Gavin Houston Returning to General Hospital
Portia’s brother (Brook Kerr) is making a return to Port Charles and General Hospital! That’s the word from actor Gavin Houston from an interview segment with Augusta, Georgia’s ABC affiliate WJBF.
Houston will reprise his role of Zeke in upcoming episodes of GH, now celebrating its 60th anniversary on the air.

Gavin shared “I’m still on General Hospital actually … I’m coming back for this meaty storyline in like two weeks.”
In addition to GH, Houston has quite the impressive resume as soap fans also remember his work on Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots in the role of Jeffrey. The show ran for 8 seasons ending in 2021. He also portrayed Remy Boudreau on Guiding Light from 2002-2005.
When asked about being part of the GH canvas during its 60th anniversary celebration, Houston shared: ‘It’s such a blessing because I remember being in school and like everybody had like grandmothers or parents, who watch their stories. Growing up, soaps were such a big thing. I’m always grateful.” He added, “It was great to be a part of that achievement for them.”
Zeke was last on-screen during Portia’s wedding to Curtis, (Donnell Turner) when Houston appeared in episodes from February 7 to the 15th of this year.
Looking forward to seeing Gavin back on your screens on General Hospital? Comment below. But first, check out the chat with the actor with WJBF’s Karlton Clay.
Okay good. One-half of the return we want to see. Now bring back Papa Robinson, and ditch some of the unnecessary staff at General Hospital, and we’ll be on the right track!
I agree!!
Bring back jason.GH alwayd finds a storu line to bring back the ptesumed dead
Jason and Ingo are totally irrelevant and unnecessary. Haven’t missed them for one second. Massive egos no loss.
Steve Burton has always been down to earth and cool with fans
Steve Burton has another job so highly unlikely any time soon
Yes!! I was hoping that they would bring him on in some capacity! Now figure out a way for Dad to come back too! Alexis needs a love life, and if Robert and Diane don’t work out, there could be a little something there too!! Bring on the Robinsons! ❤️
Bring back Steve Burton, the show hasn’t been the same with out him
I totally agree! Bring Steve Burton back!
The show nothing with out Steve Burton. You need to pay him any amount of money. He make the show.I have been looking at General Hospital. For 45 years it’s for boring.
But he signed a contract for Days of Our Lived so… not happening
Days didn’t require the COVID-19 vaccine that he wouldn’t take for GH and that was their reasoning for letting him go
Maybe he could be a love interest for Jordan, Maxie, Elizabeth or Alexas ( age doesn’t seem to matter on GH). Bring Portia’s dad back too.I wish they would get rid of Nina all together. I thought she was an awesome character when Michelle Stafford played her crazy side but now she is just nauseating. I do not want Sonny and Carly back together though. He preaches loyalty and family but that only seems to pertain to others with him. I know a lot of people don’t like the Carly/Drew pairing but I think he is good for her. I wouldn’t have minded them pairing Carly with Brick but once again that would be disloyal to Sonny and he could not have that. Would have been fun though. Please bring back Hayden so Finn can have a real love life, not that wishy, washy crap with Elizabeth. He needs Hayden to give him a spark not to mention she is Violet’s mother and she needs her. They also need to give Brooklyn a storyline where she is not always making bad decisions that keep her under the thumbs of manipulators. Sorry, Tracy that includes you. She just got rid of of that slime ball now Granny wants to have her leak Deceptions secrets. I love the character of Brooklyn, Amanda Setton plays her so well. Her eyes express so much. If they are not going to put her back with Chase then give her another storyline that doesn’t involve someone always using her. Maybe flip her switch and pair her with Kristina.
I enjoyed Gavin on The Haves and Have Nots..Great actor look forward to seeing him GH!
Yes please bring back Gavin Houston and give him a role that shows how talented he is as an actor, thank you.
Looking forward to seeing Portia’s family grow and to see where he ends up in story.
Great To have gavin houston bring Portia sdad 2
I guess Gavin will be Jordan’s love interest. Besides Ava she’s the only one without a man.
If they cut Kin Shriner to bring in another newbie, that is 666% not cool.

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.
