Natalie, having caught John with the baby’s sonogram, tears it up, exploding at him because he can’t have it both ways. He tells her she’s made it impossible to come home, and anyway the father is Brody. She gives him back the engagement ring and exits with Brody. Marty runs into Vimal who’s waiting for Rama at Statesville. Vimal questions why Marty spent so much time in the genetics lab the night he switched the DNA results. Marty, leaving, drops the real DNA results for Natalie and grabs it before Cris can see it. Rama continues to lie to Vimal that she’s pregnant and Vimal tweaks Cris by saying something about Rama’s “delicate condition.” Tess and Cutter get steamy in the steam room until Ford enters. Ford orders Cutter to get his hands off his wife and threatens to tell Aubrey, Joey and Brody that Cutter is messing around with Tess. Cutter calls his bluff, saying he could blow the custody case sky high by exposing that Ford and Tess’ union isn’t a real marriage. Ford agrees he won’t tell anyone if Tess and Cutter decide to be together. Joey and Kelly have a huge fight over her relationship with John,   in Aubrey’s presence. Kelly stomps off and Aubrey, upset, asks Joey if he’s sorry he married her. Langston accuses Dorian of hiring Markko to direct David’s movie to get him back together with her. Langston and Markko agree they can work together, as upstairs Dorian and David make love, mull casting decisions, and agree that they can weather a long distance romance.

Starr is surprised to see Markko, and even more surprised when she learns Langston is leaving to write David’s movie. The best friends recall highlights of their relationship. Deanna has spent the night at James’ apartment. When James talks about the way Deanna dumped him, she reveals things weren’t what they seemed. Before she can elaborate, Starr shows up. When Joey seeks Viki’s marital advice, Viki is forced to confess the state of her own marriage. Charlie visits Echo and assures her that although he’ll stick by Viki while Ryder’s custody is being decided, he will be solely Echo’s thereafter for an out-in-the-open, honest relationship. Echo has a guilty pang, having lied to Charlie about his paternity of Rex. Charlie returns home and is forced to admit to Viki that he’s in love with Echo. Having gotten on to Aubrey and Cutter’s scam, Tess agrees to keep quiet if they cut her in on their action. Tess reveals that although Cutter is with Aubrey, she has no intention of letting him go. Kelly visits Clint for an interview about his release from jail, but the discussion turns to her relationship with Joey. Clint tells Kelly the tape he made had proof that Aubrey and Cutter were lovers out to rip off Joey. Without the tape, he suggests he and Kelly find a way to “help” Joey discover the truth about his wife.

Gigi and Rex try to figure out what to do about Shane. Shane explains why he never told them about the harassment. When Blair drags Jack there to apologize, Rex reveals Shane tried to commit suicide. Blair, who knows nothing about Shane’s suicide attempt, tries to get Jack to apologize to Shane, but he refuses. Tomas arrives, wondering if Blair thinks he shot Todd. Blair confesses that, because of Jack’s bullying, she feels she’s failed as a mother. Tomas tells her otherwise. After he leaves, she gets tough with Jack. Tea, her suspicion tweaked because of John, is interested when Dani tells her that Tomas had a mysterious envelope. After Tomas leaves, Tea sneaks into his room and Tomas catches her. Viki refuses Charlie’s offer to stick with her until Ryder’s custody is decided. They share a bittersweet goodbye. Starr meets Deanna and has a lot of questions for James.  Viki is forced to confirm to Clint that her marriage to Charlie is over because of his affair with Echo. Clint refrains from telling Viki that Echo knew all along Rex was his son and not Charlie’s. Clint tells Viki about Shane’s troubles with LHS bullies. Blair is upended when Rex informs that Jack’s bullying caused Shane to attempt suicide. Jack is defensive but rattled by the fallout of his reign of terror. Kelly relays to Dorian information she learned from Clint that Aubrey and Cutter are not brother and sister but conmen and lovers out to bilk the Buchanans. Dorian suggests Kelly use this information to land Joey. Kelly, though, has decided to wash her hands of the affair. Aubrey and Cutter each accuse the other of allowing Tess to wheedle her way into their plans. Tess and Ford continue to snipe at one another. Tess helps out when Ford is unable to soothe Ryder. Tess makes a move to further dismantle Viki’s pursuit of Ryder’s custody. Tess receives a visit from Cutter; the pair make no effort to conceal their attraction from Ford. Tomas catches Téa rifling through his things and is forced to explain why he has a trove of information on Todd – including a fair bit about his plastic surgery. Tomas covers and presumes that Téa’s curiosity was precipitated by a talk with suspicious John.

