Well, Mr. Mathison doesn’t seem to have trouble finding work. I just wish it hadn’t been as Drew. Billy Miller is just too unique (I fully admit my bias) to be replaced. I know many disagree but the current Billy Abbott situation on Y&R is similarly tragic. The character has none of the playful, good-hearted, flaky Billy we loved. Those are notes Jason Thompson just hasn’t been able to play. And it looks like the same will happen here. Drew will become a mannequinish, stock soap character that we mostly left behind in the 60s.
Well said Soaphound, I fully agree! And I have too admit to my bias as well. I’m not really watching GH at this particular time, but I really hope that Billy Miller comes back to daytime TV soon. It doesn’t really matter which soap that it is, I would just like to see him back…
Spot on assessment!!! I get the same vibe as you. Especially that last sentence.
He seems like such a nice person.Love all his Halllmark movies and his latest A Kindhearted Christmas on GAC family. Give him some time at GH to get his bearings.
We really should give the guy a chance to make the character his. Yes, there is only one Billy Miller, but he has moved on to other things. I totally agree about the character of Billy on Y&R.
I respect his hustle. As Soaphound said, he “doesn’t seem to have trouble finding work.” He seems like a nice person too.
Great interview, Michael. Really enjoyed it. And I miss Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family, which Cameron Mathison co-hosted.
Iam trying to get used to new Drew. Iam liking him with little Scout and at least we have a new kitchen at the Qs, Thanks to him. Guess they thought that would be a good background for him, even his own Christmas tree. I could possibly get used to him and Sam as a couple. I don’t care for Dante with her

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.

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.

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.
