What Is Ahead for Jason and Sam?


Ron Carlivati, head writer says in SID, "I think Jason and Sam are a wonderful couple.  As a writer though, having a happy couple on a soap opera is a very difficult thing.  It can become stagnant.  You have to challenge the couple and test the relationship. There is a happy story to tell of a couple having a baby...but the story I have chose to tell is a different story, and its a little more complicated.  It doesn't mean I am not a fan of Jason and Sam because I am a big fan.  But that's the journey we are on. We're taking a ride with Jason and Sam, and they're going to go through all kinds of obstacle.  I understand that people love their couples.  The hope is that Sam and Jason will find their way back to each other in the end.  But...you never know."


Who Will Win Miss Personality?

Kelly Sullivan, "Connie always says how much of a fool Kate is and she feels many things about Kate that aren't positive, but she loves Kate and wants to help her. Ultimately, it's about finding out who's stronger. Connie is going to try to overpower Kate and take them over. 'Just have a seat, and let me do this.' Kate's going to have to find the strength to stop her, which is a beautiful story."

 Tracy makes plans to "take care of" her situation with Anthony.



Ewen is wounded and ends up in a coma.


Jason demands more info from Sam.
This week, tensions continue to roil between Jason and Sam as Jason absorbs the fact that Sam is carrying Franco's baby. Steve Burton is SOD, "One of the real struggles for Jason is 'How can I fathom raising this child as mine?' I mean , how can you even answer that question in a day? How can you answer it in a month? You have no idea what your reaction is going to be, especially because we're dealing with Franco, who's crazy.Is it going to be passed down to the baby? Is the baby going to have a behavioral problem?"  Burton himself clarifies that he (not talking Jason now) doesn't, "believe it is genetic. I think it's how you are raised and your environment growing up that pretty much defines who you are, the majority of times. But for Jason, I think there's some worry about this baby being crazy."

Ewen has Anthony's file.

Maxie’s friends continue attempting to stop her from destroying her life.

Can Felicia's return help Maxie?
Ron Carlivati in SOD, “Felicia’s return just fit nicely into the story of her daughter, Maxie, who dug herself into a pretty deep hole in the story we’ve been unfolding, in which she’s confessed to the murder of Lisa Niles.  As she gets deeper and deeper into that, it made sense to me that her mother might show up- even though we know she hasn’t always been there in the past! We are tremendously lucky that Kristina was amenable to coming back, and we’re excited about it.  Getting into the writing of it, you want to play Felicia’s history with Mac and Anna Devane now that we have her back on the canvas.  There are so many people she has ties with.  I think people are anxious to see her cross paths with those people and to see how everyone is going to react to having her back in town. I think especially, Mac because the relationship between Mac and Felicia was so big and it is 'their daughter', because he has been Maxie’s step-father for so long.”

Kristina Wagner, SID, "There are definitely some concerns with Maxie. The last time they saw each other, it ended badly and their relationship was eventually going to have to be cleared up. And Mac, too. She feels his resentment and wants to fix it."

 Michael has to talk Starr down from murdering his father in revenge, but that doesn't mean Starr's gun toting ways are soon to be forgotten. Starr's circumstances are so serious that her father and former stepmother race to Port Charles to help. Todd Manning is back and
Téa Delgado makes her General Hospital debut!



Felicia visits Mac.
Felicia's return to Port Charles could mean a reunion for her and Mac, if they can work through their hurt feelings from the past. They're certainly brought together by Spinelli's findings, when he presents evidence that could prove Maxie's innocence.


Jason finds Sam with McBain yet again.  Muses Ron Carlivati, head writer in SOD, "How many times can Sam run into this guy, confide in this guy before Jason cannot take it anymore? As we saw from the first minute, these two felt an instant bond, but it is complicated by the fact that we know John is out to get some kind of justice from Sonny, I don't think John sets out to do it intentionally, but is there any part of John that would try to worm his way in or try to use his relationship with Sam against Sonny's organization because Jason is so closely tied to Sonny? He is a rescuer of women and damsels in distress, and I think he is sincere, his desire to help Sam."