Dorian sees Access Llanview and gets whipped into a frenzy that charges against Clint have been dropped. Bo confronts Clint. Phyllis, on TV, says she’s about to drop a Buchanan bombshell. Clint goes to Rex to find out how Shane is doing but they end up in a huge fight with Rex resenting Clint’s suddenly caring when he did so much to reject Rex. Clint is horrified to learn Shane tried to commit suicide. Cristian visits Natalie to let her know that Marty is still carrying around her DNA test results. She tells Cris about her ending things officially with John. Phyllis mentions Cristian was seen with Rama at the prison. Marty asks John if he could change things and it turned out the baby was really his, would he forgive Natalie? Rama and Nigel indulge together in their mutual love of Phyllis Rose. But Rama is horrified when the item about her and Cristian airs.

Published

In one of the more far-fetched soap opera moments in recent memory, while Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) are chatting at the Quartermaine boathouse in swimming trunks for him and a bikini for her, the two exes have a heart to heart on Wednesday’s June 3 episode of General Hospital.

The moment was set-up by Michael (Rory Gibson) and Jacinda (Paige Herschell) who want to find a way to push the exes together in order to get incriminating evidence of the two, so Michael can gain leverage over Willow for full custody of their children. once and for all. Jacinda notes how Chase definitely has a savior and white knight syndrome going on.

During Willow and Chase’s chat at the boathouse, the subject turns to how Chase was demoted at the PCPD in his efforts to help get Willow acquitted of attempted murder charges at her trial for the shooting of Drew. He has since gone from detective to patrolman. However, Willow comes up with an idea! Why doesn’t he come to work for her as her chief of staff. Willow feels he would be perfect, because he is only one of the only people she can trust.

WILLOW LAYS OUT THE BENEFITS OF CHASE ACCEPTING HER JOB OFFER

A surprised Chase, says he isn’t qualified, but Willow thinks otherwise. She urges him to consider the position she is offering, because it would give him a more regular schedule that would be befitting for him being a new father to baby Phoebe.

Chase’s want to know why it was so important to Willow that he take the job, she continues to explain how she trusts him, but Tracy (Jane Elliot) spots the two in a close moment and hides behind the boathouse. Willow exits, but asks Chase to promise he will think over her offer.

Next, Tracy threatens Chase that this is the last time he will cheat on her granddaughter, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton). Knowing he didn’t “cheat” on his wife, Chase looks pissed off.

So, can you imagine, Chase as Willow’s Chief of Staff? Weigh-in if you think he will be stupid enough to take this job knowing the issues it would cause for Brook Lynn? Will the police officer ever get the clue that Willow is manipulating him like she does to everyone else? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn Threatens Willow to Stay Away From Chase or ‘It’ll Be the Last Breath You Take’

Published

on

By

After seeing her husband Chase (Josh Swickard) in an embrace with Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) through the window (and while on the way to bring Willow a gift), Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) attempt at delivering a ‘thank you’ to Willow goes south on the Friday, May 29 episode of General Hospital.

Brook Lynn was already primed for a showdown after Michael (Rory Gibson) warned his cousin that Willow offering to help and pull strings in Phoebe’s adoption is for Chase’s benefit not hers. It was at that point that Michael let her use his car since Brook Lynn’s car was in the shop, for her to drop off her gift.

As Brook Lynn got more agitated with Michael, the conversation turned further when he told her he was surprised she had the time to plan a musical showcase for Trina and take care of baby Phoebe since she’d missed Gio and Trina’s performance at Charlie’s. Michael’s wheels are turning, figuratively!

Meanwhile at Drew’s, Willow is admitting to Chase she doesn’t love her husband, she regrets marrying him and wants out of her marriage. Willow says she is ashamed how she treated Chase when she cheated on him with Michael. Chase said there were extenuating circumstances, but it all led him to Brook Lynn and baby Phoebe now. Chase gives Willow encouragement to trust herself and they hug, which is then spotted by Willow. So when Brook Lynn enters to give her thank-you gift to Willow she is also sweet in front of Chase.

MICHAEL’S GOT A NEW PLAN TO TAKE DOWN WILLOW

When Chase has to head out, Brook Lynn turns to Willow and says,”I’m very grateful for everything you are doing for us Willow. But if you so much as breathe on my husband again, it will be the last breath you take!” Could Willow be the next person on the receiving end of a ‘Who Shot Drew?’ mystery?

Michael tells Jacinda (Paige Herschell) his suspicion that Brook Lynn was the other driver in Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Jordan’s car accident. He believes if Chase learned Brook Lynn lied to him and covered up her part of the accident, he would go running to Willow.  Then Willow’s life will blow up on her as the scandal of her cheating on her invalid husband with her ex, that it would cause Willow to lose her Congressional seat. Michael reveals to Jacinda he wants all the power over Willow.

