Monica should smell Paul’s cologne and know he is the killer…Monica is able to text this to Tracy as Paul confronts her…realizing the police know, a frantic and desperate Paul kidnaps Monica and hides out at the closed General Hospital for several days,,,Paul ties up Monica in her office as she begs him to let her go…Paul attempts to kill Monica who has fainted but the ghost of Alan Quartermain appears frightening Paul who flees…Monica awakens and sees Alan’s ghost realizing he protected her… Monica uses her cell phone to contact police telling them she is trapped in the hospital with the killer Paul just as her phone dies…Paul heads back to Monica’s office to finish her but the ghosts of all his murder victims appear from all the areas where Paul had murdered them…Paul is loosing his mind and seems to age ten years as the ghosts congregate around him…Paul near breakdown begs the ghost to disappear but as they move menacingly toward him a desperate fall turns quickly..and he crashes through a window falling ten floors to his death….later, Monica tells a disbelieving Tracy it was Alan’s spirit who had saved her life…alone in Monica’s office, Tracy finds a handkerchief with the initials A.Q. and realizes her brother’s spirit indeed saved Monica’s life…a tear streams down Tracy’s smiling face as we her her quietly say, ‘Oh. Alan!’ then she leaves the room-we see Alan watching…the end!

It was an emotional episode. I thought Carly getting up to say something was a little bizarre considering how she had downplayed Sabrina’s character to MIchael. I thought she was just going to stand by MIchael for emotional support.

“Lossed”?

It reminded of Casey’s grave..
Every month a grave speech .. that drove me crazy.

Too sad that Teresa was brought back to be murdered, let go

((I haven’t laughed once, not once, not even a chuckle since J&S, and that is sadder than the funeral.

After the agony of losing Sabrina ,can we please not have to endure the agony of this storyline for much longer.

Sabrina should not have been taken off the canvas this way. I never liked how she came out of nowhere and was put on frontburner as a Carlivati pet, followed by uninspired Ugly Betty Blossoms into beauty. However, the actress Theresa Castillo could actually act, and made the role work, and I came to love her friendship with Felix, Epiphany, and everyone at the hospital, and she and Carlos were great onscreen. When they weren’t trying to force her into romances with Patrick or Michael she really shined in her friendships, with Tracy, Liz, the whole hospital. She was one of the few genuinely nice characters, even if she did poison Ava once, the good outweighed the bad. 4 years and another writer later, she is killed off. She was a smart, kind, and strong woman of color, and they just throw her away when they could’ve just had her leave town, instead they shoehorn her into this tacky murder mystery that no one cares about and her killer is another fine actor that I’d rather not see go, because he had so much mileage to him if used properly, but now we have two characters thrown under the bus to give a storyline no one asked for some kind of legitimacy, or ‘weight’, or ‘higher stakes.’ and the story looks all the worse for it and should’ve ended months ago. All this funeral showed is what is glaringly missing on the show, more legacy, and entertaining stories and current issues, and the mob needs to go. If they are keeping the mob alive so that Sonny can have something to do, they are limiting the show, the fans, and the actor. The Jeromes have been shown to have jobs outside of the mob, and were kicked out several times, so why not Sonny? Well, back to Sabrina, I realized I missed Felix something fierce, and he needs to be on contract again. I felt the worst for him because he knew her the longest and the best. I wish her great luck in all her future endeavors.

i’m going to recap this; because it stings ; more like hurt

I read the latest SOD issue… and their was J & S rationalizing… led me to believe her character death was needed to “add” depth to their writing

BS !

expletive

having Paul commit these hateful crimes isn’t enough?

Theresa Castillo.. added layer , color, intrigue… on such a whitewashed mess of all over the place makes no sense just their DULL

get it ?

