What’s that phrase, “see something, say something,”? Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) isn’t the type to keep quiet in a library let alone a crisis. Anytime she smells bullshit Maxie calls it out as it’s not her M.O. to let things slide. A girl after my own heart.
GH recaps recall that Sasha has already warned Cody that Felicia is on his tail. Time is running out before his family knows the truth. Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) trusted only a few close friends with his secret, and thus far thrive kept their work to him. For the most part, the fact that Cody is Max Scorpio son remains privileged knowledge among very few. According to General Hospital spoilers, Cody can’t get this one past the skillful Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner).
Moreover, Maxie senses something is a skew when talking to Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson). It’s become apparent that things between Sasha and Cody are a little strange not necessarily in a bad way, but something has shifted and Maxie has noticed the change. GH previews indicate that Maxie grills Sasha about Cody. Can Sasha navigate around Maxie’s 20 questions, or will she spill the tea on his paternity OR her feelings for Cody?!

Despite the smiles, York knows the risks that come along with everything from the illness to the treatment itself. “I’ll probably lose my hair, and that’s OK,” he told the outlet. “And, you know, there’s just all kinds of issues. I could, I could pass away. I mean, maybe not from the chemo, but when the transplant starts.”
First, I want to start off by asking that we all keep John J. York, aka our beloved Mac Scorpio in our prayers and healing thoughts. General Hospital’s John J. York has a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. His positive outlook and upbeat personality is a gift to himself as well as those who know and follow him. Additionally, York exhibits great strength as he shares with the world of his current medical condition.
Previously, GH Blog shared the news that John J. York, also known as GH’s Mac Scorpio, announced that he’d be taking a hiatus from the ABC daytime drama. Then, shortly after he gave fans something to think about, York returned to social media for the details. That’s when the iconic actor revealed that he was told he has 3-5 years to live. According to General Hospital news and spoilers, his diagnosis lead to a bone marrow search with Be A Match.
Fast forward and York has come forward with a health update. Reportedly, the stem cell transplant is a 100 day process. According to General Hospital news reports, York tells TV Insider the details of what he faces in the coming weeks. He shares, “The first week is an 8-day process of heavy-duty chemo, where I’ll probably lose my hair, and that’s OK,” he told the outlet. “And, you know, there’s just all kinds of issues. I could, I could pass away. I mean, maybe not from the chemo, but when the transplant starts. So after the eight days of these different chemo treatments that they’re doing, they’re basically wiping my body of what I’ve been living with in terms of my blood and DNA and all this stuff for my entire life. They’re wiping that clean and then they’re gonna put new stuff in me from the donor. And that’s going to be the new me.”
John J York Takes His Stem Cell Treatment One Day At A Time
Treatment takes place everyday unless the doctors see positive results from early on. He admits, “that would be wonderful. Then they may say, ‘You don’t have to come in tomorrow, come in the next day. And then we’ll test after that.’ That goes on for 100 days, and I would say the first probably 20 days [after the transplant] are the crucial days,” is what York told news outlet TV Insider.
The 22 year GH actor continued to describe his upcoming challenges with a positive and bright outlook. However, the long, demanding process can take its toll, but York displays the strength to stay the course. Unfortunately, the treatment doesn’t cease after the 100 days. Instead, he faces more testing. Those tests include biopsy and bone marrow aspiration. “I thought I was done doing bone marrow biopsies, but I still have like five bone marrow biopsies out there. Those are just not my favorite things in the world to do,” the actor admitted. For now, he’s taking things “one day at a time.”
General Hospital Blog continues to keep John J. York in our prayers as he faces these health challenges. His smiling face is enough to carry many through their bad days. Let’s shine our smiles on John to bright his too!
Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner) is ready for a change. Clearly, leads a fulfilling life in Port Charles. Despite the good ole days of WSB adventures, romantic entanglements, and rescue missions, Felicia longs for something more. Or, maybe it’s not more that she hopes to find. Perhaps she seeks something different.
Aside from her impressive career wrap sheet, Felicia has been reflecting on her family life. While there will always be some other adventure to catch, Felicia and Mac’s grandkids only grow up once in a lifetime. The day to day has Felicia grateful for her impressive career, her children and grandchildren, and of course, Mac. Two major life events had a strong impact on Felicia’s at of life. Sadly, Felicia missed much of her daughter’s lives and wasn’t present for their most precious moments. And how she feels about what happened to Georgie never seems to ease up.
Moreover, Felicia and Mac Scorpio (John J. York) previously mentioned that they don’t have kids together. Although he considers Maxie, Georgie, and Robin as his own, the fact remains that Mac doesn’t know that he has a biological child and that it’s Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Grandparenthood comes so naturally to them both… as of becoming grandparents was their destiny.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Felicia finds fulfillment in working as a Patient Advocate at General Hospital. As a result of her new career path, Felicia is able to connect with patients while advocating on their behalf. Needless to say, but it’s understandable that someone in that position is likely to develop deep friendships and bonds. Oddly, GH rumors hint that the former WSB Agent, Felicia Jones Scorpio, gets to know Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) and her son Ace (Jay and Joey Clay) when he’s brought to the hospital with a medical issue.
Previously, GH rumors claimed that Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Linstrom) and Heather Webber are not actually Esme’s biological parents. Instead, many GH fans believe that Esme was mostly likely kidnapped by Ryan, Heather, or both at some point. Put that together with Soap Opera logic and math that isn’t mathing (most will understand the joke), and we just might have a story about Esme’s REAL biological parents.
Will Felicia’s new career path lead her and Mac down an unexpected road? It’s only natural that Felicia would connect with Esme and Ace if she’s assigned as his Patient Advocate. After all, the instinctive bond between a mother and her children/grandchildren is undeniable.
Are Felicia and Mac Esme’s biological parents?? As for Mac, will he learn that he has not one child, but two?!

