General Hospital 2024 Cast Portraits: Maurice Benard/Chad Duell Photos

June 04, 2024

Credit: ABC (5)

Don’t worry, your insurance totally covers a peek at the brand-new 2024 collection of General Hospital cast portraits that you’ll find below. Be advised, though, not every actor has had a new shot released yet, so if you don’t see your favorite, it’s not your eyes — it’s just that their pics will be added as soon as they drop.

Role Call
Prepare to feast your eyes on the official ABC portraits of the cast of General Hospital: solo shots, couple pics and, as you can see, some pretty amazing group photos, too. First, though, let’s suss out just who’s who…
Maurice Benard…
… plays Sonny Corinthos, the dimpled don who can impregnate a woman by doing no more than flash a smoldering gaze like… Ack! Like this one! Look away before it’s too late! Look away!
Maurice Benard Again…
… cranking up the heat on Sonny’s smoldering gaze.
Hello, Maurice Benard…
… now with more pepper in Sonny’s hair than salt.
And Finally, Maurice Benard…
… serving up a reminder that Sonny is always “one to watch.” Get it?
Did We Say ‘Finally’?
Because that was not the last picture — surprise! Here’s Benard with a marginally different T-shirt!
Never Enough of Maurice Benard
As if we’re ever done with Benard or Sonny — or his intensity! No wonder he/they has/have been top dog in Port Charles for decades!
Laura Wright…
… is Carly, Sonny’s mercurial ex-moll, who can go from “till death do us part” to “if looks could kill” faster than you can read this caption. And that’s even if you’re a mega fast reader.
Laura Wright Again…
… doing Carly’s best “Who, me?” expression.
Laura Wright Once More…
… flashing a warm smile that says, “Eh, who needs the Metro Court, anyway?”
Laura Wright…
… never fails to turn heads. In this case, her own. But you know what we mean.
Why, It’s Laura Wright…
… competing with the sun to determine which of them is more radiant.
Whad’ya Know, It’s Laura Wright!
She’s in black, yes, but don’t you dare call Carly basic.
Cool and Composed Laura Wright
This year, Wright’s playing it a bit cooler and we’re just sitting back and enjoying the breeze!
Steve Burton…
… has stepped back into Jason Morgan’s black T-shirt and leather jacket, and he hasn’t missed a beat!
Adam J. Harrington…
… surprised us all when he turned out to be Jagger Cates, but the real shock came when his character decided to go by his real name, John!
Dominic Zamprogna…
… brings to life Dante Falconeri, the PCPD detective who is… Oh, awkward. He’s the firstborn of the city’s most notorious mobster. Let’s focus on Mom instead, shall we? Next picture…
Oops! Dominic Zamprogna Again!
But we really are heading toward the mother lode. Honest, we are.
Finn Carr…
… has a lot to deal with as Rocco Falconeri, who’s had to grow up far too long without his mom. But while Lulu may be in a coma, dad Dante is determined to be there for his son.
Jane Elliot…
… taught us long ago that Tracy Quartermaine was a force to be reckoned with, and no matter how many times she’s stepped back from the show and returned, it’s a lesson we’ll always remember!
Lisa LoCicero…
… portrays Olivia Quartermaine, the Bensonhurst babe who married so far up, she now lives in her Richie Rich husband Ned’s Monica’s mansion.
Lisa LoCicero’s Back
Now that is the look of a woman who’s taken to playing a Quartermaine!
Wally Kurth…
… is money, as the kids would say, as Ned Quartermaine, the heir apparent to grandfather Edward’s fortune — and his testiness. Good luck with that, buddy!
Wally Kurth Again…
… striking a pose that lets the world know that Ned is an ELQ MVP.
Third Time’s the Charm for Wally Kurth
At least, that’s the impression we’re getting from how happy he’s looking!
Easton Rocket Sweda…
… is Leo Quartermaine, Olivia’s son with late mobster Julian Jerome and Ned’s adopted son.
Amanda Setton…
… builds a bridge to Brook Lynn Quartermaine, the feistiest firebrand this side of her mama, the much-missed Lois Cerullo.
Amanda Setton Again…
… issuing a reminder that Brook Lynn doesn’t have to wear bright hues to be a colorful character.
Amanda Setton Once More…
… serving glam to the nth. Maybe even whatever comes after the nth.
We Get It Now, Amanda Setton…
… and “it” is glam to the oth. Not the nth but the oth. Thank you for your and Brook Lynn’s help in clearing up this matter.
Amanda Setton’s Happier Than Ever
And why not, considering Brook Lynn is a newlywed who’s mom is now closer than a phone call away. Speaking of whom…
Rena Sofer Is Back!
And we couldn’t be happier to have her bring Lois Cerullo, her nails and her accent to Port Charles once again.
