GENERAL HOSPITAL: Drew’s Got the 411 on Judge Heran But It Could Prove Deadly, Isaiah and Portia’s Passion Ignites
Several lives are about to change significantly, after Thursday’s, August 28 episode of General Hospital, and we know of one person’s body that will land in the steely waters of the pier by the time Friday’s cliffhanger rolls around, but will it be Judge Heran (Tessa Auberjonois) or Drew Cane (Cameron Mathison)?
In story, Drew shows up at Aurora to see Michael (Rory Gibson). As snotty as all get out, Drew tells Michael that he must bring Wiley and Amelia to Willow, apologize to her, and share custody, fifty-fifty. If not, he’s going to use new evidence he has that Sonny (Maurice Benard) bribed Judge Heran to rule in Michael’s favor and drag him back into court, where he will lose full custody. Drew strongly suggests that he take his custody offer.
Next, Michael tells Sonny about what Drew said, and Sonny swears he didn’t bribe the judge. Michael believes him, but he says Drew claims to have proof. Sonny has to figure out who bribed the judge.

BRIBE CITY
Meanwhile, a vengeful Marco (Adrian Anchondo) tells his father he made a move against Sonny. He informs Sidwell (Carlo Rota) that he told Drew Cain that Sonny bribed the custody judge. Sidwell is incensed that his son messed up his plans to bring Sonny down, but Marco wants justice for the death of his mother Natalia and wants Sonny to pay. Sidwell says if Sonny finds out from the judge that it was actually him that paid her of they’re in big trouble. Sidwell says they need to get to the judge pronto before Sonny has the chance.
Elsewhere, Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) is still being held at the PCPD and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) shows up to represent her. Stella was targeted by Drew Cain, and Alexis tries to explain to her, it’s not about what she did, it’s who she knows … Curtis (Donnell Turner)! At the same time, Curtis is in the middle of involved in an heated confrontation with his wife, Portia (Brook Kerr) at the hospital. Once again, Portia is telling him that she knows he wants to be with Jordan (Tanisha Harper). Curtis is trying to tell her he is still with her, even though she has lied so many times, and if it’s wasn’t her for her lies, Stella would not be trying to stay out of jail.

THROWING MY MARRIAGE OUT THE DOOR
At the same time, Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) goes in on Jordan who shows up at the GH nurses hub looking for Curtis, which gets the good doctor all fired up, in that it’s clear she wants to be with Curtis. Back in her office, Portia tells Curtis if he walks out the door, their marriage is over, and indeed he walks out. She has another meltdown smashing photos and things in her office while crying and trying to take her wedding ring off. Enter, Isaiah, and as he helps her get the ring off, the two become tangled up in the throes of passion. In the hospital hallway, Jordan tells Curtis that it was Drew who pointed the agents towards his Aunt Stella.
FATHER AND SON
Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is missing the mother who raised him, Camila, and today is her birthday. He arrives at church where he has several moments alone to think about her and share his grief and his thoughts including: how terrible he feels that he is no longer playing the violin. Meanwhile, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) asks Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) to go to Gio, because he needs his father.

