New mother to baby boy, Emerson Truett Saucedo, Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber) returned this past week to the set of General Hospital, from her very short maternity!
Herbst started taping new scenes as Liz on September 16th, and according to Soap Opera Weekly, fans can expect her to appear on-air sometime in mid-October. New son Emerson was born in August, and he joins his siblings, Ethan and Ella, and their proud pop, Michael Saucedo (Ex-Juan, GH) to form one fantastic, busy and bustling family!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Walks Away From The Mob After 30 Years; Steve Burton and Maurice Benard Deliver Emotional Moments
Is this the end of an era? It certainly looks like it after Jason (Steve Burton) explained to Sonny (Maurice Benard), why he can no longer work for him, and be his right hand enforcer for his organization on the Monday, August 3 episode of General Hospital.
In story, Jason filled Sonny in on everything that went down before he was taken into custody by the WSB including: his opportunity to kill Cullum, Rocco shooting Cullum on the pier, being carted off to Jakarta, and watching his son, Danny, who now only has one parent (since his mother, Sam McCall died in 2024) suffer the consequences of his actions. Jason made clear to Sonny he must be there for his son now and needs to set a better example for him.
As emotional Jason is trying to get the words out and becomes overwhelmed with sadness, because he is truly caught between his son and the man that changed his life after Jason sustained longstanding brain damage from being injured in the car crash nearly 30 years ago in 1996.

Jason recounts to Sonny what led him to this decision, “The WSB’s taking me in. They throw me shackles and then they force me in the back of a transport. Danny was there. He’s pounding on the door. Tears in his eyes screaming that what they’re doing to me is wrong. They just can’t take me off. I’m sitting there wondering, ‘What the hell have I done to my kid?’ His mom’s dead. I’m going to prison if I’m lucky. Something just breaks inside of me.”
“So, I promised myself, I got to do better,” continued Jason. “I failed my son too many times and I can’t do it again. If I keep working for you, then I’m going to make sure that your security’s my priority and not Danny. It’s not fair to you to keep me on when I can’t do the things I used to. I can’t kill for you again. I got to stop doing what I’m doing so Danny doesn’t follow in my footsteps.”
Next, Sonny lets Jason know Danny had already tried to join the mob in his absence, and that he knew Jason wouldn’t want Danny in this life, just like he would not want his own children. Jason thanks Sonny for handling the situation. He adds, “I just have a few years before Danny’s going to be out on his own. This my last chance to be a true father to him before he doesn’t even need me anymore. I’m out.”

Sonny gives Jason his blessing with tears streaming down his face, and tells Jason they will always be brothers, and they share a hug, before Jason exits.
Applause to Steve Burton who played the scenes beautifully, and Maurice Benard, who reminded us why the longstanding relationship between Jason and Sonny has been one of the all-time best and one of the cornerstones of three decades of GH. Burton should remember these scenes for potential inclusion for his Emmy reel for 2027.
So, what did you think of the scenes where Jason tells Sonny why he is leaving the mob and can’t work for him anymore? Do you think it will stick? In the past, these two have found themselves, often having to face a common enemy back working together and Jason goes right as Sonny’s enforcer? Were you moved by Steve and Maurice’s performances in the scenes? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

