Lily’s Return: Is Sabrina Really Sonny and Lily’s Daughter?

The General Hospital LIVE episode last Friday left fans in awe with just about every scene. From Nikolas, Elizabeth, and Hayden, to Sam and Jake, Anna, Sabrina, and Carlos, to Nina and Franco… but at the end of the episode, fans got a huge shock! It was a blast from the past to see General Hospital’s Lily Rivera (Lilly Melgar) roll the credits of Friday’s show.
Lilly Melgar played Sonny’s love interest, wife, and mother of his unborn child, Lily Rivera. Sonny (Maurice Benard) lost his wife and unborn child to a car bomb that was set up by her own father, Sonny being the target.
The death of Lily had a huge part in making Sonny’s character who he is today. The tragic event has toxified his love life, causing him to resist with all serious relationships, fearing the worst. The whole reason Sonny left Brenda (Vanessa Marcil) at the altar is because he was afraid that everyone he gets close to will die.
Sabrina Santiago (Teresa Castillo) and Carlos Rivera (Jeffrey Vincent Parise, coincidentally with the same last name as Lily), have been romantically involved for many years. Sabrina came to Port Charles with the story that her mother was a nurse, but has passed away. General Hospital rumors are floating around, claiming that Sabrina’s story about her mom is untrue, and that she is actually the daughter of Lily Rivera and Sonny Corinthos. Did Sonny’s wife and child actually die that night in the car bomb, or have they surfaced, alive and well, decades later?

Previously, General Hospital Blog reported that long time GH vet, Ian Buchanan is leaving General Hospital. Ian Buchanan made the annoucement to fans through social media. GH fans, especially fans od Duke and Anna are saddened by the news of his departure.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ric is Threatened by Hayden

So far, things seem to be going swimmingly for Ric Lansing. He set his plan in motion and it is accomplishing his goal for getting Elizabeth away from Jake (Jason Morgan). Although Ric is unaware that Jake Doe is actually Jason Morgan, he is still hell bent on keeping him out of Liz’s reach. Ric wants his chance at love with Elizabeth and he is doing everything in his power to make that happen.

Hayden has been pretending to be Jake’s long lost wife, as she was hired by Ric to do just that. Apparently, Hayden hasn’t been properly compensated for a job well done at this point in time, and she is out for payment. She makes a threat for Ric to pay up or else… would she dare spill Ric’s secret and blow the entire thing out of the water?

This week on General Hospital, things may start to unravel for Ric. Will he be able to keep Liz once she finds out he is behind this scam involving Hayden and Jake?
