General Hospital Extended Promo Reveals: Turf War, Cassadine Family Drama & Nelle’s Plan For Wiley Take Center Stage
ABC’s General Hospital, which has been firing on all cylinders of late, has released a super-sized promo, that was first shown live to fans over the weekend at the series 2nd annual event at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
Look for major stories to kick-off and some to tease what is to come. According to this week’s promo, a turf war is definitely upon us and the Corinthos family as someone is coming after the clan. But who?

Meanwhile, just how will Nelle get away with insinuating herself in Wiley’s life by blackmailing Bead? How will she keep Willow away from the child she thinks is hers?
Then, it’s the return of Nicolas Bechtel as Spencer Cassadine as Nikolas with Ava in tow, finally tells his son that he is alive! Looks like Spencer will not be as forgiving as one thought. Will he seek revenge on his father?
And it looks like Jax and Nina may finally give int o temptation and their longstanding attraction to one another, as Valentin faces custody issues with Scarlett via Lulu.
The end of the teaser, reveals gun-fire and a shoot out that goes down on the pier that could change the course of lives forever, with it looking like Mayor Laura has bee shot. How will this all turn out?
Watch the extended promo below! Then, let us know what you think will happen in these storylines on General Hospital via the comment section.

LOVING my GH…To me GH and BB are the only two shows that still feel like the good old days of soap writing…KEEP it COMING…Oh BTW, GH and BB has the best background music of the 4 left…Y&R always had that honor but it’s #3 now IMO when it comes to background music…Music staff at BB use to be with Y&R for years…I know it’s off the topic of the PROMO..Have a GREAT week everyone and let’s keep watching GH…
Yay! Looking forward to all these stories unfolding! (Now, if only the network wouldn’t interrupt their schedule for the impeachment hearings. That’s one soapy mess I’d rather get a summary of at night and watch on C-SPAN if I want to hear more.)
ABC made two huge errors a few years back…
The first one was cancelling the SoapNet channel. If that was still around, all 4 of the existing soaps could run in prime time and they wouldn’t have to worry about all the timelines getting shot to Hell (and not in a good way) like we saw with the failure of GH episodes airing in the proper order over the Helliday season.
The second was ABC caving into the greedy cable monopolies and locking down the access to streaming episodes from their website (and previously Hulu, when they still had a free option|). ABC is a free to air network, and the content on their website should be free as well. It’s not like most viewers aren’t paying one of the big oligopolies for their internet access anyway, and they embed ads in the stream, so it’s not like they aren’t making money from it.
You can watch a weekly show 8 days later and not miss much. But that doesn’t work with a show that airs Monday-Friday every week.
Time for ABC to bring back either Soap Net, same day free streams from their website, or both.
(for those of you who know how to use a VPN, there’s always the City TV website in Canada, of course. Though be advised, the ads they run up there are often 10 times louder than the actual TV program. You were warned!)
Hi Satan .. 🙂
thing is;
Daytime TV is struggling to stay alive
(unless useless talk shows/no cast/no scriptwriters/no sets
and huge casts/actors to pay. etc.)
Soaps are extremely expensive, considering they’re daytime..
We’re lucky to still have 4 soaps, actually.
All that is gone will stay gone.
And better all that gone than a soap being gone.
I’d luv to have soaps on cable or broadcast evenings
but–
that will never happen.
it all comes down to $$$ and soaps fall short.
Perhaps a monthly fee will eventually save them.
(if even enough fans to pay to sustain them.
Is it me, or is Gladys incredibly annoying? It’s just awkward, how she pops-in on random scenes. Insipid Lulu can go. Brook, she can definitely go! Jordan and Taggert, awkward and forced. & Ramsey, the child actors could give him acting lessons. He’s the worst. I like NuNina, and NuNik is growing on me.
I so agree, DMRR. Gladys is a good actress, but an annoying an unnecessary character. Lulu and her new, lifeless romance are boredom at the highest level. Jordan, Taggert….more “who cares” drivel, and Peter Peter Scene Eater is singlehandedly ruining this show for me. We can’t get the great Billy Miller or Rebecca Budig but we get double doses of that lying worm? No wonder I’m glued to the FF button.
YUP, I know, Soap Hound. AGREED!! The show is unwatchable.
Nell…biiiiiitch. LMAO The biggest shock of them all. Morgan or Jerry Jacks. Or Dr. Rolf crossed over from Days and gave his sister Liesel his life giving serum to revive Faison and Helena.
FINALLY !!
that’s all I got-
Finally ..
Who is Bead pr do you mean Brad???
kinda looks good
I’am so sick of Neill why she just doesn’t tell everyone about Wiley begin Michael and her son and what makes Neill think Willow is scared of her you know quite people will hurt you Sasha is not the one I guess Neill is going to try her I hope Sasha kick her ass a shoot out on the water front Laura gets shot Jason and Sonny are trying to figure out who is coming after them after the shoot out mob war is on and popping now
Omg is Sacha the daughter of Faith Roscoe?? With Rick??? Is Faith back????
She better not be! I’m getting really tired of these escapes from Hell!
This show has done such a great turn around!! The promo is outstanding!! Getting back to its roots and core families. The production has been outstanding and love their use of veterans. That Nikolas recast is so good and you can’t go wrong with that stellar cast of veterans bringing it everyday!! Other shows (hint: Days of Our Lives) need to pay attention!
loving GH right now, but have since early 80s , well except about between 2011 – 2016, GH was a soap of a soap, if that makes sense, there was no dialoge, all fluff, and didnt enjoy ron c ‘s writing, probaly a better fit for days style, not GH. I do believe shelley Altman and Jean Pasenette had alot of work on there hands but did steer GH back in a good direction, yet with Chris van etten and dan o’connor at the helm GH is doing great, the heart is there and it’s got a spark back to it. keep it up GH,oh and abc would be smart to keep promoting and investing in its flagship soap especially whe its sailing so greatly.

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.
