Fans enthralled by the drama happening between half-sisters Molly Lansing-Davis and Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kristen Vaganos and Kate Mansi) on “General Hospital” are in luck: the ABC daytime drama series will rebroadcast the August 1, 2024 episode (#15520) on Monday, September 2 (Labor Day) as a way help viewers who missed it keep up to where things are heading next.
In the episode, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is put on the spot while Molly confides in Sam (Kelly Monaco). Elsewhere, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) makes a pitch to Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) while Sonny (Maurice Benard) lashes out. Later, Kristina is on the warpath with Ava (Maura West) and by the end of the day, a disastrous accident will occur. Meanwhile, Trina (Tabyana Ali) gets an eyeful.
In story, during a volatile confrontation between Ava Jerome and Kristina, the latter loses her standing and falls through the thinly made windows of a Metro Court Hotel room as several poolgoers watch in horror as she lands in the pool below. Although her fall into the chlorinated water ultimately saved her life, sadly it also led to the death of the unborn child she was carrying as a surrogate for Molly and Molly’s domestic partner T.J. Ashford (Tajh Bellow).

In the weeks since the tragedy, Kristina and Blaze have broken up, with the latter leaving town, and Molly learned that Kristina had secretly been planning to seek sole custody of the baby before her fall.
After Molly and T.J. agreed to name the child Irene Marie Davis-Ashford leading up to funeral services, Molly later confronted Kristina about her plan to take the child from her and T.J. after Kristina unexpectedly revealed at the baby’s funeral that she would refer to the child as Adela, which is the name of Molly and Kristina’s deceased paternal grandmother, who Kristina herself was named after, albeit her middle name – Adela Corinthos was the mother of Kristina’s father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), and Molly’s father, Ric (Rick Hearst).

Overall, the storyline has breathed new life into “General Hospital” with fans praising the decisions made by head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten, and associate head writer Cathy LePard.
“Y’all get mad at me when I say nice things, but I don’t care. #GH has been good this week. It feels like a soap right now,” commented one user on X (formerly Twitter). Another said, “Kristen Vaganos came in and made Molly relevant for the first time in the character’s existence.” They added, “She can convey emotion without saying a single word, with just a look. She has chemistry with everyone, including five seconds into ‘meeting’ her TV dad.”
On X (formerly Twitter), a fan clipped the falling into the pool scene while adding the iconic music beats heard during the seven season run of the original “Melrose Place” (if you know, you know). You can watch the clip below.
