The character of Jordan Ashford is going to live to see another day with casting news on Wednesday that General Hospital has recast the role previously played by Brianna Nicole Henry.

Now comes word via Deadline, that actress/model Tanisha Harper will take over the role of the former police commissioner of Port Charles.

In story, and as GH fans know, Jordan was sent to a medical clinic in upstate, New York since she now only had one kidney, and had a brush with death when she was close to renal failure.  That story facilitated the exit of the Emmy-nominated Henry.

Before Henry’s exit in 2021, actress Vinessa Antoine was the first actress to play Jordan before she left the soap back in 2018.

Look for Harper to make her debut on the ABC daytime drama series in March.

Some of Tanisha’s recent credits include: Hulu’s Dollface, HBO Max’s, Hacks, Netflix’s Dear White People, and the comedy feature Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

So, excited to hear that Jordan is on her way back to the Port Charles canvas? You know, what they say, third time’s a charm! Comment below.

If that’s a current picture, she looks a little young for the part. Are we supposed to believe she’s TJ’s mom??

Tanisha Harper is 40.
Briana Nicole Henry is 30.
Vinessa Antoine is 38.
So the new gal is the oldest of the 3 who have/will portray(ed) TJ’s mom.

Damn… I’m immortal and I don’t look that young. That must be an old picture, right??

Yes, but still not old enough to have a son that’s nearly a doctor. TJ is no Doogie Howser. Jordan should be at least 48 (coincidentally Brook Kerry’s age).

Tanisha Harper is actually 36.

She’s 36, according to Wikipedia.

Tanish Harper is 36.

You are so right, she looks to young

Sorry, I didn’t miss the character — typical clueless soap cop. But with Peter gone and the Jeromes dead or reformed, that means, what? More mob crap to keep the Port Charles PD busy? Just what we needed.

well.. there are rumors on some less than reliable sites that Ryan might soon be getting over his “locked in” health issues… and if not, then his daughter Esme is certainly up to something. Not to mention whatever Victor Cassadine is up to (other than unseasonably warm temperatures)…. so it seems like a perfect time for the PCPD to have at least two cops on duty & one commissioner who’s not on medical leave. So now that Mac is in the hospital, I guess it’s good timing for Jordan to come back? Or they could both run the department…. I’m reasonably certain that Mac would handle that situation far better than Bert Ramsey did, when he had to share power with Anna back in the day.

Congratulations to Tanisha Harper for becoming the fourth person to portray the role of Jordan Ashford, succeeding Vinessa Antoine, Briana Nicole Henry & Tiffany Daniels. I have no doubts she will make the role her own and bring something wonderful to the character.

I hope Jordan get her husband back

Oh great, another “actress/model”. Just like Ramsey. I guess there are no actual actors available who could’ve played the part. Will wait and see obviously but since the story doesn’t interest me anyway I guess I don’t really care.

Many actors, even Oscar winning actors started out as models at some point. Why would that take away from their talent? Educate yourself.

Ramsey? Like Wes Ramsey? He’s a graduate of The Juilliard School, got his start in theater and has worked steadily on television for 20 years. You may not have liked his portrayal of Peter August, but that doesn’t mean he’s not an “actual actor,” as you put it. What an odd comment.

Whynot
Check your facts,you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. We may not have liked Peter but he sure as hell is a skilled actor and a darned good one to make us hate him so much. As far as Tisha Harper, she could be anyone

I guess now that old snoopy Stella realizes what happened to the divorce papers, she’ll get back into the mix. How does Curtis and Jordan not know that nothing has happened with the divorce? I’m liking Portia now and not the new Jordan so much.

I love it, Violet — snoopy Stella. Amen! I don’t think she understands when someone says GET A LIFE, it means get your OWN LIFE, not everyone else’s in town!

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

Published

By

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.

Take a look at the official GH spoilers for the week below.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3

TUESDAY, AUGUST 4

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5
Sonny wants answers. Ava is struck with inspiration. Curtis’ trial begins. Brook Lynn wrestles with a big decision. Lucy and Serena scheme.

Sonny makes a stunning announcement. Serena makes her move. Willow faces a new threat. Isaiah takes the stand. Lucy questions Laura.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Published

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.
