Considering Ellen Travolta will only be on "General Hospital" for three episodes, the clash with the Bratva will probably be short. But it'll hopefully be just enough to align Yuri and Sonny Corinthos, who's going to need all the allies he can muster if he's going to take on whatever surprise Cyrus Renault is plotting. Ever since Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), Sonny's chief enforcer, was killed in 2021, Sonny hasn't fully filled the void he left behind. He's got the incredibly capable Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) working for him, but he's also going to need extreme muscle in the form of Yuri.

So far, we haven't seen him in any brawls or gunfights, so a clash with bad guys could be a great way to find out Yuri's real strength. Cyrus Hobbi has created a very nice and lovable character, especially in his romance with Dr. Terry Randolph (Cassandra James). Hobbi is also an accomplished football player in real life, and although he recently broke his leg playing the game on Thanksgiving, we're sure he'll recover quickly and bring his impressive physique and athletic skills to the table when the need arises. And Yuri's face turned completely serious and menacing when he offered to help Gloria Cerullo, so we're sure he means business.

We're excited to see how this story plays out, and will hopefully have more Yuri in front-burner storylines to come!
