Clearly, with all the drama behind-the-scenes with the women of the panel of ABC’s morning talker The View, it’s time for a man to step in and shake things up some more!
And, that guy just happens to be General Hospital heartthrob Ryan Paevey (Nathan), who will make his talk show co-host debut on the upcoming Tuesday, February 17th episode of the long-running morning show. Glee’s Naya Rivera will also be along as guest co-host along with the Port Charles favorite.
Ryan and Naya, and the rest of the ladies of the panel, will welcome to the show John Slattery and Amy Morton, who will be on-hand promoting their new film Blue Bird. In addition, Ella Henderson will perform her hit single Ghost.
The View has been grabbing headlines again of late for the departure of Rosie O’Donnell, who last aired on Thursday, and Rosie Perez, who was rumored to be exiting, but instead is staying put. Although, recently surfaced reports from Radar Online say she is still on her way out the door!
Ryan tweeted an image and teaser of what he was going to be going next Tuesday below!
So, what would you think if The View had a man finally join their panel in an on-going capacity? Are you looking forward to seeing Ryan co-host next Tuesday’s episode? Share your thoughts below!

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.

Just as long as he stays on GH as well, I’ll be happy.
Yes! Please stay on GH! I just showed a couple co-workers one of his many, fabulous, jaw dropping, print commercial photos… saying this is fabulous eye candy I get on my soap! 😀
He is gorgeous. and a good actor! te he he I’m not surprised he got snagged to be seen by a larger audience. they’ll probably get more people turning into GH to watch him.
Oh crud! The View set is in New York! General Hospital studios are in LA…
Damn! I was hoping this would read: “GH star Ryan Paevey set to LEAVE the soap this spring!” 🙁
He co-hosting for a day not joining the show permanently.
he is only on for 1 day. relax he is not leaving GH
The View needs to remain a woman’s panel. Stop believing that woman cannot get along.
Women are more catty BUT no mater the sex, if you get people in a room conversing about issues, they will disagree, man or woman.
What a refreshing addition
He’s not an addition. He’s just a guest host for the day.
Even only 4 a day.
I feel sorry for Ryan..
Poor guy has to suffer through being on the The View ..
Really. I do feel for the guy.. lol
They shouldv’e hired Bruce Jenner…lol
Another Women’s point of VIEW. THATS A MAN BABY! [Austin Powers]
It will be interesting to see how he survives the ladies on The View. Someone probably told him it was a good career move. We’ll see. One of the comments said that The View is in NY, GH in L.A. Going to be hard to juggle both. But it’s not the first time ABC has used one of their actors/hosts on two different shows.
Rose…he’s not becoming one of the hosts. It’s just a one time guest host appearance.
Next they will force him to appear on The Chew.
ABC is run by morons, Brian Frons may have been a particularly despicable one,but the executive suites at the networks are populated by many more of these losers who wield a great deal of power
and don’t know what they are doing.ABC/Disney is all about brand promotion and cross-promotion -not about providing quality entertainment for the audience.
The View should have been put out of its misery (and the audience’s)a long time ago.It’s a disgrace.
What makes them think he has enough personality to be in front of a live audience….uggh disappointing LOL
Dude has a guardian angel (or a relative) at GH he’s being well marketed/promed …he doesn’t suffer for story either.
He’s just a guest host. And he has a lot of personality. Actually quite intelligent with varied interests…
I hate The View..a bunch of cackling, screaming, fighting assine women.
He will fit right in. Oh and those yentas with fall all over him. The only thing worse is that crazy hostess from the TALK, Sheryl Underwood, she is stalker crazy!
He will definitely be the prettiest one on the show!
LOVE TO WATCH HIM BUT CANT STAND THIS SHOW!!!!!!! WONT EVER BE WATCHING.
Barbra knew what she was doing, for sure.
I think RP is smart to try and get exposure on a show like The View. I’ve seen him a couple of times on Extra and he’s pretty good. Something like that would probably be a much better career path than acting for him to follow.
He had nothing to do with this one-off booking-he was told to do it to attempt to draw his fans into watching the sinking ship the View.
Oh, sweet Jesus…I think I shall swoon…LOL.
I must remember to watch. I feel badly for THE VIEW as it has not been up to par with the new crew aboard.
Ryan is such a welcomed guest host…I can’t believe it. Good for you, producers of the show!!
I am truly looking forward to this….with bated breath….LOL.
I hope he will be asked personal questions….I like those. Seriously.
Hi CeeCee 🙂
I am going to send you a life sized photo of Ryan, the one of his tight butt and rippling abs..
Make room under your bed to hide it from hubby 😉
Send her his audition tapes, acting lessons, and Emmy, oh right they dont exist! You two better behave!
I thought this show was supposed to be womens point of view with a women only panel???…lol
They’ve had men in the panel before…
A guest host or regular ? yes, as long as he stays with GH !
I am not a fan of the View. I liked when Barbara appeared.. sometimes. Can’t stand Rosie Perez who appears not very smart.. to be kind. But i will watch when Ryan is on. I don’t care if they get a man on there, but don’t want it to be Ryan, I want him to stay on GH.
Hi, Lin.
Rosie Perez is one of the smartest women to grace TV. She is a College graduate and then some.
Yes, I have a hard time understanding her speech sometimes, however that does not , by any means, suggest she is stupid. She is very altruistic with her charities and works hard for the rights of the underdog.
If you would just take a moment and listen with a positive attitude, or read her bio, you would automatically be aware of how well-versed this woman Really is …..socially, politically and worldly
I agree CeeCee. This Rosie is tight, that other Rosie is a big mouth bully who walked away again. Thank God.
