GENERAL HOSPITAL: Are You For or Against Kristina Being the Surrogate for TJ & Molly’s Baby Knowing the Storyline Implications Down the Road?
As many GH viewers have predicted, things have swung back around to Kristina (Kate Mansi) seemingly being the most viable option in Molly’s (Kristen Vaganos) mind to carry her and TJ’s (Tajh Bellow) baby as their surrogate.
If you recall, Kristina offered a few months back and was shut down by Molly, and then TJ, as the couple then went looking through agencies to find a surrogate to carry their baby to term. The surrogate they found, Andrea, told TJ she lost the baby in a miscarriage, which was confirmed by a doctor at Mercy Hospital, and she won’t go through trying to have a baby again. Leaving the couple devastated. But, is her story suspicious?
Last week on General Hospital, Molly was overwhelmed when having to look through a file to start the process of finding a surrogate and identifying the right candidate all over again and it brought her to tears. Kristina found her in the park, and that led the two to have a heart-to-heart conversation. While the two sisters have come to an agreement, now it comes to convincing TJ that this is the right move.

However, fans of the show can see how complex this will be for everyone down the line. If Kristina’s relationship with Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) moves further down the line, will she be so willing to give her sister the baby? Could there be an ugly court battle for the little one between two moms vs. TJ and Molly? Will Kristina having their child, bring TJ and Kristina actually closer together, and cause rifts in Molly’s relationship with her man and her sister? What does the long-running soap opera have in store in the storyline by making Kristina the ultimate surrogate? Or, could Kristina lose the baby, only to find out that Andrea, the original surrogate has TJ and Molly’s child? So many possibilities.

