General Hospital’s Briana Nicole Henry (Jordan) and her husband, Kris Bowers, both have contracted the coronavirus but have turned a corner and are beginning to feel better. This, according to a post on Monday from Briana on her Instagram account where she revealed the news; plus some heartfelt words.

Currently on GH , Jordan is in major story as she and Curtis (Donnell Turner) try to bring down Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).

In her post, the actress shared: “Kris and I have been recovering from Covid-19 since a few days after Thanksgiving. Although some symptoms linger, were both so grateful that it seems as though, unlike for over a million others, we will make a full and healthy recovery. I’ve stepped out of my home only to simply walk Marlee, which in turn has given me an opportunity to spend a lot of time inside my mind, observing different thoughts. was reminded of the strength of my body and it’s ability to heal.

I’ve been reminded what a sound choice it was to marry someone that is kind and thoughtful. I recommend picking a partner that is your best friend. On my worst days @krisbowersmusic reminded me of how beautiful he thought I was, how strong. Even through the mess I physically felt I was. I was reminded how kisses can make some of the most healing of medicines. I was touched by Marlee’s constant loyalty. My fevers, body aches, and sobs were never enough to make her not want to nestle into my stomach, assuring I had her warmth near. I was blown away by the amount of friends, colleagues, family, old friends, fans who reached out to remind us we were loved and being thought of. I will keep that love for a lonely day, one in which I’ve managed to convince myself otherwise. I was reminded that emotional healing is never ending. It is part of our lifes work. Be patient, you deserve at least that. I felt grateful for the safety of my home, knowing there are so many that would not/ do not have a safe place to rest their souls and heads every night to heal and rebuild. Grateful I could spend hours watching people in my field transcend my screen and find a way into my heart. But most importantly I feel so grateful for the people, front line workers, that are fighting tirelessly to get people to survive this insane pandemic we have all found ourselves so deeply in the throws of. Lastly. And please hear this. We are simply human. Vulnerable, just as anything else with the ability and certainty of death. Please wear a mask. Take the precautions that will ensure your safety as well as the safety of people you may never meet. We get through this by being selfless,kind and vigilant. Love y’all.”

There actually is no where else to comment on Tina and her dad Taggart, I think it is so selfish of Tina and her mother for not understanding his reasons for faking his death. It was mostly to keep them safe as it showed yesterday Renault ordering someone to grab Tina. Maybe if this happens again, she’ll get a clue.

It’s just too bad that this “reunion” had to play out with the temp recast Taggart. Let alone his first day on the job. Considering the Real Taggart (no pun intended) was on just yesterday, it’s hard to believe they couldn’t have taped one more day of scenes with him, and then made the switch, for whatever the reasons are there.

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, 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.
