After debuting in the role of Rocco Falconeri in July 2022 and on recurring status since March 2024, Finn Carr received his first on-screen guest credit in today's closing credits! Well deserved after today's powerful performance. #GH #GeneralHospital pic.twitter.com/JlCSyBYGwh

Per end credits, Cosette Abinante is now credited as "Scout Quartermaine" (formerly "Cain") as of today's closing credits. Her credits in 2023 were as "Scout Cain".

Another day when GH has even us curmudgeons choked up, crying, Dom is quite the emotional actor & boy can he cry. Plus, those kids. Dante blaming himself, I did not see that coming. Sonny got out of his own stuff for once to be there for his son. Kristina refused to believe it while Molly immediately collapsed. Next week we have the funeral to get through. And, sometime Lulu has to wake up. Sam MCall died an everyday hero.

I think if you’re gonna kill a long term character off you should get your money’s worth out of the fall out and they’ve been hitting the right emotional beats for me so far, starting with the rounds of pre-surgery visits with all of Sam’s important connections on canvas last week up to the devastation shock and grief we’re seeing now.

I had gotten spoiled that she would die Wednesday but they caught me off guard with Sam and Alexis chatting about Sante’s engagement in one scene then jumping to Alexis signaling Jason to send Danny and Scout away while the hospital staff tried to save Sam. Some of the acting (namely Van Hansis) and directing during the actual death call was a bit hammy but it still hit the right spots for me.

I thought Alexis and Jason’s reactions to finding out she was dead were great performances from both actors. Alexis asking Portia for a blanket then lying in bed with Sam’s dead body was devastating. Now personally I would have cut the rant at the universe for taking her daughter part because it just felt a wee bit too…hey lets get an Emmy but again, it all still worked for me. NLG clearly knew what she was supposed to do and went for it (I did get distracted by KeMos eyes fluttering though 💀)

Jason’s scenes were the ones that really sold the whole death for me, Burton played it all to perfection IMO. Jason hesitating at the door, not even being able to look at the body was heartbreaking, then him saying he slept better next to her the same way she had told him, woof. The real kicker was the montage with their old theme song. Hadn’t heard that damn Rie Sinclair track in over a decade and it used to annoy the hell outta me back in the day but man oh man I legit got teary eyed when it played. JaSam has always been my preferred Jason pairing and I still think its criminal it took Sam getting killed off for them to give us a real scene with the two of them for the entirety of this Burton return.

Danny distracting Scout and Dante and Rocco talking about how Sam got them out of an emotional hole after losing Lulu to her deep slumber was also devastating. I’m looking forward to the rest of the reactions and Alexis going for legal vengeance against the hospital.

The rest of the show? Meh. They took all the gas out of the Nina/Drew/Willow/Michael/Sasha story by not having Drew and Willow boink, sidelining the whole thing then rushing this reveal. Michael going full torturing heel on Drew and Willow is the only thing that could reinvigorate my interest.

Damn if I wasn't bawling my eyes out on the elliptical when their theme came on.  Brought me right back to high school and falling in love with them all over again.  I have been a HUGE KM fan ever since Port Charles (that was my show and Livvie was my girl) and I am so very sad to lose her and this character.

That kid is talented and can hold his own. He may age out of the role soon, but he’s one of the more compelling younger actors on the show.

I don't think he'll age out; I don't see them recasting.

That Closer article about GH's troubles is nothing but a pieced-together mess of things we've read elsewhere. They had no new insights.

They mention GH looking for "big name actors" to give ratings a boost, citing Sarah Sherman from SNL. She's a big name? Regardless, we haven't seen any other sign that GH is looking for name actors in cameos.

I am sure Sarah Sherman's pay was not costly

I posted the link with my opinion added, which was: This article is a bunch of hooey. 

The last 2 episodes have been incredibly good.  Sam's death might be the kick in the ass the show needed.

I do hope the show continues to have Sam’s kids think of Dante and Rocco as “family” because Drew and Jason (especially) are awful fathers.
