by Carol Banks Weber
**Todds sudden appearance shakes up the town of Port Charles.
Todd tries to be by Starrs side, as soon as he receives word.
Blair takes one look at Todd at GH and greets him with a sucker punch.
Todd and Blair stay close to a recuperating Starr.
Fate puts Todd in Carlys vicinity at the Metro Court. Hes getting a hotel room there when he chats her up.
Todd doesnt give away his identity to Carly, but the two strike up a friendly conversation about family, and his daughter convalescing at GH.
Todd complains that he isnt allowed near his daughter. Carly feels bad for him, because shes going through the same thing with Jason.
Todd and Carly put their heads together to come up with a creative way to sneak into GH to see their loved ones.
Starr rouses from her medicated slumber, to find her dad Todd there, worried.
Starr doesnt let Todd off the hook for all hes done, but, she doesnt dismiss him outright. She loves him too much.
Starr allows Todd to come closer and is nice to him as he frets over her.
Todd tells Starr he will do anything to help her through this.
Starr hassles Michael about the car accident and his promise, etc.
Both Blair and Michael make inroads with Starr.
A major trial commences
When Starr blames Sonny for the car accident, Todd makes a beeline for the mobster.
Todd threatens to grind Sonny to dust for this travesty. A gun may be involved.
Watch out, Sonny, here comes Todd Manning from OLTL.
Todd gets in Sonnys face, as the two go toe to toe.
Blair burns Carlys ear with warnings about Todds dangerous tendencies.
Det. John McBain is here from Llanview (OLTL) to find Todd.
OLTLs Detective John McBain converges on Sonny, with unfinished business. These two are very familiar with one another.
John puts Sonny on notice that justice will be served, personally. Sonny mustve really pissed John off in the past.
Sonny makes a pest out of himself by interrogating Carly about whether she and Johnny are doing it.
Carly rails at scapegoat Alexis, but maybe she should direct her hostility to the proper source.
Alexis worries that Sonny will come undone because of Carly taking up with Johnny.
Dante digs into the strange case of the car accident, coming up with the real possibility it was someone else as the culprit, not necessarily Sonny.
Dante puts Sonny through the wringer about this case.
Dante and Delores pursue a lead away from Sonny and into Kates office, starting with this gun they picked up.
Patrick and Anna put finishing touches on Robins funeral. But those who mourn her are going through it big time.
Its gotten so bad with Robert that hes giving thought to ending his life. Luke to the rescue?
Luke could turn things around for Robert by introducing him to another child he never knew, Ethan.
Luke does everything in his power to help Robert and lift him out from the depths of despair.
Robert talks Anna into letting him do what he must do, its that pivotal.
Anna asks a huge favor of Elizabeth.
It becomes Lukes full-time job to bodyguard Ethan, so Helena doesnt come after him again.
Holly prevails upon Ethan to cease and desist in his vendetta against a lethal Helena.
Holly suffers from misgivings about what she said to Robert and Luke.
Sam continues to keep the secret of Robins death, and now, upcoming funeral, from Jason. She talks Alexis and Molly into doing the same. Maybe she shouldve emphasized the memo to Carly, who does what she feels like.
Sam goes after Carly to shut her mouth (or whatever), when she runs into Ewen, full bore.
Sam cant be everywhere at once, censoring everybody in sight. Spinelli blurts a weird statement that has Jason in a tizzy to locate Robin, STAT.
Robins funeral deteriorates, although many mean well.
Monica and Tracy quarrel at the most inopportune moment, when theyre supposed to focus on and pay their respects to Robin. Edward suffers for it.
When it hits Maxie what she (accidentally) started in that lab explosion, she may need therapy for the rest of her life. She definitely aches to share this with Lulu.
Maxie goes to town, unraveling in multiple ways at Robins funeral.
Matt bolsters Elizabeth as she mourns Robins passing.
A gun goes off, as is typical on this mob-centered show. All hands on deck! Pin drop.
Maxie takes on an awful lot of accountability for whats transpired, even though Ewen urges her to be easier on herself and Matt expresses caring for her mental state.
Johnny delves into the mystery of Kate, aka Connie, aka Fonnie, aka Bonnie.
Johnny deduces with horrifying clarity that Kate suffers from multiple personality disorder.
One of Kates alters is trying to split Sonny and Kate up, and bring Johnny into play for this endeavor.
Johnny faces quite the dilemma. He could do what Kates alter wants, and lose Carly forever, or
Ewen goes to Crimson, sees Kate, and tries to counsel the troubled woman.
Delores has been acting squirrelly, which raises the suspicions of Lulu and Dante.
