Finally, after weeks of stumbling around and trying to hide the secret that they slept together in Baltimore, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Mark Grossman) have two different conversations with their significant others; Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally (Courtney Hope) on the Friday, August 23rd episode of Y&R.

Chelsea comes clean to Billy that booze and vulnerability brought her and Adam together in a hotel room in Baltimore, so much so they hit the sheets after feeling so guilty about their son, Connor’s OCD and his latest plight.

In a gripping performance by Jason Thompson, where at first Billy is very contained about having his suspicions confirmed that Chelsea betrayed him with her ex-husband, eventually alone he lets out a primal scream.

Cut to – the fact that Adam is with Sally and lying to her face, when he had every opportunity to come clean and just tell her the truth that he slept with Chelsea. However, Adam chooses a different path and even goes so far is to deny it which Sally seemingly falls for.

However, Adam is far from being in the clear, when after he lies he receives a text from Chelsea admitting she just told Billy the truth and tis so sorry, but she felt she had to.

In the “Next on Y&R” preview below for the week of August 26th, it looks like Billy is drunk and confronts Adam with Sally looking on. Will Adam somehow keep Billy quiet, or will the truth come out?

Jason Thompson spoke to Soap Opera Digest on what will be the fallout for Billy, sharing, “There’s a lot of moving parts here. It’s an infidelity, and maybe it’s understandable because of the certain circumstances, but it’s Adam and he’s got this vision for (Abbott-Chancellor) and it needs attention, so there’s many things to take stock of and try and do the right thing. And what is Billy’s bandwidth to do all of that is a whole other question. I don’t know exactly how it’s going to all pan out in the coming months, but I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

No one buys Billy loves his rapist. Get that toxic mess out of my face.

What are you talking about, what rapist?

Chelsea. She first met Billy by date raping him in a foreign country. That’s why Johnny exists. The show thinks it’s okay to make it romantic. It’s not and never will be.

The storyline years ago was Chelsea was hired by Victor who beyond reasoning gets away with everything. That it has become a sick joke anyway she drugged him and raped him and had a child who Billy and Victoria adopted . Can’t remember the kids name anyway that did happen on screen when Billy Miller was playing Billy so yes it’s stupid for a romance hard to keep up when you have had four Billy’s and four Adam’s ! The show is very sad it’s very sad.

Jason Thompson is a wonderful actor and always gives his all but I don’t see any chemistry between Chelsea and Billy and I’ll never forget what happened in Myanmar either. Men can be raped too and that makes this relationship so inappropriate. Sally should run from Adam.

They ruined Adam and Sally for nothing. Do Billy and Chelsea even have fans besides the head writer and this actress?

Hardly

I agree with you Alix. I was always a Sally fan whether she was on B&B or Y&R. I was also a big Adam and Sally fan. Having Adam and Chelsea sleep together ruined it, like you said for nothing. I never cared for Billy and Chelsea together. They way Adam just sat there and lied to her face proves that he will never change and he will continue to always put his needs first. I just hope they don’t put Billy and Sally together as kind of a bonding rebound thing. She is way to good for him. I guess we just have to wait and see what happens.

Destroying the popular couple Ally to give angst to the rape pairing that basically nobody likes sure is a choice! Fire Josh Griffith.

Great performances from both but a terrible couple. I agree with everyone else that this rape pairing is not in love.

Another Griffith big story build up with no fall out. CBS and Sony are the absolute worst for keeping Y n R in such a embarrassing state. The fans are so desperate for change but keep watching out of loyalty

I expected a much better cheating story fall out. This wasn’t very soapy. But I’ve always thought Billy should spend more time with Victoria and their kids and was a little too obsessed with Chelsea and her son so I’m all for this break up. There was no chemistry between Jason and Melissa anyways, even though Jason is such a fine actor as Billy. I just don’t feel he would be this torn up about Chelsea because I don’t see a love story. I see an inappropriate trauma bond off a suicide attempt.

