A Tale Of Two Baby Switches: General Hospital Vs. The Bold And The Beautiful

How bad can we really feel for Flo (Katrina Bowden) as she shows her guilt every moment? We’re just not buying it. If she felt that guilty, she would have spoken up by now rather than speak about speaking up every single day.

And, that is basically the crux of this baby switch. All these people know, but they ain’t spilling for some seriously selfish reasons.

Meanwhile, on General Hospital, know who Baby Wiley is and all three of them are known to be villains and were established characters before this all happened.

There’s birth mother Nelle (now in Pentonville), Dr. Liesl Obrecht who delivered the baby (as she attempted to escape Pentonville), and Brad, the adoptive dad who had tried to give up his deceitful ways.

Like on BB, new characters were introduced to help tell this story, but they were worked onto the canvas far from the baby switch for months so we got to know them before the baby anvils came flying down.

One of them is even sympathetic. Who watching GH doesn’t feel their heartbreak for poor Willow every day? This young woman thinks her child is thriving with two loving and adoptive parents but has no idea this is not her baby and that her little boy died soon after he left her arms.

The layers on GH are there sticking out as tentacles everywhere, but there are other stories being told throughout the hour for a little bit of everything. One character, Julian, knows Brad switched out babies, but he still has no idea who the replacement Wiley really is.

While we do think GH’s baby story should have been paced better and ended during May Sweeps, it is infinitely more engaging than the story on BB.

Do you think both baby switch stories need to come to a close soon? Let us know in the comments below.
