General Hospital
Cameron Mathison’s Wife, Vanessa, to Appear on General Hospital
In an intriguing casting twist, General Hospital’s Cameron Mathison’s (Drew Cain) real-life wife, Vanessa will appear on the ABC daytime drama series playing the role of an executive life coach named Mia who crosses path with Drew.
According to the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, look for Vanessa to drop in to GH on the upcoming April 20th episode.
This is not the first time that Cameron and Vanessa have shared some screen-time together. During Mathison’s run as co-host of Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family Vanessa appeared a few times from 2018-2020.
Then, back in 2015, Vanessa appeared as herself in the reality series, Cameron’s House Rules.
Now the question becomes, why does Drew need an executive life coach and what words of wisdom will Mia impart on him? Stay tuned!
So, what do you think of Vanessa coming to Port Charles? Comment below.
Fun!
Oh great, now I can fall asleep to both Ken AND Barbie. I wish they’d make Smoltz a regular and get rid of all the models who bore me to tears.
Sheis beautiful
Really? Her face is too long and asymmetrical. Just sayin’
Smoltz is a sad ripoff of Spinelli’s character! Smoltz must go!
Worse than that… he looks like Whiny Heiny with glasses.
Yeah—Italian saying–“Fra lui e lei, scegliere non saprei–sono senza sapore”–the meaning is typically lost in translation, but I shall try–” it’s hard to choose between one and the other–they both su€k–no flavor”.
Aside—autocorrect also su€ks. Asymmetrical.
Oh Celia, I’m 3/4 Italian but yours is way better than mine. BTW, since they’re literally hiring “everyone and their brother” these days, I have a second cousin who needs a job.
LOL—My in-laws are all Italian immigrants with the exception of my husband, his siblings and his cousins. I made a point of learning the language, inside and out, in order to communicate with my husband’s grandparents.Contrary to popular belief, Italian grammar is very difficult with many exceptions. It seems easy because every letter is pronounced as seen, but the grammar? French and Spanish are much easier to learn, albeit compared to said languages, English is a piece of cake. English is also very illogical. My husband’s grandfather is baffled by the “ph” combination–such as the word “phone”— He said, “Perche’ non usano semplicemente f”?” —“why not simply use “f”?”–too funny–and so on, and so forth!! LOL.
You’re right, soon enough, GH will be comprised of all family members–
Smoltz would need some moral redemption, but the actor is very good and very cute in a nerdy, “let me take off your glasses” kind of way. Lord knows the show needs an injection of life and Sam/Dante sure ain’t it.
Soaphound
I thought it was just me! I see some potential there. Maybe Alexis can re-invent him or whatever??
Well, I like Ken and Barbie—LOL. But these two don’t even come close. I have never liked Mathison in any role—even his voice grates on my nerve endings.
I’m with you all the way, whynot!!
Celia, that’s what I’m always saying. It’s the voice! He’s not a bad actor and I could see how some find him attractive, though he’s not my type. But the voice sounds strangled, like the old Mickey Rooney “Andy Hardy” movies. I half expect Mathison to say, “Hey gang, let’s meet back at the tree house!” Oh Billy M., where are you? Speaking of Billys, how militantly repulsive is the Billy Abbott character now?! That plop-cast, sorry, podcast…it makes JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL seem like Shakespeare. My lampshades are more eloquent.
Meh – is this what GH does now?
LW’s boyfriend
MB’s son
Cameron’s wife
MB’s son for 1 episode. Cam’s wife for 1 episode (or a few). Get a grip.
Oh, she beautiful!
Did I really say that? I could have sworn I said Carly would be at a disadvantage next to her.
Who cares. GH writers are trying to get this show canceled.
Diana…I was thinking the exact same thing. Thank You.
Who Knows,All I know is that they need to finish up some of these other storylines before starting yet another one. I am a faithful viewer but I am losing Intrest! especially with this whole Nina/ Mike thing and the whole Who is Ninas daughter scenario….So many great Actors who don’t get enough air time it’s always the same actors on screen. I am sure you all can do better, Most of the storylines are horrible and so much sadness.
Agree agree and agreed. GH is now “bring any family member to work” day.
What is truly sad is the under used legacy characters… and sad how when a big story wraps up… not much is waiting in the wings.
i agree get rid of nina esma please dont bring nelle back if you dont do some changing i am goi g to dtop watching Gh been watching it since it aired you need to stop the same old plots
wow can she take on such a powerful role
If this move helps to bring some life to the walking mannequin playing Drew these days, then bring her on! Mr. Mathison is proving once again, in this role, that he is a talent-free lightweight.
Boy…lots of personal negatives on actors and characters on this story. Hoping we were getting past that. It’s really hard for any new or replacing actor to come onto GH without criticism of some sort. And by the way, I’ve always liked Cameron, and have even enjoyed him on Hallmark.
Plz Nik and Spencer they both playing esme ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️So yes navaa sad will ge on the same page bc we all know Spencer playing esme Nik probably is too
I hope somebody get rid of Ryan as well on GH it time for his storyline to end bc they are all the same thing nothing new Ava doesn’t want him like he ever had her to begin with I hope somebody get rid of him as well as esme I don’t like him as villian not a very good Peter is a good one and Chris nelle was good as welll as for the rest nope
I will miss Harmony when and if she’s caught and sent to prison. She’s a good actor and interesting the way she just “takes care of her victims” as they come along and she does ugly so well, the way she looks at them with a horrible scary look.I would have had more sympathy for Willow if they hadn’t turned her into a snotty little twit, perfect for Michael. She and Nina didn’t like each other or get along when Willow was Charlotte’s teacher, can just imagine what it will be like when it all comes out, especially finding out that Nell was her twin.

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