The Quartermaines are back! We mean, really coming back. Now that new GH head writer, Garin Wolf is putting his canvas together, it truly looks as if he is going to put some focus on the infamous and beloved Quartermaine family.
Just how much of Q’s will Wolf resurrect and how? Well, first we had the great news that Leslie Charleson (Monica) is back and then came word that Robin Christopher (Skye) is headed back and now the real kicker! According to ABC Soaps In Depth a GH spokesperson confirmed that Stuart Damon is returning to the series by late summer as the long-dead Alan Quartermaine! Damon begins taping next week.
I am so thrilled that Stuart is returning to GH ! First Leslie (Monica) and now Alan! I love them together, they are best couple on GH and deserve to be back.. They should have never been fired in the first place! They are legends! Bye Bye Guza, hello Alan and Monica.. They will continue on knocking our socks off!
I’ll accept any lame storyline, such as the news that Jerry Jacks kidnapped Alan from the hospital, faked his death, and has been hiding him in the basement of Mama Jacks’ Australian compound. The revival of the wonderful Quartermaine dynamic will more than make up for any idiotic storyline that gets us there.
Yes bring him back alive!
i’m hoping he comes back as alan not a ghost or conscience of anyone, i’m also hoping that someone on the show was having a bad dream an that not only alan comes back but also emily, claudia, georgie and little jake, that way the show can erase all the bad decisions bob guza made.
I want to see him alive and well. Not as a “ghost” or figment of someones imagination. It was absolutely senseless the damage done by former writers to the quartermaines in order to put focus on the Corinthos family. I’m tired of the canvas being filled with mobsters with little regard for human decency. The Q’s were dysfunctional and did illegal things but they had heart. I’ve been keepinghope alive for Alan to return (and AJ but I’m not holding my breathe on that one), and the Q’s to take back their rightful place on center stage again.
That’s wonderful news!! I don’t care what they have to do, or what kind of story they have to come up with, but I want Alan back alive and well. They should have never killed him off to begin with! It’s a soap opera, they can bring anyone back from the dead.
Maybe Helena has been keeping him in the basement of GH like Stavros Cassadine, lol. Whatever it takes. Welcome back, Stuart!!!
yes i want him back & undead!!! it was such an asinine move to kill him off anyway!
Do some crazy story and bring him back from the dead….. then get back to real storylines and I will start to watch again. I stopped watching about 10 years back when it became the daytime “Sopranos”
great news. I will tune in again. I haven’t watched since Jason’s mind was altered from a hit on the head and became a jr mobster.
Please tell me that Alan is alive and well! Too many Q’s were killed off for no real reason so I pray that he comes back alive.
I would love to see him back! Another told you so they did not have to kill him off this is an example of how you don’t paint yourself in a corner where you can’t bring vets back ! He will have to be ghost but I would take it over the Sonny hour!!!
Normally I hate when soaps bring people back from the dead but this one I could live with. Guza really screwed up by getting rid of Stuart Damon. If Wolf can get him back I’m all for it. I have missed Alan the last few years. Time for Wolf to fix Guza’s mistakes and pull GH out of the hole Guza shoved it in.
Let Alan be alive. I miss the Quartermain family. Tracy saw him because she was under a lot of stress. Bring him back.
As much as I love Alan Quartermaine… the whole family… I abhor incredulous reversals of history that even surpass soap suspension of belief. It seems so many of our dramas are relying on this plot device to the point of absurdity. If daytime is to remain vital, daytime needs to embrace the real world a bit and look forward with its plots and characters. If we only look back to the glory days, I worry we still may lose what little we have left!
Maybe Damon could be cast as a Quartermaine brother or cousin instead? I know, it may be equally as over-the-top and cliche to do look-alike but at least it is a new character that may allow for evolution along with the nostalgia for having Port Charles seem more like the hospital town it was rather than the unpleasant dark crime-ridden mob capital it has become.
the stories in question never deserved our respect to begin with. Look alike is not the same and worthless in my mind. No silly look alike, just bring him back as the Alan Quartermaine and destroy the story that should never have happened in the first place. Shoot I’d be ok with him just being there alive and noone even acknowledge his death.
i am so excited to hear that Stuart is coming back and that the story of the Quartermaines are coming back. Are you going to bring Jason into the Quartermaine fold.
YESSSSSSSSSSS 🙂 that is all i have to say
I am thrilled they are bringing Alan back….and at this point I will take anything I can get…although I would prefer for them to bring him back alive….killing him off was a huge mistake and I don’t care what silly storyline they come up with….I will accept it!
