Jason Or Not, Here He Comes: Steve Burton Teases His General Hospital Return!
Courtesy/ABC
Daytime audiences are waiting to see just how Steve Burton will be integrated back into the General Hospital canvas, and just who he will end up playing.
Will he be the original Jason, we all came to know and love, or will he be a different character, or will Port Charles have two different Jason’s as residents?
Burton took to Instagram to share one of his all-time favorite pics of Jason in action while posting this message as a tease to his followers and fans: “One of my favorite shots from the @generalhospitalabc set years ago! Will I play this guy again???? Tune in to see #gh #jasonornot #boom #mustsee”
Meanwhile in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on sale this week, GH head writers, Shelly Altman and Jean Passanante confirm that Billy Miller is on the canvas and in this upcoming big storyline along with Burton.
Passanante noted: “It’s sort of a great puzzle that requires figuring out. We certainly want to get the most out of it! We know hoe important Steve is to the viewers and to us, and it’s a challenge to figure out how to get the most out of (his return) that we possibly can.
Burton’s first Gh airdate is yet to be revealed. Stay tuned.
So, Jason or Not? Who will Steve Burton ultimately play when he returns on-air at GH! Share your latest thoughts on the subject in the comment section below!

Enough about this soaphopper! They act like this is like a Biblical resurrection. To me, he’s a second tier actor who’s been way overhyped. I don’t dislike him, but he gets too much attention. But as long as they keep Billy Miller also, I’ll keep watching.
Amen! I was never a fan of Stone Cold Jason and thought he was overhyped, as you said.
Not that I “like” Billy as Jason, but I think that has more to do with his pairing with Kelly/Sam. I don’t care for the couple at all!
I always thought they should have brought Billy on as a new character rather than resurrect Jason. That character wasn’t needed IMHO.
I agree, do not see chemistry between Billy and Kelly. The other two were steamy…their Chinese wedding was my all time favorite.
Billy is fine but…I am ok with Steve being Nickolas. That would be fun, but based on the tweet. It has to be a lame twin thing
Soap Hopper ? LOL You do realize Billy hopped from AMC to YR to GH. Kelly hopped from PC to GH. Laura hopped from Loving to The City to GL to GH. Mo from AMC to GH.
LMAO!
Yes, Scola, I do realize that and there’s nothing wrong with it. But Billy and many others were honest about pursuing other acting jobs, which their contracts don’t always allow enough time for (though some seem more flexible than others). Mr. Burton’s reasons always carry this noble air of spending time with family or pursuing non-acting jobs. I think that’s what annoys me. That, and all the hype. But, I’m sure he’s a nice guy and let’s hope this all leads to a good story for Steve AND Billy fans.
Sorry for the mistyped salutation, Scoma60!
Ditto!!✊
Burton is indeed a soaphopper, very well put, Soaphound! I’m uninterested in what role he plays on the show as long as he isn’t brought in to squeeze out Billy. Jason’s character is much more human and likeable with Billy playing it. Maybe he’ll play Screwball Amy’s brother we’ve been hearing about. That storyline element to the Ask Man Landers plot needs to either move or be buried. Or maybe Steve will play someone whose advice from Man Landers didn’t work out and he’s come to seek revenge. Anything’s possible on this show…
I totally agree with Max Daddy. I like the new character of Jason better, and liked him even better before he remembered his previous life. I don’t like Ask Man landers either. It would not be allowed to have that name and too chancey for a police officer. I hope Steve Burton is not Jason.
Soaphound…VERY, VERY WELL PUT!!!!! To me, watching that Steve Burton dude act is like watching paint dry…BEYOND BORING!!!!!
Later.
I agree with you. I’m a little tired of SB constantly baiting and switching. This whole — I want to spend time with my family and do other projects – crap. Just say I’m moving on to explore other acting options and leave it at that. Was relieved when he left the show. Was disappointed they decided they had to resurrect Jason in the form of Billy. Am really sad SB is returning.
