Grey’s Anatomy Season 21, November 2024 Recap from Episodes 6-8 ahead of its mid-season break with new episodes set to resume from March to May 2025

by Admin

“Night Moves” begins with Teddy and Owen trying to rekindle their romance with a date night, but their plans are interrupted when Owen receives a call from the hospital. Meanwhile, Link and Jo struggle with stress and their relationship as they navigate work and parenting.

Simone casually tells Lucas that she loves him while he is gets into the elevator. Kwan then mocks her for saying that. Mika has been working a lot while taking care of her sister Chloe, who is now in chemotherapy. She is able, alongside Millin, to save Mr. Riley’s life and Mika earns the respect of her colleagues.

Kwan is inspired by his patients’ passion for music, decides to reach out Molly hoping to rekindle their relationship. He leaves a voicemail, leaving the outcome uncertain.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger with Mika falling asleep at the wheel after a long night shift while driving Chloe home. Chloe doesn’t notice this until the last second, but it’s too late. Her scream wakes Mika up, but then, the screen goes black.

“If you leave” begins with Kwan finding socks in his drawer that aren’t his so he goes to Simone’s room where’ she explains she no longer puts her clothes away. Then, he tries to find Mika, but she is absent. Meanwhile, the firefighters rescue both Mika and Chloe from the accident.

Meanwhile, Levi Schmidt jokes about his last day before moving to San Antonio, and as the day unfolds, both Mika and Chloe are admitted to the hospital. In the ER, both Teddy and Bailey work on Mika, who has multiple fractures and blunt trauma to her abdomen. They, with the help of Owen and Ndugu, perform a thoracotomy on Mika due to her perforated liver causing internal bleeding. The surgery is sucessful and Mika is stable and recovering in the ICU.

On the other hand, Chloe’s situations becomes critical due to complications from chemotherapy. X-rays showed multiple fractures in his legs and no blood reaching them so they did billateral fasciotomies to relieve the pressure. She then had a CT, which shows no injuries on her chest and abdomen, but showed a irregularity in her popliteal artery. Link plans ORIFs on her legs but during the surgery she starts bleeding heavily from her leg. Teddy is able to save the leg but Chloe dies after coding.

Levi quit his job and invites James to live with him and he agrees. Mika wakes up from her coma and starts crying after knowing that Chloe died.

“Drop it like it’s Hot” begins with the four interns observing Mika, who has been recovering from the accident and Chloe’s death and preparing to work on a scorching day. As she enter the clinic, Owen encounters Nora, who has been dealing with car troubles. The ER is really busy with heat-related illnesses. 

Mika is welcomed back by Bailey, and Amelia introduces Winston to Jackie, a patient who has serious health issues related to Marfan’s syndrome. As the day progresses, the ER is more flooded with patients than before.

Jo and Lucas go to a convenience store looking for ice but suddenly a masked man enters and hold Gladys at gunpoint. He tells her to open the register.

Back in the hospital, Amelia performs Jackie’s surgery, she clips an aneurysm and after she successfully completed the procedure, Jackie’s heart fails, leaving the surgeons speechless.

Personal relationships unfold: Winstons navigates his feelings for Skye and Mika struggles with her emotions regarding Chloe. She then decides to leave the hospital and shares a heartfel moment with Jules before leaving.

The episode ends with Owen offering Nora a ride while a struggle breaks out in the convenience store.

Post-Notes

In case you missed it, Grey’s Anatomy will be on a mid-season break with no new episodes until early March 2025.

It won’t be the same for some who just left the set of Sloan Grey midway through Season 21 but again, the show’s writers provided a proper ending ahead of the show’s yearly mid-season hiatus (there wasn’t one last year due to the strikes).

We begin with Jake Borelli whose character Levi Schmitt headed off to Texas after he appeared on Grey’s for over 100 episodes. Meanwhile, Midori Francis – as we know it – decided to move on after two seasons amid Mika’s unfortunate circumstances that to the death of her sister Chloe following their car crash.

For now, there’s still more Grey’s Anatomy to come before we will find out whether if they will get a series a series renewal or not at some point depending on their current time slot off the back on a wave of Ryan Murphy scripted shows like 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey as well as a possible new 9-1-1 Hawaii spin-off.

General Hospital Monthly Recap November 2024: Robert and Holly, trouble brewing to both Drew and even Michael, love is still in the air & one huge leap of escape

by Sports Benches

Goodbye November/Fall, Hello December/Winter to Port Charles as things are about to get busy and also messy for some but first, let’s look back from the best of November 2024 on General Hospital.

