But who would have figured that the face of defiance against the deadly coronavirus would be a 100-year-old former soldier, reliant upon a wheeled walking frame to get around? Captain Sir Tom Moore, a little moustachioed giant in a gold-buttoned blazer, paced up and down his garden last year with the hope of raising £1,000 �...

General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) will realize he has to make a bold move if he expects to get his mother back. Florence Grey (Annie Abbott) has been kidnapped, so that’s obviously been a huge cause for concern.

That of course was due to the return of the Stone of Destiny to Scotland, after four student nationalists removed the ancient artefact from Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day in 1950.
