General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Risks Losing Valentin as Anna Rekindles Old Feelings?

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) will take a risk in love soon on the ABC soap.

She’ll put her heart on the line to let Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) help his longtime obsession, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes)!

Key Takeaways

• Carly risks her relationship by trusting Valentin.
• Valentin agrees to help Anna through therapy.
• Anna warns Carly about Valentin’s longtime obsession.
• Old memories could reignite unresolved romantic feelings.
• Carly could lose Valentin if he grows closer to Anna.

Carly Already Agreed To Let Valentin Help Anna In Her Therapy

Carly already agreed to let Valentin help Anna in her therapy because she needed someone who knew her and was there during the time she was struggling with Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).

The only other person would have been Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), but Valentin knew her even longer.

As previously revealed in Anna’s struggle to recover from her traumatic experiences, Valentin has remained deeply concerned about her emotional well-being.

Valentin followed who he thought at the time was Anna when she had her baby, who was later revealed to be Heinrik Faison, aka Peter August (Wes Ramsey), and “Anna” was really her twin.

Anna wouldn’t marry Robert until after they all left WSB spy school, but she would continue to be chased by Faison for many years after that.

And then came the terror of believing she did give birth to Peter after being in a memory-mapping experiment with her twin Alex Devane (Finola Hughes).

Finally, she was able to separate her memories from Alex’s in a huge step forward.

Anna Had Feared Carly Wouldn’t Understand Valentin’s Longtime Obsession With Her

Valentin was borderline obsessed with Anna starting in spy school, when he was suffering from an extreme case of scoliosis and went by the name “Ivan Theodore.”

It was like a real-life version of Beauty and the Beast, although he wasn’t nearly as grotesque as Quasimodo, of The Hunchback of Notre Dame fame.

Valentin may have thought so, however, and didn’t think he’d ever have a chance with Anna, although he loved her for years and years.

In fact, the question of whether Valentin’s heart truly belongs to Carly or Anna has already been raised.

So Anna warned Carly about Valentin being involved in her therapy sessions, explaining that sometimes reliving and discussing old times and memories can bring people closer.

She was very honest about Valentin’s years-long obsession with her, even though Carly didn’t seem to be too worried.

Valentin Was Involved With Other Women Through All The Years He Was Still Obsessed With Anna

Valentin was involved with other women through all the years he was still obsessed with Anna, including when he was with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and married to her!

There was always that underlying obsession, and it would continue to be a factor at times, although he generally remained committed to whoever he was with at the time.

As Anna and Valentin’s complicated relationship history has shown, their emotional connection has never been easy to leave behind.

But when Anna broke up with Valentin, it was because of Charlotte Cassadine’s (Bluesy Burke) emotional problems.

Charlotte had burned down Anna’s brownstone and broken into an apartment she moved into.

Anna thought she was a burglar and shot her in the stomach, and couldn’t forgive herself.

Valentin’s heart was broken when she broke up with him, but it was an untenable situation that left unresolved feelings.

And that’s the risk Carly takes: Valentin getting too close to Anna.

Annemarie’s Take

Carly may believe she can trust Valentin, but Anna is a woman he has loved for years. Helping Anna work through her painful memories could bring those old feelings rushing back.

Is Carly being understanding, or is she setting herself up for heartbreak?