Both Todd Manning and Téa Delgado arrive in town to help Starr.
To back up a bit, since the time that Todd was last seen in Port Charles, he was tried for the murder of Victor Lord back in Llanview.  He was found to be not responsible for the crime due to his post-traumatic stress disorder (which was a result of being held captive for years). Téa however is furious over what she sees as Todd basically getting away with the murder of the father of her baby-to-be. It doesn't help that her rage is amped up by pregnancy hormones. Téa is annoyed by Todd's presence.  She believes he doesn't love his children, that he uses them, that he will likely hurt, more than help, Starr.

In the aftermath of Starr attempting to kill Sonny, Michael is not willing to look past it. In fact, he's more than willing to testify against her. Look for the parents of both young characters -- Carly, Todd, Tea -- to really mix it up on their kids' behalf. See what happens when Starr must plead guilty or not guilty.

In prison, Maxie admits to Matt this week that she's been covering up for his murder of Lisa. At the same time, Spinelli steps up in court to name Matt as Lisa's killer. The question is, can he convince Maxie to sign an oath swearing to it? Mac and Felicia sure hope so, but would Maxie really turn Matt in?

Elizabeth encourages Jason to mend things with Sam and be there for her and the baby.
Seeing Jason and Elizabeth together is difficult for Sam,who comes upon them talking as she heads to Lamaze appointment. 
Rebecca Herbst acknowledges in SOD, "It's totally understandable that Sam would be tweaked by seeing the two of them close together. They do share this undeniable, passionate history together...But it is unfortunate that she does not understand that all Elizabeth is doing is encouraging Jason to work things out with Sam."

Both Connie and Johnny claim responsibility for the tire shooting that led to the death of Cole and Hope.  Says Ron Carlivati in SOD, "One of them is obviously lying. This week you will find out who and why."

Behind bars, Kate resolves to find out if Connie did indeed cause the deaths of Cole and Hope, which leads to Sonny’s introduction to her other personality. Sonny asks Alexis to be Kate’s lawyer. Kate is aware that he’s done this for her, even though he doesn’t want to see her. This makes her more determined to figure out what Connie did. She knows that Connie is capable of physical violence, so she’s about as freaked out as one can get in the that situation. She’s isolated and scared, and she’s pretty sure it’s her (who shot out Anthony’s tires). Kate decides to be hypnotized but when the prison psychiatrist fails to show up at the appointed time, Sonny witnesses Kate yelling at Connie and runs in and there’s a big old surprise waiting for him in the room, Connie is there. According to Maurice Bernard those scenes had everyone in the room saying, "Holy Cow, that was really powerful.”  What transpires is heartbreaking.

Jason Cook
taped his last scenes on May 10th.

Sam remains loyal to her husband, but Jason is still distant.

John's friendship with Sam is encroaching on John's investigation of Sonny.
Sam and McBain come to see that they can't be friends; Sam must choose, Jason or John.

The reveal that Matt killed Lisa spells the end of Jason Cook's four year run in Port Charles. Look for him to last air in mid-June. Cook in SOD says, "I think it is funny. Sure he's leaving, so slap him with a murder charge on his way out of town(laughs).I didn't know he had it in him. But it was a good way to wrap up the storyline, which they wanted to wrap up for awhile. It makes sense. I get why Ron Carlivati did it." 

Hope remains eternal

Ripples of Franco.

Complex sibling relationships.

Two real, live babies.

The birth of Sam's baby is just the beginning.

Also, how far will Alexis go to defend Sonny?
What about Dante? Sam?

Alexis will have her hands full with all three of her daughters.

With
Téa's arrival, one can't hope wonder if Victor Lord will be next. Carlivati hedges, "We are not bringing him on this minute...Tea’s arrival reminds us that he is still out there. It would change everything in the dynamic between Starr, Todd and Tea’ if he were to return."  As for Trevor St. John who played Victor on OLTL, he tells SID that he misses his former co-stars, but he doesn't miss his job anymore.  Whether he would change his mind if directly asked to return, remains to be seen.

