Emily Wilson whose last episode of General Hospital aired today, took time to address her fans and followers on Twitter for supporting her in the role of Ellie Trout! In story, Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) leaves town with Ellie and baby, Georgie to Portland!
Emily shared: “Blessed to be a part of the General Hospital family. It was incredible, and I feel so fortunate to have spent some time in Port Charles! Thank you so much for the kind words, support, and love! You are all amazing, and you mean the world to me! THANK YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART!”
Look for Emily to next appear on an episode of ABC’s primetime drama Castle starring Nathan Fillion!
So GH fans, are you sad to see Ellie leave the canvas? Will you miss seeing Ellie in Port Charles? Let us know!
Very sad episode, I will miss both Emily and Bradford. Sad to see the Spinelli role go, he was such a quirky character and brought much needed humour:)
Is Bradford gone? I can’t believe I haven’t read anything about this!
Is he really not coming back? 🙁
I’m devastated that yet again one of my favorites is gone. Emily is one the the sweetest ladies ever. She took the time to meet me in CA after her event. I couldn’t get to go. I stood outside for 2.5 hrs to see her. She made sure I got my picture. I will miss the quirkiness of Ellie. But I will never stop being a fan of her ever. Best of Luck Emily!
I could not agree more, Blythe. Ellie was a breath of fresh air–she was smart, incredibly sweet, self evolved, independent and yes, lovely. I especially loved her when she told Spinelli why she did not want to put more kids in the world because it would only add to over population, not to mention giving them a future where the eco-system was being eroded by climate change. I mean, here we had an assertion of science over ignorance. So Eli leaves and we are left with who? Oh yes, Sparkle Pony whose IQ matches the size of her horse shoes.
No !!!!! nuff said
Loved you and Spinelli together. Will miss seeing the both of you together. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors.
I am sad!!!
,,
will miss Ellie Trout! I enjoyed having you on my screen 🙂
Emily Wilson, wishing you the best!!
Very very sad. I will miss the role she played. But will look for her in Castle and hope she finds more work soon.
yes especially with more ancient characters returning. Its like if you didnt watch in 1970 they arent accomodating you
I will miss Ellie and Spinelli. I loved the role of Ellie played by Emily Wilson. I want to wish Emily and Bradford the best of luck.
I loved the freshness and vivacity she brought to her role in addition to nailng the quirkiness. I had a sincere wish that maybe TPTB would ultimately write her as the missing Q heir. She more than held her own in the few scenes she shared with Jane Elliot and I found her to be a worthy rival for Maxie when it came to BAs Damian Spinelli. She truly had me indecisive as to who I wanted him to be with. Of the new characters introduced under this regime, she easily out distances any of the others. And that makes me sad, as much as BA leaving also. I’ll look forward to her appearance on “Castle” and anything else she books. All the best Miss Wilson!
always sad to see characters we’ve gotten used to go. if we’re to believe what we’re watching…if only for a moment in time…it’s like losing a “real” friend. that’s part of the addiction of soaps…getting immersed in a fictional world and “attached” to fictional characters. when they leave…it’s a loss. but, where there’s soap, there’s hope! LOL. maybe spinellii and ellie will pop in down the road.
Will sadly miss Ellie & Spinelli on GH!! Emily looking forward to seeing you ON CASTLE and on many new shows. Spread you wings and fly : ) BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!
yes, miss them both, love the characters and hope they visit us soon.
I always thought Ellie shouldve been a Quartimaine or revealed to be someone else…she really didnt have much of a connection to the people of PC like she should of to make her more interesting but i liked her and i liked her with Spinnelli…GH needed cast trimming but not these two…they’ll e missed! She could be a big primetime star and Bradford too…he’d be good as one of the gang on The Big Bang Theory…imo.
I think she would make a great Mac on Y & R,. GH loss is Y & R gain!!!
Ellie was the only newbie I liked.
Me too–why is it always the wrong ones leaving?
Ha ha….and exactly who are the “right ones,” Harry????? (Oh, let me guess…..) ; )
really liked her! (and spin, of course!) hopefully they’ll be back some day!
Not really sad, as they weren’t favourite characters of mine. However, I think they were a bit under used.
Will sadly miss “Elli” she was one that should have had a longer run on the show.
Sorry to see her character leave GH. There’s about a dozen that I’d rather have seen go (starting with Sonny).

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.
