General Hospital (Gh) spoilers and rumors tease Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and “Vanna” may not be done yet!
There is a reason other than love and Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) that Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) allowed them to flee!
General Hospital Spoilers – Valentin Cassadine Knows Where A Lot Of Bodies Are Buried
Pikeman Security Group is a group of mercenaries made up with disgraced spies, most of them former Wsb agents, and they deal in weapons used to wage war including mob wars.
Valentin has probably been involved with them since day one, when he was operating undercover as Theo Hart and Charlotte was with his nanny, Claudette Beaulieu (Bree Williamson).
Valentin also fenced stolen jewels and dealt in some dangerous drugs, as he did when involved with Cassandra Pierce (Jessica Tuck).
It’s not certain the drugs and jewels were part of his Pikeman work, but it wouldn’t be surprising.

The soap opera world was rocked last week when news broke that Roscoe Born, a soap opera vet who has appeared in countless daytime-tv shows, had died.
He was 69.
The family of the actor has now spoken out about the tragic death and revealed that the cause of death was suicide.
"It is with heavy hearts that we confirm the death of our father and brother Roscoe Born," the statement reads.
"The gleaming charisma and creativity that shone through his onscreen performances, fueled his robust songwriting repertoire, and charmed all those around him were matched by a darkness in his life."
It continues, "Roscoe has long struggled with bipolar disorder, a shadow that he succumbed to when he took his own life on Tuesday March 3, 2020."
"We are grateful for the outpouring of kind words and memories. We only wish that Roscoe could have seen how much people still carry his daytime villains in their hearts.

Madrid — Ahead of next week’s Natpe market in Miami, Beta, one of the biggest independent TV-film powerhouses in Europe, has confirmed a swathe of sales on its U.S. TV movie productions and high-end spin-off series “Gomorrah: The Immortal.”

Are Matt and Angie still on top of things during the second season of the Private Eyes TV show on Ion? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Private Eyes is cancelled or renewed for season three (it's been renewed in Canada). Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we'd like to offer you the chance to rate all of the Private Eyes season two episodes here.

The Private Eyes TV show is the first Ion TV series we've tracked, so we're still getting a feel for what its ratings mean to the cable network. The Canadian series' success on Canada's Global Television means more to its overall cancellation or renewal chances, and it has already been renewed for season three north of the border, so that's one hurdle cleared. Now, will Private Eyes be cancelled or renewed for season three on Ion? Stay tuned.

• Boardwalk Empire actor Jack Huston will take the chariot reins as the title role in the upcoming remake of Ben-Hur. Previously, Tom Hiddleston had been in talks for the role of slave Judah Ben-Hur in the Paramount and MGM picture. Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) is directing the film adapted by John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) and Keith Clarke (The Way Back) that is said to be based more on Lew Wallace’s 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ than the 1959 film that starred Charlton Heston. Morgan Freeman has already been cast as Ildarin, the teacher who helps make the slave Ben-Hur into chariot racer champion.

For a season finale of CSI, you might be inclined to expect the baddest of baddies to go toe-to-toe with our forensic team, but that’s not going to be the case for the Season 13 finale, airing May 15. Instead of a murderer to catch, a kidnapped victim to rescue, or anything of the usual variety, our bad guy will be someone who is technically not doing anything illegal. How can you make a finale worthy episode if the villain doesn’t commit a crime? Easy: you make him a threat in other ways, such as using his words to discredit an entire force of police officers.

Usually TV characters have better wardrobes than their real-life counterparts ...Ok, those waitress uniforms on "2 Broke Girls" are an exception.
But on "Deception," NBC's Monday night soap, the characters are so wealthy that it would be unlikely a freshman show could buy high-end enough wardrobes that would hang in these one percenters' walk-in closets.
"I don't have a fancy budget," Amy Roth, the show's costume designer, tells Zap2it. "With these first-season shows, you want to show you can make this TV series great. You don't want to spend a lot of money until it's a hit. I am doing this on the budget of a cop show."
"It is super wealthy, and I do spend a lot of time in Bergdorf's, and I love it, and I put my money where it matters," Roth says. "I spend my money pretty much on the waist up. It is a facet of my job.

Watch Sofia make her best attempt as ‘kindness’ in our first-look from the next episode of ‘Deception!’
There are many words I would use to describe Sofia Bowers (Katherine Lanasa): cold, manipulative and psychotic — to name just a few. But ”maternal” is certainly not one of those words, which is why this new clip from the Feb. 4 episode of NBC’s Deception, obtained exclusively by HollywoodLife.com, makes me super uncomfortable.
On the heels of Mia’s (Ella Rae Peck) debutante ball, Sofia pays a visit to her “daughter” to dispense some “motherly” advice — she tries to convince her to forget about Kyle (David A. Gregory), as she’s going to have “so many men” after her — as well as to pass down her grandmother’s pearl necklace.

Nobody likes being ambushed with questions on the street — especially when the questions are “Did your brother kill your sister?” and “Did you know your sister was a junkie?” So you can imagine how Julian (Wes Brown) feels about the swarm of paparazzi bugging him in HollywoodLife.com‘s exclusive clip from the Jan. 21 episode of Deception.

With the clock ticking down on the fate of Audrey Parker, the final two episodes of Haven hold all the answers. But not wanting to spoil all the fun, in a recent press call stars Emily Rose, Eric Balfour and Adam Copeland talked about some of the fun they had this season and provided a few clues on what is next for our favorite Haven heroes.
What’s it been like to learn the significance of the barn in relation to the challenge of understanding the timeline of Audrey, Lucy and Sarah?
Emily: It’s been really fascinating because this barn has grown some prominence as the season has gone along. I think that’s probably the exciting thing about the last episode: how close we get to unearthing this mythical sort of building and what is. I still don’t even quite understand everything that it is. But it’s been really neat.

I don't even know what to say about "Last Goodbyes." It's kind of a difficult episode to review because it was really all about Audrey coming to the realization that she has to fight to say in this world. How it went down, however, was pretty fun.
Since she's Trouble free, Audrey found out she was the only person in Haven awake on a day when, well, everyone else wasn't. It was pretty easy to figure out Amnesia Man was in a coma and his coming out of it was what put everyone else into one, and kind of funny that it was he who realized they were in comas and not just asleep. How did he know they were in comas?
Nolan North played the part of Amnesia Man (Will Brady) so well. He has great comedic timing and he was perfectly cast to play off Audrey while Haven...

In the fan world for Syfy’s supernatural series Haven, a hot and heavy debate has raged for over the past 3 seasons over whether Audrey Parker’s (Emily Rose) heart should be won by the bad-boy smuggler Duke Crocker (Eric Balfour) or the good-guy police detective Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant). For the better part of the first couple seasons, it was a genuine toss-up between the handsome heroes and yet as the second season came to a close, it seemed like Audrey had finally made up her mind and chose Nathan.
However, the third season has shown in the first few episodes, that there may be a change of heart or rather a shift in the tug-of-war. So what exactly changed?
For one, Audrey did. She found out that her time in Haven may be coming to an end rather rapidly as she could literally disappear from the face of the planet in 46 days.
