General Hospital (GH) spoilers for Friday, March 17, tease that Laura Collins (Genie Francis) will talk about life being full of surprises and will seem pleased over some news. It sounds like Laura will get updates on the decision that Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and all her friends have reached.
After talking to Esme Prince (Avery Pohl), Trina decided there’s no way to get true justice when Esme’s in this state.
Since Trina doesn’t want Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) stuck in prison for months, she’s suggested dropping the charges for now.
However, Trina pointed out the threat would still hang over Esme.
If the DA holds off on prosecuting and Esme eventually shows signs that her memory has returned, Trina feels like Esme will stand a better chance of being convicted.
Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez), Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Cameron Webber (William Lipton) are all on board with Trina’s plan, so they’ll let Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) work her legal magic soon enough.
Diane will insist she’s about to make someone’s day, so she may offer Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) the opportunity to avoid the hassle of a trial – at least for now.
Robert will wonder what Diane’s proposing and ask what she would suggest that he do.
It’ll be a tough call, but it looks like Robert will ultimately go along with the idea of giving Esme her freedom for the time being.
At the safe house, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) will push Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) to tell her there’s an end to this nightmare.
Unfortunately, Lucy won’t get the news she’s hoping for, so she’ll lash out again and get some comfort from Valentin.
Next on Friday’s GH episode, Deputy Mayor Eileen Ashby (Heather Mazur) may hand over the unredacted file she promised – though it’ll undoubtedly be a doctored version.
Eileen might act like this concludes her business with Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy), but he’ll ask why on earth she’d be done.
The deputy mayor is still finding ways to prove herself useful, so Victor will make it clear that she’s still under his control.
Of course, Victor doesn’t realize that Eileen is in cahoots with Laura, Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), Anna and Valentin.
Eileen will have to be careful if she hopes to keep that secret under wraps and stay alive!
Meanwhile, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) will open up to Phyllis Caulfield (Joyce Guy) about Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) latest mob drama and how it’s left her conflicted.
Although Nina didn’t think she wanted to know the details of Sonny’s business, now she’s not so sure.
Phyllis will want Nina to ask herself if this is a relationship she can sustain and urge her to make some adjustments if it isn’t.
If Nina can’t live with all the secrecy, she may need to push Sonny to tell her everything.
In other words, Nina may have to accept the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to living in Sonny’s world!
Over with Sonny, he’ll confess the newest threat to Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and most likely promise that he’ll keep everyone safe.
Carly will argue that they both know Sonny can’t promise that and will worry about somebody getting hurt – even Sonny himself.
As for Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), he’ll look fearful about a sneak attack as he draws his gun.
Fortunately, we know Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) will secretly corner Dex for a meeting, so she’ll probably be the one creeping around.
Dex may have to come clean about the gunfire and the fact that he got sʜᴏᴛ protecting Sonny, so Josslyn certainly won’t be happy about that.
General Hospital spoilers say the danger will leave Josslyn with growing concerns, so she’ll hope Dex can wrap up this mission ASAP.
