“Halloween is a special time around Port Charles! It is always filled with surprises, twists, tricks, and even treats! And this year is no different. In honor of Halloween, we put together some of the funniest and scariest moments for you, the fans, to enjoy! We hope you have a fun, and safe Halloween!”
That is what GH’s real life lovebirds and on-screen duo, Kristen Alderson (Kiki) and Chad Duell (Michael) say as the introduction to this video ditty produced by the folks at General Hospital to get you in the mood for fright night!
With clips edited to the tune, “We Hope You have a Haunted Halloween”, many of your favorite characters are seen in costume, whether it was from a past Halloween episode or story arc, or part of a story, as in the case of Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) in the “Anna” (Finola Hughes) mask!
The 2014 Halloween in Port Charles is looking to be pretty scary too …. as many stories are heating up … and many crazies are on the loose! How it all plays out remains to be seen, but for now watch the “Happy Halloween From General Hospital” video after the jump! Then share what was your favorite clip from it below!
General Hospital has the most vivid sensational characters, of all the soaps!!
It is a spellbinding on the edge soap yet has fun humorous stuff injected in for balance!!
I know General Hospital will take it all the way for our Halloween good time!!
Can hardly wait for Roger Howarth/Franco’s Halloween wedding!!
It’s gonna rock!!!
(when the soaps are not taken overly serious as if they are real and personal, they can be fun, really fun!! …
Especially General Hospital, always a good time on the cliffs edge dangling suspense!! !!!
I completely agree! Will never understand the criticism that GH is not “realistic” enough. Hello? It’s a tv show! Not even “reality” shows are realistic. They are scripted. Pro wrestling – scripted. And, when have soaps ever been “realistic?” I guess those critics only want dour, depressing sagas where everyone is drinking, having affairs & popping prescription drugs to deal with it all. I’d MUCH rather watch GH’s twisted, black humor any day! When you have a mobster like Sonny who has ruled the town, it makes sense to do GET SHORTY eventually.
Much appreciate your comment, Kansas. Well said.
agree KansasGuest!
Lately, we are seeing the real Roger Howarth; playing Franco far more delicious than he has since GH changed his character over from Todd. Looking forward to his Halloween surprise for Carly who deserves everything that is coming to her!
Actually, ces…I’ve been saying this for a while not..but we’re seeing the reall “Todd.” His personality is really emerging very close to Todd’s and I’m thinking this is the way Ron gets away with keeping Roger in his beloved role while staying within the legal boundaries. Either way I agree. Roger is baaaaaaaack!
should read a while “now”…and real (not reall)
You’re right Rebecca. I saw “Todd” in those scenes with Heather on Friday, not Franco. GH knows that turning Roger into Franco was dumb but their hands were tied if they wanted to keep Roger on the show. It sucks, because Todd & Carly used to have chemistry and then poof, PP came in and they lost it along the way. I’m really hoping Franco & Nina hook up together after all this is said & done. Love the stuff Roger is doing now 😉
Super tired of Carly needing to protect Michael all the time — it’s like “Cut the apron strings already!”
su0000, I think something is going on with Franco off-screen. 1st I thought there were 2 of him (hear me out..lol), but now I wonder if he has a split personality..
Thursday when Franco & Michael were in the conferences room at GH his hair was combed down straight and dry (no product). He said he had an appointment & left. A bit later he shows up at Ferncliff to see mom. He had the same clothes on, added a jacket and some kind of hair oil. His hair was slicked back like John Travolta in Grease. Heather said “What did you do to your hair? I don’t like it” & he replied it was a new look. After he left there he went to Metro Court to see Carly. It’s still the same day, same clothes. He walks in with yet ANOTHER hairstyle. He had the same clothes on. but now his hair looks shorter, and it was dry, but shiny like it has product on it. The bangs looked different & it even looked like he had highlights.
So either GH has the worst editors ever (I forgot what the actual people who are in charge of the editing and continuity) or something else is going on with that greased back hair. Hmm??
hahhahahah…Franco!
Cant wait for ‘THE BRIDE OF FRANCOSTEIN’ episode…lol…this episode wouldve been a great time for Helene to pay a spooky visit to Jason in the hospital…Nina asking Silas to ‘Play Misty For Me'(with Donna Mills in that scene: she played in the movie with that title about a crazy woman-Jessica Walter- obsessed with Clint Eastwoods character and went all Ninalike crazy, though the much of the storyline is a different)…Faison suprising Liesal only its Victor in a mask…Lulu having a Rosemarys Baby nightmare as she is carrying Stravos’s child and all the Cassidines are there worhshiping the Devil(Stravos) as Lulu gives birth…Carlys Psycho encounter with Franco ‘Bates’ crazy mother Heather and the return of Patrick and Sabrina as a couple…now thats SCARY!…BOO!!…HAPPY HALLOOWEEN…lmao!!!
LAUGH OUT LOUD, jimh…enjoyed your read…one thing…All possible scenarios…only on GH.
