He has been missed.

Very glad he is back !

0ooh good1 so- I won’t have him on my screen for uuumm 4 weeks?
I can hope now that Victor is back that Valentin will be the one
that Helena feared—
Valentin hasn’t even represented a true Cassadine-
He has been written as a cuddly teddy bear and not
as the most feared of them all.

Ahha! remember when Valentin 1st entered GH?
He was portrayed as a 1940’s villian-
dark black hair and mustache dressed in black
and evil menacing-looking-
but quickly turned into meek and mild teddy bear– lol

SuOOO
I remember first seeing Valentine on Cassadine Island. Gosh, he looked so violent, almost like a pirate.All the fighting with everyone, culminating with Valentine tossing Nicolas out the window, supposedly killing him. Those were fun times, huh?

Hi Violet 🙂
I know!!! I was excited to have an evil Cassadine back to
give me chills and thrills-
but that lasted about 30 days LOL
Writers did a 180 and turned Valentin into a wimpy Cassadine.
Now that Victor daddy is back- hopefully Valentin will
become the one Hellena feard or at least a true Cassadine–
(( stay well !)

Su000, I really didnt even notice Valentin’s absence! Victor IS a true, evil Cassidine! Valentin was supposed to be the worst of the worst Cassadines! I fear Epiphany more than I would ever fear Valentin. He is a bust! A wussy!

Hi Timmm-
It’s been a while 🙂
We were riped-off!
We were excited to have the most feared Cassidine on screen-
And were given a powderpuff pppfffttt!
I do hope that Victor and Valentin will give us some chills and thrills!
ooh shouldn’t Valentin be getting the Cassidine estate back?????
yes! Epiphany could take both Victor and Valentin down, no problem!!!
The writers need to wake up and give us some hardcore drama!
Take care be well 🙂

I’m glad he’s returning. There are several stories that could benefit from his superior sarcasm. And the battle with Victor Cassadine already needs resuscitation.

Soaphound
I never cared for he and Nina’s relationship, but like he and Anna together. Iam not crazy about the older Charlotte. She sure isn’t as bratty as the original.

Soaphound
Yes, no one can deliver such sarcasm as he does in such soft, sexy tones, and then be such a bastard. He’s really talented. No wonder Su likes him so much.

yes, he’s the man! I Remember not liking the character, all that changed I don’t Remember when, but he’s top dog in my book, love his pairing w/ Anna, glad he’s still a Cassadine, love his brotherly w/ Alexis, he’s just so cool, both a bad boy and good guy, take him any day over Sonny and Jason that’s for sure.

So do I , Aria! I agree with almost everything except: I liked him from the beginning , and I don’t like his pairing with Anna.

Agreed, Boop. Anna isn’t lucking out with anyone. I would love for Valentin to get back with Nina and kill this fascination with Sonny/Mike—-so sick of this continuous agony.
Looks like my guess that Willow is Nina’s ( possibly Nelle’s twin) may be true?
Willow fainted—so, she may have a blood disorder and is in need of blood ; asap—–a rare blood type, that is—-Enter Nina!!

Celia, my dear, you hit it right. I couldn’t figure out the point of Willow’s nose dive… figured it would expose Harmony. But Nina being the savior makes good sense. Oh this Sonny nonsense. Now he’s added “sudden screaming” to his acting repertoire, eh? Wow! Start engraving that Emmy. Can’t think of any other reason for this up and down silliness. Remember just a few years back when we could gaze upon Billy M.’s blue eyes, blonde hair, and deep seductive voice? Other than Chase, the only thing seducing me these days is the fast forward button.

Right there with you, Soaphound. Let’s get off the Sonny kick, for the love of Mike–LOL.—it is absolutely confounding to me—what compels the writers to put Sonny on such a pedestal. He is so passed his prime to be entangled in a “love triangle”—please!! Then, along comes the virago, Carly.
Nina is passive compared to that shrew—not that Nina is submissive, but going mano a mano or faccia a faccia with Carly is like “Jumping Into The Fire”— great Nilsson song, BTW. LOL
Billy, oh, my Billy—-Look who took his place. Makes me want to cry!!

Boop
OK, if you had a choice, who would you pick for Valentin? There aren’t many choices now. I can’t really see him romancing any of those GH ladies. Anyone care to chime in here?

wonderful news

Val the Bastard seems a little less like a bastard these days, but I’m guessing now that he’s back in town, he’s going to end up in the middle of whatever agenda his daddy Victor is up to. If they wanted to get all really soapy with the writing, they could always have him be the one who discovers who Esme’s parents are, which would of course lead to Val having a reconciliation of some sorts with his relatives Nikolas & Spencer.

Hell, maybe he’ll even take Nina back and keep her away from Sonny & his family. At least Nina functioned as a mostly rational human being when she was with Val.

the “prize” for – SEXUAL – frequency… senses whet , arousal ON

dag! Mr. James Patrick Stuart, is doing IT… keeps @General Hospital ALIVE

ARGH… just knowing that @Finola Hughes made it out of the stink on shit pairing w/Wes Ramsey and Michael Easton… WOW , now that the stench is clearing… Valentin is.

purr your kittens

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

Photo: ABC

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Photo: ABC

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

Cameron Mathison Previews New Game Show ‘Beat The Bridge’ (Promo)

As previously reported, Cameron Mathison (Drew, General Hospital) will be seen doing double duty this summer when he premieres in June as the host of Game Show Network’s Beat The Bridge.

Now, while Cameron will be the host with the most, that doesn’t mean he will stop playing GH’s Drew.  In fact, Mathison taped the game show in 2023, so it will now air for the first time in 2024.

Taking to his Instagram this week, Cameron shared his enthusiasm and some new hosting snaps, sharing, “Our newest game show host reporting for duty😎 Head over to the Game Show Network YouTube channel for your first look at the show and don’t miss Beat The Bridge premiering this June! I can’t wait for you guys to see this!”

In Beat The Bridge, an enormous interactive bridge dares players to cross by stepping on the right answers to challenging trivia questions. As they play, each steps forward and puts money in their team’s bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. Here’s the catch: the team gets to keep the money only if it can “beat the bridge” by returning one of its players back across before time expires.

Meanwhile, on GH, Drew and Nina (Cynthia Watros) recently had hate-sex. Do you think its a one-time deal? Where will Drew’s story take him next under new head writers, Patrick Mulcahey and Elizabeth Korte? Stay tuned.

Now below, check out the first promo for Beat The Bridge from the Game Show Network with you host, Cameron Mathison.  Then, let us know, will you be checking out the game this summer? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
