General Hospital fan favorite Kimberly McCullough (Robin Scorpio Drake) has been attached as the director of the upcoming live-action movie Wayward Girls from Nancy Kanter’s revived Available Light Productions entity.

Kanter, who had much success in a three-year deal with Netflix creating kids programming, has now relaunched her company to go further into the YA and adult demo with her new projects in development.

Before Netflix, Kanter was at Disney for 20 years as its VP, Content and Creative Strategy for Disney Channels Worldwide. It was there that one of the series under her auspices was that of High School Musical: The Series, which McCullough directed.

According to Deadline, the “Live-action movie Wayward Girls is a coming-of-age dramedy with an original screenplay by Kristin Belka Maier (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia).”

McCullough’s credits over the years have included directorial nods on several series including: The Bold Type, One Day at at Time, Pretty Little Liars, The Conners, Fuller House, Fantasy Island, Roswell, New Mexico and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, to name but a few.

Happy for all of Kimberly’s success as a director? Would you want to see her come back to GH for a short visit somewhere down the line? Comment below.

Congratulations to Kimberly. Having watched her grow up on GH, I still can’t believe she’s a big time director now. Onward and upward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELL YES! PLEASE bring Robin back!!

I agree with Eric ervole hell yeah please bring her back GH hasn’t been the same since Kimberly McCullough left

Yes iwould love it if she came back.

Fabulous. I would love to see Kimberly return to GH between her directing gigs. However my absolute dream, fantasy would be for Kimberly to direct episodes on GH. Something like the Nurses Ball.

Hell yeah please bring Kimberly McCullough back GH at been the same since she left

I’m very happy her move to directing i working out for her so I’d be contented with Emma being brought back on the canvas (when there is a storyline for her) and have Kimberly show up occasionally if she’d like to do so if it would make sense for her to make a guest appearance in an episode with Emma, Anna and Robert.

I would love to see her come back with Jason. That would be epic.

No you do realize she wanted to be a director she is a bossy bitch in GH and all of you were disgusting about JT. Would not let him have a love interest it was disgusting . You literally attacked that actress who tried to play his love interest ! No wonder he left to go to y&r

If you mean Cinderbrina, she was just a horrible character. Bad with Patrick. Worse with Michael. Intolerable with Carrrrrrllllllos.

Probably the worst ReRon character, with the possible exception of the one who survived a recast and has sucked all life out of the show for the last two years.

But that stops as of Monday… hopefully.

Yep I said it can’t stand her stay awat

Yes bring back Robin back

Interesting…cant make a distinction between Kimberly and Robin? I love the fact that Kimberly has made her own way as director. The selfish side of me misses Robin, her entire family, and her relationships with her parents. I would love her returning to the show briefly, and perhaps bringing Emma for a longer (maybe permanent) stay in Port Charles. Anna needs some family. GH does a terrible job with older women and love. Look at Anna & Alexis! I assume that hubby is not available since he has a leading role in another soap

I’m hoping that Jason’s return (and maybe even the NuJagger character) is reason for Robin to pay a visit to Port Charles in the near future, even if it’s a short stay.

It’s always great to see Robin back on General Hospital I am a 65-year-old woman who has been watching General Hospital since I was 10 years old. Still watching it every day love the show and all the cast.

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

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.
