General Hospital

Looky who was back on the set of General Hospital!
According to a tweet with a photo from executive producer, Frank Valentini, fan favorites Kimberly McCullough (Robin) and Brooklyn Rae Silzer (Emma) were back on set filming new episodes. Could it be that Emma and Robin are back for the annual Nurses’ Ball?
Valentini tweeted, “Late night shenanigans with these two beauties. #GH #Wrappizza”
Hopefully this means that Brooklyn will be performing in a new production number and Kimberly will be making a moving speech for the annual Port Charles gala.
So, glad to hear there will be some Robin and Emma on the way? No dates yet as to when they will air, but we would expect its sometime in May.
Come on back–anytime! Always lovely to see them both.
Wish they would stay on GH both are great assets. Love ❤️
Indeed great to see them both, but they’re just part of the spinning revolving doors at GH, unfortunately. Hilary B. Smith came on the show, many of us hoping he’d be the new D.A. She played Valentin’s attorney for several days and that was it.
Now Jax it back, but he’s heading out the door again, too. Rather than having some talent and great characters roles like these two could play, ABC is paying the girl from Turkey and Amy the gossipy nurse and…. Good grief. Disappointing.
I look forward to seeing these two beauties. I am sad to lose Jane Elliott, but I am happy her exit story is moving along. I feel that the network serials (all 4) need to speed up their story telling to compete with steaming services I love that I can find so many favorite old shows to stream. I only watch GH and if story drags I can and do not watch for two weeks at times. I read the synopsis and decide what I want to watch.
Wouldn’t it be great if they would stream our serials episodes from years past. Someone run with this idea.
Great post. Would love to stream Port Charles, in particular. The book-format would make it the best candidate to stream
This is good news BUT…GH has been nearly unwatchable lately. I love GH; GH is my soap and I have watched for decades. They have the best cast in daytime. However the current writing team may be the worst in the history of the show. Poor Jane Elliot’s exit story as Tracy is a contrived abomination. The usual reliable casting director has bombed big time with the actress playing the Turkish woman. I have never seen such an abysmal performance on a soap. Practically all stories are re-written on the fly when major inconsistencies are revealed. Follow through on story arcs is willy-nilly. A lot of dialogue is just plain awful. Any time you write a scene where a major talent like Michael Easton talks to a lizard you should be embarrassed. So many painful non-stories are being dragged out that it is a trial to watch and endure. I tune in every day to see these amazing actors and also out of loyalty and habit. Mostly I do not enjoy what I am seeing. Again, I say all this because I am a major fan of the show and want it to thrive and continue into the future. Please somebody, step in and fix this mess!
Yeah, I basically agree. I have watched “GH” off and on since 1980. This current batch of writers just don’t have what it takes. Although there are some good individual moments here and there, overall the show is boring.
Completely agree Mister Media…. THE WRITING IS ATROCIOUS ‼️‼️‼️
From your lips….
Jane’s exit story is awful, unbearable to watch and I am sorry, the Turkish woman creeps me out. I can’t watch it! I don’t care about the woman, her child, etc. I care about the Quartermaine’s. The Q’s could banter and squabble for the next month, all during Jane’s exit, and I would enjoy that, welcome that, instead of this atrocious story arc.
Saaaaameeera has uncanny resemblance to Octomom, the personality of a dead log and only whispers her lines.
I’m all for more Qs. But she’s a Firm No.
“Contrived abomination ” pretty much says it all, Mister Media!!!! And that goes far beyond just Tracy’s swansong story! Quite honestly, watching Michael Easton’s Finn romancing his “service lizard” would be more exciting than most of the hum-drum happenings occurring in Port Charles these days….particularly the arrival of that not-so “Turkish Delight,” Samira, or as I prefer to call her, “Sabs the Second!”
I figured they would be back for the NB. If Kim wanted to return full time they should just recast Patrick. JT will NEVER leave Y&R for GH!
