It’s New Music Friday! And you know what that means! Independent and major label artists drop either their latest single, music video or both! In the case of General Hospital alum, Joshua Benard (ex-Adam Wright) and the real-life son of GH series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), December 12 marks the release of his music video to his track, Ladybug.

Joshua wrote the song, and shared how the impetus for the track came about during a recent Instagram video. “One day my mom was calling me and she said, ‘I thought of your ex today because I saw a ladybug,’ so i wrote this song,” Benard explained before breaking out into his tune.

The music video for it, now on Joshua and Lara Haciosmanoglu You Tube Channel has credits that include: Video stars: Joshua Benard and Mireia Jiménez Pinilla Director: Lara Haciosmanoglu Producers: Lara Haciosmanoglu, Paula Benard, and Joshua Benard DP: Karson Kane Steadicam: Collin Scouten 1st AC: Anna Dalesio Grip/PA: Connor Lattery Art Design/PA: Mary Ruby Smith Ladybug Costume: Alethia Moore Editor: Nickolas Krueger Color: Rudy Pesci.

In honor of the release of the music video, Maurice Benard shared a video of very young Joshua singing along to Justin Bieber while also announcing the release of the music video for Ladybug. The three-time Daytime Emmy winner shared, “Found this in the archives @jjbenard has always been singing. This @lilbieber song singing to his sister was precious, but I don’t think I’ll see it again. Joshua is now pursuing a career in music. He is self-taught in piano, guitar, and singing for that matter. His new song LADYBUG just came out, doing extremely well. Thanks to you all. His Music Video Comes Out FRIDAY.”

GH fans know Joshua played the part of PCU student, Adam, who’s character arc did a 180 after he first appeared in 2022, when viewers thought the character was a real jerk. At that time, Adam made insensitive comments towards Josslyn (Eden McCoy) for the sex video that went viral at the campus of Joss and Cameron Webber (William Lipton). Later, after he apologized for his bad behavior, he started to have panic attacks and mental health issues due to the pressure he put upon himself to get straight A’s in college to please his father, only to have his life spiral out of control.

In 2023, Adam had a potential suicide attempt overdosing on dextroamphetamine pills, and the character was eventually written off the show come February of 2024. Adam left the canvas with the hopes of getting back on his feet, and to become more mentally stable, and to get out from under his father’s thumb and needing his approval as a meadure

Now below, check out Joshua’s official music video for his song, ‘Ladybug’ and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below, and if you would like to see hin return to ‘General Hospital’ some time down the line.

Congrats to Joshua on the music.

But, no, there isn’t a need for him to return to GH. There’s a plethora of legacy characters in his age group that deserve storylines. He did fine on his brief stint as Adam, but let’s get Cameron and Spencer back on the canvas. It’s pitiful how Elizabeth doesn’t have one of her sons active in story while she spends her time doing product placement spots.

William Lipton overacts so I’m fine with him staying away.

At this point it could be a recast Cameron.

Published

By

Jason and Britt

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.

If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.

Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.

One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired

Published

Finola Hughes

The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.

Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.

Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET

Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.

Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT

At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.

Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.

The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.

So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