THE ETHAN AND DELILAH ART GALLERY CONNECTION

Meanwhile in Manhattan, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Ava (Maura West) went to the Hamnet Gallery and talked to the owner Apollo (in a guest start turn from Maxwell Caulfield.) The two talk about his former employee Delilah Wilson. At first, Apollo claims he didn’t know much about the young woman nor that she was pregnant.  Suddenly, Apollo steps away to make a call and its to Ethan (Nathan Dean)! He reports what is transpiring and confirms to Ethan he didn’t give the women any useful intel.

Later, Ava uses her charms and wiles to convince Apollo to give up some key information when she brings up the Quartermaine family promising a financial reward. With that, he backstabs Ethan and shows Ava and Alexis the photo of Ethan with his arm around Delilah’s shoulder.

In other developments, Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) seemed to get on the same page, when Valentin revealed he has developed genuine feelings for Carly, While he doesn’t know what the future will hold he wants her by his side, and she kisses him to seal the deal.

Elsewhere, Curtis and Portia (Brook Kerr) continue their heated battle over Curtis breaking and tearing Isaiah’s surgical hand, and Tracy (Jane Elliot) wants Ethan to be the “fixer” to ensure nothing happens that would come to light or take baby Phoebe away from her granddaughter and Chase.

So what did you think of Brook Lynn warning Willow to get her hands off her husband or else? Do you think Michael’s plan will drive Chase back to Willow? What is the connection between Delilah and Ethan? Is Phoebe their child, but what were they involved with that Ethan wants no trace of?

Do you think Willow might be “murdered” or have an attempt on her life, once Jack and Drew come out of their paralytic state and everyone else who she wronged might come after too? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below, but first check out today’s scenes featuring Maxwell Caulfield,

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kristina is Accepted into Medical School Paving Way for Kate Mansi’s Exit; What Do You Think of How She’s Being Written-Off?

Published

on

By

As promised by General Hospital on Tuesday May 26 episode provided the reason why Kristina Corinthos-Davis will be leaving Port Charles next month in order to accommodate Daytime Emmy winner Kate Mansi’s decision to exit the soap opera.

After telling Mansi told former Soap Opera Digest Editorial Stephanie Sloane in her newsletter that, “Now, it feels like the right time for both Kristina and me to step into new adventures,” that couldn’t have been prove more true, when Kristina’s life and story took a sharp turn out of nowhere.

During a conversation on today’s GH, Kristina is talking with her sister Molly (Kristen Vaganos) about Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) outside of Bobbie’s when suddenly Kristina gets a message notification on her phone. Next, Kristina underplayed the information, she received when she looked at the notification and announced, “I took a long shot, and just got accepted into medical school!”

Molly looks stunned, Kristina seemed like someone who just thought she would randomly throw her hat into the ring and see if it happens, as if wasn’t such a big deal, or maybe she is just underplaying her reaction for now. Certainly, for those who have applied to medical school, and have always wanted to be a doctor, this would be the most awesome news.

As to why all of a sudden the GH writers came up with this angle for Kristina’s exit story has yet to be explained on-screen with this being such a major career decision shift when Kristina just reopened Charlie’s. More is said to be revealed on tomorrow’s Wednesday, May 28 episode.

MEDICAL SCHOOL AS A VEHICLE TO WRITE OUT A SOAP CHARACTER

The move to have Kristina Corinthos-Davis become a doctor does give the show the leeway to bring back Kate Mansi a few years down the line with a new occupation and purpose if she ever wants to return to the show since GH executive producer Frank Valentini said in a statement that the “door is always open” for Kate to return. And as we also learned, there are no plans to recast the role at this time.

Kristina doesn’t have the greatest track record with academia having been expelled back in the fall of 2015 from Wesleyan, where she had been studying prelaw. That story eventually revealed itself where Kristina got suspended after offering to have sex with one of her professors in exchange for a better grade. The professor turned out to be Parker Forsyth played by Ashley Jones, and the two eventually were in a complicated relationship before breaking up.

Soap fans have always been tasked with suspending belief when certain reasons are written to precipitate characters exits when the audience already knows that the actor had decided to leave the show or needs a maternity leave, for example. Sometimes it makes some sense for the character and other times, it does not.

So, how do you feel about the reason why Kristina Corinthos-Davis will be written off the canvas as Kate Mansi wraps up her story on-screen? Do you think it fits the character? Like it? Don’t like it? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