GH is squandering potential… for MIX

Morgan / Sabrina / Paul / Nicholas .. these 4 characters were all over the canvas

what a joke of a show

J and S along for the ride… Frank Valentini as Executive Producer… for another year plus to dig deeper their mess

at the end of that synopsis ; article… they mentioned briefly that JVP was going to be driven…

we shall see

I guess this means that when the Nurse’s Ball returns her face will be right next to Robin’s, and I can see why long time fans would be upset by that, but if you get murdered at a hospital you work at you deserve to be immortalized forever in the halls of those hospitals and all of their functions. I hope they show more of Lucy, Felix, and Epiphany. They are the ones that deserve the airtime, NOT Finn and Haytchel, who is this writer’s Sabrina. Whenever GH gets the writers they deserve, everyone will see for themselves who the pets were, because their parts will be miraculously reduced, or they will be gone altogether. I know GH has an inflated cast, but there are so many places they could ‘trim the fat.’ Why couldn’t Nathan West have been pushed down the steps so they can recast him with someone that can act and isn’t an obvious hair model. I see Nik has left, and Morgan as well, and also wish Claudette, Haytchel,and her mother would go, unless they plan on recasting Jeff Webber, which would really help to see his explanation to Liz for giving her such a b$%ch of a sister. I just hope that they are hiring wisely in the future so that we can see characters old and new that serve a purpose, are written with respect for their character, so that the next time some murder mystery comes around they will hopefully resist the itch to ‘go there’ again.

You have to know that on Monday’s episode Tracy will ask Paul what he means and he’ll snap out of it and say something to the effect of he didn’t stop the killer in time.

The funeral was lovely, but IMHO, it just never should have come to this.

When I think back over the character of Sabrina’s time on the show, I can’t help but wonder how absolutely brutal this has been for some poor soul who has been facing a lot of hard times like she did. Sabrina started as the “ugly duckling turned into a swan” storyline, fell in love with a man who’s wife was secretly still alive, lost her first born, gave up on love to run away with her second baby’s criminal father who was murdered, lost her nursing job, and then just as her life was starting to come back together it was snuffed out.

For some, Sabrina was the inspiration of triumphing over adversity; to keep on keeping on. In killing off this character, the writers may have polarized viewers and give some weight to an ill-conceived story for a few days but they’ve none little else. This character’s death was wasted for a few measly days’ worth of scripts, while her potential to continue to inspire for years to come was squandered. I don’t really see any future story coming due to Sabrina’s death, as the writers have shipped Teddy off to PR with his Uncle Joe. (And why would Joe return without Teddy??? Will that be another fan favorite back for a wasted opportunity? Only time will tell.) We will probably get a repeat of Michael fighting with one or more of his parents and then he will fall into the arms of Nell ~ that was evident the moment they laid eyes on each other.

I’m sad that the writers haven’t demonstrated the ability to write consistently and yet have had their contracts renewed. They do great every other three shows, but those in between are disappointing. I love GH and want them to do better. Unfortunately, after this travesty (killing off Sabrina) it’s going to take a lot of good writing to get me to like their material again.

No. not one bit. Shows have to stop killing characters just to get rid of them. Sabrina could have easily received word she’d family needs her or been approached to take a job out of town OR even just walked into her kitchen never to be seen agin until 2 or 3 years or more when they could bring her back.

The hospital killer story is stupid and without merit.

While not a huge fan of the character, I thought it was quite odd the only “flashback” was of the murder scene. I know they did the touching Felix flashback the other day, but since they were paying TeCa by using the murder scene, why not throw in a flashback or two?

Time will tell if the writers place Sabrina with the rarely mentioned dead (AJ) or those mentioned numerously (Connie).

I missed the beginning of the service so I thought the priest in vestments sitting there in the corner not saying a word was a bit odd since Griffin was running the service– also the purple sash is for Lent and Advent– not for funerals, you would think there would be one Catholic on the show that would point out that error. I give them credit for at least having it done in a church set– most soap memorial services are either outside or in some bar/restaurant —-

— and that is why they killed Sabrina– you cannot have a serial killer story without at least one B or A list character getting killed. You cannot have one serial killer story without at least one memorial service to manipulate viewers into caring about this story line—at first I thought they were going to kill off Monica, but I think the outrage from long time fans would have been too great– so they picked Sabrina– she there long enough that we should care about her, but not long enough to get fans in an uproar– plus her character was happy and that is dangerous on any soap, if you are an actor on a soap and your character is telling everyone how happy they are and life is perfect– chances are the character will be killed off by the end of the week–

As for my favorite moment– the song at the end– with just the one singer singing it the song was bearable– if everyone in the church had started to sing it, I would have barf– but keeping it classy worked.

