GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cody Gets Himself Committed to Ferncliff to Save Sasha
Wednesday’s recap of General Hospital saw Cody (Josh Kelly) willing to do anything to help Sasha (Sofia Mattson) including; making himself look unstable or in need of a mental health facility for treatment.
Sam (Kelly Monaco) is in on Cody’s plan, and although she has reservations, she goes through with it. He assures Sam, it’s the only way he can get in to see Sasha.
The two meet with a psychiatrist named Dr. Brooks. Sam gives examples of Cody climbing out on the ledge of his seventh-floor apartment, and walking in traffic. Cody complains he doesn’t want to be here, and the doctor asks, “In his office or here in general?” Cody says, “On this planet, what is the point.” Alone with the doctor, Cody says he is having more suicidal impulses than thoughts, and that climbing out on the ledge of an apartment building from the seventh-floor, or walking in traffic, is an adrenaline rush.

Meanwhile, out in the hallway of GH, Sam intentionally spills coffee all over Dr. Montague (Darin Toonder) as he happens by. She apologizes as he drops his phone, and Sam picks it up, and sees Gladys (Bonnie Burroughs) is calling him. Sam tells ‘Monty’ that she is waiting for a friend and that she wishes she had some cards to play a game with to pass the time. He asks, what her game of choice is. Like clockwork, Sam says “Poker.” Sam goes on to say, she loves the feel of the cards in her hands which he concurs, he does too! Dr. Montague happens to know where there is a game tonight and gives her his card if she wants the info.
Later, after convincing Dr. Brooks he needs to be admitted to Ferncliff, (before he is taken away by an orderly) Sam tells Cody that his plan to save Sasha better work, or she will kill him.
However, Dr. Montague arrives to see Sasha and asks Nurse Janice (Lauren Swickard) how she is doing. Janice says Sasha is showing signs of paranoia and claims that he’s the one who has been drugging her all along! Dr. Montague sharply says that Sasha is deteriorating, and it’s time for “drastic measures.” An angry ‘Monty” goes into see Sasha alone. Sasha freak outs and requests that he leave. Dr. Montague refuses to do such a thing, and says he, “stays by his patients to the very end.”
So, what do you think of Cody playing mentally ill, so he can try to get Sasha out of Ferncliff? Do you want the drugging of Sasha to stop already? Have you seen enough? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
This story has had me very nervous at times because it’s been tough watching the evil doctor keep Sasha drugged for so long and nobody there to help her. It looks like we might get the payoff at long last. GH does have a great way of dragging out storylines and I do like that because that was the old way of telling stories back in the day. I can’t wait for all hell to break loose!
I don’t like any of the stories on GH. Terrible topics. And am tired of making Sonny a good bad guy. Increasingly I’m not rushing to watch each day and am not glued to the screen when I do.
If anyone can do it, it’s Cody. Just hope he doesn’t get caught at his own game.
No television show should ever trivialize suicide! How did this ever get on the air?
I hope everything happens quickly to get Sasha out safely and the truth. Everyone is getting too close to be stupid this long. I thought Cody could have kidnapped Sasha, hiding out together while he helps her detox,in the meantime the truth comes out. Obviously she’s going to be saved but now I guess there’s going to be problems getting Cody out
Hope it’s a quick end to this part of the story. Definitely don’t like Sasha in Ferncliff or that awful Dr. Montague. Hope Sam goes to the poker game and blows it wide open! It would be cool to see Nurse Janice help Cody and Sasha escape!
I feel like such a fool—I was so adamant having Josh on the show—WOW.!! Bite my tongue. I was not familiar with the actor. I did not like him and refused to see how great an actor he truly is. -I am so impressed with his acting skills. He is one phenomenal thespian. Very credible. I apologize, Josh!!
I have no place to put this—so…. I had suggested that the warden may be Pikeman? Is it a possibility? Why would she say that Cyrus left her out to be hanged?? ( people are hanged—objects are hung)—anyway, i like this plot… A little mystery is needed.
Also, who’s working with Tracy? Luke?
The warden is apparently working with Cyrus the Virus, so she’s probably affiliated with the so-called “Pawtuck Mafia”, though I doubt she’s the female “boss” that FrAustin & Mason were talking about for months.
The Pawtuck Mafia is not Pikeman though, so the warden is totally separate from that. I’m sticking to my story that Lorenzo Alcazar is running Pikeman, though Hell only knows when they’re going to finally admit it. Wouldn’t be surprised if the WGA strike messed up the timetable on that.
As to who’s working with Tracy… unfortunately that looks like it’s going to be the OLTL transplant Blair, rather than make her appearance actually useful, by furthering the Alcazar story, given that she was asking whether or not he had an alias on OLTL when she was last seen on GH in late 2012.
Hopefully the return of Lois will help her daughter BrookLynn put an end to whatever Tracy got roped into with that interloping airhog.
Thank you, Satan. You always have a way of making things so simple and clear for me—Thanks for your time and patience.
So far, all these different plots have been so convoluted—I have a new theory—please don’t laugh. Is Anna targeting herself? Does she have a second or third personally? What of her twin sister? Is she really dead? —-forgot her name.—-Maybe, she’s the culprit.
Oops—spoke too soon—she’s not
Pikeman—lots of people working for Pikeman—Hmmm. I hope we won’t be disappointed as to his/her identity.

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.

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.
