GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cates Goads Sonny That He’ll Be Sitting Beside Him in Court, “Listing Off All The Despicable, Disgusting, Criminal Things You’ve Ever Done “
John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington) may have the ammo he finally needs to bring Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) down, thanks to a tip from Ava Jerome (Maura West), or does he? On the Monday July 29th episode of General Hospital, it becomes very apparent to all, just how low Agent Cates will stoop in his vendetta against Sonny.
Already, Carly (Laura Wright), who is in police custody and is about to go before a judge on RICO violations, and Jason (Steve Burton), who got the evidence Cates demanded on Pikeman to set him free, but was lied to and almost sent out of Port Charles for good again know that this FBI agent means serious business and wants to take down Sonny by any means possible.
In story, Cates arrives at Ava’s room at the Metro Court. He asks her if he can park his suitcases there for a bit as he tells Ava he needs to change and get to the courthouse. Cates goes off on Sonny. Then Ava tells him her long held secret after they discuss how volatile Sonny can be.

Knowing exactly what she is doing, Ava swears she found this out by pure accident. However, Sonny is very under-medicated. Because his behavior was so volatile at times while she was living with him, she decided to have one of his two medications tested, and it came back as the wrong dosage.
Cates asks if she ever told Sonny and she admits she didn’t. Cates thanks her for the useful information that he can use if Sonny were to go for his throat. Ava pretends that never crossed her mind, but it could help her if Sonny loses his cool, making him look like an unfit parent in her custody battle for Avery.

Sonny arrives to the courthouse. Michael (Chad Duell) tells him that Carly asked him to meet him here. Then, Sonny comes upon Cates arguing with Molly (Kristen Vaganos) who was there from the District Attorney’s office. Cates wants all the files on Sonny’s criminal activities. She says that would take a lot of time to do that. Molly admits that Sonny is her uncle and he goes in on her when he spots Sonny out of the corner of his eye. At that point, Cates begins taunting Molly and asked if Corinthos has tried to get her to strip or dance for him (a la the late Karen Wexler, Jagger’s ex).
Next, Sonny comes upon the scene and Cates continues to provoke him! He screams, “I got your boy Jason and your girl Carly because you threw them away just like you threw away Karen and Stone!” Sonny lunges at Cates, but Michael stops his father and tells him that Cates isn’t worth it.
However, Cates doesn’t stop there, he tells him that Jason will talk to protect Carly …. and Sonny is going down. He adds, “I will be sitting right beside you listing off all the despicable, disgusting, criminal things you ever did you’ve ever done you son of a bitch!” As Sonny and Cates are about to go at it even further … we fade to black.
So, does Cates have a very valid point about Sonny’s past and criminal activities? Do you think Sonny will have a complete meltdown and Ava and Cates’ plan will work, or do you think it will blow up in their faces? Share your theories via the comment section below.
Jagger is not long for this world. He has pissed too many people off. Bye bye.
Well.. as long as it isn’t Ava. I still want to see Nicholas return and like them together. Adam Huss is missed.
I can’t remember which Nikolas she clobbered over the head, then threw him in to a closet out in a shed, not even bothering to find out if he was dead or alive! And you want to see them back together? Well, I’d like to see the same thing happen to that bitch!
NuJagger is looking every bit as unmedicated as Sonny lately. That unhinged meltdown in the middle of the courthouse is not something a supposed professional agent of law enforcement should be doing.
Cates snarling in today’s episode was overkill.
My God, he was practically foaming at the mouth, what an ass!
both sonny and jagger are loosing it, and its hard to feel sympathy for either, I mean clearly the show has chosen to make jagger a villian, and of course sonny the misunderstood under medicated anti hero (who seriously needs to get back on his med) sonny is just plain unbearable, I’m not invested in Nujagger since they’ve chosen to clearly be the bad guy in this storyline, I’m more worried about Ava, yeah she’s been really naughty lately but I hope the show isn’t going to kill her off. Jagger and Sonny could have a shoot out for all I care.

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. 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.

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.