Dante arrives at the church, and shares a very touching scene about the early years in Bensonhurst and holding Gio as a baby, something he had never done up until that point in his life. He also recalled a touching story about Camila and all the relatives. In the end, the icy father and son relationship between the two thawed slightly, but the scenes were well-played by both Dominic Zamprogna and Giovanni Mazza.
As the episode came to its conclusion, Drew was in his office calling Willow to tell her he is making headway to get her kids back. Just then, Curtis arrived and hung up Drew’s call with her. Then, he told him, “This crusade you have against my family needs to stop. You need to end it, or I will end you.”
So, who do you think is going to land in the water of the pier? Will it be Judge Heran’s dead body or an attempted murder on Drew? What did you think of Portia and Isaiah going at in the Chief-of-Staff’s office? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below, but first check out the scenes from today’s GH featuring snide remarks from Isaiah for Jordan!
Are we finally done with Curtis & Portia? Is he still gonna protect her sorry behind from Drew?
Isiah and Jordan had chemistry. Not sure if he and Portia do, but we’ll give it a little time.
And please, please, please don’t do a geriatric who’s the daddy storyline?
Marco is looking less worthy of Lucas as the days go by.
Will Kai turn on Drew once he finds out what Drew did to Stella?
Body in the water likelihood (updated):
1. Judge (surging into first place)
2. Colette (although more story to tell)
3. Dalton (Goddard hinted he wrapped at GH)
4. Drew (too easy for a key character)
I thinks Kai is going to play double agent and find the evidence that proves Portia tampered with Heather’s blood test and give it to Trina.
The interaction between Gio and Dante was very touching as was the interaction between Gio and Brook Lynn yesterday. There is room for some healing there. And I am hopeful for healing between Brook Lynn and Lois and Gloria.
I was not happy with the lip lock between Portia and Isaiah. (I find Portia annoying but that’s another story.) Portia accuses Curtis of not respecting their marriage and here she is actually sucking face with another man. From the looks of it, things may go farther than sucking face.
I complained a few months ago when they had Portia scream, throw and break stuff in her office like a toddler. And yesterday, they re-wrote the exact same scene. Really? A doctor? A co chief of staff? That’s the best they can do? Twice? Save those tantrums for Carly and Ava. Get creative. Isaiah and Portia getting cozy in her office was a big eye roll too. I don’t expect Oscar-worthy material on a soap, but how nice it might be if the writers aimed high.
Usually it’s Sonny who throws stuff (barware) and yells SOB.
I’ve been known to do the exact same thing, but always joking
I find Portia to be a silly, petty woman stuck in arrested adolescence. If she’s not shrieking and throwing high pitched tantrums, she’s engaging in petty middle school mean girl games against Jordan. It’s hard to fathom she’s co-chief of General Hospital. I don’t know if it’s the actor’s choice or the director’s but Portia comes off as an undignified person. Case in point— while getting ready for her wedding to Curtis, Portia let out a litany of girlish squeals and high pitched screams that were nails- on- the-chalkboard annoying. When she converses with Trina, it feels like her daughter is the only adult in the room.
Good analysis Harry. Steve Hardy is rolling over in his grave. Portia’s stint as Co-Chief is making Liesl’s period as chief look great in comparison.
When Isiah took Portia for a “test drive” on Friday, I wondered why did they stick him with her when Wilson has show chemistry with many other costars.
And, where in the world is Terry?
Good question. Terry has dignity and is believable as a chief of staff of a hospital but you never see her even in passing.
Yes, Lucas is in for heartbreak. He doesn’t have a clue about his boyfriend. Now, Portia! She started out as a strong character. A fine doctor, with a loving daughter. But, the woman had/has too many damn secrets! She knows that Curtis hates secrets and lies, but she constantly racks them up! Curtis has sacrificed his career for her, forced him to deal with the devil (sorry Satan!) and now she’s getting down and dirty with Isaiah?! Everything that is coming to her, she deserves!
I agree with OG Steve’s take on Marco. Please do not make him a bad man like his father.
I had and still have high hope for a loving romance for Marco and Lucus. It would be great to see a happy, loving gay couple.
I agree. Why does Marco have to be a bad dude? I really wanted him to be a good partner for Lucas.
Someone please send Drew back to Hallmark
Or hit his head and the good Drew comes out!
lol I didn’t like him there either he’s a lousy actor. And Zidwell where did they pull him out of awful just awful actor that whole story line stinks . What’s with these writers O miss the old ones story was much more interesting.
I think Cameron is better at playing the slippery sinister villain than he is at playing the squeaky clean hero.
I like Drew. He’s a nice guy.
Sooner than later, pls!!
I am so for Curtis and Jordan and I hope Portia and the doctor get caught and out of the way! Never liked Portia and now not so fond of Isaiah! He couldn’t have Jordan so he goes after Portia? And he wants to attack Jordan on morality?? I think not, sleaze!
I agree, Isaiah was so strong, appeared to have morals and was on his way to being an admirable doctor.. lately he seems like a big wuss.
The judge
Get rid of Drew. Everyone is sick of him!!

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.

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.

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.
