GENERAL HOSPITAL: Laura and Sonny Make a Plan, Britt is Put on Notice, Anna is Trapped, Drew Remembers ‘Something’ the Night He was Shot
The Wednesday, December 9 episode of General Hospital featured five key storylines: Valentin’s (James Patrick Stuart) whereabouts, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) trying to prep her client Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and his wife Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) for court, Laura (Genie Francis) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) and later Jason (Steve Burton) coming up with a way to smoke out Sidwell, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) waking up after her drunken night and finally Anna (Finola Hughes) seen for the first time in over a few weeks still kidnapped.
Let’s break it down: Laura is beside herself and goes to Sonny to tell him she told her husband, Kevin everything about Professor Dalton somehow showing up dead in the trunk of her car and Sonny’s involvement in the clean up. Sonny assures Laura that he will figure out how to bring Sidwell down, but he needs her to do as Sidwell says while she is the mayor, even if it’s something not-favorable towards him. For starters, Sidwell wanting her to overturn Measure C!
Sonny and Laura have a bonding moment, when he reminds her how she and Luke came to him when they were trying to get away from Frank Smith years ago, and how as a trio they were able to bring the criminal down. Will this entire saga bring Laura and Sonny closer than ever before?

Meanwhile, Britt wakes up in her room at Bobbie’s with Jason sitting in a chair. She realizes what happened the night before, and Jason wants her to explain to him, how she is getting the medication to control her Huntington’s disease and more, but still Britt is clamming up. After shutting Jason out, he leaves. Next, there is a knock at her door from Marco (Adrian Anchondo). He tells her that she will begin work in the new lab with the new fob key he is leaving for her tomorrow at 9am. She pushes back and Marco levies a threat against her. Is Marco becoming more and more like his father Sidwell, each day? Will Lucas even get a clue or remain “Mr. Clueless?”
When recounting the moments before he was shot, Drew wound back his steps in front of Alexis, Willow and Suzanne (Jen Rey) in Alexis’ living room to prepare him for court. He has a shocking moment when he says he recalled something else for the first time, but later says it went out of his head. Does he remember seeing Willow? Is that why he wouldn’t say anything? Meanwhile, he continues to tell Alexis he wants Michael to be the main suspect … no matter what!

At the conclusion of the episode, Anna is seen inside a room with a yoga mat and what looks like some sort of mini-kitchen, but she finally loses her temper and heads towards the glass that separates her from the other side of the world and her captor demanding to let her go! We fade to black.
So, do you think Sonny and Laura will remain good friends, or will somehow they become more than that? Who is keeping Anna? Could it be “Nathan?” What do you think Drew remembered. but will not say? Do you feel bad for Britt. … or have you had it with her? And. what do you think of Valentin stowing away in Carly’s (Laura Wright) attic? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first, check out the scene whee Laura and Sonny are trying to figure out how to out maneuver Sidwell.
Great to have both Anna and Mac back on screen.
The interesting part of the episode not mentioned above is Justine admitting to Molly that she’s playing Sonny. Interesting twist and it makes her appear smarter. As Rocco’s cousin, Molly shouldn’t have any access to his case nor be kept in the loop about her Uncle.
There’s conflicts of interests all over the PCPD and the DA’s office.
Molly and Dante are both related to Rocco, Sonny, and Michael. All of whom are “suspected” of one thing or another.
Nathan is Willow’s uncle.Or cousin, depending on how you want to look at it (raised as Nina’s brother, but not really)
Chase is Willow’s ex husband, and wants to throw his wife’s cousin (Mikey) under the bus to let her off the hook.
Anna’s AWOL, but even if she was on duty, she would be reluctant to arrest Val the Bastard, who is once again an international fugitive.
This is the problem with small towns like Port Charles. Everybody’s connected one way or another.
Love Britt. Portia has lied far too long Trina isn’t Curtis’s
Trina, a character I once loved, has regressed into a whiny, immature, little brat. The way she’s constantly blaming Jordan for her parents’ marital strife is ridiculous. She seems incapable of realizing that her parents are responsible for their marriage falling apart, not Jordan
Enough with Drew already! This is going on too long.

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. 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.

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.
