GENERAL HOSPITAL: Willow Delivers Sasha and Michael’s Baby Girl
Going into labor on the witness stand is never a good thing! And on the Thursday, June 5th episode of General Hospital as Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) was being hammered with attorney Ric Lansing’s (Rick Hearst) line of questioning which ultimately had her admitting that Michael (Rory Gibson) is the father of her unborn baby, you could see she was starting to have labor pains.
As Ric’s onslaught continued, (he eventually asks Sasha how much Michael paid her to keep quiet about the baby) Sasha lets out a curdling scream. Acting fast, Michael tries to comfort her while she is still seated on the witness stand as Sasha fears she will lose her baby, just like her baby Liam.
Springing into action is none other than Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), who uses her nursing skills to help deliver Sasha’s baby right there on the courtroom floor as Michael holds Sasha as their child is about to be born weeks early.

Outside the courtroom, we learn that Nina (Cynthia Watros) is the one who filled Ric in on the bar and the bartender that corroborated that Michael and Sasha were together and drunk and eventually left the bar together on the night of October 30. An upset Nina says that she gave Ric the intel to expose their affair, not the baby.
Carly (Laura Wright) blasts Nina after hearing this and in front of Drew (Cameron Mathison) spouts off, “I know for a fact, that Nina is the one who hired Jacinda and had you drugged!’ Drew looks pissed.
Back in the courtroom with Willow’s help, Sasha is able to deliver a healthy baby girl. While his arms around Sasha and their baby, Michael locks eyes with Willow and mouths the words,“thank you.”

Elsewhere in Port Charles, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) turns down Lucky’s (Jonathan Jackson) marriage proposal and the two realize that he is happier with a life moving around all the time and she is happy right here in Port Charles. Liz says it’s not fair to expect him to sit still when he wants to be on the move and she doesn’t want to give up her life here to be with him.
Now, because of Liz turning down his proposal, Lucky seems to indicate it would be too unbearable for him to stay in Port Charles knowing they can’t be together. Cue the reported exit of Jonathan Jackson as he wraps his run as Lucky, which only lasted nine months.

Finally, Natalia (Eva LaRue) who drank too much, got stopped by the cops and is arrested on a DUI as she was headed to confront Sidwell (Carlo Rota). Will anyone get her out of jail? Marco (Adrian Anchondo)? Jenz? Sonny (Maurice Benard)?
So, what did you think of Willow delivering Sasha and Michael’s baby? Are you happy Sasha had a girl? Do you think the custody case will get solved amicably now that the three of them together brought a baby into this world? Comment below. But first, check out the moments leading up to Sasha going into labor on the witness stand.
The wife delivering the mistress’ baby was a harkening back to Lesley delivering Monica’s baby. Of course, AJ turned out to be Alan’s after all.
Jonathan Jackson – what a waste of a return.
As good as an actress that Eva LaRue is, there’s no saving this character. Natalia could save 20 babies from a burning building and would still be a dud.
Marshall made me remember how much we didn’t miss him. Kai must’ve had his backbone removed in that surgery, because he’s coming across as rather spineless.
You are very critical of the actors on GH.
My analysis goes across the board – acting, writing and production. There was no long term vision for Lucky when they brought him back so, the disappointment of JJ’s return mostly falls on the writing and Frank.
The failure of the Natalia character is entirely on the writing. LaRue did her best with what was given to her.
Robert Gossett’s doing something right to have won multiple Emmys on the show.
I stand by my assessment of Kai so far. Here’s hoping he improves with some time – just like Gio did.
I don’t think you’re critical of actors at all. The truth is Kai is wooden, monotonous and dull. It almost makes me think the actor really is a football star because football stars are notoriously horrible actors.
Or when AMC’s Nina Cortland delivered romantic rival Sybil’s baby when it was mistakenly believed Cliff Warner was the baby daddy.
I think Michael still loves Willow and viseversa, the lucky debacle lets be honest was obvious, lets move on, please just don’t put poor elisabeth back at the nurses station while everone else get a storyline, put her back in jasons orbit since he’s in everone storyline, i mean seriously now he’s part of the whole Josslyn and Emma storyline, if they can put jason everywhere they can do the same for Liz, Oh and the highlight of todays episode was Natalia gettin arrested and acting like a total KAREN, it was hilarious.
Carly is a big ole blabber mouth! Seems like there was a gap in the writing. Nina specifically said she didn’t want to hurt Sasha and would not reveal the one night tryst to Ric even if it meant helping her daughter obtain sole custody of the kids. So behind the scenes we’re supposed to believe she suddenly turned on a dime and told him? Moreover, aside from being loyal to Sasha, Nina is damn smart. No way would she believe that Ric would not put two and two together the same way she did. So I cry foul on the writing here as it’s not character driven.
No nina told Rick herself to help make Michael look bad. Nina needs to get what is coming to her like drew & willow
I’m well aware that Nina told Ric. That wasn’t my point. My point is that that plot twist lacked consistency to what had been written prior. Again, it was not character driven writing.
I love the chemistry between Michael and Sasha. I hope the writers put them together. Both characters deserve some happiness.
Willow and Drew are getting on my nerves. They deserve each other.
The feud between Nina and Carly is comedy gold! I love them.
Ric Lansing is trash, but I adore him! I would like for Rick Hearst to sign a long-term contract.
Overall, this week was great. Michael and Sasha have a healthy baby girl. Rory and Sofia Matheson are incredible!
When the baby was first placed in Sasha’s arms, I said, well “Hello, Daisy” in my head, and then today, the opening scene revealed that the baby’s name is Daisy! I’m thrilled with the choice:)
How come that Baby Daisy gets a part but they killed off Dex? Not fair.
Now you’re just trolling this site – no one in their right mind would compare an infant (in a fairly decent storyline) to a character with no familial connection on the canvas.
Firstly; there is no point for Natalia—a waste.
Secondly, is Willow having a relapse? Will this be her saving grace—if so, will she “conquer” the illness again, and reunite with Michael?
Tired and bored to tears with the WSB. Joss was on her way to becoming a doctor !!! GH could use another doctor !!! Hoping for Michael and Sasha reuniting. So happy Kelly is on her way back !!! Brason all the way !! Agree , Lucky coming back was wasted but, I understand why he is leaving.

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.