And worst of all this probably means twitchy Spenelli is going to be brought back to express awe and thrill that Jason is back.
Please, please PLEASE be my Stone cold! U have been sorrowfully missed. I need my fix!! Been waiting toooooo long!
Me too!
Me second !
Me Too!!!! I think Steve and Billy working together would be Fanominal !! But I Have Been Waiting For Him To Come Back Forever! I prefer Steve to be our Jason . 22 years he thrilled us with his acting. We should be Greatful he stayed that long. Now He Is Back. The possibilities are endless!!!
Before people start complaining that Billy Miller is being treated unfair, multiple sources are saying he signed a contract extension. So apparently, all are on board.
Exactly! Also, I must say I’m quite disappointed in fans for being so cruel. Steve burton created Jason Morgan which in turn gave us 2 decades of fantastic storylines and action! That was my favorite part of GH. Without Steve perfecting this role there would be no billy miller. There would be no jasam, or sason or jarly etc. billy miller was an excellent choice for a Jason Morgan fill in. I love billy miller as well but I don’t know if I can watch Steve play anyone else but Jason.to me he will always be Jason Morgan. I’m hoping for another wacko cassidine story where maybe Helena implanted Jason’s memories into Billy’s Jason explaining why he thinks hes Jason lol it’s totally something Helena would do!
Anyway, I think people need to chill out and wait to see what happens before starting all out fan wars. We’ve had enough of that already
Amy, you said it it better than I could. My suspicions get aroused lately because of Y&R’s recent release of the great Greg Rikaart. It seems no one is immune to the whims of the often out-of-touch writers/producers. As long as Billy is staying too, let’s give it a chance. Who knows, it might be fun.
Me too! Absolutely! I was getting really Angry!! He is and always will be Jason. They better not get us all hopped up and then him not be Jason. I have been watching since I was 14 with my Grandmother and I will for the 1st time consider tuning out!
Jason Morgan is Steve Burton!! Billy Miller is good but not Jason
I am not surprised. It seems like he has “settled.” It is a shame because he was on fire as Billy Abbott. 🙁
“thank you” @Chrystie
I love the man…. Billy Miller and Michael Muhney “were” royalty… the crème de la crème of
geez! it seemed like it was all in the cards for the torch and reign to be passed from Victor and Jack to : drum roll… god this was the best thing near ever ! in this day and age of serial. for Billy and Adam to take over and their first ladies respectively: Sharon and Victoria. this was Heaven.
the eyes don’t lie, NO ? you can see it all in his eyes, his body language, his demeanor. heck… the way he delivers his lines with nary an excitement , or stutter, or shout, or laugh.
Yeah, he’s settled. he’s a big part of why GH suffers.
you’d never know… that he was Billy Abbott and a two time emmy winner.
The Gh writers have turned Jason into a pathetic sap tjats uses
Words like PREGGERS. Turned
Him into Jelly in more ways than one . Bring back Steve ! Ride or die aspect !
“That”
I agree! I was happy to have JM back and billy miller is a fine replacement but these writers have turned all the badass characters into wimps! I’m more than happy to have Steve back and I hope he plays Jason and that they don’t mess with jasam again
You said it all…the ride or die Jason is who we need. Give Billy back the Jake Doe persona and let him figure out who he really is. There’s only one Jason Morgan and that Steve Burton!
I truly want Billy Miller – OUT – of the Corinthos’ Orbit.
so let Steve Burton be Jason. how stone cold ? old sexy blue eyes with stamina left to hold his gun
yah yah.
thereby Kelly Monaco’ Sam can go back to hiding behind her savior.
Billy Miller and Rebecca Herbst ( Jake Doe and Liz ) can get reacquainted… let that romance start again. Put the Quartermainia on notice…. Jason Quartermaine is coming home. he’s the doctor son… Monica dreamed for her and Alan.. and dear old dad Edward… Lila… on and on.. I can cry
Happy ending… absolutely
everything about GH can be the best… without Sonny and Carly
Regardless of who he plays, I hope the story will be gripping and exciting because up until recently, GH has been pretty bland. Sam shooting Sonny, Spencer’s kidnapping and Valentin’s return have shaken things up, so hopefully the momentum continues with this story. I also hope they find a way to keep both Miller and Burton on the show long-term.
