GENERAL HOSPITAL: The Truth About Ronnie and Martin’s Machinations Revealed
The October 28 episode of General Hospital finally gave viewers some answers, and it is one man’s deep vendetta against Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) fueling all that has gone down at the Qs since Monica died and the reading of her will.
Here’s what went down: Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) arrived at the Quartermaines to have some words with Ronnie Bard (Erika Slezak). However, she exchanged pleasantries with the lawyer, until Martin shut the front door to the living room. Ronnie reminds him that they are not to be seen together. Martin tells her he’s not leaving, and he has a very important reason for his visit, and that no one will ever know they are working together.
Ronnie begins to grow uncomfortable and wants him to leave, but Martin plays all his cards. He snipes at Ronnie by reminding her that if he hadn’t contacted her she’d still be waiting tables. Then in a major part of the reveal that many saw coming, Martin snarls “And lest ye forget. The house, your newfound fortune? None of it would be yours if it wasn’t for me. Because, as we both know, Monica didn’t write you into her will. I did!”

Ronnie claims that if the locket around her neck is all Monica had left her, she would have been happy. Martin counters by reminding her that she was quick to change her tune after being on the receiving end of Tracy’s wrath. Ronnie admits she didn’t mind hurting Tracy, but she felt badly about the rest of the Quartermaines.
Next, Martin goes in for the jugular. He tells her not to get to comfortable in the house, because she’s going to sell it to his client, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). Ronnie flatly refuses to sell it to Drew, calling him a “pompous ass.” Martin says when Drew gets the house, it will drive Tracy nuts.
Now, it’s revealed that Martin wants revenge on Tracy for destroying his life by bringing his ex-wives to Port Charles to bilk him out of everything he has, plus the prison time he faced. It was in that moment that Ronnie suddenly realized that Martin had drugged her tea so she would blame Tracy, and throw her out of the house!

Ronnie says this all gone too far, but Martin angrily warns her that nothing he has done will be traced back to him. So, if it came to light, she would be arrested for fraud and if she doesn’t sell the house to Drew, he’d take away everything she has from her, including her freedom and he throws the documents to the house in front of her to sign.
Fast forward, and at the end of the episode, Michael (Rory Gibson), Ned (Wally Kurth), and Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) brought Tracy back to the house to see Ronnie. All this, after Ned convinced his mother, she has to go on the offense. Tracy tries to get it together to say to Ronnie that, “she’d like to bury the hatchet and start over,” Ronnie seconds that so they could get a fresh start. However she shockingly adds, “Which is why I’ve decided to… sell the house.” Tracy is stunned as we fade to black.

