Michael Saucedo (pictured here with wife, Rebecca Herbst), who ABC confirmed is heading back to General Hospital has been overwhelmed by the response from fans on the return of his character of Juan Santiago who has been off the canvas for almost 13 years!

To acknowledge all of the love and show of support from GH fans, Saucedo took to his Twitter account where he related:  “WOW! Thank you, thank you for all of the wonderfully kind comments I have received about my return to General Hospital. It has been torture sitting on this secret for the last few weeks. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. @valentinifrank and @carlivatiron – it’s an honor to be a part of a show that means so much to so many. Thank you for thinking of me. #GH50 #Gratitude

Look for Saucedo show up on the canvas sometime in November!  We have an idea of what brings him back to the show, do you?  And, what about pairing Juan with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst)?  Let us know your thoughts!

Maybe for Sabrina’s wedding? Which hopefully in true soap fashion will be interrupted by Robin!!

An interrupted wedding is too predictable…i want Robin to show up but before she can reveal herself she is captured by Faison and Dr.O and returned to Cassidine Island…I want Patrick and Sabrina to wed without any interuption…they go on a honeymoon…Patrick and Sabrina are on a boat that becomes shipwrecked and the newlyweds find they are on what they first believe is a deserted island but it turns out to be Cassidine Island where they then finally come face-to-face with Robin and Jerry Jaxs other hostages…this would be more exciting and suspenseful than another predictable wedding interuption…of course they’ll probably do a wedding interuption anyway!!!

Great idea… Jim!!!

im excited to see what brings jaun back maybe some revenge on sonny for his mom’s death not sure but cant wait and im extremely happy for michale and becky and their family. it will be interesting to see them interact with each other.

I think his response was great and so appreciative of the fans! Glad to see him back!!! Would love to see him with Liz if the story line makes sense!

Juan with Elizabeth was my first thought! Will be so cool for their children to see them on screen together!

Other than a momentary “Hi” scene I’m sure we won’t see Becky. This writing regime has little use for the character of Liz and can’t stop talking about her “baggage” as an excuse. Liz has no more baggage than any other character on the screen and yet she is the only one they can’t seem to write a story for. I’m glad that Michael is back. But I am sure that since Juan is connected with Sabrina, I’m sure he will get way more airtime than his extremely popular, yet constantly undervalued wife.

Liz has become todays version of Jessie Brewer…stands behind a nurses counter with very little to do but listen to other peoples problems and give advice…i really liked her with A.J.

i agree with you about this regime, i’m so dissappointed that liz isn’t a major character, actress Rebeca Herbts is so beautifull, you would think all the men on the show would be falling for her or something yet, nothing. i’m hoping she get put with Nicolas, and i don’t mind her with a.j but this regime needs to stop with the lame excuses and put her front and center.

that’s awesome news….. I always liked Juan!

This 70 year old Grandma is thrilled to have Michael back on the show. Now is the time for the writers to get their act together and spin a compelling storyline for Elizabeth and Juan. Becky has many frustrated fans who are tired of her being put on the backburner, and what better way to correct this than to put her front and center with her handsome real life hubby!

That is a Better idea

From the rumours I’m hearing I hope lily doesn’t come back!!! I’m all for Juan being back, just don’t bring back the dead!!!

Is Zander REALLY dead??? Maybe he could come back as baby daddy #1 cuz Liz needs some love!!!

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

By

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.
