GENERAL HOSPITAL Promo: A Fire Changes Everything for the Corinthos Family, Cyrus Continues to be a Threat
As previewed, in the just released ABC promo for the action this week on General Hospital, it is quite explosive, literally! As had been teased, Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) penthouse will become a blaze.
We hear the voice-over of Michael (Chad Duell) saying he “filed for divorce,” in what looks to be a discussion with his father, Sonny. Next, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) looks absolutely shocked. Is it about the divorce filing or something else?
At GH, Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) tells chief of staff, Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), “There is someone in this hospital who is killing people.” We know that digitalis had been injected in the IV’s of Sam McCall and Dex Heller. Cut to an evil and glaring Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) leaving the hospital in an elevator as he stares down Portia. Does she suspect Cyrus is the culprit? Is he targeting her as his next victim?

Later, an emotional Carly (Laura Wright) looks beside herself as she may be reeling from news at the hospital. Does she learn that her son Michael is the one who was engulfed in flames signaling the end of Chad Duell’s run? Stay tuned.
Check out the video promo for the drama the week of January 6th-10th in Port Charles below.
Now weigh in, what do you think will happen with the fire and Michael? Is Cyrus responsible? Who will be his next victim? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
Buh-bye Michael Corinthos, and buh-bye whoever else is killing Cyrus is planning to kill.
I thought when Sonny was having the trouble with his heart when he was at the gym was because Cyrus had somehow gotten Digitalis into him.
Normally, I’m not in favor of them destroying sets for storyline purposes (still miss Mac’s house, Anna’s townhome and the Floating Rib). However, Sonny’s penthouse set is really not attractive and can definitely use an upgrade. Maybe they’ll have him move into an updated version of Sam’s now abandoned unit.
This turn of events could be great leverage for Ava to get custody of Avery long term.
Sonny can buy another house; Ava can’t even afford to pay attention.
He’ll probably move in with Carly or that other bimbo he’s been hanging with. At least with Carly they will have the loss of Michael in common, even if he is sent away to a special facility for treatment.
I’m no fan of Ava but poor Avery, didn’t see ĥer mother anyway, but at least she had Sonny , Carly and her family.
Sonny could just move across the hall to Jason’s penthouse. It’s been vacant since Sam died. And both Jason & Dante have been living at the Q mansion.
Though moving back into his old house with Carly is very likely, since Sonny’s first concerns when it comes to security breaches are usually his kids.
Yep
I was proud of Michael today for finally verbalizing what we all realized about Willow a long time ago. He’s finally realizing how screwed up she is and that she’s not the angel he thought she was. Michael recognizing her pattern of behavior was the best part of the show, especially starting with why she fell for Chase. It just emphasized the fact that Chase dodged a bullet when Willow left him. He’s better off without her. They both are. I’ll take Michael and Chase’s friendship over either of them dating Willow any day. I’m so glad they were able to get past Michael’s affair with Willow. She’s not worth losing that friendship over forever. Michael definitely should’ve listened to Diane about taking an aggressive first strike against Willow.
Willow’s always been boring, and this cheating storyline hasn’t changed that. lol She’s insufferable with her “woe is me, I’m such a victim” act. I’ve never liked her, especially since she cheated on Chase. Chase/Willow were just as boring as Michael/Willow, though. I didn’t love them or hate them, because they were just kind of there. They were inoffensive, so I didn’t have a strong reaction to them one way or the other. It wasn’t some great love story with amazing chemistry. They were fine when they were onscreen, but I didn’t miss them when they weren’t. The only reason Chase/Willow were only slightly less boring than Michael/Willow is because Josh Swickard has a knack for generating chemistry with his love interests: Nelle, Willow, Brook Lynn.
The common denominator here is Willow. She brought Chase and Michael’s characters down, and made both relationships boring. Chad Duell had great chemistry with Sofia Mattsson, so it didn’t really make sense to break up Michael and Sasha. They should’ve just found someone else for Willow, because she wasn’t great with Chase or Michael. And, she’s treated them both like crap now. She really should just avoid marriage, since she falls in love too quickly and easily with men who are not her husband.
I couldn’t help laughing at Willow’s shock that Michael filed for divorce, and wants primary custody while giving her supervised visits. What did she think was going to happen after everything she’s done in the aftermath of her affair being revealed? She tried to take the kids without telling him, limited Michael’s contact with his children on Christmas, spent Christmas with Drew, and then took Wiley to D.C. with her and Drew without telling Michael. LOL Now, she’s worried about the sex tape ruining Drew’s career?
While Martin’s right about how courts normally don’t like to take kids from their mother, this is different. I loved his reaction to finding out that she was in D.C. (the wince), especially when he started ranting to Laura about his client making stupid decisions and making his job harder. LOL So true. Willow’s such an idiot. Drew making Michael out to be the bad guy is despicable, and his “I love you”s are over the top and creepy at this point. Can we stop that? I don’t want to hear it.
This is a soap opera people.
Um. This is the soap opera comment section, Mary. Folks do not need to be reminded that it is a soap opera. These type of statements are not only unnecessary, they’re obnoxious.
