GH remains the longest running daytime drama series still on the air. An amazing accomplishment given that only four beloved soaps remain.
Watch the special GH 55th Anniversary promo after the jump.
The extended video promo features some exciting and moving clips.

Gloria Monty would not have approved of this 55th year promo. That’s for sure.
To be great;
Drew will file for full custody of Scout..(If a divorce)
–not wanting his daughter in danger– living with a Mob Enforcer Hitman, a Killer for the Mob.
He would want his daughter safe.. so yah, he’d get full custody of Scout.
No, Gloria Monty would not approve; neither would Wendy Rich or just about anyone else unless they are a fan of Frank’s GH or utter destruction of it.This promo for the anniversary of a show with a rich half century history is a lol riot. Frank has had GH teetering on the edge of a cliff for years. He’s finally driven off enough Vets that there aren’t many left to bring back when his pets tank the show, like they are in the process of doing now. He may have finally reached the point where the show finally goes over… Read more »
Oh, how I loved the Wendy Riche and Claire Labine era.
I love it! I have watched since day one as a teen coming home from school…doing my homework, raising kids and grandkids…daughters watching…it’s amazing!
My favorite moment ? EVER SINGLE ONE ! That’s why I keep watching !
Nice promo but what else do they have planned to celebrate this accomplishment and reaffirm their commitment to the show? If the laziness at http://abc.go.com/ is any indication, not much. GH turning 55 garners nary a mention on their own site. Then click on “view all shows” and the photo of GH features two former stars, Genie Francis and Ryan Paevey and omits the prodigal son, Burton. And the synopsis on this page: “General Hospital, which celebrated its golden anniversary on April 1, 2013, continues its tradition of passion…” and then on to the “about” section where it further hails… Read more »
I loved it when Grant Putnam locked Anna in a cage and they eventually ended up outside on location at a ski resort fighting to destroy each other. Oh the days of “On Location” shoots.
Also, it was so great when Bert turned on Robert. [Mr. B]
Oh, that was such a shocker! I never saw it coming! ha. (Bert & Robert)
Yes, that was loads of fun. Miss that dog.
Scout and Drew! Sam and Drew marriage!The birth of Scout!
To simply put it-
General Hospital used to be like a Metallica concert.
Now it’s like a John Denver concert .
nuff said- I’ll it stand as that..
Hey..dont insult John Denver-lol
Jimh, never ! lol hey—– I want a rerun of The 52nd anniversary episoide. Awesome were the flashback scenes with several of its current cast playing yesterday’s important characters, the original doctors, that was really great.. The current cast played the original GH doctors, with the flashbacks of all them. There was No– shootouts, sex scenes, romantic triangles, catfights none of that in 52nd…. The black & white; the set from the 60’s, the wardrobe of the 60’s , it was the original 60’s set- It felt like you were truly watching a classic episode that had aired in 5… Read more »
I agree su…i would love them do another flashback like that too!!!!
I AM SURE YOU NEVER HAD THE JOY AND PRIVILEGE OF SEEING A JOHN DENVER CONCERT……IF YOU HAD, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE MADE ANOTHER STUPID REMARK!!!!!
JK, you fill up my senses, come fill me again….
But I can’t wait, because I’m leaving on a jet plane.
John Denver was an amazing singer and songwriter. So under-rated as a performer. He wrote from the heart, much like Justin Hayward, another favorite of mine.
Laughing my arse off. I wanted to say the same thing… what??? I like John Denver
GO WITH : Air Supply – the stench alone… whew
I’m all out of love I’m so lost without you…. blah blech bombs away
But damn, who doesn’t love ABBA?
I have no favorite moments, Patrick…except when Ryan Peavey joined the GH cast. Miss him.
You guys are so lucky to have watched the soaps for so long. I envy you.
So, this is what I say…. I like John Denver’s music…..it’s ok, I guess. How can one not like that voice? But, not for me…..can’t beat my Freddie Mercury or Paul Rodgers…..and so many more of that genre.
Did you know that Paul Rodgers was lead singer of FREE ( …All Right Now, Baby, It’s All Right Now) before BAD COMPANY? Do you care? LOL.
Then, there’s the incomparable George Kyriacos Panayiotou.
@Harry…..Waterloo! Waterloo, Baby….Waterloo!
Now that’s a promo!
