Viewers said goodbye to Chad Duell as Michael flew to Germany for treatment. Do the writers need to bring him home sooner rather than later? Is it time for Jack and Carly to turn up the heat? Meanwhile, Sidwell is making his rounds in Port Charles, but what’s his agenda? Let’s discuss in this week’s General Hospital commentary for the week ending January 24, 2025.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Dear readers, I admit that I am having a hard time focusing on General Hospital and my other soaps. Sure, my ADHD brain has a hard time focusing on anything, but these days, ever more so. Only 4 days in, and I have already lost count of how many times my local news has interrupted my soaps with \u201cBreaking News,\u201d which is not breaking news — just absolutely insane developments that I can\u2019t do a thing about. It\u2019s giving me great anxiety.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for me, my husband got my old decrepit DVD player to work again, so I can watch the gazillion movies I own without having to turn on the TV when it starts to overwhelm my heart. It\u2019s a delicate dance between staying informed and staying sane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you came here for General Hospital and not my social commentaries, so let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second chance in Baden-Baden, Germany<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carly arrived in Germany with Michael, and I hoped we would find Dr. Liesl Obrecht working at the burn clinic. I really miss Kathleen Gati. I know it will be a while before we see Michael again, but when he eventually comes home, I hope it is Liesl who healed him. That would ingratiate her to Carly and Sonny for all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assuming of course that Sonny is around by then. His stubborn insistence to avoid hospitals after three heart episodes makes me worry about his long-term prospects. I am glad he didn\u2019t go to General Hospital though, because Cyrus would absolutely try to break in and kill him. Despite being removed from the volunteer list, Cyrus still managed to break into General Hospital and inject Michael\u2019s IV with Digitalis. Doesn\u2019t GH have security cameras? It seems like people are always wandering around there unseen and unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack and Carly romance <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I loved that Jack Brennan — and his sexy Aussie accent — showed up for Carly. But I am tired of the slow burn and want things to heat up. If they are going to be a couple, let them get it on already! Although Anna doesn\u2019t trust Jack, where it concerns Carly, I do trust him. He seems to genuinely care for her and continues to show that rather than say it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael’s journey on General Hospital<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Readers, I miss Michael already. He was the glue in the Corinthos family. Michael is the person who could talk sense into Kristina, Sonny and sometimes even Carly. How will they make rash decisions without him? I understand why Chad Duell<\/strong> wanted to take a break from GH, but I hope he will eventually come back. The powers that be said no recast was coming, so I doubt we will see Robert Adamson filling in again as he has done in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll also miss Michael because he was the person standing in the way of Drew bulldozing his way through town, taking over everyone\u2019s lives. I think Tracy hit the nail on the head during Friday’s episode when she said that Willow had more Nelle in her than she wanted to admit. Certainly, Nelle was cruel and calculating in a way Willow isn\u2019t, but can\u2019t you see her getting there? If the Quartermaines keep her away from her kids, what lines would Willow cross to get them back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time for the truth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m getting impatient waiting for the day when Willow finds out that Drew was sleeping with Nina. Do we have to wait until next November sweeps to drop that bombshell? Most likely the writers will just forget it ever happened like Sonny murdering Jagger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel cheated that Michael asked for Sasha and never got to see her. I wanted that conversation and closure. I wanted Michael to tell Sasha that she could go to Jason for help. But instead, we just got more of the whiny, whimpering Willow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sasha’s new beginning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What is next for Sasha? I can\u2019t see her carrying on as the Quartermaine cook. Will she go back to Deception? And if so, will she get along with Lulu? I hope that the talk Brook Lynn, Maxi and Lulu had is the gateway to a fresh start. I wasn\u2019t really feeling it when Lulu came back after her coma screeching at Brook Lynn over her prior sins. Hopefully they can put the past behind them and maybe become friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brook Lynn’s secret <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But there is one small problem and his name is Gio. There is buzz that Gio is the son that Brook Lynn gave up for adoption — unbeknownst to her — and that Dante is possibly Gio\u2019s father. It seems that Lois and Sonny intervened on Gio’s behalf. Lois stayed in Gio’s life and Sonny financed his music lessons because he is their grandchild. This storyline is coming to us drop by drop. We see a sideways glance here and there, and then we don\u2019t see Gio for weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure when the truth will be revealed. Mind you, this is all just speculation, but after 40+ years of soap viewing, I\u2019m fairly adept at following the breadcrumbs on General Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natalia needs to move on<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The one mystery I can\u2019t solve yet is why is Natalia still here? I didn\u2019t see her for a while and was hopeful that she had been written out, but this week, there she was again. I’d rather see Sonny with