Yes. And? It should still make sense. Willow’s obsession with Drew that led to her kissing him behind Michael’s back for months came out of nowhere. That wasn’t built up well. Willow sleeping with Drew wasn’t surprising after she’d already been carrying on an emotional affair with him for months and had cheated on her previous husband with Michael. It’s the fact that her infatuation with Drew which led up to it wasn’t written well to sell this so-called love story.
Plus, she’s continuing to play the victim instead of accepting responsibility. Willow and Drew are acting like the victims here when they’re not.
At least when Liz cheated on Lucky with Nikolas, Elizabeth and Nikolas owned up to it. Elizabeth accepted Lucky’s hurt and anger. She acknowledged that there was no excuse for what she did, and Nikolas was genuinely remorseful that he’d betrayed his brother in the worst way possible. Liz also had the decency to admit to Nikolas that she’d blown up her boys’ lives, question what the hell was wrong with her and throw him out, telling him she didn’t want to be around him at that point. When she was finally alone, she legitimately broke down in tears over losing Lucky. She also never tried to run off with the kids without telling him, take the boys from him or leave town with the kids without telling him, let alone with the man she cheated on him with. Liz didn’t try to make Nikolas her sons’ new daddy.
Willow has done/shown none of that. She has no remorse, no regrets and no regard for Michael’s feelings whatsoever. She’s basically trying to replace him with Drew as her kids’ father. If this storyline was written better, it might actually be interesting – soapy in a good way. It’s not, though. She’s whining and complaining about Michael, acting like she’s the victim and like she had no idea he was capable of being vindictive. lol Willow didn’t have any problem with Michael being vindictive when it benefited her. Now, all of a sudden, she’s horrified and doesn’t know him at all? lol Drew acting like a victim is even worse, especially since he cared more about sleeping with Willow than comforting his daughter the night Sam died.
So sad! Why would they take michael out that way? Worst episode ever
So dishisting- have watched that show for many,many years and am done now
If you mean b take him out, kill him, they didn’t. He’s not being killed off.
He’ll definitely be back, maybe with a different face. The fire reminds me of Lucky’s “death” in 1999. When he does return, I hope he goes scorched earth on Willow and Drew before/while reuniting with Sasha.
I agree 100 % with you.
Why Portia is allowing Cy to creep around the hospital is beyond me!
It’s frustrating the writers haven’t allowed the other cast members to figure out Cyrus is the one killing the patients. Especially since he had so much free reign in the hospital all of this time. I’ll be so glad when and if that character is gone for good. He’s just too creepy. I understand shows need villains, but he’s also like a predator and he’s difficult to watch.
Did not see GH on TV today, watched it on Utube. Portia better watch her back , after she threw Cyrus out of GH, she’ll be his next victim.
Wonder how much trouble the new owner of Windemere will cause Lucy and her big nose?
Cyrus and the dirty, evil stare he gave Portia. …with his fake born-again self. Please let someone bring him to justice soon. He’s been there too long. He’s like a disturbing cult leader and GH has already had one of those.
Sad he’s leaving and someone please kill Cyrus off
So it looks like the writers are reading what a Devil posts here. A few months back I thought that Lorenzo Alcazar would buy Windermere because what makes a better home for an international fugitive paranoid about his own security than a literal castle with it’s own island?
So for what ever reason Alcazar hasn’t shown up but now we have Sidwell buying Windermere for the very same reasons.
Now here’s the question.. he sure seemed to enjoy the view of the Port Charles skyline from across the water. Was he expecting to see a “fireworks show”. Coming from Sonny’s penthouse, maybe?
Not sure why exactly Sidwell would have a beef with Sonny though. While Sonny did discuss “fencing” Sidwell’s diamonds with Holly, the deal never took place and Sidwell got his poached diamonds back (after kidnapping Sasha of course).
On the other horn Jason has ruined Sidwell’s plans twice now so he might have a grudge against Jason. Did he bomb the wrong penthouse by mistake??
I missed yesterday Jan 6 programming. Where can I watch it. Thanks
Go to abc.com. GH will appear in the list of programs. If you put in your tv provider, you’ll gain access to Monday’s episode.
I thought the fire scene was very well done. Soapy, dramatic, unexpected (unless you read spoilers). We know they’re not killing Michael off, so “Michael” will be off canvas in a burn unit (possible coma). Chad Duell said they left the door open for his return if he chooses to come back. If they’re doing that, then I assume his body will be burned but his face will remain intact. If they decide to recast, they’ll go with his face burned so badly he needed plastic surgery, route….
Michael will go away for rehabilitation leaving it open whether the actor wants to return to the roller. Maybe I’ll come back looking like Morgan..
It was hard to watch Michael engulfed in flames. Whether he lives or dies, Willow will have the freedom to be with her lover. No pity for her when she finds out about Nina and Drew. Too bad she can’t be loyal and she never deserved Michael who forgave her for not telling him about her leukemia. He would even be willing to work on their marriage after she cheated on him. When the truth about Nina and Drew comes out, she’ll whine and feel hurt because she thinks Drew owes her loyalty. Willow turned into an annoying character and could have been a good one considering all of the challenges she faced and survived.
Yeah it will be interesting to see how she handles the truth about Nina and Drew. Will she run to another man to save her again? Will she finally notice her patterns and address them? Carly will never stay out of her business now, that’s for sure. She’ll have to toughen up.
I will miss Michael so sad they took him out that way fire so sad
No no no no no no no !!!!!!! Stop this madness!!!!!
I think Sidwell is responsible for the fire at Sonnys. Michael will be badly burned.

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

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.
