A fancy General Hospital yacht…a Cassadine villain…a star-crossed couple…and a major international crime. Are we talking about Spencer getting kidnapped by Uncle Victor with Trina stowing away on board to be with the man she loves? Or are we talking about Luke Spencer fighting to bring down Mikkos…and Laura stowing away on board to help out? Why not? Is this about to be Part Two of one of GH’s most famous stories?

General Hospital: How It Started

Luke (Anthony Geary) joined forces with Robert (Tristan Rogers) to keep Mikkos (John Colicos) from using a large synthetic diamond to freeze the world. But during the time it took Mikkos’s boat to get to his secret island, Luke and Laura (Genie Francis) found some time for secret romance, which even included watching Prince Charles marry Princess Diana in what was, at the time, considered to be true love conquering all.

Eventually, they landed on an island where Robert ended up finding his own romance with Tiffany (Sharon Wyatt), who was there as the girlfriend of Victor (then Thaao Penghlis, now Charles Shaughnessy). Laura got some tropical disease, Luke found some herbs to cure her, and, eventually, they stopped the Ice Princess by using the oh, so clever computer password: Ice Princess. And then Luke and Laura got married, and went to live on the same boat they’d once stowed away on, which they renamed The Haunted Star.

GH: How It’s Going

Now, Victor has spirited both Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Giant Baby Ace (and his adorable facial expressions) away on the same boat, and it will be Trina (Tabyana Ali) to the rescue!

What do you think? Post a comment!

Will she catch a tropical fever? Will she break an equally complex password? Will she and Spencer, together, bring down Victor and get the boat as a gift? (Doesn’t it technically belong to Coma Lulu at the moment?) And, most importantly, will they live happily ever after? For a few decades, anyway.