My number 1 moment of course belongs to Holly and Robert having overcame their issues when it comes to their newly discovered daughter in Sasha Gilmore. But hey, that would eventually do the trick when Robert decided to choose Holly for their unfinished business adventures together over Diane – I mean, how sweet!!

Then there was Jason Morgan punching his twin brother Drew in defense of Michael over Drew’s affair with Willow & Jason has done it without saying a single word – less talk, more action.

With Chad Duell now decided to leave the role of Michael, things will definitely change but probably for the worse unless the writers plan to move him out of town — since his grand plans to kick out Drew wouldn’t go well because his one-night affair with Sasha led to her pregnancy.

Lulu back in action right away even when she finally woke up from a four year coma but that’s because the person she first saw was someone who also previously put her in a coma following that floating rib explosion that she was in prior to her downfall.

When it comes to relationships other than Robert and Holly, not so much. Although you can point out the awkward and slow burner pairing between a star athlete and an intelligent student and artist in Kai and Trina. I also know the writers are pinning on Liz with Lucky after some trials a few months ago with the returning Ric, but then some fans aren’t buying the idea again unless it’s Jason. Here’s the word of advice, Liz would be best served as the single mother with her grown boys alone.

Plus, good to hear Lucas Jones being relieved when he thought he made his sister Sam die other than the fact that someone else has organised her medication wrong prior to her death. 

There’s Isaiah sticking around when he was there as a friend to Lucky & sure that will continue with Jordan Ashford on his radar. And Ava continues to be so regretful with her words the whole way through as if she been prepping a few public speaking lessons with Ric ahead of her trial v Kristina, we shall find out the verdict if this would pay off for Ric or not.

Golden State Warriors NBA 2015 Unaired sitcom pilot review by ABC & the then ABC Studios

by Sports Benches

Nearly 10 years ago, ABC commissioned a half-hour sitcom pilot based on the Golden State Warriors but that’s more to do with one of their players (at least in the fictional world). His name is Mo Gosego (Blondy Baruti’s first acting gig apparently), who barely understands a single thing both speaking English & playing Basketball, so they’ve hired a translator for him named Jason  – the high school language teacher. Jason is portrayed by Skyler Astin from the Pitch Perfect film franchise & also recently starred in CBS’s So Help Me Todd from 2022-24.

This player is such a colossal giant who stands at two metres tall when he first arrived at the San Francisco Bay Area from the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa – not exactly the journey that the late Dikembe Mutombo did a long time ago at age 21 from wanting to be a doctor to legendary NBA player – when the little kid was looking for the little blue ball after he dropped it down & Mo was standing as if he was the team’s Great Wall of China with a huge smile on his face. 

Cue that intro right there….

All he does though is just running around not knowing what he was doing while doing a hell lot other stuff that isn’t to do with Basketball at all. Here’s a list on his moments of action below:

  • He’s kinda obsessed with Game of Thrones when it comes to that satellite dish reference after his translator Jason puked during Mo’s first press conference;
  • Him singing a song in front of his team-mates dressed in a unicorn (that didn’t go well by the way);
  • Went on a day trip at Alcatraz and came back home in prison clothes along with eating a bread bowl of soup;
  • Watched a video of cows making noises on his laptop with his translator Jason the night before game day after they talked about Vince Diesel (yes, the Hollywood actor named Vin Diesel), having realised how tough was life living in America compared to Congo despite his language barriers barely speaking most English;
  • And he even punched his team-mate Derek in Jason’s defense when Mo found out that Derek tied Jason onto a wall-mounted hoop with duct tape and he wasn’t very happy about it while the Warriors would have lost the game by now already.

From Jason’s part, he still lives with his parents who also ran into trouble a few times much like his translator Mo. Yes, his relationship with his mom Bonnie is still close & supportive like those Ally McBeal nights they enjoyed a long time ago back in eighth grade according to his dad. 

But then his dad really wanted Jason to get a real job to live a real adult life that would mean also not trying to get back with Bridget (Caitlin Thompson) when she already have moved on with someone. 

Speaking of her portrayer, didn’t see much of Caitlin Thompson at all other than the photos Bridget had with Jason back in Africa, but interestingly enough Caitlin’s husband Dan Fogleman was actually one of the executive producers for that project.

