Keep the tissues handy, folks.

We knew that General Hospital wanted to scare us when it had Willow elect to put off cancer treatment in order to safeguard her pregnancy. We knew that we were supposed to worry that the delay would doom her. But we also knew that the show wouldn’t really kill off Michael’s significant other.

Now we don’t know it so much as…er, hope it. On September 2, Willow makes another big decision, and if it is to stay the course and protect her unborn baby no matter the risk, we fear the deck is being stacked against her.

“Whyyy?!?”

Were Willow to die, Michael would be left at the loosest of loose ends. Translation: He’d be in line for some absolutely tremendous, emotional storyline. The tragedy might even be great enough to convince him not to waste another second squabbling with Sonny.

In the aftermath, Michael might even swear off love. He’s already buried two girlfriends — Abby and Sabrina. Losing Willow could just break him for good — or so he thinks…until someone new accidentally slips past the walls he puts up to remind him that his heart is still beating.

“Not again!”

Live and Let (Willow) Live

Thankfully, there remains a ginormous reason that General Hospital may go the other way and spare Willow: It has yet to play the reveal that she is Nina’s long-lost biological daughter and Nelle’s sister. No way on Earth would the soap pass up the opportunity to roll out the fireworks that that would set off. No way or Mars, Jupiter or any other planet, either!

The revelation that these two women who can’t stand each other are actually tied and have unknowingly been connected all along…It’s daytime gold! So fingers crossed that Willow will end up needing bone marrow or something, and Carly will be forced to confess that, um, she knows someone who might be a match.

What do you think? Will the show save Willow or put us through the saddest death since it killed off Bobbie and Tony’s little girl all those years ago? On your way to the comments…

As she discovered for herself, “They’re real, and they’re spectacular.” But, although the duo passed their chemistry test in 2019, the result was… nada. Nothing. Zilch.

A single ill-advised kiss in 2015 was as far as Michael’s wife and Lily’s husband got before irate fans got him swerved back into his usual “Lane.”

We saw the potential in the General Hospital staffers’ pairing. And they might’ve, too, if only she’d turned around. “He’s behind you,” we yelled at the TV. To no avail.

Whether we felt like we were cheating on “Cin” as we did it, we couldn’t help but kinda root for Ciara’s “widower” to look at her niece as more than a friend.

Now that she’s married both of his sons — and they had a regrettable one-night stand — the ick factor may be too great for these two to ever really make like that candle and catch fire.

One kiss in 2010 was all we needed to tell us that we wanted to see more. It was random, it was hot, and it left us as intoxicated as two of those martinis might have.

Why the show threw cold water on Kiki’s parents, we’ll go to our grave not understanding. They burned more brightly than many a flame-thrower.

Yes, Abe, this is how tightly you should have held on. Instead, he loosened his grip, and their relationship was sunk just as we were shipping them the hardest.

The affair between Brooke’s sister and “destiny” (then Ronn Moss) began and ended so fast, he didn’t even have time to pull out his signature move: proposing way too soon.

Here, the coulda-been-a-supercouple demonstrate our reaction to the show’s treatment of their pairing as a disposable afterthought. “Boo” to that and also “hiss.”

Why? Why did her childhood crush never mature into anything more? We can’t imagine and don’t much care to. We’d prefer to daydream about what could’ve been.

“Hey, wait a minute… Is that our chance at an actual storyline together slipping out the exit?” Sadly, it was.

Don’t look so skeptical, Pam. You — and the show — may have forgotten when you were smitten with Stephanie’s husband. But we haven’t.

In 2018, the one-man kissing booth, in his quest to test-drive every pair of lips in Genoa City, laid one on Victoria. Aand… ? Nothing came of it but this steamy commemorative photo.

Despite the steam that rose off them anytime they touched, their romance was so fleeting that their first dance could’ve doubled as their last.

Hard as it was to compete with “WilSon,” “WilSon,” “WilSon,” these two were like a bedtime story that never quite got told in full. Maybe there will be a next chapter?

“Sick” is such a frustrating near-pairing that we don’t even have a good picture of them together. And at the rate the show is going, we may never have a good picture of them together!

“Liason” fans have long been understandably irked that she got a more substantial story arc with the fake Jason (his twin brother, Drew) than with the real McCoy.

Somehow, Sami’s ex and her half sister’s flirtation lasted only long enough in 2022 for her to catch them like this. Which, OK, in a way was worth it.

Look at the way they were gazing at one another back in 2013. A lot more could’ve developed between the model and the photographer than just pretty, pretty pictures.

We were eager to see where their friendship was going in 2019. Or at least we were until we found out that the answer was “absolutely nowhere.”

Unlike so many of daytime’s illicit lovers, Lucky’s half brother (then Tyler Christopher) and his sometime sister-in-law were actually split up once their affair was revealed.

To illustrate for her bedmate how small the chances of them having a lasting relationship were in 2013, she produced a teensy vial in which those chances would fit. He still didn’t get it. Neither did we.

Here a roll in the hay, there a kiss on the lips. But Hope’s parents have yet to go the distance — or any distance, really, besides the one between them and questionable decisions.

When Michelle Stafford returned to her role in 2019, the show perfectly positioned Nick’s ex and his half brother on the game board for an affair — then quickly moved the pieces away from one another.
