As for Lucas, shortly after marrying Brad (Parry Shen), he has been gone from the canvas, but since Ryan Carnes is recurring with the show, he can pop up at any time, but he is definitely home for the holidays on the ABC soap opera?
So, are you glad to see Robin, Lucas, and Emma for the holidays on GH? Comment below!

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.

Sadly, I assume Ryan/Lucas’ appearance will be a simple family Xmas appearance and then he’ll disappear again. Hope I’m wrong…
Yes l am truly miss Robin and her hubby and child. Robin would be absolutely good to save Sonny from a lieing Nell so Carly and Sonny can keep their love alive they too are fantastic for each other as their Son Morgan comes home . Nell needs to be caught her cell smashed to pieces so she can’t hurt Sonny and Carly.Bring back all the fantastic couples again. Keep them l miss the original Jason too. Sam and Jason are perfect living family. Alexas needs to pull her shit together and get Julien out of her life. She belongs with Jax
Sherrie I’m with you 100%, Well said.
I Love and Miss All three of them.I wish They will come back more often.
It’ll be great to see both characters back. Ryan has been gone too long.
Can’t wait to see them back.
Who is Lucas…gone sooo long i forgot…his father in alll that has happened and not around…nephew Morgan maybe dead and a funeral and Lucas not around comforting Carly…recurring or not he should be around for some of those stories…and where is Mac?
I do like seeing the characters return every so often. It was good to see Maxies mom this week.. I don’t see her too often and forget her name…. but still good to see her
Her name is Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She and Frisco Jones (Jack Wagner) were a huge phenomena years ago.
Where is Mac…
I know, Jim. Mac (and his portrayer John York) were just tossed aside. Horrible. I LOVE Anna (and Finola) but as soon as she became police commissioner they demoted Mac and basically left him in the dust. Totally disrespectful to a charming actor/ character sho was on the show consistently for so many years.
Felicia Scorpio (Mac’s wife). Formerly Felicia Jones (Frisco (Jack Wagner)’s wife and the bio parents of Maxie)
I’ve been wondering that too! Mac was gone for a good while, but then resurfaced to team up with Anna when she was investigating Paul Hornsby. Mac then disappeared when his brother, Robert, made a guest appearance to assist Anna. Then Robert left town, and Mac hasn’t been seen for what seems like a year! Felicia pops up occasionally, but it would be nice to see Mac back in action! Mac was a cop and Felicia a private eye! The possibilities are endless!
I like Lucus..
I want to see him with Felix, too..
The 3 (Brad, Felix and Lucus) were really great together.
0OOOH NO..
Robin returns on my Birthday…
whatta gift I hope the receipt is included.. lol
The writers sole focus are on a handful of characters and not a town full of citizens we all know and love..this is the Altman Passanante soap curse..write the show into a ditch..it’s what they do.
Everytime the writers put more people on the canvas at one time, all you hear is people complaing that there are too many story lines to follow. It doesn’t matter WHO is writing GH, they wrong, no matter what they do.
The constant whining and complaining gets old real fast.
I’m always up for a Robin appearance/return, but Lucas…heck yeah! Hope the writers actually utilize the character. He should be a mainstay in Port Chuck.
Michael Sutton would make an awesome Patrick Drake recast, just sayin’. We do know he has chemistry with Kimberly
Lucas? Never heard of him!
Kill Brad and let Lucas turn to Felix in his grief. Lucas and Felix would make a great couple, then give them some stories. (Maybe Lucas turning to Sonny to find Brad’s killer, against Carly’s advice.)
i hope theres a scene where lucas and carly talk, surely lucas must feel guilty by the fact that his nephew was killed for a bomb meant for his dad? he must have some kind of weird feelings about that if anything…
Always glad when Robin and Emma come for a visit.
I hope Ryan pops up more often. I miss him as Lucas. Lucas should have been at Morgan’s funeral or at Julian’s bedside to shew him out. Dare I hope we see more of Lucas and Brad in 2017?
For that matter, the entire nursing staff has been MIA since GH closed its doors. Only Liz shows up regularly and Amy showed up once. What about Epiphany and Felix? Oh, golly! They were the soul of the 10th floor nurses’ station for so long and now not to see them at all is like gutting the set.
Would to see Lucas anytime, but in an actual storyline. Brad was far more interesting when he was a bad boy creepin’ on straight guys. Let him revert to that, and then the gay guys would all have story possibilities. Gay or straight, happy marriages on soaps are boring.
I miss Epiphany! She was always on everyones butt, including Drake Jr. as she called Patrick. I really miss both characters, although I do see the good Dr. as Billy Abbott on Y&R, but I still miss him as Dr. DRAKE.
