General Hospital Lines Up Suspects to Take Aim at Drew — Plus, Here’s When It’s *Gotta* Happen!

How to sum up General Hospital this week? Between Sidwell bribing the judge in Michael and Willow’s custody case and someone stalking Baby Daisy, “That was unexpected!” and “Where the hell is this going?” feel like appropriate statements. Plus, it finally seems the show is about to deliver what viewers have been waiting for and serve Drew what he has coming. Let’s discuss!

Baby Daisy, You’re In Danger, Girl!

Because the ABC soap can’t let Sasha be happy for more than a week, someone now appears obsessed with her newborn, Daisy. First, they visited her in the hospital nursery and then the nursery at the Quartermaines’ place. Viewers already believe Willow is the guilty party. She would not only have access to the nursery at the hospital as a nurse but also be familiar with the Qs’ mansion. The popular theory is that Willow’s breakdown has caused a split personality, a storyline idea I thought would work a while back, but for a “Who shot Drew?” storyline. But it also works here, and it would be interesting to see Willow adopt Nelle’s personality, or perhaps even Harmony’s, as she fixates on Baby Daisy, given that she’s lost her own children.

Other possible suspects stalking Daisy? Some have suggested Drew could be putting a plan in motion to drive Sasha crazy to make it look like Michael’s home life is less than stable. Then there is Sidwell, who bribed the judge to rule in Michael’s favor for full custody. I don’t think anyone saw that one coming. What is Sidwell’s motive? Does he want all Michael’s children under one roof for a nefarious reason?

Of course, there could be a more innocent explanation, and it’s Holly, Sasha’s mother and Daisy’s grandmother. Perhaps she’s snuck into town to glimpse at her first grandchild? Regardless of who it is and why, viewers appear united and don’t want to watch Sasha suffer more through a kidnapping storyline.

Someone Should Take Drew Down

For months now, viewers have been expecting a mystery surrounding who tried to kill Drew. Heck, even I thought it would happen at the Nurses Ball! With Trina and Joss listing off the suspects who have beef with the congressman, it seems we are closer than ever to watching Drew get what’s been coming to him. Trina’s comment that she just hoped Kai wasn’t around when and if someone went after Drew seemed to be a bit of foreshadowing as well. But who will try to take Drew out?

Again, many are looking at Willow and a possible split personality as the number one suspect who might take Drew out. I’m amazed Willow was let out of the hospital in her condition, and nobody noticed her walking around, dazed and confused. All she does is comment on how tired she is and that her life has no meaning without her kids. She also seems to be missing time and notes, “I guess I went back to sleep.” Hello, people, Willow is showing signs of clinical depression or something else like dissociative identity disorder! Where is Kevin when you need him? Perhaps this is what will bring DID expert Victoria Lord to Port Charles?

With Drew convincing Willow to marry him, the writers have set up the perfect venue for Drew’s takedown: the wedding! It’s not as if anyone will attend the nuptials, so it wouldn’t be hard for a wannabe assassin to hide and take their shot.

Other Storyline Ponderings

Brook Lynn delivering that slap to Lulu was worth the wait, as was Maxie telling Lulu that she needs to own the fact that she hurt Brook Lynn’s child. It was nice to see Lulu deliver what felt like a heartfelt apology to Gio, but the young man is still directing all his anger at his birth parents and won’t give up the idea that Brook Lynn didn’t want him. I give Lulu the tiniest, microscopic bit of credit for defending Brook Lynn to Gio and telling him that not wanting to see the child you are giving up is a protective mechanism many birth mothers use. It’s a good thing softball season is here, and it will force Gio, Dante and Brook Lynn to face one another on the field!

Brook Lynn is researching Britt stealing Dante and Lulu’s embryo, and everyone is hoping the writers won’t rewrite Rocco’s birth storyline and somehow make Britt his biological mother. Presently, the writers at General Hospital seem to thrive on writing storylines that are unpopular with the viewers. In other words, don’t be surprised if it happens!

As Curtis was trying to convince Tracy to take Martin’s deal and publicly grovel to Drew, Michael noted that the drug Tracy’s been accused of slipping to Drew is used on horses. Given that Tracy is an avid rider and the Quartermaines own a stable full of horses, did Michael give Tracy an excuse, at least for the cops, as to why she’d have ketamine in her car?

Well, here we go. Last week, I wondered if the show was pushing Curtis and Jordan back together, and that’s exactly what appears to be happening. Curtis’ marriage is on the rocks, and Jordan doesn’t know what to think or do about it.

It’s clear Marco has a soft spot for his father, but he can’t be so blind as not to understand that Sidwell is engaged in numerous criminal activities, can he?

Joss, the superspy investigating Dalton, and Emma’s anger over Joss stealing her research job, still isn’t grabbing or holding my attention. It’s time to move this storyline along and give us a hint at what Dalton’s really doing in that lab.

Finally, the dog that Emma and Gio found in the park stole the show this week! It was pretty brassy for Emma to tell her grandma, whose place she’s living in, that she might keep the dog. Maybe ask if that’s OK first?

That’s it for my thoughts, opinions and predictions this week. As always, leave your comments in the section below.
