Laura Gets Bad News
Over at Lulu Spencer’s house, Jordan Ashford brought troubling updates to Laura Collins. She revealed that Drew Cain was backing Ezra Boyle for mayor. Laura was stunned—and more so because Tracy Quartermaine hadn’t spoken up to defend her.
Jordan offered a glimmer of hope. She said Jenz Sidwell made an offer to buy Sonny Corinthos’ piers. Without Sonny involved in the vote, Jordan believed Laura would have a smooth path to reelection. But Laura had her doubts. While Sonny stepping down might help her politically, she feared Sidwell would fill the power vacuum. The thought of Sidwell as the new mob boss shook her.
General Hospital Recap: Portia Defends Drew
At General Hospital, Portia Robinson stood her ground. She told Curtis that going after Drew could bring legal consequences. With Willow Corinthos tied to the issue, the hospital’s name was also on the line.
Curtis listened, though reluctantly. He eventually agreed to pull the story for now. Portia then contacted Drew to say she was making progress—and hoped her efforts would satisfy her mysterious blackmailer. Later, Curtis confided in Jordan at the Brown Dog Bar. He admitted he thought Portia was hiding something. Trust between them seemed fragile.
Lulu Folds Under Pressure
Meanwhile, Tracy sat down with Lulu at the Metro Court. She confronted her about Brook Lynn’s adoption decision from years ago. Lulu argued the child’s father deserved to know the truth. Tracy disagreed and pushed Lulu to drop the article. Though Lulu resisted, she eventually gave in. Tracy, as always, knew how to apply pressure.
General Hospital Recap: Josslyn Lands the Job
Elsewhere at the Metro Court, Josslyn caught up with Carly. She learned that Sonny had undergone heart surgery in Los Angeles. Jack Brennan soon joined them, staying silent about Josslyn’s WSB mission. When Josslyn got a text from Professor Dalton, she rushed out. Carly, meanwhile, expressed concern about Brennan’s risks. She worried his moves might put him in danger with WSB leadership. Brennan assured her she meant everything to him—and he could handle it.
Emma’s Devastation
At Port Charles University, Emma Scorpio-Drake faced disappointment. Professor Dalton criticized her corrupted data model and denied her the assistant position. Emma was crushed and confused. She had no idea how her work got ruined.
After Emma left, Josslyn arrived. Dalton praised her work and offered her the job—on one condition. She had to sign an NDA. Josslyn didn’t hesitate. She signed the agreement and started early preparations for the summer position.
Encouraged by Gio, Emma returned with an older version of her project. She still hoped to prove herself. But when she walked into Dalton’s office, she found Josslyn already working there. Shocked, Emma confronted her. Josslyn calmly revealed that she had been hired. The rivalry between them just got personal.
General Hospital Recap: Gio’s Musical Relief
Over at the Nurses Ball rehearsal space, Gio arrived late. He apologized to Chase and Anna for the delay, still reeling from Rocco Falconeri’s recent ordeal. Despite the emotional strain, Gio helped them rehearse their tango performance.
Brook Lynn and Maxie also patched things up. Maxie was relieved not to be caught in the middle anymore. She also celebrated Brook Lynn and Chase’s adoption plans with genuine joy. Later, Gio played again so Brook Lynn and Chase could enjoy a lighthearted dance together. It was a much-needed break from all the drama.
Sonny Considers the Future
Back at Sonny’s house, he tried to convince Jason that selling the piers to Sidwell might be the right move. Jason was skeptical. He believed Sidwell couldn’t be trusted and might be setting them up. Sonny didn’t back down. He insisted they needed an exit from the mob. But he agreed to investigate whether Sidwell had any links to the recent attacks before sealing the deal.
After Jason left, Laura dropped by. She was relieved to hear Sonny’s surgery went well. Sonny shared Sidwell’s offer and hinted it could help both of them.
At the Metro Court, Jason joined Tracy at her table. She didn’t waste time. She asked him to use his criminal skills—not for a mob mission, but to track down her great-grandson. Yes, Tracy has a family mission in mind. And she wants Jason to take the lead. Port Charles is heating up fast, and this General Hospital Recap proves secrets never stay buried for long.