This is not Billy not the Billy I loved I think for me soaps are over politics back biting has stepped in I want no part of that I get enough of that crap I don’t need it coming from ignorant actors . JG is an ignorant writer and he is still there because Diva Bergman and diva Braeden are dictating ! SC ob one day a week what the hell has happened to the character Michael Baldwin and Lauren ! Jason Thompson has no chemistry with anyone and yet he is on five days !!! Wake up you are destroying a good soap

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Did the ABC Soap Opera Just Tee Up a Jason and Serena Pairing?

Published

By

Jason and Serena

The Tuesday, October 6 episode of General Hospital kicked-off with Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) literally turned upside down and stuck on the Quartermaine roof in front of Jason (Steve Burton), who came to her rescue.

This marked the first time that Kelly Kruger and Steve Burton shared any substantial screen time together since Kruger debuted on the ABC soap opera back in July.

In story, Serena was trying to save the peregrine falcons’ nest that Tracy (Jane Elliot) wanted exterminated. Jason agreed to help Serena relocate the nest to the nature preserve. Said relocation would be put in the preserve adjacent to the property, think where Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) buried Brennan (Chris McKenna)!

Later, when they returned to the Quartermaine mansion, the two have more banter where Serena told Jason they should both check themselves for ticks. Serena has done a full body check in the bathroom, but then asks Jason to go through her hair and look for any signs of ticks. Clearly, one or both may have ticks prompting suspicion if they wind up at GH with Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) as their doctor who previously treated Ava for the tick stuck in her hair!

ROMANCE SWITCH-UPS

While initially General Hospital fans suspected that the character of Serena was being brought back to the canvas in the form of Kruger as a love interest for Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), in recent weeks and in admission by Tanisha Harper, it appears that GH is teasing a Michael and Jordan romance. The two have been spending more time together at Aurora, and Michael helped her get accepted into the burn clinic in Germany to treat her facial scars from the car accident.

Meanwhile, after Steve Burton returned to GH after his extended hiatus this June, it was clear that the writers were heading in the direction of a Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and Jason break-up.

Eventually, a few weeks ago, the duo called it quits after Anna (Finola Hughes) tried to kill Britt, and Jason would not help Britt press charges against his friend, who was suffering from delusions after being mentally gaslighted by Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and company.

So, what did you think of the scenes between Jason and Serena on today’s GH? Do you think Kelly and Steve have on-screen chemistry that you would be open to be seeing how it plays out? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Tells Dante, “I Don’t Want a Son Like You,” While Michael Tells Brook Lynn to Bide Her Time Till Chase and Willow Have an Affair

Sonny, Dante, Michael, Brook Lynn General Hospital

On the Thursday, October 1 episode of General Hospital, both Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) had some things to say and what they had to say didn’t go over well with whom they were talking to!

Sonny had a confrontation with his son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), while Michael leveled with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) over Chase (Josh Swickard).

GH is setting up a scenario where everyone is going to make it look like Sonny was responsible for having Sidwell (Carlo Rota) beat up in Pentonville; while viewers already know Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) were behind it.

A VISIT WITH DAD

Now, Dante comes to Sonny’s house. He wants to know straight up from his dad if he ordered the attack at Pentonville. Sonny flatly denies any culpability or responsibility, but Dante refuses to believe him.

Dante informs Sonny he has video footage of Sully and Vito at the prison. Sonny explains to Dante he doesn’t know why Sully beat up both Curtis and Dante. Things escalated when Sonny was deeply hurt that Dante refused to believe him. Dante says he was disappointed that his father didn’t respect him enough to be truthful with him!

Sonny asks Dante to consider that he was being set up. He says all he did was to tell Vito to instruct Sully to keep a watchful eye on Sidwell, not to harm him. No matter what Sonny said, Dante continued hammering him with how he knew deep down, even though he said he left the mob, he had to finish off Sidwell for himself.

Next, Sonny explains everything he has ever done was to provide for and to protect his family. Dante fired back that he doesn’t want to deal anymore with Sonny’s half-baked truths. As the two men argue, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) shows up at Sonny’s front door and overhears Sonny losing his temper and shouting at Dante, “Get out of my house! I don’t want a son like you!”  The scenes featured an excellent performance by Maurice Benard.

MICHAEL THE MANIPULATOR

While this is going down, outside the Quartermaine boathouse, Brook Lynn opens up to Michael about living at the Q’s with Chase being there, since he only came back due to legal advice from his lawyer, Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard).

