These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!
In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?
Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

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.

Can you please put a link on your twitter tomorrow so people who do not have facebook can watch the show.Also, the first 20 minutes of the red carpet coverage on facebook last night was not scene.During this time I went to you tube and their was no sound but we saw the people walking around for 20 minutes.Did anyone tell you about these problems?
Eddie, you can see just about anything to do with the Emmys on UTube
Congratulations to all who were nominated and won. Shout out to Miss Beehive And RC Cates- didn’t win, but loved the song and music and Miss Beehive’s lovely voice on YR.
I can see how Bold won best costumes-despite most scenes taking place on a mattress.
I am pretty sure the costumers are behind all the great frocks and designs the Forresters-and Spectras are credited with.
The ceremony and red carpet lasted hours. Kudos to all press covering the event for their tenacity and hope cocktails were available.
Looking forward to tomorrow night’s results and good luck to all. Thanks for the coverage, Michael.
Proof once again these awards are a joke
Best casting parking lot Frank I just roll my eyes
I do believe that one garnered a collective rolling of eyes, K/kay! It was something that you simply couldn’t make up….
L-O-L
HAHAHAHA! No kidding! I can’t stand “Parking Lot Pete,” and won’t watch any episode that he is in-what a joke! His girlfriend continues to pimp him out-on the cooking channel, and at the Creative Art Emmy Awards. So ridiculous! Funny, I swear he wore the same blue suit at the Creative Art Emmy Awards that they always put him in on GH!
I agree the Bold and the Beautiful stinks it is so boring I tried to watch it and it does not peak my interest.What about Days ?Boy did they ever get robbed.How can they have ignored Days they have the best stories on now?
I can’t sit thru the Liam, Steffy, Hope-all 22 minutes of it, every single day. No thanks. Can’t stand either of them!
K/kay…where B&B is concerned, it’s getting BEYOND OLD AND STALE watching that Bill/Brooke/Ridge and that Hope/Liam/Steffy silliness!!!!! At this point, I don’t think that Bradley Bell has a CLUE as to how to run B&B…AT ALL!!!!! Moron.
Have a good one, K/kay.
CONGRATS to B&B winning for best Outstanding Music Composition which I totally agree with for Jack Allocco and David Kurtz compose the music and they use to be with Y&R which I so wish they were back at Y&R, to me they are the tops in their craft…
Casey Moss not winning proves these award shows are a joke as soon as rome flynn won i shut the computer down goodbye
Rome whined last year, about not being nominated or winning. Can’t believe he won this year! What a total joke!
There was problems with my online feed. Buffering and I have good internet speed. I missed best supporting actress. , and part of the GH 55th clips. Don’t know what happened. I wish it were on Tv. As far as the awards themselves, I was disappointed GH did so poorly. I thought the Joely Fischer sang beautifully, but the song should be a background to the In Memoriam. Not her fault the song should be quiet and be secondary to the video. I didn’t feel the song was the proper song for the mood, but she sang well. I felt the female co-host’s banter was improper in these days . Just my opinion. If she were a man and Mario was a woman, everyone would agree.
Not a Days fan but happy for their fans. Greg Vaughn’s win was awesome! I wish Marla would have won but Cam is so good, I am cool with her win. As far as GH’s big casting win, I agree, even though Frank screws over GH’s legendary characters, he and Mark do find good actors such as Greg Evigan and Max Gail and these two did and are making an an amazing impact as Jim and Mike.
