Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Tragedy Strikes at the Coffee Warehouse

For the foreseeable future, this column is going to be a weekly recap and preview, instead of daily.

Sonny's attempts to put a strong focus on his legitimate business holdings (importing coffee) came to a tragic end at the climax of Friday's episode, when the bullet Ian meant for Sonny hit Michael instead. This was after repeated declarations of how he wanted to go as legit as possible for his children's sake. Rumors had abound for the last week or two that a cast member had suddenly and unexpectedly received their walking papers in the form of a script that killed them off, looks like that actor was Dylan Cash. Check out the spoilers below for more rumors and spoilers on this matter, but it's looking like Cash has been dismissed and a SORA (soap opera rapid aging) is in the works for Michael.

Since the only reason Michael was in the warehouse at all was because Kate wanted to rebuild her relationship with the boy and help Sonny along with attempts to clean up his business, I look for her to take the brunt of the blame from Carly. Since Sonny jumped to protect her instead of Michael, I'm sure he will be spiraling downward in the weeks to come. That's just what Sonny and Kate needed was another hurdle in their relationship.

Carly and Jax spent the second half of the week fighting and most of those arguments were based on the time Jax was spending on the launch of Kate's magazine. Even after he explained he was using the work to keep from drowning in his grief over this miscarriage, Carly had little understanding for it. Typical for Carly, but I imagine it will make it harder for them to lean on each other through this new tragedy. I see this as another nail in the coffin for another of my favorite couples.

Unaware of Michael being shot, and reacting to a case at the hospital, Liz told Jason she wanted to him to step up and take his place as Jake's father and that she wanted to be with him. An ecstatic Jason happily agreed. Don't get too excited Liason fans, you know as soon as word of the shooting hits Jason's ears it's going to reinforce for him that claiming his son will only put him in danger. I suspect it will only reinforce that fact for Lucky as well, who is bound to insist to Liz they don't change the status quo.