Also, love how Warriors GM Don (Ving Rhames) was being tough on him every time he tries to touch a thing or two including the cheerleaders, as well as being advised about Mo’s $10K fine post-game following his punch against Derek as said above. Looks like Jason was firing him up but this is ain’t boxing as wrong contest & also wrong man too.

At the end of the day though, it’s all about just the two of us in both Jason and his translator Mo. From there, they walked into the press conference together as if they’re having a bromance already to talk about the trouble Mo’s been making not even before a minute of game time at the former Oakland Arena. Ironically, Warriors have since moved to the Chase Center in San Fran a few years later in 2019.

Maybe if that NBA sitcom project has been renamed with the title that isn’t much to do with the Golden State Warriors & more on them representing Golden State, then ABC might be able to give this a three-point shot towards the hoops. I mean, like what a brilliant funny story could’ve been if Mo was able to eventually learn his way towards being a star NBA player with the help of Jason – that would’ve give us such a big clue if Golden State was approved to become a full series order. 

But then some things from what we saw from this plot just doesn’t make sense or out of line unfortunately despite having a few laughs at times. As said, if they did a hell lot of training & all other fun scenes together other than that one little bit on the night before game day while laughing at zebra noises back in Africa, they should’ve said yes. 

They’ve made the right decision though and if you can’t get enough of Jason & Mo when time flies so fast, watch it while you can below.

Thoughts on ABC picking up a new medical drama project about a female fan who gets her wish to be part of the show as a Doctor called Vital Signs from Brian Tanen

by Sports Benches

One week ago, ABC has added another drama project in the works (most likely for season 25/26) alongside a completely new Hawaiian 9-1-1 spin-off called Vital Signs. 

So this is yet another medical drama but this time it’s all about someone named Emmy, who loves watching a medical show gets her wish to be part of a medical show as a doctor on Vital Signs, after being so unhappy with her life & wants to be inspired as one of the members on their medical staff. 

She loves seeing them save lives of patients while forging romantic relationships along the way – something we always see on TV as fans in real life.

Then one day, she is thrown into the deep end when Emmy is transported and has woke up at the hospital by surprise as a newly hired doctor, but having watched every episode of it, she knows what it takes to actually save lives that happens around the clock 24/7.

Just didn’t know it’s possible that you can perform to try save patients’ lives on a medical drama show like Emmy is doing after she being so inspired by it but not in the real world unless you apply and then get to be part of everything else reality TV that isn’t medical related like MasterChef (cooking), The Block (house/renovation), etc.

Although if you are medically qualified to practice and perform being a doctor, nurse or surgeon that would usually take place after years at Medical School, then yea, go for it. 

But hey, there’s one right there in the form of Vital Signs; yes, you can perform CPR while providing first aid as this is true without needing any qualifications. But when it comes to surgery and all other extreme cases to diagnose/fix, please don’t try this at home – not recommended.

Gotta say though this is the best yet to come if Vital Signs does make it to the pilot stage at some point within the year-long development guidelines.

Should the show be a series order at some stage, I guess they can be an excellent complement to Grey’s Anatomy if they stay on albeit at a new time slot like Sundays or have it aired on Wednesdays on its own or else come out mid-season in place of The Rookie if they don’t get an 8th series renewal at season’s end. 

That’s because Thursday nights would most likely be dominated by a slate of Ryan Murphy shows like 9-1-1, Doctor Odyssey and possibly 9-1-1 Hawaii since he and Disney have a great relationship together.

This project will be led by Brian Tanen, 20th Television and Kapital Entertainment after they saw ABC as the perfect fit ahead of other networks across different offers. 

Tanen worked with ABC before across multiple shows like Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Devious Maids (on Lifetime when it was originally rejected by ABC) and Grand Hotel which was attached under the former ABC Studios arm. 

Although he had his first touch with 20th TV in recent years when it comes to Love, Victor on Hulu that ran for three seasons & no doubt he will work with them again since 20th TV has now taken over ABC Signature. They will be one who will oversee most of the network’s future scripted both drama and sitcom projects going forward as time will tell sometime in 2025.

General Hospital Shortened Weekly Recap November 25-27, 2024: Lulu’s successful escape, Sasha now pregnant that could have a ripping affect between Michael, Drew & Willow and Ric all out to defeat Kristina at court for Ava

by Sports Benches

Didn’t know this week’s GH show was rarely short due to Thanksgiving public holiday tomorrow (a repeat episode) as well as College Football Friday by the show’s network property ABC in the USA. But anyways what we did learn in this three-day week slate of episodes from Port Charles?

