Friday’s General Hospital didn’t skimp on the drama, with a surprise pregnancy test, a fraught family reunion, and a high-stakes courtroom showdown kept the residents of Port Charles on their toes.
Sasha Gilmore, still reeling from recent turmoil, found herself facing a new curveball: a positive pregnancy test. The news, delivered after a seemingly reassuring breakfast with Felicia and Mac, throws her already precarious life into further disarray.
Meanwhile, the legal battle surrounding Ava Jerome heated up with the return of Ric Lansing. Ric’s arrival offers a glimmer of hope for Ava’s freedom, but his presence also sets the stage for a tense courtroom confrontation with his niece, Molly Lansing-Davis. The grieving mother, preparing to testify against Ava, now faces the added pressure of going head-to-head with her manipulative uncle.
Amidst the legal drama, family bonds were tested and reaffirmed. Jason and Dante, demonstrating a surprising level of cooperation, agreed to cohabitate at the Quartermaine mansion to maintain stability for their children. This unexpected domestic arrangement highlights the characters’ commitment to family, even as their personal lives remain in flux.
On the corporate front, Michael Corinthos continued his Machiavellian scheming, attempting to enlist Curtis Ashford in his plot to oust Drew Cain from Aurora Media. This maneuvering sets the stage for potential new alliances and escalating tensions within Port Charles’ business world.
Elsewhere in Port Charles, Robert Scorpio sent a letter to Sasha, promising to reconnect upon his return; Trina and Spencer Cassadine discussed their roles as witnesses in Ava’s trial, highlighting the case’s impact on their friendship; and the combined efforts of Scout, Danny, and Rocco to clean up a domestic mishap served as a small but significant reminder of the importance of family.
Stella Henry encouraged TJ Ashford to support Molly during the trial, underscoring the emotional weight of the legal proceedings, while Kristina Corinthos offered Molly strategic advice for her testimony, further setting the stage for the inevitable courtroom clash with Ric. TJ’s arrival at the courthouse offered a much-needed source of emotional support for Molly as she braced herself for Ric’s questioning, and a tense exchange of glances between Kristina and Ava before the trial began hinted at the simmering conflict between the two women.
General Hospital airs weekdays at 2:00 PM on ABC.