I think the Quartermaines while part of history….have been overly romanticized. I don’t mind them coming back just so log as Sonny isn’t sacrificed in the process. The show needs the magnetism that Maurice Benard brings. So hopefully the Q’s and Corinthos clan can find a way to co-exist.
Bring him back alive and well and do it before Christmas so they can do the TRADITIONAL GH Christmas for the kids the fools did away with for no good reason!!!! If they need to do it sooner, have him walk into the TRADITIONAL Aids Ball the fools also did away with for no good reason. Bring GH back to a diversified story that is centered around GENERAL HOSPITAL and NOT the mini-mobsters!!!
I couldn’t agree more. There hasn’t been a Christmas show that centered around family since Alan was killed off. I don’t much care how they explain his absence, I want him back alive. We’ve certainly put up with things that stretched credibility in the wrong direction, I would excuse almost any explanation they give if it means Stuart Damon is coming back to GH!
Bring him back alive, bring back Rick (erase that whole horrible storyline that had Laura kill him) bring back Leslie, get Lucy & Scott back – bring back Felicia – give Mac something to do !! I could go on and on – keep Jax & Nicholas etc……………
Alan, AJ, Justus, and EMily have been in the cryo chamber in the sub sub sub sub sub sub sub sub sub basements of GH that Helena had Stavros in.
QAny silly story will so to bring them back from their d3eaths whch never should have happened in the first place. Fans have no respect for these storylines that killed them because they deserve no respect. Just bring them back and back alive as the same character.
ALIVE! ALIVE! Let Alan LIVE! I don’t care how. I will accept any insane, supernatural, or bizarre storyline–ANYTHING to bring Alan back ALIVE. Great to know Monica and Skye are returning. Please bring back Emily, Nicholas, and Jax too. I love all of the actors. If only Lila and Anna Lee could be brought back too.
Will it matter what we say???Guza was insane to kill off a beloved Character that I left the show and never return..here comes the new regime and they appaer to not learn from the last writers about Stuart Damon and if the rumors are true he will come back as a ghost not alive as I wish it..Mr Damon should think this is a insult and refuse to return to the show..what a damn waste of talent don’t they see how many fans would return if they had brung Alan back to life????? on how many fans don’t care /they will turn the other way and except anyway they bring Alan back to life?????I left in 2007 because they killed the show ,they killed the family and they killed what made me look at it Alan and if he returns dead I will stay away..I will not stand by and watch such a watse of talent continue to be wasted
Yes. Bring back Alan alive. While they are at it, they could bring back the real A. J., Sean Kanan. Billy Warlock was nothing more than a punching bag for everyone. Kanan’s A. J. was flawed, but he could stand up to Jason.
I am so glad Guza is gone. His hatred for core characters and families was legendary. He only respected Sonny and Jason.
The Quartermaines were story gold. They need to bring as many of them back as possible, I don’t care how outlandish the storyline is.
Bring back Alan, Emily, A.J., and Justus. They can mirror what AMC has been doing with presumed-dead characters or what OLTL has just did with Original Todd. Have some bitter Quartermaine rival (there must be many) be responsible. Edward has done terrible things in the past; conjure up one more that pushed someone over the edge to fake his family members’ deaths. Edward can go through one more ultimate catharsis and then experience the joy of his loved ones’ return in his last years.
I want Alan to be ALIVE!!! That would be awesome, and then Jason returning lol
BRING BACK EMILY TOOOO
I don’t care if Alan strolls in with the morning mail one day…we want him back ALIVE and with a storyline! The Q’s need to have more presence and we need Alan/Monica/Tracy to drive each other nuts! Real fans miss Alan!
its about time, stop messing with the most famous family in daytime history. should’ve never messed with the q’s. Alan and Monica have chemistry like no other, whether they are fighting or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok summer has passed and no Alan Q on GH. Any updates?
It was great to see Alan and AJ back but it worries me because
the last time we saw Edward he looked horrible and 2 days later
he was dead. Stuart didn’t look so good today on screen. Lets
hope if they bring him back it won’t be to haunt his father’s grave.
And bring back Emily too – she as the best of the best when it came
To the Quertermaine’s.
Another person that needs to come back is Laura. Lulu could
Definitely use her mother’s support right now. And as always BRiNG
BACK ROBIN
Bring him Alan back to Life!!!!
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

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