Here’s some news that should make some One Life to Live and Blair Cramer fans happy! After being off the Port Charles canvas for awhile, Kassie DePaiva will be returning for another stint on General Hosptial!  While DePaiva admits to not knowing all the details as of yet, she is excited to return to the lone ABC soap and work with series EP, Frank Valentini again, and co-stars, Roger Howarth (Todd) and Kristen Alderson (Starr)!

DePaiva was in San Francisco over the past week filming another one of her NoNo infomercials when she got the news.   In her latest blog post on her website,  Kassie had this to say below about her imminent return to GH!

Kassie:  “I received a call from GH’s executive producer Frank Valentini… My friend… And he said there is something coming up on the canvas for Blair. I guess it must be true because Carolyn Hinsey tweeted that I would be coming back for a “nice stint”. I’m not sure what that means exactly… But maybe that’s a good sign. I’m always excited to put Blair’s hat back on and to walk in her shoes. GH is looking good these days.”

So soapers, what do you think will bring Blair back to Port Charles? Are you excited to see Kassie again?  Let us know!

yippie………love to see her again……..anytime. GHis gettin better and better.

I Agree !!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!

Am guessing she will be crucifying Todd alongside Tea, haha

Should be when we find out Victor is alive and she forgivs Todd and stil loves him, just to find out he switched her gal (Tea’) pal’s baby. Another screw up for Todd!

I will forever miss OLTL and a daily visit with Blair in Llanview. I wish there was a way GH could welcome Kassie dePaiva to the family permanently. She is a great talent in daytime. As she is NYC based, I pray I will read she will grace the Broadway stage sometime.

I agree. Still miss my OLTL terribly. That void can NEVER be filled. Why GH hasn;’t signed her on yet is beside me, don’t get it. She is daytime biggest asset! I also SO agree about Broadway she would be OUTRAGEOUS & I know I’d go in to see her DEFINETLY!

I LOVE it! Blair is the ultimate bad girl that you just can’t help loving. And I think a friendship between Blair and Carly would be mind-blowing.

That would be interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best news today !

DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m always happy to see Blair/Kassie return to GH! Hope it will be a nice, long visit.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ME THREE

Love Kassie, and Blair! CONTRACT CONTRACT CONTRACT!!!!

That would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news for Kassie and fans. I enjoy it when she mixes it up with Todd.

As for the ‘NoNo,” I had no idea she did commercials for that product. I never noticed her in them before. I don’t know if it is just me, but that has got to be one of the dumbest names for a hair removal product. 🙂

she’s been their spokeswoman for a long time now. She’s in the infomercials and print ads.

What do you think of what happened on GH today (MONDAY)?????? Elizabeth lying…John’s letter from Natalie That she met someone else,And Sonny’s wedding that Kate ie Connie & black mailing Johnny…Maxie is jealous of Spinelli’s date & the trey blowout……………..John kissed Sam..This only happened because of Eklisabeth’s lying..And then told Jason the truth…And about Sam’s baby tommorrow…GH IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KA-BOOM exploding!!!!!

I could not agree more ! Can’t wait to see tomorrow show !!!!!

Also like the other day when Heather was talking to baby Victor and how they had to leave town, and that she had heard “Pine Valley” was nice this time of year.

More power to Ron C. and Frank V. What a powerhouse GH could be by blending all three ABC soaps into one massive show. I can deal with only have one hour of soap time this way.

And nice that ABC and The Chew did the spots with five of the GH stars, gotta say it the only time I gave The Chew the time of day.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

GH needs Blair on for good, with Tea and Todd.

Hey Blake!

Oh no GH doesn’t! GH doesn’t NEED Blair. It’s NICE to see Blair, but she isn’t NEEDED.

How is she not needed.Todd and starr are now a part of GH and blair is the love of todds life and visa versa she is also starrs mother and mother to todds other children. There are plenty of potential storylines she could be in with and without todd and starr. Now talk about not needed how about TREY MITCHELL SCULLY AND HIS BORING FATHER JOE JR. They are CERTAINLY not needed! I hope they give kassie a contract ASAP!!!

I disagree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I alway’s liked Blair….And she is coming back to Port Charles………….It will be good to have her imput on Gh…And would like her to stay for a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I disagree!!!! I like Blair & I alway’s have………..And she is coming to Port Charles!!!! And I would like her stay for a while……….She will be part of the team…Team player……………………She will blend in for sure…..

I agree, GH doesn’t NEED Blair, anymore than it NEEDS anyone right now. GH is on fire, but it would be awesome if she were put on contract.

I agree with Sheri she has a lot of good points in her comment….Like she said Todd ,Blair,Starr are part of GH…..They are part of the team ………

Come on Frank, bring her to Port Charles permanently… She will replace Sam as my favorite. Love Blair. Kassie deserves a contract!

Sam is a superstar! She can act and dances her ass off!

There is plenty enough room for the both of them on GH………………

Oh, I agree…I love Kelly Monaco, and Sam is my favorite right now. In fact, I just started watching when OLTL went off the air, and I like Sam more than all the refugees, but I adore K&ssie Dapaiva! I have since she played Chelsea Reardon on GL!

