General Hospital
THIS WEEK on General Hospital: Kiki Not a Q! Connie Choked Out By AJ? Michael to the Rescue?
Courtesy/ABC
In this week’s newly released promo for General Hospital from ABC/SOAPnet, it looks like Michael (Chad Duell) may have made it in time to break up Kiki (Kristen Alderson) and Morgan’s (Bryan Craig) “I do’s”, or did he?
Connie’s story and revelation that Kiki is not really a Quartermaine rocks Port Charles and turns it on its ears, and sest up what looks like people being pretty angry with Ms. Falconeri!
Now, since Kelly Sullivan is departing the show as Connie in the coming weeks, will the character meet her maker at the hands of someone in Port Charles? Well, in this new clip, AJ (Sean Kanan) seems not to happy and chokes out Connie, and Sonny (Maurice Benard) happens upon the scene with a gun!
Do you think someone will be responsible for Connie’s final exit in Port Charles? Do you want Michael to get his Kiki? Share your thoughts after you watch this week’s General Hospital promo!
I hope this isnt going to be a ‘Who killed Connie?’ unless Morgan does it and is sent to prison…i really want Connie to leave alive in case KS can return in the future. However, i dont feel she will be unemployed for long. Maybe she could play Kristen on Days?
I can not stand Morgan, but don’t want him to be a killer, it would be too much. But he needs to get treatment for his gam ling addiction at a live in facility and come back with a more appealing personality and different actor
But if Morgan does go to prison…some inmate could attempt to beat him, and its Johnny(if Brandon B. comes back for brief story arc) who comes to Morgans rescue and protects him, winning Sonnys approval but can Sonny trust him…maybe, maybe not.
People said similar things about Chad Duell when he took over the role of Michael.
But, the difference was that people liked the character of Michael, and I can’t stand the current character of morgan. there are no positive attributes that I can see. There i s nothing to engratiate him to viewers.
Morgan really has become a whiny little puke….about the only positive thing he has on the show is his relationship with Alice……they have displayed such a cute rapport, especially during yesterday’s show. Love how she championed “Mr. Morgan,” plus “AJ,” too. Who needs a guardian angel when you have “The Dominator” on your side???? One scene I am soooo looking forward to is when Monica/Tracy finally bounce Ava’s sorry butt to the curb and Alice is the one doing the deed….hope that happens VERY soon!!!! She needs to leave the Quartermaine mansion NOW! It ain’t some cheap hotel that befits her kind…..
Alice is fun to watch…Tracy fired her but Monica will keep her around.
Connie is a great actress . It is a shame they didn’t just let her move to europe where she could of came back. I’m sure AJ is going to get blamed it will probably go on forever. Please bring Robin and Jason back. Recast Jason if u need to.
But who would be a good recast for Jason??? Especially given that he and SeanK always had such a great resemblance as half-bros? Would have been cool if SK had initially returned to PC as “Jason,” although I really like him as “AJ,” too. Plus, I am loving Sam with Silas…..just cannot see a place for Jason right now. Maybe a year or so down the road….after Sam (and Liz!) are firmly ensconced in committed relationships. By then, “Stone Cold’s” reappearance could seriously compromise both ladies’ new loves, and SB will most certainly have worn out his welcome in Genoa City….he doesn’t seem to be that big a hit there from what I have read.
I agree I really still miss Robin and Jason- their presence on GH was special. It is definitely different without them. I DO NOT like Patrick with Sabrina – they lack chemistry!
Totally agree with you on that last part…..simply cannot understand how the ptb’s ever thought that someone as lame, immature and irritating as Sabrina would be a character that viewers would take to….particularly with Patrick! It’s not as if there weren’t enough other more eligible and appropriate ladies with whom he could commiserate. This is one HUGE mistake that I truly wish they would just admit to and correct asap….I still think Dr. O. should eliminate her!
