Dancing with the Stars All-Stars has now aired on all parts of the U.S. and after each of the five remaining couples performed two dances in the semi-final round tonight, the competition is very close!

Our favorite couple General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco (Sam) and her dance partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, did not start out too well after the first dance which was a “Surfer Tango”.   Many felt the highlight of this dance was Val in a Speedo! When the judges weighed in, Bruno said Kelly was upstaged by the Speedo, and her placement wasn’t there!  The duo scored a 25.5 after the first round of dancing, landing them at the bottom of the leaderboard.

However, Kelly and Val were the last couple to dance, and for their final dance of the evening they rumba’d to the music of Michael Jackson’s, “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.”   Talk about sexy!  It was steamy and yet beautiful to watch!  And while Val felt that they deserved “10’s” the duo scored 9.5’s across the board from the judges giving them a 28.5.

At the end of the night, Kelly and Val tied with Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke for the total lowest score on the leaderboard with a combined total of 54.    At the top, however, was Derek Hough and Shawn Johnson with 59 , followed by Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani with 57.5, and then Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina Smirnoff with 57.  There is a double elimination on tomorrow’s night’s Results Show! 

So soapers, did you vote tonight for Kelly and Val?  Who do you think should be going home on tomorrow night’s double elimination?  Let us know!

All my votes went to Kelly & Val! Hoping his sexy speedo & passion propelled them to the finals. Come on GH fans vote online NOW!

Sorry but I voted mostly for Derek and Shawn I did vote for Kelly but I am afraid she and Emmett are leaving Tuesday

I voted for Shawn & Derek too! They are the best dancers & if they don’t win, something’s wrong!

I just voted for Kelly and Vall. Great job!

It is genuinely sad how the judges truly show favoritism, as it is the same couples week after week who they drool over. Even when “the chosen” make mistakes, which the judges very briefly brush over, they still score 9’s and 9.5’s, but Kelly and Val are often highly praised and still get lower scores. I am not blinded by my like for Kelly and Val either, as when they do not do quite as well as some of the others, I get it (I was not blown away with their first performance last night, but thought the second truly deserved 10’s). I hope Kelly and Val make it into the finals (my fingers are crossed), but if they do not, they truly did an amazing job and have much to be proud of. If they do not make it (and I want them to), I am rooting for Tony and Melissa – they can pull off the same high flying moves that Shawn can without the gymnastics background (and Kelly does well in that area too). Good Luck Kelly and Val, and here’s hoping we can enjoy the two of you in the finals !!!!!

I really like and enjoy all five remaining contestants, hate to see any of them leave. BUT all my votes went to Kelly and Val. 🙂

I love Kelly and Val but I think Shawn Johnson is so talented so my bet is on her or Melissa Rycroft winning this. The top 3 tonight should be Apolo, Shawn & Melissa. Sorry Kel & Emmitt – you’re good, but they’re great!

I hope Kelly & Val aren’t eliminated tonight !! She is so pretty & I like her moves & alfits to boot!!! Cross your fingers GH fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I voted for Kelly and Val on all my phones! Hope they stay for the Finals!!!

I thin Emmit needs to go home. I love Kelly and Val. Kelly has shown more imiprovement than anyone on the show. Shswn’s gymnastics are cute, but not so much dancy. I sure hope Kelly and Val make it to the finals. I agree that the judges have short changed them so many times. Go Kelly and Val!!!

Judges have really been making me angry when it comes to Kelly. She has a flawless dance and gets at the MOST 9.5, yet when Apolo slips or Shawn throws out the rulebook or Melissa seems to not throw herself into the dance, they get 10s. I find it absurd and if Kelly goes home, I will not blame her, Val, or America- I’ll blame Len, Bruno, and Carrie Ann because of their favoritism and horrible critiques. Kelly has shown the most improvement, her and Val show how passionate they are in every dance, not to mention Kelly does more technically challenging dances than staying safe like her competitors.

Thank god…and the fans…Kelly made it through to the finals!
I am so happy that Apolo and Emmitt finally are gone. Nice guys, but they didn’t deserve to go on.

WOW!!
Kelly and Val are in the Finals!! Emmit and Apollo are eliminated. Great news!!

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

Published

on

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.

Take a look at the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3
Jason makes a sacrifice for Danny. Elizabeth becomes privy to a secret. Carly is touched. Valentin has a warning for Nina. Josslyn cautions Brennan.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 4
Brook Lynn and Chase celebrate a milestone. Trina gets an earful. Carly’s plan backfires. Curtis is skeptical. Michael is anxious about his family’s’ future.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5
Sonny wants answers. Ava is struck with inspiration. Curtis’ trial begins. Brook Lynn wrestles with a big decision. Lucy and Serena scheme.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 6
Sonny makes a stunning announcement. Serena makes her move. Willow faces a new threat. Isaiah takes the stand. Lucy questions Laura.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7

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.