Chad Duell…
… walks mile after mile in the shoes of Michael Corinthos, the corporate-minded offspring of Carly and A.J. Quartermaine Sonny. Never mind that scratch-out; those in the family or its “business” know better than to discuss it.
Chad Duell Again…
… defying Michael’s reputation as a buttoned-up type by altogether skipping that top button. That’ll show us!
Chad Duell’s Getting Formal
Sure, the shirt’s still not buttoned, but adding a jacket suddenly changes Duell’s whole look!
Katelyn MacMullen…
… is Michael’s wife Willow, a sweet-hearted former schoolteacher who learns every day that in a town like Port Charles, it’s easy to get it wrong when you’re trying to do right.
Katelyn MacMullen Again…
… offering us the sweet smile that’s going to make Willow such a great nurse.
Katelyn MacMullen Once More…
… looking for all the world like the calm before the storm.
For an Encore, It’s Katelyn MacMullen…
… demonstrating how Willow takes news that’s best received sitting down. There’s a lot of that kind in Port Charles!
But Wait, There’s More Katelyn MacMullen…
… giving us a hint of what All My Children’s Jenny Gardner might have been like, had she survived that awful jet-ski incident.
Katelyn MacMullen Is Glowing…
… and so is her dress! Shorter hair and a shimmer to her gown leave MacMullen’s looking amazing!
Viron Weaver…
… plays Wiley Corinthos, Michael’s son with the late Nelle Benson and, for a time, the kid most likely to be the potato in a game of parental hot potato.
Inga Cadranel…
… played Harmony Miller, Willow’s late mother who, even after leaving the cult in which she raised her daughter, was still keeping plenty of secrets… like that she wasn’t actually Willow’s mom.
Eden McCoy…
… rocks as Carly’s chip off the ol’ block, Josslyn Jacks, a Ms. Popularity with enough fire in her to reduce to cinders anyone crazy enough to hurt her nearest and dearest. While maintaining a 4.0 GPA, we might add.
Eden McCoy Again…
… serving the side-eye that has reduced most of Joss’ detractors to rubble. (We love Joss, and we’re even feeling sorta rubble-ized!)
And Even More Eden McCoy!
We’ve watched her and Josslyn grow up before our eyes. And speaking of which, she’s clearly graduated from side-eye to full-on stare-down!
Evan Hofer…
… is Dex Heller, the ab-fabulous mystery man whose first step in Port Charles was onto a minefield that is as unlikely to leave him unscathed as he himself is to wear a shirt. (Translation: not very.)
And More Evan Hofer
Clearly, he’s gotten the shirt thing down, though, as he’s graduated from a polo to a full-on button-down!
Cynthia Watros…
… here demonstrates the Home Alone OMG expression that the audience so often wears as they watch Nina Reeves make one questionable choice after another.
Cynthia Watros Times Two…
… keeping Nina chill even as her storyline gets hotter, hotter, hottest.
Cynthia Watros Again…
… missing the scarlet letter “A” that Carly would like to affix to Nina’s blouse for sleeping with Sonny.
Hey There, Cynthia Watros…
… back to show off the “Whatevs” expression that Nina reserves for her face-offs with Carly.
Cynthia Watros Is Back…
… and she’s traded her “Whatevs” expression for the look of contempt she uses with Carly now!
Nancy Lee Grahn…
… is the real-life alter ego of Alexis Davis, a former attorney and occasional hot mess who knows the law inside and out. As in, she hasn’t just represented criminals, she’s served time herself.
Nancy Lee Grahn Again…
… turning out the ultra-serious look that lets us know that Alexis means business. And not the funny kind, dang it!
Nancy Lee Grahn Is Back…
and so is Alexis’ legal license! No wonder Grahn’s looking ready for a day in court.
Kelly Monaco…
… plays Alexis’ oldest daughter, Sam McCall, P.I., mother and all-around action figure. She’s kinda like Nancy Drew with a better right hook and edgier wardrobe.
Kelly Monaco Redux…
… this time, with an expression that asks whether we are really questioning the last caption. Um, no. No, ma’am. Never.
Kelly Monaco, Part Three…
… serving up more than her share of side-eye, this time — which of course isn’t something Sam would ever know anything about!
Asher Antonzyn…
… plays Danny Morgan who longs to follow in dad Jason’s footsteps — no matter what mom Sam has to say about it!
Kate Mansi…
… puts a lot of heart into Kristina Davis, a young woman with as complicated a background as they come. But hey, there are worse things than having a Mob boss like Sonny and a lawyer like Alexis as your parents.
Jacqueline Grace Lopez…
… won us over as the uber-talented singer Blaze (aka Alison Rogers) almost as easily as she won Kristina’s heart.
Eva LaRue..
