On the Friday Feb 4 closing credits, Wes Ramsey was removed from the contract credits. 

In the non-contract credits section, he wasn't listed, but ...
only half the appearing non-contract actors were credited, so he was just another one that was omitted.

Does these mean he's leaving? I have no idea.  But at least he's off contract.  The credits were for the week of January 31-February 4th.

So that means he was off contract effective January 31.

I suppose anyone could start a separate thread "GH Actor contract status change". 
But I don't know if it matters. We could have the whole celebration about his potentially leaving the show - but then like Lucy, Charlie Brown, and the football - the show would fake us out and continue torturing us.

On Friday 4th February, Sonny wants Carly to meet him for a romantic date on the Haunted Star. 

Kristina phones Carly and tells her to go meet Sonny, and Carly is upset and replies that she can't do this right now.  The way the conversation  goes, Kristina *interprets* this as Carly giving a definite "no" to Sonny's invitation.

Kristina goes to the the Haunted Star and tells Sonny that Carly is not coming.  Sonny is really upset. Kristina goes to work at Charlie's.  Kristina is on the phone telling Molly how upset Sonny is and that he is alone on the Haunted Star and she's worried. Obrecht is at Charlie's and overhears this.  Obrecht tells Nina, and then Nina immediately goes to the Haunted Star to check on Sonny.

Meanwhile Carly and Drew talk. Carly says she is uncertain about meeting Sonny at the Haunted Star. Drew tries to get Carly to consider going. She might go there later after all.

---
SOD has an article: week of 7th February. "Sonny and Nina make love".
Main points: Sonny is on the Haunted Star. He is off his meds, and he thinks Carly has completely rejected him and all hope is lost. Nina arrives at the Haunted Star to check on him ... and then they make love. 

______________________________________________________

The other big thing that happened. Thursday 3rd Feb, Peter was being transported to the prison and the vehicle was stopped. Dante and Mac were shot. Another officer was killed. Friday 4th Feb, Dante is in hospital but okay. Mac is in hospital in critical condition.  Peter kidnapped Bailey/Louise.

So this sets up two things for February: the hunt for the baby, and worries about Mac's recovery.

This is from the ABC/Disney press release about Luke's memorial on Jan 21st:
"As the town says goodbye to Luke, an exciting new mystery unfolds.
Meanwhile, life continues to unravel for the rest of Port Charles as a beloved couple comes to a fork in the road of their relationship."

_______________
These appear to be February sweeps hints. 

The "exciting new mystery" is probably about the Ice Princess.

I wondered who is the "beloved couple" coming to a fork in the road their relationship? And then I realized oh yeah the show considers Sonny and Carly to be beloved (barf!)
 

What exactly is it about off his meds Sonny that is attractive to Nina, to the point where she has to bone him then and there? She really does not love herself.

That is a really good question.  In the SOD article about this, MB says that when Sonny was Mike, he really was in love with Nina - and although he regained his full memory and loves Carly, he has not shut off his love for Nina, so that love is still there.  He doesn't use these words but it seems like he's saying he's still in love with Nina while *also* being in love with Carly.  MB seems to regard this as real love.  And MB has said that in other interviews/tweets/whatever, that Sonny loves Nina.

But your point remains valid!  She shouldn't be be having her first sexual time with him when she knows he's in the middle of a bipolar flare-up and extremely distraught.  He does love her but the timing is all wrong. She shouldn't be that desperate.  She should help him seek therapy and then wait until he's stabilized and then they can pursue whatever they want.  I guess she's rationalizing it that they are already in love so why not? But still.

The special date that Sonny had planned for Carly on the Haunted Star - had Sonny dressed in a white-jacket tuxedo.  Apparently he was trying to recreate (on the Haunted Star) something from their tropical honeymoon or something - a big gesture. Carly was resistant to that type of pressure.

This is obviously a set-up for Carly to change her mind and show up at the Haunted Star, and walk in on Sonny/Nina having sex.  That's not spoiled but it's obvious because this is a soap.

Do we have any idea who Terry’s date is going to be? I’m still shocked they’re finally giving her a love interest. I can’t imagine which character it could be with though. 

This must be from filming the date. I'm so curious!

Well, I'm happy to see Tracy will be around for the vow renewal which must be coming up fast. 

 

Yaasssss to that news on Alexis and Harmony. 

 

But has Nina ever dealt with Sonny off his meds? It doesn't even seem like Carly is noticing and she has more experience. Laura DEFINITELY knows what's up from the episodes I'm watching. So tbf...

I’m a random person who loves that character so I’m not mad at it. That makes sense considering they are only going to invest so much in a trans character since they think it’s the 50s.

Fri. Feb. 18 - "An unseasonable heatwave hits Port Charles."
Would that be Victor playing with an ice princess weather machine?

Hmmmm could this lead to a natual disaster to rid the show of some excess baggage, a la an ice storm, a tornado and/or flood?   Hopefully so, hopefully bu-bye to Peter, Austin, Marshall, Amy, and hopefully but probably not to Willow & Michael.

I get why she fell for Mike and still has feelings for who he was. But they’re showing Sonny as fairly awful to her and also showing her as weak and groveling. I wish she was just a bit more Ava about it all - enjoying the mess and going for what she wants. The CarSon fans are going to call her evil no matter what. But this show, always plays anyone in the CarSon orbit this way.
