General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Emotional Friends & Loved Ones Speak At Sabrina's Funeral Service!

91
Monica should smell Paul’s cologne and know he is the killer…Monica is able to text this to Tracy as Paul confronts her…realizing the police know, a frantic and desperate Paul kidnaps Monica and hides out at the closed General Hospital for several days,,,Paul ties up Monica in her office as she begs him to let her go…Paul attempts to kill Monica who has fainted but the ghost of Alan Quartermain appears frightening Paul who flees…Monica awakens and sees Alan’s ghost realizing he protected her… Monica uses her cell phone to contact police telling them she is trapped in the hospital… Read more »
that should read Paul turns…
Was Lucas and Brad even at the funeral….where is Alice?
Lucas and Brad are still on their honeymoon.
Lucas is too ashamed of having a father such as Julian, to show up. And, of course, Brad supports his husband.
What really sets me a-kilter is how The halo-wearing Sonny condemns Julian and THE KILLER as murderers. Wow!!!!
As evidenced by Julian, today….he and his ‘mob-squad’ roosters prey on those weaker than they. Well, Julian has found his perfect adversary in one female: Nina. Don’t mess with Red— er, Nina.
You should be a writer on the show. Sounds good.
I vote for Jim as GH’s head writer.
Come on Jim, you know as well as I, this is a soap, they never get the text, the phone is off or no reception!
It was an emotional episode. I thought Carly getting up to say something was a little bizarre considering how she had downplayed Sabrina’s character to MIchael. I thought she was just going to stand by MIchael for emotional support.
“Lossed”?
Yeah well, sigh, unfortunately it probably gained her points with Michael. Thought she’d at least get his wrath a bit longer which would give him reason to bond with his Q side again.
it sickens me.. the obvious overture… lauded Chad Duell

argh… little does he know… I know he knows… that

the Corinthos have nothing to stand on
this is going to be FUN
ram that ; Writers
get with the program… the Corinthos are walking egg shell…
no drama
It reminded of Casey’s grave..
Every month a grave speech .. that drove me crazy.
Too sad that Teresa was brought back to be murdered, let go
((I haven’t laughed once, not once, not even a chuckle since J&S, and that is sadder than the funeral.
The funeral was interminable!
Well, I laugh every time I see Big Head Hornsby lurking everywhere with s syringe in his hand. He’s in hospital rooms, hospital corridors, hospital stairwells, the Quartermiane house….he’s everywhere and no one seems to notice. I think Paul thinks he is the invisible man.
Right, Harry????? What dumb-arse goes surreptitiously( or so he thinks) up the stairs with a syringe in his hand for anyone, who comes upon him, to see?? Really?!?!?!. Oh, for the love of Goofy!! For what audience do these writers think they are writing? It’s like: DUH!?!?
Maybe he falls on that syringe during a struggle proving he is the killer…
@Jimh( leave it to beaver).
Ooohhhh, Jimmy…great prediction…. Sweet irony!!! Good one!!
After the agony of losing Sabrina ,can we please not have to endure the agony of this storyline for much longer.
Sabrina should not have been taken off the canvas this way. I never liked how she came out of nowhere and was put on frontburner as a Carlivati pet, followed by uninspired Ugly Betty Blossoms into beauty. However, the actress Theresa Castillo could actually act, and made the role work, and I came to love her friendship with Felix, Epiphany, and everyone at the hospital, and she and Carlos were great onscreen. When they weren’t trying to force her into romances with Patrick or Michael she really shined in her friendships, with Tracy, Liz, the whole hospital. She was one… Read more »
Felix should be gossipy nurse not bland Amy…
Agree wholeheartedly
Nice post Dante ! Truly a gifted actress could have done more. Mis step by GH.
i’m going to recap this; because it stings ; more like hurt I read the latest SOD issue… and their was J & S rationalizing… led me to believe her character death was needed to “add” depth to their writing BS ! expletive having Paul commit these hateful crimes isn’t enough? Theresa Castillo.. added layer , color, intrigue… on such a whitewashed mess of all over the place makes no sense just their DULL get it ? GH is squandering potential… for MIX Morgan / Sabrina / Paul / Nicholas .. these 4 characters were all over the canvas what… Read more »

J & S : “you two really blew it “
I guess this means that when the Nurse’s Ball returns her face will be right next to Robin’s, and I can see why long time fans would be upset by that, but if you get murdered at a hospital you work at you deserve to be immortalized forever in the halls of those hospitals and all of their functions. I hope they show more of Lucy, Felix, and Epiphany. They are the ones that deserve the airtime, NOT Finn and Haytchel, who is this writer’s Sabrina. Whenever GH gets the writers they deserve, everyone will see for themselves who the… Read more »
They will also name a hospital wing after her and the whole nurses ball will be all about Sabrina and not its real purpose…
Maybe Emma will dress as ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ this Halloween!
