General Hospital
Scarlett Fernandez To Make Her GH Debut As Claudette's Daughter, Charlotte!

Courtesy/IMDB
The little girl that all of a sudden General Hospital’s conniving Claudette (Bree Williamson) revealed she had to her former lovers, Nathan (Ryan Paevey) and Griffin (Matt Cohen), is about to debut on-screen this coming Thursday October 13th on the ABC soap opera. That’s when Scarlett Fernandez begins her run as Charlotte!
Although this is the 7-year-old’a first daytime role, she isn’t a show biz newbie! Fernandez recently shot a role in the ABC pilot Broken from executive producer and Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon. In addition, Fernandez can also currently be seen in national commercial spots for Ross Stores.
With Nathan looking forward to meeting his “daughter” and Griffin not sure about Claudette’s story, and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) supposedly jailed in Greece, and the man that Claudette is running from, just how will Charlotte’s arrival play into the entire story?
So, which man do you think will ultimately be the bady daddy to Charlotte?
Is it Nathan as the DNA test proves? Could Charlotte actually turn out to be Griffin’s or Valentin’s biological daughter? Share your theories in the comment section below!
heartbeat…. she needs to be Griffin’s
My dear, dear, Patrick,
You have a good heart, my friend. But, what is actually ailing Griffin!?!? He is torment by those proverbial demons, eating at his insides. It is angels whom should be chasing him, not demons. He is sooo celestial looking, afterall. LOL.
but, we see his turmoil–battling a war within himself. The Is he still in love with Claudette? Is she his demon or his angel who could abate those greedy demons, hungry for Griffin’s soul? Claudette is diluvial, in my opinion. In contrast, Griffin is the typical tortured, cliched hero looking for that mystical, non-existent, unattainable ‘thing’ we all want: PEACE.
Is she the demon?….as fickle as a warm day in winter, and as destructive as a typhoon?
I gotta say this;
I am sick and tired of the overuse of ”who is the daddy” stories..
enough is too much of who’s your daddy, sigh ..
writers– use what little imagination you possess and come up with something new.
I agree. And once we have the children on the canvass, soaps often do not know what to do with them! GH has overused the “who’s your daddy?” and baby-switching tropes. I would love something new (and I do not mean more characters that have little relevance).
Oh, I sooo agree with you, SuzieQ.
But, look at that little face?!?! She’s too beautifully sweet!! And, Scarlett/Charlotte has an uncanny resemblance to Bree.
Yes, baby-daddy ‘mystery’ is sooo old, used and abused that we sort of flick it off, and move on.
As jaybird loves to say, on these boards, “NEXT”. LOL.
would this ease Griffin transition’ing in Port Charles … ?
so he’s not … so conflicted… as a Priest / Dr. … ? that this will “help” him process “all the hurt” in his life … a beautiful daughter to move forward?
because YES… he’s sex’ual
time, right ?
I like the energy that Claudette and Griffin w/child could REEL
which… always has me… wondering… @GH production
why some couples can generate story
for me… I’ve said this before… I like knowing that some couples are happy ever after…
like.. Maxie / Nathan
like ..Lulu / Dante
NOT like… Felicia / Mac…. oy to the soap god ( s ) PLEASE… they’re the best thing about romance… on this show..
the upstanding guy…. bar owner / sometime police man… sexy
the magnificent delight when Felicia shows up onscreen… there’s a glow about this WOMAN
when they hug and kiss it out…
OK GH!
Mac and Felicia
Kevin and Laura
Tracy and ???? Finn ?
please beyond please… tell me that Dr. Joe… is still with
Lucas and Brad are where ?
standing ovation if we ever see Kristina and Parker
Aaron should mix and mingle with Lucas and Brad
I’m hope beyond hope that Maura West character Ava rises from and leads
Celia…thanks for the shout out (or whatever)…LOL!!!!! Much, much appreciated.
Have a good night, my friend.
I do like Griffin (so cute) and Claudette’s shenanigans.
