Weeping Willow: Do General Hospital Fans Expect Heartbreak?

General Hospital’s Willow has a world of hurt ahead of her. Willow thought she’d been through the worst of it when she escaped Shiloh’s cult, gave her newborn baby up for adoption — and dealt with Nina.

Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) consoled herself with knowing that her little boy was in good hands, adopted by loving dads Lucas (Ryan Carnes) and Brad (Parry Shen). But then Shiloh showed up in Port Charles, and Brad started finding solace with Dawn of Day.

Willow fretted about her baby. But it’s about to get much, much worse. Truth is, Willow’s son is dead. He died a few hours after Brad brought him home. The tot Willow has been mooning over is actually a substitute, Nelle (Chloe Lanier) and Michael’s (Chad Duell) “dead” son Jonah. When everything comes out, will fans’ hearts break for Willow? What almost 9,000 had to say:

Tears In Heaven
It’s going to be brutal, 80% of you are already getting the tissues and ugly cry faces ready. Willow is completely innocent in all of this. She tried to do what was best for her son and was rewarded by an unwanted blast from the past, and an attachment to a child that isn’t even hers.

Willow keeps telling herself she did the right thing, and Wiley’s happiness is proof. But if she believes he’s in danger from Shiloh, she may take an unneeded risk — only to learn she did it for nothing.

On the Edge
Then again, 20% of the audience just don’t care. Willow is a newbie, whose strongest connection to the canvas is being Charlotte and Aiden’s teacher! Sure, she’s been circling Michael, sure, Chase (Josh Swicakrd) has been circling her, but, in the end, she hasn’t staked out her territory in Port Charles — or your hearts.
