If you hear ticking while watching General Hospital the week of May 4-8, that may be due to the fact that so many secrets are set to explode. As you’ll see in the promo below, ABC’s soap is starting May sweeps by lighting one fuse after another

Dante Closes In On the Truth

First up, as acting police chief Dante continues to investigate Cullum’s shooting — and how come nobody ever looked this hard into Cates’ or Austin’s murders? — he shares his theory with Liz, that someone got their hands on the WSB chief’s gun.

Josslyn Puts Up Her Dukes

Next up, “Nathan,” now aware that Josslyn is a WSB operative — gee, thanks, Britt — tells her that he can’t let her go. “Oh, but ya can,” she fires back by way of her fist. As well-trained as she may be, we fear she’s no match for Cassius’ brute strength. Dude’s build like a sexy brick wall!

Jack Busts Carly

Finally, having been tipped off that Carly is cheating on him, Jack bursts into her bedroom and demands to know how long the affair’s been going on and with whom she’s been sleeping. But seconds later, he may well decide that ignorance was bliss.

Why’s that? Carly’s answer is two simple words: “Turn around.” Read Laura Wright and Chris L. McKenna’s take on the big reveal here.