Nina Reeves only thinks she can handle Sonny’s life because she’s never really been out through it. Unlike Carly, Nina’s recent scare was just that. A scare. In fact, it wasn’t even real because Sonny set up the Feds.
As golden as his plan was, the PCPD found holes in the story. Things just don’t add up in terms of the Feds and the bogus charges. According to GH spoilers, Detective Chase (Josh Swickard) is on the case. After his and Dante Falconeri’s (Dominic Zamprogna) conversation, they realized that there’s more to the story.
Chase and Dante Investigate Sonny
General Hospital spoilers indicate that Chase heads up this side investigation. Sonny’s son Dante agrees that something’s off, but will he agree to keep digging? Obviously, Dante supports his father and that was made crystal clear throughout these last couple of episodes. So how will he handle it if he and Chase stumble upon some incriminating evidence?
If Chase and Dante go poking around and find something, what will they do? Will Dante withhold evidence against his father? Cop or not, his loyalties lie in his father, not the PCPD. Do you think Sonny Corinthos is untouchable?
Is Mac Scorpio leaving GH? John J. York explains… So much excitement and drama surrounds the people of Port Charles.

When it comes to the vet actors, their characters have been through the wringer for years and years. Thankfully, characters like Mac Scorpio (John J. York) and his wife Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner) have stuck around to endure it all of these years!
Currently, Mac Scorpio has a potentially prominent storyline. Cody Bell waltzed into Mac’s life and everything is about to change.

There’s never a dull moment in Port Charles. Often times, drama has to pass through the PCPD at some point or another. Cody freaks out on Mac! …Gladys Corbin (Bonnie’s Burroughs) have proven to be a master manipulator. She’s got Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and many others right where she wants them but in different ways.
On one hand, Gladys has the media and other outsiders fooled as they believe that Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) has had another psychotic break. On the other hand, she also has Cody right where she wants him. However, she has Cody cornered. He doesn’t believe Gladys for one second that Sasha has naturally fallen into this dark place. Deep down, he knows Sasha’s mother-in-law from Hell has a hand or two in this.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Gladys gets the best of Cody. She’s pushed him to the edge as he fights to save Sasha. Meanwhile, the latest GH previews indicate that Cody freaks out on Mac. Gladys Corbin’s restraining order against Cody further prevents him from getting close enough to rescue Sasha. Evidently, Gladys continues to manipulate those around her, making Sasha look crazy, and Cody look violent.
Over at the PCPD, Mac Scorpio ( questions Cody. Do you think Mac will believe him?