While there is still hope that the Nurse's Ball may return at some point down the road, don't expect to see it this June.  Says Carlivati in SID, "When the moment is right, we will definitely re-visit it.  I can't sign it in blood on the dotted line, but I would love to do it again."

Anthony Zacchara is not long for this world.

Lulu doesn't like Dante using the word "forbid".

When did Sam really conceive?

According to Ron Carlivati in SOD, for the time being, Felicia's return is open ended.  Apparently his team is working on scripts for June, he winks , "I can tell you that I am still writing her."
 
It is not out of the realm of possibility that Frisco might yet show up but the logistics of that have not yet been worked out.

McBain will make a discovery which will hit him where he is most vulnerable.  It will inevitably impact the nature of his relationship (for lack of a better term) with Sam.  He is protective of his family, as she is of her's. A line is drawn in the sand.

Patrick sinks into a depression.
Matt, Liz and Epiphany each pay Patrick a visit, urging him to get back to his life and his work.


Someone else is working with Heather, which will be revealed down the road.




Editors note: The question fans should naturally keep in mind, especially with Heather in town is- can the paternity results that Sam shares with Jason be trusted?  Food for thought: Do you remember Alan Q's will?  The one that Tracy and Luke played hanky-panky with?  Before they fooled with it, the will originally left his ELQ shares to Jason's biological children, should he ever have any. The last time Heather was in town, she was all up on the newly widowed Edward Q., hoping to marry into his wealth... And long, long, before that, she had her eyes on the Quartermaine's money and attempted to get custody of her murdered cousin Susan's child, Jason, and gain control of his trust fund!  One thing to keep in mind when it comes to Heather, the more things change, the more they stay the same (and trickery and blackmail are among her games). Three things have always motivated Heather Webber:  Greed, Insanity, and Revenge.

Without revealing any details of what is coming up for her character, Rebecca Herbst in SID shares that she is, "looking more forward now to where [Elizabeth] is going than I have been in a while."

Celebrate!  Finola Hughes is now on-contract with GH!
According to Frank Valentini, this was his big casting news that he tweeted about a week ago.
"As for the GH casting news, thanks for waiting... I am so excited to announce the lovely Finola Hughes is now on contract!"
However, that conflicts with what SID's Carolyn Hinsey hinted (see previous Rumorville item),
and oddly, SID insisted even after today's announcement that this wasn't "THE" big announcement.
UPDATE: Perhaps SID was thinking of this latest announcement, involving an actor from OLTL, see our News page)

Regarding Finola Hughes, Frank Valentini says in SID, "She has incredible heart that is enriching and will continue to enrich not only the show, but help this story move into this next arc."
Brandon Barash, Nancy Lee Grahn among others, "will have more to do".

Heather pays Tracy a visit.

Carly gleans info from Johnny's phone.

Molly, suspicious of Starr, asks for TJ's help.


Headwriter
Ron Carlivati confirmed via twitter that the bodies of Cole and Hope were not recovered.


McBain offers to dig into Heather's past accomplices.

Is Connie a threat to someone Johnny cares about?

I found this a tad confusing because it contradicts what we have been told from several reliable sources.  In an SOD item that focused on Kin Shriner, a GH source said that while they would love to have him back at some point, there is no plan to do so at this time.
  Not sure whats going on with that but I guess it means we won't be seeing Scott Baldwin in the near future after all.

Is it just me, or does the name "Polar Solar" remind anyone else of the "Ice Princess" Quartermaine/Cassadine story  ;-)  ?

Kristen Alderson's (Starr) contract with GH is for 3 years,

Michael Easton as John McBain is expected to be around for a minimum of 6 months.

Despite some net rumors that Bradford Anderson is leaving the show, he tweeted the following:  "I love spinelli rumor days.. Thank you everyone for getting fiery!!! Word upstairs is that I'm safe."
