Last week on General Hospital, viewers said goodbye to Bobbie Spencer and honored the late Jackie Zeman in a two-part story arc that included the beloved GH nurse’s memorial service, and Bobbie’s family and friends sharing remembrances with “Angela” (Brighton Hertford), the AP reporter from Amsterdam (who turned out to be BJ Jones visiting from heaven0),

One of the more highly-anticipated returns for the farewell was Ryan Carnes, who played Bobbie’s adopted son Lucas Jones. Prior to these episodes, viewers last saw Carnes as Lucas back in early 2020.

On Monday, taking to his Instagram, Carnes shared his thoughts on his brief return. “Thank you to everyone who tuned into the General Hospital farewell episodes last week and celebrated Jackie’s life with us,” Carnes expressed.

Ryan added, “It was a true honor to pay homage and give proper tribute to such a kind, beautiful person and powerhouse actress. She is sorely missed, but I sure am grateful the world got her for as long as it did and that we got to send her off with so much love.”

Absolutely wish he’d come back full time! Seeing him and Samuel together as Lucas and Felix made me so sad for the days when they both had such moving stories. There was so much more to mine with Lucas and Ryan was the ultimate Lucas in my book. His grief during Bobbie’s memorial was on point, the heart-broken son who looks like he’s numb or going to break down any moment yet struggles to keep it together. Very moving even though they barely gave him any lines or had any of the regular characters address their sympathy to him.

That scene where Laura walked up to Carly and Lucas standing together, addressed all her remarks to Carly and then hugged her and walked away without so much as a pat on the shoulder to Lucas was just plain weird. Then they had Laura sitting right next to him for the service!

They should bring him back full-time. He’s Bobbie’s son. He is Luke’s namesake, and he is a doctor. The show needs him!

Would be great to have Lucas on regularly- as long as the writers give him story – not as a “talk to” character. Sadly, I don’t think that’s part of Chris & Dan’s plan.

Was good to have Lucus come back. Would be even better if the character was brought back. Brad was brought back but seems to be gone again.. as does his Aunt Selina. Would be great if all 3 were involved in a storyline again.

He was gracious. The entire thing was a slap in the face to Ryan and “Lucas.” The only grief that mattered was Carly’s, the only one of Bobbie’s children to give a eulogy was Carly, the only one who got to sit down & talk to BJ was Carly, the only one who found out that Bobbie had been involved in rescuing trafficked kids was Carly, the only one of Bobbie’s children who went to find the girl Bobbie was trying to save was Carly. Lucas got the “big reveal” moment at the end where he was allowed to stop in his tracks for a moment at the name, Champ. I’m surprised Carly wasn’t in the scene with him. Ugh.

Actually you are wrong Angela(bl ) did interview Lucas watch January 11th episode

I would absolutely love to see Lucas and Felix return fulltime to GH. But I still miss the old medical cast (Robin, Patrick, Steven Webber, Lainey, Kelly, and Matt) and medical storylines. There was a time GH had a great balance between the mob storylines and medical cases/storylines. I wish they could go back to that formula.

You’d think a gay EP would want at least one gay male couple…

GH could do itself some favors by evolving some. That includes developing families and story settings beyond the mob. Using peripheral characters from legacy families is a start.

You obviously don’t watch they do more then mob and use families

I’d love to have Lucas back full time. In my dream world, he’d reunite with Brad. I loved them.

I’d love for him to come back.

Yes, bring him back full-time! Where was Brad? He worked at the hospital with Bobbie and he was in a relationship with Lucas.

Probably one of the most wanted cast member returns, bring back Lucas at least recurring. Carnes would be great or recast with JP Lavosier

JP Labosier would also be great as Dillon Quartermaine

It would be great to see Ryan back full time. He is a terrific actor and we need to see a male gay storyline again on GH or at least representation acknowledging that we gay men make up a large portion of the GH audience!

He doesn’t want full time

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?

Published

By

Jason and Britt

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.

Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.

However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON

Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.

He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.

Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”

General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.

Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.

One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?

Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).

HEALING ANNA

On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital.  Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.

So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired

Published

Finola Hughes

The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.

Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.

Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET

Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.

Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT

At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.

Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.

The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.

So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