I only watch for Liz. This stupid Ireland crap is laughable. Can’t wait for Becky!!
Really? I think this is the best story in months. What would you prefer? That he sit and wait around pining for Elizabeth? Hahahahaha
What do you care what I prefer?
You do you, and I’ll do me, sound good?
I think the accents are painful, and the dialogue is worse, don’t agree, oh well.
Actually, I don’t really care what you think. I was just expressing my shock over it. If you confused that with caring, I guess that’s your problem. Get it?
I’m excited that Becky is coming back. I wonder how she will play into this new story for Lucky. I really like it so far. GH has been pretty unbearable to watch, but Lucky’s story really has me glued. Hopefully Elizabeth comes back with her head on straight.
Finally. It feels like she’s been gone forever. I love the name Emerson! I want this paternity revealed already so hopefully she’ll come back refreshed and ready to fight for Lucky. It would be cool if she went to Ireland to check up on him! His Irish accent is so hot. Love Elizabeth, love the Irish story, and can’t wait to see JJ and BH on screen together again.
So glad that the beautiful and talented Rebecca Herbst will be gracing our screens soon. I hope TPTB will stop punishing the viewers and let Steve & Becky share some scenes together. They have an amazing connecting and the chemistry between the two of them is awesome. Jason & Elizabeth is what GH is missing.
Welcome Back Becky, we hope Mr. Guza has a good s/l waiting for you. One that shows your strengths as a good mother, a hardworker and one that can do without the brothers grimm.. We want a independent strong woman to emerge in Ms. Elizabeth Immogene Webber…
Word, LuvJas&Liz!!!! Jason and Elizabeth have a love for each other that no one else has. We want LIason love in the afternoon!!!!!
SO HAPPY THAT SHES BACK! HOPEFULLY ALL THE FANS OF ELIZABETH AND LUCKY WILL SEE WHAT WE WANT AND THAT IS REUNITING THEM TOGETHER AND FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN. TEAM ELIZABETH AND LUCKY FOREVER! LNL2
finally she will back. general hospital needs her back. can’t wait for her to show in the tv screen again. and yes i agree i want elizabeth and lucky back together. please gh! i hope that lucky and elizabeth will come back to each other’s arms!
ELIZABETH AND LUCKY FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO SEE MORE ELIZABETH AND LUCKY SCENES TOGETHER. I DO NOT LIKE LUCKY’S SCENES RIGHT NOW WITH THE IRISH GIRL. LUCKY IS FOR ELIZABETH!
WE WANT LUCKY AND ELIZABETH TOGETHTER AGAIN!!!!! LUCKY GO BACK TO ELIZABETH. SO GLAD THAT REBECCA IS BACK! MISS HER
i love rebecca!!!! I can’t wait to see elizabeth and lucky together again, I know it will be a while before it’s romantic, but I can hope and it’s worth the wait!
welcome back rebecca! i cant wait for her to do scenes with lucky. been a big fan of elizabeth and lucky. There relationship was so pure and genuine. The chemistry between these two was perfect, the storyline was beautiful, and you just wanted to see these two stay together forever. This was probably the “last” great couple on GH. keeping my hopes alive that they will fall in love again!!!!!
welcome back rebecca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
elizabeth and lucky They are so the BEST. Please reunite these two! They are magic, they are romance personified. I could watch this over and over. If they remarry, they have to mention the permanent lock!!! So swoon worthy!!!!
Can not wait to see rebecca back on tv. I wish and hope that she and jonathan will have many scenes together. I love elizabeth and lucky together!!!
I have never seen a relationship on GH that wrapped me up so much into the characters and the storyline than the ORIGINAL Lucky & Elizabeth. Rape, Tragedy, Beauty, Romance, and Love is what brought these two together.
I LOVE REBECCA HERBST A GREAT ACTRESS! GLAD SHE IS BACK!
“Lucky & Elizabeth” back in the late 90’s were the definition of TRUE LOVE!
They will always and forever be remembered at that time as the most genuine, passionate, and romantic couple on GH of the 20th century!
PLEASE GH BRING BACK LIZ AND LUCKY TOGETHER AGAIN! WE MISS THEM!
Elizabeth and Lucky!! Hopefully they’ll bring back those old feelings and emotions that made them one of the greatest couples in GH HIStory!!!
I want nothing more than do see JonoBecky do LL2, their chemistry is still amazing and so alluring. They exude romance with just the slighest expression, and their gazes….AMAZING. lol
Jonathan and Rebecca both had such great chemistry back in the day! They were definitely one of GH’s greatest teen couples during the ’90s! I want to see elizabeth anc lucky together again!
yes i cant believe she will be back again! my favorite actress in gh! i’m still hoping and praying that liz and lucky will be together again! keeping my hopes high! liz and lucky belong together!
I LOVE REBECCA HERBST THE BEST ACTRESS IN GENERAL HOSPITAL!
HOPE TO SEE JONATHAN JACKSON AND REBECCA HERBST WORK TOGETHER AGAIN! ELIZABETH AND LUCKY ARE DESTINY! THEY BELONG TOGETHER. NO ONE ELSE!
PLEASE GENERAL HOSPITAL BRING BACK ELIZABETH AND LUCKY TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes glad shes back working again! miss her not being on gh! i want to see liz and lucky together again! been a fan of liz and lucky forever. still rooting for them!
To me their relationship felt so real and pure in these scenes. They shared one of the most romantic love stories on GH at that time. You just wanted them to live happily ever after! and i hope they do.
elizabeth is my favorite on gh no matter what she does i love her bring on elizabeth’s next amazing storyline
LOVE Becky, she is my favorite on the show. I just wish we’d see Elizabeth more on the screen. She has so many amazing pairings, LL2 and Liason to name a few that are just off the charts. She has chemistry with everyone, and her character has so much history that the writers have failed to delve into. I’m hoping they finally give her something unique for her b/c Becky can rock anything. Can’t believe we are still sitting on another paternity reveal for her character. Having loved LL2 with Jon and Becky back in the day…I just can’t grasp this current storyline..its so sad they trashed so much history. Seeing Jason give up Jake was hard enough…why do they torture us! lol
I hope for a Liason reunion one day, but I loved LL2 first..they have SO MUCH HISTORY. With Jonathan back the original permanent lock is complete and its time for the next chapter in their lovestory. Laura needs to come back, as do stories for these families. Tom has never returned to PC, what an amazing story for Becky that would be! Helena has yet to reveal Aiden’s true paternity. She needs to start painting again, maybe go back to medical school and become a doctor…anything..she’s a HARDY/Webber for crying out loud!
