GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Lulu Needs a Miracle and the Hunt to Find Lucky Is On
This week on General Hospital, Laura’s (Genie Francis) children both find themselves in dire straits. First, Lulu’s diagnosis is revealed. And in the just-released promo for the ABC daytime drama series, Portia (Brooke Kerr) is informing Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Laura the results of the tests ran on a comatose Lulu, who’s liver was initially failing.
In the voice-over, we hear, “She needs a miracle.” And then Laura is heard saying, “The problem is, we don’t know where Lucky is.” We cut to Laura who is visiting Nikolas (Adam Huss) in prison. As longtime viewers know it was Nikolas who first came to Port Charles to save a teenaged Lulu when she needed a bone marrow transplant. His voice is heard saying, “You need to find Lucky and bring him home.”
Meanwhile, in the pick-up from Friday’s episode we see a captured Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), after confronted by yet another unknown man, asking, “Who are you?” At the end of the promo in Jonathan Jackson’s voice, we hear “Just call me Lucky.”

So, does Lucky hold the key to saving Lulu this time? Or is Laura just wanting him back asap to say goodbye to his sister? Stay tuned. Now take a look below at the official GH spoilers for the week of August 26-30th.
MONDAY, AUGUST 26
Tracy is shaken. Laura embarks on a mission. Anna enlists Robert’s help. Jason hears Brennan out. Brook Lynn has an emotional talk with Chase.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 27
Elizabeth and Carly are dumbstruck. Laura delivers dire news. Molly confides in Dex. Ric visits Alexis. Tracy lashes out.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28
Laura makes a big decision. Anna makes her case to Brennan. Sonny’s suspicions are confirmed. Ava is alarmed. Kristina contacts Jason.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 29
Kristina is devastated. Sonny makes a stunning offer. Drew gets a shocking call. Dante opens up to Olivia. Portia and Curtis discuss the future.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 30
Carly puts pressure on Sonny. Alexis faces off with John. Anna is persuasive. Michael worries about Willow. Ava is frightened.
Now, what do you think will go down? Is Lucky the only viable option to save Lulu’s life? Does Laura want her family all-around if this is the end for Lulu?
With the recent casting call going out for a recast in the role, it seems this all could be a great way to have Laura’s children all back on out screens, including if they eventually free Nikolas from prison. Share your thoughts via the comment section, and check out this week’s GH promo.

Oh this is going to be an awesome week! I can’t wait to see how the episodes play out. This feels a bit like the old GH now that we have Lucky back. They have to save Lulu and hopefully bring Nicholas home too.
I am so happy to read Adam Huss is back as Nicolas. Hope we see him more.
If they give Ava’s liver to Lulu I swear to gawd I am going to have trouble watching GH. Oh no, is this how they write Nina off!?! Jeez this is awful. I can see Martha Madison as Lulu. I hope they got her. But if they were determined to bring Lucky back I would have much preferred Greg Vaughn. I know people love Jonathan Jackson but I just don’t see it with all the lip-licking and MMkaying. Maybe he’s grown out of that?
I forgot the constantly swatting that one stray bunch of greasy hairs from his face and snorting/sniffling while looking away from the camera as emphasis. Ugh. Why, GH, WHY must we do this again?
I’m partial to Greg Vaughn also. I think J.J. prefers to be doing music and other acting gigs but I totally understand if he needed to come back to GH for some steady income. And I respect his legacy as the original Lucky. I just know someone who went to many of his concerts and she always bought the meet and greet packages. She said he was often asked by the concert goers if he’d return to GH and his answer was usually No. Anyway I hope he feels fulfilled at GH this time and I wish him well.
You’re right, Carrie. I was being particularly catty because I do not want to lose Maura West and Cynthia Watros. But I do wish JJ well. I just wish TPTB would have gone a different way story-wise.
Martha Madison is 47 and looks it. She’s a good actress and very attractive, but there’s no way she could play Lulu who’s supposed to be around 35 (since the last time they changed her birth date.) Emme Rylan and Julie Berman could easily play that age; I don’t see that Martha can pull that off.
Rumor has it… Jennifer Landon is recast Lulu!!! 🙂
Word on the street is that GH has cast Jennifer Landon as Lulu. 🙂
For the first time in a long while I am feeling optomistic about GH!
I don’t know how much of the downfall recently can be contributed to Patrick mulcahey. But while he was there we saw three major female characters practically destroyed. Laura in that awful save Heather story just made her look stupid. Thankfully CVE? has moved her out of that and she will have a storyline worthy of her with Lulu apparently coming back to life and the thrilling return of Johnathon Jackson.The show seems to be uncommitted to Adam Huss as Nicholas. Greg Vaughn would be a great Nicholas if they had him dye his hair black and had him get rid of that grey beard which ages him.I don’t know why they don’t see him in this role as he would be perfect!!
Anna has also been compromised as a corrupt police commissioner. Hopefully Chris will turn this around. I have always loved Anna but lately she has become really unlikeable.
And of course Ava has been practically destroyed. She had turned a corner and become rootable. The character really regressed into a loathsome evil bitch. I don’t know how much of this is because of PH but it has been difficult to watch. Again hopefully CVE will find a way to undo the damage to the character. In an interview with you Michael , Maura said the change in her character was not lost on her and that it was very sudden!
The final topic I wish to address is the ruination of Adam J Harrington’s character. He is a terrific and great looking actor who’s character of John Cates had such great potential but it appears that he has now been written as a raving lunatic CVE? What a shame! I really hope this is not the end of his character as he was a bright spot in many of the episodes over the last few months.
How do we know Adam Huss is back
Nothing has officially been said yet. But with Lucky soon to be back in town and Lulu waking up from veggieland, it seems logical that Laura might actually have all three of her kids around at the same time, for the first time since….. probably 2010 or so?
Rumor has it that Jennifer Landon is recast Lulu! 🙂
I may have posted to soon… I guess all that happened was a call out to Nicholas
He’s in the weekly preview hugging Genie Francis’ Laura.
Lucky is supposed to be a badass. That would be believable if Greg Vaughn were playing the role but with Jonathan Jackson not so much.
General Hospital
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

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.