Lighten up, folks. There are far worse things going on with the writing and plots of this legendary program than Sabrina meeting an untimely demise. Though she was by far not the most irritating character on GH…fill in the blanks with whoever you feel this is, but Kiki out distances them all in my estimation…these particular writers are committing heinous acts on a near daily basis with their particular version of storytelling.

These two really need to go. ABC: shred those new contracts and find some writers that know how to actually write. GH and its loyal audience deserve better!

Marc Anthony Samuel has really delivered in the aftermath of Sabrina’s murder. Poor Felix – he has an off-camera relationship, he’s been back-burnered forever and his sister evaporated into thin air.

The writing lately has been so perfunctory it’s as if it’s only done to give the best cast in daytime something to do while they appear on screen. Individual scenes can be great but the overall stories are lackluster. Long live GH!

J&S near destroyed Y&R..
Y&R fell to its’ lowest ratings, a viewer loss as never before.
They are horrible writers. (the over a year Music Box story)
Most of what they write makes no sense.. The serial killer story makes little sense, has no intruge, no twists and turns, not one intense moment, absolutely void of climatic drama.

Their couples are terrible. NO romance, no nothing. The couples are empty.

J&S are without a doubt the worst soap writers, ever.
They are totally wrong for GH ..
GH is being destroyed.
If, they were to be fired there is not another soap that would take them in; fact.

(( when Y&R fired them for taking down Y&R to its lowest ratings then why would ABC take them in? A huge mistake. And. GH is suffering under J&S.. I am suffering under J&S..

Since J&S, I have not had one laugh, not one, not even a chuckle and that in itself is sad.
I have not had one, not one, WOW moment.
I have never FF any soap at anytime as I am FF through GH, constantly. And that is bad, very bad.

Anna gets back into P.C. and teams up with Franco to go after Paul. Anna feels that Paul manipulated her and Franco wants payback for what happened to Liz. Paul is in the chapel hiding out. With a kidnapped Monica. He is talking to his daughter Susan on the phone confessing everything he has done and how he did it out of love for her. He tells her he still has more thing to do and it will be all over and he will be joining her. He then starts to explain to Monica that years earlier Susan had been treated at GH and given dyrisafal by mistake. She ended up partially paralyzed from it. Monica had been chief of staff at the time, so he has blamed her for Susan’s medical problems. As he is about to kill her Anna and Franco rush in. Paul puts the needle to Monica’s neck and tells and to drop her gun. Anna puts the gun on the floor and kicks it in Francis direction. Monica goes limp in Paul’s arms. Franco dives for the gun pulling the trigger and shooting Paul. Franco gets up and is standing over Paul ready to shoot him for hurting Elizabeth, when Anna comes up and takes the gun away from him. PCPD comes in and carts off Paul. Jason comes in and helps Monica, as he does, she explains that she would not be there if not for Franco. Jason walks over to Franco and tells him that even though he did save his mother, they will never be friends.

Riddle me this, Sabs who was on the show for four years gets a funeral with other character attending and a song and Nicholas Cassadine, a twenty year character doesn’t get a funeral? Another reason folks, another reason!

I empathize any soap writer for certainly by reading comments it is impossible to make fans happy. People are constantly saying the cast is too bloated and get rid of people and focus on the core cast members. So they get rid of a character whose actor’s contract is up and has only been on the show 4 years and not even related to any core family and nothing but complaints. I liked Sabrina and the actress, but her time was up.

