GENERAL HOSPITAL: As Finn’s Life is on the Line, A Heartbroken Anna Apologizes to Chase “I’m So Sorry”
Monday’s episode of General Hospital brought with it another round of twins Anna and Alex Devane (Finola Hughes) going at each other with guns a-blazing, as Alex has really taken to the dark side including; duping her sister and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and now holding a pregnant Maxie (Kirsten Storms) hostage.
Meanwhile back at General Hospital, Finn’s (Michael Easton) condition takes a nose-dive just as he was trying to deliver key information to Peter (Wes Ramsey) about Alex and Anna … and that Anna wanted it to be true that she was his birth-mother, not Alex. As Portia (Brook Kerr) is trying to keep Finn alive, who should enter? His brother, the cop, Chase (Josh Swickard), who is beside himself seeing his big brother like this.

Valentin who is also recovering at the hospital wants to go after Alex; not knowing what is about to happen. Robert (Tristan Rogers) learns that Finn is being rushed into surgery and that his condition and survival is based on his heart.
On the Haunted Star, Anna and Alex exchange gunfire until Alex is shot, but she is not dead. Later, on the deck of the yacht, a badly-wounded Alex reappears. She tells Anna they both knew one of them would have to die someday, and shares a cryptic, yet meaningful message that she thought Anna would go back for Peter when he was a child and raise him, but she didn’t, and she has to live with that. As Anna goes to see if Maxie is alright, Alex rolls herself off the deck into the water. Anna comes back with Maxie and believes her sister must be dead.
Elsewhere, an overcome Chase heads to the hospital chapel and prays for his brother as he breaks down in tears. Robert calls Jackie (Kim Delaney) to fill her in on Finn, and she in turn calls his father, Gregory (the incoming Gregory Harrison to the role). After Anna and Maxie arrive safe and sound at the hospital, Peter runs to Maxie, while a distraught Anna walks by Valentin and Robert.
Next, in the final scene of the episode, Anna joins Chase in the chapel. She is grief-stricken, guilt-ridden and heartbroken that because of her and her sister, Finn’s life is on the line as she tells Chase, “I’m so sorry.” They join hands to find the strength to get through this. It was in these moments that both Finola Hughes and Josh Swickard brought the emotional heart to the story.
So, what did you think of the final scene featuring Finola and Josh? Do you think Alex will return? Comment below.
I hope not! I’m sick of the good twin/bad twin scenario! Let’s move on!
Alex was never the evil until GH brought her to town or even talked about her. On AMC she was a normal person. Not like how they rewrote that history but glad they fixed Anna being peters mom
Now get rid of Peter!
Exactly! And thank you! When Alex was on AMC her main flaw was that she was too sensitive and delicate due to chronic health issues. Anna was very protective of her sweet sister.
I was pleasantly surprised by the turn on the Haunted Star. At first, I didn’t think Anna would shoot Alex. Surprise, she did. Then I thought Alex would escape and then I thought she wouldn’t. Surprise, she did. But will she really turn up dead? I doubt it. I’m holding out for her to reappear at the wedding.
I think Finola did an outstanding job and I loved that Josh actually looked like he was worried and near tears for his “brother”.
Great episode!
The only way Alex would be dead-dead is
if Anna was dead..
I’m OK with that/not a fan.
Finn won’t die so I’m watching how it plays out..
The only interesting side is his father is coming.
Peter being outed has to be close.
I think Maxie will lose the baby due to Peters outing.
Perhaps that is also how Lulu will exit- it’s
all tied up with Peter.
“Brother”?
Todd
Agree with your comment but I believe Robert has doubts about Alex being dead. Hopefully, he will pursue this.
To me, no real drama because I never cared for Finn, never cared for Finn and Anna and I STILL dont like Peter. He and his mommy can go off to wherever and lets focus on PC! Laura is back, we need Lucky and Lulu to return and keep the pedal to the floor on rebuilding the Q’s!
^^^^ “To me, no real drama because I never cared for Finn, never cared for Finn and Anna and I STILL dont like Peter.”
EXACTLY !!!! YES… just glad when some one else agrees.
@GH from the very start … Anna was dragged down… DOWN… down… STUCK W/ Finn and Peter. these two bores MUST go if you are shaving off salary and budget constraint.
Anna needs Robert back BUT Valentin is starting to pique my interest!
Peter and Maxie are just a terrible couple. Not only do they not seem to be that into each other, they don’t seem to like each other much. There’s no sexual or romantic chemistry. There’s not even a friendly chemistry. How the hell did Peter manage to impregnate Maxie when viewers never got the sense these two ever had sexual relations? And please know I said this well before March 2020 when Covid hit. So we can’t blame this lifeless and sexless couple on the pandemic. Yet, Frank drags this on and on because he believes in this forced puzzle piece of a couple. I usually don’t dare to speak for others, however, I think it’s safe to say viewers have invested zero emotions in this unfortunate coupling. They need to stop forcing it. Sorry, the pregnancy does not autocorrect this lifeless couple.
Just have to say this thing with 60 yr.old Cyrus and the much younger Sasha is disgusting. Hope she didn’t O.D at his house.

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.

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.
