General Hospital
This Week's GH Promo: "Guess Who's Back?" – Watch The Video!

Courtesy/ABC
ABC has released this week’s promo for General Hospital, and if you put the pieces together, you may figure out who the voice over narrator is talking about. Or, is it just a red-herring to throw viewers off? Time will only tell, but here’s what to look for as clues in the promo – the Jason/Bernie crime scene, coupled with Sam’s voice saying, “Don’t assume he is gone.” Next, we hear Monica saying, “If anyone should find out you’re alive ….”, and we see a man walking in the dark in what appears to be leather jacket! The promo ends with Patrick (who probably is talking about Robin at this point) stating, “People just don’t come back from the dead!”
So as we know, Sean Kanan is set to return to General Hospital next week! Steve Burton’s last airshow was yesterday. What do you think is going on here? Is Kanan going to be a very much alive A.J.? A replacement for Burton’s Jason? Are we talking about someone else completely showing up out of the blue?
Watch the General Hospital promo after the jump, and then weigh-in!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum’s Got Plans to Keep Brennan Out of His Way
On General Hospital, the Wednesday, May 13 episode saw Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) plotting to keep Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) from ever being a problem for him again, as Lucas (Van Hansis) reveals his hopes for a plan to rid the world of Cullum and his co-conspirator, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) in one fell swoop.
At the hospital, Nina (Cynthia Watros) is still freaked out by what she did by jabbing Jack with the dose of medication meant for Drew (Cameron Mathison). Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) comes to the hospital to try to get her mother to get a grip and then heads out to do damage control.
Cullum arrives and questions Nina about Jack’s medical condition. Nina lies and tells Cullum he should talk to Dr. Lucas Jones about Jack. In a tense exchange, Cullum shows Lucas he has documents that make him Brennan’s medical proxy and wants an update on his condition. Britt stumbles upon the scene and comes up with a fake emergency in another patients room to pull Lucas away from the WSB director.

STARING MY BOYFRIEND’S KILLER IN THE FACE
Now alone in the hallway, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) warned Lucas that if he acts like that around Cullum, he will get suspicious. Lucas says they should just tell Sidwell that Cullum stabbed Marco, so Cullum will be killed and Sidwell would be sent to prison. Lucas drops the idea realizing if Cullum dies Britt cannot get her hands on her Huntington’s disease medication. However, Lucas warned Britt how everything would explode once Sidwell found out that Cullum killed Marco, so they have to be certain that they have the evidence that Cullum’s the culprit.
Inside Jack’s room, Cullum tells an unconscious Jack that his stroke may have saved his life, because he planned to kill him. Meanwhile, Willow arrived at Wyndemere to see Sidwell. She explains that Jack accidentally got the dose of Drew’s medication and kept her mother’s name out of it. Sidwell is livid.

TWO MEN HAD “STROKES” AT MY HOUSE!
Willow thinks it’s time to stop drugging Drew so that people would be focusing on his recovery, rather than the odds that two different men had “strokes’ at Drew’s house. Willow threw the responsibility back on Sidwell telling him that he needed to figure out a way to make sure Drew didn’t expose them. Next, Sidwell reminded Willow that he gives the orders around here and not her. For good measure, he threatens that if they were exposed, she would have the most to lose.
At the end of the episode, and at Wyndemere, Sidwell informed Cullum that Brennan had been dosed with Drew’s medication. When Sidwell declared that things would go from bad to worse when Brennan wakes up and out of his locked-in state, then Cullum fired back, “Then he can’t come out of it.”

Meanwhile, Willow unexpectedly shows up at Michael’s (Rory Gibson) office while Jacinda (Paige Herschell) is there. She demands to talk to her ex-husband now, as the photo of Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow looking close snapped by the private eye is sitting on Michael’s desk.
So, do you think Sidwell should be the one to kill Cullum and then be carted off to prison … 0r, would you like to see Willow get caught for murdering someone since she got away with shooting Drew?

General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Rocco is Coming Apart at the Seams
On the Tuesday, May 12 episode of General Hospital, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) was at its epicenter and the secret which is destroying him. Previously, Rocco shot WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) in the back to stop him from killing Jason (Steve Burton) and to save Britt (Kelly Thiebaud).
However, the consequences of Rocco’s actions are weighing so heavy on him, that now he is starting to crack, and with good reason! While Rocco has been suffering in silence, he is wracked with guilt over Jason taking the fall for him, being carted away by the WSB, and worse yet, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) losing his father.
While Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) confronts “Nathan” (Ryan Paevey) about how he covered-up and “advised” Lulu (Alexa Havins) to stay quiet about the night on the pier which saw Rocco shoot Cullum, Dante can clearly see that the man in front of him seems off. His responses and demands and insights are not those of the good-natured “Nathan.” Will Dante be the one, or the last to know that “Nathan” is really Cassius Faison?

