Ryan Carnes On His General Hospital Return For Bobbie’s Memorial Episodes: “It Was a True Honor to Pay Homage and Give Proper Tribute”
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.”

So, do you wish Ryan Carnes would come back to GH more often? What did you think of the sentiments he shared on his former on-screen mom, Jackie Zeman? Comment below.

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

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

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.
