The Summer Hotties Of General Hospital! Who Makes Your Temperature Rise?
Courtesy/ABC
It’s summer time, and for the men of General Hospital that means it’s time to go … shirtless!
And in this new promo from ABC, looks like things will heat up from the male GH cast line-up including: Ryan Paevey (Nathan), Ryan Carnes (Lucas), William deVry, (Julian), Dominic Zamprogna (Dante), Sean Blakemore (Shawn), Chad Duell (Michael), Bryan Craig (Morgan), Maurice Benard (Sonny), Michael Easton (Silas), Roger Howarth (Franco), Tyler Christopher (Nikolas), and Jason Thompson (Patrick)!
So we throw the question to the GH viewing audience, who makes your temperature rise of the guys and the characters in Port Charles? Watch the promo after the jump and then weigh-in!
Julian Jerome (William deVry)
Yes, yes, yes!!!
YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!
let them strip away, my fave is nathan and lucas, and michael too!
Silas. And he would have looked much better without Sam in that scene. Dante and Nathan also look great.
It’s hard to believe there are so many gorgeous people on GH. Nathan, Silas, Patrick are my favorites but I love them all. Always something to look forward to 5 days a week!!
Dante make my heat rise
and there’s a RISE in LEVI.
hate levi he is the one who called immigration on him self
How about hot storylines that sizzle instead of fizzle?
Agreed. I think this is the kind of promo you do when your advertising people look at the stories you’re telling and realize there’s nothing in them to promote. . . .
I think so too…
AGREED. So sad that is all they think GH has to offer but in fact, it’s true. The soap has become a cliche of itself.
GH has really turned into pure schlock. You can have attractive people and shirtless guys, but when that becomes your selling point it speaks volumes about the quality of your product and what you feel you have to do to get attention.
I continue to watch GH and find some entertaining moments but if i do miss an episode i dont bother to watch it later on demand like i used to…GH stagnates…it just repeats itself and hardly moves forward-Lucas, Brad and Felix switch beds every other week and Sonny and Julian make threats to each other and have mob wars every few months but nothing really happens except someone gets shot and their up and about by the following week, Scott, Lucy and Bobbi(the latter rarely shown with her family) are hardly ever shown enough for me to even care about them and their daytimes worse love triangle ever!…Rafe develops an edge and starts to become interesting but is killed off which i feel was a mistake…i could go on but im positive you know what i mean…ive gotten spoiled by Britians Coronation Street…it has a big cast and few story mistakes and disappointments but that is easily overlooked by its character driven stories that move…character who are poor to working middle class…who look like everyday people with real flaws dealing with realistic everyday problems we can all relate to and still be entertaining escapism!!!
I’ve only watched about three episodes in the last two weeks and just have no desire to catch up. Tuned in today and all the Nina stuff was just such a waste of time. MS just acting nutty in a way that is getting more and more difficult to watch and listening to her just recap everything to this point that had already been shown on screen in detail was also a waste. The dialogue was so forced and unnatural.
I just don’t know how GH gets better unless some new writers and producers are added to supervise, streamline and come up with some better ideas. We are far enough into this regime to see that they just can’t handle this size cast and are not able to integrate the stories and characters to give us the type of balance and continuity that other’s have and that we are used to.
If i read correctly the current cast has over 50 contract and recurring characters…far too many…some disapear for so long i forget they are still part of the show and no longer care about them…i say to balance the show and give it continuity they need to cut the cast by at least a dozen characters…also they need to bring the Qs more front and center…if Wally Kurth stays i say pair Ned with Olivia(im not a fan of hers but…) and make them the next Alan and Monica and make Tracy and Monica the next Edward and Lila…so far the ones id dump are Nina, Rosalee, Kiki, Levi, Brad, Felix, Sabrina, Franco, T.J.,…just to name a few and im still debating on others and if they should go or stay…Rafe shouldve stayed and paired with Molly…they shouldve went on a Luke and Laura type adventure as they try to learn who is responsible for bringing the heroin to PC…jmo!!!
I cannot really add to what Jim and GH50 say except Nina wasn’t at all what I expected. The day AJ died, we had to watch Silas cry and wax poetic about his sweet Nina. He’d tell tales of sweet and innocent Nina describing how angelic she looked in her private school uniform complete with knee socks and saddle shoes. I was picturing some sweet dimpled girl ( a Jenny Gardener prototype) and instead we get Endora, Samantha Stephens mother, siwrling around using her wheelchair like a broom. I fully expect to hear Nina call Silas “Derwood.”
Dr. Bombay, please come right away.
