It’s astounding when you realize how far back and how connected and beloved the characters of Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Felicia Jones Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) truly are. It was very apparent on the Thursday, August 21st episode of General Hospital, as we, the viewers, see a mother grappling with memories of the BJ heart transplant storyline which saved her daughter’s life decades ago, while in the present trying to keep it together as Maxie lays in coma.

The story arc gave a chance for everyone in Maxie’s life to put aside old wounds, disputes, and reflect on their own behavior in this time of crisis. As the episode begins, Maxie is still in a coma after demos a new face mask cream on her face during Home & Heart and collapsing. After almost dying of heart failure, she was saved by Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), and nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and their ER team.

Meanwhile, Lulu (Alexa Havins) is finally having a reckoning. She realizes her behavior since she herself woke up out of a coma after four years has hurt the likes of Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), and so she goes about making amends to each of them. Brook Lynn feels bad as well, because she wanted to hang around at the hospital to be there for Maxie, but she left because of Lulu.

FOR OUR BEST FRIEND

Fast-forward Lulu calls Brook Lynn over to Maxie’s and says they need to put aside their differences and be there together for their best friend. Meanwhile, Cody (Josh Kelly) is down in the dumps as he speaks to Tracy (Jane Elliot) about seeing Maxie with tubes in her and in a coma, and Felicia in emotional distress over her daughter. He reflects on how he should have told the truth about Mac (John J. York) being his biological father sooner, because now he could lose his sister.

Later, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit and sees a shirtless Cody at the stables, and he is about to confess he’s not such a nice guy, and that he was paid to seduce her by Kristina. But, will he go through with that?

Back at the hospital, Obrecht comes to bring flowers for Maxie and Felicia asks her to stay, because she is also family. Remember, the late Nathan West (the now returning Nathan West in a mystery role) was Liesl’s son and married to Maxie, and the father to James.

DREW, WE ARE THROUGH

And there’s Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), who has the tables turned on him by Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), when he refuses to sign a court document that he witnessed Michael (Rory Gibson) hitting Drew in the face. In turn, Drew fires him, because Martin won’t help him from his despicable act against Stella Henry (Vernee Watson). Drew tells Martin he just lost his meal ticket to pay for the spousal support for all his ex-wives.

Drew threatens Michael, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and ADA Turner (Nazneen Contractor) and exits and heads to GH to find Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), to let her know that Michael punched him in the face and that Wiley told him that he misses his mother. Willow wants to do anything to get her kids back, she even seems to be hedging towards whatever plan Drew is coming up with to bring down Michael and get her kids. This is noticeable when Drew hugs her, but the look of uneasiness on her face and not hugging him back with feelings was apparent. Just then, Nina (Cynthia Watros) catches the moment through the door window.

So, sid the moments with Kristina Wagner make you reach for the hankies as a mother praying her child wakes up? Are you glad Lulu made some effort to make amends? With Curtis vowing to stop Drew at the end of the episode, is this the beginning of the end for Congressman Cain, and are we about to embark on an attempted murder mystery or the real thing?

Drew is #Dragon Chow by Labor Day.

Bet your soul on it!

Nice to see Felicia finally getting a chance to shine and not be just a “talk to”. It did harken back memories to the BJ heart transplant. If John York was in the episode, they could’ve used a flashback to the 90s. They also could’ve worked the scene in yesterday when Lucy told Felicia that it was BJ’s heart.

They did revisit the heart transplant when Storms first joined the show. That story fell flat because JFP’s treatment of KW, resulting in the misfortunate recast of Sandra Ferguson as Felicia.

Yes Michael, seeing Felicia go though what she’s going through with Maxie again is heartbreaking and knowing what Kristina Wagner has been through in her personal life makes it all more sad to see on air, I”m just curious to see how all this will play out out since we know Kirsten Storm said herself she’s done filming for the year, and with Ryan Paevey returning and if as Nathan? what is going on? also interesting to note how Maxie storyline is affecting so many characters on the show, so its riveting. And then there’s Drew, I have to say, I’m really enjoying Drew as a villain or I should say Cameron Mathison playing a villain, it just creates so much Drama daily with the list of enemies that keep being added to the list, I’m really enjoying it because its not boring this guy has me screaming at my screen, laughing too when he doesn’t get his way, and thats what makes it fun, we getting to see these back and forth like tennis match with all his rivals and its good soapy fun, I do not want this to go in the direction of someone killing off Drew, especially because it would be a waste of killing off a good villain and all the suspects on the show I don’t want any of the characters written off unless its a who tried to kill Drew storyline and the suspect ends up being Tai, because he did Trina wrong. haha,

I feel bad Kristina Wagner has to do these types of scenes after having lost her son. It can’t be easy. Bless her. She’s such a a pro. I love the Scorpios.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum Kidnaps Obrecht as Britt’s Replacement to Finish Faison’s Final Project

Published

WSB director Ross Cullum is truly as despicable villain as they come, and played with steely intensity by Andrew Hawkes. For the double agents latest crime, you need to look no further than the Friday, June 5 cliffhanger of General Hospital, where in the episode’s final moments he sneaks up on an unassuming Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) after hiding in the back seat of her car.

Next, he chloroforms her with his intent clear. He plans on forcing her to finish the last leg of Faison’s final project at Wyndemere, since her daughter Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) left town with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in tow to get away from Cullum!

In what led to the kidnapping, Cullum had a terse conversation with his business associate and co-conspirator on the project, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). It is Sidwell who is preoccupied with wanting to bring Marco’s killer to justice (not knowing it’s the man right in front of him!). Sidwell told Cullum if bringing Marco’s killer to justice wasn’t a priority for the WSB director, then why should protecting Cullum be a priority for him?

SIDWELL VS. CULLUM

The two finally put aside their differences as they have to complete Faison’s final project for it will be highly lucrative for them, useful for their mutual gains, and groundbreaking. In order to do that they need a great mind with a scientific background to finish it up and get them to the finish line since Britt as disappeared.

Later, outside of “General Hospital,” Obrecht is headed back to her car after searching Britt’s office for any clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. But when she got in the car to drive away, that’s when the aforementioned Cullum strikes!

BROOK LYNN GETS ADVICE FROM A FORMER ADULTERESS

In other key developments, after Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) keeps inserting herself into Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) life, all with the seeming pretense to pay back Chase for helping her clear her name at the trial, and standing by her, she brings good news in person about baby Phoebe’s adoption to Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) law office to Chase. Once Brook Lynn heard Chase was on her away over with paperwork, she decided to hightail it out of there for an “emergency” appointment for Deception.

As we come to find out, Brook Lynn meets up with Lucy (Lynn Herring) at the Metro Court pool, She then proceeds to inform Lucy about Willow sniffing around he husband. Lucy says she knows a thing or two about being an adulteress. Brook Lynn wants Lucy to help her send a clear message to Willow to stay away from her husband, or else!

Now below, check out the scenes before Obrecht was kidnapped where she visited Willow, Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) and suspects Willow is up to no good.

Then let us know, with Lucy taking Brook Lynn under her wing, what plot do you think the two will come up with against Willow? What do you think will happen to Obrecht? With Lucas also at Wyndemere trying to bait Sidwell into an attempted murder charge, will he winds up thrown in the secret room with Josslyn?
