General Hospital's Drew Takes Backseat to Carly's Storyline

General Hospital's writer's strike is starting to show with redundant character interactions and more flashbacks. Cody almost takes down Gladys with Spinelli's help, but Ms. Wu ultimately forces Gladys to change her story. Dr. Monty offers to pay off Gladys' debt for a favor, which could be worse than blackmailing Sasha's new doctor. Kristina hints at being a surrogate and egg donor for Molly and TJ. Martin's three ex-wives become a storyline possibility. Drew's prison sentence emphasizes everything wrong with his character, while Ned's amnesia could revitalize his role.