Also, I was wondering, since Jean P was mentioned in the article does that mean she is still writing at GH? When does she wrap up her role, and when do the shows she’s credited on stop airing?
I readily agree.. that things get shaken up … and one can hope for momentum.
hopes are dashed so fast and so quickly. Spencer returned in the blink of an eye.
all the hype is once again on the floundering he man Corinthos’ . can you believe it , it’s now time AGAIN for Carly to go all banshee.
well f this.
I was looking forward to fan posts who have ready stories … thank this.
Fairman County. are you their
I think he’s going to start out playing one of Garvey’s men and who knows where it will go from there.
As long as they keep giving Billy Miller respect & not treat him like a 2nd rate citizen to Burton I’ll see where this goes …. Hope it’s a dream or something in Sam’s mind though. Do we know how long Burton is staying on for?
He says a while
I so agree, while Billy Miller has been playing Jason 2.0 as Jason Light. I love him and he has done an awesome job. We know Steve left Y&R because JiFP was let go, so he decided to come home to GH. What ever the plans are for Steve Burton’s return , I am hoping that its a great story, I actually miss ” Stone Cold” because, Sonny needs him , but Steve could certainly come back as that long lost twin, that was being introduced when Roger ( Franco ) first came. Keep in mind It was Heather Webber who delivered Susan Moore’s child. Whomever SB is playing and for how long, I just want it to be great storytelling. GH needs a Win, because Ron C will be doing his thing over at DOOL. Diane crying about Max’s promotion was so on point. It was touching . We will see.
Love Steve! Oh how I missed Jason Morgan! Love Stone Cold!
Billy is playing Jason the way they want him to. But I’m glad he gets a new character. I’m sure he will totally rock it as long as they don’t put him with Liz.
If you look at that picture of Steve, his eyes are brown. I think Steve will come back as a new character. Either one of many of Sonny’s enemies or a new mob boss. Which would make me very happy. Billy needs to keep being Jason Morgan, him and Kelly’s chemistry is off the charts. We only need one Jason and that is Billy. Steve left the role as Jason and I do not feel he should be able to walk right back into that role
No way Steve needs to be Jason not Sonnys enemy what a joke .. Billy should play his twin …
Omg everybody leave their roles and come back all the soaps , Steve is Jason that’s my man., only one real Jason SB
I just want to see Billy get a role worthy of him. He deserves it. Too good to be wasted on this role.
Thank u Jackie! I soo agree. Everyone seems to have forgotten that Steve made his decision a few years ago to leave GH to be with his family. That was pretty devastating to most of his fans. We got through it and wished him well. Then to our surprise he goes to Y&R!! Now he’s coming back and we should all now down and be thankful!!! I say NO.
Two dudes + matching black tee shirts = tedium
Anything but the Tale of Two Jasons.
TOTALLY agree! Zzzzzz…
I am too busy still trying to figure out who is whom on these pages to worry who Steve will be portraying. Some are MIA but are they really or are they a twin or doppleganger or entirely new character. Very fond of Rebecca Budig and Kathleen Gati- both of whom I fear are about to bite the dust. No matter what befalls Sonny, no matter how many times he and Carly break up- we all know it will be ok within a matter of weeks. Huge fan bases of Carson, Julexis, Friz, JaSam, – I don’t know all the combined names- I know they flood the phone lines and message boards and twitter- some are on here while others are posting petitions and tweet thousands of tweets to the writers and exec. producers- etc. Does this work? I don’t know. It did not save the cancelled soaps- and still a few convinced AMC and OLTL are so close to a reboot. I don’t see it.
