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.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Announces Upcoming Release of His First Single, ‘If You Need Me’

Taking to his Instagram story over the weekend, to announce the pre-save of his new single, Chad expressed, “I’ll make a full post about what I’ve been up to and my music once it goes live next week, but you can pre-save my first single so it goes straight to your Spotify once it drops next week.”

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.

Absolutely LOVE what appears to be coming!!! It truly is must see TV!!! Knocking the 50th out of the park GH!!! Just wish the shows were longer!!!
Forgot to say I am looking forward to all of the stories to play out… can’t pick just one… they are all too good!!! It’s a balance of wild, crazy, fun, and emotion packed drama with twists of fun along for the ride!!! Well done!!!
Has anybody thought what this show is going to look like after the Anniversary week and the Nurse’s Ball? Do we just lose all of the past cast and the storylines settle down or does it go on for the whole month of April? Michael do you know anything? Not sure I want spoilers but have you heard is GH celebrating all of April or just the first week around the April 1st Anniversay? Hope they stagger the departures over days, weeks or never…
Thanks for the reply about my April fools day spoof! Sometimes i like to see a little humor in these threads to compenstate for all the rudeness and other negative stuff we sometimes read here. As for what i read from what youve asked…ive heared some vets are staying while some are just here for short story arcs. i did read the actress on her facebook claim she is leaving the show; let go? I hope RC has others good stuff planned after the nurses ball because after that and all the hoopla surrounding the vets return, anything else doesnt seem possible to generate as much publicity. Hopefully, RC will continue to write exciting stories, for the characters who remain, to keep us loyal fans engaged so the ratings will stay up and help keep GH on the air for many more years to come.
Agreed… we need more humor and light hearted posts… this is TV. What actress might have been let go? I trust that RC will have great stories to come just hope they transition people off over time and not all within a week or so.
Do you mean Lindsay/Christina?
I agree Heidi! Yeah, gotta wonder who will be on the show and who will be leaving after the 50th ?? They definitely can’t keep up with this pace of having that many cast members on the show — even though I love seeing past faves!
Thanks and agree!
Yes…i meant kristina…i thought i added her name…but somehow it didnt show up? thanks
‘Im soooooo excited…that i just cant hide it!’ Yes, ive been playing my Pointer Sisters record. And for those fans not coming to the party, the celebration will go on without you!
If i was writing GH ida done a special April 1st episode with mostly Sonny and the mob, the return of the Balkin, and feature Brenda in every scene. The last ten minutes we would see Patrick getting married to Sabrina with little Emma exclaiming ‘Sabrina, your the best mommie ever!’ Then cut to the Drake home Pactric would tell Sabrina he never loved a woman as much as he loves her as he throws pictures of Robin and other mementos of her in a large box marked Goodwill donations. And as Patrick and Sabrina are about to kiss passionately, Robin jumps out of the Goodwill box and along with Patrick and Sabrina yells ‘APRIL FOOLS!’ to the viewing audience! Id b lmao!!!
Again… very imaginative and hilarious!!! That would be a total spoof for Fools Day!!! Thanks for that!
this looks amazing micheal,,thank you for posting
Can not wait, looks like it will be filled with lots of drama, excitement and fun at the same time!!!!
Knew Helena would be back, and I also would not be surprised if somehow Stefan is involved in this storyline with Luke and Laura as well.
I know, I believe so .. he is definitely coming back. It makes the most sense, especially after today’s episode with the guy they caught killing himself. (Sorry for the spoiler alert) — I smell a serious Cassadine curse coming along! Great work RC & FV, GH is unstoppable minus the mess that PP tried with Starr, Todd, & John we will survive!!
Btw this is my first time EVER posting on here, hope you guys take it easy with me 🙂
Welcome EJP!!!! Everyone is entitled to their opinions here, and it is a great way to see things from others perspectives also. We will see soon enough, if we are right about Stefan.
The promos look awesome, it’s so exiting cant wait for the nurses ball.
I am loving this show right now but just saw a very disgusting scene. With the embarrassment of riches the show currently has with its vets, WHY are they wasting airtime on Felix at all, and by extension…Felix‘s crush on Milo???? And why are they using an innocent child to prop this filth up? Little Emma just cheerfully chirped to TJ “No silly, Felix likes boys.“ Then Molly says “maybe he is gay and doesnt know it“ Haley Pullos is a child too. Why is this show using young children to push the gay agenda?? It is disturbing and disgusting! Get that crap off the screen and get back to the heart and soul of the show with characters and couples we care about.
It is not an “agenda,” it is a storyline the message of which, perhaps, might be tolerance. Perhaps you can acquire some. If not, since gays and straights post here, take the hate elsewhere. The world is changing, my dear. A majority of Americans now support gay rights, which rights include loving who one wants to love. GH is only reflecting the changing attitudes of Americans, kind of like, some years ago, when soaps had interracial couples to acknowledge that that taboo had been overcome.
You have a right to your opinion, but to cloak it in hate speech is not the way to express it. Some posters are gay — I’ll bet that many of us here support gay rights — and your venom is not appropriate to this website.
I didnt hear any venom or hate speech in this post. This person was expressing an opinion which is perfectly within his/her rights. You don‘t have to agree with it but to accuse them of hate speech, venom, and intolerance is a bit radical. I happen to agree with him/her on many levels. Mostly though, that the character of Felix is a major waste of precious airtime with all of the awesome veterans back on the canvas. If you can list ONE purpose that the character serves, other than being an effeminate, shallow, token gay driven by lust for hunky men, I would like to hear it.