I think Dr. O is Sabrina’ mother…. ? yeah? No? the way she looked at Sabrina and perused her…. what was it… she said…. simple pretty.
too bad to see Britt being slapped by her own mother…
but… you can see the angst in Britt… and that she’ll be reformed… and could pave the way for Britt and Nicholas.
it’s sad to watch Patrick and Sabrina… he’s no longer the reason I watch GH.
as britt said to Dr. O…. it’s clearly not Patrick’ child… so… must be Dante and Lulu’.
anyway… back to Patrick…. he looks like he’s in pain… and or phoning in his scripts… there’s no excitement. Mother Theresa Sabrina… doesnt have all the answers.
Re: “Patrick”-I think Dr. O was just perusing Sabrina to see what on earth could be attractive about her to Drake Jr….the “simple” “pretty” comment was almost a putdown…obviously Britt is much more beautiful in the conventional, model-like sense…her eyes are very intriguing!!! And I also think it was a backhanded slap to her daughter that such a lesser creature was able to wrest Patrick’s affections from her…”Mutter” is always sizing up the situation and plotting her next move: God in heaven, I hope it is to remove Sabrina from the equation…by whatever means necessary!!!! Been praying for her removal since Day One……
I totally agree about Kelly Sullivan bei g great and much as I’m not a AJ. Fan I hate. Trials and the wrong person being blamed. They should not kill Connie . She should just leave town because so many are mad at her. So she can come back
Hope AJ doesn’t kill Connie. We know Sonny would kill AJ then. So happy Kiki is outted as not a Q and hope Michael stops the wedding. Then gets to talk to Kiki about the truth. But Michael doesn’t know that his bro knows that already. So I’m guessing Kiki will still marry Morgan (the disaster). Loving Alexis and Julian together.
I had a strange vibe that Connie was a goner the minute it was revealed that Derek was Julian Jerome. She has to be murdered—- there are too many suspects for her not to be. AJ, Morgan, Ava, Julian to hurt Sonny– even Sonny, I mean she betrayed him right? I guess even poor old Olivia could be suspected– jealousy over Sonny. I would even say Franco if he wasn’t so laid up. So yeah I think poor Connie’s goose is cooked.
I’m sooooo loving GH!!!! I THINK A WHO KILLED CONNIE WOULD B GREAT!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE
SOAP!!!!!
this show is just to good 4 words,,,the people at young and restless should sign up for classes,,,,,how to keep a soap opera interesting..
jmh, well its rumored that connie gets murdered dies in sonny’s arms. of course sonny going blame aj for her death. i bet julian murders connie. cant wait for showdown between julian and sonny. that will be emmy worthy. love connie and derek scenes. go elizabeth slapped tracy 4 betraying your man.
Only Sonny has the right to be upset with Connie. I believe she did the right thing. Carly and Sonny are wrong to stay quiet so Baby Boy Morgan feel better. They have no passion or concern over the fact that Kiki is marry to the man she doesn’t love. What a loveless marriage that will be. I will be missing Connie. I hope they don’t killed her off. But I do want Sonny with her cousin Olivia.
GH IS ON FIRE THIS WEEK!!:) CANT WAIT TIL TOMORROW
I think it is a shame that Connie is being written off the show, she is a fantastic actress and I would have liked to see her and Sonny actually have a real relationship. I hope they do not “kill her off!” So she can come back in the future.
This is soap land and if and when her character is needed again in the future they will find some way to bring her back to the land of the living, if they do kill her off– I mean how many supposedly dead people are wandering around PC right now? Franco, Julian–for example. I never believe anyone is actually dead on a soap anymore. LOL.
although gh has been rocking lately, this is not a storyline i’m looking foward to, i’m so upset gh chose to get rid of Kelly sullivan, its a big mistake!
I hope they don’t kill her so Connie can come back some day. She is a great actress and has great chemistry with many of the actors. She would make a great Phyliss on Y&R!