I don’t understand why Jim DePaiva was on GH for a couple of minutes. Loved seeing Diane-always do. It all comes down to the almighty dollar. And plenty has been spent on Burton and others let go to facilitate this. I don’t like this. Only ratings will tell, but for me, the GH ship is being steered in the wrong direction. Nelle and Amy on contract? Because they are new and will work for cheap, I guess. I care not for them and do not think they will grow on me. I find Aunt Stella obnoxious and unneeded.
Do you mean James DePaiva has come and gone already? Who did he play?
He was a doctor at GH who spoke with Sam about her condition-I believe it was less than five minutes, and only one appearance and gone.
Wait, is that it for James DePaiva? I was really hoping he’d play Jeff Webber.
Wow, his tenure was shorter than Anthony Scaramucci’s.
“Though we Had a Minute, Eternity was in it.”
William Shakespeare.
I hope he comes back as the real stonecold Jason ”
He plays that role to the T …. I like Billy it I think he should play Jason’s brother…..
The REAL Jason Campaign begins
Billy Miller was really never Jason, sorry.
I seem o Romberg Steve and Billy were friends when on Y&R together and Steve had indicated Billy would be a good replacement so I would imagine they as actors ar looking forward to playing that is he or isn’t he dynamic, I am looking forward to it.
I Think Steve Burton will Be Sonny Replacement I mean he will Take over sonny Buisness
They should not have resigned Miller, if they knew there was a chance of getting Burton back. He IS Jason Quartermaine, and not Miller. He never was and never will be for me. I’ve heard a rumor that SB will be Jason’s twin. My answer to that is BULL…
Susan Moore did not give birth to twins. I watched her carry the baby, and give birth. There was no second child, so if the current writing team change history, I more than likely will not watch on the days that storyline is running. It will be ugly, and I won’t have it.
No thanks. The Jason role is already filled. Steve decided to leave, his role is not available anymore. We have a Jason already, we don’t need another one. Didn’t the 2 todds bullshit get OLTL cancelled? Stop with the stunt casting and tighten up the ship you already have.
Erin, too funny, loved the post! Although Jason 2.0, or “mumbles” as some have suggested (sorry, don’t usually go there, but also can’t disagree), doesn’t do it for me. While 2.0 has been a very capable, proficient portrayal, I’d still rather have SB in the role. TPTB have a lot riding on this, so it will be interesting to see what they do with it.
Thank you for stating your opinion in a respectful way, people have been REALLY nasty lately. I definitely don’t begrudge anyone that prefers Steve. Heck, I was a rabid old school JaSam fan from the start. But for me, Steve chose to leave. I embraced Billy and have been invested in his portrayal for 3 years now. Saying he was never Jason does a ton of harm to the history of JaSam in my eyes, and I am not ok with that. But again, I respect the people that want Steve back as Jason. I just don’t agree. Have a great day!
Billy’s voice is deep. I so hate when people talk about the actors personaly. Love Billy Miller and he is a awesome actor.
Erin, yes, the GH “Women on the Edge” thread of 7/24 was not the finest moment for a number of us—very bad form! I’ll even retract my “mumbles” comment of earlier because that wasn’t fair. I suspect if I just watched my show without consulting this site, I wouldn’t have these opinions and wouldn’t be viewing with a critical eye to validate the opinions of others. And maybe I should get watching, since I’m still on April episodes! Just watched Sonny call Carly a slut and suggest that she spreads her legs too easily. Not bad, a little crass for daytime, but I liked the edginess.
Here’s hoping we don’t get the “two Todd’s BS” from your original thought. Still among the funnier things I’ve read on here! Keep it up.
i can care less about this right now. Want to know about #Julexis right now!!
MOST definitely – WIlliam DeVry and Nancy Lee Grahn for the WIN.
Shelley and Frank ! “think outside the box ” let sonny die in that sinkhole of a lesser man
Nikolas Cassadine’s body has never been found, thus in the soap world he is only presumed dead. Perhaps Steve Burton is going to now play Nikolas? If so then Sam could have delusions that he is really Jason Morgan (while all others ignore that is the character he used to portray). We have been led to believe that Sam is ill from a so far unknown cause. Her delusions could be combination of a physical ailment (her high fever), mental (her Aunt Olivia Jerome was nuts), and heredity (she is a Cassadine descendant).
