Say what you will of Katie Couric, but General Hospital fans, she delivered an extra special episode honoring the 50th episode of the soap on yesterday’s edition of her syndicated talker, KATIE!  Now, while some may say there was too much Katie throughout, after all it is her show!

But what an amazing array of interviews and guests and segments! From having Jason Thompson (Patrick) co-host with her, to bringing on the legendary trio of Tony Geary (Luke), Genie Francis (Laura) and Kin Shriner (Scott), to Maurice Benard’s (Sonny) touching interview, to Jack Wagner’s (Frisco) emotionally re-telling the story of meeting his long lost daughter for the first time, to having everyone in the audience be superfans of GH and then three of them getting to play a trivia game with Kelly Monaco (Sam), Finola Hughes (Anna)  and Wagner, to the fantastic clip packages throughout, to Rick Springfield (Noah) performing, there was something for every one.  And yes, Katie gets into the action when tapes a scene on GH with Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) and Sonya Eddy (Epiphany), that will air on GH shortly!

Watch the entire episode after the jump of Couric’s GH extravaganza, and let us know what was your favorite part of the episode!

Awesome stuff, this is great.

Can`t watch it in Germany 🙁

Thats tough, i remeber that from when i lived there, that was before the internet, cant you watch it on you tube there are awesome people who post it everyday , also hotspot shield is a free service and it changes your ip to american

Hi Kyla, thanks, I have tried a couple of these proxy servers, but none have worked for me. I`ll try the one you mentioned, if it doesn`t work I`ll try YT.
Where did you live in Germany?

Awesome . Great show. I been watching G H since 1963.

i hate to say this but i enjoyed katie couric with gh stars. she was funny perky and a joy to watch katie. i was a big fan pf katie couric on the today show. then i really got sick and tired of her. i thought getting her own daytime talk show will kill and cancel general hospital. when the revolution got cancelled. gh got renewed. by the way the revolution was a horrible show. katie got renewed for a second season good for you katie. i will start watching katie more now. she loves her soap stars. gh needs to get renewed for 3 years now. do it abc now.

I really had to push to get past my initial feeling of ick… because I wanted to see my GH cast!!! I would have liked to have them interviewed and to have the interviewer care what they were saying… but the show is called Katie and that is who it’s all about 200% of the time. I hope she listens and asks questions on the 20 20 show.

To the GH cast members who participated… thank you and I wish we could have heard more from you! Thank you for being the best cast on the best show!!! Congratulations GH!!!

IT WAS GOOD!

THANKS KATIE!!

Kill me now, I’ve gone to heaven hearing Jack Wagner sing “All I need” on today’s show!!!!

When was this on Katie’s show? She found a way to get us viewers to watch her show, invite the cast of our Beloved General Hospital….

That’s business.

So when was it on Katie’s show?

Please bring the old music back & Genie I love you but who is choosing your wardrobe?

Michael, thank you for sharing this video on your webpage. I live in South Florida and our ABC affiliate chose to pre-empt Katie for their own local weather forecasting because of some thunderstorms. Please, give me a break. Thanks again Michael.

For once I wish I’d watched KATIE. If I’d known it was in honor of GH I would have lifted my ABC ban.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

Published

on

By

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.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 6
Sonny makes a stunning announcement. Serena makes her move. Willow faces a new threat. Isaiah takes the stand. Lucy questions Laura.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7
Josslyn is taken aback. Ava courts a new ally. Jordan and Anna catch up. Isaiah vents to Lucas and Elizabeth. Michael questions Jacinda.

Check out the latest ABC promo for General Hospital entitled, “What Did You Do?” below.

Now weigh-in: Do you think GH is about to pair Serena with Michael? Is it curtains for Jacinda? Can anyone stop Willow once and for all, or make her pay for her crimes? What will Jason do without Sonny and the mob? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Published

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.
