Co-Head Writers Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor have released their latest teases to Soap Opera Digest on what’s ahead in the coming months for the people of Port Charles.
It looks like summer will be simmering with a few secrets and, more importantly, a couple of new characters who are sure to upset a few unstable relationships.
Sonny sinking
Since coming back to town from Nixon Falls, Sonny (Maurice Benard) has been struggling to maintain his grip.
He may have lost it over his family, but things were marginally more secure in his business.
But both his personal and professional life are headed for more major upheaval.
Carly’s secret
Wanting to protect her family, not to mention stick it to Nina, Carly (Laura Wright) has decided to keep the truth about Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) biological mother a secret, but this is sure to come back and bite her.
The fact that Drew (Cameron Mathison) is the only one to know all this is sure to throw added friction into the works.
Michael and Willow’s new issue
Michael (Chad Duell) and Willow have some good news, but it looks like it will be crowded out by more immediate issues that she has to face.
Nina redeemed?
Even with all the recent chaos, Nina (Cynthia Watros) gets the chance to claw back some of the positive aspects of her reputation if she’s willing to take it.

Devious Valentin
Anna (Finola Hughes) is used to Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) being devious, but he may have crossed a line that she can’t cope with. As she looks for the man who Jennifer (Holly Gagnier) was last seen with, Valentin is in a perfect position to sabotage her investigation.
Valentin has other pots on the boil as well, not least of which is the attempt by Michael and Drew to oust him from ELQ.
Will his offer to Ned (Wally Kurth) be enough to sway things in his favor, or will Carly throwing her support behind her son knock off the delicate balance?

Trina’s trial will be dramatically resolved this summer, but will Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) get the evidence they need about Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl) in time?
Even if he does, the tension between Cam (Will Lipton) and Joss (Eden McCoy) over the situation may have broken the couple for good.
Liz has deeper problems
Liz (Rebecca Herbst) remains convinced that the diagnosis she receives completely resolves her recent mental problems, but Finn (Michael Easton) and Laura (Genie Francis) are sure that there is a lot more to it.