I wish he would walk into General Hospital as a new doctor not realizing he is a adopted twin and blow the towns minds now that would be a story worth telling !
Nice Marquee : you made me laugh and smile at the same time.
all the brouhaha over more mob activity
way to nip it in the bud… can you imagine what Monica would be ?
argh! I was so impressed with your post.
Marquee this stuff , gavel , spotlight: etc…
“I wish he would walk into General Hospital as a new doctor not realizing he is an adopted twin and blow the towns minds”
this would answer every thing
and we can all relax
if it would mean less interaction with Sonny and Carly. absolutely this^
Cheers
Go Fluke yourself, Burton. That is, I smell another disaster of Fluke proportions
Ha! Robbie, well said!
Boring. It’s not going to bring me back as a viewer.
Good!
Im all for more Qs but i was never a Jason fan…when Robin was with Billy Miller’s Jason he obviously looked like Jason until he got run down by that car and turned into NuJason…this is going to be a lot like the two Todds/Victor story on OLTL…imo!!!
Steve Burton will be Jason Morgan in eyes. I don’t expect anything that that Billy has done as Jason Morgan because of the writers haven’t been writing Jason Morgan since he took the Role. It had nothing to do with Billy acting talent. He just playing Jason. I’m very disappointed in fans that are showing blatant disrespect for Steve Burton who has played the Jason Morgan roll for 21 years. Billy Miller wouldn’t have the chance to play Jason Morgan if Steve didn’t play Jason Morgan. You cannot erase 21 years of history that Jason a.k.a. Stone call was played by Steve Burton. For me Kelly Monaco has more chemistry with Steve Burton then she does with Billy Miller. Billy Miller doesn’t have the connection or family Connection that Steve Burton has with the cast of General Hospital. I don’t feel it and I feel like Kelly Monaco has to carry Billy as Jason Morgan.
Well written post !
Amen sister!
That’s your opinion. That was the role they gave Billy. He is very talented. You can only play what they give him. Now one has to carry him. He has three Emmy’s to prove it. GH fault. As far as their chemistry. They are hot together.
To be honest, I just can’t see Steve Burton playing anyone but Jason if they plan to keep him around long-term. I will have a very hard time accepting him as anyone else because he played Jason for SO long, and it’s only been a few years since his exit.
I have a feeling Burton will turn out to be the real Jason who has been kept as a hostage by the Cassadine’s all the time, and Billy Miller will be a brainwashed A.J. who was also kidnapped by the Cassadine’s following his “death,” made to believe he was Jason, and turned into a Cassadine soldier. A.J. was supposedly killed off before Miller joined the show so they never shared screen time together.
Since Robin saw Jason before he had plastic surgery, they could say the switch was made after the accident, or while he was in surgery, and Helena sent her goons to sub in the real Jason for Billy Miller’s “Jason” who was under the bandages.
I think it would be much easier to accept Miller in a new role as opposed to Burton, and it would also create a conflict for Sam as to who she really loves – the Jason from before who she loved or this new “Jason” who is really A.J. that she’s fallen in love with. I also think this would be the easiest way to keep both characters on the show, and also rectify the mistake of killing off A.J. again.
I like what you say. Have the two brothers rally against Sonny and run PC!
Or better yet, Timmmbo, have the QBros rally against Sonny and run him OUT of Port Charles!
Heck no. Billy doesn’t need to have that crappy role. I rather him be a little brother that Jason didn’t know he had. As many have pointed out Billy looks a lot younger than Steve. Which he is. 9 years younger.
Billy Miller is 10 times the actor Steve Burton is.
-10 times!
EXACTLY!!!!!
I’m looking forward to anything they have planned for SB. I miss him on screen! I want a good s/l and he interact’s with BH more then a second or minutes. They are great together on screen.
