General Hospital
THIS WEEK ON GH: Chillers, Thrillers, And One Wicked Watercooler Worthy Wedding!

Courtesy/GH
It’s Halloween week 2014, and all roads to “fright night” lead to ABC’s General Hospital!
For weeks, the stories have been building, and the pieces have been placed, for major plot points to unfold causing havoc and repercussions for most of the citizens of Port Charles! First, there is Nina (Michelle Stafford) and Madeline (Donna Mills) who are scheming to take Ava’s (Maura West) baby from her! How will they do it? Will they succeed? Just how diabolical and twisted will their plot get? And,will the audience actually feel empathy for Ava in all of this?
Next, Franco (Roger Howarth) is out for revenge on Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) knowing that his bride-to-be cheated with her ex-hubby on more than one occasion! And, Franco knows that it was Sonny who killed Michael’s (Chad Duell) bio-father AJ Quartermaine! Will Michael finally learn all?
Additionally in the promo, Sam (Kelly Monaco) is seen reading a file and shocked at what she finds out! What is she discovering? How does this figure in to the equation? Is it news about Jason (Billy Miller) … or Fluke (Tony Geary)?
Watch the GH Halloween spooktacular week promo after the jump! Then, let us know how you think these several storylines will play out in the days ahead … and, which are you looking forward to seeing the most?
Can’t see the promo in Canada 🙁
Yes lisa, you are right. I live in Vancouver Bc, Canada and cannot see the promo. That is really a bummer.
I already feel empathy for Ava. You know why? Because Maura is a fabulous actress and manages to make Ava sympathetic to me in spite of her misdeeds. Kudos to Maura!
I agree maura is such a great actress..you going from loving her to loathing her to feeling sympathetic. She shines with Morgan in storyline they have amazing chemistry.
I can’t say that I disagree with you! Maura is an unbelievable actress! She brings vulnerability to such a cold-hearted woman-especially in Ava’s scenes with Morgan. Ava seems to have deep regret over hurting him. Nevermind that Maura is gorgeous! I just love her style!
I actually like Ava…UNTIL…I remember she set up AJ on more than one occasion and had a hand in his death. (my loyalty’s always with AJ…LOL…and…not to mention .she was ready to kill Michael.) So it’s quite the conundrum!
If I HAD to make a choice I’m looking forward to Todd…I mean, Franco’s…revenge. I soooooo want Michael to find out!
lol goes to show; Ava is very versatile 🙂
when Ava is on screen, I can feel her … great actress!
You mean Maura is versatile, Su. Ava is as versatile as the writers want her to be. ….as every other role any character may play. The only versatility that is characteristically Ava? She’s extraordinarily resourceful.
I read the actor’s/actress’s face. Facial expressions mirror feelings, and Maura West is one of the few whose face tells a story….that is the reason why she is so great at her craft….among Michelle Stafford and Jenn Liley, to name a couple….
I still believe someone will get injured at the wedding, that Lucas will use his medical knowledge to save that persons life and it’ll convince Lucas to go for a medical position at GH…meanwhile, i believe RC is reworking his OLTL Victor/Todd plotline and that nuJason is really Mason…Jasons unknown twin brother who is programmed by the Cassidines to think he is the real Jason(Robin is convinced he is Jason) and the Cassidine will use Mason/Jason in their sinister plot against several PCs citizens!!!
I can’t wait for the Cassadines to return, they are immortal !!!
I am excited for this wedding!!
GH is so unique, gotta love it ..
The actors alone stamp it as awesome!!
… Nina (Michelle Stafford) and Madeline (Donna Mills) Ava (Maura West)
Franco (Roger Howarth) Jason (Billy Miller) F/luke (Tony Geary)
(Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard)
WOW !!!
The wedding will be thrilling, for sure!!
I cant wait for the wedding too…
su0000, I love all of the actors you listed above-very talented group!
I also love the Cassadines. Miss Victor and his scenes with Liesel and Spencer.
What if NuJason is really A.J. and not the twin i previously posted?
haha! I actually thought of that too! That would get Sonny off the hook…sorta. But, nahhhhhhh..
That right…Sonny would be free, and i sooooo much want Micheal to hate him and get his revenge…lol
agree jimh. can’t wait!
The wedding! I’ve NEVER liked Franco&Carly but this story is thrilling. I just hope they WONT end up married and that we will finally be heading to a Carly&Sonny reunion!
loving everything general in the hospital,,ninas a real kick,,love her and madeline…loving morgan in any scene shirtless,,,ava eats up every scene with that delicious smile that only maura west can deliver,,, billy miller is even bringing life to elizebeth….love love love general hospital…and dam young and restless i gave that show up last year now with the addition of kelly sullivan i have to tune in…..thats the only mistake general hospital has made this last year killing connie/ kate….just wish they would get rid of luke,,,havnt even noticed he was gone,,,maybe time to trade gearys demands and turmn them over to genie francis,,,,everyone still thinks of laura…..one last thing the cassidines without laura mean nothing,,get rid of em,,except nicholas,,,love my britnick…o,k im done
Same here, Randy. …GH is doing its thing…I thought today’s scene with Scotty and Franco sitting in bed together eating strawberries was exceptionally hilarious.