Yay Laura! Oh wait, that was from 1981…
I have so many favorite moments that i can’t name just one but if i had to pinpoint one certain one, it would be the story where Holly’s family was bilking the citizen of Port Charles out of 2 million dollars. Luke and Robert had alot of action scenes back in those days.
Too many scenes from the present!!!
I agree… they spent so much time on Drew and Sam… with the birth of Scout.
that is not end result. AND it was a hoot hoot laugh out loud un momento as God himself dropped in to the metro court. Steve Burtons EYES people. LOOK
This promo is a JOKE. You have about 5 seconds of classic GH, and then the rest is this sub-par dragonshit which has existed since February 2012.
The fact that Frodd or Ava appear at all in a promo for the 55th anniversary is sickening. The fact that they are still cashing in on Genie Francis after treating her so poorly, even more so.
Since I gave my top 10 GH moments on the 14,000th episode page, in honor of the 55th anniversary, I’ll post a series of Top 5 related topics. Trying to stay positive, let’s start off with… Top 5 Recasts 1. Leslie Charleson as Monica. Already a soap veteran, her portrayal added dimension to what (in the early days) could easily have been a one-note character. 40 years later, although her screen time is diminished, she delivers a one-liner with the best of them. Thank God Alan gave her that house! 2. Robin Mattson as Heather. So much happened to Heather… Read more »
Steve, great commentary as usual!
“No comments necessary on the somewhat short-lived Edward #3.” And yet I feel compelled to go there! I had actually forgotten about Jed Allan’s short-lived tenure as Edward until you brought it up. But I remember thinking at the time that he was too young for the part (I believe Allan was 69 when he joined GH). I fondly remember him as a leading man in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly on DOOL. And so time marches on…
Thanks James
Jed Allan is a fine actor (and great host of Celebrity Bowling!). However, he was totally wrong for Edward. In a rare admission of error, Jill Phelps eventually realized this and put Ingle back on contract after his DAYS stint.
Sandra Ferguson’s brief tenure as Felicia and the guy who took over as Larry Ashton last year were other head scratchers.
@Steve……Your description of Constance Towers’ Helena as “equal parts evil and elegant” was sheer perfection! The mere mention of this iconic character reinforces my great hope that we shall once again be treated to both aspects of her larger-than-life personality, as I still refuse to believe that the Cassadine “Ice Queen” has truly departed this earthly plane.
I wish they would bring back the 90s opening sequence. Faces of the Heart truly epitomized love in the afternoon!
Agreed. That was when GH had heart!
I loved “Faces of the Heart” opening sequence.
When Laura returns to Luke after having been held captive by the Cassadines and presumed dead. THAT was Luke’s best exit story. Gloria Monty did them both justice during that story arc.
My other favorite times were when Laura and Luke were broken up yet found themselves living in the same run-down apartment building, and both working for ELQ.
This promo hardly represents the history of the show or some of it’s best moments…
Everything from the late 70s until 1985!!!!
indeed!
“to family” – Sonny / Carly / Jason OPEN CLIP MONTAGE w/champagne
the joke is on us
as the clip ends… Laura Wright and Steve Burton hug it out CLOSE
how boring… everything in between is what made the show.
Can’t stand to watch this trio; although, I like Jason-solo, without the mob clan, and without “Mumbles” (Sam). I would like to see Jason not written as the mob lapdog and not saddled down with “Monotone Sam” and kids.
If it were not for the Luke and Laura wedding, during an era, when there was stay at home housewives to watch live tv, they would simply be just another super couple of the soaps.. My neighbor granny soap guru had told me there was AMC wedding that had Y&R Jack and a diabetic girl, that their wedding was like a Fairytale with horse pulled carriage etc and it was reported that it had more viewers than Luke and Laura but it was reported after the fact of the Luke and Laura ”hoopla” that CBS published and hyped and kept… Read more »
Sounds like another dig at Genie Francis from Su. For clarification:
It wasn’t just housewives who watched Luke and Laura’s wedding. College students scheduled their classes (or cut) around their favorite shows. GH also had the benefit of a 3:00 show in those days, after the school day ended. As cable was in its infancy, there were fewer choices to watch.
The wedding of Cliff and Nina on All My Children was magical. Quality-wise, it beat Luke and Laura, but nothing touched the GH wedding ratings.
su0000, I think you are referring to AMC’s Cliff and Nina-a gorgeous couple and wedding!
