It’s nice to be able to grow the fan base, especially geared toward the younger generation. As I recall, I began watching General Hospital in 1992 with my mom and my sister.

Haha but that’s another thing.

Remember when Julian called himself Derek Wells?!

General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Keeps Drew Out Of Pentonville- Will A Desperate Carly Sell Out Sonny?

Carly sells out Sonny for Drew
Carly sells out Sonny for Drew

There should be a sign around both Carly and Sonny’s necks as disclaimers. Anyone has the right to know what they’re getting themselves into. And with Carly and Sonny anything can happen. The same type of drama and chaos follows although the former Mr. And Mrs. Corinthos are no longer together as a couple. Instead, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) get to fill those places in their lives.

Well, Carly has been through this with Sonny about a million times. But Drew and Nina are on the outside looking in. Except, the outside is pretty darn close to the heart of the mob violence for Drew. Unfortunately, he’s been roped right in, and entangled in this mess even more than Carly and Sonny themselves.

Carly’s Unintentional Eye For An Eye

General Hospital spoilers tease that Drew Cain fights for his life after being attacked in Pentonville. Carly can’t help to feel the weight of guilt for what happened to Drew. In fact, she blames herself for the fact that he’s locked up in Pentonville in the first place. Carly can’t stand there helpless and allow Drew to go through any more of this. Naturally, she doesn’t want to see him this way. Now she is desperate to help Drew even if that means she goes back on her word.

GH rumors hint that Carly sells out Sonny to protect Drew. Just as Sonny chose Nina over Carly upon his Nixon Falls return, Carly chooses Drew in an unintentional, yet quite fitting eye for an eye situation. Remember, the key word here is unintentional. Still, it’s about time Sonny knows how it feels.

General Hospital New and Spoilers: Can You Identify The GH Stars In This Retro Photo?

General Hospital 90s retro

Many refer to the 1990s as General Hospital’s Golden Age. For me, the 90s is when it all began. I was about 10 years old when Ned, aka Eddie Maine sang “Little Sister” to Julia Barrett’s sister, Brenda (Vanessa Marcil).

60 years of General Hospital makes for plenty of an incredible content to debate which era is superior and why. But I honestly don’t think that’s necessary because not everyone began watching during the same time period. No matter your favorite time in Port Charles, the important thing is that we all continue to have new favorite moments for years to come.

Ok, I guess now I’ll list the actors and character names for the above photo. This General Hospital 90s retro gem includes, Wally Kurth (Ned Ashton), Cheryl Richardson (Jenny Eckart), Sean Kanan (AJ Quartermaine), and Crystal Carson (Julia Barrett)! They were exciting times!

General Hospital Spoilers: Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned! Selina Wu Goes To War And Someone Pays The Price

Selina Wu goes to war
Selina Wu goes to war

Let’s be real here. Not many of us really like to hear the word no as an answer. Some people can’t handle any type of rejection, even if it’s not personal. Oftentimes hearing the word no is taken to heart whether it was meant to be personal or not.

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned

Curtis Ashford had just woken up from a nightmare, except the nightmare didn’t end when he opened his eyes. In fact, that’s when it truly began. Unfortunately, Curtis was shot at the Metro Court. What makes it even worse is that authorities believe the bullet was meant for someone else. Evidently, Curtis wasn’t the intended target. That’s when the PCPD figured that the bullet was meant for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).

After the incident, Selina didn’t waste any time. Curtis didn’t have a moment to collect his thoughts after learning that he’s paralyzed before Selina Wu threw salt in the wound. Immediately, she approached Curtis about The Savoy, and now his professional life is as messed up as most other aspects in his life. Even his marriage to Portia was hanging by a thread.

General Hospital Spoilers: Marshall Oversees Curtis’s Affairs- Will Curtis Fill Marshall In On ALL Of Savoy’s Dealings?

