After watching the recent episode of General Hospital Season 61, fans are enraged about an unexpected tragedy that occurs with Kristina. In a shocking turn of events, she and her baby’s lives are put in danger, making her pregnancy storyline invalid. Many viewers believe that the makers shouldn’t have diverted their attention from Kristina’s pregnancy to Sonny. Moreover, they feel the show should have branched out a new storyline from the baby’s birth.
So, what happens to Kristina’s baby in General Hospital Season 61? Here’s everything you need to know on why fans are furious about the character’s pregnancy storyline in the show.
Did Kristina’s baby die in General Hospital Season 61?
Sadly, Kristina’s baby did not survive in General Hospital Season 61.
Previously, Molly wanted to become a mother but her endometriosis diagnosis restricted her from conceiving. Hence, she decided to go for surrogacy, but a tragedy occurs as her surrogate experiences miscarriage. Being Molly’s biological sister, Kristina gets convinced to carry her and TJ’s future child. However, in a recent episode, the eight and a half months pregnant Kristina gets into a tragic accident.
Kristina visits Ava and they get into an intense argument in her hotel suite. Unfortunately, she accidentally trips over a duffle bag, causing her to fall out of the window from the 5th floor. Kristina lands in the Metro Court pool and is immediately rushed to the hospital. Initially, both her and the child’s lives are in danger, making everyone worried about their survival. But soon, it’s revealed that the baby died.
Why are people angry with Kristina’s pregnancy arc in General Hospital?
Viewers have been angered at Kristina’s pregnancy story arc as they feel the makers didn’t give enough emotional depth to the baby’s demise. Instead, their focus was more on Sonny and his fake bipolar medications.
After hearing about the baby’s demise, the show gives Molly and TJ just a few minutes to mourn their biological baby’s loss. The story is quick to escalate to Sonny’s arc and how he reacts, discovering his bipolar condition being treated by placebo pills. Evidently, the lack of emotional depth and the abrupt end to Kristina’s pregnancy arc has seemingly irked fans.
Viewers even took to social media to share their thoughts on the same. Fans likely expected Kristina’s niece to survive and wanted to see her love the baby dearly. They also expected a custody battle between Molly and Kristina. However, they felt their expectations were spoilt when the makers removed the baby from the storyline. As a result, some fans even suggested alternate endings for Kristina’s pregnancy arc on X (formerly Twitter).
New episodes of General Hospital Season 61 are currently airing on ABC.