I know that you guys really hate her (Teresa) timmm & jimh, but if you’ve noticed 99.999% of us loved her benevolent persona…a story with all antongonists…smdh…wth!!!
Vimoda?…whoever poster you are…the actress is a nice lovely person inside and out-i do note hate her…i just never took to her character that was forced too front and center while most players on the show were put on the backburner or not shown at all…
JIm, I wouldnt waste your time answering to the “Pot Stirrers” who have suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I have followed you for some time on this site and I have NEVER heard you say you hate anyone! Same with me, I didnt like the character of Sabrina but that doesnt mean I “Hate” Teresa. Its ridiculous! Jim, you know who I hate? Every which one of those bastards who were responsible for 911. Period!
The Claudette stor is so lame –and unconvincing.
Oh I would love to see Nathan fall down the steps and when he gets up and dusts himself off, it’s Michael Muhney, you know an actor!
i do hate murderers ,rapists, anyone who deliberately hurts someone especially a child ,and spiders…oh, and this years political race-lol
You have to know that on Monday’s episode Tracy will ask Paul what he means and he’ll snap out of it and say something to the effect of he didn’t stop the killer in time. The funeral was lovely, but IMHO, it just never should have come to this. When I think back over the character of Sabrina’s time on the show, I can’t help but wonder how absolutely brutal this has been for some poor soul who has been facing a lot of hard times like she did. Sabrina started as the “ugly duckling turned into a swan” storyline,… Read more »
i told my sister the same about Paul…
i wasnt a Sabrina fan but the explicitness of her murder was way overboard and disturbing just like Will on Days and Frankie on AW years ago…
That’s exactly what I thought when Paul “confessed” to the murder. He will cower and back-up with an excuse; exactly as you suggest, Rodd.
Yes, the service was beautiful. I cried because whoever cried, such as Epiphany and Felix, ….well, those were real tears…I am assuming they felt ‘sorry’ to see Teresa go. Good show!! Too sad not to see Sabrina’s sunny smile again.
Oh, you will see Sabrina’s sunny smile…her portrait at the memorial service will be hung on that GH wall right next to Steve Hardy…anyone in a gloomy mood passing by the portrait will feel that beautiful smile shine upon them-they will suddenly feel all warmness and good…they will all go all Julie Andrews on us dancing and sing, ‘The Halls of GH are alive with Sabs beautiful smile!’-lol
Boy, they got rid of baby Teddy at warped speed–guess that means Joe is gone–sigh!
No. not one bit. Shows have to stop killing characters just to get rid of them. Sabrina could have easily received word she’d family needs her or been approached to take a job out of town OR even just walked into her kitchen never to be seen agin until 2 or 3 years or more when they could bring her back.
The hospital killer story is stupid and without merit.
Yes, stupid–the killer story1
I agree Paul. They need to stop killing characters off to get rid of them. They should send them off somewhere instead.
While not a huge fan of the character, I thought it was quite odd the only “flashback” was of the murder scene. I know they did the touching Felix flashback the other day, but since they were paying TeCa by using the murder scene, why not throw in a flashback or two?
Time will tell if the writers place Sabrina with the rarely mentioned dead (AJ) or those mentioned numerously (Connie).
Sabrina was on GH for two New York minutes and they dedicate almost the entire show to her funeral? Moreover, she barely was on since the Disney on Ice fairy tale wedding crashed and burned. AJ was legacy character, we watched him grow up and he’s given no service?
Everything about Sappy has been handled badly and that includes her funeral. She was an unimportant character and I will not miss her even a little bit.