STAY AWAY FROM MY SON
In yet another confrontation, Lulu and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) go at it over Rocco. Lulu blames Britt for Rocco being on the pier at all that night, because Rocco cares about Britt, and she warned her not to get close to Rocco, but Britt did anyway.
Then, at the Quartermaine boathouse, Rocco was shocked to learn that Danny overheard Sonny saying that Jenz Sidwell was responsible for Jason getting taken away, and confided in Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) the intel several weeks ago. Rocco tried to cover his guilt as Danny and Charlotte explained they hadn’t confided in him because he has been so withdrawn lately.

ROCCO AND DANNY AT ODDS
Next, Danny asks Rocco to help him and Charlotte break into Wyndemere. Danny is determined to get info on Sidwell to try to find Jason. It’s at that point Rocco loses it. He shouts that Sidwell is a dangerous man and Danny needs to stay away from him.
In the most surprising turn of event, Rocco threatened both Charlotte and Danny that if they tried to sneak into Wyndemere he would turn them in.
Danny loses his cool and firmly tells Rocco, that unlike him, he didn’t have parents to clean up his problems for him and told Rocco to stay out of his way. As Rocco walked away, he asks Charlotte if she was coming with him. When she refuses, he tells the both to screw off.

THE ONLY PERSON I CAN TALK TO
Later, Britt returns to her room at Bobbie’s and finds Rocco waiting for her. He begins to share with her how freaked out he has been feeling over shooting Cullum. Britt hugs him and attempts to comfort Rocco letting him know he is a hero for saving her life and Jason’s. Britt tells Rocco she can talk to her anytime, as the two hug one more time. We fade to black.
Finn Carr delivered another excellent performance within his storyline. It’s clear GH made the right call by giving this young actor the ball with such a high stakes dramatic and emotional storyline to play.
So, do you think Danny will find out what Rocco did and come after him for letting his dad take the fall for shooting Cullum? Do you think Rocco will continue to turn to Britt, further upsetting Lulu? Will Dante get a clue about Cassius? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, in case you missed it, check out the emotional moments between Rocco and Britt on yesterday’s GH below.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina is Frantic, Sonny is Mistrustful, Chase and Willow are Being Framed
The highly-anticipated Monday, May 11 episode of General Hospital picked right back up with the drama; which also sets the tone for today’s next installment of the ABC daytime drama series.
In another excellent performance by Daytime Emmy winner, Cynthia Watros, Nina is watching things unravel right before her eyes, and she is always playing defense to try to cover for the events that just transpired.
Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) ends up on the floor of Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) house unable to move after Nina injected him with the paralytic drug dose meant for Drew. Her intended target was Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), but during the Jack/Valentin Brawl, she struck the wrong guy! Valentin helps Nina turn Brennan on to his back and then makes his exit before anyone sees him as she calls the paramedics who rush Jack to GH.

MAN DOWN
In the meantime, Drew, who has overheard all the screaming in the other room, starts to have mobility in his hands and is trying to reach for the phone since his weekly dose went to Brennan instead of him. Now at the hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) has questions for Nina on how Jack ended up like this; which Nina claims one minute they were talking and all of sudden he dropped to the floor.
A panicked Nina calls Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), who went out for a run and ran into Chase (Josh Swickard). She tells her daughter using cryptic words that Jack got the dose of meds meant for Drew. Alarmed, Willow runs back to Drew’s, but not before having conversations with Chase about how she will help ensure he and Brook Lynn have the best chance at keeping baby Phoebe, after all, they had been through so much when she lost their baby.
SNAPS TELL ALL?
The moments of closeness between Willow and Chase are snapped by a photographer or someone hiding in the bushes as it seems like Michael’s plan to implicate Willow and Chase by making it look like their having an affair is underway. How far will this go?
Meanwhile, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) went at Lulu (Alexa Havins) for keeping him in the dark about Rocco (Finn Carr) being the person who shot Cullum and their elaborate cover-up. Things get worse when Lulu mentioned “Nathan” also knows and helped Rocco the night on the pier of the shooting. Dante is livid that as Rocco’s father, she felt he could not be trusted, and it was for him to figure out how he would navigate the information to protect their son; even if he is the police commissioner. Lulu also shared she did not want to tell him, because of what happened when Michael went to prison all those years ago.

