General Hospital
THIS WEEK ON GH: Chillers, Thrillers, And One Wicked Watercooler Worthy Wedding!
Courtesy/GH
It’s Halloween week 2014, and all roads to “fright night” lead to ABC’s General Hospital!
For weeks, the stories have been building, and the pieces have been placed, for major plot points to unfold causing havoc and repercussions for most of the citizens of Port Charles! First, there is Nina (Michelle Stafford) and Madeline (Donna Mills) who are scheming to take Ava’s (Maura West) baby from her! How will they do it? Will they succeed? Just how diabolical and twisted will their plot get? And,will the audience actually feel empathy for Ava in all of this?
Next, Franco (Roger Howarth) is out for revenge on Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) knowing that his bride-to-be cheated with her ex-hubby on more than one occasion! And, Franco knows that it was Sonny who killed Michael’s (Chad Duell) bio-father AJ Quartermaine! Will Michael finally learn all?
Additionally in the promo, Sam (Kelly Monaco) is seen reading a file and shocked at what she finds out! What is she discovering? How does this figure in to the equation? Is it news about Jason (Billy Miller) … or Fluke (Tony Geary)?
Watch the GH Halloween spooktacular week promo after the jump! Then, let us know how you think these several storylines will play out in the days ahead … and, which are you looking forward to seeing the most?
Can’t see the promo in Canada 🙁
Yes lisa, you are right. I live in Vancouver Bc, Canada and cannot see the promo. That is really a bummer.
I already feel empathy for Ava. You know why? Because Maura is a fabulous actress and manages to make Ava sympathetic to me in spite of her misdeeds. Kudos to Maura!
I agree maura is such a great actress..you going from loving her to loathing her to feeling sympathetic. She shines with Morgan in storyline they have amazing chemistry.
I can’t say that I disagree with you! Maura is an unbelievable actress! She brings vulnerability to such a cold-hearted woman-especially in Ava’s scenes with Morgan. Ava seems to have deep regret over hurting him. Nevermind that Maura is gorgeous! I just love her style!
I actually like Ava…UNTIL…I remember she set up AJ on more than one occasion and had a hand in his death. (my loyalty’s always with AJ…LOL…and…not to mention .she was ready to kill Michael.) So it’s quite the conundrum!
If I HAD to make a choice I’m looking forward to Todd…I mean, Franco’s…revenge. I soooooo want Michael to find out!
lol goes to show; Ava is very versatile 🙂
when Ava is on screen, I can feel her … great actress!
You mean Maura is versatile, Su. Ava is as versatile as the writers want her to be. ….as every other role any character may play. The only versatility that is characteristically Ava? She’s extraordinarily resourceful.
I read the actor’s/actress’s face. Facial expressions mirror feelings, and Maura West is one of the few whose face tells a story….that is the reason why she is so great at her craft….among Michelle Stafford and Jenn Liley, to name a couple….
I still believe someone will get injured at the wedding, that Lucas will use his medical knowledge to save that persons life and it’ll convince Lucas to go for a medical position at GH…meanwhile, i believe RC is reworking his OLTL Victor/Todd plotline and that nuJason is really Mason…Jasons unknown twin brother who is programmed by the Cassidines to think he is the real Jason(Robin is convinced he is Jason) and the Cassidine will use Mason/Jason in their sinister plot against several PCs citizens!!!
I can’t wait for the Cassadines to return, they are immortal !!!
I am excited for this wedding!!
GH is so unique, gotta love it ..
The actors alone stamp it as awesome!!
… Nina (Michelle Stafford) and Madeline (Donna Mills) Ava (Maura West)
Franco (Roger Howarth) Jason (Billy Miller) F/luke (Tony Geary)
(Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard)
WOW !!!
The wedding will be thrilling, for sure!!
I cant wait for the wedding too…
su0000, I love all of the actors you listed above-very talented group!
I also love the Cassadines. Miss Victor and his scenes with Liesel and Spencer.
What if NuJason is really A.J. and not the twin i previously posted?
haha! I actually thought of that too! That would get Sonny off the hook…sorta. But, nahhhhhhh..
That right…Sonny would be free, and i sooooo much want Micheal to hate him and get his revenge…lol
agree jimh. can’t wait!
The wedding! I’ve NEVER liked Franco&Carly but this story is thrilling. I just hope they WONT end up married and that we will finally be heading to a Carly&Sonny reunion!
loving everything general in the hospital,,ninas a real kick,,love her and madeline…loving morgan in any scene shirtless,,,ava eats up every scene with that delicious smile that only maura west can deliver,,, billy miller is even bringing life to elizebeth….love love love general hospital…and dam young and restless i gave that show up last year now with the addition of kelly sullivan i have to tune in…..thats the only mistake general hospital has made this last year killing connie/ kate….just wish they would get rid of luke,,,havnt even noticed he was gone,,,maybe time to trade gearys demands and turmn them over to genie francis,,,,everyone still thinks of laura…..one last thing the cassidines without laura mean nothing,,get rid of em,,except nicholas,,,love my britnick…o,k im done
Same here, Randy. …GH is doing its thing…I thought today’s scene with Scotty and Franco sitting in bed together eating strawberries was exceptionally hilarious.
