Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Is the Reign of Terror Really Over?

On Carly's short road back to Sonny, she made her way through an incredible head-spinning parade of men. She went from Jax's bed to Patrick's via a pit stop at Jason's begging for help with the kids. Patrick and Carly ignored Robin's knock on his door and her plea to talk things over, but when the next knock came from Jason – Carly was up and on her way Sonny's. Later in the week, she confessed to Jason it might be her destiny to care for Sonny.

It's undeniable that these characters, as well as the actors who play them, have a steamy chemistry, but I do hope they don't use Carly's return as a way to short-change the bipolar disorder storyline. They've done a really good job thus far and I would hate for the writers to end it with Carly enabling him and hiding it. Her consideration of sending him to Rose Lawn was a good beginning, but it was squashed by Jason. Sonny's roller coaster ride of emotions continues to spin out of control, played incredibly by Maurice Benard.

In the attempts to change up both the stories and the couplings, Liz is being drawn to Jason, who has pushed Sam away, and Lulu put the final nail in Georgie and Dillon's coffin. In the aftermath of their fallout, Dillon turned to Lulu and Georgie to Diego.

On the heels of her break-up with Patrick, Robin was surprised and delighted to see Anna return to Port Charles (Finola Hughes has signed a one-year contract with the show). Though it seemed she was there to give her daughter a shoulder to cry on, she was soon sniffing around Alcazar and phoning in reports, all under the watchful eye of her ex – Robert Scorpio. After her light fingers lifted his cell phone from his pocket, Lorenzo is pretty suspicious himself. Be careful, Anna!

In General Hospital related news:
According to Soap Opera Digest, Genie Francis will be returning to the show for a limited run in November. The character will emerge from her catatonic state in time to celebrate Luke and Laura's 25th wedding anniversary.

Next week on General Hospital:
Emily tries to convince Sonny to enter therapy, Tracy stumbles across Dillon and Lulu, and it's guys' night out.
