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.

I can’t wait for Michelle Stafford to start airing regularly on GH.However i’m wondering where we will see Nina next and who she interacts with first.Plus Nina may know Silas is in Port Charles but not he’s involved in someone.So Nina could think she’ll just show up in town and then she and Silas will reunite.However she might be in for a rude awakening.Plus if she sees Silas with Danny she might mistakenly assume he’s Silas’s son.
Nina must know he is in PC if she’s the one who sent those flowers unless her mother sent them to start trouble? Just wondering…i like this storyline so far!!!
I dont know, Madeline did everything to keep Silas from Nina.
I’m sure Nina is the one who sent Silas the flowers but she may not know yet that he’s in a relationship with Sam.So Nina might be thinking that Silas has been waiting for her all these years to wake up but she may not yet know what her mom did to keep Silas away from her or even that she tried to frame him.
Im more wondering how Nina found out where Silas is…im sure her mother wouldnt tell her and made certain those taking care of her wouldnt say anything…unless Nina used inheritance money to hire a private investigator…and why wouldnt she just go to PC if she still loves him…hope we get answers soon!!!
Nina may have used the internet to find out where Silas is living and working now.So that could explain how Nina knew to send the flowers to General Hospital.As for why Nina hasn’t gone to Port Charles yet maybe she’s not healthy enough yet and wants to be 100% for when Silas sees her again.Plus she may have other things to deal with first.I also hope we get some answers involving Nina quickly too.Plus i still don’t think it was a coincidence that she was in the same hospital that Victor took Robin to.If Victor knew Dr.Obrecht in the past maybe he also knew her sister Madeline.
I don’t think any thing… or one… can come between Silas and Sam. they just click
perhaps it’s that dark hair his blue eyes her dark eyes… tantalizing features
I don’t think they’re exciting….. just a clear bond that , started @Port Charles… and here they are once again…. full circle, that still works…. @GH
I don’t see MS’ Nina…. wanting Silas back…. exact some revenge for 20+ years lost… especially if there was a child involved…. even IF, she SHOULD blame Madeliene.
currently, I don’t see a man who is able…. LOL…. to meet Michelle Stafford… on the canvas… i’ve already posted Franco…. Julian and Nina would sizzle with through the roof sexuality… (fans are right now…. happy that Alexis is getting something). I forgot about Patrick…. (if the child dies) and he’s willing to player and MOVE and venture in to long forgotten Dr. Drake of ole. a new beginning.
I still think.. they should rehire… Brandon Barash… and or Ingo Rademacher….
Johnny and Jax.
after yesterdays ep : Jim H… does it seem like Ava is done? now that Carly and Franco know… “she” killed Connie? is this paving the way for MS to move in… and Maura West’ Ava is now on the way out? seems like it to me… why would Carly and Franco keep this quiet.
I think the GH production… will let Ava go… seeing as two powerhouse women… vying for so little.. is a bit much…. cause they just can’t seem to let go of Carly and Franco…to this day… I still think they’ve been written in to a corner
wanted to add : now that Julian made his big speech to his family that he’s now legit and out of the “business”…. another reason that ava is expendable? I certainly want her…. why would any one on the canvas save her now?
Ava could be pregnant with Sonnys child…also i think Nina and Sonny will eventually hook up!!!
IMAGINE : if Carly and Franco left Port Charles for Hollywood
and wham bam… thank you sam… GH production
HIRE ! ex’s Johnny and Jax to mega watt amp up EVERYTHING
Thanks for your latest reply Andrew…i was thinking that too about Nina…maybe not well enough to travel…also thanks for reminding me about the part about Nina in the hospital where Victor took Robin…i still think Nathans Victors son with Dr.O but he also might have slept with Madeline too making Nina also a Cassidine…just a thought!!!
She’ll be bad…like most of GHs characters…lol…some dont like this storyline from some posts ive read but im enjoying it…it kind of reminds me of the mystery stories i enjoyed on Edge Of Night…still liked M.E. as John Mcbain better and they couldve still down the same storyline…yeah, i know why he has to play Silas…anyway im looking forward to seeing this story unfold…its GHs most interesting current storyline…imo!!!
I liked Spin and Ellie’s brief return…its nice to see them…and it was a much welcome suprise…like in the old days without spoilers that ruin the supsense!!!
so very true !! it was a very nice surpirse.
me too, I have enjoyed this couple allot. I wish they both can return permanently!
I agree, jimh. GH is really great about pulling off these surprises.
Hey jimh…
I agree. Though I love Michael Easton, and I’m glad he’s on GH (and hope he stays) I too liked his John McBain better. Don’t know why that is…LOL…as a matter of fact I can say that about all three…Todd vs Franco, Starr vs Kiki and John vs.Silas. Maybe it’s because in a sense they’re not playing characters THAT different then they were before…so somehow it doesn’t seem authentic. Dunno.
And though I didn’t finish watching yesterday’s episode yet I did see Spinelli. Would be nice if he were back on the canvas though I know he has no plans to do so.
And yes, it is fun to not have spoilers…(thought I always look!) 😉 but I knew as soon as Carly said she knew someone who could crack AJ’s phone that she’d be going to Spinelli…so I wasn’t surprised.
I love the interaction between Ellie and Franco.Roger and Emily work well together.
rebecca1…i didnt pay close attention to what Carly said( i get so many home distractions…my life is a soap…lol) otherwise i might have figured that out about Spin but im glad i didnt because id rather be suprised…Like M.E. as John better because he was more interesting as a dark brooding cop which he is better suited at playin than as a doc…jmo!!!
