As General Hospital neared the end of Willow’s trial for shooting her estranged fiancé-turned-difficult husband in the climactic January 8

episode of the ABC soap (recapped here), the drama was actually just beginning. Before the day was done, you see, Trina and Kai had found

out that Wiley’s telltale ringtone (more on that here) — which they’d heard on the night in question — belonged to none other than the accused: Willow.

 

 

On the other hand, both Trina and Kai might agree that Drew, with his long, long list of misdeeds, only got what was coming to him. Congressman Cutthroat did blackmail her parents, hastening the demise of their marriage, and Kai’s blind faith in the sleazy politician cost him the woman he loves (at least temporarily).

Whatever goes down in the week-ending January 9 episode (read spoilers here), it’s by no means the end of the line for Willow. In fact, Katelyn MacMullen — who recently told Soaps.com that her character would probably empathize a lot more with evil twin sister Nelle now (read the interview) — divulged to Soap Opera Digest that when General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini revealed that her alter ego had done the deed, he also said, “You’re going to have some really fun stuff to play with.”

That’s putting it mildly. And the roller coaster ain’t slowing down anytime soon, either. As headwriters Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten hinted to TV Insider, the outcome of Willow’s trial “will reverberate for years to come.” Count us in. We love a good reverberation! Heck, we can just imagine Drew and his bride being stuck in a War of the Roses type marriage as penance for their sins… until, that is, Brook Lynn pulls the plug on her and Chase’s future and sets him free to be with his ex!