Brook Lynn questioned whether they should get legally separate. Michael insisted that would be a big mistake. When she asks why, Michael tells Brook Lynn to bide her time until Chase and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have an affair; then she’d have full custody of Phoebe.

An angered Brook Lynn pushed Michael into the water and accuses him of moving Willow back into the gatehouse with intent on putting Chase and Willow in closer proximity and sacrificing Brook Lynn’s family in the process.  As the two cousins bicker, Chase shows up asking Brook Lynn if she is OK. Michael punctuates their talk with “You know, I’m right.”

CURTIS FIGURES OUT A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SLAMMER

At GH, Willow visits Curtis (Donnell Turner) in his hospital room. Curtis wants Willow to get him pardoned and keep him out of jail, and in return, he will help her nail Sonny.

Next, Willow tells Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) she wants Curtis held for observation for three more days. He agrees to do so under one condition, that she understands that he may need to call in a favor from a congresswoman.

So, what did you think of how Dante accused his father and refused to believe Sonny’s answers? Is this the end of their father and son relationship for good? Is Michael the most manipulative person of all, except for Willow? Do the two deserve each other? Do you want Chase and Willow to have an affair? And what of Curtis? Does he have many redeeming qualities left? Share your thoughts via the comment section,  but first check out the talk Michael had with Brook Lynn.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ava and Drew Revealed to be Behind Framing Sonny for Sidwell’s Prison Beatdown

Published

By

Drew and Ava

If you thought that the person responsible for the Pentonville brawl that saw Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) taken to General Hospital was Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or even Sidwell himself, you were dead wrong! On the Wednesday, September 30 episode of GH, it turned out that the culprits were actually Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison).

In story, Drew apparently bankrolled the attack on Sidwell and framing Sonny. He told Ava their planned worked (she came up with it!) but was horrified when Drew informed her that Curtis got caught in the crosshairs. Ava is visibly upset because of her longtime friendship with Curtis’ daughter, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Drew tried to make Ava see the bright side. Curtis was witness to it and his presence will cast doubt on Sonny’s claims to that he had gotten out of the mob and gone legit.

Later, Vito shows up at Drew’s. They informed him that his guy on the inside of the slammer made a big mistake by hurting their friend and ordered him to leave town.

BOATHOUSE BRAWL

In other major developments, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr) have a blow out fight as Danny blames his “brother” for the reason Charlotte was sent off to boarding school.

Rocco told off Danny for Charlotte’s (Bluesy Burke) reckless behavior and he explains he had to protect his sister. He went in on Danny saying that his mother Lulu (Alexa Havins) has been right to send Charlotte to boarding school and far away from Danny.

However, Rocco went a bit too far when he shouted, “And if your mom was alive, she would send you away too!” Next, Danny punched out Rocco, leading to a terrible brawl. An angered Danny yells at Rocco to, “Stay away from me and everyone in my family. And don’t you ever mention my mom again!” Danny storms off.

Now alone outside the boathouse, Rocco flashes back to his first kiss with Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarksi), hoping that his fight with Danny will not escalate and ruin their budding romance. Meanwhile, a bloodied-mouth Danny heads over to Sonny’s and Jason (Steve Burton) is there at the same time. He then admits that he has a bad fight with Rocco and they are both beaten up.

WILL SCOUT WISE UP?

At the end of the episode, Scout, who had a fight with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) over Drew, and who keeps telling everyone how good a man her dad truly is, comes upon a suspicious scene.

Scout hides behind the wall outside Drew’s. She sees her dad, Ava and Vito talking. Next, Scout seems to overhear Vito assuring Drew and Ava that their business dealings are done, and he’ll be leaving Port Charles for good.

So, what did you think of the reveal that Ava and Drew were behind framing Sonny for the prison beatdown of Sidwell (and Curtis)? Do you think Danny and Rocco’s relationship can be repaired, or do you think the teenagers will continue to be at each other’s throats? Finally, do you hope Scout gets a clue and stops thinking her dad walks on air? Weigh-in via the comment section, but first check out how Ava and Drew conspired below.
