The End of an Era

Although Mansi has enjoyed her time at GH, with her husband, producer Matt McInnis, working overseas, the actress opted not to renew her contract in order to have more flexibility in her schedule. “I knew my contract was up in April and I wanted to give them proper notice so that they could plan their future storytelling,” she shared.

Having been running Charlie’s Pub in Port Charles for years, Kristina was inspired by recent events surrounding the loss of her baby and sister Molly’s (Kristen Vaganos) endometriosis to apply to medical school. After being accepted to UCLA, Kristina said tearful good-byes to parents Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Sonny (Maurice Benard), then shared a last breakfast with siblings Molly and Michael (Rory Gibson) to make sure they’d be okay without her before she flew off to the West Coast.

Kate Mansi Exits GH: How Kristina Was Written Out

As soon as Kristina got the notification that she’d been accepted to medical school, the countdown began to portrayer Kate Mansi’s final episode of General Hospital. After making all the necessary arrangements to fly to California to begin studying to become a doctor at UCLA, Kristina said good-bye to Port Charles on the June 12 […]

Once Mansi had made the decision to leave GH, the actress told Grahn, Vaganos, and Gibson first, but deliberately chose not to share the news with Benard until the day they were taping their final scenes together.

“He was crying, and he asked me in rehearsal, ‘Is this it, kid? Are you really leaving?’” she said. “And I said, ‘Yes.’ He gave me a big hug, and we both cried. During taping, it was a very meaningful, authentic reaction we both had saying good-bye to each other, which is what I really wanted, because the father-daughter relationship for Kristina and Sonny, and for Maurice and me, has been so special and unique. But it was really hard.”

During her final day at the studio, Mansi went through the gamut of emotions as she experienced the daily process for the last time. “After I finished my final scene, all the producers came out,” she shared. “I made a little speech, and I said how recently I had lost a very good friend, Patrick Muldoon [ex-Austin, Days of Our Lives], and that experience made me very aware of the friendships we create in these jobs on shows like this every single day and how much I cherish them.”

GH Comings & Goings: Kate Mansi Exits as Kristina — 'Very Difficult Decision'

General Hospital fans will soon be saying good-bye to Kate Mansi, who joined the Port Charles ranks as Kristina Corinthos-Davis on May 24, 2023. It was the Daytime Emmy-winning actress’s decision to leave the soap at the conclusion of her three-year contract, she confirmed in the new edition of former Soap Opera Digest Editorial Director Stephanie […]

Having also played Abigail on DAYS, Mansi is well aware of the unique loyalty of soap fans and expressed her gratitude to them, saying, “Daytime fans are so diehard. I know I was coming in as a recast and I’m so grateful to have been accepted with such a warm welcome as Kristina, and to hear from some of my Abigail fans that they’ve enjoyed Kristina as well is so wonderful.”

As she prepares to join her husband in Europe, Mansi reported she has a new project in the works for this fall. But might she one day bring Kristina back to Port Charles as a successful doctor? Noted Mansi with a wink, “Anything is possible.”

While I’m Away

Having already shared a tearful farewell with her parents, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), Kristina met with her half siblings Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Michael (Rory Gibson) at the Metro Court Gardens. She assured them both that she was ready for this next step, but appeared wistful. Kristina thanked them for taking her to the airport and urged them to lean on each other while she was gone. After initially joking about the idea, Molly admitted she and Michael weren’t as close to each other as they each were to Kristina, and Kristina insisted that had to change.

Molly protested that her sister couldn’t just declare them besties, but Kristina playfully noted, “Too bad, I just did.” She then proceeded to spill all the tea so they’d both be up to speed on one another’s lives.

Kristina informed Michael that Molly was in love with Cody, but couldn’t bring herself to say the “L” word to him because she was scared to admit he might be “the one.” Michael understood, given how Molly previously thought TJ was the one. When Kristina started to tell him why Cody might be the one, Molly started to leave, jokingly crying, “Kill me now,” but Kristina ordered her sister to sit back down and mused that Cody keeps Molly focused on the here and now. Molly didn’t see why any of this was Michael’s business, and Kristina teased that she was about to learn all about his.