According to General Hospital spoilers, Selina Wu won’t take no for an answer. Selina doesn’t let Marshall stop her no matter what he says. General Hospital recaps recall that Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett) stepped in for Curtis (Donnell Turner) while he takes time to adjust to his new life. For the time being, Marshall is in charge of The Savoy. But just because Marshall spoke on behalf of The Savoy, that doesn’t mean Selina likes it, or that she will even oblige. Selina isn’t about to end her poker game.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Selina Wu goes to war with a new enemy. Marshall isn’t the only one who told Selina she couldn’t do what she wants to do. She went to Sonny, thinking he’d have her back. But when he didn’t, her vibe suddenly changed. Now her mere presence could freeze Arendelle if Elsa ever needed help.

It looks like Selina has reason to use her power around Port Charles. Who will pay the price?

Not too long ago, Ava Jerome (Maura West) came to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for help. Luckily for her she happens to be the mother of Sonny’s daughter, Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola). Like all of Sonny’s baby mama’s, he respects and honors their position in his life, regardless of whether or not he’s still with them romantically.

When Sonny agreed to help Ava, that ultimately opened the door to a floodgate of various vulnerabilities. Now he finds himself in the middle of a mob situation. And just like old times, Port Charles mobster Sonny needs Carly (Laura Wright) by his side.

According to GH spoilers, Sonny has a major setback when Cyrus Renault’s plan takes effect. Naturally, Carly agreed to help Sonny, but under one condition. She said that she’d help just so long as harm wouldn’t come Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) way.

Now, Drew’s life hangs in the balance and Carly needs someone to blame. She falls for Cyrus’s trap, hook, line, and sinker. Because now that Carly blames Sonny for Drew’s attack, the strength of their bond weakens Sonny’s chances. Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) has Sonny right where he wants him.

Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is being targeted and terrorized by an unknown enemy. After months of searching for answers while living in fear, Anna is closer to closure than she realizes. As it turns out, Valentin made an alarming discovery with his good friend Nina Reeves’s (Cynthia Watros) help.

To their dismay, the security footage showed Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) entering into Anna’s suite. Naturally, Valentin is beside himself after what Nina pulled up on the screen. And as the good friend Nina is, she continues to help Valentin by keeping Anna and even Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) from the truth. Or, the truth as Nina and Valentin see it.

General Hospital Spoilers: Jake’s Drawings Concern Franco

Are Jake and Charlotte Under Victor’s Control?

According to the latest GH spoilers and rumors, Valentin could be dead wrong about his daughter. Just because they saw her enter the room, doesn’t mean that she did all those things to Anna and her belongings.

Moreover, fans have noticed that Charlotte and Jake Webber have been spending more and more time together. While it looks like Charlotte is jealous that Anna will take Papa’s love and affection, sharp-as-a-tac fans recall that Jake was kidnapped by Helena Cassadine and seemingly brainwashed. Then, the storyline fell off and never developed. It might be too obvious for Charlotte to be the culprit. Instead, recent GH rumors speculate that Jake may have something to do with it. Is it possible that the effects of Helena’s programming has come out in Jake?

General Hospital Spoilers: Valentin Breaks Things Off With Anna

Valentin breaks up with Anna

Anna and Valentin face some more turmoil just as the dust began to settle in their romantic relationship. Over the years, chasing Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) became a way of life for Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

Eventually, the chase became the ultimate catch when Anna finally took the bait. And that’s meant in the most positive light as Anna realized that she loves Valentin Cassadine. Finally, Valentin landed his lady love. Despite all of the WSB and Cassadine, and mob drama, Valentin and Anna remained strong for themselves and one another. But things started to fall out of place for this tragic couple when Valentin’s secrets began to drop one by one.

Valentin breaks up with Anna Charlotte Cassadine

According to General Hospital spoilers, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) continues to help Valentin cover up what they think Charlotte has done. His daughter Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) seems like a sweet, yet troubled girl. Understandably, as Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) haven’t been the most present parents for one reason or another.