I’m glad Steve is back. I want him to be Jason and for him to have an awesome storyline.
Well, Jean and Shelly had an AMAZING puzzle of a story on Y&R, “The Music Box” and it went down as one of the worst story-lines EVER! Newly hired head writer Sally Sussman cleaned that crap of a story up in ONE day!
Me thinks Griffen will find Jason the priest
I prefer Miller as Jason as he is a better actor. Will they resurrect the old OLTL storyline of the two Todds?
I love Billy Miller. You can tell he’s younger than Steve. Just treat Billy good. He is friends with Kelly and they love love working together. They hang out off screen.
I think that Steve Burton is going to play a doctor of some sort. (This is something I can live with). Perhaps he’ll play Sam’s doctor. I sure hope that he can help Sam get out of this funk that she’s in because her character is very hard to watch recently. And I really want Billy Miller to stay and continue being Jason because he’s doing a great job in that role.
I always wanted Jason to remember his Quartermaine roots and become a doctor (originally, he was going to medical school). The hospital needs more doctors. However, I’ll take less Monotone Sam..
He’s awesome actor. He needs the chance to shine
Enough with Steve Burton! I didn’t miss him when he left, Billy Miller has been a welcome change. Don’t know why the Producers have an obsession with him?

GH Nurses’ Ball 2019 Part Three: Trouble Looms For Ava, Cameron’s Heartfelt Song, A Liesl & Franco Duet
Tuesday’s episode of General Hospital brought with it the third installment of the Nurses’ Ball 2019 and this time there were several musical numbers to discuss, as well as story points moving forward.
Obrecht was back and in her full glory and that meant great news to GH fans to see Kathleen Gati appear on the Nurses’ Ball stage again. However, Dr. O brought with her a friend, none other than Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) who joined Frau Liesl in a rendition of the Barbra Streisand/Barry Gibb duet “Guilty”. The combo, obviously a play on how they do bad things to others (or have), and they have nothing to feel guilty about! Then, there was that drop the mic moment, literally!
Cameron (William Lipton) has shown up at the Corinthos’ home to give Josslyn (Eden McCoy) a video message from Oscar (Garren Stitt) that he was holding on to per Oscar’s dying request to give to Joss. Before he leaves, she asks Cameron to stay and watch it with her, but he tells her she should do this alone. Later, Josslyn watches the video on her laptop. Contained in the video is Oscar saying how grateful he was for their time together and that he hopes she will lives life to the fullest, starting with singing their song at the Nurses’ Ball. Next, Josslyn comes down the stairs of the house in her gown ready to honor Oscar and she heads out to the ball.

When Joss arrives, Cameron is now taking the stage. William Lipton performs a song he wrote called “North Star” against the backdrop of emotional images of the friendship between Cameron, Josslyn, and the late Oscar. (You can watch it below. It was one of the highlights of the ball thus far)
Lipton took to his Twitter account after the outpouring of kudos and support after his performance aired expressing: “Thank you so much for all your kind words for the song Cam was singing at #NursesBall2019 The spotlight should be at the GH writers who inspired me to write this song. Their words in the script were so beautiful.”
Ava Jerome also took to the stage as the marvelous Maura West performed “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” as only Ava J. would do! A sultry chanteuse is this Port Charles bad girl, whose night may go from a cool performance to a nightmare now that a gloved figure has knocked out Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom), which only leads to one conclusion .. serial killer Ryan is back. Will Ava get her vengeance and kill the guy, or will someone else?
Courtesy/ABC
Elsewhere in story, Finn (Michael Easton) proposed to Anna (Finola Hughes) on-stage at the ball, and though it was a typical bumbling clumsy moment from Finn, it was all the same endearing, especially when Anna says “yes” to his proposal. Later, the two spend some alone time where Finn explains why he chose the ring he did; harkening back to when she was blackmailing him in Europe (It was a Monaco blue sapphire he chose, and Monaco was the place where they started their unlikely pairing).
Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) tries to warn Sam (Kelly Monaco) about Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin), but her parents Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) come to her aid, and then Sonny once again threatens Shiloh. Later, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) gets a call from Diane Miller that Nina (Michelle Stafford) overhears. On the call, Willow mentions her baby’s father is in Port Charles. Nina learns Willow had a baby, and Shiloh looks at Willow.
Laura (Genie Francis) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) are rescued in Canada, and Laura calls Kevin’s cellphone but it goes to voice message to warn him about Ryan heading to Port Charles. Meanwhile, Curtis calls Chase (Josh Swickard) and tells him that Ryan Chamberlain is alive. and on his way to most probably the Nurses’ Ball.
So, what musical number did you enjoy the most on Tuesday’s Nurses’ Ball? What did you think of Anna and Finn getting engaged? Shiloh overhearing the news about Willow? Josslyn receiving the video message from Oscar to perform at the ball? Comment below.
WATCH: @LiptonWilliam performs his original song, “North Star,” at the #NursesBall – giving everyone the opportunity for a good cry. 😭#GH pic.twitter.com/lncXLWmTu0

GH Nurses’ Ball 2019 Part Two: Cameron and the Llama, Anna’s Speech, Chase Dazzles
On Monday’s episode of General Hospital, it was day two of the annual Nurses’ Ball, and things kicked-off with the opening number by the GH nursing staff, (except Elizabeth) performing the classic hit “Best of My Love” by the Emotions. After the number, the drama started to unfold as the GH Nurses’ Ball always intersects storylines with the event.
Scott’s (Kin Shriner) plan goes awry when he opens Lucy’s (Lynn Herring) hotel room door hoping to find her making out with Kevin (Jon Lindstrom), but only Kevin is there, as Ava (Maura West) figures out what Scott has been up to. Kevin and Ava are continuing their ruse to try to lure Ryan out of hiding, but seem to be enjoying each others company more than they admit.
When Mike (Max Gail) and Yvonne (Janet Hubert) arrive. they show off the engagement ring that Mike gave to Yvonne, which Finn (Michael Easton) sees and realizes that is his engagement ring to Anna (Finola Hughes) that he has been looking for. Finn talks to Sonny (Maurice Benard) and they come up with an emergency plan to get the ring back, which goes off without hitch by Finn giving Mike the fake one Robert (Tristan Rogers) had.

Watching the ball at home, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is with Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth), and Kris flips out when she sees Sam (Kelly Monaco) with Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) at the festivities. Meanwhile, Peter (Wes Ramsey) lowers the boom on Shiloh telling him that Molly (Haley Pullos) will be doing an expose on “Dawn of Day”. At the same time Jason (Steve Burton) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) hatch their own plot to nab Shiloh, and are setting up surveillance cameras at DOD.
Backstage, Cameron (William Lipton), who is ready to perform solo finds Lucy’s llama. and in the most touching moment of the episode has a heart-to-heart with the animal about losing Oscar. William Lipton throughout the episode was terrific.
Now we come to Anna and Robert. Anna wants to set her ex straight by telling him that she will always love him, but she wants to marry Finn, and she doesn’t know what he is up to … but to stop it – since it appears Robert is trying to be the interloper in Anna’s romance with Finn. Later, Finn tells Robert he has his ring back and will propose to Anna

Next, after a rousing intro by Lucy, Chase (Josh Swickard) performs “Something Just Like This” by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay and brings the house down and brings his gal, Willow (Katelyn MacMullan) to the stage with him to dance and finish the musical number.
As the episode comes to its conclusion, three plot points emerge: Kristina shows up at the ball ready to confront Shiloh, as Sam looks horrified.
Cameron shows up to the Corinthos’ home to talk to Josslyn and convince her to come to the ball with him and perform, because the song is a duet, and he says to her that he has a message from Oscar to give her.