… had us worried a bit when Natalia Rogers-Ramirez first found out her daughter was dating Kristina. But since Mom started making amends, we couldn’t be more delighted to see LaRue in the cast photos!
Cameron Mathison…
… brings back to life Drew Cain, the “late” Jason Morgan’s “late” brother. Until an accident and some serious plastic surgery rearranged Drew’s face, he shared not only his twin’s taste in love interests but his handsome mug, too.
Cameron Mathison Again…
… reminding us that Drew’s always looking for stubble. Er, trouble.
Cameron Mathison Once More…
… after what was apparently not a metaphorical close shave.
Cameron Mathison Returns…
… and so, clearly, does the stubble. And with that T-shirt, it’s definitely working!
Leslie Charleson…
… has to have seen it all in her years as Monica Quartermaine. The actress is the soap’s longest-serving cast member.
Rebecca Herbst…
… is Elizabeth Webber, the nurse you most want to administer your shots, if only because she can distract you with tales from her bat-[bleep]-crazy life. Pro tip: Ask her about the time she married a serial killer whose homicidal tendencies were contained in a brain tumor.
Rebecca Herbst Again…
… demonstrating Liz’s preferred method for trying, always trying, to leave her troubled past behind her. Don’t turn around, whatever you do!
Rebecca Herbst Once More…
… working the plucky expression that has seen Liz through the toughest of times.
And Once More With Feeling, Rebecca Herbst…
… looking not at all like a Maroon 5 but a Maroon 10.
Rebecca Herbst Is Back…
… in black! Maybe she’s wearing it in solidarity with Jason, who never sports any other color?
Hudson West…
… plays Jake Webber, who’s lost more fathers and father figures than most people could imagine! No wonder Liz and Jason’s son had a hard time celebrating dear old Dad’s return.
William Lipton…
… makes it a point — see what we did there? — to enliven any scene as Cameron Webber, the teenage dream whose life has been, not to put too fine a point on it, a nightmare.
Michael Easton…
… scrubs in as Dr. Hamilton Finn — Finn to his friends. Also Finn to pretty much everyone else. No one wants to compete with the musical to be called Hamilton anymore.
And More Michael Easton..
… looking serious as a heart attack. Luckily, that’s something the good doctor Finn can treat!
Jophielle Love…
… threatens us daily with cuteness overload as Violet Barnes, Finn’s daughter with… Say, where is Hayden, anyway? By the time you read this, we may already be finding out.
Kristen Vaganos…
… plays Molly Lansing, the future RBG who longs to follow in mom Alexis’ footsteps — including having a kid of her own!
Tajh Bellow…
… is Molly’s significant other, TJ Ashford, possessor of what is arguably the winningest smile in Port Charles. Possibly even all of New York; we haven’t checked — yet.
Tajh Bellow Again…
… that smile still utterly winning again.
Tajh Bellow Once More…
… demonstrating the joy TJ felt at the prospect of starting a family with Molly.
Did Someone Say Tajh Bellow…
… because here he is again. We may have caught him mid-shirt-change, though. By all means, don’t let us stop you!
Vernee Watson…
… nabbed two Daytime Emmys for her portrayal of Curtis’ scene-stealing Aunt Stella Henry. She tells it like it is whether you’re remotely prepared to hear it like it is!
And More Vernee Watson…
… who’s got us seeing red! And you know what? We love it!
Donnell Turner…
… slays as Curtis Ashford, not only the coolest cat this side of the freezer section of the grocery but the club owner whose presence is what makes his bar more than a spot, a hot spot.
Donnell Turner Again…
… making us wait to catch a glimpse of that dazzling smile again. Will we get it?
Yesss, Donnell Turner…
… puts on the kind of happy face that’s so contagious… Wait, what? Are we actually in a better mood now? That’s one potent smile!
What Do We Have Here, Donnell Turner?
Here, he gives Curtis an enigmatic look that leaves us asking questions. Questions of the sort that don’t make us care all that much whether we get answers; the questions are enough.
And More Donnell Turner…
… getting back to the shirt-and-jacket look of old. Though that lapel flower is a total game-changer!
Brook Kerr…
… makes the rounds as Portia Robinson, a doctor whose romantic entanglements are likely to get her diagnosed with “acute twitterpation.”
Brook Kerr Again…
… flashing a Portia smile so bright, you’d swear the doc had just come from the radiology department.
Brook Kerr Again *and* Again…
… adding “-souciant” to the saying “The doctor is in.”
Quelle Surprise! It’s Brook Kerr…
… embodying the seriousness of the next leg of Portia’s journey. Here’s hoping that she packed snacks.
And Yet More Brooke Kerr…
… back to breaking out the smile after 2023’s serious turn.
