How long will Molly be kept in the dark on General Hospital?

For the past year, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) has really been put through the ringer on General Hospital. First, she lost the baby she was having with TJ (Tajh Bellow) when her surrogate and sister, Kristina (Kate Mansi), fell through the window of the Metro Court and landed in the pool. Then she learned that Kristina was planning to keep the baby for herself. Her final heartache was when she and TJ, after suffering from all that emotional strain, decided to call it quits after being a couple for over a decade.

We feel like Molly needs a break now. But instead, all the primary members of her family are keeping destructive secrets from her. Each one of these secrets could ruin her relationships with those loved ones.

Kristina, when will you ever learn?

As if Kristina's actions regarding Molly's unborn baby weren't bad enough, now her behavior has gotten even worse. Wait until Molly learns that Kristina cut the brakes of her father Ric's (Rick Hearst) car, thinking it was Ava's (Maura West), and Ric and his passenger Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) got into a serious accident that put them both in the hospital. Molly will be furious with Kristina all over again, this time because her dad could have been killed due to her sister's reckless, impulsive actions. It's going to be a tear-jerker storyline all over again, and after they've finally bonded as sisters, to boot. Molly will feel probably like there's no point in giving Kristina second chances anymore, because she's too irresponsible and untrustworthy.

And as if all that weren't bad enough, wait until Molly finds out that Kristina has been hiring Cody (Josh Kelly) to seduce Ava away from Ric to break them up so they will stop blackmailing Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Molly is smitten with Cody, but now Kristina's actions are keeping them apart.

Ric, how could you blackmail the mother of your child?

Ric is a scumbag for blackmailing Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) after discovering that Kristina was the reason he got in the car accident. We get that he has a right to be angry, but to conspire with Ava and blackmail the mother of his child and extort money from baby Ace's trust fund is atrocious.

Molly has a close relationship with her dad. But once she finds out what he's been doing to her mother, that's sure to change. Unlike him, Molly would never abuse the law. She's a crusader of justice and one of the only people Ric truly loves. Will he lose his only child's love once she discovers his dirty secret?

Alexis, it's time to give Kristina some tough love

Fans are frustrated that Alexis has been coddling Kristina and protecting her instead of holding her accountable for her actions. Once Molly learns that her mother is allowing Ric and Ava to blackmail her, and that she's taking money out of Ace's trust fund and giving it to them to keep Kristina from going to prison, she's going to have a huge problem with that as her daughter — and as a fellow lawyer.

Molly already went through hell last year when she discovered that Alexis secretly drew up papers naming Kristina as the mother of the baby she was carrying for Molly. Learning about the blackmail is going to pour salt in Molly's already deep wounds, as Alexis has always treated Kristina like her favorite child.

Molly is going to have trust issues with her entire family once she discovers the things they've been doing behind her back. Will she cut ties with all of them?

Molly and Cody could be a fun couple, if only Kristina would let them be

Cody and Molly were so cute together when they posed for the cameras at the Nurses' Ball in May. We know he's a grey character who's not above doing shady things (like being Kristina's hired gigolo), but he has a good heart. Molly could be a positive influence on him, and she could use a nice frothy romance after all the drama and heartache she endured last year. He's already had a positive influence on her, now that she has started writing again after he spotted her reading a romance novel. If only he would get out of this arrangement with Kristina, maybe he and Molly could get together. Maybe he can be the person she confides in after she discovers all her family's secrets.