Lastly, Robin could not make it to the Nurses’ Ball this year. The annual moving speech falls to her mother, Anna to deliver about surviving and living with HIV (touchingly delivered by Finola Hughes). Robert says he will join her on stage, because Robin is his daughter too. From the sidelines, Robert and Finn start to watch Anna’s emotional speech, Robert finally tells Finn he better make Anna happy. but knocks him in the arm in the process. Finn drops the engagement ring and it ends up at Anna’s feet onstage. She looks to the sidelines and sees both men. Can she figure out who just proposed?
So, what was your favorite moment from the second installment of the GH Nurses’ Ball 2019? Comment below.
General Hospital
GH Nurses’ Ball 2019 Part One: Nina’s Red Carpet Arrival Commentary And Locking Eyes With Jax
On Friday’s first installment of the 2019 GH Nurses’ Ball episodes, it was red carpet time in Port Charles as all of the most famous and infamous residents got dressed to the nines and to impress.
This year, Nina Cassadine (Michelle Stafford) is back for her on-camera hosting duties covering the arrivals on the live-stream, but is joined by Crimson’s New York fashion editor, Sydney Val Jean played by guest star Chandra Wilson of Grey’s Anatomy. And as you’d expect, these two fashionistas battle it out at times on the carpet for attention.
Throughout the arrivals, and through this episode, this one really belonged to the talents of Michelle Stafford, who through her comedic, romantic, and dramatic timing, made for some of the best moments. In a surprise, when Nina begins to choke after interviewing Peter (Wes Ramsey), Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and Lulu (Emme Rylan), she excuses herself and ends up outside where Jax (Ingo Rademacher) appears and offers her some champagne. The two seem to be clearly smitten with each other! Nina accepts his drink, and thanks him, and then goes back inside to her hosting gig, while Jax looks very intrigued by Nina. Previously, Nina gave a major kiss to Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) when he appeared on the red carpet.

Some of the more shocking …. or interesting red carpet arrivals included: Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) showing up with Sam (Kelly Monaco) on his arm, and then getting into words with Sonny (Maurice Benard), who tells the cult leader that family means everything to him and that there is nothing he wouldn’t do for the people he loves. Shiloh is convinced Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) will come back to “Dawn of Day”.
When Anna (Finola Hughes) and Finn (Michael Easton) stroll down the red carpet, they get distracted when a dapper Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) shows up, clearly intent on wooing back Anna, to which Anna looks caught by her feelings for both men while Finn is pissed at the game’s Robert is playing. Later, Finn confronts Robert about his ring.

Everyone was shocked when Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) showed up arm and arm with Ava Jerome (Maura West). We later learn that this is an attempt to smoke out Ryan, who Ava believes will show his face at the ball. Lucy (Lynn Herring), the hostess with the mostess, comes up with a plan to get Kevin away from Ava, not knowing they are not romantically together and tries to, perhaps, rekindle their romance up in a Metro Court hotel room. Meanwhile, Scott (Kin Shriner) wants to get Ava away from Kevin, so he heads up to Lucy’s room with Ava to show her and to catch Kevin and Lucy together, but we don’t know what they saw when the door opened!

Meanwhile in Toronto, Canada, Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Laura (Genie Francis) come to realizing they have been tied up and there is a gas leak in the cabin. Laura realizes Ryan is trying to kill her in an explosion just as he was supposed to have perished in at the fun house years ago. It appears Ryan set a trap for Laura and Curtis and fled the scene. The two extricate themselves before running from the cabin just as it blows up!
Back at the ball other notable couples have arrived from: Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), to Michael (Chad Duell) and Sasha (Sofia Mattson), to Franco (Roger Howarth) and Liz (Rebecca Herbst), to the GH nurses crew.

The episode ends with an announcer telling all the guests to take their seats as its just about showtime! And of note: Is the opening title sequence music changed to a new theme for GH, or is it just for the Nurses’ Ball episodes? That’s one of the buzziest questions today.
So, what did you think of the red carpet arrivals? Michelle Stafford’s performance? Jax meeting Nina? What do you think will happen next with Ryan? Comment below
