Earlier this week on General Hospital, viewers were upset to find out that Jane Elliot’s current run on the ABC daytime drama series had come to an end, when Tracy announced she was leaving Port Charles for Amsterdam.

In story, Tracy was heading back to Europe to tend to Luke’s affair and meeting with Luke’s sister, Bobbie to help her get through the emotional ordeal.

However, on Friday, Soap Opera Digest is reporting that while “Tracy will be off-screen during her trip, her absence from the canvas will be short-lived.”

That would also make sense given that Lois (Rena Sofer) told Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), that she should take Tracy’s offer up to run Deception and that she would help her fend off any interferences from Tracy and others.

Elliot is a Daytime Emmy-winning actress and enduring fan favorite with General Hospital fans.  he has played the role of Tracy Quartermaine numerous times over the years including in: 1978–1980, 1989–1993, 1996, 2003–2017, 2019–2021, and now in 2023.

Many GH viewers are wondering if Tracy’s exit might also pave the way with how to wrap up the character of Bobbie Spencer’s story, since her portraying Jackie Zeman passed away this past May, and the soap opera has yet to deal with it on-air.

So, glad to know there is more Tracy “Q” on the way after Jane Elliot’s short break on General Hospital? Comment below.

Happy to hear this news.
Tracy lights a much needed fire in all the other cast mates she shares scenes with. They have to be on the top of their game with this fabulous actress.

She is a great actress but she always causes problems. At time she is just too snarky. Glad she’s coming back but hope they tone her down a little. Stop being such a know it all bully

Tracy is Tracy; one of the few REAL Quartermaines left. They’ve already watered her down; she used to be way harsher but always a great character. Are you a new viewer? Serious question. Because if you knew Tracy for decades, you’d know she’s not as “snarky” as she could be and used to be. And when she is, she’s always hilarious. So glad she’s coming back! I missed her!

I Agree with you

That wouldn’t be Tracy though.

I agree wholeheartedly!

This version of Tracy is more comedic and that occurred when she was linked with Like, so in a sense it humbled Tracy.

Tracy could go there if needed and I hope Frank takes her there just for a moment.

She’s carrying a heavy LEGACY on her back and is doing a fantastic job keeping it alive.

Tracy in a sense is the last true Quartermaine standing.

I been watching from day one. Tracy alway been a tough lady. But she ease down alittle. But like Sher said is true. If your a new . Then you haven’t see her in action. She a very good actress. I’m 73 now and I still watch it. Love it and Tracy.

Cannot wait for her return. She should be in every scene

No she shouldn’t be in every scene. There areNy good actors in the g h cast and the writers need to use them properly.

I agree; love her! I’m so happy that she’s come out of retirement. I hope she’s going to remain. What I’d really love is for them to bring AJ back from the dead (again, and keep him alive this time!), and maybe even Skye, and fill up the Q house with actual Quartermaines again. They should bring back Dillon, too.

Sadly, AJ is dead-dead as long as Frank is around. The ghostly walk up the staircase locked that in.

With Tracy around, it’s the perfect time to bring in a new Dillon. Pair him Maxie?

Sorry, I’ll disagree again – Skye isn’t an “actual Quartermaine”. She’d fall into the “interloper and hangers on” category even if Edward and Alan had a soft spot for her.

Funniest part about the “up the stairs” scene….

Does anybody REALLY think AJ went that direction? I can promise you, he definitely did not! Though I do think he got a raw deal in the end because ReRon had some personal “beef” with Sean Kanan.

In the end, AJ may have done enough to atone for his previous mistakes. Harmony, however, perished after doing some heinous crimes and should probably not be appearing as a vision to Willow.

Enjoying Rena somers return. Hope she stays

I’m so glad she’ll be back. her leaving was so abrupt!

She Just left the Actress IS Retired. Skye should be brought back Instead! Don’t know Y I care I don’t watch the show Anymore.

Skye is DEFINITELY NEEDED but will Robin Christopher return full time and then, will they give her storylines to make her stay around?

Thank you Michael for speaking the way you have . Jane Elliot is wonderful actress.
Newer viewers should watch Elvis Presley’s 1969 movie “A Change of Habit” Jane Elliot played a nun along side Mary Tyler Moore.

My favorite role was Carrie Todd in Guiding Light (I was a CBS soap fan until ATWT and GL were cancelled – that’s when I switched over to ABC GH)

This is what Wikipedia says Jane thinks about her stint on GL: From 1981 to 1982, Elliot appeared on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light as Carrie Todd, a character who was involved with Ross Marler; Ross learns that Carrie is a murderer and has a split personality. Elliot considers her time as Carrie as one of her favorite roles, saying “the most was asked of me when I was doing that role.”

What??? I’ll have to check this out for sure!

Watched the show as a kid…Fell in love with Tracy (and Jane)… When she stood by and watched as Edward begged her to get his heart meds…spit my lemonade across the room , when someone one touched Tracy’s shoulder, (her reaction was priceless)… and the cam pans back and it’s revealed to be Edward….

