Hot on the heels of the news this morning, TV Guide Magazine’s Michael Logan released an interview with incoming GH returnee, Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin)!
The word is that Shriner will begin taping next Tuesday, January 22nd and will first air on February 19th. While Shriner is sworn to secrecy and does not know to much about what will go down, everyone is speculating that it will involve the reigniting of the Luke/Laura/Scotty triangle and feud. According to TVG, all ABC would say on Shriner’s return thus far is: “Scotty’s arrival in town will have a ripple effect on the Spencer family!” Here is an except from the interview below:
Shriner on when Scott returns how it will not sit well with Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) one bit!: “Yeah, I don’t think he’ll be throwing Scotty a party. If my character showed up and was involved with Laura (Genie Francis) it would really chap Luke’s hide. He would want to try and win her back, even if he has moved on with his life. This competition between them goes back 35 years so Ron Carlivati (GH, head writer) has so much story to pull from. We thought the ’80s at GH were wild, well, this could be even wilder. I can’t wait to get my grubby hands on that script. I don’t know what they’ve got planned for me. It’s very hush-hush-sweet-charlotte down there at ABC these days. Back in the old days we didn’t have all this texting and googling and tweeting to spoil storylines but, still, at the Luke and Laura wedding, Gloria Monty kept me locked in a trailer so the secret wouldn’t get out that Scotty was there to catch the bouquet. So, really, nothing’s changed!”
So soapers would you like to see Scott and Luke head to head for the love of Laura, one mo’ time? Let us know!

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!

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

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.

I am so happy he is coming back he and Genie Francis work well together thank you FV&RC for really researching this soap and bringing it back to it’s glory.
Oh yeah…Scottie is always fun and Luke would be jealous.
But, really Laura deserves better–perhaps Robert Scorpio?
I love Scotty and I am so happy to hear he is returning to GH. He was quite the teen heart throb in 1973
glad hes back, but not for Laura, what he did to Lulu was unforgivable
More good news! But where oh where is Jackie Zeman??!!
Don’t want Laura back with Luke at all. AG is ancient next to the young and vibrant Francis. He looks like her grandfather. Luke & Laura were good in there heyday but not today,it’s old news and Laura may love Scotty but she’s no longer in love with him so I don’t see that lasting either. Bring back Stephen Nichols and Stefan Cassadine as Genie/Stephens chemistry was off the charts and have them rekindle their love affair. The Luke/Scotty/Laura triangle has been done to death and frankly I’m over it and could care less. Being that Luke stayed with Tracey and didn’t go with Laura even though she told him he didn’t have to doesn’t say much for their love. Stefan would of gone to the ends of the earth for his Lasha. Please no to Luke/Scotty. Laura needs her Cassadine or maybe a man like Mac. She needs to stand on her own without these too losers. Keep Luke with Tracy, Laura’s days of whining after him are long gone and I hope the writers give her something of her own without having to share it with Luke for once! AG has gotten away with murder having all the best stories written for him over the years and getting the longest vacation time over every other actor while GF has been thrown under the bus over and over. Now it’s time to let Genie shine!
I always wanted Scotty and Laura Back together in a Mature relationship (Not a revisit of their youth, like in 2001) . I hope the big secret is scotty and laura are married and have a child. Luke will go nuts and Laura will be more responsible and stronger.
They should bring back Serena as well,Carly Schroeder has become a beautiful young woman,and it would be fun to see Serena come between Michael and Starr.
i hope the story plays out that laura & scotty have been “together” in paris all this time – i can’t wait to see kin & genie back home @ gh!
My first introduction to SOLAR (Scott and Laura) was 12 years ago. I loved them together then and I am looking so foward to seeing them now. And as pointed out, Scott, like Laura, has a lot of history with Port Charles, including Lucy Coe, Kevin, Bobby, the Qs … the “Scotty Baldwin” character has been on General Hospital almost from the beginning and no GH reboot could be complete without including him.
I see that according to IMDB, Peter Hansen and Susan Brown are still around as well. Would be nice to see Scotty visit mom and dad, even maybe just once!
I just love GH now!! I just Love it!! Love that my OLTL people are on here and the old gh people r back!! It is great!! todays show with LUCY and CALEB sooooooooo funny!!!
Can’t wait for OLTL to come back and happy for amc as well…this is a great week in soap news and stories…Robin strasser back too!! love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRING ROBIN BACK PRONTO DON’T MAKE PATRICK LOOK LIKE A FOOL WITH ANOTHER CRAZY BITCH DOCTOR STOP WITH THE VAMPIRES LET SAM AND JOHN FALL IN LOVE SINCE STEVE BURTON ABANDONED HIS GH FANS BRING BACK MATURE CARLEY NOT THE DESTRUCTIVE PATHETIC MESS SHE IS TURNING INTO SHUT TRACY UP SHE WAS GREAT WHEN SHE WAS VULNERABLE WITH LUKE LET TODD GASLIGHT HEATHER LOVE FELICIA AND MACK BRING BACK THE REAL SPINELLI HE AND MAXIE ARE GREAT TOGETHER
Bring back Brenda,we need a Sonny and Brenda reunion. Bring back Laura to be with Scottie,make him nice again and let Luke be with someone else,love Sam and. Silas,let Jason be with Carly,do not bring Ajax back,he is boring. Love Anna and Robert,not Duke,would love a Cassadine adventure again,except Luke is too old for it to be believable,Dante is boring,need a new. Lulu. Nina is boring,Ava is stupid character,love Julian and Alexis,they would be great on a “ice princess” adventure!
