General Hospital has been in the midst of Ava's trial for the past week, focusing significantly on Kristina's court testimonies. The charge on Ava is that she pushed Kristina out of the window of a hotel suite, which caused her to fall into the Metro Court pool and sustain heavy injuries. At the time, Kristina was pregnant with Molly and TJ's surrogate child, and she lost the baby after the accident.
Ever since the court hearings began, Molly and TJ's relationship has grown more strained. A post from Facebook user Amanda Mayle discussed whether Kristina's actions were causing the rift between the couple, and many viewers pitched in with their opinions:
Many fans felt that Molly and TJ were the ones solely responsible for their relationship falling apart, citing that their problems had begun long before Kristina was their surrogate:
However, some viewers believed that Kristina's attachment to the unborn baby that wasn't her own was the reason for the couple's disagreements and strain:
All in all, fans seem divided on whether Kristina is to blame for the unraveling of Molly and TJ's relationship.
What happened between Molly, TJ, and Kristina on General Hospital?
Molly is the daughter of Alexis Davis and Ric Lansing on General Hospital, making her Kristina's half-sister. Molly and TJ are partners on the soap currently but have been facing some strain and differences of opinion. It began earlier this year when Molly and TJ opted to have a baby via surrogacy and asked Kristina to be the surrogate mother.
During the pregnancy, Kristina started feeling a connection to the baby. She dreaded the idea of having to part with the child after giving birth. So, Kristina discussed the possibility of claiming custody of the child with her then-girlfriend Blaze.
This caused much strife with Kristina on one side and Molly and TJ on the other. The baby's parentage was almost subjected to a custody battle during this time.
However, before the situation could be resolved, Kristina met with an accident. She had gone to Ava's hotel room to confront her about a lawsuit she had against Kristina's father Sonny Corinthos.
During their argument, both women got physical, which resulted in Kristina crashing through the window of the room. She fell straight into the Metro Court pool.
Kristina was rescued and taken to the hospital but was then informed that she lost the child. Initially, Molly was very upset with her sister, insisting that she put herself at risk by going to see Ava alone. However, they soon united in their grief and mourning, directing their anger at Ava instead.
This could be a potential reason for the strain between Molly and TJ now, especially since Ava's trial is underway. Ava's court statements might act as a provocation for the couple and Kristina. However, it is also likely that TJ and Molly's relationship hurdles come into play here.
On General Hospital in 2020, Molly had cheated on TJ with Brando, but the couple got back together regardless. This fact is making fans wonder whether the relationship was already doomed or if it got worse once Kristina got involved.