As a tribute to the Godfather…i want Sonny to find a horse’s head in his bed…or Carlys…or Carly finds Sonnys in hers…works both ways for me…lol
To honor Michelles big performance: Attack Of The 50ft Nina on the Halloween episode! Nina is touched by an alien on a long dark deserted road…within days she grows into a giant and goes on a rampage searching for Silas and Sam who briefly reunited and are having drinks at Ryans Bar in New York…Nina pulls off the roof and a beam falls on Sam crushing her to death! Nina reaches down and picks up Silas and carries him off only both are electricuited to death when giant Nina attempts to cross electrical lines…of course its just a fantasy episode and part of a dream Silas is having…lol
I like the a Sonny’s head part, jimh…LOL
I remember “Play Misty for Me-” a great movie! It used to be shown on television a lot when I was younger! I am really enjoying Nina Clay. Love Nina’s interactions with her mother and Rosalie. She’s hurt, sensitive, and vulnerable mixed with crazy, deceitful, and diabolical. With all of the talk about how close she was to her father-I am wondering if she was abused by him-which caused her to go crazy. It sounds like Franco will be showing quite the video at his wedding to Carly-much like what happened on Days at Brady and Kristen’s wedding. I just hope that Michael gets a new couch! HA!
Did you have to remind me about the couch…lol…i bet if they took it out to burn it, the Sonny/Carly fumes would spread all over PC causing instant death to whom ever inhales it…lol…PMFM is one of my favorite thrillers of all time!!!
I know jimh-the couch-haha! Perhaps this storyline will make Michael a tad bit interesting. I have always been a fan of Sonny’s, but not lately-and Shawn as his “enforcer” is ridiculous. Waste of air-time-Shawn trying to pin Franco’s near-death on Maxie, etc.-when you know that was never going to happen. Sonny repeating the same lines about how Carly is making a mistake, how she doesn’t love Franco, how she belongs with Sonny, etc., etc.-just plain dumb and boring. I’ve lost count at how many women Sonny has said belonged with him. Anyhoo, I do like Franco-just not in this storyline. I enjoy his friendship with Nina and I think his scenes with Heather are funny. Roger Howarth is very talented and I think his talents could be put to better use-rather than rehashing the brain tumor “made him do it,” the video that “proved” that the brain tumor made him do it, etc. Anyhoo, I’m getting off track! Halloween should be fun in PC!
I agree with everything youve said about Sonny, Shawn, Franco, Nina, Heather, and Micheal…and i look forward to the Halloween episode…sounds like its going to be good!!!
The last scene with Franco and Heather is an absolutely lip-smacking, delicious and frightening satirical feast. I’m sure they both had a lot of fun C U T T I N G it !!!!
Franco with Heather or Franco with Nina…Franco works best with these two characters and vice versa…imo…GH still has some flaws but lately the cast seems somewhat better balanced in recent weeks and the storylines are improving lately that now if my overgrown toenails need a trim they’ll just have to wait for the weekend…lol
I agree; Franco’s best scenes and most enjoyable scenes are with his mother, Heather and his friend, Nina.
Holloween is going to be deviously WICKED on all fronts.
So many top notch performances, keep them coming!!
You know that was actually cute and enjoyable. To bad the actual show isn’t ! Go Heather Cut Sonny’s throat ,make carley watch and then! do her.
I JUST LOVED IT, CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT ALL ON GH. I’LL COMMENT MORE AFTER I SEE IT, AND THAT I CAN KEEP MY EYES OPEN AND MY SCREAMS NOT SO LOUD. BE BACK THAN, AND MAY EVERYONE THAT IS A FAN OF THE BEST GH, A HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
Faison dressing up as Beetlejuice last year was the best. The great Anders Hove took the ball and ran with it. I always love seeing what costumes they come up with for the various characters. Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us this year.
Dan, you just brought those images to life…still laughing…Faison as Beetlejuice was so a propos…so a la Faison…LOL.
That was very funny-when he opened the door and Lesley Webber fainted. I love Faison and Dr. O’s scenes together, too.
And “Dr. O.” trussed-up in that dirndl as a frisky fraulein really completed the picture!
I was glad to see Heather; I want Franco and Heather to confront Sonny and Shawn. I hope Franco becomes more combatant with Sonny. Just because he ‘s a mobster, the writers like to make other characters afraid of him. That’s how they wrote A. J.’s character.
Well, it’s quite obvious Franco’s from today’s episode. wedding gift to his bride will be a video of herself and a Sonny in bed…brought to us in technicolor …Boo, surprise, y’ll.
Sounds a little like Days when they did the Kristen/Eric video at Kristen and Bradys wedding…
You’re right…crossed my mind too. I think the preview ,today, tried to throw us off, though. Didn’t Franco say to Carly that he knew what was going on between her and Sonny? Of course, it’ll be something completely different from what we’re thinking.

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.

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.
