After a chance encounter with Charlie at a roadside bar, Dorian suggests that he kill Mitch as a way to solve all their problems.  Viki’s relieved when Charlie returns home without having resorted to drinking.  Rex tells Bo how Mitch made a move against Stacy to try and get her baby.  Bo lets Rex know he can turn to him at any time if he ever needs anything.  Gigi picks up on the fact that something’s bothering Schuyler, who’s privately worried Kyle, might spill the beans about Rex not being the father of Stacy’s baby.  Kyle hates keeping Schuyler and Stacy’s secret about the baby.  Stacy tells Kim she’s afraid the truth about the baby will come out when she fails to give birth by Valentine’s Day because her actual due date isn’t until a month later.  While doing research on the internet, Kim learns about a drug called oxytocin that’s used to induce labor and decides to enlist Schuyler to help her and Stacy get their hands on some of it.  Natalie and Jessica are dismayed to find that Kim has moved into the mansion with Clint.  Tea and Danielle arrive at Rachel’s after returning from Tahiti.  Tea tells Rachel that Danielle learned Todd’s her father but doesn’t mention the fact that Ross is alive.  Meanwhile, Blair takes a sullen Todd to visit Starr on her birthday but nothing can get his mind off of missing Tea.  Tea goes to see Todd, who’s happily surprised by her return.  Tea reveals that Danielle knows the truth that Todd is her father.  Rachel’s evasive when Danielle questions her about Todd.  Once alone, Danielle decides to start doing some research on Todd online.  Schuyler balks when Kim asks him to get her oxytocin to induce Stacy’s early labor but she makes a strong argument as to why he should do so.  After learning that Fish slept with Stacy, Kyle considers the possibility that Fish could be the father of her baby.  Langston confides to Blair that she fantasized about Ford while having sex with Markko.  Matthew tries to make things right with Destiny.  Rex and Stacy meet with Eli to discuss guardianship of their baby should something happen to both of them.

Todd’s taken by surprise when Tea tells him that Ross is alive and was the one responsible for convincing Danielle to return to Llanview.  Todd dreads the thought of having to explain his sordid past to Danielle.  Meanwhile, Danielle has already learned all about Todd’s misdeeds after researching him on the internet.  Matthew’s surprised to find Danielle at Rachel’s.  Danielle voices her despair to Matthew over the fact that Todd is her father.  Tea returns to Rachel’s only to find the apartment empty.  Fish is flabbergasted to think it’s possible he could be the father of Stacy’s baby.  Kyle and Fish confront Kim and Stacy threatening to go to Rex and Schuyler with their suspicions.  Kim and Stacy, however, force Fish and Kyle to keep quiet or risk them destroying Kyle’s medical career.  Fish and Kyle decide to bide their time and plan to have the baby’s DNA tested after it’s born.  After being put on the spot by Cristian and Layla, Markko’s forced to invite Ford to Starr and Langston’s party at Capricorn.  Langston, who can’t shake sexy thoughts of Ford, can barely hide her upset after learning he’s coming to her party.  Marty refuses to help Todd redeem himself in Danielle’s eyes.  Todd’s horrified when Tea alerts him to the fact that Danielle has already learned about his unsavory past via an internet search.  In an effort to help Danielle come to grips with Todd being her father, Matthew introduces her to Starr.  Jessica receives a letter from Mitch asking her to meet him on the docks alone.  After leaving Jessica under the watchful eye of a fellow cop, Brody decides to confront Mitch himself.  Nurse Charles sets her sights on Jessica.  Not wanting to let her know what he’s really up to, Charlie devastates Viki when he leads her to believe he’s drinking again when she follows him to the roadside bar where he’s meeting Dorian.  Charlie tells Dorian he’ll kill Mitch for her.

Starr tries to give Danielle some insight into Todd.  Todd and Tea are anxious to find Danielle.  Todd wonders if it would be best if Tea just returned to Tahiti with Danielle but she assures him they’ll work together to explain things to their daughter.  Brody plays into Mitch’s hands when he confronts him on the docks.  John stops Brody from killing Mitch with his bare hands.  Brody’s desperate to get to Jessica but an arriving Lowell orders his men to detain him.  Lowell has John arrested after John stops the cops from going after Brody when he makes a run for it.  Jessica falls into Nurse Charles’ clutches.  Charlie and Dorian seal their pact.  Langston doesn’t resist Ford when he kisses her.

General Hospital

Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

Published

on

By

Josh and Kristen

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.

The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.

Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?

Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.

So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?

Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.

Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

Published

By

Billy, Sally and Adam

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.

The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.

In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY

Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.

Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.

Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT

Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.

As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!

Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

Steffy and Finn

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.

But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”

Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”

Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.

Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!

“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.

You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.

Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
