The latest promo for this week’s episodes of General Hospital has been released and from the looks of it – and a key episode set to air on Wednesday April 8th – the mystery surrounding if Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) biological daughter is alive, and if so who is it, looks to be kicking into high gear.

There is that necklace that Nina is looking at in the promo, Nelle (Chloe Lanier) who seemingly now is being given an opportunity to work with Nina thus getting closer to her who notices the necklace, and then there is Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), who many have thought could actually be Nina’s daughter given their original tense relationship.

And coming up on Wednesday, look for a special episode where the show looks at Carly’s (Laura Wright) past with her adoptive parents Frank and Virginia Benson before she came to Port Charles in 1996.

Look for Eden McCoy (Josslyn) to play a young Carly, Cynthia Watros to play Virginia, James Patrick Stuart to play Valentin, and Willa Rose to play a young Nelle.  What will we learn from that episode?

Now below watch the latest teaser from GH, and let us know if you think Nina will finally figure out who her real bio-daughter is via the comment section below.

I sense there’s a curve ball coming our way….

I really doubt that Nelle is truly Frank Benson’s daughter. I think she’s Nina’s child who Madeline put up for adoption shortly after her birth, and Frank adopted her. What would be the point of making Willow Nina’s daughter? They’ve already reached a place of understanding and are no longer hostile with each other. Nelle, on the other hand, needs something more to anchor her in Port Charles, and if they have any hope of redeeming the character, maybe having a mother figure like Nina come into her life is the first step towards that.

Me and CiCi had discussed that too… if it is Nelle like we all think…i have a feeling Nina will become jealous of Jax and Carly’s closeness and will end up being on Nelle’s side and will also want custody of Wiley being her grandchild…a surprise twist would be nina had triplets like me and CiCi discussed-Nelle, Sasha and Willow…abut seriously it has to be at least one of them…maybe Willow was adoptive and turns out to be Ava’s who was switched at birth with the other daughter Ava always thought was hers…and Sasha is really Britts daughter-Britt had her when she was 13…or even Dr Mutter is one of their mums…the could do their own series…The Real Mothers Of Port Charles-lol

sorry for typos…

Or Nelle will pick up on Nina’s longing for the elusive daughter, realize it is Willow and subsequently manipulate things to fill that role herself.

ok, 1st..
I like Nina, but-
that character is like a pet rock, blaahh
If or if not she has a daughter, it will not be exciting.
It’s still a go nowhere to nothing much.
It won’t make much of a difference to rescue Nina as a
worthwhile charater..

As for Carly’s return to her begging story..
it is a total rip-off of RC’s 50th-anniversary story of Lukes
AWESOME award-winning coming to full circle story..
It is shameful to rip off Ron C, yup it’s dirty for sure.

hopefully, they won’t go as far to blac&7white it..

I agree with you on this one, for sure. We already know that Willow is not Harmony’s daughter, after she told her last week about being the “Best thing to come into my life”, not when you were born. I don’t need a reenactment of Carl’s life. We’ve heard enough of that. They have dragged this out so long, at this point I could care less who Willow’s mother is, Nina, Ava, Carly or???

SuOOO
The reply above is for you, not Snoop, where ever that came from. Gosh, is my typing that bad?

Hi Violet 🙂
I wish GH would clean house and bring in new active minds..
RC has been there beyond his time. He is bland/worn out.
All, I am looking forward to is Valentin and taking over the Q empire, if that is to be.
Hopefully, Valentine will give us some havoc for at least 6 months involving Nikolas as well.

Nina and her daughter stuff is a big F !
and- have you noticed the GH couple are moldy stale?
Watching couples is like sucking on a green lemon LOL

i’m all for fleshing out Cynthia Watros’

I’ve seen very little scenes w/Charlotte to be “convinced” on her instinct

God the first thing I think of;when it comes to either Willow or Nelle….is bore Michael

WHY ???? oh god
yeah, it’s despair when it comes to “our” show’

LET !!!!! Mike die now
send Michael off in to the sunset
who’s overkill Joss

alas, it doesn’t matter

How long are we going to stare at this necklace?

Reply

Nina has the one half…Nelle the other-YES!

Reply

On one horn I suppose it makes sense that Nelle would be a member of the psychotic Westbourne family. On the other horn, the last thing we needed was another member of that family, entirely creations of the Valentini regime.

Reply

I thought you would love them-when they are on all HELL breaks loose-lol

They can be entertaining at times, but they shouldn’t become one of the “big families” of Port Charles i.e. Hardys, Webbers, Baldwins, Spencers, Quartermaines, Corinthos, etc.

Kinda like on Days of Our Lives when the DiMeras went from being recurring crazy villains who showed up once in a while to one of the “core” families. Now all the surviving DiMeras are trying to be “good” people, and that goes against old Stefano’s core brand.

Nooooooo! Poor Nina!

Boy, talk about a can of worms! Does this mean that Silas Clay fathered both girls? Could Nell and Kiki have been twins, one going to Benson and one to Ava?
Nell knows darn well that Carly is not her sister, foster maybe, but she came to P.C to destroy Carly, even to the point of seducing and marrying her nephew Michael.I don’t believe she knows the origin of her necklace. What my biggest question is, how the hell did Benson get Nell after he left his wife and Carly?

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.

Take a look at the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3
Jason makes a sacrifice for Danny. Elizabeth becomes privy to a secret. Carly is touched. Valentin has a warning for Nina. Josslyn cautions Brennan.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 4
Brook Lynn and Chase celebrate a milestone. Trina gets an earful. Carly’s plan backfires. Curtis is skeptical. Michael is anxious about his family’s’ future.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5
Sonny wants answers. Ava is struck with inspiration. Curtis’ trial begins. Brook Lynn wrestles with a big decision. Lucy and Serena scheme.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 6
Sonny makes a stunning announcement. Serena makes her move. Willow faces a new threat. Isaiah takes the stand. Lucy questions Laura.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7
Josslyn is taken aback. Ava courts a new ally. Jordan and Anna catch up. Isaiah vents to Lucas and Elizabeth. Michael questions Jacinda.

Check out the latest ABC promo for General Hospital entitled, “What Did You Do?” below.

Now weigh-in: Do you think GH is about to pair Serena with Michael? Is it curtains for Jacinda? Can anyone stop Willow once and for all, or make her pay for her crimes? What will Jason do without Sonny and the mob? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

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.
