a couple of add-ins:
Rosanna got baby fever after Carly had Sage. Craig resisted, but eventually pretended to cave and agreed to look into adoption. He actually sabotaged the first attempt (I think it had something to do with him "accidently" exposing his own past actions in kidnapping baby Dani, but my memory's fuzzy). When Ro left him over it, he arranged to buy a baby, and passed it off as a quick, legal adoption. What he didn't know was that James had set him up. (Why...again, the why never quite made sense, it was probably mostly to get an in with Rosanna and set up his grandchild to the Cabot millions.)
When Rosanna found out the adoption was illegal and was forced to give back the baby, she left Craig. He again tried to lure her back by faking a heart attack. They took him to Memorial, and Ro dutifully went there to check on him. He made her promise to stick around, and as they wheeled him away, she fittingly said, "the last words between us were a lie," and prepared to leave town. She leaves Carly a blank check (to use to fulfill her dreams) and disappeared for about a year.
When she returned, Carly had just agreed to design for Paul at BRO. Paul wanted to throw his mother out of BRO, not knowing she was going blind. Carly agrees, but then Ro sweeps in and tells Carly it would be a betrayal, and Carly in a sisterly moment, agrees to back out. Ro changes her mind though because she can use Carly to get closer to Jordan. Jordan has started falling for Jennifer, and Ro gravitates toward Paul, who she had befriended when he'd been accused of Rose's murder.
The four eventually agree to cooperate to keep Cabot safe from James. James found out it was a lie and kidnapped Ro and Cabot. James put them in a cabin set to explode, and told Paul he could only save one. Paul got Ro out, and when he went back for Cabot, the cabin exploded. Everyone believed Cabot had died. Ro blames Paul and refuses to speak with him. (This is all around the time Jack went off the bridge and was also believed dead.)
While Carly ends up searching for Jack, Paul comes over to help Ro (who's watching Parker and Sage) and they rebond and agree to marry. It's Paul and Ro's wedding that sparks something in Jack's memory. (but I'm getting off track.)
James is again angry that Paul and Ro have defied him and then there's some wacky stuff with Babs giving Em drugs to terrify Ro with reminders of Cabot, and James then forces Ro to "admit" that she drugged Emily, in exchange for Cabot, who he reveals is alive. Ro and Paul break up, Ro leaves town.
When Cady McClain returns, we find out that James has Ro prisoner in Hong Kong. Craig finds her and they leave with Cabot. But realizing that James will never stop using Cabot, they hide him with unknown people in an unknown country. (how they arranged it escapes me) Since they don't t know where he is, they expect that James won't be able to find him either. THE CABOT SAGA ENDS.
Then there's the Billy/Rory/Baby Johnny story, where Craig knocked up Jennifer, switched his live son with Gwen's dead baby, adopted it with Rosanna. Rosanna found out and while driving away from Craig to tell Jenn, had a car accident and went into a coma. Paul then allowed Jen to continue to believe her son had died, knowing that Craig had switched babies and Carly and Jack were raising his nephew.

GH is mounting a murder mystery and the victim is a soap hopping star who taped their final scenes in June.
Hmmm soap hopper. Stafford? Howarth? Hearst?