” I will miss her ”
I danced to her
cooked tortillas for her and “Joe” or “Michael” it didn’t matter he was on… I dished he caught complete
diverse dish
spent
@Harry…..Thank you for not mincing words! I blessedly skipped the official Sabs Sobfest, but it sounded every bit as puke-inducing as I would have expected from this production team. As you so correctly pointed out, the showrunners couldn’t even wait for legacy character AJ’s body to cool before they excitedly stashed him—with as little fanfare as possible—in the Q crypt so Ava and Sonny could lewdly desecrate his final resting place, yet, all the stops were pulled out for this nobody from nowhere who was nothing special. The only fitting aspect to this entire St. Sabs scenario was that her… Read more »
I missed the beginning of the service so I thought the priest in vestments sitting there in the corner not saying a word was a bit odd since Griffin was running the service– also the purple sash is for Lent and Advent– not for funerals, you would think there would be one Catholic on the show that would point out that error. I give them credit for at least having it done in a church set– most soap memorial services are either outside or in some bar/restaurant —- — and that is why they killed Sabrina– you cannot have a… Read more »
That is so true about happy soap characters…i remember on AW when Jim and Mary Mathews, the show’s patriarch and matriarch going to St. Croix or wherever and saying something like how much they love each other and the next scene Mary died from heart failure if i recall…of course the actress was fired so they killed her off!!!
Well said, Mary. I thought the speeches were en pointe, as I said above. I was so moved….maybe because I loved Sabrina/Teresa., and am disappointed to see her go. Again GH, as a whole, takes too many liberties. If this was supposed to have been a Catholic service; it would have been a High Mass in full ‘priestly’ regalia…….not sitting in the sidelines like an altar boy…….absolutely sacrilegious, and offensive. The Funebral Mass is a MUST in the RC faith. I know I keep overstating this fact, but I am passionate about my faith, and will not apologize. They should… Read more »
Lighten up, folks. There are far worse things going on with the writing and plots of this legendary program than Sabrina meeting an untimely demise. Though she was by far not the most irritating character on GH…fill in the blanks with whoever you feel this is, but Kiki out distances them all in my estimation…these particular writers are committing heinous acts on a near daily basis with their particular version of storytelling. These two really need to go. ABC: shred those new contracts and find some writers that know how to actually write. GH and its loyal audience deserve better!
Yeah, Sabrina used to be on an island but it is littered with misfits now! Take your pick, Claudette, Nathan, Kiki, Jordan, Andre, Curtis and don’t forget Creapo! (Wake up Liz!)
And sadly, these new writers just resigned!
One of several funny comments you made today….
Marc Anthony Samuel has really delivered in the aftermath of Sabrina’s murder. Poor Felix – he has an off-camera relationship, he’s been back-burnered forever and his sister evaporated into thin air.
The writing lately has been so perfunctory it’s as if it’s only done to give the best cast in daytime something to do while they appear on screen. Individual scenes can be great but the overall stories are lackluster. Long live GH!
J&S near destroyed Y&R.. Y&R fell to its’ lowest ratings, a viewer loss as never before. They are horrible writers. (the over a year Music Box story) Most of what they write makes no sense.. The serial killer story makes little sense, has no intruge, no twists and turns, not one intense moment, absolutely void of climatic drama. Their couples are terrible. NO romance, no nothing. The couples are empty. J&S are without a doubt the worst soap writers, ever. They are totally wrong for GH .. GH is being destroyed. If, they were to be fired there is not… Read more »
Point being They do not care to save GH they are letting them dig the hole I expect them to cancel in 2017. The closing of General Hospital now we can call it General Mobsters with MB reading cue cards the star.
J&S have both been writers for numerous cancelled soaps in their final years have they not? Maybe ABC specifically hired them for that reason.
Anna gets back into P.C. and teams up with Franco to go after Paul. Anna feels that Paul manipulated her and Franco wants payback for what happened to Liz. Paul is in the chapel hiding out. With a kidnapped Monica. He is talking to his daughter Susan on the phone confessing everything he has done and how he did it out of love for her. He tells her he still has more thing to do and it will be all over and he will be joining her. He then starts to explain to Monica that years earlier Susan had been… Read more »
Riddle me this, Sabs who was on the show for four years gets a funeral with other character attending and a song and Nicholas Cassadine, a twenty year character doesn’t get a funeral? Another reason folks, another reason!
And Liz seemed more upset over Sabs death instead of Nik’s. She was once innlove with him. They were intimate. I mean she held his boot and went on a rampage against Hayden?!?!
I think everyone downplayed Nik’s second death, because they thought TC was returning to the show.
Yes. Its lazy writing. I will say that MAYBE they thought Nick was coming back on canvas and why waste their time but its a story and it should have been told to lead the fans into mourning over the character even if we know he isnt dead. Its called acting!