Cute, Charday? Ahhh, my friend….he is BEAUTIFUL !!!!! LOL.
Yes, I agree, Bree plays the perfect ‘bad-girl’. We ‘gotta’ be amused by her transparent machinations, if nothing else. Love your comment.
She is adorable. Great casting!
Is there any point to trying to figure this out? After the writers admitted they didnt know who the GH hospital killer was going to be when the story began, there is no reason to bekieve her parents couldnt be absolutely anyone! She could be Lulu & Stavros daughhter, even though that makes no sense given her age! Who knows or cares…shes a plot point 🙁
Would be karma for Maxie, losing Charlotte to Lulu like the Connie/Georgie storyline lol
Charlotte is Valentin’s but Claudette convinces Nathan he is the poppa…only Maxi is suspicious of Charlotte who acts like a mini Helene Cassidine and performs strange experiments on her Barbies and Beanie Babies…Princess Diana beanie now has Ken’s torso and Sunshine Barbie’s tan..Nathan is too dumb to believe Maxis warnings about strange little Charlotte-lol….seriously, Valetin escapes prison…Claudette flees to Canada with Charlotte but their plane crashes in a river…Claudette is missing and presumed drowned but Charlotte survives and is returned to Nathan to raise…alone together, little Charlotte terrorizes Maxi who miscarries hers and Nathan’s child…arriving home, Nathan discovers a note that Maxi has run away but Claudette is there alive and in his bed…Nathan is unaware little Charlotte(who is really Helene reborn) performed cosmetic surgery on Maxi to look like Claudette and brain surgery to make her act and think like Claudette…feeling abandon by Maxi, Nathan decides to give Claudette a chance unware she is really Maxi…then one day the real Claudette shows up at his door…confused?…will Nathan realize something isnt right? Stay tuned because i have to write this as we go along…i havent figured out the ending in advanced because this wasnt a well thought out plotline…OMG!…im just like a GH writer!!!…lmao!!!
Oh, my gosh!!!! Oh, Jimmy. I can’t take it. I am having, real, honest-to-goodness belly laughs here. HaHaHaHaHa!!!!
I would like to be a fly living in your brain.
One thing, as I have already said when Claudette introduced Valentin’s name, Charlotte is his—-glad you agree. But, there’s always the chance we are wrong. ….never know which direction stories go. These writers never follow the standard. Themes are changed at the eleventh hour, where stories make no sense.
Example? Paul, as the hospital killer. That was a grasping-at-straws story, as I’ve ever seen.
A fly living in my brain…well, good luck finding it-lol…later!!!
@CeeCee….I’m still truly miffed that the sterling Richard Burgi was sacrificed upon the altar of GH’s ridiculous hospital killer storyline. It was a mess from start to finish….’twould have been far better to have had a loopy, med-induced Morgan go on a murder spree to get rid of all the annoying women in Port Charles…..Sabs, Nina, Alexis, Jordan, Val, Hayden, and yes, Claudette! Maybe even the evil Ava as his piece de resistance before offing himself!
Funny and sad but true.
Bravo, sir, bravo
Jimh…You have quite an imagination. But I really wouldn’t want to see another “bad seed” kinda child like Stitch’s boy on Y&R and the original actor who played Liz and Jake/Jason’s boy. On the other hand, never and not into Claudette storyline at all. And to think Burgi who could have been a GH flawed, leading man instead of a serial killer at the last minute, is gone to make room for newer cast like Claudette and Charlotte.
Hey, Jimmy,
Do you think there’s a possibility for an Anirbas showing up? I hope not……up to the rafters with twins—good twin, evil twin, dead twin etc.
Ironically enough, my own twin and I ( while in boarding school) would use pig-latin to communicate. We had our own little language going which only we two understood. Sometimes we still do it just to drive everyone in the family crazy. LOL.
Fabulous concepts there, jimh….but please NO Anirbas!!!!! I mean PLEEZE…it took four long, grueling years to get to the point of Sabs departure…can we just not enjoy it???? As for Charlotte, would she also not make a perfect “Lante” offspring ala that pesky travelling embryo???? I know her age is not exactly quite right to be so, but…hey, it wouldn’t be the first time GH has fudged a baby’s chronology for the purpose of a storyline.
