General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that the search is on for Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez), so it’s only a matter of time until she’s back in Port Charles. Lulu Spencer’s (last played by Emme Rylan) coma awakening is coming up, so that’s wonderful news that’ll affect Charlotte in so many ways.

Even so, that doesn’t mean Lulu and Charlotte’s relationship will be just peachy moving forward.

Things should start off great, but the reality is that Lulu has missed a lot of Charlotte’s young life.

Charlotte isn’t the little girl she used to be and won’t want to be treated like one.

Unfortunately, Lulu is going to be horrified when she finds out about Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) shooting Charlotte and all the drama her daughter was caught up in.

That could naturally lead to Lulu wanting to keep Charlotte close and protected.

Lulu may go overboard when it comes to rules as she tries to adjust to parenting a teen – especially one that’s been problematic while she’s been comatose.

Charlotte could easily feel too controlled and start acting out again as a result.

If Charlotte has to endure a separation from Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) by coming home alone, that could give her another reason to go off the rails.

GH writers previously had the makings of an intriguing story when Charlotte started latching onto deceased Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) as someone she seemingly admired.

Charlotte even wore Helena’s necklace for a while, but the storyline was ultimately dropped.

This might be a good time for Helena’s wicked influence to return and play a role in Charlotte’s next chapter.

Lulu is facing plenty of challenges right now – including her need for a liver transplant and her comatose status.

However, fans can expect Lulu to wake up in recast form this fall as some new stories get underway.

How will things go for Lulu as she tries to settle back into the role of Charlotte and Rocco Falconeri’s (Finn Carr) mom?

Will Charlotte revert to her “bad girl” ways and once again prove she’s Helena’s twisted granddaughter?

General Hospital spoilers say Lulu has many more difficulties to come, so stick with us for predictions on the rocky road ahead and any other health updates in the meantime.
