GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly to Drew, “How Do I Live In a World Where Nina Gets to Exist and My Mom Can’t?”
On Thursday’s January 4th episode of General Hospital, after months and months, and months, Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) learn that it was Nina (Cynthia Watros) who turned them into the SEC, and turned their world upside down.
Nina arrives on Carly’s doorstep. Carly is grieving the news of the loss of her mother, Bobbie. When she arrives, Nina admits she is the one who turned Carly and Drew into the SEC. Carly blames Nina for Drew’s prison beat down. Eventually, Carly figures out that Nina got busted and Sonny (Maurice Benard) knows the truth, also.
While Nina tries to explain how angry she was at Carly from keeping the truth about both her daughters, Nelle and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), it’s not landing right with Carly in any way. They argue until Carly yells at Nina, calling her a “selfish bitch.” Nina says she’s there tonight to just try to make things right. Carly says she’ll never forgive her.

Drew walks in on the conversation, and Carly tells him that Nina called the SEC on them. Drew says if she wasn’t a woman, he would physically hurt her. He calls her “vile” and a “hypocrite.” Nina reminds them they committed a crime. Carly tells her to stop, as she can’t deal with this right now since Bobbie just died, and kicks her out.
An emotionally overwrought Carly collapses in Drew’s arms and says, “How do I live in world where Nina gets to exist and my mom can’t?”
Later, after Michael (Chad Duell) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have a falling out over his deception regarding Nina, he receives a phone call from Drew, as does Josslyn (Courtney Fulk). They both head over to Carly’s where they learn their grandmother, Bobbie has died.
Sonny, who headed to the church after Nina confirmed she lied and turned Carly and Drew into the SEC, runs into a smug Cyrus (Jeff Kober). Next, Cyrus says he helped Nina find her way as a husband and wife should not lie to each other. Sonny punches him in the face. Cyrus says he forgives him. But then, Sonny continues to beat him up, hoping Cyrus will fight back.

Cyrus lands at GH unconscious when Laura (Genie Francis) and Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) show up to check on him. Sonny is home in the dark, when Ava (Maura West) walks in after her confrontation with Nikolas (Adam Huss).
Ava sees he is in a dark place with blood all over his hands. Nina shows up, but Ava warns her Sonny is in bad shape. Sonny sees Nina at the door as she says she told Carly and Drew the truth and he slams the door in Nina’s face. We fade to black.
What did you think of the long-awaited showdown between Nina and Carly and Drew? Are you glad that finally the cat is out of the bag with the “SEC” storyline? Comment below.
I was swearing at my television as Carly and Drew spewed their idiotic hate rhetoric and took NO RESPONSIBILITY for their criminal actions! I can’t stand them and I LOVE NINA! She did nothing wrong! I am so sick of how the writers (and producers) mistreat Nina and put “Queen Carly” at the center of the show. I realize it’s only Laura’s version of Carly that I hate, she’s so shrill and self-righteous – she gets on my last nerve! Team Nina one million percent!!!!! (Cynthia Watros is slaying it though! )
Agreed 100% Freeman!
Carly’s running true to form. Not to minimize what she’s going through with Bobbie’s death (and much of what she said to, and about, Nina is spot on), but she could equally be asking how she should deal with a world in which SHE still exists but Bobbie doesn’t. It would be an equally appropriate question.
But then, if she were as hip to her own shortcomings as she is to those of other people (especially women) she doesn’t like, she . . . wouldn’t be Carly.
Carly is incapable of engaging in self-reckoning.
I am not picking team Nina or team Carly… but I did love Sonny slamming the door !
Ava’s tending to Sonny was the kindest.
I loved that scene too and I liked Lois, his old friend trying to be just that again. Did I read the last scene wrong or what? When Sonny saw Dante and the other cops, why did he look so bewildered as to why they were there?
Sonny is falling apart without Nina after only a day. He needs to tell her he loves her and wants her home.
This version of Drew is completely unrecognizable vs the Biller Miller version. There’s nothing to root for in the writing nor Cameron’s portrayal.
I’m really sick of Drew, etc. being compared to Billy Miller, whom I adored as much as everyone else. There was only one of him, so let it be. These other actors aren’t cloned, nor should they be in Billy’s image. Let Cameron do HIS version of Drew, actually knowing Billy will never play him again, can you think of another actor that would/could portray him better? This is a legitimate question, I’d like an answer to.
Cameron’s Drew is what would happen if Anthony Robbin’s had Pat Boone’s baby. He’s the worst.
CM’s acting is awful. He is playing himself on GH. This isn’t Drew. It’s not a character anymore. They only trot him out to show off his abs. I hope Jason’s return will lead to Drew written off. Carly and Drew are a terrible couple.
Haters be damned. I want to see Sonny realized that Nina was telling him the truth when she said she was on her way to the Savoy to confess. Wait until he finds out Nina confessed to Cyrus, thinking he was the priest! Fireworks. In the meantime, Sonny should realize Nina did nothing he or Carly haven’t done and been forgiven for. Nina FINALLY swallowed her pride/fear and confessed to everyone. Like it or not, that takes guts. Now, she’ll have to face the music and move on. I just want it to be with Sonny’s forgiveness.
Rodd, you’re right but I’m afraid that the writing is geared to prop up Carly while repeatedly kicking Nina in the gut.
Seriously Harry….
Nina went to Carly’s house to gloat and whine on the night Carly found out her mother died. Now who is kicking who in the gut here?
Horrifically bad timing and writing. Nina’s non-crime was revealed the same day as Bobbi’s death is revealed? Then Carly gets to utter those awful lines? Let the Nina pile-on continue while the Carly propping reaches new heights.
Most unlikable and least sympathetic couple in daytime no matter how hard the writers push them as the victims they are not. CM is terrible on GH. He needs to move on full time to Hallmark Junior. Carly is all snarls and stomping. She is a domineering hypocrite shrew. Nina comes off as the one to cheer no matter what the writers tell us to feel. Sonny loves her and needs to forgive. They are good together. CW puts softness into her portrayal. LW is too much bull and bluster in her portrayal.
Jane and Ted, I don’t think the Nina haters will be satisfied until Nina is stoned to death by all the Port Charles citizens like the woman in Shirley Jackson’s short story,” The Lottery.” The writing is so slanted in Carly’s favor at the expense of Nina that many viewers are tuning out. It’s just not fun to watch Carly continue to gloat in a halo of self- righteousness with not one iota of self-awareness or regret for all the pain she’s inflicted on others.
It reminds me of the god father when Pacino Slams the door on. Keaton’s face
Lois is a Big mouth Trouble maker who loves Twisting. The knife in Sonny’s back go back on your broom stick and take. Brooke Lynn with you
Not too keen on her myself.
love to see Sonny & Carly reunite once again Too bad Sonny didn’t Kill Cyrus. He deserves. It
I don’t know what to think anymore. Is he faking all this Bible thumping stuff and whether or not, to what end? What is he getting or hope to get? He almost got beaten to death, which he asked for, so is he willing to almost lose his life to get Sonny.I’ts killing him that Laura is so close to him, he being a racketeer and all.
Cyrus is no more of a Christian than I am.
Religion is one of the biggest cons on the planet. Now this ain’t the Devil making fun of the truly spiritual folks here… I’m talking more like the Jerry Falwell/Pat Robertson/Oral Roberts types.
And I’ll bet you can’t guess where those guys are right now.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
