GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kristina Pleads with Sonny to Save Alexis; Sidwell Puts a Deadly Plan in Motion for Lucky & Company
On Wednesday’s September 25th episode of General Hospital as Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) remains in prison for a crime she did not commit, Kristina (Kate Mansi) has a heart-to-heart with Sonny (Maurice Benard). She admits she may have said too much to Chase (Josh Swickard) when he questioned her about the night of Cates’ murder.
Kristina (Kate Mansi) confesses to Sonny that she went to the Quartermaine’s the night Cates was murdered with the intent of killing. Trying to play it cool, Sonny says she understands that she was going through a mental health crisis. She says she is seeking help from support groups at GH. Sonny warns her that killing someone marks you for the rest of your life. She asks if Sonny’s carrying that burden. Sonny responds that Jagger was going to continue punishing her in an effort to get to him.
Sonny tells Kristina, that will no longer be a problem. Kristina asks her father (in a bit of a state of shock), “Because of you?” Next, she pleads with him not to let her mother pay for a crime she didn’t commit. He assures Kristina that Alexis will not go down for this crime, and that all of them will get out of this situation. Meanwhile, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) talks with her mom’s attorney, Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), and they come up with a plan to try to crack Carly’s (Laura Wright) alibi the night of Cates’ murder.

In Africa, just as Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) has been able to pick the lock and free himself from his jail cell, Holly (Emma Samms) is there as she was en route to save him. However, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and his cronies capture them, and handcuff them, and they are brought back to the area where Jason (Steve Burton) and Anna (Finola Hughes) are. Lucky sees Jason and Anna for the first time in years, but no one allows themselves to let on or reveal their true connections.
Holly comes up with how Anna and her were rivals for her ex-husband (using memories of Robert Scorpio, no less). Sidwell demands to know her connection to Lucky. Meanwhile, Lucky pipes up that Jason and Anna are there to take Sidwell for everything’s he got. Not trusting anyone of them, Sidwell proposed a three-way card game where if Jason wins, he and Anna live another day, if Lucky wins, he and Holly can stay alive. However, if he wins, they all will die! We fade to black.
So, what do you think Sonny and Kristina will do to save Alexis, without Sonny taking the fall for killing Cates? Will Holly, Jason, Anna and Lucky all make it out of Africa unscathed? Comment below. But first take a look at scenes from today’s GH where Martin and Alexis discuss her case.
Enough of the poker games! Let’s get this storyline moving faster. Are we waiting on Genie to come back from her summer vacation? And I am ready to see Lulu’s face!
It does seem odd that Laura & Kevin left for Africa several weeks ago but haven’t shown up yet, while Jason & Anna got there within a couple of days. Supposedly Laura’s been in phone contact with various mortals back in Port Charles, so we can assume she hasn’t also been kidnapped.
Genie Francis is enjoying her annual summer vacation, so this is why she and Kevin have remained off the canvas.
This IS a story! How long have you been watching GH? Do you not remember the capers back in the day? Luke and others going out of the country to rescue one of their own or take out a bad guy? Why do you think Lulu waking up is the story that Lucky has to get to, instead of enjoying see four legacy characters and four vet actors, playing out a story of their own? I’m loving it! The sheer joy of seeing Lucky, Jason, Holly, and Anna on a “caper” together, and looking forward to how they’re going to escape is enjoyable in and of itself! These legacy characters won’t be together again, if ever, for a long time to come. Emma Samms (Holly) lives in the UK, and who knows how long Jonathan Jackson will stay. I’m savoring these scenes, devoid of any “newbies.” It’s a return to the GH that has long since started fading away…
Satan’s memory is a sharp as his spear
Yes, we’ve only got until the end of Genie’s vacation to enjoy these misfits and hopefully Jason and Anna won’t continue once they are back in PC. I don’t think they will make it in time to save Lulu, but it will be Sam’s Swan Song to her rescue.It would be nice if Lucky would stay for Liz and the boys. Where’s the Calvary? Hopefully Laura and Kevin are leading them there.
We know that none of the PC 4 are going to die from the card game so it’s a bit melodramatic. They’ve used this plot point way too much already with Lucky.
Sidwell does have potential as a long term villain.
The twist with Martin and Molly working together to expose Carly is fresh and intriguing.
Is this the real Martin? He returns from wherever he’s been and the beard and the accent are gone. Did he hire Lois’ dialect coach?
Miss the beard. Don’t miss the accent.
After yesterday, I’m starting to wonder. It doesn’t seem logical that a lawyer would think it was a good strategy to exonerate his client by implicating the guy who’s actually paying his bill.
Best case scenario there is that you don’t get paid. Worst case is that you get killed.
Also he hasn’t mentioned his mama or hummingbird cake even once yet. Maybe this isn’t really Marty?
Lois’ tutor must have worked with Martin too.
Why would anyone continue to watch a show to allow cold blooded murder let his daughter’s mother go to jail. Sonny is a coward
If I wanted endless poker, I’d binge-watch M*A*S*H! For crying out loud, we’re wasting an all-star lineup. Back in the day, these storylines would shoot on location and not look so claustrophobic and set-bound. This is almost like they’re making it all up as they go along. I’ll give the writers one prop, though. Lucky has had a lot of extremely Luke-like lines along the way. But back in the day, Tony Geary and Tristan Rogers would have nodded off four or five hands ago.

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.

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.

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.