Kristina then broke down for Molly how Michael is forever tied to ex-wife Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) through their two young children, Wiley (Viron Weaver) and Amelia (Sequoia and Serenity Mork Macko), and blasted Willow for making everyone think that Michael shot Drew (Cameron Mathison), which Kris insisted he had not. Worse, Willow has been all over Chase (Josh Swickard) lately, which means Michael is stuck between Willow and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton).

Kristina allowed that Michael has his girlfriend, Jacinda (Paige Herschell), to talk to and urged Molly to get to know her as well. But she wanted Michael and Molly to be able to talk to each other if they needed to vent about their partners.

Kristina asked if they had a deal, and Michael chuckled that this was a prime example of why he was going to miss her. Molly agreed it could be great to spend more time with Michael. “Hard as you try, it’s not gonna keep us from missing you,” she told her sister. “But we love you for trying.”

Parting Ways

After their meal, everyone got up to head to the airport, and Kristina apologized for being pushy. “But I want each of you to be the person the other can call,” she reiterated. “Okay? To show up for each other, no questions asked. Because that’s what you’ve been for me.”

Molly and Michael promised that they would hold down the fort and keep an eye on each other. “You don’t have to worry about us,” Michael assured her. “We got this. Go live your dream.”

Kristina smiled and hugged both of her siblings, though at the end, her eyes betrayed just a hint of trepidation mixed in with the excitement as she prepared for her next adventure.

Lie By Omission

Lucas went to the PCPD to give Acting D.A. Turner his statement regarding Sidwell. Before interviewing Lucas, Justine instructed Chase to stay away from the case, not wanting him to do anything that could potentially undermine it once Sidwell was apprehended. In the interrogation room, Lucas explained to Justine how he’d pieced together that Pascal had potentially killed Marco (of course, not telling her that he’d set up the butler) and that after Pascal ran off, he was worried that he’d be the target of Sidwell’s anger, so he’d gone to Laura for help. Then, he, Laura, and Sonny decided that Lucas should confront Sidwell in a controlled environment where the PCPD could intervene. When Turner questioned why Lucas put himself in such a dangerous situation, Lucas shared that he’d done it because he loved Marco… and it was Sidwell’s fault that Marco was killed. With Sidwell and Pascal both on the run, Justine insisted on placing Lucas under police protection.

Later, Justine ran into Chase, who had changed into civilian clothes at the end of his shift but was holding a case file, in the department room. The two got at it over how he’d sabotaged Willow’s case. Justine snapped that she didn’t trust him and didn’t want him on the squad, warning that if Chase put one toe out of line, she’d have him fired.

Arriving at the station for his appointment with Justine, Sonny overheard her argument with Chase and then joined her in the interrogation room to give his statement. Although Sonny’s statement matched Lucas’s, Justine suspected they were purposely holding back parts of the story and was upset that Sonny wasn’t being honest with her. She accused Sonny of working with Lucas to entrap Sidwell by intentionally provoking him.

Sonny replied that he’d wanted to do it himself, but Lucas had insisted on being the one to face Sidwell, and now Lucas had gotten Sidwell on an open-and-shut case of attempted homicide — which the PCPD hadn’t been able to do. Sonny lamented that Sidwell had gotten away, and Justine speculated that Sonny had perhaps facilitated Sidwell’s escape so he could kill his enemy himself and claim self-defense. Straight-faced, Sonny replied that that was great insight, and he’d keep it in mind the next time he saw Sidwell.

Make A Splash

Tracy lured Willow to the Quartermaine boathouse and confronted her about manipulating and moving in on Chase. Pushing back, Willow accused Tracy of helping Michael frame her for shooting Drew, then scoffed that Tracy hated her because Willow’s children loved her while Ned and Dillon couldn’t stand Tracy.

As the women stood on the dock, their argument escalated, and Tracy grabbed Willow’s arm while warning her to steer clear of the Quartermaine family. Then, Willow spotted Chase approaching the boathouse and yelled out that Tracy was hurting her. Willow wound up in the lake and Chase dove in to rescue her as Tracy rolled her eyes at how gullible he was. Although Tracy denied the accusation when Willow insisted that Tracy had pushed her into the lake, Chase arrested Tracy anyway!

