GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Willow Defends Her Actions: Being with Drew? Taking Michael’s Children to Nina’s … or Serving Him Separation Papers?
While it is a shortened week of episodes, three originals, one encore, and one full preemption, the action on ABC’s General Hospital from December 23-27th looks to bring the drama and some holiday reunions.
Coming up, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) seemingly will defend her actions, but which actions? Having sex with Drew (Cameron Mathison), taking Michael’s (Chad Duell) children and bringing them to Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) or does she just mean serving Michael with legal separation papers?
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Katelyn MacMullen weighed-in on what she thinks her GH alter-ego wants things to go from here. “I think that right now, she would literally say, ‘I don’t know what I want, and that’s what’s driving me crazy.’ I know that she doesn’t want her family to get hurt or caught in the crossfire of her decision-making. She doesn’t want to hurt Michael. She doesn’t want to ruin her family, essentially. She doesn’t want to want Drew the way she does. I think Willow is so unclear about what she wants; it’s all about knowing what she doesn’t want and then sort of acting against her better instincts about it. I think it’s all very confusing to her.”

Elsewhere, Carly (Laura Wright) made a bold move by inviting Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure) to Christmas with the Corinthos family, where he meets Sonny (Maurice Benard). Look for these two to clash; certainly over Carly, and certainly over which sides of the law they are seemingly on. Meanwhile, Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) are getting closer and they take a stroll down memory lane. Will the Christmas mistletoe bring a kiss between the exes? Stay tuned.
Check out the official GH spoilers for the week below:

Elizabeth is alarmed. Alexis is thrown for a loop. Dante issues a warning to Sonny. Ava gets key intel. Kristina makes an offer.

So, which action by Willow are you most upset about at this point? Having an affair with Drew, taking Michael’s kids to Nina’s, or serving Michael separation papers?
Still to come: Willow finding out her mother had sex with Drew on several occasions ,and that Michael turned to Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) and had sex with her after finding out about Willow’s infidelity. And, let’s not forget about the fact that Sasha is pregnant with Michael’s baby! Will she ever tell him? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
Right now, Willow is on my you know what list. Am so disappointed in her character. I just loved how she stood up to Nina years ago when she had that brat Charlotte in her class. Then to find out Nina was her mother and the psyco Nelle her half sister, that would make anyone nuts, but this crap with Drew is just disgusting and thoroughly unacceptable. Wonder if she feels as Cameron does in real life, about it becoming a really romantic union?
I don’t believe they took Willow with her superior morals & let her have sex with Drew & I was disappointed at how easily Michael had sex with Sasha. smh!! & I can’t believe Nina selfishness allowed it all to unfold
So Nina is responsible for Michael and Willow cheating on each other? What utter rubbish!
Harry, I despise Nina, but you are right, she had nothing to do with Willow and Drew hitting the sheets. She was as shocked as everyone else.Michael and Sasha just shared the same bed as they shared each other’s misery.
Seems like Nina haters can’t let go. I can’t believe anyone likes Willow after how she treated Nina upon learning she was her mother. There was not ONE rational reason for Willow’s hatred of Nina; it was so beyond ridiculous She loved Carly, who lied, stole her DNA, was never going to tell Nina and Willow they were mother and daughter; she forgave Harmony who lied to her her entire life, dragged her to a commune, drugged her so Shiloh could rape her, but Nina? Her actual mother who lost over 20 years of her life to a coma, who she was taken from at birth, she’s who Willow decided to “hate.” I see red even typing it out and reliving the maliciousness of that story. And even now, Nina “thanks” her for inviting her places. It’s cringe-worthy. One would have hoped the writing would have been better; Nina shouldn’t be running around trying to get her daughter to love her. And, yeah, these people blaming Nina for Willow’s decisions. Willow’s about thirty; she judged Nina for being with Sonny, then turns around and lies to Michael’s face for over a year, crushes on Drew, runs to him when she thinks he’s in need, has sex with him, and is idiotic enough to invite him to Christmas at Nina’s the day after the whole family finds out she and Drew slept together, and yet Nina haters are blaming NIna. LOL; I can’t…
I agree..Nina is not to be blamed for this but she should tell her daughter before she finds out.
I’m completely fed up with this same love triangle for like 30 years.Even the next generation played the same stupid game
Willow needs to step back and get a psychologist to help her understand why she’s making these decisions. Why is she so infatuated with men who “save the day”. What does Willow really want? Drew who will move on to the next woman tomorrow, Michael who does love her or stand up on her own to figure out what her needs are. As for Drew he has become creepy and he is not Luke/Laura material, his ego is too big.
Exactly. Drew is the new Shiloh.
I think Willow wants a daddy and Drew fits the bill in many ways, also saving her from the big,bad wolf, which seems to be himself,but she doesn’t see it yet.
Willow and Drew is not the couple that CM think they are and hopefully #GH will find away to not allow it to go any further. The show always manages to find doom and gloom during a holiday and destroying a family and propping another. All of a sudden a Mom can have papers served to hee daughters husband unrealistic.
Lots of things wrong with this storyline and CM boasting about it really shows how much they are trying to prop it. Just not a good story too many holes in it..
Love certainly is not.

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.