Sydney Mikayla…
… held the “honor role” of Trina Robinson, the kinda kid you’d be proud to call your own — and in a town as prone to abductions as Port Charles is, might be tempted to! She was recast with…
Tabyana Ali…
… who stepped into Trina’s shoes just in time for the heroine to be marched toward the ultimate trial. And also a literal one.
Again, It’s Tabyana Ali…
… in this shot revealing the brilliant smile that poor Trina has had altogether too few excuses to pull out.
And Yet Again, It’s Tabyana Ali…
… who we don’t know for sure was attempting to make it appear that Trina was thinking of Spencer. But c’mon, let’s be real! If that isn’t the look of love, what is?
And More Tabyana Ali…
… but this time, she’s got us feeling just peachy in that dress!
Michael Blake Kruse…
… was rookie cop Rory Cabrera, an Officer Nice Guy that we could only hope wouldn’t finish last. Spoiler alert: He did. RIP, Rory.
Tanisha Harper…
… is Jordan Ashford, Port Charles’ police commissioner as well as Curtis’ ex. It is, as you’d imagine, complicated.
Tanisha Harper Once More…
… proving that Jordan doesn’t have to whip out the handcuffs to create an arrested development. That gaze!
And Yet Again, Tanisha Harper…
… looking so lovely that we are reminded, “Why doesn’t she have her own storyline?”
And More Tanisha Harper…
… serving up the kinda attitude that has us coming back for seconds!
Robert Gossett…
… deserves a tip of the hat for his work as Curtis’ long-lost, newly-found father, Marshall Ashford.
Robert Gossett Again…
… bringing Marshall into focus. Or maybe in this instance, the camera did that.
Sean Blakemore…
… played Shawn Butler, the ex-con who, like Alexis, was rebuilding a life for himself on the outside. Step No. 1: Score some of that chili at Kelly’s. What? Like you wouldn’t?
Tristan Rogers…
… has run through almost all of the ABCs as Robert Scorpio, going from the WSB to the D.A.’s office while remaining every step of the way an MVP.
Marcus Coloma…
… illuminated Port Charles’ dark prince, Nikolas Cassadine, heir to not just a fortune but enough blood-spattered family baggage to keep him on Kevin Collins’ couch for life.
Maura West…
… is Nikolas’ ex, Ava Jerome, an art dealer and sometime mafiosa whose warm smile belies the fact that she’s been known to put the “fatal” in “femme fatale.”
Maura West Again…
… reminding us with a single image that we’re close, so close to Happy Hour and Ava’s favorite beverage, a martini as cold as her glare.
Maura West Once More…
… seeing if Ava can convince anyone that she’s not the baddest of bad girls by wearing white. Better luck next time, toots!
OK, Twice More, Maura West…
… modeling Ava’s favorite blouse. Mainly because there’s so much room to stash something up its sleeve.
And Finally, Maura West…
… flouting convention by wearing white even though Ava is a dyed-in-the-wool black hat. Or at least a gray hat!
Except There’s More Maura West…
… and we aren’t quite sure what it is about this look, but it’s just about screaming “Mob Queen” at us and we kind of love that for her and Ava.
Charles Shaughnessy…
… hid behind Victor Cassadine’s cheerful demeanor enough schemes to teach a master class in chicanery. The character was, in short, a classic Cassadine.
Nicholas Alexander Chavez…
… played Nikolas’ son Spencer, a teenager every bit as troubled and brooding as Dad was at that age. Maybe a nice girl could set him down the straight and narrow. Oh, Triiina…
Nicholas Alexander Chavez Again…
… giving us a hint of what Spencer’s picture would look like on the cover of Tiger Beat.
Nicholas Alexander Chavez Once More…
… missing only the angel that Spencer usually has on one shoulder and the devil that he usually has on the other.
Nicholas Alexander Chavez Yet Again…
… asking with Spencer’s eyes, “Would you please believe in me?” Um, sure, kid. You’re literally right there.
Nicholas Alexander Chavez for the Last Time…
… giving us a smile that implies that better days are ahead for Spencer. Which, we hate to break it to him, we doubt there are.
Avery Kristen Pohl…
… was scheme weaver Esme Prince, a conniver that you could just tell had at all times a thought bubble over her head that read, “Muahaha! I’m fooling them all!”
Avery Kristen Pohl Again…
… with a thought bubble above Esme’s head that reads, if you really squint, “Crap! I didn’t fool Soaps.com for a second!”
Avery Kristen Pohl Again *and* Again…
… seeing if a “Butter wouldn’t melt in my mouth” expression might throw us off. Keep trying, Avery!
James Patrick Stuart…
… gives heart to Valentin, once described as the most fearsome of all the Cassadines… by characters that we assume were very, very frightened of handsome, charming fellows.
