In this General Hospital Recap, Brad says goodbye, Dante threatens legal action, and Drew fights back publicly. The May 8 episode delivered high-stakes drama across Port Charles. From explosive confrontations to shifting alliances, each scene pushed characters closer to collapse—and set the stage for even bigger fallout in the days ahead.
Brad Leaves With a Bang
At General Hospital, Brad Cooper strutted through the halls wearing a flashy suit and a confident grin. It didn’t take long for Lucas and Elizabeth to hear the news—Brad was leaving town. Their reactions were mixed, but privately, they agreed this might be a relief for Portia, given their recent clashes.
Meanwhile, Portia placed a tense call to Nina, urging her to turn on the news immediately. Nina pulled up the live stream at the Metro Court—and what she saw only fueled her rage.
General Hospital Recap: Drew Goes Public
Drew Cain stood in front of reporters, delivering a bold statement. He explained how he was maliciously drugged and vowed to bring the culprit to justice. Standing beside him in solidarity was Willow, which only added fuel to Nina’s growing fury.
Nina vented to Curtis, still shocked Willow could support Drew after the escort scandal. Curtis suspected Drew was framed, which deepened the tension. While Nina fumed, Drew met privately with Tracy, Jordan, Jenz, and Marco to strategize.
Tracy worried that Drew’s recent drama might damage their campaign against Sonny Corinthos. But Drew disagreed. He believed the public loved a redemption arc and insisted he could still lead the charge.
Portia Pushes for Truth
Back at the hospital, Portia cornered Willow, fishing for details about Drew’s case. Willow held her ground, confident Drew would be cleared. Portia wasn’t so sure and gently planted doubts.
Isaiah stepped in with a more reassuring tone. He praised Willow for trusting her instincts and standing by Drew. Willow admitted she hoped the court would see the truth too—especially since the outcome could impact custody of her children.
General Hospital Recap: Brad’s Last Move
Before leaving, Brad handed his resignation to Portia and met Drew for one final exchange. He gave Drew an envelope—possibly evidence against Portia—and offered his support. Drew promised justice would come, but only on his timeline.
Later, Brad shared a heartfelt goodbye with Lucas. Though Lucas knew it was for the best, the moment carried real weight. With a final look, Brad stepped into the elevator and exited Port Charles.
Dante Drops a Bomb on Jason
Over at Sonny’s house, Isaiah checked on Sonny following his return flight. Jason was there too when Dante stormed in with serious accusations. He revealed that Danny took Rocco to a party, where alcohol led to Rocco being poisoned. Though Rocco survived, Dante was livid.
He blamed Jason for letting Danny run wild. Jason later confronted his son, who owned up to the mistake. Jason stressed the importance of responsibility and told Danny he’d now have to check in with him every night.
Dante wasn’t done. After Danny apologized, Dante confronted Jason again. He insisted that a simple talk wouldn’t fix things. Then came the shocker—Dante suggested Danny could face accessory to manslaughter charges. Jason was stunned.
General Hospital Recap: Sasha Offers Guidance
At the Quartermaine mansion, Sasha comforted Danny. She acknowledged the gravity of what happened but also recognized his guilt and regret. Her gentle words encouraged him to grow from his mistake. Jason saw their moment and appreciated Sasha’s compassion.
Later, Jason emphasized that Danny and Rocco must always look out for each other. He reminded his son that actions have consequences and that this kind of chaos couldn’t happen again.
Tracy’s Power Play
Tracy, always several steps ahead, sent Marco to deliver a message to Sidwell. If Sidwell took down Sonny, she’d make sure Port Charles rewarded him. “And I’ll personally hand him the key,” she vowed.
Back at Sonny’s place, Jordan and Sidwell arrived requesting a private meeting. Sidwell hinted that he had something valuable—something Sonny couldn’t ignore. With Brad’s exit, Danny’s legal risk, and Tracy sharpening her claws, Port Charles is bracing for more fallout.