Yeah, dmr….I still hear about thst wedding from Gran. Then, what happened? Cliff turned into Jack!! Mamma mia.
@CeeCee…”Cliff” will never be “Jack” for me…even though he “plays him on tv.” (Ask your Gran about that reference to Peter Bergman’s famous commercial from the ‘80’s…)
We can all set a stopwatch to Su’s harpings of that damn wedding as if that’s ALL that time period was about. LOL The housewives comment. Hilarious. Then I guess all the young students, male and female, rushing home every day to watch the show were really just housewives and stay at home moms in disguise. Yes, we all know you seem to enjoy knocking those days and you seem to think it had no validity since it occurred before your time. And we all know you seem to believe the viewers back then must have been simple minded. I’m… Read more »
Carrie, There is also the POV that the L&L rape story brought a discussion of rape to the forefront at a time when it needed to be addressed. No one else was doing it. And the way it was handled made it cutting edge rather than a support of the patriarchy. When I found that out, I watched it too, even though L&L came slightly before I began watching in 82. I’ve watched enough to know that this fresh POV is valid and the story is loved because fans still buy into it which says a lot. The stories of… Read more »
Your “grannie friend” is wrong, su, at least on the ratings aspect. Cliff and Nina’s wedding (on ABC–All My Children–not CBS) was definitely magical and got big ratings, but the ratings still weren’t even close to what Luke and Laura’s wedding drew. And ABC hyped both weddings, just as it did its entire line-up back then (given that General Hospital, All My Children, and One Life to Live were 1-2-3 in the ratings for much of the early 80s); Cliff and Nina were all over the soap mags (which there were dozens of, back then–dozens), and there was tons of… Read more »
I don’t know where CBS fit into your comment, Su. Both shows were on ABC. Luke and Laura’s wedding DID have the most viewers. From what I read Nina and Cliff (All My Children) had the MOST MARRIAGES TO EACH OTHER. Four. But Luke and Laura hold the record… Your attempt to change soap history or scoff at it is like a Beyonce fan scoffing at The Beatles or The Stones. They’re all relevant to the fans of their generation and when there’s talent as in the aforementioned groups, the appreciation goes beyond the admiration of their contemporaries. We can… Read more »
Suuuu….I have been watching soaps since I was 3….housewives? Didn’t your mom or grandmother watch? I loved AMC, ANOTHER WORLD…. all of them.
I even watched in my College dorm….not just for housewives.
I wish I had been born at that time just for the soaps.
Only one thing I love about GH: Liason (Jason & Elizabeth), the greatest story of friendship, love and romance that has yet to be told still! Everything about Liason that includes saving each other from death and themselves, playing pool, motorcycle rides; the summers of 2002, 2006 and 2007, and early 2008 (their first kiss, Vista Point, their Night of Passion, their son Jake, saying ‘I love you’ for the first time, their secret romance and the safehouse, their song ‘Ours to Keep’, etc.)! Liason deserves both a second chance and a second coming! WE WANT LIASON BACK ON GH!!!… Read more »
B – E – A – U – T – F – U – L if this show wants any credibility… especially for the rerun of Jason and Sam. BOY was I pissed yesterday… as Sam is berating Liz about where Drew and Franco are ? God this trio has spiraled. I am so happy about it. because of Frank Valentini agenda and his hiring practice. Roaring laugh out loud… as Sam storms off to look for : Drew … and Franco? she yells out : ” I work alone ” what a joke ! any way… Liz … follows..… Read more »
I laughed when Sam jumped onto Harvey’s hotel balcony with her stupid black boots. God, how I wished she accidently tumbled over the balcony into oncoming traffic! I can’t stand her-“Mumbles!”
PS: Tamara Braun as Kim…. WOW – DANG IT – I am in love with her… she can go anywhere on the canvas…. just like Britta , no? so much chemistry.
anyway… like I read in SOD … they commented that Liz didn’t seem to have any friends… and it was SOD who suggested Kim.
YES YES YES… it’s working
LOVED how Kim brought Liz a cup of coffee… and they talked .. bonded… the start of BFF @General Hospital. as there should be… two of the HOTTEST , truly , thee leading ladies of this show
It’s never going to happen. Liz could probably get Drew though. Certainly would be an upgrade from Frodd.

Never has more truth been packed into one statement!!!! The promo dept oughta be ashamed of themselves for creating such an awful representation of 55 years of GH. Shame. Shame.
