General Hospital Spoilers Highlights
It’s been apparent for a while that Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) need to consult each other on what’s best for Scout (Cosette Abinante). After Drew got out of prison, he decided to make the unilateral decision to send Scout to an exclusive private school. Similarly, Sam recently made her own unilateral decision when she told Scout that she doesn’t need to go to that school if she doesn’t want to go.
So, this massive parental conflict that’s been brewing? It explodes when Sam and Drew finally communicate (loudly) their thoughts and feelings on the matter. Drew’s post-prison personality change probably won’t help. These days, he has a one-track mind that won’t even listen to Carly’s (Laura Wright, who teases upcoming scenes here) concerns on the matter. Whose parental perspective will prevail?
Drama and Dilemmas
Whatever impacts Sam is also bound to have an effect on Dante (Dominic Zamprogna). Apparently, the detective finds himself in a predicament. As a result, there are a number of options for what this could be about. First, having Sam’s back in this argument with Drew could put him in the middle of the drama. Second, the predicament could have something to do with his dad and the whole Nina (Cynthia Watros) blowup. Third, maybe there’s a whole new PCPD-related issue that suddenly causes chaos.
Regarding the Nina blowup, she’s currently — and not surprisingly — on the outs with a lot of people. But, thankfully, not everyone in town. It seems like she has the unconditional support of Sasha (Sofia Mattsson), who encourages Nina to have faith. Feels like she should listen to the Face of Deception. Clearly, she knows what it’s like to implode her life and then dig herself out of the deep, dark hole she created for herself.
Grief Support
More and more of Bobbie’s (Jacklyn Zeman) pals are grieving the loss of their friend. Look for Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Anna (Finola Hughes) to turn to each other to remember a woman they knew for almost 40 years. Bobbie’s impact on Felicia’s life is especially poignant since the death of Bobbie’s daughter meant Felicia’s daughter, Maxie (Kirsten Storms), lived.
Tony (Brad Maule) and Bobbie’s gut-wrenching decision allowed BJ’s (Brighton Hertford) heart to be given to an ailing Maxie. So, it’s no surprise that Maxie’s struggling to cope with Bobbie’s death. The two did have a special connection over the years. Interestingly, look for a supportive Cody (Josh Kelly) to be the one to offer comfort to Maxie during her time of need.