Desperate Times

After updating Sonny on their adoption status with Phoebe, Brook Lynn asked him for Brick’s contact info, saying she needed the hacker’s discreet brand of expertise to protect her family. Brook Lynn got in touch with Brick, then met with Lucy and shared that she had an expert who was investigating Willow’s alibi. Her consultant could also hack into the GPS on Willow’s car — which happened to be a black SUV — and place her on Route 91 at the time of Curtis and Jordan’s accident.

Brook Lynn insisted that she normally wouldn’t take advantage of Jordan and Curtis’s misfortune, but Willow had to be stopped. Cutting Willow out of Chase’s life had to be Chase’s decision, Brook Lynn added — and sometimes a deception was needed to reveal a bigger truth.

Soap Opera Digest chatted with Willow’s portrayer, Katelyn […]

Bagged And Tagged

Ethan met with Alexis, who tried to convince him to agree to an open adoption because Brook Lynn and Chase wanted the baby to have a connection to her biological father. Ethan remained set on a closed adoption even when Alexis pointed out that Phoebe would then never know the Spencer side of her family. When Alexis next argued that Ethan was the only one who could tell Phoebe about her birth mom, he agreed that Phoebe should know who Delilah was. Later, dressed as a uniformed patrolman, Ethan entered the PCPD’s cold case closet. Searching through a box, he removed an evidence bag and pocketed it.

The Last Good-Bye

Before they took her to the airport, Kristina had breakfast with Michael and Molly at the Metro Court Gardens and told her siblings she wanted them to lean on one another while she was gone. Kristina gave Michael the rundown on Molly’s love life, then brought Molly up to speed on Michael’s issues with Willow. Michael and Molly agreed to spend more time together and shared with Kristina how proud they were of her for pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor.

Check out this tease for the next episode of GH, and be sure to share your thoughts and predictions on all the latest twists and turns in the comments below!

The Odd Couple

Josslyn’s week began with discovering, in what McCoy calls “a very brutal way,” that she had new company in her cell in the form of Obrecht. “When she was dragged in unconscious by a henchman, Josslyn was like, ‘What the hell is going on?'” the actress recalls. “And to make things even more stressful, Josslyn now had knowledge of something that Dr. Obrecht didn’t know, which is that ‘Nathan’ is an impostor and she has another son, Cassius, that she didn’t know was alive in the first place.”

That truth soon tumbled out when Cassius visited the women in the cell. “It was almost unbearable just to picture a mother being so excited to see ‘Nathan,’ who she thinks is there to rescue her, only to find out that he’s not Nathan, and she has to grieve Nathan all over again,” sighs McCoy. “It was just this domino effect that was really fun to play. I felt like I got to be a fly on the wall with Kathleen and Ryan Paevey [Cassius]. I was like, ‘This is like the Ryan and Kathleen master class, and I get to watch right now and be in this with them!’ It was super-awesome.”

McCoy has never worked closely with Gati before their characters’ current storyline predicament, but behind the scenes, “She has always been so kind to me,” the actress says. “She’s so passionate about what she does, and she’s so different from Obrecht, so it’s been really cool to watch her just snap in and find this character. They’re both very strong women, but in such different ways.”

She has been particularly impressed by the accent Gati uses when she plays Obrecht. “I’m just on my knees praising her for her accent!” McCoy marvels. “I applaud anyone that can do accents because I can’t at all. So it just makes her that much more fun to to act with because when we’re in character, I’m talking to this person that sounds and behaves so differently from me. We’re just kind of the odd couple, locked in this room together, trying to figure out how to make it work.”

Though they’re allies in this particular situation, “Josslyn and Obrecht are not particularly fans of each other,” McCoy notes. “But when you put the two of them in a room, with both of them in a really bad spot, and fun things start to happen!”

Finishing Touches

Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) kidnapped Obrecht to force her to complete the work her daughter, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), abandoned when she went on the run with Rocco (Finn Carr): bringing Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) dangerous cold fusion project to fruition — but on the June 11 episode, the women clashed over whether or not Obrecht should comply with their wishes.

