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!
There’s a phrase that I’ve kept close in my head and heart ever since hearing it. The line is written by a singer/songwriter/musician named Dallas Green. “The lonely life of a writer,” is a line from his band, City and Colour. Everything about those five words resonate in a way that non-writers may not normally understand. Evidently, expression through songwriting can be triggering. Just ask Ned. I mean Eddie, er, no, Ned. Man, I don’t know!
Around Port Charles, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) navigates through life as chaos finds her at every turn. From her job at Deception, to her relationship with Harrison Chase, BLQ has been busy. Additionally, she deals with her father’s identity crisis after he woke up as Eddie Maine.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors reveal that Eddie Maine has flashbacks as Ned! Recently, BLQ focuses on her career as a music manager. Amidst the daily drama, Brook Lynn stays true to her passion, music. While BLQ and her dad Ned butted heads about ELQ, she and Eddie work collaboratively as members of the music industry.
GH spoilers tease that Eddie’s songwriting process triggers Ned’s memories. But that’s not all. Since Eddie and BLQ double down to finish his song, she just might be there to witness a quick glimpse of her dad, Ned. According to recent GH rumors, Eddie Maine has flashbacks as Ned while he and Brook Lynn try to finish his song. Will he remember what he wanted to tell Drew before he fell?
I am big on music, especially lyrics. As a writer, it’s second nature for me to listen closely and analyze every line, down to each and every lyric. Because what’s created for, or heard in song has a unique way of guiding us through our journey. Have you ever heard a song or a certain part of it and was instantly brought back to a specific place and time in your mind? Well, music has some powerful attributes, including helping people in a coma find their way to consciousness. So why wouldn’t it trigger memories of another life? That is, if you have an alter ego! ????
Apparently, Eddie Maine (Wally Kurth) is quite the charmer! Back in the 1990s he charmed all the ladies, or, groupies as he likes to call his fans. But Eddie Maine hung up his act and Ned Quartermaine (Ashton) went full business mode. ELQ was his passion now. So why did he suddenly turn into Eddie?!
Olivia Quartermaine was beside herself when her husband Ned (Wally Kurth) woke up a new man. Well, new to her because she didn’t know Eddie Maine back in the 1990s. Her husband and his rockstar alter ego couldn’t be more different from the other. Because of this, Olivia felt like she lost her husband for good. But now that Eddie has let his guard down a bit, General Hospital spoilers tease that Olivia falls for Eddie.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Eddie is here to stay. Now that Olivia is warming up to Eddie, he may have no reason to return as Ned. Tracy seems to be the only one who is dead against Eddie’s existence. Besides, who wants the pressures of ELQ and your mother breathing and barking orders down your back? Certainly not Ned. And ever more certainly, not Eddie Maine.
It’s no secret that the 1990s made a comeback in the 2020s. From fashion to music, pieces of a millennial’s golden era made its way back into our culture. Television reboots and movie remakes also drudge up the 90s. In fact, even the soap opera genre wants the nostalgia.
General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that Rena Sofer returns to GH as Lois Cerullo. As Ned’s ex-wife and mother to their daughter, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), Lois has many reasons to return to Port Charles. In addition, her dear friend Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) always has time for Lois. Despite his hectic life with kids, Carly, Nina, and of course his enemies, Sonny is always grateful to see Lois.
According to the latest GH news, Rena Sofer disclosed that she’s already taped her first scenes. Previously, GH Blog shared reports that Sofer’s contract at The Bold and The Beautiful expired in May of last year. And as predicted, she’s headed straight to General Hospital!
According to GH spoilers and rumors, Lois shows up to help deal with Ned/Eddie. However, who says that she thinks Ned should be Ned? Will she help bring Ned back or encourage Eddie to stay true to himself? Besides, GH spoilers tease that Llivia is falling for Eddie… maybe Ned is never coming back!
Look for Rena Sofer’s return debut as Lois hits Port Charles this coming October! Who is ready for her return?
GH vet hints at a Steve Burton return! Double-duty soap star Wall Kurth weighs in on the most talked about General Hospital topic of current times. Kurth knows all about working on two soap operas at once, so he has some credible insight on the situation. We might know him as Ned Ashton Quartermaine, but there’s another network that claims Kurth as well. Before there was Ned, Wally started as Justin Kiriakis on NBC’s Days Of Our Lives.
Wally Kurth Weighs In On Steve Burton
According to the latest General Hospital news, Wally Kurth shared some insight on today’s most talked about topic. As previously mentioned, Kurth currently works for ABC’s General Hospital, as well as Peacock’s Days Of Our Lives. Because of his experience, working on both soaps, he had a little something to add to a recent conversation.
In a podcast published to social media platforms, GH news and spoilers reports confirm that Kurth weighed in on the perpetual curiosity of Steve Burton’s aka Jason Morgan’s fans. Is he or isn’t he? Evidently, despite Burtons current contract status with DOOL, co-star Kurth said, “he’ll be back on the show (General Hospital) soon.”
Although Burton remains under contract, GH spoilers and news reports confirm that the iconic mob enforcer signed a one year contract which will be up in March of 2024. So far it’s six months down and six to go before his contract with Peacock’s Days.
Despite his 2021 exit, many argue that ABC’s General Hospital is Steve Burton‘s home. Compromising his beliefs wasn’t something he was about to do to keep his job. However, the mandate has been lifted. Therefore., that being said, along with thirty years as Jason Morgan under his belt, fans hold out hope he will return to GH.