There are some much better quality content viewer-made versions floating around Twitter.
Will never forget Tracy withholding Edward’s meds as he faked a heart attack! Great performances
Jane Elliot should have been in that montage promo quite a bit.
The only person Dr. Bensch looks like to me is “Morning Schmo!”
Oh, yes Tracy & Edward scenes were awesome. And the Alan/Monica/Rick/Lesley stuff was great-Alan trying to kill Monica! And the birthmark on AJ-finding out he was Alan’s not Rick’s.
So ironic though how Steve Burton at current age looks like Rick Webber (actor chris robinson) during that time. It’s eerie how much they resemble.
And does anyone else think Dr. Bensch kinda sorta looks like a cleaned up version of Luke? Their bone structures and profiles remind me of each other.
Don’t see either of your comparisons, carrie. Steve Burton has always reminded me of Paul Newman when he was young (though Paul Newman was sorta in a class of his own…his blue eyes defined blue eyes! Yet; there’s something about Steve that reminds me of him. And poor Max DePaiva (Dr. Bensch). Did you see him years ago as Max Holden on OLTL? He was quite good-looking, charming and the ladies man! I guess it’s a tribute to his acting because he beyond creeps me out in this part. Didn’t take to the character from the beginning. As soon as… Read more »
I have not seen any of the moments that will be aired on the 55, but I hope that it does have the FIRST episode. How about Steve and Jesse and Lucille? Seventh floor nursing station! Lee? SO MANY I HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR NAMES BUT I CAN SEE THEIR FACES! One thing I loved recently (sometime in the last year) when Monica came home from playing cards and said oh… *whats her name, * whats her name and *whatsher name were all there and we played and blah blah, but we KNEW ALL OF THOSE WOMEN! It was a great… Read more »
When Luke & Laura got married we didn’t even have a way to tape the show-at least I didn’t. I was working in an office part-time as teenager & I would call home & my little sister would turn the tv up loud & lay the phone next to it so I could hear GH! I would pretend to be on hold at work, ha, ha.
You are right! I got out of school at 2:30, time to get home for our GH! Then my mom went to work as a nurse but got home right around 3, and I was there. My mom has been gone since 1997, so this is one of my favorite memories of us.
I loved the “clink/boom” montage from the 90’s with Sonny and Lily and Brenda and Jax. Oh, how I loved that era! I also loved the adventure of the 80’s with Frisco and Felicia (my first, favorite super couple). I remember crying when BJ died, and then when Stone died. So many stories were told with ‘heart and soul’ back then. Of course, I loved and miss the Q’s.
Where are you guys seeing these montages? I have not seen anything! Does it not start until next Monday?
AND
WE’RE
JUST
GETTING
STARTED
as – his – piercing blue eyes don that mask… shiver me timbers
Would be mice to see some clips of Aunt Ruby and Nurse Ann Logan.
That promo was a compilation of recent GH history. It did nothing to celebrate or honor its beginnings, its soul, its roots. It’s comparable to a family tree dating back ten years.
Great music though! Packed quite the punch! hahahah…true.
Top 5 GH Weddings: 1. Luke & Laura — just for how it impacted the cultural zeitgeist. Throw in Elizabeth Taylor and the surprise return of Scotty catching the bouquet. 2. Alan & Lucy — the scene of her walking down the stairs in the right red dress. 3. Robert & Anna — the outdoor shoot in the “Quartermaine Garden” 4. Sean & Tiffany — could anyone not laugh at Elsie Mae Crumholtz 5. Frisco & Felicia — the cop marrying the Aztec princess A shout out to the “almost was”: Patrick & Sabrina — does it get more soapy… Read more »
Gawd I loved the Elsie Mae Crumholtz moment. 🙂
Sab’s “wedding interruptus” was one of GH’s greatest visual moments ever….seeing her jilted, whimpering and collapsed at the altar in a mound of crumpled taffeta was simply awesome!
This so-called promo tells you all you need to know about the mindset of the GH brass: Sonny, Carly, Jason ad nauseam… But you already knew that, now, didn’t you?!?! And, yeah, we got the double entendre of Sonny’s mention of “family.” Look! They threw a bone to Monica! As usual, for any retrospective, they trot out a black-and-white scene from the first episode and then fastforward to the Luke and Laura wedding of 1981, as though nothing in the 1960s and 1970s mattered… Look! They threw a bone to the BJ heart-transplant story! For 2.5+ decades, the focus has… Read more »
Haven’t “seen” you in a while, Jamesj! But this post was worth waiting for! LOL!
