Top 5 Most Shocking General Hospital Plot Twists That Will Get You Hooked On Soap
Everything is possible if writers need it to happen.
One of the greatest pleasures of soap opera, aside from its longevity, is the sense that literally anything can happen to a character at any time. No one is safe from sudden death, no relationship is safe from a cheating scandal, and no citizen is safe from another supervillain popping up in town.
General Hospital may be many things, but predictable is not one of them. If you think there's nothing to convince you to tune in, take a look at this list and think again.
Jason and Carly
It was hard to imagine these two characters ever getting together, and many viewers were actually disappointed to see it happen. It's not your typical love story, and considering the fact that the two actors didn't have much romantic chemistry, they definitely weren't meant to be. But somehow they ended up getting married anyway.
Emily's Cancer
Would you ever believe that true love's kiss could cure cancer? Well, General Hospital wants you to. And even though Emily Quartermaine's kiss with Nikolas Cassadine was in a dream, it was so powerful that she woke up cancer-free.
Charlotte's Identity
When Charlotte first arrived in Port Charles with her mother, Claudette, there was much speculation about her origins. Many fans thought the girl was Claudette and Nathan's daughter, but the soap played everyone for a fool. Charlotte's real parents are Lulu Spencer and Valentin Cassadine!
BJ's Heart
BJ Jones' death was absolutely heartbreaking as she was in a school bus accident and was presumed brain dead. However, her organs were still intact and she was able to help her cousin, Maxie Jones, who suffered from a rare heart condition. This last possible act of kindness allowed Maxie to live into adulthood.
Duke Lavery Mask
One of the most shocking and frightening moments in the 60 years of General Hospital was the revelation of Cesar Faison, portrayed by Anders Hove, underneath the elastic mask imitating Duke Lavery, portrayed by Ian Buchanan. Cesar Faison is considered the scariest villain of all time and for good reason.