Did you know there was a petition to bring back Sabs(NO WAY, would i sign)…well, it is Halloween so we are all entitled to a good scare..
Oh, no, jimh!!!! That is so NOT what GH needs! I’ve never been one for petition-backed campaigns….I’ve only ever “signed” one online, and that was for the return of Michael Easton to GH because I felt he was dealt with quite unfairly, and since I had been very vocal here about that, I felt it was only right to support him in that effort. However, I was quickly punished for my good deed….my inbox rapidly became laden with further “requests” from the crazy cat fan contingent imploring me to “save” their pet of choice. Despite directing their emails to my spam file, it took quite awhile to stop their messages reproducing like, well, stray cats!!!!!
Why have they cast a 7-year old to play ‘Charlotte?’ I thought the child was almost 10.
This girl is adorable, but certainly doesn’t look 9-10 years old.
Ten? Wow! I didn’t realize Charlotte was supposed to have been 10, SZima. You are so right!! At this age, children need to be exactly the age they represent. The idea does not present a problem when talking about teens 14 to 18 ( and, that’s even a stretch)—-or 20 to 30, due to make-up, per se.
But, Scarlett looks her age: 7.
i wonder when Anirbas(Sabrina backwards) and her flukealike) shows up!!!-lol
She will be 23 next year and dating Michael!
but Sabrina’s identical flukealike Anirbas(thats Sabrina backwards) arrives in town-lol
i don’t think its any coincidence that valentine is involve therefore theres more to this story then meets the eye, so if she’s got “nathan” dna and everyone still thinks he’s a cassadine, and valentine is involve, then she could be lulus and starvos embryo and charlotte was the sorrogate.
Who cares as long as it brings Valentin back. He was such a bastard the first time around that I can’t wait for more of his sinister doings. Loved the character the moment he was on screen.
Interesting enough I saw the actor in a light romantic TV movie…so funny to see him play a good guy, daddy, widowed fireman/restaurant owner/romantic interest. At first I couldn’t get past Valentin…and then…I saw all of the above. Acting…gotta love it. 🙂
Yeah James, Helena said he was the worst of the bunch BUT Sonny handled him like a sack of coffee! No problem.
Don’t care who she is, don’t care about this character or this story. Can’t tolerate Claudette and she can have Nathan as far as I’m concerned. He still looks at Spinelli like he wants to punch him again, same as he does with Griffin. Maxie should cut her losses and move on.
Soaphound…EXACTLY!!!!! I don’t see (or care about) the point where Claudette’s so-called daughter is concerned. And, besides, Claudette is ANNOYING ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!! As far as I’m concerned, bringing Claudette’s ‘daughter’ on to the show serves NO PURPOSE!!!!! AT ALL!!!!!
Have a good one, Soaphound.
Sing it, Soaphound.
The little girl is darling, however, I have no interest in Claudette, the paternity story line and another attempt at making a square peg character fit into the holes.
What if the hole is square, Harry? What then?
Too funny, Soaphound.
Thank you. Like they say “speak the truth and shame the devil”. Claudette is irrelevant to the GH storytelling canvas. They could get rid of her character tomorrow and no one would miss her so why do they think we care about her child? This is the kind of nonsense that is destroying the soap industry, focusing on characters that no one cares about. I applaud CBS for listening to their viewers and getting rid of characters that viewers don’t like ( Sage, Dylan, etc). No wonder CBS daytime is number one. GH will never be number if they continue this foolishness.
I agree with you LL2. But, some fans feel that Burton is leaving because Phelps left? I don’t know how much credence can be given to that, albeit I loved Sage.
I think that she and Nick could have become super couple. But, in my heart of hearts, I always hoped, believe even, that Nick and Sharon always end up together. Much like Victor and Nikki.
You are right, though……GH needs to start steering away from too many storylines and this influx of new characters.
