Emotions were running high and are about to reaching their tipping points after the Thursday, March 19, episode of General Hospital. First, Jason (Steve Burton) is preparing to eliminate Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) inside his storage unit, but has a series of flashbacks of the goodbyes with the people he loves, before he tries to kill the man that is a threat to him and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).

The flashbacks are tender and deep for Jason, as he remembers talking with Tracy (Jane Elliot) after his mother, Monica Quartermaine died, Carly (Laura Wright) advising him to not promise his son, Danny, when he would return, but that she will watch over him while Jason is gone, plus promising Carly if she died because of her relationship with Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), he would kill him.

Jason prepares the long-range rifle, packs it his duffle bag. and locks the storage unit and heads out. Steve Burton once again brings the heart to the hitman in what is turning out to be his final scenes before his hiatus from the soap.

LYING TO MY FACE

Meanwhile, in an excellent performance from Laura Wright, Carly sits across her kitchen table from Jack Brennan. Armed with the knowledge of how Jack is deceiving her about her own daughter being in the WSB because of him, she tests him. She says, when people aren’t who you think they are, it’s probably because they aren’t being honest – and that’s not real love. Jack responds that he hated his job because it requires him to keep things from Carly, and while he is well-aware he wasn’t enough of a partner for her, he truly loved her.

An emotional Carly, with tears in her eyes, says that sometimes loving someone meant risking being honest, and asked Jack if he loved her enough to do that. However, before Jack could answer, duty called when he got an important message and had to leave. As he does, the camera reveal a devastated look on Carly’s face.

At his office at GH, Lucas (Van Hansis) is concerned because he hasn’t heard from Marco (Adrian Anchondo). While at Wyndemere, Pascal (Marc Forget) told Sidwell (Carlo Rota), once again, his concerns about Lucas. Sidwell headed him off at the pass, because he knows he has a crush on his son and wants Marco all to himself. Marco arrives with contracts for his father to sign, so Pascal exits.

In a seemingly touching moment (but is it?), Sidwell thanked his son for sticking around, even though it’s taking time to avenge his mother’s death and bring down Sonny. Sidwell heads out to meet Ava on the mainland. Marco is then able to break into the safe and obtain two vials of Britt’s medication.

Later at Wyndemere, Pascal opens the safe and sees two vials missing and calls Cullum. He puts the blame on Lucas, Cullum says he will handle it. Cut to: an anxious Lucas worried about Marco, when suddenly his boyfriend shows up and hands Lucas two vials of Britt’s medication. Marco tells Lucas to get them to Britt ASAP because it’s only a matter of time before someone figures out they are missing. Marco reassured Lucas that everything will be alright because his father will protect him.

While Jason is an outside stairwell with his gun aimed at Cullum, the WSB director is at WSB headquarters telling off Jack for the Five Poppies debacle and demanding a resolution to the situation now. Suddenly, when Jack walks into the rifle’s view, and both he and Cullum are in range, Jason hesitates and tries to decide what his next move will be. We fade to black.

What did you think will happen next? Will Jason be able to shoot and kill Cullum? Will Sidwell turn on his own son, and potentially end his life? Will Lucas be in the line of fire, because he has the vials to reverse engineer the medication that saves Britt? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Britt told Josslyn that Faison had FOUR children. I only know of 3(Peter, Britt, & Nathan). Many on social media claim he had a child named Sonny that was mentioned on Night Shift. I watched it & don’t even remember Faison being on that show. Does Faison really have a fourth child & if he did who is it? If anyone would know the correct answer to this question it’s you Michael.

It’s possible that the writers just messed up. Like they did a few months ago when they said Scout was 12 years old… which would have been impossible, because her father (Dragon Chow Drew) wasn’t even heard of then.

Double agent Cullum does resemble Faison a little bit. So it wouldn’t be out of the question if he were a chip off the old literally brainless block. But it would seem a little odd that neither Britt or Nathan have reacted to him as if he were a “long lost brother”.

And having Cullum as a son would be a major contradiction to Dr Obrecht’s past narrative of why she hid the fact that Nathan was her son from him and everybody else for decades. She said that she knew Faison would be obsessed with his son if he knew about him, to make sure he was raised up as a proper heir to the evil empire. But he wouldn’t have as much reason to be obsessed with Nathan if he already had a son. And Cullum is definitely older than Nathan. Or Heiny, for that matter.

Before they cut to Lucas (who was in the hospital) for his first scene, there was an establishing shot. That building looked nothing like LA County Hospital, which has been used as the exterior of GH since at least 1978. What gives, Frank? Wasn’t there enough backlash to the Wyndemere (cheap hotel) shot earlier this year, than to change the exterior of the building that’s still at the end of the opening credits? Heck, the building even looked the same when it was rebuilt after it blew up in the late 2000’s.

It feels like someone is having fun utilizing AI generated images. It’s stupid and tacky.

It seems they have copied this idea from Days of Our Lives, who has been using these AI generated “external” shots for a while. Some of which make no sense at all, like showing the Horton house – which has been standing since the show’s beginning in 1965 – looking like it’s right in the middle of a recently built subdivision.

LA County Hospital built a new, modern hospital several years ago. That may have been a picture of the new building. That old hospital is a broken down mess. Since the sets for the show are updated, they may feel it’s time to show an updated exterior.

I noticed the same thing. Having once lived in LA, and driven past the old General Hospital many times, when I saw the new building in the recent episode, it made me wonder if there had been a new addition built somewhere near the main hospital. In the far background, it looked like the very top part of the old hospital showing behind the new building. Llanviewer717 mentioned a new addition built, earlier.

I had a gut feeling the medication in the safe wasn’t the real thing.

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.
