A Christmas Carol, is cool..
it’s never been left out of the Christmas line up.
Every Christmas ”Scrooge” appears, without fail.
but– Krampus, what about Krampus!! is cool also!
Michael Easton as Ebenezer Scrooge is right on..
None better to be chosen for the role.
GH having Easton as Scrooge; two thumbs up!!!

((((what would be awesome!! Krampus vs Scrooge!! lol

I believe I am really going to enjoy this! Looks like fun. Very happy Horwath is in there too, hope they interact, they are very entertaining togethee, bith very talented.

This should be fun. GH always does these special stand alone episodes very well. You can never go wrong with the Charles Dickens classic. My favorite versions were the TV movie where George C. Scott played Scrooge, and the animated Disney version “Mickey’s Christmas Carol”, a childhood favorite from growing up in the 80s that I still watch every holiday season to this day. Glad to see them give Michael Easton a feature episode. I saw Kathleen Gati and Eden McCoy raving about him as Scrooge on Twitter, so I’m really looking forward to this.

Looks good but shouldnt someone like Valentin been Scrooge…or even Sonny or Julian…using a villain would make more sense!!!

Valentin finds Windemere abandon and in ruins…Nicholas the ghost from Christmas Past…Nina the one he lost…Laura warning him he better change, showing him Lulu in an insane asylum after keeping her daughter from him…..Dr. Lisel as death showing Valentin his life in Hell…with Satan-Cassandra or

I’d be willing to show up and play myself to show old Val the Bastard what Hell is really like. And… based on rumors I’ve heard lately, he should also be visited by Dante as “The Ghost of Charlotte Ain’t Your Damn Kid and She Never Was”.

Dante as Dante’s inferno-lol

ATWTs did a wonderful Upstairs Downstairs period piece Christmas episode years ago…

This could be a reason for me to watch GH

Looks fun and lushly done. Looking forward to seeing it.

This blasted impeachment better not interrupt my soaps that day or I’ll be looking to give the boot to more than just one person. Leave our soaps alone!

I think you can safely assume that ImOrangement proceedings will not be taking place next week. The one thing you can depend on Congress always doing is taking off as many Helliday vacation days as they can get away with.

Now having said that, I really wish a supposed “General Hospital” Xmas episode wasn’t centered on the OLTL interlopers.

I am excited and looking forward to this episode THANKS GH writers!!!!

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.

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.