J&S wanted to give us a bowl of emotions. for us to feel blue and weepy sad..
they wanted us to feel the pain, the emotions.
I felt it, I felt emotionally total disgust.
Well, JELLY failed!
Great observation, Timmmy. And, rightly so!!!! …..Didn’t really thing about it. Do you think Tyler left on bad terms? Would I have the temerity to whisper…….TPTB ‘socked’ it to him?
Thanks Cee. I think Tyler thought he was irreplaceable and they said otherwise. Nick Stabile was great and I’m sure he works cheaper. Having said that, I wanted Tyler back. He worked at ABC for almost twenty years, he deserved a pay raise and a nice new lengthy contract. And we dont know any of the details. What if Rebecca Budig who has been on the show for two years and a FOF’s [Friend of Franks!] is making more? If I were Tyler I would pound my fist on the desk and say NO!
Nick Stabile may have been great but he wasn’t Nikolas Cassadine, any more than Jacob Young was ever Lucky Spencer. It’s fairly apparent that FV was planning on trimming the contract budget by getting rid of William DeVry (Julian) …. then when the show lost 100,000 viewers in the demo in one week by having destroyed Julexis, the writers turned around on a dime and decided to make Paul the hospital killer so they could write off Richard Burghi. But then, when the unversal response was “WTF, why get rid of one of the better actors on the show?” FV… Read more »
Surprise! Not. There should have been a funeral for Jason/SBu and Nik/TC with full montage of their 20 plus year history. Don’t get me started on the crap that was done for AJ’s funeral where Sonny and Ava had sex on his grave. The blatant disrespect for veteran GH characters has been appalling under this current regime.
Missy, thats ONE of my points to “Sonny Haters” I bring up. Sonny is not a good guy BUT neither is AVA! What they did to AJ’s grave was despicable! I dont know how Monica can even begin to stomach Sonny! He has reeked havoc on her family for years! And this version of Jason, it started out okay but it just lost its momentum very quickly. Billy Miller’s Jason should have been back as a Q. He and Monica actually are kind of sweet together in what very little scenes they share.
@Timmm….I just hope they FINALLY bury the “Sabs Theme Song” along with her character. Whilst Epiphany is a fabulously talented performer, she deserves to be more than a “one-hit wonder!” Give this woman a more varied repertoire….please!!!!!
FV’s bloated cast means we can’t see too much of GH characters that were around years before he came on the show. Felix and Taylor could have been Piph’s nephew and niece that come to town to stay with the older woman after their mother dies or how about any number of health related issues that could plague the woman?
I, too, am so tired of that stupid song that Sabrina sang on this show. Ugh!
Hi Shay, did not get your reply. Sad.
Makes sense, Timmmy. From a financial, seniority, and fan-base point of view; it would only be right. As you know, I am not a ‘veteran’ watcher of GH (LOL–pardon the pun); so, Tyler and I never got ‘close’, per se. Plus, I was never a fan. I hope Nick S does take his place. Ava is the personification of Saccubus, I know; but, man-oh-man—-those two set ‘the set’ ( again, pardon the pun; just happens, inadvertently) on ‘fiyah’!!!! As long as Nick doesn’ t continue to be dark; I am soooo fine with the idea. But, Ava’s influence may turn… Read more »
Nick and Emily were great but I was never a HUGE fan of Nick. He is a Cassadine so he was interesting most times. BM sucks as Jason BUT it might not be all his fault. He might have been told something else in the beginning and they switched things up. He seems so bored and his character is a pill. C, I still relate to Justin being Adam. Never been a fan of Chelsea but HE did maker her tolerable. One more episode of “This is Us” and I am probably out! A couple fellow posters explained the twist… Read more »
I empathize any soap writer for certainly by reading comments it is impossible to make fans happy. People are constantly saying the cast is too bloated and get rid of people and focus on the core cast members. So they get rid of a character whose actor’s contract is up and has only been on the show 4 years and not even related to any core family and nothing but complaints. I liked Sabrina and the actress, but her time was up.
Exactly Mika, well said! Comment after comment on here for months, years in some cases, about how bloated the GH cast is, they kill off a character that never caught on in my opinion, and very few people will miss, and now people are complaining about that. Talk about complaining for the sake of complaining. That seems to be the specialty of some of the people that post here.
Sorry but that even sounds like a complaint-lol
For the record, Dan, I’m not complaining about this development one bit….I’m applauding it and calling it what it is….a very good start! (My only question is what took so darn long?????)
