GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: After Tracy Takes Incriminating Photos of Finn; It All Points to Him Losing Custody of Violet
It’s clear that General Hospital is headed towards really taking Finn (Michael Easton) all the way down to the depths of despair, when his family and friends, while trying to do the right thing and protect his daughter, Violet (Jophielle Love), from any harm, are also setting the guy up for a real punch to the gut.
Thus far, Finn started drinking heavily after his father Gregory passed away in the middle of the night. Now, it looks like his daughter will be taken away from him.
In story on the Friday’s June 19th episode, after Finn cuts his hand accidentally on broken glass, he ends up passing out on the floor from excessive drinking. Violet comes upon her dad, and ends up calling Tracy (Jane Elli0t). When Tracy shows up, she calls the paramedics, who inform her that the issue with Finn is he drank too much.

Once Violet goes over to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard), Tracy goes back to Finn’s and takes photos on her phone of Finn passed out, a bottle of booze, the glass and the entire scenario.
So, between Brook Lynn, Chase and Tracy, it looks like Finn will not stand a chance at keeping custody of Violet, unless one of them sticks up for the good doc? In true soap-fashion, it would seem most likely, a court will grant temporary custody to Brook Lynn and Chase, setting up some kind of emotional full custody battle down the line? Stay tuned.

So, what did you think of Tracy taking photos of Finn passed out drunk? Are you on Tracy, Brook Lynn and Chase’s side, or do you think Finn will sober up when he realizes Violet will be taken from him? Share your theories via the comment section below.
I am 100% on Tracy, BLQ and Chase’s side. Finn is in no condition to keep Violet after he decided to drink that much knowing Violet would arrive home any moment. Poor Violet shouldn’t have found her father in that condition. Finn has been a jerk to everyone. He wants to blame others for his behavior, but he has no one to blame but himself. I was surprised that some people thought Liz was wrong for speaking up about Finn’s drinking. Finn is no victim and regardless if he is hurting, that is no excuse to mistreat others. He is the bad guy, lashing out at everyone who has tried to help him, but by far he has treated Liz the worst.
I hope Tracy will straighten him out on Monday, but I’m sure he will push back even against her. I dont think he will change his mind when she tells him about Violet finding him passed out on the floor and how scared she was thinking he was dead.
I know it’s too much to ask of a young child, especially one that loves her father as much as she does, but I would love to see Violet tell Finn he is wrong and she doesn’t want to be near him until he stops drinking and hurting people.
Easton has done a fantastic job the last few weeks. But I wouldn’t shed a tear if they send Finn packing and bring Easton back as John McBain.
A Devil has mixed feelings about this storyline. It’s sad to see poor little Violet have to deal with this, right after losing her grandpa. How much can a kid take anyway?
On the other horn, Jane Elliot should get some Emmy reel material out of this.
Yes, Finn is grieving, but it doesn’t give him the right to put his daughter in harms way or to be a jerk to those who love him and also employ him.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Monday or Tuesday is Easton’s final episode. Violet will wind up living in the mansion like apparently half of Port Charles
Finn screwed the pooch big time and put himself on the wrong side of Tracy. Watch out.
I beg to differ. She’s his best friend right now, if not she would have just taken Violet and left Finn right where he was, in a drunken stupor. Guess he’ll learn what tough love is, if it doesn’t kill him!
Agreed! Tracy is showing her “tough love”
Yes that’s what I was trying to say while trying to be funny. “Watch out Finn now you’ve got to answer to Tracy.” Tracy had been cautiously reserving judgment but now she’s been pulled in whether she wants to be or not. Finn screwed up to the point where Tracy’s offering to use her resources for a custody battle and it won’t be pretty for him the more he digs his heels in. She didn’t ask to be in this position and he dragged her there. He has himself to thank for that. Tracy has been one of my favorite characters for 40+ years. Love her.
Easton leaving as Finn
What remains to be seen is if he returns as someone else. John McBain did used to work for the FBI.
In a show titled “General Hospital”, there’s currently more actors under contract playing law enforcement than doctors and nurses. Not counting Finn, there’s two doctors (Portia & TJ) and one nurse (Elizabeth).
On the law enforcement side, there’s 5 – Anna, Dante, Chase, Dex and Jagger.
McBain will not be returning to GH.
You know for sure?
This is just a rumor that he’s leaving.
GH is finally must see tv again, after a slow start for EK and PM as head writers their material is finally moving at a good pace, and Finn spiral is so heart breaking and wow Finn is really one mean addict, he’s been really bad with chase, liz, Alexis and now tracy its been riveting to say the least, and I know that Patrick M is now out as head writer, hope Elizabeth Korte can keep the material good, and one more thing, can these still in mourning OLTL fans stop already with dreaming GH will send former OLTL actors packing and have them return as their OLTL characters, that ship has already sailed, Michael Easton Finn has a brother and daughter on this show, and his character is a Doctor, look at the mess they made with Roger H. killing him off as Franco to only return as a character nobody care for, let it be already, John Mcbain as popular as the character is has no place in Port Charles right now, I rather the show bring back Hayden back and really turn this story up a notch more.
Oh yeah, bring back this mother who deserted her child, having no idea what kind of a father he’d be to her daughter, with an excuse if Violet asked why she did it, Im sure she would be told ” it was for your own good”., honey.
I believe Finn will continue to drink,inspite of being told his child will be taken
It depends on which is stronger, his addiction or his love for his child. Today showed his will power when he slammed those two bottles of Vodka against the wall. Everyone is ready to kill off this character or run him out of town, I don’t get it. He’s making poor choices now but what about everything he’s done for others, including putting up with Liz. Let’s give this character a break, instead of throwing him to the wolves.
Don’t mean to trample on anyone’s opinion, but alcoholism is a disease. Finn is an addict. That doesn’t make it right, but I don’t think an addict is capable of making good choices when they’re in the throes of using. I agree that Violet is better off being removed from the apartment, I don’t think the alcohol addiction would have allowed Finn to think about her while he was drunk. (If that makes any sense.)
It seems that they are accelerating this story to get ME off the canvas asap. Michael is knocking this story out of the park. I often find Finn boring, but not with this story. Why does it take the writers having to create an exit story to finally write something dramatic for an actor to do that will show their acting chops?
Bring back his stepmother I think she can straighten him out and you never know they may rekindle
And why would that be a good thing?
I assumed Tracy was taking these pictures as a wake-up call for Finn, not for a custody case.
I was thinking the same thing. I bet she try’s.
This storyline aside, I’m bemoaning the de-fanging of Tracy Quartermaine. One of the most delightfully devious anti-heroes in the history of Port Charles has basically become Lila now, offering a shoulder to Gregory, Chase, Brook Lynn, Cody, Finn, etc., etc., etc.! Jane Elliott is a marvelous performer, and we need to put some of the deviousness back in Tracy!
I love any and all versions of Tracy and I believe she still has some fangs there. I feel she’s showing some fangs protecting little Violet, as she should. She has too much Edward in her DNA to ever go full Lila. 🙂
In a show where the heroes are criminals and murderers (Sonny, Jason,etc.), Finn is being treated like the worst of them and shown no mercy at all. It is starting to look like they just need to get rid of one or two highly paid actors to make room for the high-profile actors returning to the show.

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.

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.