James Patrick Stuart Again…
… this time showing off Valentin’s Casual Friday look.
James Patrick Stuart Is Back…
… but with how bad Valentin’s been, we’re a little afraid of how long it’ll last!
Charles Mesure…
… adds just the right amount of smoldering menace to Valentin’s former partner in crime, John Brennan! Or is that Jack Brennan? Eh, we’ll take it, either way!
Finola Hughes…
… is Port Charles’ Jane Bond, Anna Devane, the born butt-kicker you can always rely on to be the voice of reason. Unless it was during that unfortunate period where she thought that Peter August was her son. Then, er, not so much.
Finola Hughes Again…
… in black, yes. But Anna’s still technically a white hat.
Finola Hughes Once More…
… radiating the level of confidence for which Anna is known. And with which we’d love to be at least vaguely associated.
Finola Hughes Once More and Once More After That…
… if only to make us wonder where Anna has hung the portrait of Dorian Gray that allows her to remain forever young.
Finola Hughes Returns…
… and it’s clear she’s got command of the camera, just as Anna’s got command of the PCPD!
Sofia Mattsson…
… plays Sasha Gilmore, who, since arriving in Port Charles, has stared down so many disasters, it’s a wonder she hasn’t started walking around with her eyes shut!
Sofia Mattsson…
… reminding us with a single intriguing glance why Sasha was the perfect “face of Deception.”
Sofia Mattsson Times Three…
… not that the first two times weren’t also the charm.
Sofia Mattsson Returns…
… and that take-no-prisoners look is just what Sasha needs after all she’s been through.
Johnny Wactor…
… was Brando Corbin, the distant relation of Sonny’s who fit in with the Corinthoses like an offer you couldn’t refuse. If only he hadn’t gotten (cough) The Hook.
Johnny Wactor Again…
… taking to Brando’s heart ZZ Top’s words of wisdom: “Nothin’ drives the girls crazy like a sharp-dressed man.”
Bonnie Burroughs…
… was Gladys, not only Brando’s mom and a hoot and a half but our pick for the Best Tough Broad of 2021. No, really — there’s an award for that, and she won it, hands down. If she hadn’t, knowing Gladys, she would’ve bribed the judges.
Wes Ramsey…
… kept the batteries recharged in the Energizer Bunny of villains, Peter August, a second-generation antagonist who proved the old adage about only the good dying young… at least until finally, he did.
Kirsten Storms…
… is always in vogue as fashionista Maxie Jones, who hopes to break her pattern of getting mixed up with one jerk (Peter) after another (Levi Dunkleman) after another (Logan Hayes). Where’s her next Nathan West, for Peter’s sake?!?
Kirsten Storms Again…
… giving us her best-yet Maxie “Yeah, I said that. What’re you gonna do about it?” look.
Gary James Fuller…
… is Maxie’s adorable son, James West, who sadly, never got to meet dad Nathan before he was killed. Still, this kid’s clearly got a lot of joy to bring to the world!
Roger Howarth…
… played Todd Manning Franco Baldwin Austin Gatlin Holt, the doctor son of Edward’s bastard heir, Jimmy Lee. At least until he followed Franco to the grave.
Roger Howarth Again…
… this time serving Austin sunny side up.
Josh Swickard…
… portrays sometime PCPD detective Harrison Chase, given the thankless task of being a genuine good guy in a town that’s overrun with not-so-good ones for whom we still root.
Josh Swickard Again…
… and still smokin’, as if there was any doubt that he would be.
Josh Swickard a Third Time…
… but heading back to green just like in his first look. Don’t worry, we aren’t envious, just impressed!
Gregory Harrison…
… was Gregory Chase, Finn and Chase’s father and obviously from whom they get their good looks.
Gregory Harrison Again…
… letting Gregory throw sparks all the way back to that picture of Tracy a few dozen images ago.
Jeff Kober…
… lends his gravitas to Cyrus Renault, the most formidable mobster to hit Port Charles since Frank Smith. Oh, and he also happens to be Laura Collins’ brother, whether she likes it or not… which she most definitely does not.
Michael E. Knight…
… is Cyrus and Laura’s brother, Martin Grey, an attorney who is just a “tad” on the shady side.
Kelly Thiebaud…
… played doctor as Britt Westbourne, a reformed scheme queen whose twinkling eyes never failed to say, “I can hatch a plot with the best of ’em — try me.” Sorry, our insurance doesn’t cover plot-hatching.
Kelly Thiebaud Again…
… executing the seen-it-all expression that only a character like Britt could use without having to exaggerate.
Kelly Thiebaud Once More…
… this time, ensuring that we see eye to eye with Britt.
Josh Kelly…
… is Cody Bell, who made one heck of a splash by parachuting into Port Charles — and Britt’s life.
Josh Kelly Again…
… turning the “handsome” up to 11.
