The week of April 1-5 brings with it the pick up of the action from last week in Port Charles, where viewers witnessed a shift in several key storylines and characters. With new head writers, Patrick Mulcahey and Elizabeth Korte, steering the direction of the stories, it will be interesting to see what comes next.

Official teasers for GH share that Jason (Steve Burton) will at long last visit with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and their son, Jake (Hudson West). Since Jason’s return, Jake has not been too pleased with his dad. Now that Jason has been cleared of shooting Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), will Jake come around and be closer to Jason, or will there be a continued rift? Meanwhile, will Elizabeth and Jason find common ground?

Elsewhere, John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington) devises a new plan to take down Pikeman. Is Cates aware that Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) is running the organization while Brennan (Charles Mesure) remains behind bars? What will his plan be?

In other key points, Dex (Evan Hofer) gets an interview with the PCPD. Might he be joining the ranks with Anna (Finola Hughes), Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), Chase (Josh Swickard) et al?

Well Michael you yourself said it, at long last Jason visits Elizabeth and her son, even this new writing regime seems to favor Carly and Sam, we all know or rumor had it that when Jason was shot he was going to show up at Elizabeth door not Carly but that it was changed, so hopefully this reunion will have leg, and something more will come of it, at least storyline wise for Rebecca, its just heartbreaking seeing her play second fiddle when she should be front and center in a lot of this storyline playing. To much Carly and all the men they put her in scenes with, there’s Jason, drew jagger now, and sonny and the pikeman guy, geez I mean come on she’s not that alluring, give the other gals intown some attention.

Jason Morgan should have stayed dead. Not sure what GH was thinking but when they have a man choose another woman over (that’s not his wife) over his actual wife and kids, that’s just the worst kind of writing there is. These writers don’t consider BH a lead and they will never write a story for her. Today was the day I took GH off of my DVR. I have watched this show since the 80’s. I have hoped and prayed for a Liason reunion, but this is the final nail in the coffin. I truly hope the show loses the remaining viewers. I have no desire to watch another round of disgusting Jarly.

A “shift?” They’ve abruptly changed way too many characters behavior and feelings, without any gradual change. They went from A to Z with Joss, Anna, Dex, Sonny, Ava, Valentin. Maybe it’ll be worth it down the road after the shock wears off, but right now I feel like I’m watching an alternate GH universe. I still don’t know why they didn’t keep the fill-in writers who worked during the strike. I personally thought they were great. Stories moved at a quicker pace, the scenes were warmer between the characters, less emphasis on ripping Nina apart, and the characters weren’t too altered.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

Published

on

By

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.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Published

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.
