Are baby daddy dilemmas coming to General Hospital?

General Hospital has four characters involved in a wonderfully soapy mess that can only result in a pregnancy or two, right? With Willow and Michael's recent extramarital escapades, the pitter-patter of little feet might be just around the corner.

Willow and Michael branch out on General Hospital

After spending months refusing to treat her cancer and spending even more months waiting for the bone marrow to arrive once her cancer had progressed to stage 4, one would think that pure and perfect Willow (who had already cheated on one husband) would want to embrace her family and be grateful for all she had rather than lusting after an older man.

However, that's not Willow. She couldn't fight her attraction to Drew and ended up kissing him on the Fourth of July and again the night that John Cates was killed. After Michael learned the truth, he had a drunken romp with his ex, Sasha, only to come home to Willow and have sex with her on the couch.

Hypocrite Willow then turned around and blamed Sasha for her problems because she told Cody about the kisses. When Sasha rightly called Willow out and told her the person who kissed a man who was not her husband was to blame, Willow proclaimed the only thing she cared about was saving her marriage. About five minutes later, Willow had sex with Drew on the playroom floor.

Pregnant anyone?

If nobody gets pregnant from this little plot, then GH is not a soap. With Michael sleeping with two women in a 12-hour period, surely he got one or both of them pregnant. With Willow sleeping with two men in a 12-hour period, surely she is also now pregnant.

Can you imagine this doubly soapy mess playing out? Michael possibly impregnates two women but knows that he might not be the father or his wife's child because he is aware of her romp with Drew. If Sasha also becomes pregnant, she will try to keep the identity of her baby daddy a secret so as not to hurt Willow.

We could also end up with the Ultimate Soap Plot, where Willow finds herself pregnant with twins — and they have two different fathers. Guiding Light pioneered that story when Blake slept with Ross and Rick the same night. Days of our Lives took it a step further when Sami slept with Lucas before EJ raped her, resulting in Allie and Johnny.

GH spent months this year with non-soapy humdrum plots that didn't go anywhere, but this messy Quartermaine sex scandal could produce a ripple effect of stories for years to come.