“They have nothing else to do other than think about how they’re going to get out of this,” McCoy says. “I just know that for Josslyn, her number one priority is not allowing Cullum or Sidwell [Carlo Rota] to get their hands on this completed prototype. That is just Josslyn’s mantra, because she thinks that is absolutely the worst thing that could happen. Forget about those guys playing with their lives — if she can’t stop this from happening, if she can’t restrict their access to this prototype, then it doesn’t even matter if they die because a billion people could die! That’s how, as a WSB agent, Josslyn is thinking about things.”

McCoy teases that the storyline’s final chapter is going to be a doozy. “I am really excited for people to see how this plays out,” the GH star grins. “There’s a pretty big climax coming.”

So Hard to Say Good-Bye

Alexis and Sonny were stunned when Kristina called them together to announce that she’d gotten into medical school. After explaining how she was inspired by the doctors who helped her and Molly and took the MCAT on a whim, Kristina revealed that she’d enrolled at UCLA and was leaving tomorrow. Alexis worried about how quickly everything was happening, but Kristina assured her parents that she’d put a lot of thought into her decision. She assured Sonny she’d hired a manager for Charlie’s and told Alexis that Lucas was taking over her role as advisor at the Corinthos-Davis Center. Sonny wished his daughter well before heading out, and Alexis broke down in tears as she embraced Kristina and told her she’d do great.

Book Report

James made s’mores with Cody and Molly outside of the Quartermaine boathouse. Cody broke the news that he wouldn’t be able to attend James’ Little League games because he was joining Molly on her book tour. James wondered if Cody would get bored on the trip, and Molly was touched when Cody explained that when someone you love succeeds, you feel like a part of it, too. After James went home, Molly winked that she needed inspiration for a sequel to her book and she and Cody started making out.

Team Effort

Danny texted Charlotte requesting to meet up, but she went to see Valentin first. He urged her to steer clear of Danny, whom he felt was hotheaded and impulsive. Charlotte, however, was determined to stay by Danny’s side to help guide him in the right direction. Valentin then told Charlotte that if his new plan worked, he wouldn’t be a fugitive anymore.

Later, Charlotte met with Danny outside Bobbie’s, and she declined his request to search evidence to help free Jason now that Sidwell wasn’t around, suggesting they wait until the place wasn’t swarming with cops. Danny realized he’d been shortsighted, and Charlotte smiled that it was good she was there to keep him in check.

The Ring’s the Thing

Carly arrived at Wyndemere and was shocked when Ava explained the WSB agents swarming the place were there because Sidwell was a wanted fugitive after shooting Lucas. Ava felt terrible about accidentally pointing Sidwell in Lucas’s direction. When Cullum arrived to question them, Ava claimed that Jenz was merely her client. Cullum dismissed Ava, but insisted Carly stick around.

Carly deflected Cullum’s questions about Lucas and Josslyn and told him that while she was dating Jack, he had never told her anything about Sidwell. The housekeeper interrupted to show Cullum a ring she’d found, and Carly immediately recognized it as belonging to Josslyn. She secretly grabbed a letter opener, then thought better of it and put it back. Carly blasted Cullum and the WSB for being completely ineffectual, and he sent her on her way.

Carly rushed home and told Valentin about the ring, which proved that Josslyn was being held captive at Wyndemere. She begged him to help rescue her daughter. Valentin insisted they had to make their next move carefully, but was hopeful they could stop this project as long as the villains didn’t have a replacement for Britt.

Status Update

At the hospital, “Nathan” assured Nina he was fine and explained how Sidwell “escaped.” She was grateful he wasn’t injured worse after being attacked by Sidwell’s goons, but he worried about ruining James’s vision of his heroic father. After she gushed about how much James loves his father, “Nathan” remarked how surprising it was she turned out so loving and supportive. He quickly blamed the comment on his head injury, but Nina still found it odd.

Arriving to check on Lucas, Ava asked “Nathan” about Sidwell, but he dodged her questions and excused himself. Later, over drinks at Cafe Cherie, Ava lamented about getting involved with Sidwell and nearly getting Lucas killed. Nina worried that Ava could also be in danger, but Ava dismissed the idea.