BROTHER TO BROTHER
At Ava’s (Maura West) art gallery, Sonny (Maurice Benard) with gun in hand, rails at Ric (Rick Hearst) for lying and deceiving him. Ric confesses he was being dishonest, but not about anything to do with Sonny or the business. He shows Sonny the secret art transaction he was working with Ava. The reason is, he wanted to surprise Elizabeth with it as they have a special weekend planned. Ric explained that the sale had to be be done covertly because of a legal conflict involving the seller’s divorce. Eventually, Sonny lowers his gun. Cooler heads prevail and the two brothers hope there will come a time where Ric’s loyalty to Sonny will never be in question.
Carly (Laura Wright) learns what happened to Jack from Valentin, and feels badly for Jack. Valentin also tells her Jack does not know where Josslyn is and now that he is incapacitated that means that Cullum will take over the day to day of the WSB bureau in Port Charles and things are about to get worse.

In the final moments of the episode, Willow runs into Drew’s house and stops Drew from dialing the phone near his wheelchair. She scolds her husband and says, “Looks like no one can be trusted to keep an eye on you except me.” we fade to black.
So, what did you think of the performance of Cynthia Watros? How much longer can Nina and Willow get away with what they have done to Drew and now Brennan? Elizabeth already mentioned to Lucas, what are the odds that two men have the same medical issue at the same house. Are you glad Willow and Chase are being framed, or annoyed by it? Weigh-in via the comment section. In case you missed it, check out the scenes below with Sonny and Ric, and Ethan and Ava.

