THE HUB

For a brief moment, it looked like General Hospital was going to give everyone a chance to breathe. Yeah... that lasted about five minutes. Between Valentin trying to secure his future, Britt Westbourne attempting to reclaim her old life, Rocco's emotional fallout after the Cullum shooting, and a chilling new development in Trina Robinson's storyline, Port Charles once again proved that peace is never on the schedule. While plenty of familiar faces found themselves navigating

General Hospital fans, is it finally happening? For more than two years, the exceptionally talented Tabyana Ali has been stuck playing the resident shoulder-to-cry-on in Port Charles. Ever since her soulmate Spencer Cassadine plunged into the icy River Seine and was presumed dead, Trina Robinson has been tragically languishing on the narrative backburner. But the July 22 episode completely shifted the gears, proving the writers are finally giving our girl something meaty to d

Last week on Beyond The Gates, the Kill Bill story dragged on, Dani projected onto her husband, Nicole found out information about her daughter secondhand, and Ted was in love. Monday During the deposition for Madison’s case, Bill has a medical crisis and is rushed to the hospital. Naomi blames Hayley but hugs her as Hayley tries to smile sinisterly. Emphasis on tries.

Last week on Beyond the Gates was painfully slow, but by the end of it, one storyline may have finally picked up some steam. Monday Thankfully, Kat rejects Tomas’ proposal. Unfortunately, she is still holding on to that robot. Joey asks Randy about Deanna and tells him that he doesn’t trust her. Color me surprised when Randy experiences a flicker of guilt and hesitates to do Joey’s bidding when it involves his best friend’s daughter. Now, if only he would avenge said best fri

If there was ever a week that proved General Hospital thrives when the walls start closing in on everyone, this was it.

If there was one word to describe this week on General Hospital, it would be relentless. Port Charles barely had a moment to breathe as Carly put her own life on the line, Josslyn found herself caught in a deadly shootout, Sidwell proved once again why he's one of the show's most dangerous villains, and the mystery surrounding the WSB only became more complicated. Add in shocking family revelations, emotional reunions and a surprise arrival, and it was another unforgettable w

For longtime General Hospital fans, few couples from the early 2000s remain as beloved as Nikolas Cassadine and Gia Campbell. Their romance helped define an era of the ABC soap, and more than two decades later, fans are still talking about what could have been. The TV Cave recently caught up with former Nikolas Cassadine actor Stephen Martines (formerly credited as Coltin Scott), and the conversation quickly turned into a nostalgic trip through Port Charles. From reflecting o

The daytime soap opera universe is no stranger to strange casting choices. We have seen musicians, reality stars, and even sports pundits wander into fictional towns to deliver overly dramatic lines. But late-night comedian John Oliver entering the world of daytime television? Whew. That is a sentence nobody expected to read. The host of HBO's Last Week Tonight officially announced that he has manifested his way into guest spots on both General Hospital and Days of Our Lives.

Last week on Beyond The Gates, a woman suffered a medical crisis and drifted into an alternate timeline. Vanessa continued her Joey obsession, and Deanna took advice from Doug. A lot happened this week, so let’s discuss. Monday Martin talks with Anita about the primaries, and it bores me. There was no drama surrounding the primaries, no opponent, no real story. Hopefully, that changes before the actual election. Anyway, he wins the primary. Surprise, surprise. Darlene misinte

Port Charles was firing on all cylinders this week, delivering emotional reunions, shocking discoveries, and enough twists to keep everyone guessing.

This week on Beyond The Gates, a life hangs in the balance, another woman faces pressure from her family, and Dani worries that her secret will be revealed.

Valentin Cassadine left Port Charles this week after an emotional farewell with Carly. He's headed to Geneva to seek help from "Z," the mysterious head of the WSB.

This week on Beyond The Gates, the Impaler is revealed, and boy, is it a letdown. The crossover begins, and a tornado strikes. Let’s discuss. The Impaler Reveal The Impaler is… Can you guess? I bet you got it in one. It is Joey’s sister, Heather, like we didn’t see that coming. What a boring reveal to an even more boring story. Someone on social media said that it should have been Kial, and honestly, that would have been more interesting. He could have convinced Nicole to tak