Out of Time

Obrecht pored over Britt’s “genius” work on Faison’s final project and thought she could have a working cold fusion prototype in about a week. Josslyn insisted she couldn’t give that kind of powerful energy source to people like Cullum and Sidwell, but Obrecht argued that she had no choice in order to protect her son, Cassius. Josslyn argued that they would all likely be killed once she delivered a finished prototype and urged her not to give up such important leverage. Obrecht worried that stalling could get Cassius killed, and was surprised when Josslyn admitted she didn’t think Nathan’s twin was all bad and truly cared about Britt, James, and Obrecht. Joss then urged her to finish the project — but make sure it failed.

Cullum entered with news that Sidwell had made a foolish error and was a fugitive. Now that he was in charge, Cullum wanted to streamline the operation. He pulled out a knife to eliminate Josslyn, but Cassius burst in to declare he’d have to kill him first. He noted that Cullum wouldn’t want the extra complication of Dante investigating the death of one of his detectives, and Obrecht added that she’d had a hard time working on the project if she were grieving her son. Cullum backed off, but insisted that the project be finished and he wouldn’t let anyone stand in its way.

After Cullum left, Obrecht confirmed to Cassius that she would be able to finish the prototype, and he sighed that it wasn’t what he wanted, but they were out of options.

Can Cassius figure out a way to get himself, Obrecht, and Josslyn out of Cullum’s clutches? How long until Sidwell resurfaces? Will Valentin and Carly succeed in rescuing Joss? Share your GH thoughts and predictions in the comments below!

Diane’s New Man

TV Insider broke the news and reported that Burns’s character will be involved in a storyline with Diane, which reunites him with actress Susan Walters over three decades after the pair worked together on the NBC sitcom Dear John. On the Judd Hirsch-starring series, which ran from 1988-92, Burns played cocky ladies’ man Kirk Morris, while Walters debuted in the second season as Southern belle Mary Beth Sutton.

Walters reacted to the reunion in an interview with the outlet, saying, “I loved working with Jere Burns on Dear John, so I was thrilled when I was told that we’d be working together again on Y&R.”

In addition to Dear John, Burns is known for a wide range of prime-time roles, including Jack Farrell on Something So Right and Frank Alfano on Good Morning, Miami, plus appearances on Burn Notice, Angie Tribeca, NCIS: Los Angeles and Dead to Me.

Y&R: Melody Thomas Scott Speaks Out on Nikki's Medical Crisis

Nikki’s health has been faltering recently on The Young and the Restless as the show embarks on a new crisis for the character — and this week, Nikki goes from experiencing blinding headaches to discovering that her eyesight is deteriorating. Y&R star Melody Thomas Scott spoke about her dramatic new storyline in an interview with […]

In Diane’s current storyline, her marriage to Jack (Peter Bergman) has been on the rocks since she caught him in bed with his deranged ex-wife, Patty (Stacy Haiduk). Though he tried to explain he’d been drugged and it was all a setup by Victor (Eric Braeden), Diane refused to accept his explanation and moved out of the Abbott mansion on March 17.

The last time that Diane was on screen on Y&R was in the May 14 episode, where she had a dream in which she left a voicemail for Jack saying she wanted to get together and talk about moving forward, insisting she still loved him. But the dream quickly turned into a nightmare when she arrived back at the house to reconcile with her husband, only to find Jack living in domestic bliss with Patty.

Since then, Diane has been missing in action — although she did appear on Jack’s arm in the crossover episodes with Beyond the Gates that aired the week of June 8; due to the different production schedules of the two soaps, their respective storylines did not align.

When Burns makes his daytime debut as Dr. Markham, viewers can expect some answers about Diane’s whereabouts.

In Too Deep

Sitting with Ava (Maura West) at Cafe Cherie, Nina (Cynthia Watros) expresses her concern. “I think you could be in danger,” she frets. Ava looks a little taken aback by the suggestion. Might Nina’s worry have something to do with the close relationship Ava has with Sidwell (Carlo Rota), who is currently in the wind after escaping custody following his attempted murder of Lucas (Van Hansis)?
