Every General Hospital 2025 Nurses Ball Performance Ranked
General Hospital's Nurses Ball may have been missing a few things this year — like some beloved characters and a half-naked Lucy — but what it had plenty of was memorable performances! Here is every 2025 Nurses Ball performance, ranked.
Let's start off with an honorable mention: Anna (Finola Hughes) and Chase's (Josh Swickard) Tango… that didn't happen. The PCPD pair were supposed to dance, accompanied by Gio (Giovanni Mazza), but the real entertainment happened when Gio's violin came to an abrupt stop and he made the big reveal that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) are his parents.
There may be no opening act that could top the famous 'Welcome to the Nurses Ball,' so watching beloved nurses like Amy (Risa Dorken), Deanna (Dioni Michelle Collins), and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) sing fell a bit short. The only thing that saved this act was Isaiah's portrayer Sawandi Wilson whacking out his lesser-known breakdancing talent on-screen.
Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Trina (Tabyana Ali) have performed at Nurses Balls past, and this year, the best friends joined together for a powerful duet. Singing 'I'll Be With You,' the girls took turns singing lines, and we viewers couldn't help but be reminded of who they've both thought lost. While it wasn't the most exciting performance of the ball, Joss was certainly singing to Dex (Evan Hofer) and Trina was certainly singing to Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez, who you can catch doing a live performance of his own this summer).
From Rick Springfield (Noah) to ___, GH Nurses Balls have been known for their special guests. This year, it was Australian singer YDE, who performed her original 'Old Her.'
We all remember the closing act song 'You're Not Alone,' but this year, the ball had a different idea for the finale. To close out the show, Port Charles' next generation took to the stage with 'I'll Be There.' Although it wasn't until after Donna (Scarlett Spears), Wiley (Viron Weaver), Georgie (Lily Fisher), Scout (Cosette Abinante), and James (Gary James Fuller) sang that things really took a shocking turn.
Reminiscent of the classic 1995 'Midnight Train to Georgia' performance from Mary Mae (Rosalind Cash) and her 'pips,' Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), Luke (Anthony Geary), and Justus (Joseph C. Phillips), Chase bringing his singer side back for the ball somehow wasn't the most unexpected part of this act. The surprise came when Isaiah, Cody (Josh Kelly), and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) joined in as his backup singers and dancers. Dante's Nurses Ball debut certainly outshined the other men, if you ask us.
The hit song, the theming, and the ensemble of GH vets made this a classic Nurses Ball performance any long-time viewer loved to see. While it was originally supposed to be led by Tracy (Jane Elliot), due to her arrest, Anna, Lucy (Lynn Herring), and Felicia (Kristina Wagner) snagged a last-minute replacement who is no stranger to the stage: Spinelli (Bradford Anderson). Anderson has always been known as the one who performs his songs live instead of recording them prior, and his talents once again shone in Port Charles as he sang 'Boots Are Made For Walkin'.' If only he referred to them as the regrettably pink boots!
From the moment we found out about this year's Nurses Ball, we knew the real-life violinist would bring his talents to the NB stage. Gio performed 'Glow,' going from classical to downright rave-like when he hit the stage with his instrument, wowing the people of Port Charles and all of us at home.

Woman Adopts Two Rescue Sister Cats, What Happens in First Week Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A newly adopted pair of cat sisters have melted hearts on social media after a heartwarming video of their first week in their new home went viral. The clip shared on TikTok on Saturday, under the username @lillylucysisters, shows the two tabby cats, Lilly and Lucy, curled up in their owner's arms, purring with joy as they nap there together. "Imagine adopting two rescue sister cats... and this happens in the very first week. Can you imagine what my heart feels like?" reads layover text in the clip. And a caption says: "My heart was exploding." Adopting two cats from the same litter is a big decision that can go either way. They can provide each other with companionship and prevent loneliness, though this depends on their individual personality. A Catster article, medically reviewed by Dr. Maja Platisa, explains that kittens from around three to four weeks of age tend to get along up until they reach social maturity, between two and five years, after that things can change. Sister cats may bond closely or prefer solitude, with some engaging in cuddling and grooming, and others merely tolerating each other. Brother cats often compete for leadership. They can either become inseparable or have endless conflicts. The advantages of adopting two kittens from the same litter include having constant companionship, entertainment, warmth, and grooming, but most importantly always having a play mate by their side. To keep tension between them at bay, make sure they each have their own litter-boxes, and food and water bowls. You can also use pheromones to make the atmosphere in the house more chilled for them.

