Michael recently appeared on Grey’s Anatomy and the series Everything is Fine.

Well…. if they pair him up with Maxie, we know he won’t last long. Just ask the last three cops she hooked up with.

You’re definitely deserving of your “name.”

I’ll take that as a compliment. Are you enjoying my work on Days??

Loved your work on DAYS at first, but I think you have overstayed your welcome.

Poor Maxie!! Too soon to make any predictions–Nonetheless, will new cop, Rory, be the good cop or be under your spell, Satan, as the bad cop?
Methinks, he is developing some feeling for Trina….Unless, he is working for Ryan or Victor, as a spy.

Fantastic casting choice, I love when GH adds more diversity and inclusivity. I’m not sure of the name Rory, however, I approve of this casting choice. What will Chase do…? Will he finally re-join the cop squad with Dante and Nu-Jordan? Where’s Valerie???? She just vanished…. a new recast would be important, to keep the Spencer family dynamics in play.

I agree! Where is Valerie? GH needs to strengthen their police force!!

I don’t want to see less of Officer Chase…

Chase is a detective, the new guy is a uniform officer.

Story wise, it looks like they may be heading down a Frisco route with Chase – cop by day, singer by night.

Sorry Steve…i used “officer” as a generic term..but you are correct.

I noticed this new “officer” in the interview room gaurd when Trina was being held.

No need to apologize.

Rory’s soft intro is very unusual which makes the character even more intriguing.

Also, per Friday’s credits, Robert Gossett is now on contract which means the Marshall storyline will be kicking up.

Thanks Steve… lol..it’s Canadian trait…

It’ll be interesting to see what he brings to the table. Maybe another long-lost Wu relative that could spark some spice with Britt Westbourne? Or maybe awaken Mikey’s true sexuality?

Michael isn’t gay

Here we go again — more unnecessary characters brought in. We already have Chase and Dante…or are we filling up the police department to handle the upcoming crime resurgence? We can see Madame Wu pulling Brad’s strings and Sonny will have to refocus energy on his syndicate. I resist new characters when existing ones are underused. So, hopefully this young man will offer something special.

Yes, let Sonny wake up and reclaim his place…this whiny person he’s become is a . and lose the Nina connection. Selena Wu cannot take over, please let Brad get some “grit in his craw” and tell Auntie that “enough is enough”.

He has a little Asian look going. I hope he’s not a plant of Mrs. WOO

Hey why not? If Sonny can have a son in the PCPD why can’t she, right?

I spoke too soon. Looks nothing like his picture. This young man is adorable and hope he’s a good guy.You can tell he likes Trina, and she needs someone as good as she is and nothing like that spoiled, two-faced Spencer.

Oh, my gosh!! By his picture, my first thought was that he’d be an addition to the College crowd—That’s how young he looks to me. LOL—
Welcome—

Maybe Esme will use him to help her. Or maybe he is her secret brother. Or Victor hired him for no good?

It definitely can’t hurt ‍♀️ So many of these story lines are going know place. I don’t really care for the New Trina either she seems robotic to me . doesn’t have that real effect as the other Trina did .

Right

It can’t hurt. Many of the story lines are going No place. I don’t even like this new Trina she seems robotic Doesn’t have that real feel to her like the original Trina did.

It always takes a while to get used to new characters. Give her a little more time to get comfortable. I’m sure she’ll be great : )

CeeCee ( derivative of Cecelia) has been my nickname from birth!!—WOW!! I switched to “Celia” because my account was hacked. It’s weird seeing it here. I have never ever encountered it before now. I’ve seen “Cece”, “Cici” and “Cicci”, but never as “CeeCee”….Hmmmm….
And, I agree with Doris. NuTrina has not grabbed me yet. However, you’re right. Let’s wait and see.

Hi CELIA! Yes, nuTrina is competent and seems dedicated to the role. I think what’s happening here is that every so often, a performer has that special quality that just can’t be forgotten. Sydney Mikalya is one. It’s no one’s fault. I have my list of daytime performers who just can’t be replaced…Maura West, Billy Miller, Jane Elliot, Jeanne Cooper. Makes you appreciate when shows find that special talent (like Josh Swickard).

Maybe he’ll get involved with Amy. Her name came up a couple of times this week.

he was really nice to trina today i knew he was going to be important to the show.

Yes, Brenda, I thought he seemed wary of how badly Spencer was treating Trina and then…the most romantic can of soda I’ve ever seen. He won me over right away with a can of pop…not sure what that says.

Soaphound
Oh, I agree, she seemed surprised as well.

Oh Violet, I am SOOOOO mad at that tool known as Spencer Cassadine. How DARE he trot down to the station just to tell Trina that he believes that she-witch Esme is innocent. “Oh Trina, I wanted to believe you but…” Bull Puckey! The only “butt” is him! He’s a spineless jellyfish with good hair. I hope this sweet new cop is genuine. I’d love to see Spencer jealous and squirming in Esme’s evil cauldron!

Soaphoud
Tell us how you really feel, you go girl! My sentiments exactly. I’d add more if I could think of it. That girl is the worst. Thought Ava would have a coronary when she saw her sitting there. I’ve been trying to remember ever gating a character as much as this one.

I was thinking someone for Trina

I think there already is a connection between Rory and Trina. Some of the looks he’s given her are already stoking the fire…he will prove to be the one to get the “goods” on Esme and Ryan. Yes, there is a romantic thing going on with Spencer and Trina, and she is good for him, but Roy will cause Spencer to wish he’d made a better decision than staying with Esme. Perhaps he’s just lying low until he gets proof that Esme is guilty and NOT pregnant…Don’t wait too long Spencer!!!!

Answer me this;
Why does every male or female that enters GH (all) soap need to be hooked
with someone from near day one..
There are millions of men and women that are single.
Is it a sin to be single on a soap, it is not realistic, not even close.
There are a tremendous number of single people who love it.
I want single people that love their lifestyle.

SuOOO
Love your question and it’s true. The minute a new guy or gal enters the show, a lot of us and I do it too, are already trying to figure out who they might pair well with. I have only two theories to offer. One, they are helpless romantics or is the other thing that the Soaps are the only place they find love, very sad.

Agreed on the single character front. On GH, I appreciate Britt’s not being desperate to find someone new.

However, actors know soap job security comes with being part of a popular couple. Brando and Sasha, two characters who have little purpose on the canvas make a rootable couple which justifies keeping them around. While Scotty and Liesl are both popular characters, pairing the two was a brilliant move that showcases each character’s softer side.

With soap economics the way they are, we’ll likely never see another Amy Vining, on contract for nearly 20 years with maybe one relationship.

Well said, Steve. Soaps are basically fantasy, right? I guess most of us enjoy a love story that works. Same with movies; even mismatched lovers make great movies, like THE WAY WE WERE; GONE WITH THE WIND; CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD; CASABLANCA; etc.

I can’t agree more!

I wonder what he was up to today listening in on Jordan and Dante. He seems very interested in Trina’s case and her. Hope it’s in a good way.

Ava

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!

Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.

Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?

At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.

Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.

Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?

Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.

Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt  Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.

You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.

Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