thanks tristan… i liken it too….
an every day…. “normal” response… in that… it’s how we all should consider, being.
Leave the gay bashing to urself Jovan…and yes, what u wrote is considered gay bashing. Most of those who bash gays are closeted gays themselves…just sayin… Go away.
lil’ Emma… probably shouldn’t have said those things…. as hip and in the know as she is smart.
as for Molly… i think that was fine…
———————–
Jovin… give us ALL a break…. seriously…. GH wasn’t “pandering” to anyone… or ANY thing?
Ashlee ? Honestly… pull that foot/shoe outa you know what…. your mouth. You do what you do so unintelligibly.
I am 50 this year, too. GH has esactly four months one me. I may use for myself the tag line “When you’re about to turn 50, this no time to hold back.”
I have never been so excited about daytime drama in my 40 years of watching. And today Y&R is 40!
And AMC and OLTL are soon back from the dead!
Oh, how I miss my ATWT though.
Congrats to GH on turning 50! What a milestone and the show has never looked so good! I’m so excited for the Nurse’s Ball! Can wait for the tributes to Amy and Jessie! Looking forward to see Lucy in her full ball regalia! Can’t wait to see more from past faves like Anna, Duke, Bobbie, Leslie et al and am thrilled that the Ice Princess storyline will be revisited. Frank and Ron have done a great job bringing the romance and suspense back to GH. Thank you to all involved for an awesome celebration.
Britt’s mother is so vicious & has no feelings or emotions at all! Luke & Laura together
looking for their daughter together! Robin needs to appear at the nurses ball ASAP!
Everything would explode ! The shock on everyone’s faces seeing Robin is alive!
Robert Scorpio knows she is alive but he is still in a coma….
Lindsey Morgan (aka FauxTina) is out!!!! There IS a God!!!
Can’t wait! It’s going to be exciting!!!
Promos look great!! Can’t wait to watch! 🙂
Love Stefan/Laura – SN/GF chemistry is magical. So over L/L & L/S. GF needs to go back to blonde as she looks too old with the darker hair and AG looks so much older then her every time I see them together he looks more like her grandfather more and more.Please save Genie from this mess of recycling the L/L/S triangle that’s older then time itself. Laura needs a real man and he’s Stefan Cassadine,together they can run the Cassadine empire with Nikolas at there side. Now that would have me watching. So sick of it being always about Luke,Laura needs to shine on her own!
Wow!
thank you.
they need to re-write this stuff immediately…. it’s the same ole same old… regurge… if you will….. they’re TOO old… and i mean this in a common sense. Oye! 100% agree about Luke…
this stuff in the hospital… with them making phone calls… ie: Nicholas has been shot… ???? that was poor writing…. and acting…
Stefan, is the answer to Genie Francis’ Laura.
Sexy… dark… electric… would give Laura… a big foundation… for being in Port CHarles…
it can’t be about “Luke and Laura”….
believe you me… i’m happy that these two characters are on GH.
forgot to add… altho… i’ve posted this before.
watching Genie Francis on Y&R as Genevieve… PROVED HER ACTING CHOPS & TALENT.
sorry about the caps some times… it’s just that… imo… they’re already wasting her debut… return.
I have tears just watching these promos 😉 General Hospital is finaly back to its former (pre- Guza and Jill) glory! Thank you Ron and Frank. You are truly my heroes
gh is really old yet it still has no core families who are African american and Latino american and Asian american. gh has obviously failed w/ the aspect of racial diversity. Majority of hollywood tv shows don’t have racially diverse casts and personalities. Yet racially diverse tv shows are successful. A lot of day talk shows w/ only white hosts have been axed like blanderson cooper’s flop day talk show. Yet “the talk” is one of the higher rated day talk shows and it is the most racially diverse. Night soap scandal’s 18-49 demo is only .1 less than idol w/c is still fox’s number 1 show. The spoof real husbands of hollywood’s 18-49 demo makes it the number 1 cable sitcom. The cast of that sitcom is majority black. The ratings of conservative fox news have even quadrupled rachel maddow’s loser ratings on msnbc. Giggles! All msnbc does is create their low rated left wing answer to fox news. One of the highest rated cable news tv shows is “the five” from fox. msnbc creates their answer to “the five” w/ msnbc’s “the cycle” w/c is a flop. Univision telenovela “i’m eva” is higher rated than the tv shows from abc and fox and nbc and cbs that are its direct competition. The Bible is obviously a hit. There would be more tv shows w/ racial diversity and conservative tv shows and religious themed tv shows if hollywood was primarily abt making money. But those tv shows are not the norm for hollywood bec majority of hollywood is hateful towards conservative and religious tv shows. While tolerant hollywood is obviously uncomfortable w/ more racial diversity and prefers lgbt chars who are majority white. Yet there are more African americans and Latin americans and Asian americans compared to lgbt people. That’s hollywood’s kind of tolerance.
Love it.. I watch at 10:00pm on-line so not interrupted and with no commercials to distract/break the drama mood..
the only way to watch to a soap, on-line, and it is only 36 mins or less run to watch, too..
Awesome promos cannot wait for these episodes.
Wow- I didn’t realize that Marcil was coming back. Awesome. This show has NEVER been better.
I think the hoopla will die down after the Nurses Ball, and the vets brought back will slowly dissapoear. Jack Wagner was only contracted for 10 episodes, it seems like it has been more now. I think that Genie might stick around for a while, if they write her stronger. I would like to see her and Connie/Kate work together and handling Crimson. As for Stefan he was the nicier ofr the Cassaines, so he would not be a surprise return. Would love to see Victor return with Thaoo playing him again. We also got a hint about Lucas Jones, maybe he will come to PC and meet Felix, who I like as a friend for Sabrina, and a litte comic reliet.
GH will stay the best soap on tv as it always has been! Happy 50th Anniversary General Hospital
