Michael Easton Is Ebenezer Scrooge In GH’s Upcoming ‘Christmas Carol’ Episode
ABC’s General Hospital is ready to serve up some yuletide spirit and fun in their upcoming holiday episode set to air next Monday on December 23rd.
In the special standalone episode, Michael Easton (Finn will be featured as Ebenezer Scrooge.
What will happen when Scrooge, the protagonist of Charles Dicken’s famous A Christmas Carol goes on his GH-version of his journey?
After all, Scrooge is the cold-hearted miser who despises Christmas; but is transformed into a better person and becomes more friendly and less miserable!
In this latest promo for the episode, Easton is in great acting company along with: Maura West (Ava), Leslie Charleson (Monica), Kathleen Gati (Liesl), Roger Howarth (Franco) and many other favorites from Port Charles along for the ride.
Check out the teaser below.
Now, let us know if you are looking forward to the episode featuring Michael Easton as its epicenter via the comment section,
A Christmas Carol, is cool..
it’s never been left out of the Christmas line up.
Every Christmas ”Scrooge” appears, without fail.
but– Krampus, what about Krampus!! is cool also!
Michael Easton as Ebenezer Scrooge is right on..
None better to be chosen for the role.
GH having Easton as Scrooge; two thumbs up!!!
((((what would be awesome!! Krampus vs Scrooge!! lol
I believe I am really going to enjoy this! Looks like fun. Very happy Horwath is in there too, hope they interact, they are very entertaining togethee, bith very talented.
This should be fun. GH always does these special stand alone episodes very well. You can never go wrong with the Charles Dickens classic. My favorite versions were the TV movie where George C. Scott played Scrooge, and the animated Disney version “Mickey’s Christmas Carol”, a childhood favorite from growing up in the 80s that I still watch every holiday season to this day. Glad to see them give Michael Easton a feature episode. I saw Kathleen Gati and Eden McCoy raving about him as Scrooge on Twitter, so I’m really looking forward to this.
Looks good but shouldnt someone like Valentin been Scrooge…or even Sonny or Julian…using a villain would make more sense!!!
Valentin finds Windemere abandon and in ruins…Nicholas the ghost from Christmas Past…Nina the one he lost…Laura warning him he better change, showing him Lulu in an insane asylum after keeping her daughter from him…..Dr. Lisel as death showing Valentin his life in Hell…with Satan-Cassandra or
I’d be willing to show up and play myself to show old Val the Bastard what Hell is really like. And… based on rumors I’ve heard lately, he should also be visited by Dante as “The Ghost of Charlotte Ain’t Your Damn Kid and She Never Was”.
Dante as Dante’s inferno-lol
ATWTs did a wonderful Upstairs Downstairs period piece Christmas episode years ago…
This could be a reason for me to watch GH
Looks fun and lushly done. Looking forward to seeing it.
This blasted impeachment better not interrupt my soaps that day or I’ll be looking to give the boot to more than just one person. Leave our soaps alone!
I think you can safely assume that ImOrangement proceedings will not be taking place next week. The one thing you can depend on Congress always doing is taking off as many Helliday vacation days as they can get away with.
Now having said that, I really wish a supposed “General Hospital” Xmas episode wasn’t centered on the OLTL interlopers.
I am excited and looking forward to this episode THANKS GH writers!!!!

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dex and Josslyn’s Relationship at a Crossroad, Jason Contacts Diane For Help
Previews for the week of March 18-22nd on General Hospital, plus the latest promo for the daytime drama series, share that Jason’s (Steve Burton) return has already affected so many lives, especially given the fact that several key people aka Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Danny (Asher Antonyzn) know his location at this moment.
Eventually, Jason (Steve Burton) will get in touch with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), from what one can only assume is legal help. However, John (Adam J. Harrington) seems hot on Jason’s trail, but the question remains, if Jason was working for John as seemingly revealed in a flashback to keep out of prison, are the two working together … or are they mortal enemies?
Meanwhile, it looks like its curtain for now in the relationship between Dex (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). After Nina (Cynthia Watros) dropped a bombshell about Cyrus (Jeff Kober), Joss gets an earful of information from Dex, when he admits that he was in Cyrus’s hospital room to kill him on orders from Sonny (Maurice Benard).
According to Soap Opera Digest, Eden McCoy shared, ” I think what’s different about this situation, and what pushes her over the edge, is that it wasn’t, like, a self-defense situation. It wasn’t at a shoot-out. He wasn’t protecting Sonny. Cyrus wasn’t doing anything! And I think that really scares her, to see him in the light of voluntarily killing someone in their sleep. That is very different from, like, shooting someone that’s shooting at Sonny. She is just in shock, like she can’t actually believe it.” As told by McCoy, “At that point, Josslyn says.’I can’t do this anymore,’ and makes her exit.”
Take a look below at the rest of the official teasers for the week.