Soap Opera Digest spoke to Kristen Vaganos on where Molly’s head is at with the situation. Vaganos shared, “I think there’s a little bit of desperation there, wanting to take a route that might be more trustworthy. (Surrogacy is) such a hard process to put trust and hope into because anything can happen. And Molly is a control freak! She wants to control as much as she can, so having a relative involved is, I think, comforting in a way.”
In terms of how Molly will re-approach TJ with Kristina being the prospective surrogate, Vaganos added, “Molly knows that it’s going to be an uphill battle, convincing him. Kristina’s track record with TJ is what it is. But it’s another leap of faith that Molly wants to take, and she just wants TJ to be on board with her. Plus, I think that TJ will really trust Molly’s opinion because Molly knows her better than anybody, and Molly would be the first person to doubt Kristina, to make sure to double-check her work. So if Molly says that she really feels strongly about this and thinks it’s the right decision, I think that’ll go a long way. I think TJ will take that to heart. But unless he’s on board with it, too, it’s a nonstarter.”
So, how do you see this playing out and what do you want to see? Are you in favor of Kristina being the surrogate for Molly and TJ’s baby? Are you for or against it, and what it could mean for long-term story implications? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.
BAD idea!!!!!! They don’t get along now! How will it be when Kristina constantly puts her two cents in and may want parental rights? Can you say Devon from Y&R, when he was the donor for Abby & Chance and Mariah who formed an attachment to the baby.
Bad. New Kristina is growing on me, and newest Molly is ok… but I do skip over this storyline. No part of it holds my interest.
So, everyone knew this is where they were going months before the writers’ strike and now, we’re here. We all know TJ and Molly will have Kristina as their surrogate. The questions are how things pan out as the child grows up. How picky will Kristina be with Molly & TJ’s choices? Will she interfere with them raising the child? We all know there will be contention. Not sure I’m invested in such a story. But there may be others out there who can relate. We’ll have to see.
Since this family is in each other’s pockets, mom and Sam included, you know Kristina will have her nose in Molly and T.Js ways of raising that baby. Also Blaze will have some in-put also since she assuredly will be a part of Kristina’s life going forward.
The main idea of will Kristina want a voice in raising this kid? Of course, or she wouldn’t be Kristina who gets her nose in everything now, can you imagine knowing she’s the “real” mother?
don’t care for new Molly or this storyline
I don’t like her either.
The story may be lacking but Kristen Vaganos as Molly was a case of third time’s the charm in recasting. She’s believable as Kristina’s sister and more mature to play the courtroom scenes as ADA.
Kristina is a good choice for the story line but what about finding out that the original one never miscarried too? Wouldn’t that spice it up in two different directions? All at the same time!
I agree the first surrogate probably didn’t miscarry. That’s why she said she went to Mercy Hospital.
Well… unless the surrogate’s husband happens to be a black man, that would be all too obvious when the baby was born, and looked like TJ.
So for that reason, I doubt they’re going with the story angle. My thinking is that Kristina was going to be the real surrogate all along, but when the writers strike happened, the scab writers were told to put the story “on hold” and not proceed with it until the real writers could do the story. So rather than back burner the storyline entirely, they came up with the other surrogate to fill time.
Of course the 40 year old fake Molly recast who was on screen at the time made the whole thing more ridiculous anyway. This latest recast is better than her, at least. Though I’d be lying if I said I didn’t hope Haley came back, once her legal & substance issues are resolved.
It is very refreshing to read you do have a bit of compassion and forgiveness in your heart Satan for Haley’s legal and substance issues.
Well, in my line of work you meet all kinds of (former) mortals who have made all kinds of mistakes. And there’s a whole lot of folks down here who really didn’t have to be, if maybe some of their fellow mortals hadn’t kicked them while they were down. In Haley’s case, she’s certainly young enough to turn her life around.
I know the old saying goes “To err is human, to forgive divine”. I pretty much gave up the dvinity thing a long time ago, but forgiveness can be unholy too, at least in this part of Hell.
I predicted that Kristina was going to be the surrogate months ago..
Cannot stand either Molly or Kristina characters! I don’t blame the actresses, but I’ve been fast forwarding whenever they are on screen which has been way too much.
Gee, I thought I was the only one doing that.I liked Kate Mansi in DOOL but not as Kristina particularly and this Molly is utterly boring, making poor TJ boring as well.Might as well add Blaze while we’re at it, zzzźz, she completes the snooze fest.
This whole SL has got to be the worst and most boring of anything. First of all, baby or not and who’s having it, who cares? Looks like Kristina is getting cold feet now especially knowing Blaze is waiting for her in the possible throes of romance, yuk! Hate the whole idea and waste of time that could be spent on some of the possibilities, etc.
dont appreciate blaze or any two females together hate to stop watching but it is sickning have a real story sony and carly in bed caught by nina
So, adultery isn’t sickening? But two characters with real feelings for each other is. OK, then. Would organized crime make you stop watching? Is that too sickening? What about torture? Is murder sickening? So sickening you would stop watching? I know what I find sickening right now, and it has nothing to do with what’s onscreen on the show.
Hopefully you can FF as I do, or just leave the room for a few minutes. I could care less what their association is but Im sure as hell not watching it!
Maybe you should switch to The Bold & Beautiful, which despite focusing on fashion in LA has no gay characters. Or, you can just stick with Fox News or old reruns of Ozzie & Harriet.
Diversity and inclusion is a wonderful thing.
we all can’t stand Kristina and Molly. they can’t act at all. the worst storyline in GH.
and the worst is lesbians storyline. i fast
forward when kristina and Blaze come on.
please delete Molly and especially Kristina
she can’t act at all. it’s a awful.
Speak for yourself. Both actresses are seasoned actors. Kate Mansi, who plays Kristina, used to be on Days and has done a lot of other work. Kristen Vaganos who plays Molly has also been in other things as well. I liked, and still like, Lexi Ainsworth and never thought I’d be okay with another actress in the role of Kristina. I was wrong; Kate has made it her own. Haley Pullos comes off as entitled in real life and came off entitled as Molly. I was thrilled “Molly” hadn’t been on in a long time and then thrilled again when I found out shed’ been recast. I finally like the character again.
Nonsense. Kate Mansi (who now plays Kristina) won a daytime Emmy while on Days of our Lives. Kristen Vaganos as Molly has rejuvenated that character. They are totally believable as sisters.
FF the same sex stuff if you choose but know they’re not going away.

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.
