General Hospital: Carly & Valentin’s Explosive Romance – What Happens Next?

General Hospital delivers Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) reunited and more people are finding out that they’re together.

Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) ranted and Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) is absolutely going to blow up. Most of Port Charles is going to have an opinion on them, probably mostly negative, but they are still clearly headed for super couple status.

We’re going to talk about where Valentin and Carly go from here now that he’s pardoned and his and Carly’s romance has gone public.

General Hospital: Carly & Valentin Reunited!

Now, let’s talk about this happily reunited duo. So, thanks to GH Big Boss Z, Valentin came back home to Port Charles with a full pardon for his crimes. Seems only fair since Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) was released from Pentonville for pretty much the same dirty deeds that Valentin was doing in the GH WSB, which gave him a job instead of a jail cell.

So, when Carly saw Valentin getting out of that SUV that pulled up in front of General Hospital, it was great. Carly took off running. She just left the conversation with Sonny to make a run for Valentin. Lulu and Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) saw it, too. And that’s I think when Lulu realized exactly what was going on, and it gave her some more information about what Valentin’s been up to.

I thought Carly and Valentin’s reunion was pretty awesome. Not only did Carly run for him, but Valentin ran for her and they crashed into each other’s arms. They hugged and then shared that passionate kiss. Meanwhile, Sonny and Charlotte and Lulu were looking on in shock.

Now, Charlotte was only surprised because her dad Valentin was free. That’s what shocked her because Charlotte already knew how close Carly and Valentin were. She pretty much knew. But Lulu and Sonny were blindsided. And Carly wasted no time. She brought Valentin home with her and Carly doesn’t want him to leave.

Sonny Confronts Carly on GH

Meanwhile, Valentin is really happy he doesn’t have to keep hiding out in her attic. But even with his name cleared and Carly thrilled to have him back, they are going to face some obstacles. And one of them already happened. That was when Sonny showed up on that recent episode, walked into Carly’s place and caught them canoodling.

And with no irony whatsoever, Sonny said, “Valentin is the absolute worst mistake that Carly has made.” Come on. Really? She was engaged to Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) at one point and that was when she still thought he had had Michael Corinthos (then Chad Duell) raped in prison. They retconed that away. But still, I think Franco or the Alcazar (Ted King)  thing were much bigger mistakes. But I think the mobster was a mistake as well.

And then Sonny dropped the bombshell. The Valentin was behind his psych meds being tampered with. And if I recall correctly, Jack Brennan had a hand in that. I think he approved Valentin doing it because they were trying to deal with Sonny issues. Anyway, Carly was appalled and Valentin owned it and he apologized. So, Carly’s going to let it slide. But that little kitchen altercation with Sonny moaning and griping about Carly’s disastrous love life was the tip of the iceberg. There’s much more coming.

Sonnys Big Plans to Split Up Carly & Valentin on General Hospital

Let’s dive into what is ahead for Valentin and Carly on their road to super couple status. First off, Sonny is far from done. He is determined to split up Carly and Valentin. And summer spoilers say Sonny enlists Brick (Stephen A. Smith) in the effort to try and break them up. And that should start soon. Since Brick has that big crush on Carly, I’m sure he’s all in right away.

But I honestly can’t with Sonny’s hypocrisy about Valentin. This is the same Sonny that drugged teenage Karen Wexler so she would strip at his club and sleep with him. And Sonny shot his son Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and many others, and he’s a serial cheater who’s done Carly quite dirty, so he can kick rocks.

So, another thing to talk about, if it’s not already official, I think it’s pretty certain that Valentin is going to move in with Carly to stay. She said this week she never wants him to leave, but we need to see suitcases unpacked. It’s one thing for fugitive Valentin to lurk in her attic like a sexy bat.

It’s another for them to officially cohabitate. What’s worse is that’s the house Sonny used to live in with Carly, but Valentin’s gonna be keeping that bed warm upstairs in the master bedroom. And I’m sure plenty of other people will be dropping in to vent about Carly being with Valentin. But since Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) seems cool with him now, I don’t think Carly’s going to care.

Charlotte Moves in Carly & Valentin on GH?

Another thing I can see in Valentin and Carly’s future is another kid. And no, I don’t think Valentin’s going to knock up Carly. Instead, I think his precious Charlotte is going to wind up living with them, at least part-time. Carly already adores her, and Charlotte really likes Valentin’s new lady love. And of course, Lulu is going to be fuming, but she and Charlotte are about to hit a breaking point.

Lulu’s trying to keep Valentin away, but he offered her a 50/50 custody split or said, “You can risk family court.” Because Charlotte’s 16. So, the judge is going to ask where she wants to live, and she’ll say with Papa Valentin. GH summer spoilers say Charlotte has issues with Lulu and seeks new living arrangements.

And with Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) heading to Ireland to see Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) and Ace Cassadine (Jay & Joey Clay) soon, I doubt Charlotte’s at grandma’s place. I think that she is going to want to live there with her dad and his new girlfriend. I think Carly will be fine with it and Valentin will be thrilled.

General Hospital: Valentin Working for the WSB?

Next thing, we know that Valentin’s going to need a job. You know, he could be a sommelier at the Metro Court restaurant handing out wine. He’s got good taste, but I’m thinking he and Jack might bury the hatchet because of common enemies. Or rather, I should say, Valentin pretends to bury the hatchet.

Carly still wants Jack destroyed. So, Valentin might wind up doing some work for the local GH WSB office. That way, he can get close to Jack. He can keep an eye on Josslyn and look for opportunities to destroy Jack so that Carly can have her revenge. We’ve also heard hints that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) might end up working for the WSB.

So, Valentin could end up working with Josslyn and with Carly’s BFF Jason while orchestrating Jack’s downfall. And one last thing, Valentin and Carly are going to have to face a barrage of haters. I think a lot of them.

Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) has toxic Peter August (Wes Ramsey) in her head and he may tell Anna to go after Valentin. Then there’s Lulu. She’s going to be furious with Carly and Valentin both. And if Charlotte moves in, I think Lulu is going to be scheming to destroy them.

I mean, bless her heart. Both her kids are pretty frustrating right now. I understand Charlotte to some extent because she was raised by Valentin, but Rocco Falconeri‘s (Finn Carr) fixation on Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) is nonsensical cruelty towards his actual mom, Lulu.

General Hospital: Jason Won’t Be Happy

And once Jason’s back, I’m sure he won’t like the idea of Carly and Valentin being together, but also Sonny’s going to gripe to Jason and might ask him to help split them, but I don’t know if he’s going to return interested in doing any conspiring with Sonny. Once Jason’s back, he’s supposed to be making a big change.

Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Jack aren’t fans of Carly being with Valentin. And with Nina and Jack getting closer soon, they may prove problematic for the new super couple. Carly still despises Jack and she’s hated Nina for years. And of course, Dante may show up to warn Carly and to see what has Lulu so upset.

So, there’s certainly going to be some big hurdles along the way, but Carly and Valentin are head over heels for each other. Their chemistry is fire. They’re not going to let anybody tear them apart. And I am here for it. They could be the next big super couple on GH. Something honestly the ABC soap is currently lacking.