Totally disagree really loved her!!!
I agree with you 100%. I think if GH is looking to trim its cast, Sabrina (and Joe, for that matter) would have been on the list of characters to get rid of. I think the problem that most viewers have is how they handled her exit. Not only was her murder brutal, but she didn’t have to be killed at all. Many fans wanted Sabrina to run away with Carlos back when he was still alive. But instead, they brought her back seemingly just to kill her off. While I’m not a fan of that move, I don’t mind… Read more »
I think they know they messed up when they killed Sabrina. Especially with all of the fan backlash they are receiving because of it. The unnecessary 3 days it took to kill her-ridiculous! She could have been reduced to a recurring character. I don’t know what Amy and Felix are but they could have gotten rid of them instead of TeCa. What was the point of bringing her back just to kill her?!?! I think they know they messed up because they’re trying to give her a big send off to appease the fans, but it was just a mistake.… Read more »
I agree, Letemeatc8ke.
Perhaps, ‘Joe” was brought in specifically to take Teddy away. A baby, at his point, would have been too much of an incumbrance. More important storylines need to be wrapped up, or explored.
I doubt any of us was expectantly waiting for a ridiculous custody court-battle.
So, in a fashion; there was a bit of order in the game-plan.
However, the question as to why was Sabrina brought back just to kill her???? Is this story not over? Will teddy come back in a few months as a teen? LOL.
Silly Letemeatc8ke…….. writing isn’t important! What’s important is the Frank has an opportunity to hire all his friends at the subjugation of all else that is entailed in the production of and long term health of the show!
Elizabeth, you’re so right. I don’t know where I get these ideas from. How selfish of me not to put Frank first. I’m a bad bad girl 🙁
Sabrina Santiago (Teresa Castillo) was a great character that was played with emotion by a fine actress. She reminded me so much of the Nola character from GL days – hoping for a brighter future with a nice guy. Shame on GH for letting her go so violently. Who cares whether she had any relatives on the canvas? Sometimes it is just nice to have good friends at work. GH could use a lot more of that! The former scenes of Sabrina showed just why she was fun and was someone to root for. Instead, we are left with a… Read more »
This could easily be repaired if they wanted too. Sabrina’s body whisked away quick. Joe takes baby away very fast and with a smile which was odd. Like I mentioned before, this could be a storyline of the decade. Joe is really Carlos. They switched lives when Sabrina was being held in Puerto Rico. But Sonny and Michael saved her first. Carlos in the meantime is working on his revenge against Carlos and Sonny. He’s the one that found Sabrina first and injected her with a serum to lower heart rate to appear she was dead. Sabrina is hiding out… Read more »
As I’ve posted before, I’m probably in the minority here, but Sabrina’s death wasn’t much of a loss for me. Sure, she was a good character and Teresa Castillo is a good actress, but I would have much rather seen Sabrina die as opposed to Elizabeth or Monica. She’s not a core character, and her absence for the past few months (due to TC’s paternity leave), was barely noticeable, because she didn’t bring much to the show. However, the way they handled her exit was appalling. First of all, it was clear that Joe still had feelings for her, yet… Read more »
Sabrina’s exit is OK with me as well. If the sparsely attended funeral was any indication, it’s pretty clear that Sabrina’s potential was limited over the past 2 years to the Quartermaines & the hospital because of her frequent absences. If they’d wanted to really develop the character, they could have with creative costuming & good writing. Look at how much Tony Geary’s frequent absences impacted the writing for his character of Luke Spencer – NEVER! The guy racked up multiple Emmies for his powerhouse storylines, and was gone 2 months of every year IIRC. Also, look at how much… Read more »
Elizabeth hasn’t had family or friends for years now. Her sister Sarah hasn’t been on for decades, Nic is gone (temporarily), Gran (Audrey) is gone, Steven Weber is gone, Emily is gone, Jason dumped her…so…Franco’s been an anchor. In “real life” there are people who marry after a few months and stand the test of time…and others who are together for years before even getting engaged, decide to marry…and divorce. So, I find his feelings and sensitivity toward her credible. As for the scarcity of the funeral, I thought it was rather packed for today’s GH budget. More so than… Read more »
Poor Carly.
If she had killed Sabrina herself, Michael would have forgiven her in a heartbeat. Just ask Sonny…
OMG having a serious gh withdrawal right now, but I can’t…