Thank you, rebecca1! You’re a day brightener!
James…as usual…RIGHT ON, BROTHER!!!!! Now…here are my 2 cents…
1. That SCUMBAG Sonny even bringing up the word ‘family’…what a joke?!?!?
2. Next time, Nelle should PUNCH Carly!!!!! POW!!!!!
3. Oh, how I miss Tony Jones…A LOT!!!!!
4. I wish that Monica was onscreen…A LOT MORE!!!!!
5. Oh…and BTW, your last paragraph (and your smiley face) made me LOL!!!!! Forgive me, Brother…but I had to laugh. Again…lol.
Have a good one, Brother. Later.
Thank you, jaybird369! We’re sympatico, for sure. Glad you liked my last paragraph… 🙂
I agree with you jaybird, and I miss Tony Jones too. It’s nice when people remember him.
James
Unfortunately, most of the episodes from the 60s and 70s no longer exist. As was common at the time, they reused the same tapes. An outlier or two pop up on YouTube once in a while, but unless there’s a hidden vault somewhere, we’ll miss out on those early moments.
You know, Steve, I had heard that before, too, and it’s such a shame. It’s almost hard to believe. I guess we just have to rely on our memory…
Anything with Luke and Laura, from their on the run story, dancing at Wyndams department store, their wedding, the reuniting at the mayor’s mansion, the triple L diner scenes, to the ups and downs in their marriage. No other ciuple like them with that type of chemistry. But, loved Scorpio and Holly slowly falling in love, sexy couple, the early Brenda and Sonny falling in love, and all of Alan and Monica, him stalking her and Rick, the explosion, Monica’s breast cancer story, Alan’s drug addiction. GH’s biggest mistake will always be killing off Alan.
ditto Alan should still be here!
They could have shown some Quartermaine bickering in that promo. They could have shown some Quartermaine pizza thanksgiving scenes….something…..anything.
Alan and AJ; what were they thinking killing off the Qs!!!!???
General Hospital
GH’s Brook Kerr and Tabyana Ali Talk On: Trina’s Trial, Spencer and Rory, And Their On-Screen Mother/Daughter Relationship
Currently, General Hospital fans are awaiting the verdict in Trina’s trial and just what lengths her mother will go to in order to secure her freedom! With the story playing out on-air, Michael Farman chatted in a new virtual interview with the two women central to the story; Brook Kerr (Portia) and Tabyana Ali (Trina).
As viewers know, Trina was set-up by Esme Prince (Avery Pohl), to make it appear that she taped her best friends, Cameron (William Lipton) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) having sex, and then posted the video from her phone, so it went viral.
Photo: ABC
During the conversation for You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana and Brook weigh-in on what’s gone down at the trial including; how Spencer Cassadine came forward with an alibi for Trina, plus how Portia may put her medical career at risk if she brings Esme’s partner in crime, Oz, out of his coma to get the evidence they need to point the finger on Esme.
In addition, Tabyana and Brook share their thoughts on the men in Trina’s life: Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Rory Cabrera (Michael Blake Kruse), and how the #Sprina has a life of its own on social media.
Courtesy/ABC
Brook also shares dishes on Portia’s romantic relationship with Curtis (Donnell Turner), plus the recent noteworthy scenes between Portia and Stella (Vernee Watson), where GH shed light on a mother’s concern; that racial injustice could factor in to the jury’s decision in Trina’s case.
Photo: ABC
Tabyana also discusses working alongside GH co-stars, Maura West (Ava) and Carolyn Hennesy (Diane), and what it was like taking over the role of Trina from popular fan favorite, Sydney Mikayla.

Check out the full chat with Brook and Tabyana below.
Do you want Trina to end up with Spencer or Rory? Will the jury exonerate Trina? What was your favorite part of the conversation with Brook and Tabyana? Let us know in the comment section.
General Hospital
Kin Shriner Celebrates 45-Year Milestone as General Hospital’s Scott Baldwin
What would General Hospital be without Kin Shriner, who has always played Scott Baldwin to the hilt with unique style and acting chops? Today on August 2nd, Kin marks his 45th anniversary with the ABC daytime drama series, and the series just would never be the same without his four decades plus of performances, making him an enduring fan favorite.
