GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Tensions In and Out of the Courtroom Reach a Boiling Point; Someone is Left in Crisis
Tensions are running high and reach the breaking point the week of July 29th on General Hospital. In the just released promo for the ABC daytime drama series, much of the action is inside and outside of the courtroom. When the judge says “All rise,” Jason (Steve Burton) is next to Sonny (Maurice Benard), while Cates (Adam J. Harrigton) is behind them to the side, and Carly (Laura Wright) is about to have her day in court.
As viewers know, last week, Sonny went to get his gun to use it on Cates for trying to takedown his ex-wife and the mother to his daughter. Meanwhile, Ava (Maura West) looks mighty pleased with herself as this is the moment she has been waiting for. She says that Sonny is “going to have a total meltdown.” In another scene, Sonny is about to attack John outside of the courtroom, and Brennan (Charles Mesure) is back. Will he turn up evidence to help Carly?
Elsewhere, Kristina (Kate Mansi) is shocked when she opens her door and is served papers, as TJ (Tajh Bellow) tells Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) they have a problem with Kristina. He asks her what is she going to do about the situation, concerning the arrangement they had that with her daughter. From all accounts, it appears Kristina wants to keep the unborn child and not terminate her rights to the child, so Molly (Krist and TJ can adopt it.

And, in the final moment of the preview, someone is looking on from a far at Ava. Is she a target? Lastly, a women’s voice is heard saying, “Help her!” Taking all that into consideration, check out the official GH spoilers for the week below.

Ugh. The Carly Mob Hour is returning, and it’s so upsetting. And knowing the set-up to remove Ava Jerome from the show is also upsetting. The heart and complexity Patrick Mulcahey was bringing to this stale soap is slowly being removed for more violence and darkness, and that is not what this soap is at its truest and purest core. Shame. And disappointment.
Please bring Brennan back !!! He is amazing ! Love to see him with Anna. Love to see a real Carly and Jason lovestory. Enough of Cates. Ava and Rick would be outstanding ! Maura West is fabulous !!
Patty, I’m loving this Brennan guy, but can’t make up my mind which lady should get the prize! Anna is still in love with Valentin and Brennan is interested in Carly. Yes, Maura West is a good actress but I’m really sick of her evil ways to get what she wants.
I Am getting really sick of all this STUFF! Carly and Jason act ridiculous, are they IN love or what? Their relationship is totally stupid.and tiresome. I hope someone does do Ava in, she’s a despicable person, always causing trouble for someone, and sorry to her fans, but she has no redeeming qualities, and if I were a man, could not find her the least bit attractive.John and Ava are just using each other and I see nothing real there.I really miss GH, the way it was and am surly not not looking to a new Luke Spencer , if that s true. Sorry about the rant, but it’s worse than it’s ever been, including Alexis’s daughters and what a mess they are. The only good thing was Molly telling John off at the Court House.
Totally agree with you about the Jason/Carly thing. Carly acts like a high school kid regarding Jason. And both of them overlook their own children to save each other.
I’m starting to wonder if there’s a twist coming here. That little meltdown at the end of Monday’s episode made a Devil wonder if Sonny’s not the only one who is off his meds. Because NuJagger looked even more irrational than Sonny.
So who’s messing with HIS prescription, if that’s the case?
I would like to see nuJagger melt down while Sonny sits and watches with his smirk on his face. I want redemption for Sonny and for Valentine and Ava to be exposed for tampering with Sonny’s meds. Tampering with a person’s meds is despicable, but is a GH “tradition” going alway the way back to Tracy withholding Edwards meds during his heartache.
I agree with your statement totally. I also can’t understand the crazy Pharmacist that is letting this go on ,with only a dumb blonde’s threats to scare his pants off.
Was your tongue in your cheek as you typed this, or were you serious, because I was going to say that Jagger needed some meds himself. He looked like he was going to have a Coronary. Oh, well, one can only hope.
No I was 666% serious! I expected Sonny to get pissed off, since NuJagger was clearly goading him into it. But Jagger was way out of control,first the way he was talking to Molly, just because she happens to be Sonny’s niece. And then just absolutely exploding at the end with all that dragonshit about Stone & Karen… who of course have nothing at all to do with any alleged crimes committed by Sonny and/or Corinthos Coffee, LLC.
I really think he might have some bipolar issues going on himself. Wouldn’t it be one HELL of a twist if Sonny was the one who helped him realize this, and told him how to deal with it.
Which of course, is pretty much what he did for Karen back in the day… once they started writing Sonny as a real character, and not the 13 week disposable strip club manager without a last name.
Sonny helped Karen back in the day? All I remember was he took advantage of her; made her strip, got her hooked on pills, and when she wanted to leave kept pushing pills at her which is why Scotty AND Jagger hate him to this day (as well as issues Jagger has with Sonny over Stone).
And, not sure if you’re joking but if you’re not, I don’t think Jagger’s got mental issues. I just think he’s filled with utter resentment & hostility for Sonny, and is driven to take him down. The more he’s thwarted, the more he’s about to pop. Kinda how I feel each time I watch Carly get away with everything she does. Every, single, thing. lol
Michael Fairman, do you have any idea why my post immediately disappears the minute I click Post Comment?
Michael, I can confirm that posts seem to disappear from view almost instantly after they are posted. They do reappear later, so I’m guessing this is something to do with the “moderation” process that all posts go through before becoming a permanent part of the thread, that can be read by all.
I have observed this using both Firefox & Chromium based browsers, and on Windows & Linux machines and Android phones, so it appears to be part of the forum software, and not dependent on the end user’s configuration.
It seems to disappear while it’s pending, then resurfaces when approved. I think that’s a recent change.
On another note, I never get notified when I have a reply. Used to. Did you change that? And, is the edit option ever going to work? Thanks…

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.

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.