Aaand Josh Kelly…
… hoping that his animal magnetism will make us stop questioning why Cody would hesitate for a second to establish a family tie with one of Port Charles’ most beloved denizens.
More Josh Kelly…
… looking comfy, cozy and finally ready to tell Mac Scorpio that Cody is his son! Fingers crossed!
Alley Mills…
… asks, “To BLT or not to BLT?” as reformed serial killer Heather Webber.
Cassandra James…
… is Terry Randolph, a dedicated doctor who just happens to be daytime’s one and only transgender character.
Sonya Eddy…
… before her unexpected passing in 2022, was Epiphany Johnson, the R.N. you most wanted to show up at your hospital-room doorway if what you really needed was a kick in the pants. She is, and always will be, sorely missed.
Parry Shen…
… is enjoying the Get Out of Jail Finally card that was given to Brad-Not-Bradley Cooper only days before he had to decide what color after orange would be the new black.
Parry Shen Again…
… because he’s not drawn that way, he’s Brad.
Lydia Look…
… is Selina Wu, Brad’s aunt and the mobster most willing to cut off a branch of the Five Families’ tree.
Lydia Look Again…
… unleashing Selina’s “Don’t tempt me” glare. We won’t, ma’am. We won’t.
Jacklyn Zeman…
… was the beloved vet who played Bobbie Spencer, the unlucky-in-love nurse who was never been able to come up with a cure for heartache.
Kristina Wagner…
… started 2022 back on contract as Felicia Scorpio, the enduring heroine whose 1980s adventures with ex-husband Frisco Jones made her a daytime legend.
Kristina Wagner Again…
… in an outfit that leaves no doubt about the color that Felicia intends to paint the town.
Kristina Wagner Once More…
… hinting that Felicia’s favorite band is the Psychedelic Furs by looking so very pretty in pink.
Aaand Kristina Wagner…
… challenging the springtime to so much as try to look brighter.
Last But Not Least, Kristina Wagner
At least this is the last but not least of this series of images of the General Hospital vet.
Kidding, More Kristina Wagner!
If you’re noticing a theme with this gallery, it’s that we can never get enough of legends like Wagner!
John J. York…
… has taken Mac Scorpio from top cop to beer slinger and back without discarding one iota of his charm along the way.
John J. York Again…
… making Mac look like the handsomest Lens Crafters model of all time.
Kathleen Gati…
… never fails to make a scene an actual scene as Liesl Obrecht, the doctor about whom we’ve always been mad. Yes, even back when Lex Luthor was looking at her misdeeds and going, “Gracious! Take it down a notch, missy.”
Carolyn Hennesy…
… taught us long ago that if we’re ever stuck up the river without a paddle (legally speaking), the only person we can really count on to get us off is cutthroat lawyer Diane Miller. And if that look Hennesy is giving us isn’t selling it, nothing will!
Kin Shriner…
… is so beloved as Scotty Baldwin that fans flipped their collective lids when a Twitter post made it sound like he might have left Port Charles for good. (Spoiler alert: He hadn’t and hasn’t, thank heavens!)
More Kin Shriner…
… and we certainly aren’t complaining. We’ll take Scotty any way, any day!
Lynn Herring…
… is Lucy Coe, who isn’t just the boss at Deception, she’s also a master of deception. What? Would we lie to you?
Jon Lindstrom…
… plays mild-mannered shrink Kevin Collins. Not to be confused with…
Jon Lindstrom…
… as Kevin’s homicidally maniacal twin brother, Ryan Chamberlain, who wasn’t nearly so easy to tell from his sibling when he wasn’t rocking a straitjacket.
Jon Lindstrom, Yes…
… but without the straitjacket, is it Kevin… or Ryan?
The One and Only John Lindstrom…
… who is most definitely back to being Kevin, seeing as how Ryan is dead and buried. Again!
Genie Francis…
… keeps alive the legend that is Laura Spencer, the rare heroine who can fill in all the boxes on her If It Could Happen On a Soap, Did It Happen to You? bingo card.
Genie Francis Again…
… suggesting that OK, perhaps she has a favorite pose. Who could blame her? It’s a good one.
Genie Francis Once More…
… turning the other cheek.
Finally, It’s Genie Francis…
… who until the end of time will be who we call to mind when we “think of Laura.”
Define ‘Finally,’ ’Cause Here’s Genie Francis Anew…
… her smile belying what, beneath the surface, is clearly a blue mood of Laura’s
For Realsies, Though, Adieu, Genie Francis…
… who leaves us with an expression that layers mischief under its obvious somberness. Well played, Laura!
For Realsies, Hello, Genie Francis…
… because we can never leave well enough alone. And we can never get enough of Francis or her smile!
