You’re gonna need the tissues to watch General Hospital the week of November 4. The preview that ABC just dropped reveals that — well, as you’d expect — all of Port Charles is grief-stricken over the sudden and unexpected passing of Sam McCall. In fact, her poor mom Alexis looks so overcome that we wouldn’t be surprised to find a bottle of vodka just off camera.

If we can take any comfort in the wake of Kelly Monaco’s exit from the show after more than two decades, perhaps it is in that she eventually became aware of her and her character’s impact on viewers. Read what she had to say on that subject here.

In other developments, we hear Willow saying, “This was a horrible mistake,” just as Michael is getting an eyeful from the baby cam on his phone. Is he about to find out that his wife didn’t just kiss Drew once? And even if he does, erm, how mad can he really get, considering that he just slept with Sasha!

Speaking of Sasha, because our favorite jinx just can’t ever get a break, she appears to be yanked out of a conversation with Carly just as… What the Heather Webber! A bomb goes off! Is that the roof of the Metro Court that we glimpse being blown off against the Port Charles skyline?!?