I hope they give her a contract soon. Loving everything about GH. Still pining for Clint, Natalie and Blair to join the show.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! Give her a contract!!!!!!!! She has great chemistry on GH!!!!!!

Hell yeah!!!!

Kassie said: ” I’m always excited to put Blair’s hat back on and to walk in her shoes. GH is looking good these days.”

1loveabcsoaps says: I’m SURE Gh is…… hummmm

Can we expect some of the spicy, tough Blair? I like her when she gets down and dirty.

Finally, Roger’s acting soulmate, and Todd’s One True Babe, is returning to GH. I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to see The Mannings reunite on GH.

I FEEL the same way cant wait to see the mannings reunite on gh

Me Too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really excited about this gig. Hopefully it’s as short as her last appearance!!

Gee Scott…. that like all of us GH fans saying “glad you lost ATWT” !

I’m a GH fan, I understand that ATWT is gone, and I’m not going to like all the decisions made. I have my right to voice my opinions Brian. Gee, did ya think of that?

Yes Scott I did think of that. And yes, all of us are here to voice an opionion. Isn’t that what we all do here?

I want to be a long stay!!!!! (OLTL FAN) And not her last appearance……She has connections in Port Charles which is her daughter Star & Todd also John McBain which she was close to at one time…..GH is SMOKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t. I don’t find that Blair adds anything to the canvas, plus I find Kassie to be a very bland, one-dimensional actress.

All I have noticed is that they are writing the sames stories over on GH with just different charaters, this latest stunt with Liz did they not do that with Marty? No imagination and I like the actress K Depavia but is this round 850 of her and Todd.

Read Sheri’s comments on 10/2 at 4:08a.m. !!!!! She made a lot of good comments which I agree with…Please read her comments !!!!!!!!!!

Blair , Todd , are part of GH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of interestings stories to come with them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love Blair and adore Kassie DePaiva. I hope she gets a contract real soon she is a wonderful addition to GH! CANT WAIT to see her and todd together again!!!

Thrilled that Blair/Kassie is returning to GH! The OLTL characters are what brought me back to GH, and I really wish Blair would have a more regular presence on the show. Hope this is a long visit.

Great news but would like to see some AMC stars.

Paging Dr. David Hayward, or Dr. Angie Hubbard, or the hippest cop ever, Jesse Hubbard. Any or all three would be welcome additions. Along with Blair Cramer from OLTL, of course!

I love Cassie and I love Blair. Make the move to Port Charles and make GH interesting again!

I would love for Natalie from OLTL come to Port Charles to put closure to John Mc Bain. Have her tell him off in person. Tea, Blair are great actresses and can bring a lot to the Port Charles Table. Heck we can more than 1 attorney can’t we. OOOO Image that …

Did anyone know the movie Change of Habit from 1969 staring Elvis, Mary Tyler Moore & Jane Elliot (Tracy from GH) About three nuns & she is one of them . She plats Sister Barbara…Elvis plays a Dr…………..But they don’t wear their habit and they wear regular clothes to assit presley as nurses..That’s their mission they were sent out to do…Jane Elliot(tracy) is a very young..Didn’t know who she was years ago when I first saw this movie. I have the dvd now & i watched the movie & reconized her..Has anyone ever seen this movie???????????????????/’

I can hardly wait but bring Victor quickly so that Tea is not too upset when she loses the baby. What a freaking fantastic show and I know more are coming. Frank and Ron have made the best show I have ever seen. Thanks guys. Put Blair on contract.

I am so happy to know that I will be seeing Blair again!! Please find a good part for her to become a regular on General Hospital. Todd needs to have some Blair in his life again.

Published

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!

FINOLA HUGHES RETURNS

The final moments of the teaser promo reveal Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France. We have not seen her for months after Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal fed her hallucinogenics to make her believe her arch nemesis, Cesar Faison was alive!

Now, the doctors walk towards her hospital bed, where we see the super spy calmly knitting. Is Anna back to normal and playing everyone to get out of her predicament, or does she still remain deeply traumatized … or both?

Take a look at the rest of the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, JUNE 22
Willow gets an unwelcome surprise. Trina sticks to her guns. “Nathan” wants reassurance. Ethan advises Ava. Brook Lynn receives an update.

TUESDAY, JUNE 23
Dante cautions Liz. Laura learns a secret. Brook Lynn confides in Michael. Sonny challenges Ava. Chase makes a decision.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24
Anna meets with her doctor. Carly makes a stunning confession. Britt extracts a promise. Cullum pulls a fast one. Gio and Emma hit the pool.

THURSDAY, JUNE 25
Josslyn clashes with Cassius. Lulu and Dante make a discovery. Chase receives a warning. Jordan seeks help. Alexis is summoned to the PCPD.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26
Anna takes a huge risk. Britt is in grave danger. Willow is in disbelief. Danny must act fast. Curtis jumps to the wrong conclusion.

Check out the latest General Hospital promo entitled, “Rescue Mission” below.

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

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

Published

on

By

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.