If said characters lasted, I would have a different point of view….but, this revolving door business is as disturbing as open borders.
I guess even on a soap, the guys is too hot to leave so you deal with the bullshit! Sad.
Okay isn’t Nathan supposed to be Valentin’s son with Dr. O? I know the father was supposed to be someone worse than who he thinks is his father. If that is true then the DNA test saying the little girl is Nathan’s could still be wrong since Nathan would have his father’s DNA– this little girl could still be his sister.
If Ron C was writing this I would say the little girl was Lulu’s and they gave her some weird growth drug and that “little” Jake was somehow related to this little girl too- through some genetic tampering–but atlas no more off the wall stories like that– can’t actually believe I am missing the vampires and mad scientists — I like character based stories, but Jelly are not doing those kind of stories, so if I had choose between badly written plot driven stories and clever way out there stories– then I rather have Ron back– did hell just freeze over because I think I am agreeing with SUOOO? LOL
Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians reading this Oct 10th—
We do not know if Nathan is Valentin’s son, Mary. This idea was thrown in there by Shay and me when Dr. O expressed the fact that Nathan was her son and not MadMaddie’s. I did not know the history, so I wondered who fould posdibly be more evil than Victor?
Everyone was under the impression that Victor was the father…..
But, Dr. O said that Nathan’s father was worse than all Cassadines combined ( I am paraphrasing) and had , thus, ‘given’ James (Nathan) to her sister to rear for his protection.
I remember Shay having said that it could not be Mikkos?, so the only one she could think of was Valentin. Ergo, the concept was born.
It is all speculation.
I remember that, CeeCee, and I’m still sticking by that assertion. However, given GH’s propensity for producing storylines that come out of nowhere and often have no sense of historical proportion, another explanation as to Nathan’s paternity could be forthcoming…I must say that the actual character of Valentin has been a huge letdown for me…I truly expected an epic European supercriminal in the mold of a Bond-esque villain with a suave and charming exterior, yet an evil incarnate soul lurking beneath the polished facade. The fact that the Valentin we have thus far gotten “in the flesh” is such an ordinary, garden-variety baddie has been most disappointing, to say the least!
@Shay.
I know, right, Shay?
James Stuart is so good-looking, but, not with a menacing face. He looks angelic to me. LOL.
as yourself, I was expecting to see a Christopher Lee type. A’ la Dracula.
But, on the other hand, perhaps Stuart’s ‘soft’ looks is what TPTB wanted ……”catch more flies with honey’? LOL.
PS.
I love the mad scientists myself, Mary. I would gladly trade Faison’s bantering with Liesl, any day.
And, yes, Aria’s idea that Claudette was the surrogate is brilliant, in my opinion. So, it would not be so far-fetched for Jakey to be enmeshed in this entire travesty. Great post, Mary.
As I said on the Y&R site ( Steve Burton), there will be another Morgan emerging from the car explosion, after spending months in hospital. This new Morgan will miraculously be free of his bipolar disorder …….another distorted storyline on the horizon, where a Cassadine has a ‘hand’ stuck in the plot.
Paging Maury Povich…LOL!!!!!
Lol!
LOL, Jay.
She is a little button! I hope she can act. She really looks like she could be Michelle Stafford’s mini double!
She’s adorable. Hope it’s a worthwhile story.
Wow! Whether it’s 7 or 10 years since this little girl was born, that is a long time that Nathan has been out of the mother’s life! That is a super long time to be pining for someone (even for me, LOL!). I assumed it was a couple of years at most. This whole storyline is FF to me until that Valentin actor comes back on the screen. He just lit up the screen even if his character is a baddie. I feel bad for the Maxie character and the actress who plays her to be stuck with such dead weight. (not the little girl, just the other 3 adults in this orbit).
She’s adorable. I hope the horrible writing on this show doesn’t scar her for life!
Nathan and Claudette should leave town together with their daughter, Maxie and Griffin should become a couple, Maxie should get her cheeks back and — bamm — end of story. Move onto better things.
