GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sasha Reveals to Michael That She’s Pregnant with His Child
On the first episode of the new year, General Hospital looks to be building fast to the exit of Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). In story, Michael asks Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) to meet him at Aurora where he explains the divorce, custody and legal battle that looks to be a head of him with Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and their children.
Michael explains he may need to bring to light Willow and Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) affair, but wants his one-night stand with Sasha kept mum. He explains that he believes Willow is a good mother and doesn’t want his children to see the worst side of them, like he did when his parents went into divorce-mode. Sasha promises she won’t tell anyone about their night together because she is seriously considering leaving Port Charles.
Next, Sasha finally decides to tell Michael she is pregnant and he is the father. She explains that is why, more than ever, she has to leave. Sasha plans on raising the child, after what she went through losing her chance at motherhood after baby Liam died. Michael wants to be in is child’s life, but she protests that raising a child around both sides of his family – the Q’s and the Corinthos clan – will endanger the baby’s childhood.

Sasha also makes Michael understand that him being a part of the baby’s life will not help his custody case. She wants him to trust that she’ll always do the what’s right for their child. Michael says he is not happy about it, but accepts her decision. Didn’t Michael stepping away from raising the child, seem to happen very quickly? Is Chad Duell’s departure just around the corner?
Meanwhile, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is down in the boxing ring, clutching his chest. Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) happens to arrive the gym. Once the paramedics arrive and stabilize Sonny, he asks him some pointed questions. Sonny admits he has had these chest pains prior to working out and that he was shot in the chest twenty years ago. Isaiah implores Sonny to make sure he gets checked out, because his situation can become a chronic condition with an already compromised heart. In a warning, Isaiah mentions to Sonny, if he ignores the signs and symptom he could have a heart attack or a stroke at anytime.

Sonny pushed back he can’t appear weak in his line of work and implores Isaiah to not mention this to anyone. Isaiah promises he won’t. Is GH setting up a stroke for Sonny? (Remember when Viki had a stroke on OLTL?) Something that will take the mighty mobster down, and make him the most vulnerable he has ever been and needing people’s help?
In Prague, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) get away after Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) shows up and causes a scene infuriating Lulu (Alexa Havins). We learn that the shot fired through the widow was by Colette (Mercedes Lopez Renard), who was working with Brennan (Charles Mesure). At the end of the episode, Lulu blames Dante for her one chance to bring Charlotte home with her to Port Charles causing a major rift in their relationship. Will this mishap reunite them, eventually? Or will this set the stage for Lulu to turn more to Cody (Josh Kelly)?
So, what did you think of Sasha telling Michael she’s pregnant, and his response? Are you intrigued by what might happen to Sonny? Do you want Dante and Lulu to grow closer, or Lulu and Cody to draw closer? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Is GH setting up a stroke for Sonny? (Remember when Viki had a stroke on OLTL?) Something that will take the mighty mobster down, and make him the most vulnerable he has ever been and needing people’s help?
The problem is: strokes are of the head (neurological), not primarily of the heart (cardiological). Can they be connected? Yes, but it wouldn’t be as it’s been presented.
Atrial fibrillation untreated can cause blood clots to form and ultimately lead to a heart attack or a stroke if a blood clot reaches the brain. This is known as a ischemic stroke (CVA) cerebral vascular accident. There is a definite correlation. As a healthcare professional, I was impressed with the public service aspect of atrial fibrillation being a topic of story.
So, Michael doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes of his parents when it comes to a custody fight.
Sasha, on the other hand, wants to repeat her mother’s mistake and not let her child know his biological father.
It’s a shame Monica isn’t around, because imagine the conflict if they had the former head cardiologist treat the man who caused her son’s death.
Sonny’s condition will eventually lead to Cyrus being caught. With Isiah being involved, will that mean Sonny needs a heart transplant?
So this baby… assuming they are ever born… will be a Scorpio, Quartermaine, Spencer, and Corinthos. If Sasha doesn’t move completely out of town now, the kid will have to, just to avoid committing incest!
Sigh. More awkward storytelling to force jigsaw puzzle pieces in the wrong place. As Steve pointed out, Sasha denying her child a relationship with his or her father is evocative of what Holly did to her. It’s also not character driven writing. Sasha, as we know her, would not do this! The writers are scrambling because they will not recast Michael in order to leave Chad an opportunity to come back when he’s ready( a privilege not afforded to most cast members). No offense to Chad but he ain’t that special and can easily be replaced by a talented and charismatic actor.
Here is hoping that GH will realize that Williow and Drew are disgusting. We love Michael and always will. She obviously never deserved him. Keep them in DC permanently!!! I fast forward pass Drew and Willow. !!
I also FF, don’t want to see any scenes they are in!
So do I. Can’t stand them anymore.
I am tried of the back and fourth,Recast Micheal bring back sonny strong as mob boss,Anna an Jason thats nasty. Jason and Robin are besties, I am tried waiting on Nenia and Drew fling to come to the light so they can finally get whats coming to them from Carly and Tracy. Please give Jossyn a break she needs to ginally be happy two dead boyfriends at her age that little to much.
And why is Jason and everyone aware Sam and dex were murdered at GH. For real Alexis wanted the autopsy why is she aware it’s crazy

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.
