to settle his affairs following his death.
Will Tracy’s return help bring down Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) who is believed to be behind Luke’s death? Could Tracy learn Luke is really alive after all? Stay tuned.
So, excited that Jane Elliot’s return to GH is just around the corner? Comment below.
Always great to see Jane Elliot back on screen, in whatever scheme Tracy has gotten herself involved with this time.
I sincerely hope that this story is leading to the reveal that Luke isn’t really dead. You have to acknowledge the good and bad with the character of Luke Spencer over the years, but the bottom line is he was one of the most iconic characters in soap history. For him to die off screen like that never seemed like an appropriate way for the character to go out.
I agree with you, Dan. Completely.

Geary retired from Soap & is living happily in Amsterdam Holland. He refuses to return to the set. He loved his care free lifestyle there. Given the $$ he earned & wisely invested ,why not live healthy & happily there. I love Holland & Belgium, life is much slower & simpler with all the modern conveniences
happy she’s back along w/ Emma samms,
Wow, do I miss Tracy. The once-dominant Quartermaines are barely a shadow anymore. The Corinthos clan just isn’t a proper replacement.
I’d like Tracy to come back and kick that squatter Carly out of her family mansion. She’s always there marching around like she owns the joint.
Oh Harry, Missy Carly thinks she’s entitled to anything she wants — men, revenge, “justified” lying. She still hates Brad for concealing Wiley’s parentage but has NO QUALMS about lying to Willow, Nina, and Drew about Willow’s maternal history. And her “marching around” (great description) is always so loud! Those shoes must have tiny weights in them.
I’d say Carly was justified in hating Brad. His deception in the Wiley clusterf**k hurt both her son Mikey and her brother Lucas. Not to mention aided & abetted the insane schemes of Psycho Nelle against her entire family. That’s a lot to forgive.
As far as Willow goes… she told Carly she didn’t really want to know who her birth mother was. Obviously Carly didn’t owe Nina a damn thing, although she probably should have been honest with Drew once he started investigating Willow’s parentage.
Yes; Carly DID owe Nina. Carly started this whole thing by not telling her that Nelle had been her daughter, and by default, was never going to tell her that Wiley was her grandson! He’s every bit Nina’s grandchild as Carly’s, but I guess taking Michael away from AJ, and raising Ava’s daughter as if she was her own, raising Avery to call her “mommy” wasn’t enough for Carly. She has Joss, Michael, Donna, Avery, Wiley, the new grandchild, and Nina’s daughter…and she thought nothing of letting Nina go through the rest of her life childless, never to know that Wiley was her grandchild. As is her M.O. Carly never apologized to Nina, just got on her high horse and wailed about what Nina did to her. And, then, instead of trying to make it right, she does it all over again except this time it’s worse; she goes behind Nina’s back, takes an illegal DNA test, and then continues to rant and rave about what Nina did to her as she once again keeps Nina’s child from her and an upcoming grandchild. Carly’s truly despicable.
Rebecca1,
My problem is I agree with what you say, can’ t stand Carly, but than why is it I can’t stand nosy, obnoxious Nina either?
Violet; hi.:) Don’t know. I like Nina; I don’t find her nosy or obnoxious. I feel empathy for her. She was in a coma half of her life, had both babies stolen, was conned to believe Sasha was her daughter, was betrayed by Jax when he kept the secret with Carly, her other child was kept by Harmony, Carly not only kept that from her but once again is a “mother figure” to another enemy’s child (Ava/Avery) and her daughter is dying. Has a hatred for her that is completely absurd and unwarranted, and once again Nina is for the most part childless, as if having her children stolen from her wasn’t enough. And yet she carries on, her affection for Donna is very touching. Nina’s always on the outside looking in, while Carly skates through her life. It’s cringe-worthy.
Do not care for busy body Nina.
The fact that Carly took such umbrage with Brad for concealing Wiley’s parentage when she’s done the same thing to Nina two times was a connection that slipped my mind. Thank you, Soaphound for pointing that out. And it becomes increasingly vexing that Carly never receives her comeuppance- never! Instead, this morally challenged creep is constantly elevated to heroine status. It’s just piss poor writing that yields zero viewer satisfaction. The writers fail to adhere to the basic story board arc when it comes to Carly. And yes, Carly walks hard like an aggressive clod hopper living on the apartment above you.
Harry,
Have not been able to like Brad from the very beginning of all his antics in the lab, helping Britt “steal” Dante and Lulu’s baby from egg to birth and everything else crooked and scheming in between. They brought back a new and improved Britt and Brad just rode in on her coattails.
Soaphound…I can hear the click, click, click of Carly’s heals.
Hey Harry! Oh; I so agree! The “squatter Carly.” LOL! That’s exactly how I feel. I can’t stand seeing her there. These writers and their fake Quartemaine family. Bring back AJ, Dillon, Skye, and her daughter who I believe was named Lila Rae??? More Ned, please. He’s barely on and is treated like a cow put out to pasture in-story. That’s not the Ned we know. And if they’re not going to tell us where Monica is, maybe they can at least have a family game night where they all play, “Where’ Monica?”
Tracy is not the owner of the mansion. Monica is !
Oh, Soaphound—love Jane—she’s got that “stay on your side of the line” thing going—don’t mess with her. Is she Scottish, by any chance? LOL.
Aside—I just wanted to kiss and hug little “Ace”—something or someone had caught his attention and happy side back there—Mommy, perhaps? I was chuckling right along with him. So cute!! Big boy at what, six weeks old?
BTW—the word for ‘ace’ in Italian is ” Asso”. Oh, Lordy Lord!!
A presto–
I hope Luke stays dead tbh. There was minimal good about him. He is no better than any other rapist. And he didn’t learn his lesson. In 2014 he was groping young women again. Kiki for one. Laura should be ashamed of herself for leaving one of her children with one rapist so she could get away without having to worry about her child, then marrying another. Luke was no better than Stavros.
I think you’re confusing Luke with Fluke. Yeah, physically they were the same person – or at least they were after ReRon backed away from the obvious “Bill Eckert is Fluke” plotline, because GH viewers (led by this Devil) figured it out months ahead of time – but, under the terms of conventional soap writing, you don’t hold a person responsible for what their imaginary friends in their head/alternate personalities have done.
So yeah, we all know what happened at the disco in 1979. But that had nothing to with what happened in 2014. Even when not in Fluke mode, Luke had his flaws, but he had about as much in common with Stavros as I do with the angel Gabriel.
Can’t wait!
Ladies. Hide your husbands…and Sons!!
I hope they bring Luke back, he has been missed.
Love Jane Elliott. One of the few outstanding actresses of our time
Love Tracy!! Much needed return!
Hope she stays a long while
I look forward to whenever Jane Elliot returns to GH. She is such an amazing actress & literally a fan favorite for getting into or causing trouble. But she is fiercely loyal about family & I think all fans love whenever Jane returns every year. God Bless her
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via 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.
