Since the tabernacle is not used on Good Friday or Holy Saturday, does the priest need to consume any Hosts that are left over after the Good Friday service, or are these Hosts kept in the tabernacle of repose and then used for Communion at the Easter Vigil Mass?
 
No, the priest does not consume the hosts remaining on Good Friday.

No, they should not be used at Easter Vigil. All new Hosts Consecrated at the Easter Vigil should be used. After Good Friday there should only be a few hosts left. They can be kept by the priest either with him or in a safe place in a Pyx for use in an emergency Friday evening or Holy Saturday for Viaticum.
