Brucas fans, it looks like the twosome is getting some on-screen action.

Last week, Ryan Carnes (Lucas) made an appearance when Lucas announced to Bobbie (Jackie Zeman) and Carly (Laura Wright) that he and Brad (Parry Shen) planned on adopting a kid. Then, Lucas went into doctor-mode after Nathan (Ryan Paevey) was shot by Faison (Anders Hove).

Now comes word from the other half of the on-screen pairing, Parry Shen.

In an Instagram post and video, Parry let it be know he is back at GH stating: “Had to pop into a hospital real quick.”

So, will we be seeing more of Brad and Lucas as they try to adopt a child? Comment below.

I’m sure he is just here for the day to pacify fans. Why not dump HELLE, CRYCHAEL, NINA and AMY and sign Brad, Lucas and Britt to a damn contract!

YES!

Yes, too!

Adoption for Brucas. Maybe they will adopt Finn and Hayden’s baby. Good soapy stuff

Brad winding up with Finn’s baby. That’s a great idea, based on character history.

Dont watch much///just catching a few glimpse….when Laura is back full time then maybe i will watch more….Brad and Lucas will probably get involved in a black market baby ring after being denied adoption by some bigoted religious fanatic(kind of loosely based on some recent wedding cake news)

That would be a case of history repeating itself…

Long time viewers will recall Bobbie initially got Lucas through the black market. His birth mother, Cheryl was told her baby died. Robert, who Cheryl initially thought was Lucas’ bio dad, took Lucas away from a devastated Bobbie.

Cheryl left PC with Lucas. She died a year or two after and chose Bobbie and Tony to raise Lucas over her own sister.

Brad and Brad are loved wanted & needed on screen..
However, I do not see an actual story for them..
Both will be in and out short stay but nothing solid.

Hope I’m wrong but I doubt that I am 🙁

I love hearing this. If I had my way, Felix would be around too. I would say if Lucas and Brad are trying to adopt a child that Brad might be a little different from when we last saw him. Still can’t wait to see him.

it’s about time – YES

danged it THO… seeing Lucas and bobbi … YEAH this is what it’s like for fans weary on scraps… vets… glimpse – MIA

LOVE SO MUCH OF THE CAST

I doubt they’ll show up for many than a few episodes and then they will disappear again.

I wanted Brad to share scenes with Britt during her last visit. Maybe he will visit Britta in Pentonville.

They’ll be on 5 episodes then disappear for another year. Isn’t that the GH way?

I sure hope so but I’m not watching until the Genie issue is resolved. Not one comment from Frank or anyone in power at ABC or GH. They just dropped the Laura story like a bad habit, so I can drop it too. I can watch Brucas scenes on YouTube. I do love Brucas

Finally! We know it’ll be short term though. He’s implied and GH doesn’t seem to know what to do with gay storylines. I’m glad that at least they are looking into another step for Brucas!

Would love sexy Bad Boy Brad to return IF they give him an actual story, not just exposition or comic relief. Ditch dull, drab, Peter and give Brad his screen time. I have no patience for Wes, or in this role, Wuss Ramsey. Would rather have more of the unsung hot couple, Brad and Lucas.

OK – I’m ante up – coming to bat @the Wussman.

boffo – marquee that. yeah, i’m going to snip and charge and hopefully with fellow posts, make a dent folks

yes, I’ve inferred nepotism and plenty at the production value

Wes “RAMSEY” is n-o-t making an impact… allow me if you will @dmr. their is a “flatline” with : Wuss RAMSEY

so he gets a one year contract. for ???? Lulu ?

when any thing is forced @ the audience… I am praying to the soap god that @Peter does not become Anna son. NOT GOING TO BUY

hopefully… tho… when Anna was in the hosp as Faison told Anna… he was at the Metro Court @Crimson… and he said that he shot the wrong one .

this is the one who did not follow orders ????

Wes Ramsey : there are no defining character traits from which to invest.

Unfortunately, Peter isn’t going anywhere. Wes Ramsey is Laura Wright’s boyfriend, and nepotism is running amok at ABC. TPTB would rather drop a legacy actress, and not write a viable storyline on gay adoption, marriage, or any other social issue to make room for the mob and now, the boyfriend-who of course has been written as a character with ties to important characters.

Amen, Peter can pack it up!

I like these characters but I would have preferred they hadn’t pulled the Laura for mayer story. I would gladly trade the Nell and Michael story for Brad and Lucas.

No one thinks the return of Brad and Lucas to canvass and wanting to adopt around the same time Nelle AND Maxi are expecting is a coincidence? Baby swap much?

