GH Nurses’ Ball 2025: Musical Artist YDE Set to Perform, Drew and Nina Host Red Carpet
More details of next week’s episodes of the 2025 edition of the General Hospital Nurses’ Ball have surfaced. First, actress-turned-singer, YDE formerly known as Breanna Nicole Yde will perform at the gala which kicks-off on Tuesday, May 20th.
Yde is best known to Nickelodeon fans from her roles on The Haunted Hathaways, Santa Hunters, and School of Rock. She has also appeared in the Netflix films: Malibu Rescue and Malibu Rescue: The Next Wave.
As a musical artist, YDE first released singles in 2020 including: “Stopped Buying Diamonds” and “BlindLife” through Warner Records. Her debut EP, Send Help, dropped in 2022. Her latest music video for her song, Parachute was released three weeks ago and you can see it below.

In addition to the performance news dropped by Deadline, look for Cameron Mathison and Cynthia Watros as Drew and Nina to host the red carpet arrivals for the ball. That could potentially have some fiery or hilarious moments since the two are at odds.
The Nurses’ Ball, which is dedicated to HIV/AIDS awareness and was started in 1994, has been a mainstay for the 62-year old soap opera. This year, the series promises a big reveal and a surprise guest who will show up later in the week.
So, what do you think of YDE performing on-stage at the ball? What do you think of Drew and Nina hosting the carpet? And finally, what will be the big surprise set for the end of next week? Share your thoughts and theories in the comment section below.
Could Drew be any more overexposed? Why would a sitting congressman host the Ted carpet arrivals?
The reveal will obviously be the culmination of the Gio reveal.
The surprise guest will be Liesl. The time is ripe for her return. Nu-Michael is likely coming soon, but probably after the Ball.
After yesterday’s episode it seems likely that NuMikey will make his debut in a courtroom on June 2.
As for Hallmark Drew, he’s racking up the enemies so fast, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the main course for my dragons’ dinner at Hell’s Memorial Day BBQ.
Love the idea of Liesl coming back to assist Nina in her take down of Drew, the game show host from hell. Meanwhile, Willow meanders around wearing her red cap which reads MPCGA( Make Port Charles Great Again) while robotically muttering,” In Drew, I trust.” Please, make Willow human again.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Willow develops a crush for Dr. Gannon next.
I would love to see Liesel! For that matter, I would love to see Scottie! It would be nice if they return together and we learn they rekindled their romance while they were away from PC.
Speaking of reveals, in the future maybe we’ll learn Frisco had a son and it’s the guy who works with Joss. Sorry, I can’t remember his name. He bears a resemblance to young Frisco
With Miguel being mentioned a few times in the last few days… my bet is still on Ricky Martin showing up.
I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I’ve never heard of her before.
I remember her from The School of Rock. She was the bass player.
Might be worth it just to see Drew and Nina at one another’s throat. Pass on the rest.
While I look forward to all the drama and reveals, I also hope that the acts at the Nurses Ball will be fantastic and be plentiful. I’ve felt cheated some years when the acts were lackluster or not given enough airtime.
Too bad they couldn’t get a former GH cast member to return as the guest singer. I would have loved to see Rick Springfield, Blackie Parrish (John Stamos) with the Beach Boys, William Lipton and The Runarounds, or Jack Wagner.
According to Lucy, we may see a performance by Lucky (Jonathan Jackson). I hope that’s the case. Jackson was fantastic in Nashville so I’m looking forward to singing at the Nurses Ball.

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.
