Over the coronavirus pandemic General Hospital star Michael Easton (Hamilton Finn) has been answering several fans questions posted to him in a series of posts on his official Facebook page.

This week, Easton posted part two of his “Ask Me Anything”, and the fan favorite said he he will do his best to get through everyone’s questions and thanked those who made donations to America Health Care Workers and food banks during COVID-19.

In part two; questions ranged from: his connection with his on-screen brother played by Josh Swickard, if he would ever consider a return to Days of our Lives to reprise the role of Tanner Scofield (his first soap role), what is his favorite part of playing Hamilton Finn, and the casting of his on-screen daughter Violet played by Jophielle Love and more.

One question posed to Easton revolved around the just completed Daytime Emmys, when he was asked: “How many times have you submitted yourself for the Emmys? Some actors seem to put a real emphasis on being nominated but you don’t seem to care that much?”

Michael responded: “I’m pacing myself. I’ve maybe submitted three or four times in twenty years. It’s a lovely honor but not something I focus on. Everyday I try to give the best, most truthful performance I can and as I long as I can do that…I live with myself.”

Make sure to “Like” Michael’s official Facebook page, if you have not already to see more of his “Ask Me Anything’s”

So, what are your hopes for Hamilton Finn when Michael returns to taping new episodes of General Hospital in the future?

OH, this was just egging ME on… “ask me any thing” oh the cut ; burn ; not gonna

other than to say… Michael Easton and Roger Howarth are not General Hospital… PLease for the love of GOD throw in Chad Duell… and i’d be happiest

Mr. Fairman : two things please

1. cast turn . it just dawned on me… I loved ALL the “As the World Turn” visit (s)

I cried with Bob and Kim Hughes !!!! with all due respect… Kathryn Hayes… so glad you are doing well… gotta hand it to him… he’s still on all cylinder and just a dear dear man… Don Hastings . You two ARE Oakdale… where’s Babs !?!? where’s Margo!?!?

I got to see Lucinda Walsh !!!!! with the enchanting Lily !!!! GOD girl… TWO for TWO… Jon Hensley and Brian Bloom…. how did you do it and resist temptation… there was no other mother/daughter union that FIRED nonstop !!!! Oh it was pure magic just hearing every cast member just beam light up and RESPECT the beloved Elizabeth Hubbard. I DO !!!! I DO !!!! LOVE

Alas, MY FAVE’orite eppi… that wasn’t on this site… addressed.. but I found on YouTube wallah I wondered if he’d do one.. as it turns out… was my favorite one… w/Margo, Tom, and Craig

with all due respect this threesome.

Greg Marx
Hillary B. Smith
tadah !!!! the best of the best… “Craig” Scott Bryce !!!! I got my fix on him !

I loved when Hillary shared.. these three were just on from the get go .

you know… it’s really endearing… to hear from the men perspective… it’s not seen as bells and whistles ( daytime genre ) yet when you care about your craft… you rise above . it’s just amazing to hear from the actors… just how much work goes in to.. and the care of the production… of this magnitude… churning out more than one show per day !!!!

“As the World Turns” bar none… had it’s hey day !!!! Top Draw… Top echelon… perspective; you could do no better

Scott Bryce always awed me… he’s the definition of Shark… the dueling, the camaraderie, the drive he brought… if it was with Lucinda !!!! God sparing between these two… cajones ? you better believe it

I have always LOVED Craig and Margo mother… Lila … so beautiful!!! it was like he was always getting in trouble… and their was mom Lila… bereft , sure , that was her son. TEARS

and when Craig loved… HARD … with Betsy Stewart.. just to name a few

Scott Bryce : HIT EVERY NOTE

you see all the familiar “faces” and you well up.. for all the years they turned.

2. Mr. Fairman… IT WOULD BE GREAT … to see a ratings article … knowing that only @DAYS is churning out new material…. have we seen an increase ???? are we at least solidly in third place ? gawd ! past General Hospital… ? Days is GOOD… deserves to be seen, on air… and I happily will take 4th… last… ratings with a set audience is just that. just HOPING “my show” is being seen by MORE eyes

Michael : I wish you well

Thank you

I do not understand this new format, and maybe some others are having a problem also because I don’t see many of the old regulars.
This Is a comment for Michael Easton. I think when filming resumes the Covid 19 should be written in as a new SL and Dr. Finn should try to find a cure as infectious deseases is his specialty right?

Michael

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.

Take a look at the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3
Jason makes a sacrifice for Danny. Elizabeth becomes privy to a secret. Carly is touched. Valentin has a warning for Nina. Josslyn cautions Brennan.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 4
Brook Lynn and Chase celebrate a milestone. Trina gets an earful. Carly’s plan backfires. Curtis is skeptical. Michael is anxious about his family’s’ future.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5
Sonny wants answers. Ava is struck with inspiration. Curtis’ trial begins. Brook Lynn wrestles with a big decision. Lucy and Serena scheme.

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.
