On the Wednesday, June 7th episode of General Hospital, it was time for Gregory Chase’s (Gregory Harrison) memorial, which as Gregory wanted would be having his ashes spread with his loved ones in attendance.

The memorial service was held at the park bench in which he used to sit and read to Violet (Jophielle Love), which now has a plaque with his name imprinted on it.

Chase (Josh Swickard) was put in charge of the gathering, by his late father. In very well-written scenes, each of the man’s loved ones and friends extolled words of wisdom they learned from him that will forever remain with them and in their hearts.

Finn (Michael Easton) shares how much his dad, who was suffering from ALS, loved this spot and that when the climb up the hill became too much, he insisted he could make it on his own. Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) speaks to what a good man that Gregory was. Violet reads a poem.

Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) opens up about how ALS is a devastating disease that takes resolve to handle, and Gregory had a lot of resolve. He made her aware of the limitations she put on her own life. She admits Gregory got her to jump out of a plane with him and that the two passionately kissed, which surprised everyone in attendance.

Tracy (Jane Elliot) talks with sadness about Gregory being a missed opportunity, and if she had known him sooner, longer and better, who knows what might have been. In the moral to her time with Gregory, Tracy expressed, “If an opportunity doesn’t present itself, make one. Contrary to conventional wisdom, you can miss what you didn’t have.”

Chase spoke last and says his dad taught him to find something remarkable in every person you meet. Next, Chase begins to scatter Gregory’s ashes around the tree, and then hands the container to Finn, so he can spread the last part of the ashes.

Afterwards, Tracy hosts a reception at the Metro Court. She and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) share a shot for Gregory. Alexis tells Finn, she is heading to an AA meeting, but first they discuss the kiss with his dad. Elizabeth and her boys make their exit, and then Chase goes looking for Finn and finds him at the bar. What he sees upsets him, as Finn is knocking back shots one after the other.

What did you think about Gregory’s memorial service? Did you reach for the hankies? What do you think will happen next to Finn now that he is continuing to drink? Comment below.

Gregory’s last night alive couldn’t have been written more beautifully. Finn and Gregory had the best father and son conversation one could hope for. There was apologies, forgiveness, praise, love and closure. Gregory’s death itself couldn’t have been more peaceful and he was spared more physical pain. Gregory’s dying in his sleep was a gift. Gregory’s last conversation with Finn was a gift. Then the writers lazily decide to let Finn act as though none of that happened and send him down this over-used relapse story. It doesn’t track. Bad decision on their part.

I’m surprised the fans didn’t see this coming. The writers have been foreshadowing Finn’s fall off the wagon for weeks prior to Gregory’s death. Finn was desperate to go to meetings each time Gregory’s illness progressed or when Gregory didn’t want Finn involved with his doctor appointments. It was clear they would go in this direction.
While Gregory did forgive Finn for his affair with Jackie, he may still guilty. He told Chase as much when he told him he drank.

As a Nurse, I have taken care of ALS patients. It is a terrible disease, & the mind stays in tact while muscles deteriorate. The worse case was with a young Mother, finding out after her 3rd baby, that she had it. I did private duty in her home, and she was on a ventilator, because she couldn’t breathe on her own. Very sad. Gregory died a very peaceful death, it’s usually not that nice. I liked him, he was one of the good guys, I’d like to have seen him & Tracy get together, but it was good with Alexis too.

He got longer death related on air time time than long time regulars “Bobby” and “Epiphany” who actually died.

I liked Gregory much more than Epiphany or Bobbie and I cried at his “funeral,” not theirs. Of course I felt sad for the real life deaths of the actresses who played Bobbie and Epiphany; I was shocked and saddened by both losses. But in-story? I was much more affected by losing Gregory. And I don’t agree; his death didn’t get more air time if you’re referring to the memorial, but his death is leading to Finn’s story…

That’s not true, at least in the case of Bobbie. They devoted two full episodes to Bobbie’s death between the funeral, and the day after with Ghost BJ as the reporter interviewing people about Bobbie’s life. Not to mention the day Carly got the news of her death, and then the news made its way around town to Laura, Scott, Lucy etc, so really three episodes if you want to get technical. They had two episodes for Gregory, the day he died and the funeral.

Honestly, it’s silly to compare “this one got this much air time, that one got that much air time”, they were all very well done shows, and in the case of Jackie Zeman and Sonya Eddy, appropriate tributes to beloved members of the GH family that passed away in real life. Particularly the Bobbie tribute and how they worked BJ into the story, that was some of the best stuff GH has done in many years period.

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, 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.
