General Hospital
GH Preview – Week of July 2, 2018
This week on General Hospital as the fourth of July brings fireworks in the sky and fireworks for the relationships in Port Charles, Nina (Michelle Stafford) tells Peter (Wes Ramsey) this may be his last chance for her to let him go as he bargains to go free, while she must decide whether to finally get out of the mess she finds herself in from her part in his kidnapping.
Meanwhile, most of Michael’s (Chad Duell) family and friends react negatively to the news that he is engaged to Nelle (Chloe Lanier), but that does not deviate him from his plan to get the goods on Nelle, and free his mother Carly (Laura Wright) from Ferncliff. Will Nelle finally lose at her own game?
And, why is Julian (William deVry) so into information on birth parents and adoptive laws? Is he planning on doing something illegal to help his son, Lucas (Ryan Carnes) and Brad (Parry Shen) become parents without any trouble, or will he end up causing more trouble than anyone bargained for? Should Kim (Tamara Braun) be concerned?

Wish the Peter/Nelle storylines would wrap up. Looking forward to Lucas and Brad. This is one of my favorite stories. Hope Julian doesn’t mess up their adoption. Wish they were on more, so we could really get a feel of what they’re going through.
I like Brad and Lucas too. This entire storyline has been told “off-air.” I think that Nelle has something to do with their private adoption. Yet, the parking lot hire is on every day. Lucky us.
Yeah and he’s tied to a bed. It’s truly sad. His scenes do nothing to advance the story. They certainly don’t make me feel sorry for him. I was rooting for the rattlesnake.
LMAO!!!!!
Me, too, Trish. I also felt that the snake gave a better performance in the scene.
Oops…sorry, Soaphound! Didn’t mean to paraphrase your line…I just didn’t read it until after I posted my own!
I agree, Trish. Not to mention the sex appeal factor. Brad has always pushed my buttons, that gorgeous hair alone. And the bad boy pout…yes, more Brad and Lucas!
Soaphound, Brad may have nice hair, but he is not a nice person. After all the things he’s done, helping Britt become mother to Lulu’s baby, and trying to blackmail Heyden and Finn,etc. Sorry, but I wouldn’t give him a baby in a million years!
I bet a lot were rooting for the boy”scout” that had the sense to immediately find the key under the doormat, but lacked the brains to run for help. Any kid I know, would have run out to their group screaming” help, help, there’s a guy back there, all tied up to a bed” Why make that boy look so dumb? I guess we have to watch (or not) the crazy Dr. O, mit her sidekick, torture Peter a while longer.Wonder if she brought the toothpicks to use under his fingernails, and I don’t mean to clean them!
Amen, Violet. This kid makes me recall the classic line from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”: “I weep for the future”. The kid seemed like a robot only programmed for those silly badges. Hope it’s just a brief visit to Port Charles. We’ve already met the dimwit quota.
Did you watch OLTL, Soaphound? If so, that’s the kid who played little Sam! He was so adorable!!!
Rebecca1, no I didn’t watch OLTL regularly. It’s not the actor’s fault, it’s the writing I don’t like here. Just doesn’t ring true.
I agree; the scene was ridiculous. The first thing a boyscout would do is seek help. I’m starting to think Obrecht paid him to check on the man in the cabin. Maybe she told him it was part of a game they were playing…
Was anyone else shocked by Michael’s disappointment over Drew’s not being present at his engagement announcement? Really? He hasn’t said ‘boo’ to Drew since Jason dropped thru the ceiling! Like Carly (who never even thanked Drew for rescuing Joss), Sonny (whose life Drew saved twice), Spinelli, and Robin (Drew saved her from elevator bomb), Michael proved to be a false friend. Still, Chad is really cute and I like the new “anti-Nelle” attitude. When this is all over, I’d like he and Chase to be friends. He needs someone besides Jason for a bromance.
Soaphound. Yes I thought it a little weird, especially since no one but Monica has given two s***s for him,since Jason literally dropped back in to GC. I guess they were probably using him for a place holder, when he deserves so much more than that.I am getting impatient waiting for something or someone to happen to this special guy, because as the young ones say, he’s really got it going on!
I STILL want someone to acknowledge that Franco is Drew and Jasons cousin!
rebecca 1. I had totally forgotten that Jason and Franco’s mother’s were cousins. Isn’t it also ironic that Franco and Liz share the same half-brother in Steven Lars Webber?
SOMEONE MENTIONED AN EDIT BUTTON. WHERE IS IT PLEASE?
Hi Violet. It appears AFTER your comment is approved. So, you can’t edit when u write your initial comment but once it posts you can go back and edit it. The edit option will be next to the reply option.
Thanks Rebecca, I did know that, but sometimes I have second thoughts, after posting, and oops! I need the edit button then. To me, editing after something’s been approved can be too late, your words are out there, and I might not catch it, until its too late. Don’t mind disagreeing with someone, but don’t like to offend. I’ve had this happen a couple of times, the past year, and am a little gun shy. What’s the saying about the tongue and the sword?
Michael, thank you so much for the great explanation. It all makes sense now. Violet
endgame–
valentin will rescue Peter and Nina.
He will be ‘fixer’ .
Nina SHOULD let Peter go….two wrongs do not make a right….except in Algebra. LOL.
Yet, Liesl is painstakingly making sure Peter is in constant pain and discomfort….hungry and thirsty. The mad, diabolical doctor is doing her thing.
Always on top of her mountain, Ms Gati is….truly love this actress.
Neither she nor Nina has the right to play God. I can understand how an eye for an eye is tempting ( esoteric), but Liesl is not thinking that with her in prison, little James will not be in her life.
Nina? I hope she does the right thing. I love this character….she has come a long way; therefore, it would be truly frustrating and dirty if the writers steered in that direction.
Julian? Not that I care, but the evil seed is still within him….as is Sonny’s.
Julian’s countenance of ‘goodwill’ has begun to shift…..It was evident as he and his sister were planning Bensch’s fate in case ‘things’ would not go Kiki’s way.
So, yes, Hoolian may plunge into murky waters, as he has swum through them in the past. ‘Tis in his DNA….as it is in Ava’s.

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.
