Carly and Michael Corinthos’ business merger goes kaput on ‘General Hospital’

Business drama is a top soap opera story, and the latest Port Charles turmoil involved ELQ. Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) had a tough decision involving his family’s company. Ned’s main goal was to oust Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) as CEO. With the help of Michael and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Ned was ready to make it happen.

However, Michael and Drew’s plan to merge ELQ with Aurora Media caused doubts in Ned. As if things weren’t complicated enough, Carly had to insert herself into the picture. Carly was certain Michael and Drew’s plan would work, so she sold her shares in Metro Court to invest in the upcoming merger.

In the June 27 General Hospital episode, Ned made his decision, yet it wasn’t the one Carly and Michael wanted. Ned sided with Valentin, who informed Michael and Drew the merger wasn’t happening.