Lulu is at it again this time able to get out of the Turning Woods clinic as if she was finally able to start that old car going and there she goes from place to place.

Didn’t know someone who just got out of a four year coma was preparing for something else like the New York Marathon, even though it will take time for her liver to get back up and running. Yes, maybe she thinks she wasn’t feeling good from someone who has put her life in danger from none other than Cyrus Renault as if she thinks she was locked up in Cassadine Island. 

He was the one who exploded the floating rib a few years ago despite being a changed man now after he served some time in jail with his faith in god & the bible.

But again, Lulu is living in the spirit of Sam after all back in action following her successful transplant. For Sam, there was nothing wrong though following the donor surgery other than a drug overdose being mismanaged unfortunately as per autopsy review. 

Then Lulu successfully hitchhiked a ride with Cody Bell before not only she broke into her good mate Maxie’s house with James West in it but she also later eventually went around the Quartermaine estate via overhearing Gio’s violin practice sessions & now her son Rocco became the first person who recognised her once she entered the Q mansion.

Speaking of the Q’s, there’s more than just Lulu with not one but two new babies coming our way in Port Charles.

One is Finn’s brother Chase who fell in love with Brook Lynn once again in bed as they are more than certain now of having a baby together. Meanwhile, Michael secretly recorded Drew the other day about Curtis in order to let Curtis know about the real truth that would pretty much kick Drew out of the Aurora Media family business for good. But again, that may backfire because Sasha Scorpio is now pregnant following his one-night stand with her out from a bar lately – oh my!

As per announcement from other day about Chad Duell leaving the show as Michael, looks like Michael will be out of town for a while; but like we are about to see with Finn and Liz, the Millow show would be bound to end at the right time.

And last but not least, we got a court case up and running between Kristina v Ava following their heated exchange back in August – this resulted in Kristina with not only suffering a few injuries but also lost the baby she’s been carrying for sister Molly & her partner TJ Ashford. 

But there’s one man out there who has been stealing the spotlight with extreme force as if he’s speeding at 200mph and it’s Molly’s dad Ric Lansing who is representing Ava as her lawyer. 

So sorry for Kristina having to be so emotional for nearly the whole time but then the judge let Ric say anything that could possibly let win his case for Ava in order to get what he wants. I know, but don’t have much confidence there for Kristina to pull off there unfortunately.

Oh, also going into next week, looks like Molly is having a breakdown with TJ that could mark the end of their relationship together. Also, the custody battle still goes on with one of Sam’s kids and all Drew wants is for Scout to be with him despite not being around all the time – good luck with that. And for the minute, Lucky is still holding onto the lead with Liz’s heart –  there’s still some sections of the fanbase being utterly disappointed with this once pairing again even after no more Finn. I don’t know what more do they want other than Jason again but maybe just let her live happily ever after only with her boys.

Thoughts on Chad Duell leaving General Hospital after 14 years as Michael Corinthos

by Sports Benches

Also from this morning, another of General Hospital’s long-time acting talents will be leaving Port Charles soon — his name is Chad Duell who has been playing the role of Michael Corinthos over the last 14 years that goes back to 2010. 

Unlike Kelly Monaco, this was his decision alone as he will be moving onto the next chapter of his life, especially being a father for a year now to his little boy with his Brazilian partner Luana Lucci.

Although his time on the show has been met with scheduling issues in recent years when Robert Adamson – through Noah from The Young & The Restless – has been filling in for him at times including this year and also back in 2022 when he had health issues related to COVID at the time.

It remains to be seen if Adamson will be part of GH going forward permanently or have someone else replace Chad or even worse have Michael being written off like they did to Kelly Monaco’s Sam.

We all know what Michael is known for his angry overreactions every time things happen to him for the worse that affects his family the most including him being betrayed by Willow for falling in love with his uncle Drew – despite her mom Nina also in a relationship with Drew thanks to him being a congressman, so he can look and feel good now that he has won the election. 

He may also try to get him out of the Aurora Media family business for good in collaboration with Curtis but we also know he has been sleeping at least one time with another woman from one of his previous lovers in Sasha and looks like he could unexpectedly yet get another baby that she may be carrying after their one-night stand together lately.