I must say this while I have time and the topic is fresh on my mind.
So, forgive me …
I found Maurice’s delivery today as stellar. He was soooo good, I got goose-bumps.
Perhaps, it is the fact that I know the pain of losing a child. But, Sonny’s shock was tangible…I could taste his devastation. He lost look of desperation touched my every nerve ending…..kudos, Maurice.
For the first time in two and one half years, I see the allure and star that is, Maurice Benard.
Sonny will ‘die’ from his guilt-ridden feelings.
Will this be the end of Carly and Sonny? Again? Carly will blame Sonny for Morgan’s presumed death. Justifiably so!!
Carly and Sonny are the Nikki and Victor Newman of GH…of course they will divorce and get married for the 1000th time-lol
it took Bryan Craig… leaving the show… to shake this “whole” show up
this could be a very easy let… for Laura Wright and Maurice Benard
because you can’t unspin the truth…. GH sole focus of the Corinthos’ FAILED
epically so
when Sonny and Carly found out Morgan was expelled… and he stormed out… after the billionth time telling his parents he’s the way he is… and it’s never going to change
Carly is telling Sonny… ” I thought we were past this ” “he’s my baby”
I actually teared up… ME
over a Laura Wright performance
angst at how this could or should end…. ie: Ava tampering with his meds
IT’s time folks… GH to end the sole focus on the Corinthos’
all posts lament on the enormity of this invaluable cast… so many qualified performers to cull…. reach… REEL
it’s this easy to tell GH / ABC / Disney :
Sonny / Carly ; Jason / Sam ; Julian / Alexis
give these three couples a break… AND back to supporting
it’s at the breaking point especially for Billy Miller.. Jason… what’s the point ?
the mob back… is not polished refined with no mystique….
Ric Lansing… for Carly
Claire Walsh.. for Sonny
Jason back to the Q’s
Sam ??? i’m just not interested to vest any thing
Julian… Nina ? Olivia ? the WRITERS ruined his character… assassination ?
like Paul / Nicholas / Dr. Joe / Morgan… magnetic person with so much presence
Alexis : god her high morals standards virtue… still questioned… she’s primed for spinster … UNWIND …. FUN ? Alexis … seriously… uptight too long … gone
Valentin simply has to return… to add LIFE…. Nina / Ava / Claudette… stirring
ready
I like your thoughts…
“…For the first time in two and one half years, I see the allure and star that is, Maurice Benard.
Sonny will ‘die’ from his guilt-ridden feelings.
Will this be the end of Carly and Sonny? ”
I read some of the ABC soap digest today.. and it pretty much seemed to sum up “our” thoughts … frustrations… provocations… LOL…. dire needs
I especially was keyed in to… will they or won’t they…. ( carly and sonny ) survive this
earnestly… I think all this is just too much for Maurice Benard… with all due respect
share the wealth of talent
I mean really ? Maurice Benard really took the ball and ran with it….and; THERES NO TURNING BACK….
it’s like Eric Breadon… all over again… and he’s lost
two star studded performances with zeal ego and panache ride
i’m waiting this out
yike
GH production… salvage… like Luke… Sonny lives on… just less REEL
I still miss Sabrina
all aired out
Celia, YES! Maurice was indeed amazing and reminded some of us why we thought he was a brilliant kind of method actor in the first place. But you know who else was brilliant?
Maura West. You know I have been critical of her over-the-top campy approach to acting, but today she brought it on. In fact, she out played Laura Wright’s Carly.
Another actor who really pulled out all the stops? The actor who plays Dante–Dominique?-he was so damned guttural and emotionally wrenching with his performance that he brought me to tears despite my not really caring about Morgan. In fact, he was so good that Billy Miller’s lackadaisical performance paled even more by comparison. I know Miller is a capable actor. He had viewers in tears over his reaction to his daughter’s death while playing Billy Abbott on Y&R. Why is Miller seemingly phoning it in on GH? I know he is capable of doing better.
In any case, today’s GH was really very good and reminded us all of why we watch.
