General Hospital Recap: Drew and Nina Step In as Co-Hosts
The episode opened with Drew Cain and Nina Reeves unexpectedly teaming up as red carpet hosts. Their last-minute pairing sparked playful banter, especially when they welcomed real-life entertainment reporter Lesley Robins. With fashion commentary and celebrity interviews ahead, the Ball’s glam factor kicked into high gear.
Their chemistry raised eyebrows—especially from Lucy Coe, who arrived with a llama named Sebastian. Lucy praised their good looks but not without Nina rolling her eyes. This odd but adorable moment aimed to raise awareness for llama rescue organizations.
Awkward Reunions and Political Tension
Sonny Corinthos arrived with his daughter Donna, offering a heartwarming moment—until Drew poked at the ongoing pier referendum. Sonny shut it down fast, insisting the Ball wasn’t the place for politics. Carly Spencer’s entrance escalated the tension further. Drew brought up Michael Corinthos’ absence due to his injuries, clearly trying to rattle her. Carly, to her credit, stayed calm.
Jordan Ashford appeared next, debuting her new role as COO of Jenz Sidwell’s company. Jenz himself was proud to fund the entire Ball. As Drew tried to sing his praises, Nina cut in to introduce Felicia Scorpio and Isaiah Gannon. Their charming red carpet moment offered a sweet break from the rising drama.
General Hospital Spoilers: Love, Sass, and Family Walks
Curtis, Portia, and Trina walked the carpet as a united front. Trina was delighted to find Kai Taylor waiting in a tux. Their romantic moment offered feel-good vibes. Josslyn Jacks arrived next with Gio Palmieri and delivered a fiery jab at Drew on camera, calling him “trash.” Nina smoothed things over by complimenting her inherited sass from Bobbie Spencer.
Then came the Quartermaine clan. Tracy insisted on walking with “her girls” Lulu and Brook Lynn. Lulu chose Dante instead, but Brook Lynn walked with Tracy—until Harrison Chase was called away for work. Before stepping in, Tracy stunned the crowd by grabbing Drew’s mic and ranting about the referendum.
Seconds later, Chase returned to arrest Tracy for drugging Drew. The shocking twist left Tracy fuming and viewers on edge.
Secrets, Confrontations, and Suspicious Flashbacks
Back at home, Alexis Davis was interrupted by Ric Lansing, who offered shady legal help. Their heated exchange was cut short by Kristina Corinthos-Davis, who exploded at Ric. Alexis attempted to mediate, reminding Kristina about Molly’s needs. But Kristina fired back, accusing Ric of betrayal. Alexis delivered the biggest blow—she knew Kristina tried to kill Ava Jerome.
Elsewhere, Molly and Cody arrived at the Ball together, leading many to assume they were a couple. They didn’t correct anyone. Inside, the gala buzzed with chatter. Isaiah noticed Portia and remembered hearing her scream about lies. He offered her support, adding a mysterious layer to the night.
Meanwhile, Curtis told Jordan that Drew confirmed he was blackmailing Portia. Across the venue, Anna, Lucy, and Felicia scrambled to fill a performance gap. Anna feared her planned dance with Chase was in jeopardy. Felicia mentioned that Spinelli brought the kids, giving Anna a last-minute idea.
Arrest Fallout and a Fiery Return
Chase delivered Tracy to Mac at the station, still baffled by her arrest. Mac explained a vial of ketamine was found in her car. Tracy realized she’d been framed—but by whom? The final scene stunned fans. Willow Corinthos walked the red carpet solo, dazzling in red. Drew rushed to her side, kissing her passionately. But far away, Michael Corinthos watched the livestream from a private jet. He looked furious.
