Members dragonflies Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/t...l_hospital.html Coma boy awakes a changed person on 'General Hospital' BY Carolyn Hinsey DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Friday, May 8th 2009, 4:00 AM Michael wakes from his coma next week on "General Hospital." My, how he's grown. "He's 17 now," says Laura Wright, who plays Michael's mom, Carly. 'The actor playing him [Drew Garrett] is 20. I guess I had him at 16." "GH" is aging Michael so he can mix in with the "teen" set. But he'll face significant health hurdles before he can do that. "The levels in his brain are dropping," says Wright. "Everyone is arguing about the surgery, and then Carly shows up fresh from seeing some high-risk pregnancy doctor in North Carolina." Wanting answers. "Carly says, 'Let me talk to Patrick.' He says, 'I can do this, Carly. But if he doesn't wake up [within] 24 hours after the surgery, he isn't going to. No patient has woken up after 24 hours.' " Michael makes it through, "but then they are all at his bedside, and Patrick comes in. He goes from positive to not-so-positive." Jax forces Carly to go rest while they wait, since she is pregnant. "He says, 'You have to accept it, Carly.' She goes home. Jason comes over and says, 'He woke up!' " Carly races back to the hospital and finds Lulu there. "It's like a scary movie," says Wright. "She's by herself in a dark room holding his hand, and the coma guy wakes up." Carly is in for as rude an awakening as her son. "Michael is furious with Carly because she wasn't there when he woke up. Then he finds out she's pregnant, and he's really not happy. He doesn't realize he's been in a coma for a year." They can't tell him until they get the all-clear from Michael's doctor. "In true soap opera fashion, Patrick comes in: 'The tests all came back positive!'" In the weeks to come, look for Michael's new stepmonster, Claudia, to fish around about what he may have heard while she was confessing her role in his shooting to him as he lay comatose. "It's hysterical," says Wright. "She says things like, 'Can coma victims hear when they're asleep?' That becomes her whole m.o." "GH's" m.o. will be to throw a few winks to fans after Michael wakes up. "We have lines like, 'It's amazing how much he's grown," and I talk about how his voice has changed. It's almost as if he's a totally different person. Hello! We know he doesn't look anything like Dylan Cash [who used to play Michael]." Comings and goings: John Driscoll (ex-Coop, "Guiding Light") is joining "The Young and the Restless" as Nina's now-grown son, Phillip.

Members detroitpiston Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'm actually looking forward to this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Well Carly was like 21 when she had him in December 1997. So pretty much since they had to go and age him by 5 years, she pretty much had him at 16. Then again, I guess it's not so drastic... Jason was definitely SORAS'D when he returned in the 90s.

Members DRW50 Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Lulu can definitely be hard to spend time with. So this is a knockoff of the Jason story. He'll reject his family and chase after Lulu. How many failed love interests will she get before they give up? Never, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 Lulu and Michael are blood relations. This isn't GL. Though I'm sure they're tempted to pair her with their new golden boys, unfortunately both are related to her. Poor, poor Lulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 9, 2009 Members Share Posted May 9, 2009 I forgot they're related. I keep forgetting Carly is a Spencer. I wonder if they're going to have him sleep with Claudia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 How has he ever been different from Sonny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 It would serve Sonny and Carly right if he ended up like AJ. But this is Guza, so that won't be happening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 It would be an amazing twist if Michael rejected them and decided to be a Q! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I second that. Fans would probably tune back in to see the look on Sonny's face. I would love it if Michael wanted to be called Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Count me in as a fan who would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Then Michael would have to be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 This actor playing Michael looks like a really sweet, if not adorable kid. I cannot buy him as some hard-ass who would want to defend his "territory." If they're going in that direction with him, it's going to be an epic fail.