That said, I do not think Sonny had the bomb put on Julian’s car. However, everyone will think he did it and so karma’s hand will be biting him on the butt either way.
By the end of today’s episode, Harry, I, too, doubt that Sonny is the culprit. It would be sooo cruel, if he did.
The explosion is too obvious. This is an enemy of both Sonny and Julian…..killing two birds with one stone, as it were.
That is, kill Julian and the blame would naturally fall on Sonny. Great post, Harry.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who is Hudson in Cahoots With After Revealing Phone Call?

The mysterious Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) is clearly in collusion with someone as witnessed on the Tuesday, August 24 episode of General Hospital.
Since Troy Lennon Appel made his debut on the soap on July 30, we already know he “appears” to be the true biological father of baby Phoebe, and is quite the bad dude after roughing up Ethan in Norway.
Now in Port Charles, claiming he is there for JJE (Jasper Jacks Enterprises) business, and with the edict to contact Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and let her know her father named her the CEO of his company while he is “sailing” abroad, he was initially met with resistance when Josslyn refused to accept the job.

Courtesy/ABC
I’VE CHANGED MY MIND
However, after a recent turn of events, where Brennan (Chris McKenna) told Josslyn, the WSB has her next assignment, and it is to find out what’s going on with her father’s company, they demanded her to accept the CEO position. Now Josslyn is caught and has to back-petal after initially telling Hudson to bring her qualified candidates and she would pick one as her replacement.
In all-new episodes, while at the Quartermaine boathouse, Josslyn informed Hudson that she was now taking the CEO position. Josslyn cited that she realized she wanted to honor her father’s wishes and uphold his legacy.
Hudson is stunned and tries to dissuade her, and is quite suspicious over her sudden change of heart. Realizing no matter what he said Josslyn was not backing down, Hudson says he hadn’t been on board with Jax’s decision to give the company to Josslyn, but now he could see that maybe he’d been wrong about her.
HUDSON HAS A PROBLEM
Josslyn says failing herself, or her father, isn’t an option and when she commits to something she goes all in. She tells Hudson that she would appreciate his support. Hudson says she has it, as she turns to walk away after dropping her bombshell decision on him.
Next, a very pissed off Hudson, picks up his phone and makes a call to someone and tells them that Josslyn took the job. He intimates that this is bad news and will screw up their plans. He tells the person on the other end that he is going to make her change her mind!
So, where is this leading? Who could Hudson be working with on the inside and who did he call? How do you see General Hospital weaving in Josslyn taking over JJE as their new WSB mystery story? Put your creative hats on and let us know your thoughts via the comment section.
But first, check out the GH teaser below for today’s Wednesday, August 26 episode below, where Josslyn tells her mother, Carly to accept her decision of either taking the job at JJE or staying with the WSB!

‘General Hospital’s’ Josh Swickard Recalls Emotional Moment After His Final Scenes with Michael Easton, and Favorite ‘Chase’ Storyline

Josh Swickard (Harrison Chase, General Hospital) is the special guest on this week’s all-new episode of Soapy Hosted by Rebecca Budig and Greg Rikaart. The GH fan favorite and leading men opened up about his life pre and post GH, his marriage to actress and producer, Lauren Swickard, and some of his toughest and most memorable moments during his eight-plus years as officer Chase of the PCPD.
One of the most heartbreaking moments came when Josh had to say farewell to his on-screen brother Finn played by soap veteran, Michael Easton. It was back on the Thursday, June 27, 2024 episode of General Hospital.
In it, Chase drives Finn to a rehab facility and the two brothers share a heartfelt talk in the car. Finn thanks Chase for allowing him to say goodbye to his daughter, Violet (Jophielle Love). Chase promises to take good care of her. However, Chase warns Finn to not to take any shortcuts on his way to sobriety and to always think of Violet’s wellbeing. It is apparent, the brothers don’t want to say goodbye, but on the count of three, Finn leaves Chase’s car and walks through the door of the rehab facility, while Chase in tears beats the steering wheel before drives away.

