The General Hospital Recap for Tuesday, April 22, 2025, reveals a day full of emotional turmoil, shocking confessions, and underhanded tactics. Carly secretly moved ahead with her custody plot while Nina remained unaware. Ric remembered the truth about his crash, and Kristina almost cracked under pressure.
Meanwhile, Kai’s risky surgery plan moved forward, triggering tension with Portia and Curtis. Let’s break down all the drama from this intense episode.
Ava’s Return Sparks Trouble
Ava Jerome returned to GH with bold flair, flaunting expensive purchases that raised red flags. Ric Lansing wasn’t impressed. He warned her that flaunting wealth could spark suspicions, especially with blackmail still in play. Trying to calm the chaos, Ric advised her to have the money transferred gradually.
Ava, ever impulsive, found Ric’s guidance oddly attractive. One thing led to another. She shut the blinds, and the two ended up in a steamy hospital hookup.
General Hospital Recap: Diane and Alexis Clash Over Kristina
Elsewhere, Diane Miller cornered Alexis Davis with more pressure about Kristina. She pushed for Kristina’s psychiatric commitment, but Alexis wasn’t budging. Instead, she urged Diane to shred the documents and back off. Diane hesitated but chose a middle ground—she tucked the papers into a file, undecided but not committed.
Over at Elizabeth’s place, Kristina arrived while Lucky Spencer watched over the home. She was torn with guilt, haunted by nightmares, and considered confessing everything. Lucky stepped in to reason with her. He reminded her that a confession could ruin more than it would repair.
Kristina eventually calmed down. She promised to move forward, learn from her mistakes, and drop her vendetta against Ava for good.
Alexis later visited Ric at GH. What started as a tense conversation turned into a shocker. Ric revealed he remembered the crash. He knew Kristina was behind it, even if her target was Ava, not him. The reveal shattered their fragile truce. Though Alexis was furious, she found slight relief in Ric’s promise to stay quiet. Still, his smug attitude made the moment unbearable.
Trina Seeks Strength in Curtis
At a nearby café, Curtis Ashford sat down with Trina Robinson. The two opened up about Kai Taylor’s upcoming surgery. Curtis helped Trina see the importance of standing by Kai. She nodded, realizing her support mattered more now than ever.
Back at Drew Cain’s place, Kai shared his decision. He was ready for surgery, despite the risks. Drew appreciated Kai’s courage and promised to help. He offered to call the specialist and fast-track the procedure.
But Drew also had a special request. He wanted Kai’s journey documented. He believed Kai’s story deserved to be told. After a pause, Kai agreed to the idea.
Soon after, Portia Robinson learned the guest surgeon would operate next week. She stormed into Drew’s home, demanding answers. Drew didn’t flinch. He reminded Portia that if she pushed too hard, her past lab tampering could be exposed.
Curtis arrived and sided with Portia. Both expressed concern about Kai’s surgery. But Drew refused to delay things, standing firm on his decision.
Outside, Portia and Curtis argued over whether peace was even possible. Portia remained hopeful. Curtis wasn’t so sure. Meanwhile, Trina met with Kai, who confirmed the surgery schedule. Though she smiled, her anxiety was written all over her face.
General Hospital Recap: Carly Plays Dirty in Custody War
Back in Carly Spencer’s kitchen, tension rose between her and Nina Reeves. Nina accused Carly of crossing a line during her visit to Drew’s and stirred the pot with Nelle-related jabs. Carly played it cool, acting like their custody partnership was still intact.
Nina left convinced they were working together for a 50-50 split. But as soon as she was gone, Carly made her real move. She called Diane and began pushing for a custody hearing—without warning anyone.
Jason Pushes Willow to Act
At the Quartermaine mansion, Willow opened up to Jason Morgan. She felt stuck in the middle of the custody war and unsure how to move forward. Jason offered simple advice—go see Michael and settle things face to face.
Willow took the suggestion seriously. But with everything heating up, unexpected news could shake up her next move.
And that wraps up today’s General Hospital Recap. With secrets exposed and plots thickening, Port Charles keeps us hooked day after day.
