General Hospital picks up this week with the court trial of the death of  little Hope and Starr’s beloved beau, Cole at the hands of a supposed mob war where Anthony Zacchara’s tires were blown out due to mysterious gunshots supposedly from the guns and hands of Sonny Corinthos, which then led to the car collision that ultimately killed Starr’s family unit.

With everyone having an agenda to put Sonny behind bars for good, who do you think has the best chance of destroying the loveable, misunderstood,  and at times violent mob kingpin?  John McBain has an axe to grind from a previous past with Sonny.   There is no love lost between the Corinthos and the Zacchara clan, and Anthony is certainly out for payback.  And there is Kate, Sonny’s girlfriend, or is it Connie? Whatever the case, the trial looks to be filled with revelations and teasers!

Watch the GH preview from ABC after the jump, and let us know who you think has the best chance at revenge on Sonny, whether he is guilty of  a crime or not?

John McBain I HOPE!

WHO CARES?! As long as SOMEONE finally gets rid of Dimples the Teflon Don of DESTRUCTION, I’ll be not just happy, but ECSTATIC!! And think of the drama and scenes we could have at a funeral!! If you could toss Liz into the bargain and maybe turn it into a Jarly reunion, my life will truly be MADE!! I’m currently down one pixie and the “Boundaries” pixie is pissing on her marriage and well on her way to a McBam hookup so it would be great to get rid of the “Wind” pixie, who is a COMPLETE waste of airtime!!

ahahahaaaaaa THE best nickname EVER for sonny corinthos!!!!!! but let it be a woman who takes him down. i say anna devane and john mcbain.

Toni,you are hysterical ,I may be missing something here but who the hell is pixie? Is it Sam?DOMINICSMYTHE,is right that is the best nickname for sonny corinthos.

I call the “Pixies” Jason collection of girlfriend–past and present!! They’re ALL petite, brunette, condescending and holier than thou… It all started with the Original Pixie aka St. Robin aka Robin Scorpio-Drake, then we have the Wind Pixie aka Baby Mama Pizie aka Lizzard aka Elizabeth Webber(? or whatever she’s using this week), and finally, there’s the Boundaries Pixie aka Spam aka Scram aka Samantha McCall!! I have a major issue with EACH of them although Patrick has made Robin more tolerable and and John McBain is doing the same for Sam… But that’s just me!!

I’m still waiting for them to bring back Jason Morgan and get rid of JaStone Borgman… I miss how they used to write him and they’ve strayed from the original character until he’s virtually unrecognizable… But that’s a rant for another day, but… I’m DEFINITELY down for a DeVane/McBain or DeBain(as Scummy has become the BANE of GH’s existence) takedown!!

Sonny it totally completely innocent! I would bet my life on it!! Bet Connie did it. Sonny was shot he couldn’t shoot the tires. Love John but Love Sonny more! He would of shot Anthony face to face!!

Sorry I like John McBain way more than Sonny…Again tired of his mob character on GH………..I think these mob stories are hurting GH…………Again more love & mystery stories..

I hope it is Connie. There is nothing worse than being betrayed by the one you love. John McBain should contribute too because Sonny always thinks he is smarter than law enforcement. I don’t care if Sonny is guilty or not. It will be all the more entertaining if he ends up in jail for a crime he did not commit.

Can the show seriously quit with all of this mob crap?! I mean seriously! And why on earth is Anthony still on our screens? The man isn’t funny. He’s just annoying. I could hardly enjoy those birthday scenes with Tracy yesterday due to Anthony’s presence.

I agree .. why doesn’t GH stop doing the mob stories……………..It’s getting old fast…

I think it’s between john Mcbain & Connie that might do sonny in…It’s about time he has gotten away with too much………………Time Sonny was put in his place….And down-size the mob/gangster stories…..They will get more viewer’s that way…That’s my opinion…Gangster stories have been going on tooooooo long…Time for change… Something new & refreshing………….It will get more & new viewer’s interested…….More love stories………………….Much less revenge & violence(gangster stories)…….When the trial is over time for Sonny to go the straight & narrow….How much longer can these gangster stories go on……………….

I am tired of Sonny & Jason mob/gangster stories……………………They need to change that storyline asap…………………………….That’s what I think….This has been goinh on for years…..Gh is getting in a rut with this story…..Gh should go in a different direction more love stories & mysteries…That keep you guessing…And interested and wanting more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my money is on kate/connie and i can’t wait to see it unfold………….lol

I’m with you, Ethel! Connie is going to love this. 😉

The person I most want to destroy Sonny is Claudia Zacchara. Now that Sarah Brown is free from Days it can happen.

has to be connie… she’s got it out for him!

Sonny’s cgharacter thinks he above it all…Never getting caught in all the time I have watched GH…I hope McBain or Connie brings him down…He is over due to fall…………

No one will destroy Sonny because GH is now “the Sonny show” and will always be.

It’s “The Sonny & Jason Show”, Heather. Get it right.

you will eat those words! GH has already become significant;y less the “Sonny show”. Maurice even tweeted about having a lot more time on his hands since Garin Wolf came on board — and same with Ron Carlivati.

YOUR RIGHT<DOMINICSMYTHE,

I agree.

I’m new, so I don’t get too involved with Sonny one way or another. BUt I don’t think he’s guilty. I base that off of what Jason said about the kind of man Sonny is…mob boss or not. I guess the mob is supposed to have some code about killing kids. (?) If he’s brought down, my money’s on Connie. Ten to nine, however, if he’s found guilty now, he’ll be cleared in a month or two.

RODD,I bet your right ,I agree sonny didnt blow those tires out I think connie did it,shes nuts.

Abc /disney IS NOT GOING TO CANCEL GENERAL HOSPITAL<WE WON,GO TO DEADLINE ITS OFFICIAL,YES

Sonny isn’t guilty. Nobody is taking Sonny down.

The mob storylines are what keep GH going…it’s not your typical love/romance soap opera and I think that is fantastic! Without Sonny, Jason and Carly, the show would be a flop. Congrats to them for not getting cut! I’m glad and look forward to watching it everyday!

Yes, I feel Connie blew the tires out!

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
