General Hospital Recap Highlights
Also in this episode, Anna gave Valentin what he deserved, Trina had her say, and Eddie went away. Now, let’s dig a little deeper into the details.
The Whole Awful Truth
Anna (Finola Hughes) went to the hospital to explain herself to Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). She dragged him to the 10th-floor stairwell to share her side. Much to her surprise, Valentin was overly forgiving. Then, she found out why.
Anna did all she could to blame the whole mess on Forsyth using Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez) to get to her. Valentin finally came clean and told her that wasn’t how it was. It was Charlotte the whole time and he’d been covering for her. Anna punched him right in the face.
All the while, Laura (Genie Francis) checked in with Liz (Rebecca Herbst) about Charlotte…and Jake. Charlotte was primed for a full physical recovery but Liz wasn’t sure either teen would recover emotionally. Laura’s next stop was at her granddaughter’s bedside.
It took mere minutes for Charlotte to try and stir up more trouble when she heard her dad was with Anna. She seemed quite startled and warned Laura that Anna would hurt Papa. The real truth came out that Victor (Charles Shaughnessy) was the one who told her to keep Anna away from Valentin!
Yes, that’s right, Victor! Charlotte told Laura of his warnings that Anna was a no-good, violent woman who was out to kill Papa. Everything she did was to save her father! Laura was shook.
Goodbye Neddie, Hello Ned
Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) managed to untangle Ned (Wally Kurth) and bring him to shore just in the nick of time. Once on land, it took a bit of CPR to bring him back around, and boy, did Ned come around! Ned was back and Eddie was all gone. Olivia, his muse — nay, his song siren — saved his life.
Not only was Ned back but he remembered everything, even about his time as Eddie. He explained that he was there the whole time, just not completely. He even thanked Olivia for giving him the space he needed to heal.
Olivia was happy but there was one thing bothering her. She asked if it was Lois (Rena Sofer) who really kicked him back into himself. He assured her that was not the case. Sure, Lois encouraged him but it was Olivia who pulled him back.
Feuds And Friends
Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) was all but cursing her name. He went to the dorm to share the awful news that Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl) wanted to up and move out with Ace and how Laura was backing her up.
If he was expecting sympathy, he didn’t get it. Trina (Tabyana Ali) was happy to hear it. Finally! She said. That was the wrong thing to say and Spencer yelled at her so loudly Joss (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer) got involved. He lowered the level of his voice but the fight continued. It ended with Trina walking away from Spencer…seemingly breaking up with him.
Speaking of besties, Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) met up at the Metro Court. Curtis apologized profusely for not visiting Drew but he wouldn’t hear it. The men set all that aside and got caught up.
Also out for dinner was Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn). She was there to dine with Kristina (Kate Mansi) and was treated to meeting Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez). It wasn’t long before Alexis pried into all the dirty deeds done by Blaze’s former manager. She implored her to come forward and share her story.
Alexis then hopped tables to chat up Curtis and Drew. The men attributed Drew’s freedom to her hard work and nailing it to the judge. Alexis was pretty proud of herself. She was even more proud to rejoin her daughter and tease her that Blaze LIKE likes her.