Shriner debuted on GH back on this date in 1977. Scott’s love story with Laura (Genie Francis) would begin to set a new trajectory for GH. Later, when Laura married Luke (Tony Geary) in 1981, and Scott made a shocking appearance at the reception and caught the bouquet, the character turned to the dark side which started a new era of story for Scott/Laura/Luke and more.
Photo: ABC
Scott is the stepson of attorney, Lee Baldwin (the late Peter Hansen) and Dr. Gail Adamson (the late Susan Brown); although through the years they tangled over differences, the family loved and cared for one another.
Photo: ABC
In more recent years, Scott’s legal eagle courtroom antics are always a must-see for viewers, as well as any time Shriner gets to show Scott’s emotional side, such as the time he learned his son Franco (Roger Howarth) had died.
Photo: ABC
Kin’s scenes with his current on-screen love interest, Kathleen Gati (Liesl) are always a delight for GH fans, as well.
In addition to his General Hospital run, Shriner appeared as Scott in the GH spinoff; Port Charles from 1997-2000 and again in 2001.
Photo: ABC
Share your congratulations to Kin on his 45th anniversary in the comment section, and then let us know what has been your favorite Scott Baldwin scene through the years.
But first, in case you missed it, check out our interview last year with Kin on the Michael Fairman Channel below.
General Hospital
General Hospital’s Maura West Delivers The ‘Power Performance of the Week’
On last Thursday and Friday’s episode of General Hospital, the ABC soap opera finally moved the story forward with the reveal to Ava (Maura West) that Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) and Esme (Avery Pohl) slept together, and within it, fans got to witness the beginning of the fallout and the reaction as played by three-time Daytime Emmy-winner and enduring fan favorite, Maura West.
As one might expect, the material in the hands of the mighty West, and the acting choices she makes are always intriguing and masterful.
In story, things start to unravel for Ava, when outside Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) courtroom trial, Esme and Ava have a confrontation. It is there that Esme snarks at Ava, that she has the ability to destroy her world. When Ava dares her to try, Nikolas shows up on the scene begging Esme to stop. However, a manipulative Esme says, “Too late, I’m ending this right here, right now.” After lighting the fire, Esme walks off telling Nikolas to have a nice chit chat with his wife.
Next, Ava and Nikolas go to a private office, and Nikolas tells her that he made a huge mistake. A now suspicious Ava, asks, “What kind of mistake?” Nikolas then goes on to explain how he slept with Esme, just once, when he thought his relationship with Ava had tanked and had suffered irreparable damage.
Courtesy/ABC
What comes after was where West shined, as a sarcastic Ava quipped, “Poor you, seduced by a high school graduate.” Ava, then launches into that she thought she married a man, but instead she married a spineless weakling, and now she is going to burn him to the ground.
Later at Wyndemere, as Esme is frantically packing her suitcase and taking with her the all-important envelope linking her to Ryan (Jon Lindstrom), Ava appears and a confrontation begins with Ava calling out Esme as a, “conniving little whore”. Esme flaps back that Ava slept with both Morgan and Sonny (Maurice Benard)! Having put two and two together, Ava says she know that Esme is responsible for the revenge sex tape of Cameron (Willian Lipton) and Joss (Eden McCoyand setting fire to her car.
Courtesy/ABC
Ava has wised up from all of Esme’s nasty statements and has come to realize that everything Esme has done including sleeping with Nikolas, feels like a targeted, planned attack on her, and she knows there is more to this story than Esme has ever let on. When Ava spots the envelope in Esme’s suitcase, she goes to get it, but Esme grabs it from her. Then, with a steely warning, Ava tells Esme that she will be going to the courthouse now to exonerate Trina, and if she doesn’t, Ava will make sure Esme disappears and no one will ever be able to find her alive.
Now, while some viewers may be waiting for a knock-down drag-out catfight, we don’t know what will happen on Monday or Tuesday’s episode, but sometimes it’s more delicious just letting the words and its intentions drive the action, and West delivered the goods in spades in scenes with Marcus Coloma and Avery Pohl.
For all the reasons stated above, Michael Fairman TV names Maura West’s work as The Power Performance of the Week.
What did you think of Maura’s performance in the scenes where Ava finds out Nikolas slept with Esme and Ava’s confrontation later with Esme? What do you hope happens next? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section. But firstm check out some moments from West’s performance below.
