General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Jason Receives Sad News and Bonds with Tracy
Next week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers for the soap opera indicate that the Quartermaine family will be in complete despair, so one can only surmise that this looks to be the moment that the family and viewers will learn that the beloved Monica Quartermaine (the late Leslie Charleson) has died.
In the latest GH fall preview from head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten, they previously teased that Monica’s death and funeral would play out towards the end of September and that six-time Daytime Emmy winner, Erika Slezak (Viki, OLTL) will figure into this story as a new character. Fans believe Slezak will be playing Monica’s sister.
The scribes expressed, “When bidding farewell to her and to Monica, there could be no half-measures. Honoring Leslie’s contribution to General Hospital and Monica’s significance to Port Charles meant doing more than simply throwing a funeral and looking back at the past.”

As for next week’s all-new new episodes, Jason (Steve Burton) and Tracy (Jane Elliot) will connect after learning the somber news, and Jason will voice his regret. Meanwhile, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) delivers bad news to Drew (Cameron Mathison). Is it about Monica, or might he not be able to walk again post surgery, even though he had two bullets successfully taken out of his back?
Elsewhere, the pick-up from Friday’s cliffhanger has Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) and her mother, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) in a massive blow out over Britt’s deception of being alive for over two years and not telling her family; while everyone is hoping that their favorite dog, Outback, will be found after Emma (Braedyn Bruner) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) receive upsetting news!.

Take a look at the spoilers for the week of September 15-19 below.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15
Britt and Obrecht have it out. Anna receives new evidence. Carly expresses her hurt. Drew manipulates Martin. Marco confronts Sidwell.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16
Nina snaps. Molly confides in Elizabeth. Kristina encourages Cody. Lucas opens up to Ava. Emma and Gio get distressing news.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17
Jason delivers somber news. Chase and Dante compare notes. Cody is taken aback. Britt has a scratchy encounter. Kai makes an alarming realization.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18
Britt swallows her pride. Gio asks Sonny for a favor. Tracy and Jason share a moment of connection. Charlotte confides in Lulu. Molly keeps a secret.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19
Lulu helps an accident victim. Jason voices his regrets. Elizabeth delivers bad news to Drew. Danny issues a plea. Gio comes through for Emma.
So, if this indeed the week that the Quartermaine family learns Monica has passed, how do you feel about that? Are you ready to reach for the hankies? Do you think Outback is safe or might he be with Professor Dalton? Would he kidnap the dog to lure Emma into making a slip-up to figure out what she is up to, or does he already know? What has happened to Britt Westbourne? It seems she may have gone back to being in full “Britch” mode, but is it all just a cover-up? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
TOTALLY disgusting that Monica’s death has to be yet another way to glorify Jason. Jason was not even her biological son. Jason was cruel to her for 29 years while he committed his life to being a serial killer for hire. Leslie Charleson deserves SO much more!!!
Does biology really matter if you love your child? It’s not even arguable that Mac is the best father on this show for decades – raising 2 girls he had no biological connection with (as well as his niece). He didn’t get a biological kid until the past two years. He certainly doesn’t love Cody more than Maxie.
Jason and Monica reconciled long ago. Does she approve of all his choices – of course not – but he’s still her son.
Clearly your history is biased towards your dislike for the character of Jason. Monica loved Jason as if he were her own. Jason and Monica’s relationship was obvioulsy strained especially in the years after the accident, but definitely evolved. And based on who is on the canvas today, who else would be most impacted? Besides Tracy and Jason, no one else would be nearly as impacted. Yes, others love her, but don’t have a real history with her. Hopefully Ned will be on as he has a long history with her, but who else, on contract, should be part of the story?
Jason and Monica had a special bond, and really, she was the only mother he knew. You cite the fact that he’s not her biological child but neither was Emily. Nevertheless, Monica had an incredible close bond with her daughter just like she did with Jason. Moreover, Steve Burton has worked with Leslie Charlton for over thirty years. So I think this is okay.
Sounds like your blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
Jason in His Serial Killer, brain damaged way, has NO use for Monica. He has told her that for 29 years. Stop being a proud Serial Killer, and get back to being a Quartermaine.
Jason has never been a serial killer. You must be confusing him with Frodd. Who used the excuse of a brain tumor to get away with years of psychotic killings.
Jason loves the only mother he’s ever known. Look up the scenes with Jason, Monica, and that creepy drug dealing pedo Pierce Dornan from 1997.
And Jason moved back to the mansion for the sake of his son Danny, but I’m sure Monica apprecioted him being around during her declining health as well. (At least when he’s not busy in France or Croatia)
What??!!
There’s a lot to unload here, I know it’s just gonna be really sad once the news comes out that Monica has passed away. We all knew this moment was gonna come and it doesn’t make it easier. We are all assuming that Monicas passing will be tied to Erika Slezak introduction, it will be interesting to see how is she connected to Monica? and not just that but how will she interact with GH all star cast, I’m just dying to see her in scenes with Jane Elliot, that will be must see TV if their pitted as foe. Also, who will she be an ally too? Can you imagine if she becomes and ally to the likes of Drew? As for the other storyline playing out, Mutter gave her own offspring a “Britt” slap, ouch!, you could see the hurt in Britts eyes, I hope they find little outback soon, I’m not sure she’s safe with the Spencers here, sorry Rocco and Charlotte, but poor Outback needs a better home. I can’t wait for NuEmma in scenes with Britt, I hope she’s bitchy with her,( little Emma aint little anymore Britt.) side note, can Gio hook up with somebody? I prefer Emma, but that would be to soon, this guy has been on the show for a while and I have seen him get it on with anyone, Does he wanna be a priest? cause nothing wrong with that at all if he does. Lastly, another side note, Does Jason have to be the center of every storyline? I’m already tired with him showing up in everyone storyline to come in and save the day, so he’s rescued Britt(expected), and Josslyn( because this new group of spies really suck), they’ll probably have him solve Drews shooting, we all know he’ll have the saddest more watery eyes at Monicas memorial, and on an on an on. Still the show is must see TV, I’m enjoying the show a lot this season, hated last year for sure.
Yeah. They even had Jason be in Robert Scorpio’s last scene when it should have been Anna.
If you remember the back story, Jason was the only one that was in Robin’s side when she needed someone. Robin was Robert’s daughter. Jason also helped Sasha which was also Robert’s daughter. So, yes, I can see this being realistic. And regarding having Anna being part of the storyline, maybe it was feasible at the time.
I do enjoy the current dynamic between Tracy and Jason now that she has softened a lot.

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.

Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills.

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.
