Ariana DeBose & Nancy Lee Grahn Mutual Admiration Society Revealed

Oscar winner, Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) was an inspired choice to host the 75th Annual Tony Awards which were broadcast this past Sunday on CBS.

During the Tonys, which honor the best of Broadway, DeBose sang, danced, delivered unexpected moments, and knew how to keep the three-hour telecast moving along.  For that, Ariana received high praise from many for her first primetime award show hosting gig.

One of DeBose’s admirers was none other than two-time Daytime Emmy winner, and a nominee again this year from General Hospital, Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis).  During the Tonya, Grahn had tweeted:If I ever needed 2b humbled as an actress (which working in Daytime for 36 yrs is nearly impossible) I’d simply watch 10 sec of @ArianaDeBose & know that I’ve no talent at all & just got lucky. #TonyAwards”

Now a few days later, looks like DeBose saw Nancy’s tweet and responded in kind, and surprised Grahn by revealing that she has been a fan of the soap favorite for a long time!

Ariana replied: You have no idea, how much I adore you, but I will humbly disagree with your assessment.  As a huge fan of yours for a very long time you ooze talent.”

To which, Nancy simply quote-tweeted:  “I’ve now died” (You can see the exchange below).

So, what do you think about Nancy and Ariana’s tweets to one another? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

that’s so awesome, hey Ariana, come visit port Charles I’m sure they welcome you with open arms for the nurses ball.

Fabulous idea! That would be soooo awesome if they could pull out all the stops and make that happen.

BTW, is there even going to be a Nurses Ball this year???

What a shock! This was the first TONY Awards show I’ve enjoyed in many years (for a long time it was my favorite awards). Ariana De Bose is simply magnificent. Her stunning work in WEST SIDE STORY was no fluke. She’s loaded with talent, poise, personality, and grace. She kept us interested all the way through. Patti LuPone’s win was another highlight for me. As for Nancy, well, it’s better to have a sincere exchange of admiration than jealous backbiting.

What lovely comments between Nancy and Ariana. Especially since they are representing two story genres that are so different. West Side Story 1 and the music is one of my all time favorites. Since I’m not on streaming will have to wait a while until the new version ycomes on a station I can view it on.

Women who support other women is very sexy and empowering.

Arianna totally rocked the TONYS! She is by far my favorite host to date. Her energy and poise throughout the show was amazing. Many hosts have been great but seem to lose steam halfway thorough. Not, Arianna. She was a powerhouse the entire night!

Ms. Grahn knows talent when she sees it and can spot it because she, like Arianna, is a powerhouse performer.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

Published

By

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”

Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.

Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Published

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.

The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.

As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL

Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)

According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”

Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.

Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.

In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.

Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