REPORT: General Hospital Alum, Robyn Bernard, Homeless & Battling Addiction, Before Her Passing at 64
Robyn Bernard passed away earlier this week on March 12th, when her body was found in an empty field, which is allegedly behind a 7/11, and some trailer homes, in San Jacinto, California. The actress and singer, and former General Hospital alum, played Terry Brock from 1984-1990 and was 64-years-old at the time of her death.
New reporting on the life that she led over the past year, and longtime mental health issues and struggles with addiction, paint a picture that may have led to her death. Although it should be noted, the toxicology report is currently not completed or released. However, the sheriff department stated that no foul play is suspected.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, friends of Bernard spoke on how she had become part of their homeless community, and that she she struggled with alcohol addiction, and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia through the latter part of her life.
In their accounts, things went south for Robyn when in 2014 she moved to the community in San Jacinto, which is 84 miles from Los Angeles. At that time, she moved into a trailer park for senior citizens and was beloved for her singing by her neighbors.
The report also notes that in 2015, tragically, Bernard’s trailer park home was burned to the ground taking 7 of her 8 beloved cats and all of her possessions. After that, Robin stayed with many people of the community, but the previous management chased her off of the premises. She then broke up with her boyfriend and eventually stopped communicating with her parents.
Bernard’s final home was in a community called Parkview Estates, facilitated by Riverside County’s Adult Protective Services Department. According to police records obtained by Daily Mail, through 2017-2019, Bernard faced numerous DUI drugs and alcohol arrests during that period.
Joni Woods, who lives opposite the space where Bernard’s trailer once was said: ‘I used to see her (Robyn) around town all the time pushing her shopping carts. She always had four or five of them, and I always felt so bad for her.” Robyn’s former boyfriend, Dan Berlin, expressed that the last time he had seen the GH alum was two years ago, “She was out there, talking to herself in a nonsense way. She was a schizophrenic.’
The friends of Bernard shared: “She used to say that Hollywood screwed her over,” adding, “They did her dirty and that’s why she ended up living in San Jacinto of all places.”
Share your thoughts on this tragic story of the last part of Robyn’s life, which again, stresses the importance of trying to find the appropriate help for those dealing with mental illness, being homeless, and addiction.

While ‘General Hospital’s’ Dante Lays in a Coma; Dominic Zamprogna Has Some Great New Portrait Headshots
On General Hospital, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has thus far survived two bullets to the chest, and is laying in a coma. Sam (Kelly Monaco), his lady love, is by his side and beside herself after learning her ex Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is alive and is of the belief that Jason have been the shooter who tried to take out Dante.
Sonny (Maurice Benard) has been wracked with guilt after he wasn’t so kind to his son, before the PCPD cop got shot. Meanwhile, Jason is hiding out at the Quartermaine boat house trying to recover from the gun shot wound he received.
While Dante’s life is still hanging in the balance, it appears that his portrayer, Dominic Zamprogna, took a diverse range of headshot and portrait photos under the eyes of talented photographer Jackson Davis. The photos were posted on Davis’ Instagram account.
A few former GH castmates commented on the photos including Marc Anthony Samuel (ex-Felix) who expressed: “Dante, Dante, Dante…,” and Mark Lawson (ex-Dustin) posted, “Dom!!!! Handle yo’ biz.”
Zamprogna joined General Hospital back in 2009 and has been nominated four times for a Daytime Emmy Award throughout his time thus far on the ABC daytime drama series.
So, what do you think will happen to Dante? Will he wake up and be just fine, or will he have another medical condition? What do you think of Dominic’s new headshots? Comment below.