But whatever that may be, looks like it’s the beginning of the end of Millow soon enough. Although not holding by breath just yet when whoever also works with Mattsson  will be thrown into the deep end for the viewers feedback if the show does want to keep Michael alive by someone else at some point. The same will go with Adamson if he goes wish to go full-time as he’s been with Willow’s Katelyn MacMullen a few times but not so much with Mattsson. For now, we wish Chad the best of luck on life after Port Charles & will also miss his videos with Sonny’s Maurice Bernard too who is his on-screen father.

General Hospital Weekly Recap November 18-22: Who will look after Danny & Scout?, Lulu fighting straight out of a coma and the Ava v Kristina court case battle is now on

by Sports Benches

So what did we learn this week (between November 18-22) on General Hospital? There’s more post-Sam drama even after her funeral like the custody battle to look after Danny and Scout. 

But one thing for sure is that Jason will be moving into the Quartermaine mansion after all to care both of her kids and so would Dante and his kid Rocco, so they can stay all in the one place together – no matter how rich that mansion is because at the end of the day, they’re all family.

How good & sweet!

So that leaves Drew out of the picture altogether as yes, he is related through Scout as the father; but then we also know he’s on thin ice for the all wrong reasons in recent months like his affair with Willow – despite being with Nina because her husband is his nephew Michael. 

Thank god, it’s not happening as Drew will be off to Washington DC very soon following his election win – but with no guarantees though, more on that later.

Meanwhile, someone finally woke up out of a coma after four long years in the spirit of Sam’s liver upon Alexa Havins’s long-awaited debut, and it’s Lesley Lu “Lulu” Spencer. The first person she has seen and heard though was her uncle Cyrus Renault who she did not enjoy talking to back then when he was running a crime syndicate and he was also behind that floating rib explosion back in late 2020. Sure, he’s a changed man out of jail since then over the last year or two thanks to his huge devotion to God, Jesus and the bible. 

But then she doesn’t know for sure just yet when she faked herself going back into a coma for a bit before she actually tried to make her way out of a clinic as if she’s in jail that a changed Cyrus actually arranged to help his niece get back into life. Like her mom Laura and her dad Luke, she did show extreme bravery like a true Spencer even though she fell herself on the ground once — as yes, things will take time to get back on track before she can find her way out physically. 

However, based on these preview photos for the show’s upcoming episodes, it looks like Lulu is back in action & smiling as a healthy adult woman once again. Okay yes, we can say all we want about Kelly Monaco but again, we hope she will get another acting job.

Speaking of the Spencer family clan, Lucky is still not sure whether if he wants to go back to Africa or not by sticking around a bit longer with Liz by his side. He will be reunited with Lulu any minute from now, as well as spending a bit more time via his child that Liz shares in Aiden. 

Also going back earlier, it also looks like Michael’s grand plans to expose Drew with Curtis may backfire when Sasha has a pregnancy test kit in her handbag after she finished having breakfast with her newly-discovered & extended Scorpio family like Felicia and Mac at Bobbie’s Diner, and she may be carrying the baby with Michael’s fingerprints on it off the back of their one-night stand lately. 

Looks like the Millow show is hanging in the balance after all finally in my opinion as who gets out first? Watch this space.

Elsewhere, it’s still a slow burner between Trina Robinson & another African-American person Kai Taylor. She’s still not impressed with how Kai has been making excuses after excuses with her favoured art project when he’s still an extremely gifted-talented athlete in College Football & has a 24/7 time table. He’s not that bad though as Josslyn is right, don’t jump the gun too soon — and they seem to have something in common together after all, which is them not being able to sleep that much.

Although again as always said with the current potential Liz and Trina love pairings, just gonna leave that there.

And the Kristina v Ava court case begins next week with Ric representing Ava as her lawyer while Alexis despises him for walking into her property earlier this week – despite him dropping off for the daughter they share together in Molly.

Will Ava go to jail for letting Kristina trip that piece of luggage bag and then got fallen off a window that resulted the baby’s death Kristina’s been carrying for her sister? or is it rather Kristina who shouldn’t gone to her first and then didn’t know something so worse after that fall?

Maybe the script Ava’s been practising might do the trick but Kristina though has been suffering for far too long that affected her loved ones both physically & mentally. 

We’ll find out soon enough that could either see Ava take over everything or Kristina walk away with maybe nothing including Molly or somehow victorious after all & Sonny able to look after Avery 100% with a safe pair of hands.

