Last night on the November edition of Soap Nation Live with Michael Fairman, we welcomed our very special in-studio co-host The Young and the Restless Kelly Sullivan (Sage) for a lively and entertaining 90 minute broadcast.

Michael and Kelly welcomed their “Soap Nation Live November Sweeps” line-up of guests throughout the show which included: The Young and the Restless Scott Elrod (Joe), The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darin Brooks (Wyatt) and Scott Clifton (Liam), and General Hospital’s Vinessa Antoine (Jordan).

Kelly Sullivan discussed throughout the episode myriad of Y&R related topics including: what it has been like for her working with the new Adam Newman … Justin Hartley, what is potentially going on between Sage and Adam, and why Sage was dressed in a cloak at the church when she was apparently spying on Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan)! Kelly also reveals how she got the call from Y&R’s EP Jill Farren Phelps that the number one soap had a new role specifically in mind for Kelly.

Scott Elrod of The Young and the Restless was the first guest of the night.  One of the newest cast members called-in and admitted he too is trying to figure out what angle, his character of Avery’s ex Joe Clark, is working! Plus, Scott talks about his time on the series Men in Trees and working opposite Anne Heche, and that his mom is a big fan of the soaps.  Then, Scott chimes in on what he thinks of some of his male co-stars including: Steve Burton (Dylan) and Colin (Tristan Rogers).

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darin Brooks (Wyatt) and Scott Clifton (Liam) joined Michael and Kelly (Nathan) in-studio to preview the November Sweeps Amsterdam storyline which kicked-off this Friday on the CBS soap opera.  The duo also commented on the shocking news this week for fans of the series, that their longtime co-star Kim Matula (Hope) has decided to leave B&B and has already taped her final scenes.  Later, Darin and Scott played a hilarious game show segment designed specifically for them entitled, “Which Bro Said DAT?”  In it,  Kelly and Michael read lines of dialog said by either Liam or Wyatt, and Scott and Darin had to try to recall and figure out which one of their characters said it!

General Hospital’s Vinessa Antoine joined Michael and Kelly later in-studio where we got the skinny on what is up with DEA agent Jordan Ashford!  Vinessa also revealed she loves working with Tony Geary, who is now back taping at GH after his medical leave and vacation, and that she does know the true identify of whoFluke” truly is! The talented star also chimed in on: getting the opportunity to work with one of her childhood idols, Finola Hughes (Anna), what she thinks of of the chemistry with her on-screen beau, Sean Blakemore, what she thought of the scenes where Jordan took the rap for Ava running over Jason Morgan, and being tied up in bubble wrap thanks to Heather Webber (Robin Mattson).  The cutest moment of the night came when Vinessa’s young son called in to ask a question to his mom!

Now below listen to the entire broadcast of Soap Nation Live! with co-host Kelly Sullivan, and then let us know what your favorite moment of the episode!

I listened to all the 90 minutes

B&B is last on my list and does not showcase

I enjoyed, “Jordan” of GH… altho … and it’s OK.. I give her credit for pressing… a newbie is just that… she’s a keeper… I think she’s sexy… I love her relationship.. or get back to … Jordan and TJ… thats a big draw… Sean is no slouch either

the big plus… was MF dalliance and showcase.. with his demeanor with Kelly Sullivan.. which is why I tuned in.. you both brung it… was natural and endearing…

it really showed my why… Kelly Sullivan and Michelle Stafford are BFF. ’nuff said. I love these women

I’m ecstatic and through the moon.. that she’s back on … daytime… big deal. I had hoped DAYS would have seen fit to recast her as Sami…

Michael Fairman… you and Kelly were giddy enjoy and plussed throughout… NICE!

What a treat, thank you!!!

I enjoyed the interview with Vinessa Antoine and Kelly Sullivan. Thanks for sharing Michael. Not surprised at all that Vinessa Antoine stated she liked working with William DeVry. Their chemistry jumps off the screen!

I am so sad that Kim Matula is leaving as the role of Hope I cannot imagine the story without her I loved Liam and, Hope story, I cannot stand Quinn story to mean.

thank you so much for posting this michael!

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.

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.
