her life and Willow’s infatuation with Drew rose to new heights.

General Hospital’s Lulu escapes Christmas

Laura (Genie Francis) was so happy to have two of her three children with her for Christmas this year, but it turns out the one that has been in a coma for the last four years has an important mission that doesn’t involve her mother.

When Rocco (Finn Carr) handed Lulu (Alexa Havins) his phone, she never expected to hear Charlotte’s (Scarlett Fernandez) voice on the other end. She somehow convinced Charlotte to tell her location and took off to find her daughter on the other end of the world. Lulu swore Rocco to secrecy, but a teen can only keep a secret like that for so long.

On Thursday, Christmas Eve continues in Rice Plaza with Laura and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) bound to wonder where Lulu is. When Dante gets alarming news, it sounds like Rocco informs his dad that his mom took off to find his sister. Did Lulu even remember to take her anti-rejection meds with her, considering she just had a liver transplant? Will Dante skip town next to find Lulu? If he takes Jason (Steve Burton) with him, who will be taking care of Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) kids?

Willow weeps and defends her actions

Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) couldn’t let Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Scout (Cosette Abinante) be alone on Christmas Eve, so Nina (Cynthia Watros) was forced to grin and bear it by welcoming Drew to her home. When Willow learned that Michael (Chad Duell) had stolen Aurora out from under Drew, she was horrified and wondered how Michael could do such a horrible thing. Did she ever really know her husband at all?

Michael might wonder the same thing about his wife, but he is not the one who will walk into the living room and find Willow in Drew’s arms. That honor falls on Nina, who doesn’t know if she is going to be able to keep Drew and Willow apart.

Willow also defends her actions when Lucas (Van Hansis) appears in Nina’s apartment. She claims she didn’t mean to sleep with Drew. It just kinda happened because Drew was grieving Lucas’ sister, and he needed comfort. Or at least that is the story that Willow keeps telling herself. How will Willow react when she inevitably learns that Drew also spent much of this year having sex with Nina?