MISSING HIS TV BROTHER
Josh spoke to the “Soapy” podcast hosts about it and recalled, “In our last scenes together, and it was like his last day. Michael was like, ‘It’s okay.’ And I was like, ‘No, it’s not.’ I was supposed to be crying in the scene, I think. I was like a little glassy-eyed, a little glazed over. And then they were like, “And cut.” I was like, “Great.” I just like went behind the car and wept.”
Speaking of his professional and personal relationship with Easton, Josh expressed, “Michael is an awesome guy. He’s such a sweetheart. We’ve done fan events together in New York and he would show me things, like, ‘This where I used to live …’ He’s like an older brother to me.”
Not only did Josh lose his on-screen brother, but he also lost his on-screen father, Gregory, played by Gregory Harrison, when he was killed-off the show after the character battled ALS. “I think I was more just mourning friends that play family on a show, but a show that goes year after year, year round, and so they become family,” explained Swickard. “So, that part’s been hard for me of just losing friends that while, yes, you get to see each other, you get to call each other, it’s different (when they leave).”

CHASE IN A COMA IS FAVORITE OF JOSH’S
When asked, what has been his favorite storyline during his run on GH thus far, Josh took it back to when Chase became became critically ill after being poisoned by a toxic from Peter August (Wes Ramsey) meant for Finn. Eventually, Finn had to rescue his brother with the antidote for the toxin. That story played out from April to June 2021.
Josh explained, “Where I was in a coma and I was seizing and coughing and I had no blocking for like four months! It was great! It was a storyline where I was about to die and I had to say goodbye to a lot of lovely people and it was so exhausting. You get in the car and you feel like you got hit by a train every day because your body doesn’t fully know what acting is, apparently. I remember multiple days being like, ‘Oh, this is why I signed up for this.'”
Swickard also answered if there were moments in the storyline if he felt Chase was not going to survive. The GH star answered, “There were moments that I wondered. However, I think they were pretty upfront with me. They were like, ‘This isn’t what’s going to happen.'”
Check out the full conversation with Josh on the ‘Soapy’ podcast via the comment section below.
Now let us know, what has been your favorite scenes of Josh as Chase on General Hospital during his run? Do you miss the relationship between Chase and his brother, Finn? Let us know via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Is This the End for Brennan?

This week, all-new episodes of General Hospital tease a long-held secret revealed, a surprise cellmate and a life on the line. On Monday August 24, ABC released their weekly promo entitled “Keep Brennan Busy,” raising eyebrows that this could the beginning of the exit of the character, after it was reported that Chris McKenna (Brennan) is leaving the soap come this fall.
In the spoilers video: First, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is telling Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) that she has known the truth all along that she shot Drew (Cameron Mathison), even though she was her legal counsel and defender her during Willow’s trial of shooting the former congressman.
Willow is shocked, and her face shrinks up. What will she say in return? Will she just say, “yes” I did it and then blackmail Alexis to also keep her quiet, like she has been able to do to so many others?

DREW’S BACK TO HIS OLD SELF WITH A VENGEANCE
Next, Drew is suddenly on this renewed warpath to take down Sonny (Maurice Benard), but before he deals with that, he want to get the WSB Port Charles Bureau Chief out of the way.

While Drew tells Ava his agenda, we cut to: a woman’s hands pouring a packet full of powder into a drink at the Metro Court pool area.
Drew gives Ava her assignment, “I need you to keep Brennan busy while I search his hotel room.” The question becomes, who is the woman who is drugging Brennan? Is this the first attempt at taking out the guy foreshadowing the future, or could this be the demise of Brennan?
YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU MIGHT SEE IN THE SLAMMER
At the end of the video, Curtis (Donnell Turner) is seen in his cell at Pentonville. He gets what appears to be his new cellmate, and utters, “You?” Is this when Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) has manipulated someone from the inside to visit Curtis and begin a plan to get what he wants from Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and use her lover to do his dirty work? Stay tuned.