Just so you know, this is actually really dangerous because your heart may actually melt and/or cease to beat at the proper rhythm because of how sweet they are. Be careful!!" Rachcondi added: "This is all I want from my non affectionate cat but she looks at me like she is plotting my death." Newsweek reached out to @lillylucysisters for comment via email.

Book Review: Desi Arnaz biography highlights triumphs of Lucy's favorite foil
Once a second banana, always a second banana when in the shadow of a brighter star. For musician and actor Desi Arnaz, that shadow belonged to Lucille Ball, his wife and co-star on the ground-breaking 1950s sitcom 'I Love Lucy.' Etched in television history are the images of Lucy falling on her rear while stomping grapes at a winery, Lucy overwhelmed by a conveyor belt of chocolates, and Lucy acting nonchalant as movie star William Holden lights up her fake nose instead of her cigarette. Desi seems as important as the cone is to the ice cream. Not only was Arnaz his wife's straight man, he endured non-stop mocking of his Cuban heritage on screen and off. In fact, he was a rare Latino on American screens, big and small, and played a successful husband and father, not a gangster or peon. His character achieved some degree of immortality in the catchphrase, 'Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!' 'Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television,' Todd S. Purdum's deeply researched, insightful and enjoyable biography, gives Arnaz his due as an entertainer and a savvy businessman. With help, Arnaz envisioned, assembled and led the transformation that provided early television production its bedrock. Arnaz (1917-1986) was the only child of a prominent family in Santiago, his father the mayor and a member of the Cuban national assembly. The 1933 revolution forced the privileged family to flee to the United States — their home set on fire, their cattle herd slaughtered and the father jailed for months. Arnaz spoke little English when he began attending high school in Miami and took any kind of work to earn some money. Show business was an unlikely pursuit given that Arnaz couldn't read music, but the handsome and energetic young man could sing and play guitar and the conga drum. Soon he was working in New York with the popular band leader Xavier Cugat and turning the conga line into a dance craze. He was cast in a 1939 Broadway musical, 'Too Many Girls,' and sent to Hollywood for the film version. At RKO studios, he met his future wife and co-star, then a veteran of dozens of uncredited and supporting roles and struggling to break out. Had either Arnaz or Ball been more successful in films in the 1940s, they would not have turned to the newborn medium of television. Had their marriage not been rife with problems — mainly their separate careers plus his womanizing and drinking — Ball might not have demanded that Arnaz be cast when her radio show, 'My Favorite Husband,' was transferred to TV in 1951. In that sense 'I Love Lucy' was designed to save their marriage. The show turned out to be the innovative outlet Arnaz needed. The industry norm was a show broadcast live in New York sans audience and recorded with a film camera pointed at a TV monitor. Arnaz insisted that 'Lucy' episodes be filmed before an audience in Los Angeles. Film meant higher image quality and that episodes could be shown at any time and later repeated — the idea of a 'rerun' was new — and sold for syndication around the country and the world. Three cameras worked in sync and the show was presented like a play. An audience necessitated a redesigned studio placing seats in bleachers for an unobstructed view. All this became the new standard for a situation comedy and jump-started the move of television production from East Coast to West Coast. Arnaz didn't create the machinery, but he did oversee the operation, hire the right people and lead the charge. With 'I Love Lucy' a hit — it was the first TV show to reach 10 million homes, about two in three TV sets in the U.S. — their company Desilu expanded to produce other programs and rented space to even more. By the end of the 1950s Desilu was the biggest studio in the world in terms of hours of filmed entertainment. With sympathy but open eyes Purdum chronicles Arnaz's descent into alcoholism, which sapped his creative energy and the goodwill he had established over the years. Arnaz also could not control his sexual drive, especially his desire for prostitutes. The combination of booze, adultery and fiery outbursts finished his career and marriage, destroyed his health, and broke him financially. Ball, meanwhile, had career challenges of her own — she couldn't move beyond her Lucy persona — but she was wise enough when it came to handling her money. As the head of Desilu, having bought out her husband in 1962, she gave the greenlight for two television series that resonate today, 'Star Trek' and 'Mission: Impossible.' When she sold the studio in 1967, the on-screen ditzy redhead walked away with what today would be $100 million. America's favorite make-believe couple in the 1950s each married again. Yet they were never out of each other's life completely, due in large part to their two children and extended families, some business interests and a unique professional legacy. Their undying affection for each other needs no 'splainin' at all. ___