I am afraid you may be disappointed.( Possible Spoiler alert!!!!!!) there are several websites that are claiming Connie will be killed and it will be a who done it storyline.
They can “kill” Connie off, just as they killed off AJ, and how many other characters on how many other soaps? The ultimate shot at Sonny by the Jerome’s would be to make him think Connie is dead only to hold her captive. They can bring her back anytime!!!!!
C’mon Liz, give it to Tracy, that bitch needs a beating!!!! I miss the real hell cat Liz!!!!
LOL.
love YOUR quip about Tracy….
LOL! “…that bitch needs a beating”.
as good as she is…. Jane Elliott.
and she is the backbone…. comedic timing… and she’s all that…
ponder’ing… what if she did something else? quipping her hilarious read of scripts is one thing… but… when was the last time she had some meaty substance… ie: other emotional context… outside of ELQ and Luke?
it was what I was hoping for, when she was paired with Joe, Scully Jr.
i’d like to see her reach in to her self…. insecurity… loveless… loose her steely resolve…. something… she’s that talented…. not waiting in the wings with Luke… whilst he’s emmy realed.
Tracy is as Tracy does, she simply cannot help herself!!! She has her brief moments of introspection, then bounces right back to her default setting of mirthful malevolence….hey,.if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!!!!! Still, I have to admit it was oh so satisfying to see little Nurse Liz gather her gumption against La Quartermaine during the b-slap showdown. That being said, I was equally ecstatic over Ava’s epic expletive-laden (and most unladylike!) meltdown on yesterday’s ep. It really was quite gratifying to see her finally getting her long-awaited comeuppance after all that pathetic scheming, although it does make one question whether a ride on the cray-cray train to “Heatherville” is booked for Ms. Jerome’s near future…then again, perhaps she has already been, and is a previous acquaintance of the “BLT Queen” herself…she did recently mention that she had heard about Kellys’ most famous and beloved sandwich!!!! Hmmm….on another subject, love your usage of the word “whilst!” So veddy British and erudite….
My guess is if they kill her off– if she does return in the future they will say that they faked her death in order to put her into protective custody somewhere so Ava wouldn’t kill her for real for revealing Kiki is not a Q. Lots of way to die and come back on a soap. LOL
Actually Mary, on GH there is a saying ….. NO ONE IN PORT CHARLES EVER DIES… MAAA HAAAAA HAAAAAAA .
Dont think she will die….she will survive and leave town…
GH is ROCKING! The show today was great.
Looks great!!! Looks like Connie may go out with a flame rather tha a flicker! GH is the best and can get past some of these annoying characters when we get some real story and drama and emotion. Let’s keep Franco quiet in his hospital bed for a few more weeks and Taylor and Brad and Brit can be wherever and let the games begin!
There is no need to kill Connie. Except for a who-done-it story line. Booooo.
GH.
#1. What happens to Daniel Edward… is still, thus far… my only reason to watch GH.
#2. What TPTB do with the talented Kelly Sullivan. “Please don’t kill her off”. SHE makes everyone around her look good. intelligent, charismatic… sensual… a keeper. if this is for a ratings ploy – that bait and hook. at the expense of not having connie and or Kate in the future… I’ll be so dissapointed in the production of GH. DAYs are you interested?
#3. Julian Jerome. his presence is giving Port Charles a much needed adrenaline. va va voom – smoking hot. if they play this right… it would make Ava more bearable? likeable. reason to stick around… now that she has no more stake in the Quartermaines… altho… I thought she had potential with Franco. I certainly hope Julian doesn’t fall for Carly like every man does. I do agree with Shay – that Alexis may now find her MAN in Julian… dang he’s mine.
Alice is a dream…. her mother hen’ing AJ and Morgan.
Olivia – finally… you’re looking hot… no more wash and wear…. loved your hair and that green dress.