Whether it’s by choice or terrible circumstance, Charlotte has been tossed around to any and every extended family member. She showed troubling tendencies from an early age, and on a few occasions. Immediately, her behavior became scrutinized and compared her behavior to her grandmother’s. Yes, the dark Queen herself, Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers).

As a result of all the chaos, Valentin breaks up with Anna for her own good. Despite his love for her, he has to let her go. In fact, it’s because of Valentin’s love for Anna that he breaks things off. GH spoilers and rumors tease that the risk is just too high, and he’s not willing to take it.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Maurice Benard Addresses Billy Miller, His Emotional Message To Fans

Maurice Benard on Billy Miller and mental health
Maurice Benard On Billy Miller and Mental Health

What can I say, this has been a tough year for the General Hospital family. But this week has really done a number on fans and the entire industry. Billy Miller was a talented, genuine soul who lit up not just the screen, but the whole room.

As tributes for Billy Miller continue to pour in, Maurice Benard’s outreach contains a powerful message. Ultimately, mental health awareness is a way of life for the three-time Daytime Emmy winner. While many tributes displayed the most genuine love and support, Maurice Benard takes things to a more serious level, and touches on the issue at hand.

Maurice Benard On Billy Miller and Mental Health

Benard’s YouTube series, State of Mind, allows for open dialogue about life and mental health. As a bi-polar disorder sufferer, Miller’s death hit very close to home for General Hospital’s leading man. According to General Hospital news reports, Benard shared an Instagram post that brings awareness to mental health and suicide. Check out his IG post below!

Since the pandemic I have been speaking out on Suicide quite a lot, in the beginning, I was hesitant, I didn’t know how people would handle it. But it’s been very encouraging so I have not stopped talking about it!!! It’s hard to really understand Mental illness unless you have experienced the depths of pain that comes with it. This is a @mbstateofmind i did about two months ago but there’s many. And I promise you there will be many many more to come if you know anyone who is going through any kind of darkness, chaos, pain. Just know, all you can do is give them love, patience, understanding, and hopefully Professional help if they agree. And unfortunately, if someone doesn’t want to be on this earth anymore, there’s only so much we can do just remember, it’s not your fault never blame yourself

to subscribe to @mbstateofmind link in bio

if you’re feeling in any kind of way, like life is not worth living for don’t think twice to talk to someone take it from the most fragile person in the world you can get through it. And life has a way of rewarding you.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina’s Drowning In Lies And Sonny Watches Her Sink- Nina Lies And Loses Sonny

Nina lies and loses Sonny
Nina lies and loses Sonny

What is the one thing Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) hates the most? Other than grocery store pasta sauce, Sonny hates lies above all. Because with lies there is betray. And where there is betrayals there’s broken trust.

Rarely, Sonny will give someone another chance after they’ve broken his trust. Despite the fact that he stands firmly behind honestly and loyalty, Sonny finds himself giving out second chances to those who have betrayed him. For starters there’s Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). Fans still can’t believe that he was so easy on her after he figured out that she kept him captive and let his wife and family think he’s dead.

Moreover, he claimed to be in love with her on top of it all! Like, what?! ????????‍♀️ Additionally, Sonny’s forgiven his son Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), and even Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) after wearing the wire. Plus, there’s more where that came from. Point being that, Sonny may talk a big game, but he does give people second chances. Even third.

Nina Lies (Again) and Loses Sonny (For Good)

According to recent GH spoilers, Nina might need a millionth chance with Sonny after she tacks on yet another lie. One of my favorite lyrics from a song states, “all the walls have ears my darling, and all bad things get known. And I know about you.” That song is called, “I Know About You,” by Dashboard Confessional.

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Nina’s lies will eventually come to light and reach Sonny’s ears. Expectedly, GH rumors tease that Sonny doesn’t take too well to Nina withholding information regarding his friend Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). In addition, what she did to Carly and Drew is unthinkable.

Can you help us think of all the ways that Nina has betrayed Sonny throughout their “relationship”?
