A Step Down
Filed under: TV News > Z List
Guess when you're not working, you need to take any job that comes your way.
The Sopranos' Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore is set to play a mobster in the ABC soap General Hospital.
Looks like Puss has gone from the Majors to the Minors.
Sad!
Are there any other shows, outside of GH, that prominently features gangsters at the moment?
Does that mean we may see Uncle Junior or Paulie on General Hospital too?

you're a fucking asshole if you think that you have the right to bash everyone and everything around you. it's in your fucking head if you think that you're the shit, cause you're not. in fact, you're a lowlife piece of dirt that has to make other people feel bad to get himself going. get a life you jerk off.
Yea! Baccala plays one of the kid's dads on that terrible show "Secret Life of the American Teenager" on ABC Family! I freaked out when I saw! What a downgrade…
GH would still be good if they hadn't killed of E M I L Y !
Bob Guza and Phelphs, bring back Natalia Livingston as Emily! And i will watch again.
And stop making it all about the Mob!

I've been watching GH for a while, and just recently dropped it because of the overplayed mob storylines. That's all they need is another Mobster added to the mix. I'm glad that he has found another job, and I don't think it's a step down at all.
Don't be too quick to denigrate GH. The pace is fast, the requirements of learning dialogue are enormous and the writing and cast are all first rate. He's LUCKY to be cast on that show!
It's really easy to look down your cute little nose at daytime dramas but there's some seriously good acting happening there AND there aren't any reruns (unless you count SoapNet - and I do not).
PEREZ STOP HATING ON GH, ITS THE SHIT
The Young and the Restless are totally getting into a Mob/Gang storyline right now….stay tuned!
Big Puss has a radio show on Sirius called 'The Wise Guys' - so much for not workin' eh?
Re: Booga – You have my sympathies then. I have always heard that Y&R stayed true to the genre. If it is going the way of GH, good luck, your show will be ruined in a years time. GH was destroyed by its mob storylines. I barely watch anymore.
I remember when GH used to be a show about doctors and nurses and their lives. Then the show went off on this gangster tangent and it became unwatchable. So a big 'who cares?' for arrival of yet another mobster.
Why is it that he can only play gangster? This is hollywood stereotyping, WRONG and im sick of it!!!
Perez - do me a favor, will ya?
Go to Google. Put the name Jason Thompson in there. You'll fall in love. And you'll have a whole new respect for soap operas.
So can't agree with you here. Any show that gives me a hot man like that 5 days a week is best in my book. Remember the name though - he'll be on this blog in the years to come, guaranteed.
But on a personal note, I do wish they'd quit with the mob shit. Soaps watchers aren't made of men who like Godfather crap.
GH is a step up from talking or rather writing gossip all day and night.
Soap actors make bank, and stay out of trouble unlike all your hollywood whores
GH is good show like others has said it has lanuched many actors and try learning 60 pages. Why do you bash other people what gives you the right to look down on other people
