This Week on ‘Celebrity Family Feud’: General Hospital vs. The Young and the Restless (First Look Photos)
This Thursday, July 31st brings the highly-anticipated episode of Celebrity Family Feud, featuring cast members from General Hospital against cast members from The Young and the Restless.
Host Steve Harvey will navigate the battle of the soap operas in the second half of the show, while DJ superstar and music producer, Diplo goes up against Laverne Cox in the first-half. It all begins on ABC beginning at 8pm ET and streams the next day on Hulu.
In some of the first look photos promoting the episode, General Hospital is represented by Finola Hughes (Anna Devane), Donnell Turner (Curtis Ashford), Rena Sofer (Lois Cerullo), Tanisha Harper (Jordan Ashford) and Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos). The team from The Young and the Restless is comprised of Bryton James (Devon Hamilton), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson), Lauralee Bell (Christine Blair), Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers) and Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman).

When the promo was revealed for the 11th season of Celebrity Family Feud, it contained a moment where GH’s Rena Sofer is answering the question: “Name something your mate’s booty has in common with the basketball.” Rena said, “It bounces.” No doubt, we will see this moment in context when the two soaps battle it out.
Meanwhile, back in May, Finola Hughes visited Live with Kelly and Mark, where we learned she was the GH team captain on Celebrity Family Feud, and had trouble with the game buzzer, but recalling that both teams were in it to win it, Hughes shared, “We were definitely feuding. ”

In addition, from these first look pics, Y&R’s Joshua Morrow looks to be playing a final round of “Fast Money,” but is he? There is no word yet, which charities each soap opera was playing for, or what the outcome was, but stay tuned!
The following week on August 7, will see former ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star, Kyle Richards battling it out with singer/songwriter/actress Kandi Burruss-Tucker followed by members of the NFLPA (National Football League Players Association) Offense and NFLPA Defense facing off.

Team Y&R for the sole reason there are more actors I enjoy rather than the GH team.
On the Y&R team I like Egan, Bell & Morrow. In the GH team I only care about Hughes & Sofer.
So I’m rooting for Y&R, although in all honesty, I’m pretty certain I won’t be watching.
I’m old enough to remember Melody Thomas Scott being a game show BEAST in the 1980s!
Funny. Looking at the Y& R lineup makes me want to yawn. Cricket? Chelsea? And Duh Yawn? Possibly the dullest characters in daytime history.
“In all honesty, I’m pretty certain I won’t be watching.” Then why comment at all? You felt compelled to write 2 seperate posts about a game show you won’t be watching while also insulting the intelligence of an actor from GH. Highly obnoxious. In any case, this sounds really fun! I like to see the soap actors as themselves, letting their guard down, having some laughs while not playing a part. I WILL be watching!
Enjoy, hunty!
Don’t be a douche.
Interesting how Benard is the “Star” of the show but last in the lineup probably because he’s not the brightest bulb in the lineup…. at least when it comes to game shows. Just an observation…
Please show us your IQ test results.
Pretty low fruit to take shots at actors you do not know other than what you see on TV
Your user name speaks volumes.
Enjoy, hunty!
Discorules must mean “a silly troll”
If you listened to Maurice Benard’s podcast,” State of Mind,” you’d know he is quite intelligent and insightful.
Bo-ring!
Actually, having a bright panelist towards the end of the line is not a bad strategy. This person has to come up with a popular answer that hasn’t been mentioned by the four other members of his team. That’s not a job for a dunce.
I’m a devoted Young and Restless fan and I really hope that they win/won the game!!
I could care less who wins (I’m lying, I want GH to win) but it looks like they had fun, its nice seeing the cast from these show hanging out for a good cause, and Original Nina will be fun to see interacting with her ex GH costars, Her character was best buddy with Curtis whom they seem to be going up against each other but wouldn’t it have been more fun if she spar with Maurice whom if she would of stuck around longer she would played sonny wife.
I can guarantee (nearly 100%) that the Nixon Falls storyline would not have happened with Stafford in the role. Watros had the subtleties and nuances to play Nina in that situation. Staffford’s delivery would not gel with Bernard’s.
I should have you pick out my lottery numbers next time since you’re such a fortune teller.
06 17 33 49 55 20
Since you asked. Not sure what you were aiming at. But, come on, could you really see Stafford & Benard together?
Need the Kelce family on the show

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.