almost anyone else. I just can\u2019t get into those two as a couple. Am I wrong? If I am, convince me. What am I missing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another General Hospital icon gone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As I watched the scenes with Tracy talking about Monica, my heart ached for Jane Elliot and all the other General Hospital cast members who lost a personal friend in Leslie Charleson. I know they film in advance, so it seems as if those scenes were probably written before her death. Readers, I swear I know fact from fiction, but if Willow takes the kids away from the Q\u2019s and breaks Monica\u2019s heart to the point of death, I will hate Willow forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a story to tell there. In the GH world, Monica is old and frail and has been battling a health crisis. Monica\u2019s grandson Michael was the victim of a violent explosion aimed at Sonny. Monica wants to keep her great grandkids close to keep them safe and out of Sonny\u2019s enemies\u2019 path. Monica wants to protect them for Michael until he comes home. If Willow leaves and takes the kids, Monica might have a nervous breakdown or worse. She has lost so much already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in real life, Leslie is gone. We only hear about Monica from Tracy, the perfect mouthpiece for her long-time costar and soapy sister-in-law. It will be interesting to see how this all progresses. If Willow tries to take those kids to Washington, D.C. with Drew, she\u2019s in for the fight of her life. The Q lawyers, and Carly and Sonny will go after Willow like a roaring hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s best for Avery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sonny is already involved in one custody battle — the fight for Avery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear readers, do you think Sonny was weakening? I think Ava almost convinced him to let Avery stay with her. As much as Sonny hates Ava, he has to look at his life right now and see that Avery is in danger if she\u2019s with him. He knows that someone is definitely out to kill him, and Sonny also has a heart condition that could render him helpless at any minute. Does he want to win against Ava more than he wants the safety of his daughter, or is Sonny in complete denial about the reality of his situation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing is for sure, Sonny\u2019s brother Ric has taken a shine to Ava. I thoroughly enjoyed that kiss. But will his attention last when Ava\u2019s well of money runs dry? I still don\u2019t understand how the Cassadine estate could take away money that Ava got fair and square in her divorce settlement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any lawyers out there that can tell me if that could really happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new vibe for Charlie’s Pub and Kristina<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Across town, the version of Kristina I like is back and opening a new bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Kristina was confident and not yelling at anyone. She also created a great cozy vibe at the new Charlie\u2019s Pub. I have to wonder if General Hospital\/ABC dropped the LGBTQ Youth Center storyline due to a new and more conservative political climate. It’s also possible that they didn’t really have compelling story to tell. No way to know, but Kristina jumped on Sonny\u2019s offer to take over the bar, and it should offer the denizens of Port Charles a cool place to hang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I laughed when Natalia told Kristina how much she liked, “All the music that she\u2019s heard since I came in,” which was exactly half of one song. Natalia just entered and walked directly to the bar! How many songs could she have heard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sidwell’s agenda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jenz Sidwell got the deed to Wyndemere from Alexis. I loved their scene together. Nancy Lee Grahn has chemistry with everyone though, and I definitely do not want her involved with Jenz.\u00a0\u00a0Sidwell met important players in Port Charles thanks to Lucy. What do you think his ultimate goal is? Is it as simple as ‘Kill Sonny and take over his territory,\u201d or is it more? I am trying to figure out why he is pumping Lucy for info on everyone in town. He has a Jerry Jacks kind of feel to me, half charming, half evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen tomorrow, dear readers? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Will Tracy end up in the slammer again and will Cody come on horseback to rescue her? Will we ever learn the real reason that Cody wants Leopold Taub\u2019s mansion? Is there gold buried in the walls? Will Lucy fall for Sidwell and go home one night to discover that he ate Sigmund Duck L\u2019Orange? Will Lucky and Liz open their own P.I. company after all the fun they are having solving mysteries together? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Terry owe Liz an apology now that another death happened while Liz was on leave? Will Kai play football again, or will Trina convince him to become a med student at PCU and become General Hospital\u2019s hottest new young doctor? Will Laura and Anna be successful in scaring Jenz away from Port Charles, or will he just try to blow up their houses, too? Can we expect Mac to win a Daytime Emmy for being the sweetest dad in Port Charles for his heart-to-heart with Cody in jail? He deserves it. I love John J York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Joss find evidence that Cyrus killed Dex, or will she land herself in terrible danger? Will Sonny\u2019s medical trip to L.A. be General Hospital\u2019s way of bringing the tragedy of the wildfires onto the Port Charles canvas? I think Maurice Benard would do an amazing job in a storyline like that. Will Molly and Cody date? They had that Hallmark<\/em> movie, ‘I hate you, but I\u2019m also intrigued,’ vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only tomorrow knows dear readers and I will tune in tomorrow as long as there are tomorrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