General Hospital Weekly Review November 11-15, 2024: More Drew Cain madness, more competition up for grabs for a shot at love & one happy ending with Robert & Holly

by Sports Benches

What have we’ve learned this week between November 11-15 on the General Hospital soap? I love seeing Robert reunite with Holly to make up lots of lost time before they head off overseas together after we’ve discovered lately that they’re parents after all to Sasha Gilmore aka Miss Scorpio. I, for one, would love to see the whole family get along together for one big occasion including Ethan if Sasha can at least settle her differences aside from her newly-discovered mom when Holly and Robert get back to Port Charles at some stage. For Diane, felt sorry for her but that’s soaps & sure she will get a new man soon.

Meanwhile, as everyone said, Drew got what he deserved with another punch to his face thanks to his twin brother “Stone Cold” Jason Morgan, all because he keeps on constantly banging on his nephew’s wife Willow while also in a relationship with her mom Nina. 

The good news that Drew is off to Washington D.C now that he won the election lately in place of the late senator Larry McConkey who unfortunately passed away a few months ago over a heart attack while out of town, so he won’t have to anything about it to Willow. However, the bad news is will this effectively end the marriage between Michael and Willow? 

For me personally, yes; but they’re both married remember with two little children together in Wiley and Amelia. It’s going to be difficult for them to go their separate ways unfortunately unless the show decides to do something about it and that would take a bigger effort to see them get divorced while they would have to settle for a child-custody agreement to spend time with their kids. Therefore, the Millow couple show will go on at least for a bit longer.

Plus, looks like Trina has a new man on her radar now and this time it’s someone similar to her African-American background rather than like the ever popular Spencer Cassadine – his name is star College Football Quarterback player (not soccer) Kai Taylor.

I know Trina looks irate who thinks he should take his academic work more seriously much like his athletic career. But hey, he’s a gifted-athletic star in the making whom everyone likes and surely, Trina at some point may as well get along with him or maybe not? We’ll see but looks like it will be a slow burner for a start before the lovebirds would potentially begin for both Kai Taylor & Trina Robertson where one is athletically gifted and talented and another is also talented but only in the academic side of things. I will not give my say on this though since I used to enjoy watching “Sprina” when I first watched GH back in August 2021 and still am everyday as hope is all well with Josslyn’s portrayer Eden McCoy.

Speaking of love, who is winning the hearts of Liz Webber-Baldwin also? Don’t know but looks like still Laura’s boy Lucky Spencer has the lead upfront, even though he still wishes to go back to Africa and Liz wasn’t thrilled every single bit about it – especially at the expense of Aiden whom they share a child together. 

Also judging by her character’s comments, looks like not all Liz fans are happy to see them pair up together again unlike once upon a time during the golden late 90s-early 2000s. There’s still some #FreeLiz hashtags across the board even when Michael Easton left as Finn several months ago as yes, Liz still got the lead in some parts. But again, maybe a Liason reunion with Jason would be more like it though as likewise with the Kai-Trina pairing, I’m just going to leave that there.

Going into next week in the wake of Sam’s death, there will be a funeral as well as Lulu finally out of a coma for the first time in four years following that floating rib place explosion. Will we also see the other Davis sisters Molly and Kristina get back on track together after all this in-fighting in recent times? I can see this for a start from the other day when Kristina brought a birthday gift for Molly at Bobbie’s Diner, but I’m not entirely sure when Molly’s dad is Ric and Kristina’s dad is Ric’s brother Sonny alongside Mom Alexis. 

This upcoming court case between Kristina v Ava (represented by Ric) will determine their fate as sisters together.

And oh, also good to see Isaiah Gannon there too who is set for a longer stay in Port Charles with some more love alongside the city’s Deputy Mayor in Jordan Ashford after he was offered a job at the hospital as a surgeon – despite operating on Sam alongside her brother & fellow surgeon Lucas lately to save Lulu.

Thoughts on ABC’s early 2025 schedule for mid-season with new show premieres, season resumption and season finale dates revealed

by Sports Benches

There was a huge announcement about ABC’s mid-season schedule beginning in January 2025 and finally not only we will have season premieres for some new shows both reality & scripted but also season resumptions and season finale dates for some already booming content as well. 

Comedy/Sitcoms

Let’s start with the comedy side and it looks like Tim Allen’s brand new show Shifting Gears will kick off Wednesdays at 8pm starting January 8th followed by the ever popular Abbott Elementary to round off the hour at 8.30pm. Then 9 & 10 pm slows will be taken by both Celebrity Jeopardy and the already returning What Would You Do? social experiment show.