It Takes a Village…
… to put on a soap opera. And a whole lotta talented people both in front of and behind the camera. (One of them even took this group shot.)
The Best of Enemies
The Emmy-winning triumvirate that plays Ava, Carly and Nina is close in real life. Literally, as you can see. All three got their starts on New York-based soaps in the 1990s.
Boy Meets Girl, Boy Gets Girl…
Uh-oh. Based on Dante’s expression, he knows that what comes next in the saying is “Boy loses girl.” We’re not gonna be the ones to break it to Sam!
Take Two
Jordan who? Curtis is now hot ’n’ heavy with Portia. Which may explain why it’s suddenly become so hard to get an appointment with her!
C’mon, Get Happy
Don’t mind if the tag team that brings to life Shawn and TJ does just that. If only life in Port Charles gave their characters as many reasons to crack a smile and laugh.
Like Mother, Like Daughter
Thankfully, Molly (Haley Pullos here) has inherited Alexis’ strong-mindedness, not her attraction to mobsters. Not yet, anyway.
Young Love
Does TJ and Molly’s relationship have what it takes to stand the test of time? Only you-know-what will tell.
The Happy Couple?
Eh, gorgeous, yes. But happy? That was never really in the cards for these two.
Closer Than Close
Cameron and Josslyn were bonded by the fact that they’d mourned loved ones together, survived terrifying misadventures and were both just really, really cute. On the other hand, that Dex guy was hella hot.
Danger, an Aphrodisiac? Who Knew?
Joss traded up. Way up. (Sorry, Cam.) Enough said.
Violet in Bloom
The apple of Finn’s eye never fails to put a little extra twinkle in ours. No wonder she made our list of soaps’ cutest kids of all time. (Check it out here.)
Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here
OK, maybe not all of the gang, but more than half a dozen of the ABC soap’s finest.
‘It Takes… Wait, It’s *Two*, Isn’t It?’
Nevertheless, Dante’s photo op with Sam was crashed by Ryan from All My Children her ex. #awkward
Would Ya Look at That?
A whole year after that last shot was snapped, and “Sante” are still together. Not only that, but they’re looking…
Tighter Than Ever
If Dante turned away from Sam for even a second, we suspect we’d see stars in his eyes.
A Chip Off the Ol’ Block
Somehow we doubt that Valentin would like the sound of that. Victor, on the other hand…
Hands Off, Lady!
You’d think that by now Nina would have learned not to so much as gaze at fellas who are involved with other women. And yet…
Who Says an Aunt Can’t?
Family matters to Curtis and Stella. Enough said.
BFFs
Ha. It’d be a cold day in hell, we suspect, before Esme and Josslyn could even exchange smiles that weren’t fake.
Starting Over
Finn and Elizabeth hoped that in one another they’d found a chance at a new beginning. Well, a new new beginning. They’ve gone through quite a few, haven’t they?
The Mother Lode
No doubt, Carly inherited not only her beauty but her fearlessness and knack for making trouble from her mom, reformed hell-raiser Bobbie.
The Ultimate Power Couple
Never mind how bitterly Sonny and Carly can argue. It’s called passion, people! Passion! And they have it to spare.
He Mayor May Not
Luke who? Kevin is the better half who’s on Laura’s arm now. And always? Erm, well, General Hospital is a soap opera, so 50/50 chance?
Seriously, Though…
Life in Port Charles can be a lot more fun than these expressions might suggest. Deadly, yes… but fun, too.
Reunited, and It Feels So…
… tense. At least it did at first when Marshall reentered the lives of Jordan and TJ.
Believe It or Not…
… Jordan is TJ’s mother. Not his sister or love interest… his mother. Clearly, the watercoolers at the PCPD are filled from the Fountain of Youth.
Smiles for Miles
And just like that, your day got a whole lot more cheerful, didn’t it?
‘A Dark Side? Who, Us?’
Nikolas and Ava can be just as light and carefree as any couple, dang it. Just not, you know, for too long at a stretch.
Papa Don’t Preach
“Do as I say, not as I’ve done” might as well have been Nikolas’ motto when it came to parenting Spencer.
Mamma Mia
Erm, Dante, maybe you should save that kind of a glance for your significant other, not your mother.
Dante’s Inferno
It hasn’t always been easy for the PCPD detective to have a career criminal for a father. If only he could get Dad outta that shady “coffee-importing” business…
‘Put Up Your Dukes’
On second thought, if this is the way these two bruisers are coming at you… run!
One-Two Punch
If there’s one person you want on your side in a bar fight more than Sonny, it’s Brando’s take-no-prisoners mama!
The Odd Couple
Here’s Harmony and Finn together. OK, then.
Wonder Women
Turning the girl power up to 10, 11… overloooad!
Love’s Labor’s Lost… and Found?
