Ah more returns seem to be on the docket for the newly revived General Hospital! This past weekend, Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) took to her Facebook page to tout her very talented daughter’s band TRACTION after their fantastic performance in front of 250 plus strong in Los Angeles! Grahn let her followers know that Kelly Sullivan (Kate) and Lisa LoCicero (Olivia) showed up to watch the show, as well as Kin Shriner, who according to Grahn is also headed back to General Hospital to reprise the role of Scotty Baldwin!
Grahn posted the following message, “Kate’s band “TRACTION” played 2nite for 250 ppl. Kelly Sullivan came with an insanely cute beau along with Lisa LoCicero and Kin Shriner who’s on his way back to General HOTpital.” So what do you think of a return by Kin? How do you see him fitting into the canvas? We have our thoughts, you tell us yours!

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.

I hope not, I never could stand Scotty
well if Scotty is coming back… is it for Robin’s funeral or because Heather is is coming back, or maybe Laura or Lucy?
Fans I am beginning to get real nervous. Every soap that was in trouble or was on the verge of cancellation started bringing people back. So my question to all of you out there is this a good thing or the beginning of the end?
That can’t afford all this coming back for a genre who claims they have to keep COST down. These legacy actor’s to these shows cost money. Trust me they know the signifciance they play is n the show’s History. This is around character number 10 coming back, along with the added OLTL star’s. No way can they afford this. Something is going on……..
Love it! More legacy characters returning! GH is on FIRE!!!
I have always loved Kin as Scott(y) Baldwin..I would love him to come back..heck, bring Jackie Zeman back to! Bring GH back to the 80’s! lol
I love Jackie and I met her once and she was the MOST gracious. But, have U seen Jacklyn lately? She is not camera ready anymore. She had some bad surgery and her face is hooked up. Unlike Monica, who looks excellent as if she aged like that, Jackie Zeman wasn’t so lucky with her surgent. For those reasons, I doubt she will be asked back, bc certainly, that could have her back from time to time bc Carly does need her mother sometime, huh?
Where on earth do they say Boobie is on the show anyway?
WHATS GOING ON HERE?maybe the one life to live h8ters are getting revenge,lol.I forgot where I saw a picture of jackie and she did look like her skin was pulled over her face real tight ,did not look good.there is such a thing as running out of skin to pull,hell, the tear ducks are probably on the top of there heads,can you imagine where joan rivers are ,long gone by now.the thought of not being able to move your lips(lisa rinna)or you cant move your face,these people are addicted to plastic surgery ,wish I had that kind of money.Id move to wine country and grow grapes,close to the ocean.
Its a shame. Jackie Zeman is a great actress, natural like, like Jane Elliot, Leslie Charleston, etc…Too bad she went over board w/the plastic surgery. Think she aired about 3 yrs ago or so. When you don’t look like yourself anymore it’s too much.
Great- now bring back Jacklyn Zeman. Zeman is a GH legend- her scenes with Carly (then played by Sarah Brown- now Madison on Days) were riveting and memorable, all these years later- bring back Zeman!!
I remember seeing scotty years ago with Lee Baldwin who played his father……He was alway’s getting into some kind of trouble…..Miss Bobby Spencer………What happen to Monica Quatermaine????? Did not watch GH for a while…..But back watching GH now…Trying to get familiar with all the new faces… It was smokin today… What do you think about Maxie???????? she said it was all her fault about Robin’s death…And Blair was WONDERFUL today.. So much EMOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She made me cry… Nt. Tues. is the day for Michael Easton’s arrival on GH!!!!!!!!On 3/13… More good stories to come for John McBain (M. Easton) on GH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!
bring laura back with you.
I’m so excited that Kin Shriner is coming back !!!!!!
Unfortunately JZ did what so many do of women in showbiz they start messing with nature that is the only reason I can figure it out Laura Wright made the comment ever since she took over the role of Carly she did not work with JZ at all
But Laura has worked with Jackie since she has been on GH. I remember it maybe over a year ago, or last year. It was in the hospital. She came up out of the blue. I remember it well bc I was looking for the chemistry of mother daughter like Bobby had with Sarah and Tamara. It was such a short scene (Bobby was at work) that I couldn’t read anything into it.
Bringing Scotty back is a good thing for Port Charles and stirring up a lot of trouble which will make it more interesting and sitting on the edge. Hooray hope it happens!!
I’ll be thrilled to see him. I wish he would bring GF back with him, but I have a feeling that she will come much later. In the meantime, he can explain what happened after Scott got on the plane with Laura! lol
They should bring JZ/Bobbie back. Plastic surgery is neither here nor there. She is beloved by long term fans and so is her character. And Lucas should come back with her. Luke needs some centering/grounding.
I heard they are looking for a lucus so thats a good thing, my wish list is for genie francis, and not for a few days but to stay bobbie to.
Thats awesome that Kin (Scott) is returning. He will fit back in perfect. Especially with scenes of him & Luke ! Any chance of his daughter Serena coming back as well ? Would love to see Lucy & Kevin return too ! Oh & with Heather returning, Scott will surely be welcomed back. Be like the old days with Scott & Heather. Just have to add Laura next !