Where are the closet Brad fans clamouring for his backstory to finally be told?

– marriage to Rosalie as dictated by HELENA freakin CASSADINE????

– bio parents from the 80’s Asian Quarter triad storyline, the infamous Wu Family, which gave him up for adoption?????????

Any writers around?

So true Grant.

I liked Brad with he was teamed up with Brit. Hope we see that side of Brad more.

I loved Britt and Filex …

Predicting they will somehow adopt Nelle’s baby. Hopefully after she dies in childbirth under suspicious circumstances

I did not see Lucas at all yesterday even though I thought he had said he would be around. I have always enjoyed Brad and glad he is going to pop in-hoping there is enough in the budget to have him and Lucas on at the same time. I sure enjoyed seeing Britt when she was back, but unlikely to see her again-or Shawn Butler. Some stay in prison, others just pass through. I really like Dr. Obrecht, and love when she is on, but always fear she is going to get axed. I don’t know what has happened to Epiphany, but sure she is not alone. She used to be on contract, too. Nice to see Bobbie, but don’t understand what her exact position is at the hospital? Also, did she ever remarry after Tony or no or?

Bobbie is the official head busybody at GH, although Aunt Stella is hot on her heels in usurping that role. And by the way, I think she’s stashing Epiphany at an undisclosed location on Charles Street because they were once high school rivals for the same man and Stella lost and hasn’t gotten her groove back ever since, which is why she is always so crabby. As to why Lucas mentioned that Brad was adopted in his chat with Carly and his mom??? (Per your previous query, Phyllis…) I think it was to remind us that Mr. Cooper has a legacy link with the Wu (But not “Tang”) Clan that reaches back to GH’s glory days…

That’ll be awkward…Finn and Brad. They didn’t exactly leave off on good terms. And, how will Lucas interact with his co-worker, Finn, knowing how Brad backstabbed Finn. That’s IF they stick around long enough for that interaction to even happen.

Glad to see both characters back: Lucas and Brad. I really think they dropped the ball with Felix. Great character. I could see him being besties with Amy at the hospital (now that Sabrina’s gone).

Naturally… Frank VAlentini had the writers “shiitt” on quality characters who can act… to service his pet. Michael Easton as Finn.. is so stuck. he resonates nothing

I wouldn’t say Brad backstabbed Finn…he had a right to ask for his share of … WOW Finn is now holding a patent , which rescued GH… is their no bounds to being all that ?

Finn is wasted space

I like Finn, Patrick, though I’d like him to be less goofy! His eccentricities have calmed down a lot since he made his debut, but I’d like to see some of his sexy John McBain confidence return.

I do agree that Brad had a right to be pissed. I wrote that a while ago on another thread defending Brad. But now I’m doubting myself! I can’t remember exactly what Brad’s role was in the cure. If I remember correctly Finn found the cure and asked for Brad’s help; Brad let him use the lab even though at the time Finn’s rights were revoked…and I THINK, but I”m not sure…did Brad help Finn make more of the cure because Finn had given the last batch to Hayden to save her life?

In the end, Brad tried blackmailing Finn into giving him a large share of the profits from selling the cure and then tried to have Finn fired…went to Monica to tell her he was a drug addict, etc. It was more the Brad of old rather than the good guy Brad had become.

Funny how on one thread I defended Brad and now I’m seeing the other view.

I never think that producers “have pets”, etc. I know that’s the battle cry from many on this site but I don’t see it that way. All I see is a business; and they (the producers/writers, etc) do what they think will bring in viewers and revenue. Not saying they’re always right and obviously it doesn’t always work as ratings go up and down…but there is no advantage to a producer/writer only hiring or propping friends or favorites if it doesn’t translate into ratings.

That’s not to say that I don’t think it’s never personal. Example: Sean Kanan. Didn’t get along with Ron? Fired. Genie Francis? Still not sure what the deal is there…I can’t believe it’s age because Finola, Nancy, Kathleen (Dr. O), Felicia…they’re all in the same age bracket. I just don’t think they ever evolved her character beyond mother/grandmother and didn’t expect the fan outcry that they got. They may reverse their decision yet…

Oh. I was convinced Peter was Faison’s son. Now, I’m thinking Franco might be…but doesn’t even know it himself! Or, Peter is…but Franco is involved. But he’s not aware of his own involvement…

The only wasted space I see on GH is Aunt Stella.

Me/lori is so happy they are back i miss them alot and i glad they are going to have adopted story. Hope they get good kid no underhand stuff please.

Yawn…..

I guess if it’s a necessary evil to get Lucas more airtime, it’s a good thing. Brad’s pretty much an asshole though.

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!

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.

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.
