NEXT WEEK: The Men Of General Hospital and Kelly Monaco Visit The Chew!

ABC is once again crossing over the talented performers of General Hospital with the cooking foodie/talker The Chew.  But not on an actual fictional episode of the soap opera,  such as with the Relish Wars, but this time, actors themselves will appear on The Chew!

So, that means on the upcoming Thursday October 24th episode, look for some of your favorite men from Port Charles to participate in some cooking and some chatter along with the one GH gal to keep them company, Kelly Monaco (Sam)!

Scheduled to appear from GH are: Roger Howarth (Franco) Jason Thompson (Patrick), Sean Blakemore (Shawn), Tyler Christopher (Nikolas), and the aforementioned Monaco!

The Chew airs weekdays at 1PMEST on ABC.  And in addition to the GH stars next week, Nashville’s Hayden Panettiere will stop by The Chew on Monday, October 21st and help ‘Chew’ host Clinton Kelly make a Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples and then the duo will play a prank on The Chew co-hosts.

So, are you surprised that the often press-shy Howarth is part of The Chew segment?  What do you think about the gang from Port Charles cooking up a storm on the series?  Will you be watching?  Let us know!

Roger has lost his mind.

i can’t wait 🙂

I will defintely be watching.

Won’t watch anything that has to do with the Spew. Not when ABC keeps developing talk shows instead of scripted programs. I won’t add my viewership/DVR ratings to their program. No matter who is on the program.

I agree with you MC!!!!!!!

ahh haa!
I’d bet they are happy campers, not..
ABC must be putting out the big dollars for that one..
ohh well they are under contract with ABC and have to give..

Roger Howarth???? Wow! When was the last time he gave an interview or spoke to the media? He’s so private and rarely gets booked anywhere.

No…maybe…yes…im not sure…probably not because i watch Days at that time and i prefer my soaps…GH is still the best…ok i might tune in during DOOLs commercial breaks…thats if i feel like it…not certain…ill wait and see!!!

Shocked about Roger but not enough to make me watch that piece of crap.

WILL NEVER WATCH THE CHEW!!! I think it’s stupid they are doing it, but in sure arrogant Valentini planned it all!!

Oh My Gosh Roger Howarth as Roger Howarth on the Chew
Yay I need to tune in!
Wish Laura Wright was there too

Love him! And love them together

I WOULDN’T MISS IT!!!
I love all these actors…and my favorite girl, Kelly Monaco!!! She’s dynamite!

This is really a great idea!! Now we can see how kitchen savvy they ALL are!! WILL BE FUN TO WATCH : ) Just love THE CHEW!!!

I don’t like The Chew. Never ever watch cooking shows. And never will! The show makes me throw-up. Not to many soap fans like & watch The Chew(silly name)..That’s my opinion..

I definitely won’t be watching. And for those of you who do, which is your privelege, you are just giving ABC daytime the ratings they can use to justify why they cancelled our other soaps. You know the saying…beware Greeks bearing gifts (Trogan Horse). And I’m sure there was a little arm twisting to get at least the boys there…they want to keep GH on and have jobs.

Eeeeep Roger Howarth is with a bunch of fun people Tyler Sean Kelly and Jason
How in the hell can I not watch this!
I need to see this for myself DVRing it
I wish Laura Wright was on too I know they would have a awesome time

Hold grudges much?

There is nothing ABC can do to make The Chew worth watching. The Chew is a cleverly disguised commercial. The Chew is trash tv.

Gee, if The Chew is “trash tv” in your book, what would you call the likes of Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, Steve Wilkos, etc?

Honestly, we need more daytime shows that are fun and feel-good positive like The Chew and much less of the raunchy, despicable, disgraceful crap that I just mentioned.

The Chew is a commercial. It is boring and contributes the obesity epidemic we have in the US. It is a total waste of time…not a feel good show . Please feel free to put in the same category as Jerry Springer.

People were fat long before the chew…i dont care for the show…but people need to take responsibility for their own actions…they need to take a good look in the mirror and see who is really responsible for making them fat…there was fat people long before tv…people today are LAZY…they depend on fast and convient quick fix meals that were never meant to be consumed often… and adults sit in front of .. we used to find things to keep us active and meals we prepared were often made from scratch and often healthier…we didnt run to some fast food joint as people do today..back when i was a kid we might have eaten out once or twice every two months as a treat but it doesnt seem that way anymore…many dont want to take the time to cook healthy but ive been seeing some change that more people are starting to…like they say ‘Guns dont kill people, people kill people’ and the same rules apply to obesity ‘Tv cooking shows and fast food joints dont make people fat, people make themselves fat’…People are responsible for their own actions especially people who get fat…if i see im at 200 pounds i have the intelligence to know im to blame for that…i dont wait til im 300 pounds and then blame a tv show for it…i know im to blame…im the one who should watch what i eat…now i agree The Chew is boring but who did you blame for the obesity epidemic b4 The Chew ever aired?

Didnt edit enough but big deal…children and adults sit around playing video games, texting or on computer too often…

Overheating is an addiction as is smoking , gambling, etc. Do you put a smoker who is trying to quit in a room full of smokers? The Chew celebrates food which is ok if it is healthy food but The Chew has very unhealthy food most of the time.

I agree with Kate. The Chew is trash. And it is VERY boring! Carla (oh no)! This show should have been put on the food network. That’s it’s proper place & where it belongs. Who in the heck wants to know how to make fish tacos, please!

The Chew has evolved into a nice show and the hosts are endearing. Soap fans need to get over the cancellations. And contrary to what most soap fans think the Chew gets great ratings with better demographics.

I completely agree. When it first came on, I was unsure of how it was gonna be. But, I gave it a chance and I ended up loving it. The hosts are fantastic. Clinton creeps me out with the crafting, lol. I don’t know why, but something about a guy doing crafts just isn’t right. But, it’s a great show. Need to get back into it.

Sorry, I never ever watch food programs. Have no interest to watch one . Never watched a cooking show . Why should I start no. Boring… Glad you like it.

It’s cool, Susan. I used to watching cooking shows all the time when I was little. I don’t watch them as much anymore though.

I’m not really thrilled about the crossover because I won’t watch that program. However, I do hope that GH gets the “heck” promoted out of it during THE CHEW, the way they incessantly promoted that show during GH’s Relish Wars storyline. GH has much bigger stars and they deserve to be promoted big-time; not treated like the proverbial red-headed step-child of the network.

Roger Howarth on The Chew ! ? I will believe it when I see it. The only thing that makes sense is that RH may be one of the celebrity buddies of Battalli and MB does a lot of charity work around NYC to help feed people. If not RH must have lost some kind of bet.

I wasn’t planning on watching… until you said “roger howarth”!! I’ll be recording it for sure! He is a hoot!

I won’t watch. Clinton Kelly called soap fans, including me, moron and turds on his Facebook page. GH is the only show on ABC I watch. Sorry Michael I know you don’t like people posting that. P.S. the only reason the Spew’s ratings are up is because it runs into GH’s 2pm time slot.

Linda you are so right. When I watch the dvr I always get a few actual minutes of the chew just before GH .No I will not watch. Clinto should look in the mirror .The morons are the ones who allow him to make complete fools of them on his CANCELLEd show what not to wear !

I am going to watch because of Kelly Monaco!!!!!!!

But where is Michael Easton.???????

Looking forward to watching!!!!

I will not be watching The Chew on 10/24.. I don’t care who appears on it.. I don’t watch cooking shows. Never watched one in my life , why should I start now. Had no interest in those kind of programs ever…

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!

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

on

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.
