Nancy Lee Grahn Kicks-Off Her 25th Year as General Hospital’s Alexis; Thanks Fans & Shares: “What a Ride”
She’s one of the best of the best! And on Saturday, Nancy Lee Grahn acknowledged the start of her 25th year as Alexis Davis on ABC’s General Hospital.
Nancy, who daytime fans first loved on One Life to Live and then Santa Barbara, came to Port Charles and quickly became one of its leading mainstays.
On Twitter, marking the occasion, Nancy thanked her fans with this: “Wow! I start my 25th year on @generalhospital today. What a ride. It’s been one of my greatest pleasures to be connected to & supported by such a beautiful, loving, loyal #gh audience. We are and have always been in this together. I hope you can feel my most sincere virtual hug.”
Currently in story, Alexis just lost the new love of her life Neil and on Friday’s episode of GH, Alexis was blamed for his death by Neil’s brother when she tried to attend his memorial service. Later, she landed at the Floating Rib with Valentin – but when he got into it with Ned and stepped outside, Alexis ordered a drink. Not a good sign for this recovering alcoholic, and all this came on the heels of Alexis learning she has osteoporosis.
Through the years, story after story, beat after beat, we are lucky to have Nancy on our screens with her consistently riveting and honest performances.
What has been your favorite Alexis storyline through the years? And … make sure to wish Nancy a ‘happy 25th’ via the comment section below.
I love Nancy Lee and her stories are usually interesting and inspiring. More women should have her talent, intelligence and integrity especially the ones that are so critical of her.
Violet…I agree with you. I just wish she could have some happiness and fun like when she first came to Port Charles. Loved her stories back then with Ned and Jax. But it seems the writers and/or her unconscious demons from the past won’t leave her alone these last few years. And losing her ability to practice law was way too harsh.

You are right on all counts.
Who was the greyish hair man talking to Alexis?…i think they should keep him…he and Alexis might work???
He’s Neil’s brother the man who lambasted her at the memorial service and said it was her fault His brother had died… It’s not a couple I’d prefer to see…
I like Dante’s doctor better. Hope he comes back with him. I think he and Alexis could be a good match.
I guess Iam replying to my own comment concerning Dante’s Dr I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing the other day as he professed his undying love to Dr O. Then she calls him a pig after he leaves the room? What was that about? I was hoping he would be coming home with Dante, but did not have a real idea in what capacity. I hope he will go after Peter even if it is to please his Liesel.
Happy 25th anniversary Nancy, love Alexis, and I liked her w/ Neil, to bad he was killed off, still Alexis will get through this, and find love again.
Congratulations
I just don’t see how any one… who’s a parent… can stomach this – she kowtows wilts AND is the lamest at doling out advice… save for; be a woman’ advocate. FINE ALL GOOD and WELL
w/Sam : how can she keep a straight face as Sam acts like the parent and not the other way around. I hate the way Sam treats Julian. perhaps it’s Alexis AWE how Sam wears skin tight form fitting leather spanks with stilleto. Sam is soooo driven, right?
w/Kristina : oh god… what an insult the debacle Kristina went over the cliff over Shiloh. so easily caught. she easily had it her way… with no guidance from Alexis at all.
w/Molly : how dare this child speak so willfully @. she gets on my every last nerve.
None of her daughters register !?!? Alexis black robe antics and penchant for lose wanton
self indulgent trifling behaviors have clearly caught up. I was OVER her with Julian.
this time around, with Neil. She had a let… pass go. What does @GH do… kill him off
UNLESS : why bring his brother back?
about the only real connect she has… is w/Diane
her alcoholism after her break up with Julian… landed her back on the playing field. God who doesn’t wish it was Melody Thomas Scott we witness
at last… a relationship … w/Neil landed her back on the playing field.
it always got wearying , at least when she was a lawyer… kvetching out her moral judgment, hence her black robe , fittings, at our expense.
SHE NEEDS to let up on Valentin… get back that family vibe.. she does it for Sonny
I liked for a long while.. how she was “able” to move on without Julian… god it was supposed to still be going on w/Kim.
FAN more alike than naught ; bought in to Alexis and Neil… yes i’m touting how smoldering it was simmer time… and BAM ! just like that snuffed out
I still remember, you, from Santa Barbara… emmied to boot. so you have left an impression… meh on the writing… especially with the overkill on your daughters… dag! give this hussied out to the gill A MAN A WHAT?
I always liked her with Ned.
johnny
I do too, but Iam afraid they will make a drunken mistake that they will both regret. As we know Soaps keep nothing hidden.
No one dislikes the actress she is always on top of her game! I can’t watch her because she can’t stop with the politics day and night she is at it! For gosh sakes can we not live in peace do you have to bring politics in sports soaps movies ?? Can’t you give us one bloody moment that we can breathe and enjoy the moment ?? That is my only gripe leave me alone let me enjoy one minute!
You’re right, Kay—Nancy is one skilled thespian. I just wish TPTB would give Alexis the life she deserves with the right guy, and makebit last with or without flaws. Instead of putting the character on the right track, they consistently lead her to the top of the proverbial precipice to then have her fall, one way or another. Enough with the drinking already. We’ve visited this scene too many times.. .. It has lost its luster!!
PS—I have learned to separate the actresses/actors from the characters. And, I do not ever read or listen to anyone who is ill-informed or uneducated in politics, who act all knowing and pretentious. Most Americans don’t even know their own history, thus, how can we expect them to know global history? —-so, my dear Kay, what’s the point?
Nonetheless, I understand your position.
What a ride, indeed. Alexis is one of those characters who is stuck in a vicious circle—-neither here nor there—-keeps going—one mistake after another—changes men as often as changing her nether-garments and always ends up in the same rut ( pardon the pun), the bottle. No end and no beginning. As boring as watching Martha Stewart (for me, at least).

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.