I remember watching that scene, where Tracy withheld Edward’s heart med during a heart attack, like it was yesterday ! I was in my first year of college and about fifteen of us would gather to watch gh every afternoon and that scene blew us away !! There was screaming, laughing and plenty of gasps at her viciousness !!! I adore her !!!

Jane Elliot is real, I respect that-

She does not hide her age….

No wigs or dyed hair to black, no 10 lbs of extensions or extreme facelifts, no phony..

She is a beautiful lady 88 yr lady..

Most all aged on soaps over age 60 are phony trying to look 30..

Jane is showing them how ridiculous they are..

I for one could care less if Tracy comes back or not. Her storyline is a waste of airtime for someone else. Let her stay in Amsterdam.Dont mean to be ugly just boring story.

YES!!

Shame on you shes a great actress

It’s just reading as ugly ! Just sayin’ !

You mean like Marlena

Marlena’s secret for staying young? Getting possessed every 25 years or so!

I’m always happy to help, of course.

LOL; Jane’s not 88! She’s 76, and in my opinion can pass for 70. Love her look; sophisticated. She’s kept her figure, her white hair is gleaming and her makeup is gorgeous as is the wardrobe.

Jane Elliot Is not 88yr old she’s is 76, omg, get it right

She is 76 not 88-you have her confused with a different Jane Elliott

She is NOT 88

She’s 76.

I get your point, Su000, but I don’t know whether you’re joking about Elliot’s age or whether that was a typo: she is 76, not 88. She is one hell of an actress! GH is lucky to have her back.

That was not me it was Alexa LOL…I asked Alexa – general hospital soap opera actress Jane Elliot’s age, it said 88 .. I dunno…but I respect her for not forcing herself to look 30 she is natural….

Thanks for your reply, Su000!
Alexa can be so temperamental sometimes…
And you’re absolutely right!

H-e-e-y there, Su, Long time, no hear!
Here’s looking at you, kid.

Couldn’t agree more with everything you said about Jane. I love that she’s chosen to age naturally and gracefully on screen, which is so rare in show business. She’s 76 years old, though. Not 88, lol.

She’s 76. But agreed, she’s an ageless beauty and sharpest actress and wit!

She’s 76 not 88

She is 76, not 88

I completely agree Su000 though Jane is only 76, born in 1947, the same year as my mother.

She’s 78

Check your facts…Jane is 76-years old, NOT 88!

Jane can’t be 88!!!!! Wonderful actress and keeps everyone on their toes when she is in a scene with them. Brook Lynn does a great job in their scenes together. I love her snarky attitude. Much needed in this soap to entertain the masses.

She is 76 years old

most watchable actor on daytime or nighttime even

I’m not a fan of Tracy, but I do love Jane’s portraying of her. I have watched GH since I came into this world in 1981, my mom was placing me in her lap with my bottle. Lol. I’m so glad to hear an original is remaining on the show. I’m a forever gh fan. Mat Bobbie (Jackie jersey girl zeman) (( jersey boy here too!!)) RIP. I was so upset to hear she had passed earlier in May. GH 4EVER!!!!!

I wish Jane were back on contract, but I can understand if she doesn’t want that at this stage of her life. She likes to be able to come and go, and she’s certainly more than earned the right. I’ll take whatever I can get of Tracy on my screen. As OG Steve pointed out in another thread, she’s one of the last of the old guard from the 1970s.

Hoping they’re finally able to address the Jackie Z/Bobbie situation with the regular writers returning. And it definitely seems like this is the start of that. I keep hoping that this talk of Luke will lead to the reveal that he’s really alive, and we might be able to see Tony Geary drop in for Bobbie’s funeral. I still can’t accept that they killed a legendary character like Luke Spencer off screen in a cable car accident. It always felt like that was part of a a bigger story. To this point it hasn’t materialized, but here’s hoping. It wouldn’t seem right if Luke wasn’t there to send off his beloved Barbara Jean.

Hey Dan – thanks for the mention. BTW – Jane has been on contract since her return in April.

While the death of Luke offscreen was awkward, I just don’t see them bringing him back.

When Tracy returns she needs to share scenes with not just Michael and BLQ but her other family member Jake Webber who’s one of her grandnephews played by Hudson West.

Great news! Jane’s portrayal of TQ is nothing short of spectacular! I was thrilled when she returned. Nothing like TQ to shake things up & cause problems. Loved to see TQ hasn’t lost her edge.

I’m a Fan favorite of G H & I do Love Tracy, I’ve been watching the soap for about 40 yrs. She makes the soap even more interesting

Very, very good news about Tracey “Q”. I am pleased that you heard our voice.
Likewise, so relived that the fiasco about Eddie is all over, thank goodness.
Now, please EXPOSE Nina, and send her away; far,far away.

I’m glad she’s gone! We need some happiness in this story, instead of so much tearing people apart!!