I think if Kanan were replacing Burton, Frank and ABC wouldn’t be so secretive about it. Plus, that move would be a horrible one. I’d rather him back as AJ because he wouldn’t fit as Jason. Plus, not a fan of SK anyway!
I think the “Return” is AJ and Robin, officially!
THIS IS CRAP IVE BEEN WATCHING FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND JASON NEEDS TO COME BACK AND BE HIMSELF.. PLUS HE WOULD BE FURIOUS ABOUT AJ TALKIG TO SAM… AND MICHIAL. ISNT SAM SUPPOSE TO BE SMARTER THAN THAT??? SHE KNOWS HOW JASON HATED AJ????
A.J. Please let it be A.J.!
I was told when I left a comment on another website that no one other than Steve Burton could ever play his role.Couldn’t disagree more!But they’ll do what they want to do anyway regardless of what any fan might think!
Wishful thinking here but I wish they would surprise us again and bring back Tristan Rogers. This Duke storyline is ridiculous but makes even less sense with Luke involved and not Robert!
Patrick wouldn’t have that reaction to AJ as he wouldn’t even know who he is.
We know it isn’t steve burton. Robin couldn’t just up and come back alone out of a coma.
I am all for replacing Jason. Steve wasn’t fired. He was tired of playing Jason and he split so I have no problem with another playing his part. I am not going to sit and mourn a guy who didn’t want to be there and I really hate it when people write they aren’t watching the show anymore like he was forced out. If they mystery person is Sean Kanan coming in to play Jason bring it on.
as much as i have enjoyed watching Steve playing Jason all these years, i hate to say it, but you are right…he walked away from a role he has played many years…i can understand how sometimes you feel you need a change, i am working at my job 35 years, but i’m not walking away (even if many times i would love to)…it was his choice to leave and i would have no problem if they recast him as long as it was someone with the same dynamics and screen presence and connections with his co-stars…i just think if he really wanted to Steve could have worked something out..Steve Reeves family lives in TN also, but he manages to do the show and stilll live outside of LA. perhaps if he wanted SB could have asked for a bit less air time so he could spend more time with his family…anyway, it really doesnt matter anymore..he’s gone and now we all move on.
Only Steve can play Jason. Although he was portrayed as a hit man, he came across as a caring and loving person. I for one would hate to see someone else play Jason,
Everyone knows it is AJ and looks like Monica has known all along he was alive was he not in some kind of trouble when he fell down the staircase of course that was Billy Warlock playing him then a total miscast. And people no one is mad at Seve Burton he sold his house chose to move on they left an opening for him if he wanted to come back. End of story and let the man have some peace the economy alone is making people move out of California plus he has stated he did not want to raise his kids there. He is not a politician please take the man at his word. I may not have ever cared for his character but the actor is a good guy. His house sold he moved get over it.
Were you his neighbour?… just wondering. It sounds like you knew him.
ITA, This is very likely. I remembered a scene where Monica was talking to AJ’s (Lifeless) Body. So she could have hidden AJ to keep him safe. That is her voice in the promo. The scene of Patrick aired Last week when Anna Told Patrick that she thought Robin was alive.
Brian if I told you my source I would have to just kidding a columnist I do know stated all of this in their column. I just got a little pertubed that we can not take a person at his word now if he shows up over at Y&R then I guess I eat crow. Lol!
I think he will be playing a.j. But, who knows? All I know is that it will be exciting to watch and find out! Missing Steve Burton already, but still Love GH!!!
I do NOT like Duke. He looks like the devil.
I don’t like him either! And they changed and destroyed my Joe Scully to have him back. ISH ISH and ISH BORING!!
I agree. I hate Duke. What a has been!!!! He can not act because his face is so pumped up with botox and the eye lift was a botched job!!!!!
Joe Scully was hot!!!! It was a shame to dump Joe Scully a mega hottie who can act for the expressionless, llifeless Duke!!!! Today, Joe Scully had more personality dead than Duke does alive!!!!!
What a waste!!!!!! I love Steve Burton and I will miss him but I will miss Joe Scully just as much and he was on the Port Charles Landscape for such a short time!!!!
I think is was politics that got him fired. I am sure some major cast mates were threatened by his good looks, charisma, and acting ability.
I totally disagree, I think Duke being back is a stroke of genius, and I’m glad they are keeping him as a bad guy!
This is Duke is not the same Duke I used to love. This Duke is more like Ian McAllister from Days and I didn’t like him. Is it possible that too much time has lapsed for his character to be significant in PC?
Sean Kanan looks like Steve Burton so who knows if they recast? Like someone said before, GH has to scramble to fill this role since Steve vacated it. Can’t blame the actor though, he was over LA and can’t blame the show for wanting to continue with the character who still has more story to tell. We’ll see.
i want to know why/when did duke become so mean??? he sounds and acts more like jullian gerome than duke….
I agree. New writers intrepretation. If they’re going to bring back a character from the dead then I wish they would at least respect the character’s personality traits. Who would want THIS guy to be with Anna??
Maybe it’s not really Duke? I didn’t watch when Duke was on before – but man, I can’t stand him now. I FF thru much of his stuff.
Why even bring him back if it’s not Duke? Honestlly, I think the character has been gone too long and now they’ve made him so nasty that he’s hard to care about.
I don’t remember this character being as bad as he is now, but it’s been awhile; perhaps I need a refresher on why Anna fell in love with him in the first place!
I totally disagree, I think Duke being back is a stroke of genius, and I’m glad they are keeping him as a bad guy! I’ve been sick of Jason for years, glad to see the canvas open up and less of the Sonny/Jason show.
He just reminds me more of Ian McAllister on Days than he does of Duke Lavery; the Duke I remember anyway. I’d like to root for the ol Duke & Anna but the writers are making that impossible right now.
I do agree with you on not making it a Sonny/Jason show or a Carly show for that matter …. no one should hog up screen time unless it’s Tony Geary 🙂
