Callbacks[]

  • In 1981, Diana Taylor was shot to death. Jeff Webber was accused of her death as he had been one of the last people to see her alive. Anne Logan was also a suspect since Heather Webber wrote "ANNE" in blood next to Diana's body. It was revealed Heather's mother Alice Grant was the real killer.
  • Also in 1981, the Quartermaines, the Cassadines, the Spencers, and the W.S.B. were all looking for the Ice Princess - a large uncut diamond whose base contained the formula for a powerful weapon. After tracking it down to an underground bunker on Cassadine Island, Luke Spencer defeated Mikkos Cassadine, who was attempting to use the formula to freeze the world.
  • In 2013, the storyline from the defunct General Hospital spin-off series, Port Charles was revisited on GH for a month-long arc, with Michael Easton reprising his role of Caleb Morley while portraying his One Life to Live character, Lt. John McBain. However, GH retconned the story to say that "Caleb Morley" was actually Stephen Clay, a rock musician who snapped after losing his wife, Livvie Locke-Clay. Although Caleb was killed off on February 28, it was shown on March 4 that the medical examiner who Anna Devane and Lucy Coe talked to was actually dead on the table and Caleb walked out alive with the ring. The morgue twist ending happened to make the "Port Charles" fans happy.
  • Also in 2013, Connie wrote "AJ" in blood after she was shot. A.J. Quartermaine was immediately a suspect of her murder and he had also been one of the last people to see her alive. It was revealed that Connie meant to identify "Ava Jerome" as her killer when she wrote "AJ".
  • The Bacchanalia Ball (1998) was paid tribute to by Nikolas Cassadine with the Black and White Ball (2007) which also took place at Wyndemere Castle.
  • B.J.'s Heart (1994)/Nelle's Kidney (2011)

  • Cole Alive?: In 2013, a year after Cole Thornhart and daughter Hope Manning-Thornhart are killed in a car accident, someone is seen on the same stretch of road watching Starr and Michael from the bushes but we never found out who it was. Possibly also dropped due to the Prospect Park lawsuit.

  • Dating Bandit?: After Dev is accused of being the dating bandit, the storyline is dropped and the real culprit is never revealed.

Major Rewritten Stories[]

  • Jake Spencer's Death/Josslyn Jacks's Kidney: Originally in 2011, Jake's kidney was donated to Josslyn after he died, but the story was rewritten in 2015 to make Jake turn out to be alive, which led to Nelle Benson's introduction in 2016 and revealed her to be Josslyn's kidney donor by way of Jax buying one off the black market from Frank Benson.
  • Fluke: In early 2014, Luke began acting out of character after being rescued from Miscavige with Scott Baldwin. In March, he was revealed to be Julian Jerome's backer and boss who was trying to take down Sonny Corinthos. In May, it was revealed that the "Luke" that was rescued was an impostor and the real Luke was still in Miscavige. The plan was originally for "Fluke" to be Luke's doppelgänger cousin, Bill Eckert back from the dead, but in 2015, the story was changed to make "Fluke" turn out to be Luke all along with a split personality. The story concluded on April 1, 2015.
  • Hayden Barnes's Shooting: Originally done in 2015, the story was later retconned in 2021 so that everyone who knew that Nikolas Cassadine had Hayden shot suddenly forgot.