Sonny. Oh! this smarts… very atypical, of what happens to the women on soaps… so reminds me of Y&R… ie: bland so over Victor and even just jack. Sonny, declares… it’s for my kids and family comes first… he’ll justify… and we’re to accept that at the expense of Connie… she clearly told him the facts… and it’ll still be our loss.
Patrick….Dare I ask, but does it seem that the most glowing reactions to “Derek/Julian” seem to be coming from a certain segment of the male population???? As a female, he simply doesn’t do anything for me, but he appears to be quite a hit with the boys!!!! Hope you don’t mind the question. P.S. He’s ALL yours! ; )
I cannot think of anything that would make Ava more bearable, except her assuming room temperature. That being said, she did have a smashing dress today…great color, style, etc. And it was nice that she finally covered her arms…for once!
It was just as I thought… after seeing yesturdays epi….
“Sonny”….. the man…. reeling at Connie…. for putting the magazine first…. and telling her… you don’t have kids…. blah, blah, blah…. it was so obvious… and just made this so dumb for Kelly Sullivan….
she told him the truth from the get go…. and i have to even add Carly said the same as well.
this isn’t how you raise your kids… pit one over the other…. Sonny’s poor excuse… Michael is capable of handling this…. Morgan’s losing it… blah, blah, blah…
it was agonizing to watch…. and of course,,,,,AJ showing up at the door…. it was Tracy who told Connie to print the truth.
I love a good murder mystery. Just dont drag it into 2014 then it tends to become boring.
General Hospital – Is now one those shows, that you love or Hate. THE NUMBER 1 THING THAT I HATE MOST OF ALL: FRANCO, AND BRAD. If they can find a new character, for Roger Hwarth to play in the Quatermaine Family. I don’t find it interesting. The show has gotten better, but it’s sloppy when it comes FRANCO. The character. I mean. If they could loose FRANCO, some way within the show. Instead of killing off Connie, and keep Kelly Sullivan her acting is superb, excellent, amazing. I would let Connie stay on and kill off Franco, FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL. Then we could do a WHO DUNNIT. MYSTERY STORY. AND WHAT I LOVE THE MOST: is the the New Couples, with 1.) Nikolas and Britt, 2.) Patrick and Sabrina, 3.) Silas and Sam, 4.) Sonny and Olivia, and a possibility 5.) Alexis and Julion again. I think he might be the guy, that could pull Alexis out of her funk with her bad luck with guys. IM HOPING FOR:
1.) Lucy and Scotty 2.) Luke and Tracey or 2.) Luke and Laura. I wouldn’t mind either one, with Luke. And if it means a recasting of Jason: The show needs Jason back ASAP. I had the biggest crush, on Jason more than any other character. On the show. I wouldn’t mind a recast, just as long we have a Jason. And ROBIN NEEDS TO COME BACK ON, JUST AS MUCH AS JASON NEEDS TO BE ON THE SHOW. ROBIN can finally be with her family. What if the male character, that’s being held hostage by the same people is Jason, that have had Robin all along. Then these 2 can come back together.
Omg !!! I totally agree. I hate Franco . Didn’t like him when James Franco was playing him, I can’t stand him now that roger Howarth , a great actor, is stuck playing this ridiculous character. Kill off Franco, bring back Jason and robin. I do like that they are making Britt more likeable. I love her with nikolas . I wish Kelly Sullivan was staying !
REALLY! I totally cannot stand Franco-never have been able to. Awful character from the beginning. I speed thru his scenes-I don’t care who plays the part. Get rid of him. Bring Todd back to GH for Carly. I am loving Julian! Didn’t he play Storm on B&B? He seems so much sexier now! I would LOVE for him & Alexis to figure it all out & get together.
I have always liked Julian Jerome… The one sane member of the Jerome family… He was originally played by Jason culp . And yes he did play storm Logan on B&B. I REALLY wish they would get rid of Franco and Morgan .
Michael has already lost two loves, please let him win this one. Morgan is a spoiled brat, send him packing!