Tim, i agree with you…Franco and Ellie did have great interaction scenes together…im not much of a Carly/Franco fan but they did work better together in those scenes with Spinneli and Ellie…now if Carly/Franco could be written and have that same chemistry with other characters on the show i might change my opinion about them for the better!!!
I thought baby Georgia looked like pebbles from the flinstones.
I was more happy and interested in seeing Ellie… and she still that draw… with me in any case.
I agree, McBain could have been a PC cop under a different name. They need help with officers like Dumbnte and James “The Wooden Soldier” solving crimes!
Funny names…lol…maybe next year Mac can use a wooden Nathan in his act now that his wooden puppet has been destroyed…you think Epiphany could get arrested for destruction of someone elses property!!!
i see her as a bad girl with a heart, can’t wait to see her interact with Maura West, that will be epic. hope she gets intergrated with other characters, like Anna’s Finola Hughes, since they are friends in real life, and well, she needs a strong leading men, sorry but Silas doesn’t make any sense with her, but maybe i’ll be surprise, if the story is done right . if Madeline was Monicas sister that would of been a better fit then putting her with what has now turned into a cartoon character DR.O.
I also can’t wait for Maura and Michelle to be in scenes together on GH.I think they worked together on Y&R but i think that was a disaster.So this could be very different than that.As for romantic possibilities for Nina she may want Silas back but that doesn’t mean the show won’t test her with other male characters on the show for the future.So besides Silas there’s Sonny,Julian,Ric,Patrick and others for Nina.
When it was announced Donna M. was joining the show i wrote that i was hoping Madeline and Monica would be sisters…maybe faternal twins…Donna and Leslie C. had played sisters on daytimes Love Is A Many Splendored Thing and i thought it would be great seeing them act together again…since Monica was in an orphanage i still hope they could still be sisters…Maybe Maddie and Monicas mother kept one daughter Maddie and put Monica up for adoption because she was a single mom and couldnt afford to raise both girls…several years later their mother met and married Dr.Os father and had her…making Dr.O and Maddie half sisters…maybe Maddie will need medical treatments that will involve Monica and thats when theyll learn they are sisters…also i like to think maybe Monicas old boyfriend was Maddies husband James Reeves giving them another connection…when they played sisters on that other soap they were in a love triangle involving the same man and so my idea having had them involved with James would make this a great nod to their past roles together on LIAMST!!!(i am a fan of KG(Dr.O) but i do wish theyd write her less cartoonish and violent…she is such a great talent…
Michelle needs someone stronger than Silas. Maybe Patrick?
this would be the best time… to give Jason Thompson… some fresh, new, meaty, material… to bring back his person… his personality… and steer away from… scrubs….
I don’t see a lot of strong personalities to configure with, Michelle Stafford.
If Nina suffers side effects from being a coma for 20 years maybe Patrick treats her because he’s neurosurgeon.then slowly they could become friends and then maybe something romantic develops between them over time.However right now romance might be the farthest thing from Patrick’s mind.
She’s a great actress, so I’m looking forward to seeing how she does on GH. Should be fun when her and Maura West get to work together. Talk about two daytime heavyweights going toe to toe.
I’m looking forward to this too, they were great sparring partners on Y&R when Michelle played Phyllis and Maura played Diane, so this should be epic!
I didn’t like her as Phyllis and am not looking forward to seeing her on GH. Too many characters with too little time to fully invest in any of them.
I don’t care if Nina is good, bad or somewhere in the middle, as long as MS plays her differently than Phyllis– if I see Phyllis on the screen I am going to scream are you kidding me, are you kidding me, are you kidding me. ( Y&R fans know what that means)
Why would you expect that Mary RH three different characters all the same Maura West three different characters all the same. Just clear the building if they have Lucy Coe, Ava and Nina in the same scene. Over/acting at it’s finest! Less is more always has been always will be.
As long as Maura West stays Michelle’s addition will be Epic. Wonder if KKi is really Nina’s daughter with Silas?
I pray to God Kiki isnt connected to Nina. I hate the character of Kiki. The name, her off screen boyfriend, and her acting! Every scene she is in she has that look on her face like she walked into the GH communal shower and just saw Steve Hardy naked! Kiki, RIP!
Oye!
high 5
I’m so over… what the fascination is:
with KA’ Kiki
with CD’ Michael
together as a couple… is doubly dull
I can’t even go their…. with Michael and Kiki running ELQ
I always thought Kiki had a stuck up look on her face like some of the girls i went to high school with…i remember that look on many of them…lol
She a good actress so I am excited to see what her new role will bring. I have been really disappointed in the Nina Clay story line so far so I hope she’ll be able to bring something enduring to it. I like Madeline and Nathan but am having a really had time seeing Silas as the good guy in all this. I hope Michelle gets to interact with a lot of the cast.
Nina may want Silas back but he is also very much in love with Sam.
Michelle Stafford is a crown jewel and GH will love her. She will be bitchy like Phyllis but thats okay, Michelle plays that well. Y&R fans hated that Phyllis was always scheming and conniving her way in and out of peoples lives BUT these same fans are now kicking themselves because they are they same fans who bitch and moan that Phyllis is not on Y&R anymore and how could she ever sign with GH? Love it!
How long will it be before Sonny nails Nina Clay? Is anyone making book?
