General Hospital
Fists Are Flying, Secrets Are Spilling, and Nobody Across All Five Soaps Is Having a Good Week
Hostages, oncologist verdicts, stolen letters, and villain arcs across all five soaps. Nobody gets out of this week clean.
FIVE SOAPS, FIVE DAYS, AND NOT A SINGLE PERSON IS SAFE THIS WEEK
TL;DR: Someone is being held hostage, someone is getting medical news that changes everything, someone is confronting a lying relative, someone is scheming their way through an entire city, and someone’s book signing goes completely sideways. All five soaps are fully loaded this week and nobody gets out clean.