Why can’t it be Steve Burton ? I read one time where he might fly into town to work – and they aren’t individually on enough now to have that be impossible.
I hope so, anyway…..sigh. I’m sure not crazy about the time being wasted on Duke, that evil incarnate, and RC has finally disappointed me with getting rid of Scully – when he was so great with Monica.
Sad – I thought I was on a great GH wonder experience lol!
well, he just left the show and sold his house in LA – why would he want to fly back & forth? He’ over it.
$$$$$. He left before for a couple of years – and then came back with long hair lol. I’m sure if he could fly into LA twice a month and do a bunch of scenes and then go back to Nashville he’d do it – unless he ends up with a new job – maybe he’s going to be with Jonathan on Nashville.
I’m very angry about the way Jason was written off. Steve/Jason deserved to be able to have air time with all the characters JAason interacts with. The fans deserved to have more time with the Jason’s new family- and for the baby to be found to be Jason’s before he left. And his leaving should have been something better written. A true story- like leaving the mob, or trying to find Robin or something where either Steve or someone else as Jason could come back- in a way that is not insulting to the viewer. Good bye GH, I’ve had it. At least for the foreseable future. I don’t want to see the reactions of his loved ones . Now MOnica is all alone. Terrible writing.
I wanted Jason to know Danny was his baby too, and hate missing those scenes. However, I think your anger is misdirected. Steve chose to leave which I imagine was a surprise and created much work to be re-written and planned, and probably not enough time for what we wanted, before Steve left.
I’ll miss SB, but I’m more concerned about this ridiculous storyline of Duke Lavery’s return. 🙂
Why would they bother shooting Jason and throwing him in the water if they planned to recast him right away? It’s gotta be AJ.
I know Team GH is working hard to restore the lustre and they are successful. I am just “over” resurrections and international terrorism and espionage.
The lady who dropped the cup is Monica and who she saw at her door was A.J, back from the dead..
It has nothing to with Jason ..
(and with Patrick it is about Robin ..
I agree. Plus AJ returning would definitely put Carly on edge so it makes sense to show her in the promo – be it Jason being presumed dead or AJ returning from the dead.
Sure would like AJ and Alan to come back.
Well in OLTL one Todd was replaced with another Todd….Plus they haven’t found Jason’s body…Hmmmm!!!!!!! Don’t you find that an opening for something unexpected!!!!
The mystery where’s Jason’s body if they can’t find it???? My idea is his body drifted somewhere on land & someone found him & is taking care of him………It’s happen before on the soaps………….
I think Sean Kanan will be back as AJ, as it should be. There is only one Jason (imo), and that is most definitely Steve Burton. Good promo though – maybe misleading, but definitely intriguing.
I think they want to throw us on a little “wild duck hunt,” as Ricky Ricardo would say. The man in the dark is either Jason or AJ and the woman in the boots is trying to lead us to believe it is Robin.
I heard Robin calls the house and Emma answers, so she is adding to the mystery for the fall storylines.
I’m interested in who this Sabrina really is too. I have heard she could be a plant for Duke or Anna’s believed-to-be-dead daughter, Leora Hayward. It is all very interesting.
I think that Sean will be probably be coming back as ” JASON” and not as A.J…. but
how ever anybody’s guess is as good as mine.. anyways I’ll surely miss Steve Burton as Jason Morgan on the show.. and wish him the good luck !
Its AJ, Robin and Allan.
they need to bring back emily!!! and ya know rember monicas daughter dawn? she was ALSO KILLED [another stupid move] ,a good story would be dawn wasnt realy her kid but a conwoman who came to care for the q”s wich would mean her REAL kid is alive!!! somewhere…..and bring on elizbeths dad jeff webber he and monica where married at one point…giving monica a story and a love interest…..
Not for nothing but those looked like a womans boot walking…maybe its Emily.
It’s AJ !!
That’s be nice. I’ve always felt bad for Monica, because the previous regime killed off all her family. I also felt bad because Jason didn’t have much to do with her. I’m hoping that the show can finally move away from Sonny and the mob and find a new pulse, pun intended. Long live ONE LIFE TO LIVE.
A.J faked his death, monica knew, she calls him to tell him Jason is dead. He comes back to town, agianst her advice. she kept quite to keep her son alive.
i want it to be Robin and Jason but we know it will be AJ.
Hopefully, today’s episode (with Monica looking at pictures of Jason and SK’s AJ in the family album) will finally put to rest all of the silly rumors about SK being a Jason recast. First of all, even though I’ve never been much of a fan of the character, Jason is too iconic a role to be recast and FV and RC know it. Secondly, it’s been repeatedly stated that the door is being left open for SBu to return if or when he chooses. I’m looking forward to AJ’s storyline.
I know Steve walked away. He was tired. He played Jason “on and off” , mostly on, for about 20 years. He said he loves the show, his co-workers, the entire staff and all his fans, but he needed a break. He has a couple of young kids to help raise and wanted to spend time with them. When you work on a daily soap, you often have to work late hours. He needs to be there for his kids. Maybe he’ll get tired of whatever he’s going to do in Tennessee and come back. I hope they don’t replace his character so he can come back. I’m sure that most of his fans would welcome him back with Open Arms. I hope very much that he enjoys his time off, but I also hope he comes back to GH. He will be truly missed.
Glad abut afew things.
Glad that Jason is dead, and hoes that he stays that way. Also glad that it is Monica Quartermaine that will expedite the return of her son Alan Jr. I always wished that Jason woulda died instead of AJ . With Jason and Edward dead the Quartermaines are facin extinction. With that, I am glad that AJ is coming back to have scenes with Monica, Tracy, Carly, Sonny, andmost importantly Michael.
Jason and Robin should stay dead. That would be on my wishlist. Also I would let Heather eliminate Liv as well. That girl is just dumb and needs to go!!!!!!!!!
Hay Jason pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
come back to GH and sam