What do you think? Is Wally Kurth’s prediction right?
…So many to choose from but we damn only pick ONE! Actually, YOU cannot pick one!! We get to choose three actors who knocked it out of the park this week.

Eddie Maine gets l@id?! After a couple months of resisting and denying Eddie’s truth, Olivia surrenders. She and her husband have reached an understanding. Finally, the animosity has been put aside for respect and compassion.
Things seem to be going smoothly for Olivia and Ned now that they’ve found common ground. Instead of backward steps, they’ve made some progress. GH recaps recall that Eddie Maine isn’t too keen on Ned Quartermaine’s (Wally Kurth) wife. He even called Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) uptight when talking to Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). But now that they’ve sort of agreed to respect each others feelings, Olivia doesn’t seem so bad in Eddie’s eyes.
Eddie Maine Gets L@id?!
According to GH spoilers, Olivia won’t give up on husband, no matter who he is. As he and Olivia spend time together, GH rumors tease they grow closer. Now that she have him some breathing room, Eddie can get to know the real Olivia. Currently, the only version he sees is the wound up, naggy woman who wants him to be someone he’s not. But since Olivia has stopped resisting her husbands new identity, GH rumors tease that one thing leads to another and Eddie and Olivia sleep together.
General Hospital star Wally Kurth attends The Eras Tour! I can’t believe it, but my two worlds have collided! It’s official, General Hospital and Taylor Swift have become one. Well, sort of.
According to General Hospital spoilers, GH’s Wally Kurth lives up to his character’s love for music. Ned Quartermaine, a.k.a. Eddie Maine is a rocker through and through, and Wally is too!

According to spoilers, Wally Kurth attends The Eras Tour with wife, Debra. The iconic daytime tv star reveals he’s a Swiftie! As a Swifty myself, I attended the arrows tour on June tent in Detroit Michigan. It was my second time seeing Miss Swift in concert. Previously, in 2018, I attended her Reputation Stadium Tour. It was without a doubt an incredible show. However, the record-breaking, Earth-quake igniting, Taylor Swift, outdid herself with this years, The Eras Tour.
Tracy sends Ned to Ferncliff?! It’s difficult to tell if Ned Ashton Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) genuinely believes he’s his 1990s rockstar persona, Eddie Maine, or if it’s a dirty scheme. As much a possibility it is for this to be all a lie, it’s hard to believe it. Ned had Nina right where he wanted her, and now dropped it cold turkey. Either he has something up his sleeve, or his sleeve rice memory is genuine.
General Hospital recaps recall Ned had discovered that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) was the one who turned Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. And just as he was about to spill the tea, he himself took a nasty spill. As a result, Ned’s memory now only fixated on the 1990s when he was a rockstar. Now, Eddie Maine navigates Ned’s life and Nina gets off scott free.
Meanwhile, his wife Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero), daughter Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), his son, little Leo (Easton Rocket), and mother Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), deal with the fallout. According to GH spoilers and previews Tracy has had enough. She tells Olivia that it’s time to have Ned committed. If Tracy sends Ned to Ferncliff, will Sasha gain an ally? Or will Olivia put a stop to the whole thing?
Wally Kurth reveals truth behind Ned’s MetroCourt pool plunge! It’s a strange time for a certain Port Charles family. Surely, a time reminiscent of 90s vibes and good times. Well, not everyone reflects on those times as good, but Eddie Maine sure does.
Speaking of Eddie Maine, General Hospital recaps revisit how the 1990s rock legend recently re-emerged. In an unfortunate accident, Ned took a spill at the MetroCourt pool, leaving his memory severely impaired. Allegedly, he no longer remembers his true identity. Only the portion of his life when he was a musician. Back in the 90s, Ned Ashton expressed himself as the edgy, Eddie Maine, becoming a huge rock star. Decades later, Eddie is back and ready to rock!
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the truth behind Ned’s fall. Ever since the he woke up from the fall, Ned hasn’t been himself. He’s been living as an alter ego since June, rehashing her rockstar persona. However, GH fans raise questions. Apparently, Ned only remembers himself as Eddie. This turn of events leaves fans frustrated, since hope of finally bailing Nina is on the back burner again.
According to GH previews, Ned had the dirt on Nina. He was headed to spill the tea to Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) when Ned’s MetroCourt pool plunge changed everything. When it comes to the fall, GH fans don’t know what to believe. Did the pool plunge cost Ned his family and become Nina’s get-out-of-jail-free card? Or is he faking? Wally Kurth has the answers.
According to GH news and spoilers, Wally revealed the truth behind Ned’s MetroCourt pool plunge. He admitted that Hollywood stunt double Anthony Molinari stepped in for the actual fall. Reportedly, Molinari has worked as a stunt double Hollywood big timers, George Clooney, Mark Ruffalo, and Matt Damon.
“He did it all in one take,” Kurth revealed. “He was really good. I did the towel trip and I did a forward fall onto a mat. And then when Anthony came out, he actually said the line, the same line that I had just said, and then he did the fall onto the deck and rolling into the pool, and then he laid there for a while, and then when you saw it pick up, it was me, obviously, laying in the water when they turned me over.
“It was really fun to get in the water with a suit on!” he added. “It was a nice, warm water. And I don’t get to do very many stunts, so I loved it! I loved having to take a fall onto a mat and all that stuff.”
Now that we know the behind-the-scenes, details of Ned’s fall, what we really want to know is if he’s faking amnesia or if he’s truly Eddie, Maine?