I love Jason Thompson on Y&R, major on-screen chemistry with Gina Tognoni (Phyllis). I only watch the show in anticipation of their scenes, and Eileen Davidson (Ashley).
Jason is fitting in well there. Not a fan of him and Phyllis, though.
Always welcome. Robin is the de facto heart and soul of the show.
Always happy to have them back on the scene!
This return has to be for the Ball. I have always loved watching that in the years they did it. All the performances are always so good and it brings a change of pace to the show which I also like. Looking forward to this year to see what Lucy puts together!!!
Agreed, any excuse for more Lucy Coe!
Too bad Patrick’s not with ’em.
He is in Genoa City romancing Kelly Cramer from Llanview! Lol
Been watching GH for years and I live the show. But I’ve been really disappointed lately. The Nelle kidney story was silly. Why would Jax go to Frank Benson for a kidney?? Crazy!!
And it still doesn’t explain why Jake was taken by Helena-or how- if they thought Jake was the donor all these years, why would Jax’s seek out Frank Benson– unless he sought him out before Jake die, yet when Jake died wouldn’t Jax’s say– hey I already got a kidney–how does Jake fit into the Jax’s buying a kidney story– the two story threads do not mesh– It would have made more sense if Jerry Jack’s was involved- that Jax’s went to him for a kidney– at least Jerry and Helena have a connection — they fake Jake’s death, kidnap him for whatever reason they still haven’t said– and substitute Nelle’s kidney for what everyone thought was Jake’s– but who were these doctors and how was this switch was made, is still unclear— as you said this story line is plain crazy
SO stupid and the whole rewrite of how Carly thought the kidney came from Jake Webber. Just SO stupid.
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING BOTH OF THEM….GH NEEDS SOME NEW BETTER TALES SO LETS USE THESE TWO….
I’m happy to see that GH characters are being brought back…if not permanently then at least more so than we’ve had in recent years. Jax, Bobby, Scott, Lucy, Robin, Ned, Olivia Jerome…I’d like to see them all on contract but I know that’s not going to happen. So it’s fun and welcome whenever any of these “peeps” pop up in town. It adds to the continuity and just as in life, friends and family come and go. I love “returns”. I’d STILL like to see AJ brought back…I really don’t care what lame excuse they invent. Hmph! 🙂
Love Emma-Robin not so much!
Agreed, love little Emma Drake. Brooklyn could teach a few of the adult actors a few tricks of the trade; she’s got more talent than some of the adults on the show.
Watching a movie with Tyler Christopher /Nick I absolutely loathe what they have done to long time veterans not interested in this show do not care if our network ever picks abc up again ! FV treats the oldies like crap but we get non stop air time from his buddies who over act on every turn
Can’t wait to see them!
Glad to hear that they are returning. I think everyone needs to lay off on the criticism of the writers. Great actors cannot just look at the screen and get nominated or even win an Emmy without the words of the writing team. And GH continues to dominate the top Emmy nominations with wins in the past few years. My Emmy picks:
Best Drama: B&B (will win) or GH (should win)
Best Actor: Senior Steal Peter Bergman (Y&R) or Scott Clifton (B&B)
Actress: Nancy Lee Grahn or Laura Wright from GH (toss it up) – Only Gina Tognoni (Y&R) could steal it.
Supporting Actor: Chad Duel (GH)
Supporting Actress: Finola Hughes (GH)
Younger Actor: Bryan Craig (GH)
Younger Actress: Chloe Lanier or Lexi Ainsworth (GH) toss it up
Writing: B&B or GH
All we have left of GH is a few good scenes here and there so I’m sure KMc and Brooklyn will supply us with some of those. The good part is I have lots of time on my hands to do other things besides trying to figure out what the story is that they’re trying to write on this show.
Off topic, but is Michael Fairman okay? There hasn’t been a new news post in six days. I hope he’s alright.
Haha…I was wondering what was going on, too! I was thinking he was concentrating on his newfound music career!

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.