Amen, Harry….There truly was a huge disconnect between the preconceived notion of a kind, gentle and ethereal (Nina) creature that we were repeatedly given to expect and the actual mega whacked-out, witch-on-wheels wild woman version that burst onto the scene. That is one of the main problems with this bomb of a character….the other is that a Phyll-ina hybrid was not what most of us desired either. Overall, the verdict appears to be just another epic fail courtesy of Cartini…..their track record with newbies is atrocious!!!!
ohhh my!
GH is bursting with hunks..
ALL of them are awesome!!
No way to choose .. luv ’em all ..
Well, what a shocker!
lol…
LUCAS for me definitely!!! Love Ryan Carnes…
None of the others are too shabby either though…
Come on Frank cough up some more money for the wardrobe department– they can’t afford shirts for male cast members–those poor guys are going to catch a terrible cold if you don’t cover them up soon LOL.
Speak for yourself!
she did…lol…well, for me too…if the gals have to wear their tops so lets be fair and make the men too…lol
It always cracks me up when someone says,”Speak for yourself” when the person they are addressing never used words like we or us.
Ans Shay? I am also growing wearing of seeing the great abyss that is Alexis’s cleavage. I think they should put Geraldo Rivera on the case–maybe Al Capone is hiding in there.
And while they are at it, could someone please spring for a few modest tops for Alexis? I’m surprised she doesn’t catch a chest cold what with her constant cleavage flashing cries for attention.
@Harry….Thank you once again! And on that subject, it would be interesting to know exactly WHO does enjoy that pathetic non-stop peep show that Alexis feels compelled to offer up each time she “graces” our tv screens. Are there that many immature pre-teen boys or dirty old men that actually receive a thrill from her middle-aged flashes of immodesty? Anyone???? P.S. Al Capone could do so much better! Maybe Lord Lucan?
My temperature rises when Nathan come on screen. No, its not his near perfect body, its his acting skills he got from the Robot on “Lost in Space!”
That Bubble Headed Booby!
Julian, Nikolas, and Sonny. Love Alexis and Julian. I like Nik best with Britt. Sonny-has heat with most women! Please, not a Michael, Kiki, Morgan “love” triangle. Ugh. No chemistry. No heat. No spark. I fast forward during Kiki’s scenes.
Everyone on the list is fabulous, but my vote goes to Roger Howarth. Sexy and funny is a great combination.
Ryan Paevey is the stud of the show.
what a stupid question RYAN PAEVEY hands down
They overdo the shirtless. Too much of it ruins the appeal for me. Plus any guy that spends that much time in a gym to look they way they look is just a little too into himself for my tastes. I like guys who comes by abs more naturally…with a little mystery…who looks good in a tee shirt to an open collared jacket. Goodness, I can’t believe I just said all that.
I agree with you, Rose! The shirtless stuff is TOTALLY overdone. This girl goes crazy for a “sharp-dressed man!”
Me thinks Ron C. writes these shirtless scenes to fullfill his own fantasies…maybe if he had a dream about me shirtless that nightmare might just put an end to it…lol
@jimh…..The entire show now appears to be created for Ron C.’s wish fulfillment and amusement. That’s the problem….it would seem that the millions of viewers and their stated desires and interests are being totally left out of the equation.
You’re right Shay…Ron writes for himself and not the fans…i loved his outstanding work in his final year at OLTL…and i did like him at GH in the beginning but now my feelings are mixed…he has good ideas and the ratings are still up…that the good part but what ends up on screen looks like it was heavily edited…like some movies ive seen where they cut out too much that the movie doesnt make too much sense…you know what im saying…sorry my writing skills arent there…i used to write a lot better years ago but as i explained to some before continued medical problems intefer and i often do not get my thoughts written as well as i think them…its why i forget and add things later…but i still have a sense of humor…lol
@jimh…..I also enjoyed some of Ron’s outre’ touches at the beginning of his tenure at GH…there were some magnificently creative twists and flourishes that honored and respected the show’s rich history. But that was then, and this is now….it currently seems as if the Port Charles canvas has become nothing more than his personal chess board….it is no longer fun or logical, just one predictable move after another! There is no continuity, character development or gripping stories, just the same old, same old. I am holding out that the Cassadine/Jason/Robin arc may bring back the excitement, but I am not holding my breath. In the meantime, it is one mediocre moment after another with such subpar players as Nina, Gross-alie, Levi, Mickey D., Jordan, Felix, and the kiddie troupe. I’m completely bored! As for your contributions to this website, they are always lively and imaginative, and your memory seems just fine! You have made numerous references that have caused me to do a search, the latest being “Strange Paradise!” I had never heard of that show, so it was quite an education reading up on it. Just keep on doing your thing, jimh!!!!! P.S. I watched OLTL years ago, and as such viewed the final few ABC episodes that aired for nostalgia’s sake. Quite frankly, I was appalled at what I witnessed….the destruction of the venerable Buchanan clan was such a precipitous fall from when Asa was the JR of the North and his family ruled like royalty….in the end they were behaving like the most common of the common. Other than the Todd and Blair tryst, nothing even seemed very soapy to me….
