With Kate Mansi announcing her departure from General Hospital, Kristina suddenly announced — literally in the middle of a conversation — that she has been accepted to medical. Huh? What? Why? HOW? We have many questions. And the suspicion that GH does, too… which is why they’re already pulling back their out-of-nowhere plot twist.
Key Takeaways
- Kristina has failed at everything she’s ever tried.
- Sonny has bailed her out each time.
- Kristina will be back sooner than expected.
Kristina Has Never Shown the Discipline Medical School Demands
Kristina has dropped out of more than one college. Kristina fell prey to a cult. Kristina can’t keep a relationship. Kristina is a mess. So now Kristina is going to be helping other people? In the words of Hamilton’s King George, “Awesome… Wow.”
The only way we can imagine college dropout Kristina, who was most definitely not taking pre-med courses during the few semesters she did attend, getting into medical school is if Sonny (Maurice Benard) bribed them. Or threatened them. Most likely both. Is he planning to do this all through Kristina’s stint at med school?
Kristina’s History Suggests This Dream Won’t Last
If Kristina really wanted to help people, as she claimed, wouldn’t it have made sense for her to continue her work at the LGBTQ youth center she is allegedly running? I
f she thought she needed more training, then wouldn’t a degree in psychology or counseling make more sense? She could still leave town to do that. And return a brand new woman.
What Exactly Qualifies Kristina for Medical School?
But we don’t expect Kristina to be gone for long. The day after her big, dramatic announcement, she was already hanging a lampshade on how ridiculous her new career path was, saying that she’d failed at everything else in her life and that she’d probably fail at this, too.
So, we’re giving our Krissy six months to find out that organic chemistry is hard and to come back to Port Charles, whining about how the world is always against her… now with a brand-new face and actress.
