General Hospital November Sweeps: Holly’s True Motives, Carly Crashes, Trina’s Choice, and Dante’s Secret

General Hospital Co-Head Writers, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor provided Soap Opera Digest with a glimpse at what’s ahead for the residents of Port Charles during November sweeps.

What’s coming up for November Sweeps on GH?

It’s November and in Port Charles that means yet another ruined Thanksgiving.

But as the pizza orders roll in, a new character (played by Alley Mills) tied to the city’s history and families shows up.

Why is Holly really back

Robert (Tristan Rogers), Mac (John J. York), Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and the rest of Anna’s (Finola Hughes) friends have been rallying around her ever since Victor (Charles Shaughnessy) framed her for apparently shooting Lucy (Lynn Herring).

Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) is forced to look for help in an unusual place, but it’s far from clear whether Holly (Emma Samms) is on board with helping Devane out of her pain.

Making matters worse, it looks like Robert’s feelings for his back-from-the-dead-ex-wife could be clouding his judgement about what she’s really doing back in town.

Will Carly and Drew crash

Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) finally got together in Florida, but their journey of healing may have already hit a snag.

As much as they think they’re ready to move on from the past, the past doesn’t seem so willing to let go.

Appropriately enough, Nina (Cynthia Watros) is the one to catch Carly compromising herself, but what will she use this as leverage for?

Maybe she’ll use her new hold on her enemy to try and get to the bottom of what TJ (Tequan Richmond) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have been hiding from everyone?

Dex in the middle

Meanwhile, it may finally be time for Sonny (Maurice Benard) to feel betrayed as he enlists Dex (Evan Hofer) in his latest scheme to help a friend.

This may be just the opportunity Michael (Chad Duell) needs to turn the tables on Sonny. It’s certainly keeping him distracted from what’s wrong with Willow.

This complicated situation is making things tenser for Dex.

While his motives in general are unclear, he is clearly developing feelings for Joss. It looks like these are being reciprocated and Cam (William Lipton) could soon wind up in the cold.

Escape from Cassadine castle

Esme (Avery Pohl) may be locked in a tower, but that hasn’t stopped her from scheming about how she can get ahead in the game.

She’s hardly the only problem that Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) is facing.

Digging up more than she bargained for.

In order to help Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) get a little leeway in the jam he landed himself in, Sam (Kelly Monaco) digs into Cody’s (Josh Kelly) past some more.

Unfortunately, this will also mean stumbling on something that Dante (Dominic Zamprogna)  has buried.

As Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) begins coming to terms with the tender feelings she’s developing for Cody, something from her past casts its shadow over her future.

His past also seems to be catching up with him and it doesn’t look like it will end how either of them want.