Although I have to say, CeeCee, that if I were never to see Scotty in that robe again, it would be toooo soon!
HI !!!!! Shay…..good to hear from you.
Yes, Scotty is not that easy on the eye. I mainly focus on his giant forehead….very distracting….when I see it, everything else seems to fade. That forehead surely takes precedence over all things….LOL
Hey Girl!!! Good to hear from you, too! Just wanted to wish you good luck on your imminent return to the classroom….it won’t be the same here without your copious, charm-filled comments to look forward to reading each and every day. Don’t forget about us, and do try to check in now and then….I know you will be super busy—I say after my own week-long+ absence—but I’ll be eagerly anticipating your glittering jewels of colossal wit!!!! Take care!!!! P.S. Um, yeah, Scotty’s expiration date on “stud muffin” status expired many moons ago!
oh girls…stop it! I LOVE Scott! He’s soooo much a part of GH history…and I always find him lovable even when he’s annoying! And I agree; the father/son bonding bed scene, LOL, was tres amuse…ANDDDDDDDD…I don’t think Scott’s bad looking at all…just needs to drop a few but I think he’s held up well.
Was looking at Michael Easton on youtube today…don’t know the year…but he was so incredibly good-looking and had a great body. When he took off his shirt he had ink and muscles. Not quite sure why he lost so much weight…still a looker though.
Hi Shay!!! Yes, was wondering where you were.
Hi CeeCee. Hope your school daze will still allow you to unwind with your soaps and partake in the ring here. 😉
I just read Shays reply…didnt know you’ll be off for awhile…i too wish you good luck in the classroom…i, unfortunately, will be leaving this site early next year and maybe for good…i need to make some cuts and it looks like im going to start with cable and internet…i was going to cut out food but according to my doctor i need to eat to live…lol…i’m going to stay on here for as long as i can…maybe by New Years things will change …ill keep my fingers crossed…but if not…well, you know the saying ‘All good things must come to an end’…if that happens i might try the computers at the library and check the site out once in awhile but they are usually full…i wont leave here until its definate!!!
Hello to you, too, rebecca1!!! Been awol for a bit…thanks for noticing….nothing serious, just too much to do and too little time! I tend to agree that Scott is not necessarily bad looking….he has potential, but it’s his buffoonish, boorish, blowhard behavior that is so off-putting to me, and also the electrified hedgehog coiffure. I just don’t get it….he has a good, full head of hair, he should grow it out more so that his face doesn’t look so full. I also would like him better with a different woman….I found his pairing with Lucy to be insufferable and now that he has “chosen” Bobbie, it’s all I can do to not look away in complete horror at the two of them. Even though I didn’t want to see him with Laura because of their history, he was far more bearable when they were together. As for ME….yep, he was quite the looker back in the day…always unique, and with the coolest vibe. I cannot tell you had many times I saw him on primetime episodes……they never failed to be a treat! I still find him to be very appealing most of the time….again, the hair is the key….when the style is a tad off he can look too gaunt facially, but regardless I do like our Silas!!!! (Great little mini-reunion with Sam, by the way….awwww.)
Ron tried the twin brother thing with Franco which wasn’t believable to the fans who know that Susan Moore had one 8lb baby boy back in the 80’s. Unless it is revealed that the detective who called Alan from NYC telling him of Jason’s birth was in on the cover up, I don’t see that happening.
What is Carly dressed up as/in? I am interested in seeing the aftermath once the truth is revealed. I am tired of the same conversations between Carly and Sonny. I was watching the scenes where Michael found Sonny in the Quartermaine Crypt and what ridiculous lines-Sonny dreaming of murdering Faison. What father says that to their son? I’ve always been a fan of Maurice’s-since his AMC days and his early days in PC with Brenda, Lois, and Ned. Nowadays, the writers give him the same lines to repeat-which are basically ridiculous-how Carly belongs with him, blah, blah. Seriously, how many women has he said that to? Grew tired of Carly’s obsession with Jason and Sonny a long time ago, too.
I am enjoying watching Donna Mills. Have always loved her. Have grown fond of Michelle Stafford. Always love Dr. O-comedic genius! Love and miss the Q’s.
Nice having a break from Sam.
I think Sam finds out that Danny is sick again & this time Julian’s bone marrow won’t be able to save him! Paging Mr. “Jake Doe”! 😉
That crossed my mind, too, don holley.
General Hospital
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.
