Anyone waiting for the on-screen showdown between daytime television legends, Jane Elliot (Tracy) and Erika Slezak (Ronnie) were in for a treat on the Tuesday, October 21 episode of ABC’s General Hospital.

In the pick-up from Monday, after Ronnie’s erratic behavior and comments hurled at Tracy, she tells everyone at the tea party in her honor that she is not a drunk, as much as Tracy continued to point out that Monica’s sister is nothing but a sloppy one.

Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) checks out Ronnie who claims she did not have booze and to check her tea, which Felicia (Kristina Wagner) says does and says it does not smell like alcohol.  Next, Ronnie accuses Tracy of slipping her a mickey. She knows from her years as a waitress the effects the drug can have which is how she says she feels.

Tracy denies it and Ronnie lets loose on her for treating her like an interloper, when all she ever wanted to do was to find out more about Monica. Ronnie thanks Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) for organizing the get-together, but says Tracy tried to humiliated her and succeeded.

Brook Lynn questions Tracy. Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) reminds Tracy that she once got Alexis drunk and framed her for drunk driving. Tracy swears up and down she did not drug this phony baloney. At this point, Ronnie has had it with Tracy and says its now her turn to talk!

At this point, Ronnie says she tried to get along with Tracy, but from the moment they met in the Quartermaine crypt, Tracy has been a complete witch to her. In an emotional turn, Ronnie claims she was impressed with what Monica made of her life and wanted to see if for herself.

However, now she truly pities Monica. Ronnie says she rather be dead broke and living in the streets than put up with Tracy’s tantrums. Ronnie adds Tracy planned to humiliate her. At that point, she calls Tracy cruel and spiteful and tells her to get of her house and to not come back.

Tracy tells Ronnie that she can’t throw her out. However, the rest of the guests and family do not defend Tracy. Olivia tells Tracy she’s been horrible to Ronnie since day one, and Brook Lynn tells her that she brought this on herself.

Defiant, Tracy says she’s been kicked out of the house before, but she always makes it back in, because she’s a Quartermaine. Tracy says it was cruel of Monica to leave the house to Ronnie and only give her a jar of relish, a woman she spent the last forty years with.

Before she walks out, Tracy tells Ronnie, Monica was never cruel, and something is very wrong here. Tracy tells Ronnie this is not her house and it never will be. As she exits, she tells Ronnie that she’s taking every photo of her family and her most precious possessions with her.  A fuming Tracy storms out.

It was quite extraordinary to see Erika Slezak and Jane Elliot going at in these pivotal scenes. You can check out some of them in the video below.

Now let us know, are you enjoying seeing Erika and Jane battle it out as Ronnie and Tracy? Do you still believe Martin drugged Ronnie? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Wow! That’s damn good acting – I didn’t want the episode to end.

In addition to the amazing guest star, in the room you had women representing 5 decades of GH in the scene (Tracy/1970s, Felicia/80s, Elizabeth/90s), Olivia/2000s and Brook Lynn/10s).

BLQ should be able to tell when Tracy is telling the truth. Tracy will forgive BLQ, but Olivia should take her pizza oven with her back to Bensonhurst- not allowing Tracy to stay at the MC???

Tracy’s response about Monica’s lack of cruelty should’ve piqued the ears of PI Felicia to investigate further.

Ronnie may be an unwitting pawn in Martin (and maybe even Nina’s) revenge on Tracy.

End result, truth comes out that Will was forged, Ronnie departs PC with a pseudo-apology from Tracy and Martin departs for a while to save face.

I don’t know who drugged Ronnie, but Tracy was 666% correct when she said there’s no way that Monica really left the mansion to this interloper. And as a Devil said yesterday, I don’t buy for a minute that Marty was meeting Ronnie for the first time.

The excuse of “finding Lulu’s phone” (which wasn’t hers) was really a lame story. Unfortunately Lulu’s going to find herself in the middle of all this, since apparently Tracy is going to be crashing at her house while she’s exiled from the mansion.

Where ever he is (and he’s not down here!) I’m sure Luke would find all of this amusing. But then he would probably help “Spanky Buns” plan her revenge.