Although I have to say, CeeCee, that if I were never to see Scotty in that robe again, it would be toooo soon!
HI !!!!! Shay…..good to hear from you.
Yes, Scotty is not that easy on the eye. I mainly focus on his giant forehead….very distracting….when I see it, everything else seems to fade. That forehead surely takes precedence over all things….LOL
Hey Girl!!! Good to hear from you, too! Just wanted to wish you good luck on your imminent return to the classroom….it won’t be the same here without your copious, charm-filled comments to look forward to reading each and every day. Don’t forget about us, and do try to check in now and then….I know you will be super busy—I say after my own week-long+ absence—but I’ll be eagerly anticipating your glittering jewels of colossal wit!!!! Take care!!!! P.S. Um, yeah, Scotty’s expiration date on “stud muffin” status expired many moons ago!
oh girls…stop it! I LOVE Scott! He’s soooo much a part of GH history…and I always find him lovable even when he’s annoying! And I agree; the father/son bonding bed scene, LOL, was tres amuse…ANDDDDDDDD…I don’t think Scott’s bad looking at all…just needs to drop a few but I think he’s held up well.
Was looking at Michael Easton on youtube today…don’t know the year…but he was so incredibly good-looking and had a great body. When he took off his shirt he had ink and muscles. Not quite sure why he lost so much weight…still a looker though.
Hi Shay!!! Yes, was wondering where you were.
Hi CeeCee. Hope your school daze will still allow you to unwind with your soaps and partake in the ring here. 😉
I just read Shays reply…didnt know you’ll be off for awhile…i too wish you good luck in the classroom…i, unfortunately, will be leaving this site early next year and maybe for good…i need to make some cuts and it looks like im going to start with cable and internet…i was going to cut out food but according to my doctor i need to eat to live…lol…i’m going to stay on here for as long as i can…maybe by New Years things will change …ill keep my fingers crossed…but if not…well, you know the saying ‘All good things must come to an end’…if that happens i might try the computers at the library and check the site out once in awhile but they are usually full…i wont leave here until its definate!!!
Hello to you, too, rebecca1!!! Been awol for a bit…thanks for noticing….nothing serious, just too much to do and too little time! I tend to agree that Scott is not necessarily bad looking….he has potential, but it’s his buffoonish, boorish, blowhard behavior that is so off-putting to me, and also the electrified hedgehog coiffure. I just don’t get it….he has a good, full head of hair, he should grow it out more so that his face doesn’t look so full. I also would like him better with a different woman….I found his pairing with Lucy to be insufferable and now that he has “chosen” Bobbie, it’s all I can do to not look away in complete horror at the two of them. Even though I didn’t want to see him with Laura because of their history, he was far more bearable when they were together. As for ME….yep, he was quite the looker back in the day…always unique, and with the coolest vibe. I cannot tell you had many times I saw him on primetime episodes……they never failed to be a treat! I still find him to be very appealing most of the time….again, the hair is the key….when the style is a tad off he can look too gaunt facially, but regardless I do like our Silas!!!! (Great little mini-reunion with Sam, by the way….awwww.)
Ron tried the twin brother thing with Franco which wasn’t believable to the fans who know that Susan Moore had one 8lb baby boy back in the 80’s. Unless it is revealed that the detective who called Alan from NYC telling him of Jason’s birth was in on the cover up, I don’t see that happening.
What is Carly dressed up as/in? I am interested in seeing the aftermath once the truth is revealed. I am tired of the same conversations between Carly and Sonny. I was watching the scenes where Michael found Sonny in the Quartermaine Crypt and what ridiculous lines-Sonny dreaming of murdering Faison. What father says that to their son? I’ve always been a fan of Maurice’s-since his AMC days and his early days in PC with Brenda, Lois, and Ned. Nowadays, the writers give him the same lines to repeat-which are basically ridiculous-how Carly belongs with him, blah, blah. Seriously, how many women has he said that to? Grew tired of Carly’s obsession with Jason and Sonny a long time ago, too.
I am enjoying watching Donna Mills. Have always loved her. Have grown fond of Michelle Stafford. Always love Dr. O-comedic genius! Love and miss the Q’s.
Nice having a break from Sam.
I think Sam finds out that Danny is sick again & this time Julian’s bone marrow won’t be able to save him! Paging Mr. “Jake Doe”! 😉
That crossed my mind, too, don holley.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Carly and Lulu Make Plans to Rescue Their Children; Anna Looks Determined to Secure Her Freedom

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? 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.
