After the tragic events surrounding the death of former General Hospital star Johnny Wactor (Ex-Brando Corbin) came to light, now the last place he worked, the Level 8 bar in downtown Los Angeles, has taken to social media.

Wactor died with a bullet to the chest, when he and co-worker, Anita Joy, were walking to their cars in the streets of Los Angeles in the wee hours of the morning on May 25th, and came upon three masked thieves wearing masks were trying to steal the catalytic converter from Johnny’s vehicle.

When Wactor tried to approach one of the men, he was shot and killed.  In the aftermath, Anita Joy revealed that Level 8 has not provided proper parking for its employees on her Instagram post expressing, “These criminals need to be caught – Level 8 needs to provide parking for their late hour staff as they originally promised – This cannot be something that isn’t responded to with action, it needs to be addressed in a manner to prevent anything like this ever happening again to the best of their ability – Level 8 needs to contribute to Johnny’s family to honor and respect him for all the hard work and effort he did for them.”

Now, on a post on the bar’s Instagram account they say they are looking into ways to keep their employees safer, expressing, “At Level 8, we take safety very seriously. Since we opened, we have provided the option for security escorts to the nearby parking lot to our staff after hours. And in light of this tragic incident, we have been talking to our team and professionals in the field, and are actively researching additional safety measures for our staff.⁠ We understand that a tragedy such as this impacts everyone differently and profoundly. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for everyone at Level 8. ”

Level 8 also shared on the loss of their co-worker: “It is with a heavy heart that we mourn a valued and cherished team member, Johnny Wactor, whom we lost to a random act of violence a week ago. This has been difficult to process for all who knew him. He was beloved amongst his peers and co-workers, and we will all miss his talent and generous spirit. Our hearts go out to his family and everyone affected by this senseless, terrible tragedy. ”

What do you think about Level 8’s statement that they are looking into more safety measures for their staff, especially given that Anita Joy took them to task for the bar not having employee-specific parking that is safe, which might have saved the life of Johnny Wactor? Comment below.

It has been a sad few weeks on ABC’s General Hospital having to say goodbye to the character of Gregory Chase as played by Gregory Harrison.

In story, Gregory died of complications from ALS sending his sons, Finn (Michael Easton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) into a tailspin and the ripple effect of his passing felt by so many who loved him in Port Charles.

As for Gregory Harrison, while he is gone from GH, he will be back on another series in which he had been a part of …. Hallmark Mysteries & More’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

On the Wednesday, May 29th episode of General Hospital, Alexis was having quite the emotional and trying day played to perfection by two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Nancy Lee Grahn.

In story, Finn (Michael Easton) stops by to see Alexis, who is reeling from the news of Gregory’s (Gregory Harrison) death. Wanting to talk about Gregory and to be there for Finn, Alexis listens to what happened when Finn found Gregory passed away in his bed. He then admits he drank a third of a bottle of bourbon sent as a gift from the Cerullos as part of Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) nuptial celebration.

Alexis says it makes sense that he drank, as he just went through a tragic loss and so he had a reason to break his sobriety. He says it doesn’t excuse what he did. Alexis tries to help Finn forgive himself. He knows she suffered a loss and is mourning Gregory, too.  She admits she wanted to drink, but she has not had one. She thinks it might be a two-a-day meeting kind of thing for them for a while. Finn says, he won’t drink again. She says, “For now.” They remain there for each other through their struggles.

Later, Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) comes by and Alexis apologizes to her for not being able to attend the reading of Gregory’s will, but she has a feeling he made her literary executor. Diane sort of confirms it. Alexis says she on her way to visit Ava (Maura West).  She regrets now, not being at Chase and Brook Lynn’s wedding, as she never thought that would be Gregory’s last day on earth.

Armed with what Fergus Bryne (Lane Davies) told her, Alexis heads to Ava’s gallery and accuses Ava of hiring Fergus to get her disbarred. Ava smugly admits she was very happy to watch her life implode after what she did to her late brother, Julian and how she threw him away.

At that point, Ava clearly tells Alexis she blames her for Julian’s death and that Alexis committed perjury and she has no one else to blame but herself. Alexis fires back that Ava will regret filing that complaint that helped get her disbarred.

It seems like more and more people have a reason to be angry and want payback against Ava? Could it be that Ava will be murdered? Are the rumors floating around that Maura West could be exiting the show possibly true, or is this all just a tease? What did you think of Nancy Lee Grahn’s performance in this episode?
