I just think everybody really knocked it out of the park and the audience is going to be really thrilled with the performances from the actors and the story. It’s really exciting stuff.”

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.

Holy God this looks amazing. I am so excited. Thanks Ron and Frank. You both are the best there is.
Looks awesome! Can’t wait. But now I will have to choose between GH & DOOL :'(
There are always ways to watch both nowadays, between DVR, Tivo, or whatever recording device you have, and in the case of GH, you can always catch episodes on ABC.com or YouTube, I’m not sure about DOOL since I don’t watch it. But you don’t have to pick one or the other, you can still watch both.
I cannot wait until next week. I’m so anticipating what’s going to happen to the citizens of PC. It seems that Jerry is always up to no good so it’s just a matter of who’s going to get to him first and finish him off. I love everybody but I’m more anxious to see what’s gonna happen to my beloved John McBain. He’s my all time favorite and I just hope he comes out of this mess unscathed. Lovin me some McBain!!
GH rocks, pissed off about Steve leaving, hope before jason is gone for good he has a reunion with Elizabeth and leaves her pregnant, the storyline that would generate would be awesome, i can picture Sam and Elizabeth coming together for the sake of the baby, and wanting the babies to bond, this time around the baby should be a girl,Gh owes Laison fans this much.
Oh God, please. Hasn’t Elizabeth been pregnant often enough, with enough different men NOT her husband? And you want her left with another child to pawn off on Gran?
No we don’t need that but let’s see Carly has three kids by three different fathers and oh so does Alexis everyone seems to forget that. It seems every time RH was pregnant in real life they thought they had to write it in.
Now this looks like a quality soap! Still concerned on how Jason will be exited. Will some of us get what we have been waiting for……end of Jason and Sam (baby isn’t his or her’s?) Get some quality s/l of Liz, Jason and Jake being back??!!
YES….SO EXCITED!
I cannot believe how good GH has been lately. The team of Ron and Frank have done it again! Brought me back to GH, in front of the tv, not just leaving it on and going about my business. Whats funny is I had a dream, PC blew up and the survivors all moved to LLandview! lol How awesome. But alas, it was just a dream……
Frank and Ron… you have proven yourselves with OLTL, and again with this wonderful storyline with GH. Thank you guys for your hard work, your talents…Keep it going! We are watching! and ……. you ARE appreciated!
Looks amazing. Can’t wait till Monday!! Good timing too, I will be all moved into my new place.
Love to see Jack Wagner back on General Hospital!
??
That is the most exciting promo I have ever seen for General Hospital. To bad ABC doesn’t pour some money into that promo and promote GH like they do some of their new loser program’s.
Can’t wait! Looks good!!!
LOL.. I should have known they would make it all about Sonny. 🙂 I’ll be waiting to see how that ties in.
It will be nice to see a location shoot though.
I was excited until I saw that they pretty much made that promo ‘ALL’ about Sonny Corinthos, AGAIN. Seriously must 99.9% of the storylines revolve around or involve Sonny and or Jason? So sick of the mobsters at this point they should just rename the darn soap. 🙁
guess you’ll be happy once Jason leaves the show in roughly six weeks.
I think Sonny will be leaving soon too.
i am ok with that… provided we get some of the original cast back…
I’ve got to say that I can not for next week to start. I’ve got to say that I do agree with many I really hope McBain does not get hurt. I hope after this him and Sam have the talk and realize that they want to pursue the relationship. I also want my Liasion back before Steve leaves. So I again hope we see Mcbam finally turn into the wonderful couple that they are.
IMHO Sam and John are boring together! John is very quiet and needs the opposite. How about John and Carly?
Looks good to me! A good way to send some out in glory so some more OLTL characters can come over.
After a promo like that AND this storyline so far I ask: How can anyone complain about GH or Cartini? WOW!!!!
AWESOME!!! Can’t wait!
I wish they would show that promo in Primetime! We have to see Scandel and Revenge promos. The nightime people should get to see GH promos. Maybe they are showing it?? I do not watch primetime ABC
I know. When and where do they show the promo? I don’t watch ABC daytime other than GH and nor do I watch primetime, but I have to see Revenge, 666, and everything else promoted … including that G– awful CHEW!
The Port of Los Angeles is seeing a lot of action these days thanks to Y&R and GH.
No not necessarily happy. Happy that Steve Burton has found another venture that makes him happy. My issue isn’t with the characters it’s more so with having all roads lead back to mob ties, meaning Sonny and or Jason. It’s just to the point I’m like enough all ready. There are other awesome characters on this show, let’s give them something that has absolutely nothing at all to do with Sonny Corinthos, Jason Morgan, the mob. Then maybe I’ll start watching more, I only watch now for Todd.
Carly! Carly. “Carly”
and, it’s ALL, because, of: Jax.
As soon as Carly saw Jax, walk in to the hospital room… She emodied… his wife. Radiant… Lovely… twosome. They inherently know they belong together! I love them.
all things considered… Ingo Rademacher… needs to return full-time… to replace Steve Burton… and be the perfect foible for Sonny.
i agree!
I don’t understand what so many who complain about Sonny expect. It is quite apparent that Sonny is the face of GH now. Yes he gets a lot of screen time, but it is tapering. It takes time for the mob to go away. It’s kind of like pregnancy weight gain – you didn’t put it all on in one day and you can’t expect to lose it all in one day.
They have to clean up the Joe Scully mess which I heard might take several months as he has big plans to takeover Sonny’s territory or something. They need to slowly get Sonny out of the mob and give him a focus on something else. I think it would be good to see him teach boxing at the new ring (kind of like THE WIRE) and that way he could be on a few times a week, but not the majority.
I think the fact that he is sort of on the same side as McBain and his son shows that Sonny is not so much the hated mobster anymore. I see him cooperating more with law enforcement and possibly respected.
That being said, I am just fine with the promo being centered around Sonny because Maurice Benard is a very charismatic man and he gets one’s attention when he is on screen. Sonny has been the face of GH for quite some time now. Maybe if others (vets) had not left it would still be focused on them.
The promo looked so much better than any of the other stunts or effects that the previous regime did in the past. I just think GH is firing on all cylinders right now.
The bottom line is that you will never make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time. People are crying for their beloved One LIfe to Live and All My Children characters. Well what about the Loving/The City, Guiding Light, As the World Turns, Another World, Santa Barbara, Search for Tomorrow, Passions, Port Charles, and anyone else I forgot to mention? Is General Hospital just supposed to dump GH characters in favor of canceled soap characters? This isn’t a list for Santa Claus. Come on people. Just be happy with the turnaround that the new team has made and be happy your show is still on the air. Rejoice when a GH vet or an actor from a canceled show comes on. Stop being so greedy.