Totally agree. Can’t stand Morgan. Send him packing and please bring back Nathan parsons as Ethan , or Jason, and Kristina. I find Morgan a whiner, very unlikeable .
it just doesn’t make sense….
#1. Morgan asking his dad… Sonny… to let him keep the secret..
Connie and Carly… both…. spoke up to Sonny… and now the fallout is losing connie…
however, that happens.
to pit one son over the other… ok it’s a soap.
I hope this hangs over Sonny forever.
ie: this doesn’t bode well… for Sonny and Olivia as well…. too much baggage.
Actually think of Michael and Morgan as the “Dumb and Dumber” brothers. Neither one sets the world on fire, and Morgan has become a major, major annoyance…his thing with Kiki is bordering on obsession, and I have a feeling it won’t be pretty if/when his scheme for the quickie marriage doesn’t come to fruition. As for Michael, I have always found Duell’s single expression to be one of “frozen stupidity,” so I try not to pay too much attention to him, and I truly believe that if it were not for his real life relationship with KA then we wouldn’t even have to consider their current characters as potential partners…the whole thing was just pre-fabricated from the beginning to please the actors who obviously want to work together in a very bad way…the best idea would to be to free “Kiki” from her present persona/storyline and give her an entirely new direction based upon the discovery of her real identity. Let her go back to blonde and find someone new for her….maybe a returning “Ethan” if he sticks around awhile or who knows??? Just a thought…..
Good thoughts. I agree. Laughed out loud over the “frozen stupidity” comment but OMG IT IS SO TRUE! Ha! Michael pretty much has that same expression no matter who is talking to or what they are talking about. Seriously. I would love to see Ethan come back. I love Alice & Tracy-anything to do with the Q’s & the happenings at “Monica’s house”
I hope michael gets to his Kiki in time !!! But seriously, can we please call her Lauren ? I find the Kiki name annoying.
I think Connie might be killed off. So many of the characters are angry at her ; a.j, Morgan, sonny , Ava , Olivia, and lets not forget about her alter………..
I dont wont Connie to leave at all 🙁 Mabey Morgan could leave he so annoying, kid this kid get a job, I am however enjoying GH it’s been so great and was excited to see Sean Donley and Holly on the same day, i cant wait to see what is going to happen next.
ok, this isn’t going to win any praise from most, but as a mother of 4, I have to wonder if there is a more pathetic parent ANYWHERE besides Sonny Corinthos???? Really? your son needs to know you love him so you give in to his ridiculous plan to marry Kiki??? Wow. What parent hasn’t had a sibling say at one time or another, you always liked my brother/sister best??? Never fear, Sonny. You can always give that brat an unlimited line of credit at his online casino of choice — he would definitely love you then. And give your blessing to a nineteen year old kid who hasn’t made a responsible decision in his life, is living in his fiancee’s home, no source of income WHATSOEVER.
Just add that judgement call along with Sonny’s cowardice (always needs someone else to do his dirty work, unless he can shoot them while they are unarmed), and the fine example he sets for all his children (by the way, has he ever visited one of them EVER without some sort of agenda?), make him one of daytime’s poor excuse for a character.
Just my opinion.
You are not wrong!
Glad you enjoyed the “stuck on stupid” reference regarding Michael’s omnipresent facial expression….I have been carrying that observation around with me for ever so long and really needed to unleash!!!!! You know how that is…..!
I watched extra carefully yesterday’s GH, haven’t seen today’s yet but OMG Michael had THAT SAME DAMN FACE thru the whole show!
