We were so excited to wake up to the news this morning that General Hospital’s Kirsten Storms (Maxie) and former GH star Brandon Barash (Ex-Johnny) welcomed into the world late last evening the newest addition to their family … a baby girl!
Brandon tweeted the news by stating: “Our passenger has touched down and arrived. Welcome to our world. There has not been a more fulfilling day. @teenystweeting #babygirlbarash”
The popular duo revealed they were married last June and Storms was pregnant in an article in PEOPLE this past August.
A flurry of well wishes from Kirsten and Brandon’s GH co-stars came in over the last several hours on Twitter including the series head writer Ron Carlivati who expressed: “@BrandonBarash @teenystweeting Congratulations, Brandon & Kirsten! So happy for you guys! xoxo”

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.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

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.

Such a happy couple..I wish them well as a new family. Hope they both are caught up on their sleep!
Congrats!!
Congratulations to the couple. I hope to see Kristen return ASAP to GH. I miss Brandon as he did an outstanding acting job in the role of Johnny. Does anybody know what he is doing now when he isn’t being a new dad?
GH… by all accounts… should forefront Carly…. but… what to do with her?
cat fight with Ava? it was so embarrassing… to watch, I think, mondays epi… when she had lunch with Michael and Kiki – to this day, duller than ever – as she “shared” she’s seeing Franco
even more so … is how troubling, it is to watch RH, Franco – he’s having visions, and or his own psychotic lapses with Olivia… it’s all the proof we need… that RH’ Franco is just not working
oh he’s nice to look at… and that’s about it
if they need to resuscitate Carly… they need to bring back Jax or Johnny
the only way to give relevance to Carly – otherwise she’s filler…. like Sonny, Michael, and Kiki, ‘Livia
Many congratulations and blessings to both Kirsten and Brandon for the beautiful gift they’ve brought into the world!
Congratulations Brandon and Kristen…Brandon would be the perfect Adam recast on Y&R but would rather see him back on GH in the future!!!
congrats! bet its one beautiful baby, hope they both come back to GH, and baby can come to work with them! just wishful thinking, i know kisten is schedule to come back, hopefully, Brandon will return to GH too.
congratulation to you all on the birth of your baby girl!
How wonderful!!
Congratulations, Brandon & Kirsten!
Baby girl will bring you a lifetime of happiness!!
Congratulations!!!
Congrats to the happy couple! Get lots of sleep! And Kirsten, sleep when your beautiful little girl sleeps!!!
Wow–so excited for them both!! Loved Brandon as Johnny Zacarra and have watched Kirsten develop into a amazing actress since she was Belle on Days. Wishing you both all the joys of new parenthood!
Congrats to a great folks who I dig so much onscreen, and who are real do-gooders off screen. I’s funny but I thought the baby who played Maxie’s daughter looked a lot like Kirsten and I have a feeling Kirsten and Brandon’s little girl is a beauty. Blessed be, all three of you.
Congrads guys!!!!!! so happy for you!!!! Now please please talk Brandon back as Johnny so you can all work close by!!!!! 🙂
Congratulations Kirsten and Brandon!!! I am sure she is adorable!!! Enjoy!!!
Congratulations! Can’t wait to see the pictures!
Congratulations on your baby girl. I love watching you guys on GH. I am behind in two two days on watching GH. I have had too much company. I live in Fl and my friends want to come to the warm weather. He he. I will catch up tonight.
Happy new year to you both and the beautiful baby. Can’t wait to see pics….
Congrats Brandon & Kirsten! Such a beautiful couple-know baby girl is too! This is ur miracle baby..all u really needed Kirsten was to be really happy..u had such a rough yr before! So happy for you both! Can’t wait til your back at work…now if GH would get Brandon back!
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter Kristin and Brandon.
Congrats to the new parents. Take turns getting up with the new bundle of joy. Best to the three of you.
Will Johnny ever come back to GH? And when will Heather die for good? CHEERS!
Would love to see him back as Johnny Z (GH could really use his talent), but as mentioned above my bet is he heads to Y&R as Adam recast since he’s tight with Burton and Jill.
They must be a happy and a cute couple.
