GENERAL HOSPITAL: Christmas Miracles for Valentin, Charlotte and Britt
The Christmas Eve episode of General Hospital brought with it some heart-tugging moments and what would be perceived as Santa working his magic to bring some yuletide miracles to those who wished for a special something or someone.
First, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) is begrudgingly working at the hospital on Christmas Eve when she runs into Lucas (Van Hansis) and they call a true for the holiday. However, she goes on to explain that tensions are still on ice with her mutter, Liesl (Kathleen Gati). So even though Nina (Cynthia Watros) and her mom are going over to the Scorpios for Christmas, she is not, so it’s best she is at work.
Later, she gets a photo texted to her by Liesl of her mutter and her brother, Nathan (Ryan Paevey) together. Lucas thinks that it’s nice her mom is thinking of her and it’s a step forward. At Carly’s (Laura Wright), Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) is up in the attic making a mini-Christmas tree, when Donna (Scarlett Spears) walks in and he has to hide.

Following that, Carly heads up to the attic and tells Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) that Donna thinks Santa put up the tree. Valentin laments that this is his first Christmas without his daughter, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke). He thanks Carly for letting him stay in her house and wishes her the best to enjoy the holiday with her family. Brennan (Chris McKenna) had stopped by Carly’s, too. After all his platitudes towards her and hugs and kiss, which she now clearly despises, he heads out after Kristina (Kate Mansi) shows up with ribbon to help Donna wit.
Once outside of Carly’s, Jack makes a call to pull the trigger on Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). Back at the hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucas (Van Hansis) are talking about how bad they feel for Portia (Brook Kerr), that she will be spending the holiday alone (after her lies and her affair with Isaiah came out on the witness stand at Willow’s trial). Britt returns to the hub and Lucas notices she just got a notification on her phone. She looks and learns that her medical license has been reinstated! She screams, “Merry Christmas to me!”

At the Ashfords, Jordan (Tanisha Harper) shows up for Christmas. In front of the entire family, Trina (Tabyana Ali) offers up an apology. Sh says she has been unfair and blamed Jordan for her parents’ break up. Trina also apologizes to Curtis (Donnell Turner) for accusing him of cheating on her mom. Later, she and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) talk about Portia and that she hasn’t got a message from her mom on Christmas Eve. Kai says maybe her mom is respecting her enough not to bother her, when she knows how upset Trina was at her for lying and learning she had an affair with Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) during Willow’s trial.
Now at Sonny’s (Maurice Benard), Carly arrives and notices Charlotte looking at the keychain Valentin had her deliver. Suddenly, Carly says she forgot her mom’s nativity set and asks Charlotte to come outside and help her bring it in. Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) finally gives a small peace offering to his dad, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) after heeding the message from his brother, Gio (Giovanni Mazza). He offers his dad the last half of a cookie without saying a word.

At GH, Isaiah walks Portia out of the hospital arm and arm as Britt texts Liesl that she got her license back, while Brennan now lingers in the background at the hospital. Elsewhere at the Scorpios, couples kiss and hug including Gio and Emma (Braedyn Bruner).
In the final moment of the episode, Carly leads Charlotte to the attic of her house where she opens the door and sees her father, Valentin standing there. The two run to each other and embrace. Valentin looks over at Carly and says, “Thank you.” We fade to black.
So, what did you think of General Hospital’s Christmas episode? Did you have a favorite moment from it? Were you glad to see Valentin and Charlotte reunite, thanks to Carly? What do you think of Britt getting her medical license back and what she will owe Jack Brennan in the process? Previously, Britt had refused to cooperate with the WSB unless her license was restored. And what of Portia? Will she move on in her life with Isaiah? If so, do you then think the baby she is carrying will turn out to be Curtis’, thus complicating this entire situation even further? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section. But first, check out Trina’s apology from her family in the video below.
I love this episode so much. The payoff of seeing Valentin with Charlotte gave the same feelings that I had when Michael walked into the Nurses’s Ball. I REALLY want Valentin and Carly to have a great love story. This would be a great umbrella storyline for Carly, Valentine, Jason, Sonny, Anna, Charlotte, Lulu among others. JPS is one of daytime’s best actors. Let’s make him a major part of the canvas.
Carly and Valentin? No. Ick. No. Carly gets all of the men and she has zero chemistry with all of them. Valentin is Anna’s, and they actually have chemistry.
They have zero chemistry too.

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.
