The Celebrations Continue!



The celebrations continue! Check out ABC's 20/20 tonight (Saturday) for a special on General Hospital. Behind the scenes and interviews with fan favorites.

This past week has been fun for long time fans. Seeing old favorites like Bobbie, Scott, Luke, Laura, Felicia, Frisco, Noah, Lucy and more getting ready for the Nurses' Ball has been a real blast from the past. I don't know about you but it kind of made me feel old!

Although the Nurses' Ball is a great opportunity to see all these characters interact, there is sure to be fireworks coming. There always is!

What is evil Britt and her psycho mother planning? It sure would be great to have Robin return but that is not about to happen. What are their plans for Patrick and Sabrina?

The return of old characters like Frisco and Felicia is just temporary so I suspect that Felicia is going to break Mac's heart again and leave town with Frisco. Another part of me thinks maybe they will stick around a bit longer due to daughter Maxie's pregnancy and being that Frisco knows the truth about his daughter's baby, will he really leave now?

It was fun to see Brenda return and Sonny not be terribly bothered by it. Carly won this round by exposing her secret to Jax and although this will not be enough to have Jax and Carly get back together, it was great to see the "old" Carly back.

Although Bobbie has not been around, her scenes with Carly showed she certainly has her daughter's number. Knowing Carly was up to something, Bobbie didn't give a big effort to stop her.

With Noah back in town, will he practice as he preached to his son Patrick and will he try and rekindle his romance with Bobbie? It would be nice to see a happily ever after (although they both will probably leave town).

Is Anna going to be able to trust herself again and allow Duke back into her heart?

Now that Patrick has taken the step to be with Sabrina, will they find happiness?

What about Felix? GH has not had a gay character in quite some time. My prediction is that Bobbie's son Lucas will be coming to town and there will be a possible hook-up with Felix. If you remember, Bobbie was talking about how Lucas is not in a relationship and I read into this that he is gay and his momma hasn't a clue.

Rick Springfield's real-life son is set to join the cast and he would be the right age to play Lucas. Stay tuned to see if my prediction comes true!

What is going to happen with Connie/Kate? As Sonny waits to see who will return to him, many fans are getting tired of this DID story line.

Is it taking so long for Luke and Laura to find Lulu because of the re-cast of the character? With Helena dead, you would think they would be able to find her. If Helena was really behind the kidnapping.

What about Nicholas? As far as we know, he is still lying unconscious in a hospital bed with Scott keeping an "eye" on him.

So who is really behind Lulu's kidnapping and Nicholas' shooting? Is Britt and her mother somehow involved?

As fans enjoy the return of old characters, we are also hoping for answers to these and other questions.

Personally I think the writers have done a great job in celebrating the 50th anniversary. They stayed true to the characters and with plenty more surprises in store, I don't think we will be disappointed.

What do you think?