Let’s just say you won’t be surprised when you check out CD’s face in the latest episode….I have NEVER seen a whit of difference, and I’ve been watching pretty carefully since he joined the show….it was something that I picked up on right away, and in all this time I have yet to see any change of expression whatsoever!!!! It’s actually quite amazing….LOL!!!!
sonny fires at AJ and hits Connie instead…. that’s my guess. He’s perfecting his ‘aim at the bad guy, hit my gal instead’!
did the same for aiming at who, was it Alcazar?, and hit Carly, while she was giving birth
he needs one of those guns with the red dot, so he can actually hit the one he thinks he’s aiming for. te he he
You know, that was one of the creepiest scenes in daytime & that is saying a whole lot-the scene when Carly was giving birth on the floor of some mansion & got shot in the damn head! Yuck. Thanks (I guess, ha) for reminding me!
On direct tv I am not going to watch Disney Jr I amnot watch ing it all I care is my past and present soap operas I am not going to lose them ever again leave them alone o the woman’s entertainment channel is 260 I sure miss them a whole lot some people don’t care but the rest of us ladies do want soap net so we can catch up with them

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’
The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).
Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.
Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON
Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”
Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).
Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.
“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?
During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.
Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.
You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.
Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Reconnects with Danny; Tristan Roberts Arrives in Port Charles, Lots of Nods to #16
General Hospital’s 16,000th episode was packed with little reminders through points in today’s script that the ABC daytime drama series has set another milestone and it paved the way for the return of fan favorite and newly nominated Daytime Emmy Lead Actor nominee Steve Burton (Jason Morgan). The 16,000th episode also introduced viewers to the new surgeon in Port Charles Dr. Tristan Roberts played by Dean Geyer.
Here are the key takeaways and what went down on the July 13 episode: Tristan and Jason are seated next to each other on a plane heading to Port Charles. Throughout the flight, a beaten up Jason has flashbacks to being thrown into, and being held captive in a cell and tortured. It appears Jason is suffering from some form of PTSD from what he was put through after being dragged out of Port Charles by the WSB months ago.
As the plane prepares to land, Tristan tells Jason there would be a car waiting for him once they land and to enjoy the rest of his life. Later, Tristan arrives at the nurses and doctors hub at GH and approaches Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). He tells her his name and that he is the new surgeon on staff.

A REUNION PLUS A HEAD NURSE DEFENDS SONNY
Meanwhile, at the end of the episode, Jason is outside the Quartermaine boathouse looking bewildered when he runs into Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), who is so thrilled to see his father, and the two hugs each other as tears are shed.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth tells Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he thinks its a great idea for him to get the 16th seat on the hospital board, but when it comes times to convince Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) of that, things go awry when Tracy, Laura and Sonny try to work things out. After Tracy launches into Sonny about killing Alan and Monica’s son AJ, Sonny walks away dejected.
Next, Sonny runs into Elizabeth, where he informs her what happened with Tracy. So what’s a head nurse to do? Elizabeth marches into the conference room and reminds Tracy of all the different donations and ways Sonny has contributed to the hospital from the Stone Cates AIDS wing, to the Michael Corinthos Center for Pediatric Head Injuries as well as his constant support each year for the GH Nurses’ Ball.

WSB WAR SCARS
Then, in one of the best parts for longtime fans of the series, Elizabeth talks about her legendary grandparents, Audrey and Steve Hardy and she tells Tracy they would have wanted Sonny to have a seat on the board for all the good that he has done for the hospital. After Elizabeth states Sonny’s case, things took a turn and Tracy and Sonny wound up shaking hands as Sonny is board member #16.
In the how great was it to see Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) together scenes department, the pick-up of last Friday’s cliffhanger is played out as the two former lovers fill each other in on what has gone down in their lives in the last several months including Valentin admitting he had been living in Carly’s attic, and Anna realizing she was kidnapped by Cullum, Sidwell and Cassius Faison. During their conversation, Anna sees the hallucination of Peter August (Wes Ramsey) right while Valentin is standing there.

Later Anna was on her way to saying goodbye to Valentin, when the two share an emotional hug. After Valentin made his exit, Peter reappeared and warned Anna to not let Valentin distract her because she has important work to do. Anna answers, “I know.”
