The latest General Hospital recap for August 7, 2025, brought poolside tension, family clashes, and a daring move from Anna Devane. Relationships faced tests while hidden agendas took center stage, keeping Port Charles tangled in intrigue and emotional confrontations. Here’s everything that happened in this action-packed installment.
Ava’s Poolside Distraction and Cody’s Bold Move
At General Hospital’s pool, Ava Jerome tried to lure Ric Lansing into an afternoon swim. Ric declined, claiming work obligations, but his attention seemed fixed on Elizabeth Baldwin instead. Refusing to waste the sunny day, Ava invited Cody Bell, who happily accepted.
Cody wasted no time teasing Ava about Ric’s poor judgment. Their playful banter soon escalated into flirtation. When Ava cooled herself with an ice cube, she shared the sensation with Cody. Kristina Corinthos-Davis happened upon the scene, spotted the close moment, and quickly whisked Molly Lansing-Davis away to the lake instead. Unfazed, Ava urged Cody to take a risk despite their past tension — and sealed the moment with a kiss.
General Hospital Recap: Kristina’s Guilt and Alexis’ Manipulation
At the Metro Court restaurant, Alexis Davis updated Kristina on her scheme to separate Ric and Ava, claiming it was working. Kristina remained skeptical, feeling guilty over sabotaging Molly’s potential romance with Cody. Molly soon joined them, leading to a discussion about spending time with Scout Cain.
Elsewhere, Drew Cain pressed Jenz Sidwell for dirt on Sonny Corinthos to help Willow Tait regain custody of her children. When Sidwell resisted, Drew issued a thinly veiled threat. Later, Drew met with Martin Grey, who admitted nothing could be done legally for Willow just yet.
Ric’s Secret Exit Strategy
In a surprising twist, Ric approached Martin with a request to sever his partnership with Ava without her knowledge. The conversation made it clear Ric’s business ties were strained and he wanted out before Ava could react.
Back at the pool, Anna Devane arrived with Outback, her barking dog. Concerned about building rules and potential eviction, Anna confronted Emma Scorpio-Drake and Giovanni Palmieri. They convinced her to bring the dog to work, but Gio’s sudden interest in Emma’s lecture attendance raised suspicion.
General Hospital Recap: Anna’s Fire Department Gamble
Trina Robinson urged Emma to reconsider taking a research assistant position with Professor Hank Dalton, warning about his shady reputation. Anna, suspecting Emma might act against Dalton, contacted the fire department to prompt an inspection of the lecture hall. Her plan succeeded in canceling the event, but Emma vowed not to abandon her mission.
Anna later met Laura Collins at City Hall, hiding Outback to avoid HOA scrutiny. Mabel, the HOA president, barged in with a barking complaint — complete with a recorded clip. Outback’s own bark exposed the deception, forcing Laura to suggest Anna find the dog a new home.
Jordan’s Investigation and Sidwell’s Unease
Jordan Ashford continued probing Sidwell’s activities, suspecting shady dealings with Marco Rios. She confided in Laura about needing to go deeper to prove her trustworthiness, but Laura warned about the risks.
Meanwhile, Sidwell met with Lucy Coe and Jordan, learning about Deception’s decision not to hand over incriminating evidence against Sonny. Lucy hoped Maxie Jones would stay quiet, but Sidwell’s unsettled expression hinted the matter was far from resolved.