Rosie Perez needs to be fired from the view. She is a stupid lady and a troll. Very annoying and her wigs looks cheap. lol.
@Darren…I’d love to see what you look like…
Ugh, why does he want to do that crappy show? Hopefully, he does better than Jason Thompson (where those yentas wouldn’t let him get a word in edgewise!).
The view needs to be cancelled, Ryan please talk and cutt off these annoying ladies. They are all has beens. Rosie O Donnell was smart to leave. the view again. The view is no longer watchable, but I will watch Ryan next week.
What is your definition of ‘has been’, Gino? Someone who does not exist any longer? Would you like to be thought of as an ‘has been?’ Say you do not like the panel or disagree with what they impart….but don’t call anyone THAT. They exist.
I don’t care what anyone says. I like what these women represent. I support and applaud their individualism and their Frank approach. Yes, the show has been losing steam. Yes, this musical chairs effect is irritating….I do not like the concept of all the different guest hosts showing up ( except Ryan, of course)…..it gives the show a sense of disconnection. But, for everyone to come down on the show is not fair. If ‘they’ use gimmicks to stay afloat, sobeit. ‘They’ have the right to try to salvage the show, if they are able. More power to ‘them’. I am not afraid to speak my mind, within the limits of decorum…I never have been. I will not speak the words that everyone else speaks just to be part of the in-group. I have my own voice and I will use it. I haven’t been called the Ice Princess throughout my College and graduate years for nothing.
“Walters and company started a great thing with THE VIEW. Everyone else is a copycat”. …words of wisdom from my Gran.
Well….. Ryan is actually a descent interviewer. I’ll watch that ONE episode of the view….
I think some of you are misinterpreting. He’s not a new permant host of this hideous show…he’s a one time guest host…to boost ratings. I hate being manipulated, and I hate The View…bit I’ll dvr this one edpisode because I love this guy!
@rebecca1….I don’t think there has ever been a time I’ve been more in agreement with you!!!! I also loathe this appalling show—I always have and actually refer to it as “The Shrew(s)” because none of the women featured on it has ever spoken to or for me. Quite frankly, I find it to be an embarrassment to the female species, and I also have to add that there would be a far better cross-section of ladies and opinions, not to mention more intelligent conversation and debate, were Mr. Fairman to take the two of us, plus k/Kay, CeeCee and even su and put us together in a studio!!!! Now THAT would be EPIC! ……P.S. Of course, referees—and possibly bouncers—would be required! Perhaps Harry, jimh, Patrick, Timmm and some of our other favorite male regulars here at MFSoaps could provide assistance, although I’m sure YOU would prefer Ryan Paevey!!!! LOL…..
I gotta say…I pretty much quit watching The View after Joy Behar left. B-u-t…since that VERY RUGGEDLY DREAMY Ryan Paevey will be Co-Hosting The View this upcoming Tuesday (February 17th), I will definitely be watching!!!!! RYAN TRULY ROCKS!!!!!
Yes jaybird Ryan rocks and he is one hot hot dude. Very sexy eye candy, I am drooling LOL. My boyfriend will kill me. lmao. I am a bad bad boy.
So guys, do we agree, Ryan is smoking hot but is not a good actor?
Mario cantone is sort of a semi regular and he’s annoying but in my opinion a men would ruin it and Mario is prove of that. I find it interesting though that the view under the entertainment umbrella barely ever invited anyone from soaps or gh specifically yet under the news umbrella they have Ryan coming in to co host do thumbs up to that…
Mario Cantone is a cutie, not annoying at all. Aria take your meds and please have a nice day.
I love Mario. He has this wry, sardonic sense of humor (reminds me a little of harry) , where I’m somewhat bewildered…is he serious? I can’t tell sometimes. LOL.
I will be taping it to watch. Depending on how good it is I may want to watch it more than once. I like when they shake things up. Ryan is an awesome shake up. Looking forward to seeing him natural and talking with others instead of just acting. Besides the eye candy he has an excellent voice.
They are shaking things up because they are desperate. The show is tanking. Ryan will try and sway females to watch GH. Thats it. Excellent voice? He sounds like he has marbles in his mouth when he speaks! Just saying.
Lol, Timmmm. You REALLY don’t like Ryan’s acting. I think he’s adorable both in looks and execution. He doesn’t seem like he IS acting…there’s almost a naivete or in-the- moment subtle quality that makes him more real to me. He doesn’t overact, nor does he make exaggerated expressions or reactions. Just comes off as a good guy, earnest, moral and an everyday guy despite his exquisite looks. Yes, he spoke with very stilted, clipped sentences when he first appeared…I think he’s warmed up and relaxed which makes for a more realistic delivery. Now leave him alone! 😉
I’m sure Ryan is a good guy. I guess my biggest problem is if he is so green, why cast him in THIS role who has so many scenes with key characters of which most our veterans of the show?
I don’t think he’s been thrown in with the vets. Most of his scenes are with Dante and Maxi…less so with Dr. O and Anna. Either way , he never ruins a scene for me…I like his character and him in the role. I think the major distraction is his stunning looks….you just can’t help but be aware of them!
GH is not tanking! There are plenty of people out there that have been watching since they were kids just like me! Females are already watching because of him. Of course it would not hurt to have some more people watching. Variety is what keeps people watching shows so when the View has men on that is the show shaking things up and that is a good thing. Bottom line is that the network is keeping itself alive!
I think he meant The View is tanking.