Det. Sexypants of course!!
For me…MOST DEFINITELY William deVry (aka Julian)!!!!! That man is so RUGGEDLY F-I-N-E!!!!! And…the dude can act…which is EVEN BETTER!!!!!!
Until next time…deuces.
Julian Jerome hot hot man, William is one hot man, eye candy. LOL
Nathan Nikolas. Sonny of course is always HOT
Most of them are very hot…wouldn’t turn any away if we were just basing it on looks.
Using character’s names:
Nathan is stunning.
Silas (always John for me) is my type. He was looking way too skinny and drawn his first months on GH…he looks to me like he’s gained some weight back and I think he looks great. Like that lean, sinewy look.
Lucas, Dante, Patrick, Morgan…all great looking guys.
And then there’s Scott. LOL. I like him. Though he’s gained weight…I think he’s a nice-looking guy…
oh. and Nicolas…and Ned and Rick…Grrrrrrrr…let’s just say everyone and get it over with!
Nathan. All the way.
None of them…..seriously. Although I like Roger and Michael as actors just fine, I really don’t think that any of the men on GH’s current roster compare to the truly handsome devils that populated the soap operas of the ’80’s and ’90’s….it was just a bumper crop of immense male gorgeousness back then. Too many to mention, but Preacher Emerson (Charles Flohe/Grant) was a particular favorite!!!!! If anyone else agrees, let’s start naming names and comparing notes!!!!!
Preacher and Jody(Lori M.) were a favorite couple of mind on Edge Of Night…so were Logan and Winter(Lori C.), Mike and Nancy, Raven and Sky, Miles and Nicole, and Grand matriarch Geraldine with whoever she was paired with or by herself…loved Edge Of Night!!!
forgot April and Draper, Steve and Debra, loved them all!!!
Oh yes, jimh….I enjoyed the dashing Larkin Malloy as Sky Whitney, too, but Preacher was the one that really caught my fancy. I actually began watching “Edge” right before he arrived on the scene, and it was such a strange coincidence, because Mr. Emerson was a dead ringer—-not just physically, but right down to the expressions and mannerisms—-for a loved and lost beau who had recently moved away with his family, and it was all I could do to wait to race home after school each day to see CF on my tv screen…and weep! Oh well, there are worse ways to mend a heartbreak!!!! P.S. Also loved the late Elaine Stritch as the hilarious Mrs. DeGroot….she was a laugh riot.
And I wish the men would stop waxing their chests. Men are supposed to have a little hair on their chest.
I swear, Alexis has more hair on her chest than Julian does.
Harry, I loved your bewitched analogy about Nina that you put in an earlier post…it is hilariously accurate! LOL @ calling Dr. Bombay!
Harry, Harry, Harry…..When I saw this snappy little comment in my inbox, I just KNEW it had to be from YOU! Hah!
William devry is soooo sexy!!! He makes me want to be so bad!!!
William Devry is soooo sexy !!!! He boils my pool water!
The MAN is so BEAUTIFUL …
Kellie…Y-E-S!!!!! That William deVry fella is such a T-O-T-A-L H-U-N-K!!!!! As far as I’m concerned, his GH character (Julian Jerome) can kidnap me A-N-Y-T-I-M-E…Hee Hee Hee!!!!! Furthermore, Julian can FORCE ME to live with him FOREVER!!!!! Oh I am TRULY TERRIBLE…LOL!!!!! Oh, Well. And Kellie…your ‘pool water’ comment made me LMAO…GOOD ONE!!!!!
Take care, Kellie. XOXOXOXOXO
All of them, but especially TJ, Patrick, and Nikolas.
What about the “Dunglemeister” and “Diamond Dude?” Just kidding….
None of them except for: Lucas, Michael and Franco!
What about the ladies for guys like me…….
Alice. She is manly yes, but women like her too.
Michael!!! Wouldn’t turn any of them down though!
JULIAN, DET. SEXY PANTS, FRANCO, NED, MICHAEL, MORGAN, SILAS, AND SEAN ARE HOT!!!

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.