Ronnie storyline makes zero sense. The fact that they have to dump down the Q’s is weird. Q’s would never just be warm & inviting to a perfect stranger who says she’s Monica sister. Who they never heard of or meet. Everything they have experience for over a year with Drew, their guards would be completely up regarding Ronnie. Brooklyn & Olivia saying to Tracy she brought it on herself. She hasn’t been accommodating to Ronnie . She can’t stay at the MC . What that doesn’t even sound like the Q’s. My question is if Martin did all this will everyone know or just the audience then dropped like looking for Cyrus or the murder of Jagger . Ronnie storyline wasn’t necessary.

You can say that again.

Ronnie storyline makes zero sense. The fact that they have to dump down the Q’s is weird. Q’s would never just be warm & inviting to a perfect stranger who says she’s Monica sister. Who they never heard of or meet. Everything they have experience for over a year with Drew alone there guards would be completely up regarding Ronnie. Brooklyn & Olivia saying to Tracy she brought it on herself she hasn’t been accommodating to Ronnie , she can’t stay at the MC. That’s not how the Q’s operate. My question is if Martin did all this will everyone know or just the audience. Will they follow through with it or just drop it. Like looking for Cyrus or who killed Jagger. Ronnie storyline wasn’t necessarily.

I was being figurative.

Ha ha! I see what you did there.

GH is on fire. The scenes with Tracy and Ronnie were classic soap, much like Krystal/Alexis on “Dynasty” and Iris/Rachel on “Another World.” Erika and Jane need to submit these scenes next year for a Daytime Emmy. If there are any fans out there that no longer watch, now is the time to tune back into the show. Besides the fallout of this storyline, the Drew/Willow, Carly/Jack, Portia/Curtis/Isaiah/Jordan and any scene with Alexis make this show MUST watch.

No Ronnie storyline isn’t necessary. The quartermains would not just take the word of stranger who says she Monica sister. They definitely wouldn’t side with her . Brooklyn & Olivia are trash for believe a stranger over Tracy . I have been watching this show since 1976 . Writers do better

I love Erika Slezak and Jane Elliott always brings it, but I will be glad when this storyline is over. I do believe Martin is behind this.

Now that I’m getting hooked on GH, sad to know the Erika has already completed filming. I wish they could have written a part that lasted longer than the November sweeps. I miss seeing her act, and she seems to blend in really well with the established actors on GH. I always had hope that the producers of Blue Bloods would have kept her on as a love interest for Len Cariou.

Glad to hear you’re hooked. Perhaps they can lure Erika back for 3 weeks in 2026. Thanks to GH’s block shooting schedule, they made 3 weeks stretch out to over a month and a half.

Maybe next time we get a group of scenes with Erika and Genie?

Absolutely horrible storyline

I totally agree. Monica would never leave the house to a stranger. And any of them that believe Ronnie are fools. It’s just so stupid.

Watching Erika Slezak and Jane Elliot go toe to toe was wonderful. Brings back very happy memories of the many, many battles between Viki and Dorian (the amazing Robin Strasser) on One Life to Live. I loved every second of Ronnie calling out Tracy. It’s about time someone stood up to Tracy and her nasty entitlement.

Interesting analogy. The key difference- on OLTL, Dorian – the outsider – was never recognized as the nice one. Viki (who most would consider nice) was claimed to be sanctimonious by the brash outsider.

Is Tracy entitled? Certainly. But she is fiercely loyal to her family when the chips are down (i.e. protecting Michael from prosecution). I see BLQ not support her is kind of sad. Would Cassie, Blair or Kelly throw Dorian under the bus?

I always liked Erika on OLTL but I despise her on GH. The character she plays is so shady. Monica would have never done this to her family and this is a slap in Leslie’s face to do this to her character. And please send holier than thou Olivia to make pizzas somewhere where the sun never shines.

Wow, have I ever missed Erika Slezak’s acting! Legendary!

I love the both of them

Stay tuned for when Ronnie tears down the whole east song of the Quartermaine mansion and replaces it with a tacky ballroom!

Love it, Harry! We also see elsewhere that same temperament that Ronnie showed when she was under the influence…

Thank you James and Lewis. I think you know I mean wing, not song

HA! Good one!

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 of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Published

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.
