General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Carly Corinthos’ (Laura Wright) latest plan will lead to major consequences. It turns out Carly’s decision to kidnap Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) mother, Florence Grey (Annie Abbott), will earn her a surprising foe.
Of course, that’s not Cyrus! Cyrus is already an enemy of the Corinthos clan – and this is sure to rile him up even more. He’s very much the expected foe here, so it must be someone else that Carly gets on her bad side. Could it be Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) who objects to Carly’s move?
After all, Florence is Martin’s mother as well. Martin loves Florence and wants to protect her, so he’s probably not going to be thrilled about Carly doing something as brazen as kidnapping his mom from her long-term care facility in Vermont.
This woman is in poor health and has already had to be moved from the house on Wilson Avenue in Oregon. It can’t be good for Florence to keep transferring from place to place like this – and Carly may not even be willing to tell Martin where Florence is now.
Martin doesn’t like or trust his brother, but Cyrus could still threaten him into offering up the information if Carly provides it. The less Martin knows, the safer he’ll be – which also means he can’t visit his dear mama.
It’s doubtful this arrangement is going to work for Martin, especially since there’s no way of knowing how long Carly plans to hold Florence hostage or what she’ll do if Cyrus doesn’t cooperate.
Things are getting out of hand, so Martin may seek help from someone who’s both a client and a friend. Naturally, we’re talking about Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
General Hospital spoilers say Martin will turn to Valentin for help during the week of January 4-8. Martin will want Valentin to do him a favor, so it looks like Valentin will agree and make Martin a promise in return.
Will this involve some way to retaliate against Carly or at least a way to gain some sort of advantage? Martin may understand Carly’s need for a strategy that works, but he won’t agree with putting Florence in the middle of a mob war.
GH spoilers say Valentin will end up doing something that could provoke the Corinthos clan soon enough. Valentin might help Martin score leverage he can use to get his mother back or something along those lines.
Kidnapping a Corinthos family member in return might be a possibility, but that seems more like something Cyrus would do. Valentin may not want to get his hands that dirty! Even so, it does sound like Martin may find some way to retaliate with Valentin’s assistance.
Will Carly have no choice but to hand over Florence? Regardless, Carly and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) aren’t going to be happy with Valentin soon! We’ll bring you updates as other GH news rolls in.