What does it mean for The Conners? Well looks like their six-episode journey towards the finish line for season 7 will begin around the Spring time in March. 

This is interesting as maybe we will get to see all three sitcoms after all while they can always throw in another version of The Bachelor franchise if they like or else have a bit of Steve Harvey airtime (total of 90 minutes) like it was earlier this year.

Oh, it’s also nice to see the updated Shifting Gears logo that is good for TV now this is set for takeoff not long from now. You can see the pilot version of the show above before their full season approval by the network not long later. 

Drama

Looks like High Potential and Doctor Odyssey will get a second half season run since their new shows have been going relatively well. HPI to be back in action to solve crimes straight after Christmas and New Year where they will be sandwiched between mid-season premieres of Will Trent and The Rookie at 9pm since Dancing With The Stars have already finished with their year by now. Who would love a full night of dramedys? Everyone asked and ABC has delivered it in return.

Plus, Doctor Odyssey, 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy as part of the Thursday band will be back to empty the tank from early March to around mid-late May as usual.

Everything else?

Yes, Monday night will be seen differently other than a new season of The Bachelor at 10pm, with one coming out the Hulu unscripted library called The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. There’s still no premiere yet for Celebrity Wheel of Fortune for Pat Sajak’s final wheel as host but looks like it will either be on Monday or Wednesday for the spring cycle. Again, maybe Wednesdays would be a good time to roll off both on a high going into mid-2025 on Pat’s Celebrity Wheel (will be expected to continue next season under everywhere man Ryan Seacrest) and The Conners. 

And if that’s not enough, we finally see the season premiere reveals for a number of other new unscripted shows. The revival of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will be home on Thursdays for at least two months starting January 2 & the long-awaited Docuseries Scamanda will finally begin from January 30 until the usual Thursday scripted gang takes over again.

Then we will get to see which next new comedy and drama shows will be up for pilot or maybe straight-to-series when these projects usually hit within the year-long development mark also going into early next year as most future studio ties will be under 20th Television going forward having recently took over ABC Signature. We shall find out until then including the possibility of an all-new 9-1-1 spin-off (not FOX’s Lone Star) specifically for ABC that could take place from Hawaii.

General Hospital Weekly Review November 4-8, 2024: Still more tributes for Sam, another set of love affairs & one warehouse explosion

So what we did look back this week (November 4-8) on General Hospital? 

Everyone in Port Charles is still mourning the loss of Sam McCall even though her surgeon brother Lucas Jones felt guilty about it when he recently performed surgery on his sister to save Lulu with that liver transplant before things went horribly wrong after Sam died over a heart attack/cardiac arrest. But as we all know, this has already been tied up to her portrayer’s sad exit in Kelly Monaco – that’s all we can say. We still also don’t know when Alexa Havins will have her first on-air scenes as the recasted & now recovered Lulu, but it’s been a while since this announcement.

Sidwell is back after all this time in Port Charles to steal Sasha away because she’s related to her newly discovered mom Holly Sutton, so he can try get these diamonds back. Although he was happy to receive them when Jason Morgan came in on her behalf to save Sasha, there still wasn’t a lot of time left as he and his men set the timer up ahead of the warehouse bomb explosion. Yes, it did explode but fortunately, glad to hear that they’re both safe and sound as don’t know where Sidwell went with this. Like any other relationship, time will tell if Sasha will accept Holly for who she is so they can start over again as mom and daughter.

Meanwhile, looks likely than ever that it’s the end of Michael and Willow – despite having a good young family together with two little kids. She has been having an affair with Drew quite a while and yet another emotional breakdown after his daughter Scout lost her mom Sam, they decided to fall in love once again this time upstairs in the Quartermaine mansion. 

They think they’re trying their best to keep it to themselves but Michael did see this unfortunately with huge anger when he saw the clip off a baby monitor app. 

Lots of soap couples come and go remember, so keep an eye on this one soon enough. Maybe Michael would go back with Sasha amid rumours of Sasha carrying that new baby after their one night stand last week and Willow should go with someone else (please not Drew!).

And last but not least, great to hear that Dr. Finn – even off-screen – is doing fine with his daughter Violet over in Seattle after he completed his 90-day rehab program. Chase and Brook Lynn talked about this as now it’s a good time to finally start their own family with kids together.
