GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kristina Annoys Molly and TJ with Her Offer to be Their Surrogate
The General Hospital recap for Friday July 14th finds Kristina (Kate Mansi) being too pushy, and Molly (Holiday Mia Kriegel), TJ (Tajh Bellow) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) on edge. Previously, Molly overheard Kristina suggest that she become TJ and Molly’s surrogate in a conversation with Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Alexis while at the Savoy.
The aftermath of that statement is now having a ripple effect through the family. First, Alexis wants Sonny (Maurice Benard) to talk her daughter down from this notion.
Meanwhile at GH, TJ tells Portia (Brook Kerr), Trina (Tabyana Ali) and the rest of the family that Curtis (Donnell Turner) has made it through the surgery. The operating physician, Dr. Bernstorff, reveals that although they were able to remove the bullet, there were complications … Curtis remains in the ICU, still unconscious at the moment.
Next, Kristina approaches both TJ and Molly sharing how relieved she is that Curtis made it through surgery. TJ gets angry and lashes out at Kristina that Curtis could have died! As he walks away, Molly pushes away her sister, telling her, “Not now!”
Later, Kristina finds Molly alone. She asks if TJ is okay. Molly fires back, “Not everything is about you!” Kristina is confused. Molly pipes up and says she overheard her offer at the Savoy to give TJ the baby she can’t. Molly goes on to say that, as always, Kristina is making everything about her, including this proposed surrogacy.
Kristina is taken aback. She claims she was not thinking about herself, but her little sister. She points out she was willing to give up a year of her life to carry a baby to term for her, and yet, Molly is accusing her of being the selfish one.
Not wanting to continue the conversation because of Curtis’ condition, Molly asks Kristina to drop the subject, but Kristina won’t let up. TJ finds them arguing in the hallway of GH and asks them to keep it down. Alexis arrives out of the elevator, as Kristina blurts out she is clearly not good enough to be their surrogate and God forbid, the baby should turn out like her, and storms off.
So, are you annoyed with Kristina? Does this storyline annoy you? Are you intrigued to see how it would play out with Kristina as the surrogate for Molly and TJ, or do you want someone else to be their surrogate? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Do not like this new Molly. Even though Kristina can be a pest and obnoxious, she means well and comes on like a Mack truck. Subtly is not her thing. I’m glad she just walked away from them, they treat her like crap! I’m dying to see Molly fall off that high horse she’s on, such an uppity twit.
Violet, my friend, where do I begin? Everything you noted is true but… I’d rather watch paint dry than see any of these characters on my screen. The show is in one of those occasional troughs when every story is either: (1) dull beyond words, (2) moving slower than Dante’s brain cells, and/or (3) involves behavior that’s so repulsive (Tracy’s and Gladys’ stories) you can’t even enjoy watching it. For once, Y&R is more watchable than these tawdry tales.
No more baby hungry storylines! Even if it were the original actors playing these roles, I’d be fast forwarding through them. I never liked Molly so I’m not upset about the replacement. They should have just written Molly off the show.
Exactly right!
Sosphound,
Boy, are you right. While GH has always been one of my favorites, I have to say a lot of the players are not , especially Gladys, Tracy, Nina, Carly, Maxi, Kristina, Molly, Sam, Joss, Trina, Portia Ms.Wu, Sasha’s new letch Dr.,et all , bad spelling here, sorry. I won’t bore you with any more, didn’t realize there was that many that I couldn’t stand. I shouldn’t be watching, just habit I guess. Poor Dante, yes his brain is slow, how is he a cop?
I agree with most of the characters you dislike, Violet. I do like Nina but not with Sonny. She did a naughty thing but Carly and Drew deserved it—they did baaad!! LOL. Nina is just misunderstood —She’s been victimized my her own mother—if that doesn’t leave scars within one’s being, I don’t know what does. Carly is simply trash—no better word to describe her. And, Joss is following in her footsteps. Maxie is OK—I don’t know about the hair and eyebrows, though.
Yes, Soaphound—you said it!! Y&R is so much more watchable than GH these days.
Molly is another iffy character—no charisma—as far as Kristina, Kate is handling the character better than I expected.
Dante’s brain cells? Not Alighieri’s, right? LOL. He did modify Latin into Italian, afterall——Oh, you mean that Dante.
Please, please GH writers wrap up at least 1 storyline !!! Too many going on an am losing interest in the whole show !!
How do you wrap up a story when you don’t know who’s showing up to play the characters from one week to the next?
This would have been an awkward story even without recasts.

After much speculation, General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) and Cady McClain (ex-Jennifer, DAYS, ex-Rosanna, ATWT, ex-Dixie, AMC et al) have officially confirmed and announced they have gone their separate ways and have ended their marriage.
For months on social media, it was clear that the two were seemingly apart, not appearing pictured in any of each others posts.
Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart. After serious consideration we have decided that our goals have been taking us in different directions and to end our marriage.”

As to the future, Jon and Cady explained, “We remain friends and wish each other every happiness. As people who work in the public eye, it can be difficult to have a private life. Regardless, we ask for your kind consideration in this matter.”
Jon and Cady met when they both appeared on As the World Turns, he as Craig Montgomery, and she as Rosanna Cabot. After four years together, the couple decided to get married in 2014.

In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.
Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support. I don’t take it for granted for a second! (Even when I can’t answer 😊) #generalhospital”

Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.
So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other
The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.
Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).
When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.
Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.
What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