I think they know they messed up when they killed Sabrina. Especially with all of the fan backlash they are receiving because of it. The unnecessary 3 days it took to kill her-ridiculous! She could have been reduced to a recurring character. I don’t know what Amy and Felix are but they could have gotten rid of them instead of TeCa. What was the point of bringing her back just to kill her?!?! I think they know they messed up because they’re trying to give her a big send off to appease the fans, but it was just a mistake. Will Joe leave for good now, as well? Why bring him back as a new character? There’s no forethought with these writers. They lack the ability to think 3 or 4 steps down the road. They have no concept of consequences. Sabrina’s death was pointless-without meaning. And GH writers need to deal with the fact that sometimes the fans are going to figure out your weak writing plots. We all know the white haired doctor was originally the killer and fans figured it out, so now we have to suffer through this nonsensical roller-coaster of a storyline that needs to end, like yesterday. Soap fans are smart so instead of constantly insulting our ability to grasp the obvious, step up your writing game!!! It’s so simple. Do. Better. Write. Better. Fans. Deserve. Better.

Sabrina Santiago (Teresa Castillo) was a great character that was played with emotion by a fine actress. She reminded me so much of the Nola character from GL days – hoping for a brighter future with a nice guy. Shame on GH for letting her go so violently. Who cares whether she had any relatives on the canvas? Sometimes it is just nice to have good friends at work. GH could use a lot more of that! The former scenes of Sabrina showed just why she was fun and was someone to root for. Instead, we are left with a serial killer roaming the halls. Can we get better writers please?

This could easily be repaired if they wanted too. Sabrina’s body whisked away quick. Joe takes baby away very fast and with a smile which was odd. Like I mentioned before, this could be a storyline of the decade. Joe is really Carlos. They switched lives when Sabrina was being held in Puerto Rico. But Sonny and Michael saved her first. Carlos in the meantime is working on his revenge against Carlos and Sonny. He’s the one that found Sabrina first and injected her with a serum to lower heart rate to appear she was dead. Sabrina is hiding out with her baby but is extremely mad at Carlos and don’t want anything to do with him. Carlos finally tells her the truth that her mother is alive…….Lily Corinthos who has just arrived in PC to wreck havoc on Sonny who is her biological dad.

As I’ve posted before, I’m probably in the minority here, but Sabrina’s death wasn’t much of a loss for me. Sure, she was a good character and Teresa Castillo is a good actress, but I would have much rather seen Sabrina die as opposed to Elizabeth or Monica. She’s not a core character, and her absence for the past few months (due to TC’s paternity leave), was barely noticeable, because she didn’t bring much to the show.

However, the way they handled her exit was appalling. First of all, it was clear that Joe still had feelings for her, yet we didn’t get to see his initial reaction to finding out about her death because it was handled off screen. And are we REALLY supposed to believe that he whisked Teddy off without attending the funeral and saying goodbye?

All of the goodbye speeches lacked the emotional impact that a funeral is supposed to hold. Michael’s speech was cut off by Carly, Felix’s speech felt unfinished, and who were those three random extras in the back of the church? Epiphany’s song was nice, but it would have been better had it been accompanied by a montage of scenes that each character shared with Sabrina (Sabrina and Epiphany singing at the Nurses Ball, Michael and Sabrina taking care of Avery/Teddy, Felix and Sabrina laughing, etc.).

And I agree with a previous comment regarding Nikolas’ funeral being held off screen and everyone having a very minimal reaction to it. Regardless of if they thought Tyler Christopher was returning at the time, it still should have carried much more weight.

This just further shows how incompetent and lackluster GH’s writing team is. DAYS seems to go through an overhaul every few years, why can’t GH? But of course that won’t happen now since Jean and Shelly’s contracts have been renewed, for what ungodly reason, I don’t know. It doesn’t take a soap genius to see the hack job they did on Y&R during their tenure, and the disaster GH is turning in to with their writing.

Poor Carly.

If she had killed Sabrina herself, Michael would have forgiven her in a heartbeat. Just ask Sonny…
