May Sweeps

The first week of May is typically when television shows pull all the punches to increase their ratings. What is coming on General Hospital?

Kristina, Sonny and Alexis' daughter, is coming home. Kristina, who had left home to attend Yale, finds out how she managed to get into the exclusive school and she is mad! If you remember, Sonny pulled some strings to get Yale to accept his brilliant daughter at Alexis' urging. Kristina went off to Yale thinking that she got there on her own merits. Alexis was willing to lie to Kristina in order to get her away from her crush on Ethan (Luke's son) who has since left Port Charles.

The role of Kristina has been recast much to the unhappiness of many fans who are confused by why this recast was done.

Another face from the past will be returning as Kristina Wagner who played Felicia Scorpio-Jones will finally come home as her daughter Maxie sits in jail. The character of Felicia always annoyed me. What kind of mother leaves her children in the care of Mac Scorpio and forces him to deal with the tragedies that have befallen them? She did return when her other daughter Georgie was murdered but Maxie has had ups and downs in her life but Felicia is nowhere to be found.

Speculation exists that Jack Wagner (ex-husband of Kristina) who played Frisco Jones may be returning since he was let go of his role on Bold and the Beautiful and he was also sent home as a contestant on this season's Dancing With the Stars.

A new face is coming to Port Charles. The character of Tea Delgado from OLTL will be coming possibly to seek justice for Cole and Hope. Other OLTL characters Todd Manning, Blair Kramer, John McBain and Starr Manning are expected to become more visible on GH.

There is a lot going on in Port Charles and many storylines will be coming to a peak.

The return of Heather Webber means trouble for someone (or many) but who will be hurt (or even die) because of Heather? Edward has taken a restraining order in the attempt to protect himself against her but what about unsuspecting PC residents? Maggie has already been threatened by Steve's mother but will she tell him how dangerous she thinks Heather is? Olivia has been very vocal to Steve but does he see her as overreacting?

The storyline of the stripper attacker is finally moving along with the introduction of Delores' never-before-seen husband. Is he being set up as he claims and if so, who is setting him up? Remember Johnny's deal with Delores? Could Johnny be behind the stripper attacks?

My guess is still that the attacker is Ronnie. I just don't like this guy. He is shady and suspicious. I say watch out for him.

I see Lulu moving towards finding her "calling" by either becoming a cop or deciding to become a PI. She is a Spencer after all and adventure and danger is in her blood. Speaking of what's in your blood, what about Jason and Sam's latest discovery?

Now that Jason knows the truth about Franco, how will he and Sam move forward? How much will he blame Sam for holding back the truth? How will they both accept this baby? Will Sam ever tell her own mother the truth about what she has been living with? What about Spinelli? Will Sam and Jason tell him what Sam found out?

Anthony has secrets and one of them is holding Tracy hostage. Luke is still emotionally invested in Tracy and now since he knows that Anthony has blackmailed her into marriage, will he try and free her from this marriage from hell?

sonny may have been found not guilty but he is in danger and the source is someone he trusts. Kate is not who he thinks she is. As Connie has taken hold of Kate, how far will she go to punish Sonny and who will she use to get what she wants?

Olivia now has to deal with Steve's crazy mother, her crazy cousin and try and keep Steve safe from Johnny. Olivia is tough but she has an awful lot to handle. Heather wants her out of the way and although Olivia is on to her, will she be able to escape Heather's plan?

Will Starr return to Michael? Now that the trial is over, she admitted to Michael how lost she feels. The two have lost so much in their young lives but they also have bonded over their mutual pain.

The character of John McBain has ties to many Port Charles characters. Will he be staying in town and what trouble will he cause by doing so? Will Jason find out how much John knows about he and Sam and their baby?

Starr's father is going on trial back in Llanview for killing his own brother. (as we OLTL viewers know- Victor is ALIVE! so Todd didn't kill anyone) Starr mentioned to Michael that she could return to see her father's trial. With Tea (Victor's "widow") coming to Port Charles, what does it all mean?

What is your favorite storyline that is going on now? Do you have any predictions for the future? What storyline do you wish would just go away?