The scenes between Erika Slezak and Michael E. Knight were gold. Two impressive veterans, who we first came to know as Llanview’s Viki and Pine Valley’s Tad, now having a chance to share some moments together later in their careers. was priceless.
So, what do you think about Martin’s deep-seated hatred for Tracy and his plot? Are you glad that Erika Slezak was revealed to be Monica’s actual sister? How do you think the truth will come out? Do you think Ronnie will ultimately prevent Drew from taking over the house and save the day for Tracy, and then leave town, while Martin will wind up in the slammer? Share your theories via the comment section below, but first check out the scenes were Tracy needed some convincing for a new tactic to get back inside the Quartermaine home.
I am very happy that Ronnie is still Monica’s sister.
Me too. She’s a nice lady despite her mistake. Hopefully she will tell the family the truth and they can turn the tables on Martin and Drew. And they need to sic Laura and Stella on Martin. He knows better and ought to be ashamed. I think they can turn him around.
Martin is a slimeball and no better than his brother, Cyrus.
Really glad that Erika Slezak was revealed to be Monica’s actual sister. And great to see these veteran daytime stars elevate the canvas with star power. GH deserved and swept the 2024 Daytime Emmys so expect the same for 2025. But would like to have seen Erika in the opening sequence. Also you can add the Emmy at the end of that opening! Congrats GH!
Ouch. I can’t believe how horrible Martin is being. The man who loves his mom so much it endeared Laura to him. The man who would do anything for Stella whom he calls an angel. I keep hoping Laura will find out about this and convince Martin to undo this crap before the holidays. I want Ronnie and Tracy to be pals. It seems fitting. Tracy was depressed about losing Monica and Gregory. Here comes Ronnie to hopefully fill that void soon. Ultimately, they both want to do what Monica would have wanted.
Great acting today, and a good storyline. Hopefully, this may leave the door open for a return visit by Erika Slezak…..I hope that happens.
I don’t want it to end. Erika Slezak is so good, she makes it look easy. She is magical, and elevates all of the actors’ performances with whom she engages.
Erika is a good actor she should stay on
Sadly, Erika’s stint is wrapping up.
The acting was indeed phenomenal. Perhaps, once Ronnie departs PC, they save one scene with Erika that has Ronnie revealing Martin’s machinations to Tracy.
As for Martin, there’s no redemption from this. Laura needs to kick her brother all the way to
Pine Valley (or anywhere out of PC).
The Q scenes at the MC dining room were great. Ned had his mother’s back. Michael stood by his family and Olivia was reminded the Qs play differently than Bensonhurst.
Martin is as much a slime ball as his client, congressman dirt bag. I get his wanting to stick it to Tracy but does he have to destroy the rest of the Quartermaine family? I hope Ronnie turns on him and sticks it to him good.
Terrific scenes between Erika Slezak and Michael E Knight. They are great together. I realize that Erika has finished taping her run. I hope there are plenty scenes left for us to savor.
who else is tired of all the Drew drama? Time for him to go.
Yes hes worn out his welcome
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! THAT PART!!!! Drew definitely needs to goooooooo
Yes it is time for his front burner storyline to burn out!! So over his entitled, rude, hateful self to LEAVE!! I HONESTLY thought the character was being killed off… Nothing against Cameron M. but I’m over this character on the show!
Not this OG GH fan
I don’t like this story line. It’s hateful and cruel.
Even if Ronnie sells the mansion to Drew, it doesn’t mean a steaming pile of dragonshit, for two reasons:
First, the will is forged and it’s not Ronnie’s house to sell.
Second, any money Drew has to buy the house originated from Aurora Media. And that’s a company he bought in Jason’s name, with Jason’s money, back when he thought he was Jason.
Jason didn’t make an issue about this back in 2017, because he had no interest in running a media company, and at the time, he didn’t want to punish Drew, since they were both victims of the whole Faison/Helena “brain mapping” plot.
But that was then, and this is now. And now Drew is targeting the entire Quartermaine family, and Jason’s going to be specifically pissed about the way he’s gone after Michael and Danny. So all Jason has to do is take back Aurora and any other assets Drew acquired with Jason’s money. Including the mansion, if that turns out to be the case.
Not that Jason has interest in owning the mansion himself, he would probably give it to Michael immediately. Which is fine, because he was probably named the owner in Monica’s ACTUAL will anyway. Just as all the Quartermaines predicted he would be.
Although he wasn’t know to be in existence at that point, Edward’s will left equal portions to each grandchild alive when he passed (excluding Holts). That’s how AJ got his portion. Retroactively, Drew was entitled to the same share as AJ, Ned, and Dillon. Jason was missing (but not declared dead) when Edward died, so his portion was held in trust for Danny.
So, Drew has money.
Please don’t let this go on cause I hate that drew wants the house he don’t deserve it
This likely won’t go on too long. Otherwise, they’d have to have the following characters all move off the property:
Tracy (already out)
Ned
Olivia
Leo (is he lost in the attic)
Brook Lynn
Chase
Dante
Rocco (lives part time)
Michael
Wiley
Amelia
Jason
Danny
Cody
Josslyn
Trina
Outback
Tracy will find the original will

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.

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.
