General Hospital Message Board

After Kate came back from Europe, Carly seemed to threaten that she either knew or was going to find out something that could cause problems in Kate’s life. This was a hint to one aspect of the story that Kate would have to deal with during the autumn of 2008.

The other aspects were the connection of the story to Claudia, Jason, and Karpov.

On August 6, 2008, Sonny and Kate had a scene with Claudia. The meeting with Jason and then with Claudia, made Kate feel that Jason and Claudia were trying to drag Sonny back into the mob.

As such, Kate had a conversation with Claudia and told her to stay away from Sonny. Claudia told Kate that the situation with Kate and Sonny was only temporary, and that Sonny would eventually get back into the mob. This was again a contrast in how these two women perceived Sonny and the contrast in their insights as to who they thought he was.

The interaction with Claudia seemed to be concerning to Kate and she seemed unsure whether or not the future she was planning with Sonny would be possible.

It was in the background of this uncertainty that Kate had her next scene with Sonny. The writing and the portrayal seemed to indicate that Kate was a woman who was deeply in love with Sonny, but that she was having fears of the threats that Carly and Claudia could cause in her life.

Including for her career in Crimson, and more broadly, to her social status and human dignity. The question being implied: would Kate find herself in a situation where she would eventually have to sacrifice these to have a relationship with Sonny? What would be her choice?

It was mentioned that summer that sometimes Kate will be controversial. Was this in relation to how she would have to make a choice between keeping her relationship with Sonny and her social status?

More importantly, why was the story structured in this way knowing the rumor that would later emerge in September that a particular storyline “had turned into a full-fledged dangerous liaisons”?

These scenes in early August of 2008 were one instance of this storyline where such a suggestion was made. There were other instances of scenes throughout August and September of 2008.

Was Kate the woman who would lose everything for love only to find out that it was not a possibility for her?

There was also the situation between Sonny and Karpov. Sonny found out that Karpov was shipping drugs and thus had broken their agreement. Sonny ended his dealings with Karpov as a result. Again, perhaps as a hint to the story of Stone and the Thanksgiving story.

This web of conflict among Sonny, Kate, Carly, Claudia, Jason, and Karpov, created “interconnections” and a dynamic that would lead to a precarious situation later in the autumn of 2008.
