GENERAL HOSPITAL: Should Anna Let Cates Take Valentin Away For His Crimes and Free Jason?
GH fans knew it was almost too good to be true! On Monday’s episode of the ABC daytime drama series, Anna got caught up in her feels after out of nowhere, Charlotte (Scarlett Fernanndez) apologizes for all the horrible things she did to her, and also accepts Anna’s (Finola Hughes) forgiveness for shooting her.
Charlotte tells Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Anna that she is so happy to see them together and it;s good for her father, so it’s OK by her. At this point, Anna has just gotten her hands on the file she needed to prove Valentin was in charge of Pikeman in order to also free Jason from under the thumb of Agent John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington).
As Anna leaves to go look at the encrypted files, she is in tears. She opens a computer and finds the ammo against Valentin. When confronted by Jason (Steve Burton), after she confirms all the very incriminating evidence is , she says she can’t give it to him, not yet.

Now on the preview for today’s Tuesday, July 16th episode, Anna tells Jason, “I can’t let Cates take Valentin away.” Jason is upset and wants his two and a half year nightmare to come to an end.
What should Anna do? Should she turn in the evidence on Valentin? Will she and Jason work together to pin this on someone else in order to free Jason and protect Valentin? Will thPikeman story ever end?
Check out the video preview below.
Now, weigh in, what should Anna do? Do you want Valentin free so “Vanna” can continue to rebuild their relationship? Comment below.
I’d rather see Nu-Jagger gone. Valentin has lots to offer. I would like to see Charlotte more. Not certain of their age difference but I could see her and Gio working together.
Pairing Gio with Trina doesn’t work for me… it could have if he would have been the recast for Spencer, but pairing him with Trina as a reminder of Spencer is boring.
I just love Gio, he’s so sweet to everyone, the “grownups” as well as the younger ones. I love his interaction with Dex, they are so easy with each other.Most of all, it was great seeing him with Tracy, she really outdid herself, knowing just how to draw everything out of him, her sitting there in her long nightgown, hair down and he sitting there enjoying his Sub- sandwich, after assuring her that he didn’t make a mess.
This is a no-brainer. YES, Anna should hand over what she has to John. But this is a soap opera set around mobsters so I guess if Anna doesn’t go by the law, we shouldn’t be surprised.
I think it’s not what it all appears to be. I’m enjoying it so far. The thing is of she obtained the evidence by stealing it with no search warrant how is it admissible at all? Don’t think Cates can use that as an informant because that would mean Jason has to lie and say he stole it? Way to write yourself into a corner GH. Just make Val an undercover WSB trying to wash out the real head of pikeman from the inside already.
I’m not quite sure I trust this Cates guy, he’s got too many irons in the fire, Ava being the worst, she’s like a rattle snake, hope they get each other!v
What is Anna up to? Jason sure looked pissed, color me intrigued and it was nice to see Charlotte apologize for acting all cray cray. Oh and by the way they better not be sending Jake off for good, now if they are sending him off to jump start Lucky’s return in Europe then I’m in but do not get rid of Jake. Question, why is Jason giving Jake money? Didn’t Jake get inheritance in a trust when Jason was playing dead for the 100th time? at this point with Jason being the inconsistent parent, he should of had a provision with his so called high price lawyer Diane that if any and I mean anything happens to him Jake should financially be taken care of with Liz being allowed to access his trust, I mean where’s grandma Monica too can she slip her grandson a few thousand dollar bills here and there?
Nope. Love JPS. Send Cates off
I love him too. No one can play our complex boy Val like JPS. So many layers. Also he and Finola have wicked chemistry. I’m team Vanna and rooting for them hoping he is flipping to take pikeman down or to protect Anna.
Enough of Pikeman !!!!
Called it. I knew once Charlotte came along Anna would stop trying to take down Valentin. It makes no sense, though, since Anna knew about her all along and that Valentin’s crimes would take him from her.
This is why Anna is no heroine on this show.
I want Anna and Valentin back together with Charlotte- they went through so much after defeating Victor there was no need to break them up. He was reddened and we thought they were going to be partners when she went to Greenland. Now this. I hope he becomes the hero now.
They may pin it on someone else to buy time. I think Cates and Ava make a good pairing. What if Cates is pikeman. I do know that Vanna are the best SL and pairing and that’s why I watch. They will need to team up and take down the bad guys again – oh and bring back Marty we miss him.
I think Valentin should pay for everything he’s done, especially everything he and his spoiled brat daughter have done to Anna, God, his lousy father almost killed Anna, didn’t he? It’s not Anna’s responsibility to worry what will become of Charlotte.She’s got her grandmother and I bet Lulu will come to ,soon. She’s got her cousin Aiden and Uncle Lucky, coming back soon. I think Jason is worth saving more than Valentin’s sorry ass.
Jason should let valentine go to jail with cates Anna has lost her mind he doesn’t care about her or Charlotte don’t either she should do her job
To keep characters on the canvas, none of law enforcement really ever wins on this show. Anna, Robert, Dante, Chase, Mac and so on find that they never really get their perp UNLESS its a character who is going off screen or they are killing off. I would prefer to have Valentin pay for his crimes and go to Jail. Be off camera for a couple months. Let Anna take in Charlotte for a bit. [Anna could not be the one getting credit for Val’s arrest] THEN, in a couple months, Valentin returns and the character is a recast by none other than Trevor St. John! Sorry, never a fan of James Patrick Stuart. As for Jagger, I like the guy. He has managed to have scenes with lots of different characters. I like when he gets under Sonny’s skin!
Sorry to disagree but I absolutely can’t stand Jagger, especially his hatred for Sonny and Jason and willing to believe that lying bitch, Ava. I couldn’t believe it when he defended her to Jason. Oh yea, she’s such a good mother, you never see her without a damn drink in her hand, and wants to take her away from the dad, she adores. I like Valentin and I think he’s a little like Sonny, he basically has a loving heart, but can’t resist doing the wrong thing. Isn’t it funny how the bad guys hate each other?
Valentin is not worth it Anna, Let Jason go and be free.
I feel like I’ve missed something. Why are Carly and Jason taking it for granted that they are free from Jagger’s threats and demands about everything he’s holding over Jason? This guy is relentless, and will never quit coming after him and Sonny.

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.
