If you are watching today’s episode of General Hospital’s 50th anniversary celebration, you know that it’s time for the festivities to begin for the highly-anticipated long-awaited Nurses’ Ball to get underway for the citizens of Port Charles and the millions of fans who will be watching who are part of the celebration for GH’s huge milestone!

On-Air On-Soaps Michael Fairman received a very special invitation from General Hospital and executive producer, Frank Valentini to be part of the on-camera red carpet festivities, but just how would he end up participating? And where would he be? And what would he actually have to do?  Those were the questions Michael wanted to know, when he showed up on this very special tape day!

And in this exclusive behind-the-scenes look of the red carpet event at the Nurses’ Ball, Fairman filed this video report, which includes his thoughts on trying to figure out what to do with a camera!  Oh yes …  he played a paparazzi, or thought he did!  And, On-Air On-Soaps had a prime position to all the red carpet walks, the dresses, and the drama of the gala event!

Check it out after the jump, in our very special GH 50 anniversary nod to fans of On-Air On-Soaps and the iconic soap!

Michael, you did great! “Here comes a fake couple” LOL! Thanks for sharing!

Love It!! So glad Michael Fairman got to participate in the GH Nurses Ball for the 50 th Anninversary of GH!!
Gonna watch the episode again tonite with my daughter to make sure I see Michael!!!

michael you are hilarious!

Yes, I saw you! Just wanted to see more of you!! I know you were thrilled to be there. What a nice treat!!

This is hilarious,Michael. We couldn’t tell if your camera was working or not. You are a good sport to inflick this on yourself. Thought the red carpet was a great idea. You might want to go to a camera store so you’ll know where the flash is next time. Funny!..

I think you did a good job especially loved the interview, looking good!

Loved the red carpet! Really loved Jack Wagner’s song-he still can sing it! GH the way it was, wish all the oldies could stay. It’s been great. Love all the extras and their real life parts that are with the soap genre.

The nurses ball had its corny moments but in a fun way…disappointed not seeing Audrey there with Liz…almost forgot JW could sing…i still think Robin will show up but itll be Britt pulling a Duke/Faison, i think,thanks to her Dr. Evil mother…who is Dr. Os husband anyway…was her husband Colonel Klink? lol And as for you Micheal F. you shouldve told us sooner so id pay attention more to the camera people lol but ill watch again on soapnet! I always do when i miss something lol

Wait just a minute Micheal Fairmen! Your cameo wasnt the big suprise at that nurses ball was it? What a letdown! Just kidding there pal…i love to joke around! LMAO!!!

P.S. would love it Micheal if you make another cameo…as Dr.Os evil husband and papa of Dr. Britch! That would be hilarious! LMAO!!!

Got to watch it again Micheal…my sister taped it…you did a great job as a reporter and you looked right at home. You should do more cameos on all the soaps(maybe as a photographer at a soap couples wedding? Y&R shouldve had you be a photorapher or a reporter doing a cover story on Victors and Nikkis wedding) Not that silly cameo suggestion i was joking about as Dr.Os hubby and Britts father! but im serious about the other suggestions i just made.

Michael! You look fabulous darling on the carpet! Charming and adorable..put a smile on my face 😉

Welcome, Michael Fairman, once again, to The Red Carpet and to the 2013 Nurses’ Ball! You were totally in your element.

Love it!!! You were great! Your expressions were priceless!!! Hope you had fun!!! So glad they let you do that!

You are so lucky and you did a great job, thanks for sharing. OXOX

0ooops !! Michael, forgot to put batteries in the camera .. 🙂

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

By

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.