I always wondered why Jane’s picture never shows on the intro. Tell her w want to see her beautiful face on it!

I always sell Tracy as this reminder of like a older or younger princess Leia or Carrie Fisher with all her classic theatrics and antics and her way with words and expression I mean imagine now seeing Jane acting something with Harrison Ford

So glad she’s coming back. I missed her Everytime she’d leave. She brings life to GH. She definitely is her father’s daughter. pay her what she wants to keep her. Brook Lynn can control her if she digs deep enough, love love Lois, when her character would stay forever. Her and Tracy are a hoot together. Lol

I’m so happy Jane Elliot is back on GH. It just isn’t the same without Tracy. I love the way she stirs things up, but yet can have a heart felt moment too.

I love Jane Elliot! She is the epitome of a soap opera villain. She is a wonderful actress and the one you love to hate! She has the ability to make her character really believable! Nobody does it better! I’ve watched GH since day 1 of it’s existence and will watch it til the day I die! True Blue Die Hard GH fan!!!

This time, upon her return, let’s add her to the opening photo montage as well! She’s a legacy character and deserves to be there!

It’s time for a photo shoot. Kate Mansi (Kristina) has been on contract for over 6 months and needs to be added as well. Other pics are severely outdated – Maxie and Liesl look so much different.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

Published

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.

In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.

Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.

Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?

In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.

ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION

Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy  and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.

Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

Courtesy/ABC

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.

ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA

In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.

It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.

So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first check out the scenes featuring Anna on her road to recovery in France

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Drops First Single EDM/Dance Track ‘If You Need Me’

Published

on

By

Last weekend, we shared the news that General Hospital alum and Daytime Emmy winner, Chad Duell (ex-Michael Corinthos) was releasing his first single today on June 26th and it has indeed dropped! And for those readers who guessed that Duell’s first track out of the gate was going to be an EDM/Dance/House track … you are correct, sir!

The song entitled, “If You Need Me” is perfect for the late night clubs and can be found on Spotify and other major streaming platforms! Duell is noted as the performing artist, but as the composer/ lyricist and the beatmaker of the track. For his music projects, Chad is going solely by the name of “Duelly” which has been his social media handle for years.

Taking to his Instagram on Friday, Duell explained his deep dive into making music, expressing, “I’ve wanted to make music for a long time… I just never did it. It always felt like this huge, overwhelming thing to learn. All the technical side of it, the programs, everything that goes into actually building a track… it was easy to keep pushing it off.  A couple months ago I finally just decided to go for it.”

BIT BY BIT PUTTING IT TOGETHER

Chad added, “Since then I’ve been putting in a lot of time learning, experimenting, figuring things out, and slowly starting to find a sound I’m really proud of. This first release is more of a dance/EDM vibe, but I’ve also been working on a lot of different styles behind the scenes that I’m just as excited about. At some point I realized I could keep holding onto everything trying to make it perfect… or I could just start putting music out and grow as I go.”

Stepping out of his own way, Duell firmly says, “So that’s what I’m doing.  My first track “If You Need Me” is out now. More coming soon… this is just the beginning.”

As GH viewers know, Chad made the decision to step away from General Hospital after a 15-year run with the series where his last episode aired in January of 2025. By May of last year, the role was recast with Rory Gibson debuting in the part.

Give a listen below to Duelly’s “If You Need Me,” and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Did You Think of the Return of Anna Devane, and What’s In the Letter?

Published

By

Finola Hughes made her dramatic return on-screen on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of General Hospital. Viewers will see Finola as Anna Devane again on tomorrow’s June 26th episode.

In the story, while in the French mental health facility, Anna has a session with Dr. Laurent. She tell her she now knows she was never kidnapped and that Cesar Faison is dead.

As she continued with her ruse, she went on to say she understands she was enlisted back into the WSB on a secret mission, and through that she relived all the trauma she endured by Faison, which caused her to have a psychotic break. Anna promises Dr. Laurent that her treatment plan had helped her so much in figuring out what was real, and what was in her imagination.

ANNA’S GOT HER OWN PLAN TO ESCAPE

In a smart move (hopefully) Anna told Laurent if she could talk to someone else who had known Faison that it might aid in her recover. She was given the phone and she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), who agreed to fly to France in the morning. Dr. Laurent claims she is pleased with Anna’s progress, but that they still have a very long long way to go.

Now by herself, Anna pulled out a packet of letters from a bedside table. There is one in particular that she is fixated on. What does it contain? Is this all a part of her escape plan? Will she warn Felicia that “Nathan” is really Cassius (Ryan Paevey)? If so, will Felicia even believe her?

In a summer preview with Soap Opera Digest, GH co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten shared, “We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”

So, were you happy to see Anna Devane back on your screens? What do you think is in the particular letter she was staring at? Will Felicia help Anna escape or not believe a word she says? Weigh-in via the comment section.  But first, you can check out some of the scenes from Anna’s on-screen return below.