Something — as in this photo — tells us there’s unfinished business between Sam and Drew.
Black-and-White and Red All Over
Olivia and Anna manage to be Superwomen without the capes or the flying. Although the flying would be cool. And come to think of it, either or both of them would really rock a cape.
… and the Award for Best Friends Goes to…
… Felicia and Anna. What, did you think Trina and Esme were gonna get it?
The Secret Ingredient Is Love
At least it is when you’re making a sandwich of cutie-patootie Violet.
Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves
Here, Terry and Liz experiment to find out whether laughter really is the best medicine.
With Friends Like These…
… what can’t they get through?
At Long Last Love
Valentin and Anna took just about the bumpiest route imaginable to one another’s arms.
A Picture Says a Thousand Words
Well, four, in this case: I’ve got your back. We’ll save the other 996 for a different occasion.
Smooth Operators
No matter what trouble comes their way — and there’s always some! — these two make it, ahem, Valentin’s Day.
Paying Their ‘I Dos’
Rule-breakers Michael and Willow got the whole “First comes love, then comes marriage” thing all wrong. Yet it still worked out all right.
No Kidding!
Thanks to her romance with Michael, Willow has wound up raising Wiley, the little boy she originally thought was her biological son.
Surprise!
Though Nina missed out on all of Willow’s teenage years, the mother/daughter duo has certainly made up for lost time in the squabbling department.
Brr! That Is One *Cold* Shoulder
And this was after things began to thaw between Willow and Nina!
A Sign of Things to Come?
We have a feeling that, in the long run, these two will manage to bond. If Carly and Bobbie could do so back in the day, anything can happen!
Imperfect Harmony
Harmony might not have been the best mom, but she was the only one Willow had. Or so the young woman thought…
Mom’s the Word
If anyone in Port Charles is as formidable and fiery as Carly, it’s her Mini Me.
Family Business
Mess with one of the Corinthoses, you mess with them all. And you do not want to mess with them all.
An Offer You Can’t Refuse…
… is more or less any offer made by a member of Port Charles’ First Family, the Teflon don and his (currently estranged) nearest and dearest.
It Had to Be You
What happened in Nixon Falls didn’t stay in Nixon Falls for “Mike” and Nina.
‘No, We Cannot Share’
When Sonny recovered from amnesia, he couldn’t forget the feelings that “Mike” had developed for Nina. A certain sensation crept into Carly, too. What was it again? Ah, yes…
Unadulterated Loathing
Or, considering that Sonny cheated on Carly with Nina, would that be… adulterated loathing?
For Real, Yo
Off screen, Carly and Nina’s portrayers go back all the way to their days as co-stars on Guiding Light. Come to think of it, their characters didn’t get along so well on that show, either.
Slap-Happy
If they’re smiling, we’re suspicious. The mortal enemies have been known to insist that one another “talk to the hand.”
At Last
Spencer and Trina had more obstacles thrown at them than a Major League catcher does baseballs. And as quickly as they came together, they were torn apart again!
Two for the Show
It took two Trinas, a prison stint (Spencer’s), an exorcism (of sorts, of Esme) and a dead boyfriend (RIP, Rory) to clear the path for “Sprina.”
Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda
If only Britt hadn’t been dying and all, and so determined to leave Port Charles, she and Cody might have made a cute couple. Heck, they did, at least long enough to snap this pic.
‘Sonny Who?’
It wasn’t Carly’s ex-husband who broke up her and Drew but Jason. All he had to do was show up alive, and his brother considered his relationship dead.
Hmm…
Maybe Carly and Drew could superimpose their subsequent lovers’ pictures in each other’s place in this photo. It’s too good to waste!
Making Beautiful Music Together…
… are Chase and Brook Lynn. Yes, even after he quit playing the 2020s version of Frisco the Pop-Singing Cop.
A Sour Note
Rather than hit any more of those, we recommend the newlyweds fast-forward past any future rough patches in their relationship.
Father Time
Ned knows by now that slim and none are the chances that Brook Lynn will heed his good advice.
Every Family Has One
A Martin, that is. He’s a bit of a handful, but even Laura would have to admit that he’s still a lot less lethal than Cyrus.
Mother Knows Best
And if Trina doesn’t like her advice, she can always ask for…
A Second Opinion
When things get rocky with Portia, Trina can always turn to Ava, with whom she’s carved out a close relationship.
Auntie Social
Selina has taken a keen interest in nephew Brad. And Brad? He’s taken a keen interest in wishing that her interest in him was a lot less keen.
Grave Matters
Sonny’s running the show… for now. But Selina is about as likely to play by his rules as she is to crack a smile when told to say cheese.
Y’all Come Back Now…
… because as soon as new images drop, we’ll add them to this very (and now very big!) gallery.
