General Hospital
On GH, who do you think kidnapped Peter?
Hopefully it’s Obrecht. And they can both stay gone forever.
The answer: concerned fans of the show. Although, with us, he’d never be seen again.
The Great Pumpkin ate Peter…..Peter, Peter, Pumpkin and scene eater.
I mentioned on the other site—-asked rather. Was it Faison? ( he’s A-L-III-V-E). He was injected with the same ‘come alive’ serum used by the mystery person on DOOL……or, just because Faison hails from the ‘Pepsi Generation’.
Or, was it Liesl? Helena? Maybe it’s Mikko ( sp) —why would Alexis have his picture out? Was that he? Perhaps the photo is an introduction to her non-defunct sire.
hi celia..
It would be more than awesome to have the big players back on screen (Liesl, Helena, Mikkos and Faison) that would be a lifesaver for GH to have them in action once again. Those were truly the glory days of GH, the dark bad guys we loved to hate lol.(love ’em!)
But– sad to say, not gonna happen 🙁
@CeeCee….The actor who played Mikkos is long dead, and if they were planning a recast….then why show a photo of the original? (That would be as bad as when Felicia’s ex-fiance’ Peter was revealed to be alive and they featured a snaphot of the blond guy who played him back in the ‘80’s, then utilized a totally different dark-haired actor for the present day storyline….very sloppy!) At any rate, in answer to the question of who’s holding Peter hostage??? Please, please, please, let it be DR. O.!!! Pretty please!!! l soooo want to see Lethal Liesl get back to her former fatal femme form….And may she finish off this dud of a character once and for all!!!! (Maybe she is hoping to lure Cesar out of hiding by holding his less than prodigious progeny? That would be fun….)
Thank you, Shaybelle. I did not know the actor was dead.
Why did Alexis have his picture out? Was there any truth in how I described Alexis’s secret craving for a father?—a father she never really had?
Oh, I agree about Liesl……please, please, per favore, s’il vous plait, BITTE—-in any language.
Right on, Shay!! Liesl rules!!
Oh, you are most welcome, CeeCeeGirl! Yes, sadly John Colicos, who so convincingly played both the diabolical Mikkos and later, his meeker cousin Petros, died many years ago. Perhaps there is a notion to bring him back incognito ala plastic surgery??? That would be the only way to resurrect this character! As for Alexis and all of her “daddy baggage,” who really knows what’s going on with her messed-up psyche??? I discussed our observations in that respect on the previous thread where Alexis was the topic…do check back! However, it’s amazing how those less-than-ideal father figures sometime do promote promiscuity in their female offspring…hmmm. Anyway, as for Liesl….yes, yes, YES! Let’s have Dr. O. back to her old, most twisted self…we need to inject some of her superbly dark comedic hilarity into the boring, daily grind which has become GH.
I would love to meet Mikkos, Shaybelle…..even within the body of another ( Stefano DiMera is supposedly dead….he may return, albeit Joseph Mascolo is, indeed dead).
It seems that Mikkos is, suddenly, the center of Alexis’ mind. A meeting between the two would be sooooo telling for me.
So, is bringing up his name a good omen; or a foreboding?
He will return. Maybe?? LOL.
To be honest, CeeCee, Mikkos was primarily a cartoon villain…I’ve often described him as a cross between Aristotle Onassis and George Soros…an entitled man of mega-means with many mistresses and the uncontrollable thirst for world domination!!! Let’s just say there weren’t any nuances to this character, and leave it at that! We actually learned more about him through the extended Cassadine brood after his death than we ever gleaned about him in his demented onscreen life! But having said that, if Helena kept him properly cryo-chilled after his frosty demise during the “Ice Princess” caper, I suppose that there is always the possibility that he was eventually thawed and revived to resume his maniacal mischief-making. Perhaps Liesl was part of this process…at least, I would hope so! I’ve really missed Dr. O. and her recently-latent devilish dark side! So glad to see her back in action!
PS…..I saw a spark between Maxie and Chase….what do you think, bell’amica?
Hmmmm……perhaps, CeeCee, perhaps!
The mutter of all mutters is back…yes!!!!!!!
And now she’s the “grandmutter” of all “grandmutters,” too, Jimh!!!
She makes me tune in more…
It was the mama bear, Obrecht !
She is unleashing her revenge; how delicious!
I have been waiting for some excitement.
thing is; did she pick up the flash drive?
Anyways– seconds, before Drew is about to have his brain blown up someone, will rush in and yell STOP! I have Drews memory!
and all will be well..
I hope that Drew will be a character to be reckoned with.
GO DR.O !!.. give me some desperately need action!
I like it, su.
Unfortunately he will be rescued
Yeah, Jimmy. You said it….unfortunate!!
But we can stilll hope to the contrary, Jimh!
Valetin kidnapped him…hopefully he forgets where he hid him-lol
Personally, I would love to see more of this storyline, and a lot less of the Nell story. I want that over with! I am anxious to see Carly show her Mama Bear claws and take care of Nell the Carly way. Where is the fierce Carly hiding? And I hope they soon stop having Michael act like a dishrag. As soon as Nell is done as incubator… get her outa there!

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.
