GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Ava and Ric’s Confrontation Witnessed by Kristina May Change Their Lives Forever
Appearances may be deceiving, especially how this week’s ABC promo for the action this week on General Hospital plays out. Ava (Maura West) and Ric’s (Rick Hearst) game of one-upmanship comes to a dramatic conclusion right in front of Kristina Davis-Corinthos (Kate Mansi), as did any hope of their relationship, or so we think!
The two have a showdown over their scheme to blackmail Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) while double-crossing each other, plus Ava’s growing jealously of Ric always hovering around his ex, nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). Fed up, and telling each other how they “betrayed” each other, Ava grabs an ornamental sphere and smashes on to the back of Ric’s head as he goes down to the ground. Kristina is in shock witnessing the confrontation.
But, here’s the thing! Will Ava now be blackmailing Kristina, making it look like she hit Ric, and threaten her with going to the police about Kristina cutting the brakes to her car? Will Kristina blackmail Ava? Will the women work together to dispose of his body? Will Rick pretend to be injured? Stay tuned!

Meanwhile, in the same promo, Rocco (Finn Carr) and Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) are at the pier, and shout that they think there is a body floating in the water! After that, the preview cuts to shots of guilty looking Port Charles residents, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), Nina (Cynthia Watros), Josslyn (Eden McCoy), and then Portia (Brook Kerr) throwing things in another tantrum against her hospital office wall. Did Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) body actually get dumped in the water? Ric? Or someone else completely unrelated to this?

Take a look at the new GH video preview below.
Then weigh-in: Who’s body do you think is in the water? What do you think is going to happen between Ava, Ric and Kristina following his being hit in the head? Nothing? Another blackmail? Worse? Share your theories via the comment section.
Guessing the body is not Ric nor Drew. Someone related to a different storyline. Perhaps Professor Dalton or Colette (after finding out she’s a double agent).
Didn’t Ava learn not to use blunt objects when she thought she killed Nikolas? If I didn’t know better, this would be B&B as they reuse plot-lines constantly.
Shooting-wise, we’re at an interesting point where they’re mixing in scenes that were shot 2 months ago (before the July hiatus) and some just 2 weeks ago.
I hope the body is Drew and not Ric.
#Dragon Chow by Labor Day.
We had a deal, Frank! That body better not be Ric Lansing.
I mean yes, he will be here eventually. But that’s not the scheduled arrival this week.
We all know who deserves a reloaction to a much warmer climate.
Ric alive and kicking with stitches I suspect. Person in water is Drew Willow Marco or Sidwell. Most likely Drew but he’s not dead or this is dead Drew who was not real Drew. Cut to 5 Poppies and see Cameron our nice guy real Drew. Just my guesses lol.
Pleased no. One Drew is enough!
Lol, Michael Fairman, I was just watching your interview with Maura West and she was talking about how Ava is a reactive impulsive person, she acts before she thinks, then bang,in todays episode she hits Ric over the head, How the hell is she going to get out of this? Kristina to is very impulsive, these two should be BFF, this is going to be fun to watch, I can’t picture the show getting rid of Ric just yet, ( I no longer put anything pass GH ),but for some reason I don’t think they will, so I don’t think he will be the Dead body found this week, I mean this is Port Charles it could be someone random,The whole show was on fire today, we had Maxies sad send off, Molly catching Cody and Ava, Jason and Britt heavy breathing on each other and Drew serving Alexis papers ( damn, Drew really is piling on the enemies),but the show stopper today was definitely Kristina, Ava and Ric going at it, it was great seeing these 3 Emmy winners chew the hell out of each other but when Ava then hit Ric, show stopper for sure.
The keystone cops run the PCPD
Do we have a The Witches of Eastwick meets Nine to Five situation with the three witches (Ava, Alexis and Kristina) holding Ric hostage in the bat infested shed? What’s their end game?

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.
