00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to my General Hospital official channel. I hope everyone
00:04is having a wonderful day. Before we begin, please hit the subscribe button and give this
00:09video a thumbs up. The oppressive humidity of a Port Charles autumn did little to lift the mood
00:15at General Hospital. The air within the hospital's walls was thick with more than just the residue
00:20of disinfectant and anxiety. It was charged with the electric current of impending confrontations,
00:24long buried secrets straining at their leashes, and the fragile, tentative steps toward new
00:29beginnings. The date, Tuesday, October 28, 2025, was not marked on any calendar as a day of
00:36significance, but for the interconnected lives moving through the hospital's labyrinth and
00:40corridors, it would become a pivotal point, a day of reckoning and revelation. In the dim,
00:45quiet solitude of the on-call room, Elizabeth Weber sat on the edge of a narrow bed, her
00:50shoulders slumped with a weariness that sleep could not cure. The faint glow from her phone
00:55illuminated the delicate lines of worry around her eyes. She was rereading a text message,
01:00one she had already committed to memory. It was from Hamilton Finn, a man whose own life was a
01:06tapestry of loss and redemption, much like her own. The message was simple, an inquiry about her shift
01:12ending, but its subtext was a gulf of unspoken words and a connection that had been quietly deepening
01:17for months. A soft knock at the door startled her. She swiped her phone off, the room plunging into
01:24near darkness. Come in, she called, her voice barely a whisper. The door creaked open, silhouetting a
01:31familiar, broad-shouldered frame. Jason Morgan stepped inside, allowing the sliver of hallway light
01:37to cut across the floor. Liz, he said, his voice a low, steady rumble that was both a comfort and a
01:43complication. I thought I might find you here. Jason, she replied, standing up and smoothing her
01:50scrubs, a nervous habit. Is everything okay? Is it Jake? Or Danny? They're fine. They're with Monica.
02:02He took a step closer, his gaze intense, searching her face. It's you I'm worried about. You've been
02:10distant. A humorless, quiet laugh escaped her lips. Distant? Jason, my life has been a series of
02:18earthquakes. First, Franco, then everything withdrew, and the constant feeling that I'm
02:24failing my sons. Distant feels like a luxury I can't afford. She wrapped her arms around herself,
02:31a defensive gesture he knew well. I know, he said, his voice softening. And I'm not here to add to
02:38your burdens. I'm here because. I need you to know that what we had, what we built, it wasn't a lie.
02:46It was real. Elizabeth's eyes glistened with unshed tears. It was real, Jason. But it was also
02:55built on a foundation of secrets and a version of you that, that doesn't exist anymore. You're
03:00different now. I'm different. We've been trying to force a puzzle piece into a space it doesn't fit
03:07anymore. She took a shaky breath. I got a call from the district attorney's office today.
03:14About the custody hearing for Jake. Jason's posture stiffened almost imperceptibly.
03:21And? And they want to depose me. They're going to ask me about your past, Jason. About the violence,
03:29the danger, the bodies that seem to follow you. They're going to use our relationship,
03:34the instability of it all, as a reason to question your fitness as a father.
03:39The words tumbled out, laced with a pain that was as much for him as it was for her.
03:44I will never, ever say anything to hurt your relationship with your son.
03:48You know that. But I have to testify truthfully. And the truth is a complicated, messy thing where
03:56you're concerned. The silence that fell between them was heavy, filled with the ghosts of their
04:01shared past. Jason looked away, his jaw tight. He knew she was right. The life he led, even now,
04:09was a shadowland, and that shadow threatened to darken the life of his child. I would never let
04:15anything happen to him, he finally said, the statement both a vow and a plea. I know that.
04:21In my soul, I know that, Elizabeth whispered. But the court doesn't operate on soul-deep knowledge.
04:29It operates on facts. And the facts are a minefield. She reached out, her hand hesitating before resting
04:36on his arm. We have to let each other go, Jason. Not because we don't care, but because holding on
04:43is destroying us both. You need to focus on your fight for Danny, and I. I need to find a way to
04:50stand on my own again. For my boys. For me. Jason looked at her hand on his arm, then back into her
04:59eyes. He saw the resolve there, a strength that had been forged in the fires of immense personal
05:04tragedy. He nodded slowly, a profound sadness settling in his own blue eyes. It was not an agreement
05:11born of anger, but of a heartbreaking, mutual understanding. Whatever you need, Liz. Always.
05:20As he turned and left the room, the door clicking shut behind him, Elizabeth let the tears fall
05:24freely. It was an ending, a necessary amputation of a part of her life that had once meant everything.
05:31But in the quiet, aching emptiness it left behind, she felt the first, faint stirrings of possibility.
05:37She picked up her phone and, with a steadier hand than she expected, typed a reply to Finn.
05:43Shifts over.
05:45Are you free?
05:47Across the hospital, in the bustling nexus of the nurse's station, the atmosphere was decidedly
05:52more combative.
05:53Carly Corinthos, a force of nature and a designer blazer, stood toe-to-toe with Nina Reeves, the
05:59current owner of the Crimson magazine and a woman who had become her personal nemesis.
06:03This is a hospital, Nina, not a press conference, Carly snapped, her voice a low, venomous whisper
06:09that carried more threat than a shout.
06:11What could you possibly be doing here that doesn't involve stirring up drama?
06:16Nina, who had been ostensibly checking on a contact at the hospital for a potential story,
06:21offered a cool, condescending smile.
06:24Hello to you too, Carly.
06:26I'm here on legitimate business.
06:28Something you might not be familiar with, given your recent, ventures.
06:34She let the barb about Carly's financial and personal turmoil hang in the air.
06:38I heard about your little meeting with Drew.
06:41How did that go?
06:43Another partnership proposal he wisely rejected?
06:47Carly's eyes flashed with fury.
06:50The dissolution of her marriage to Drew Kane and the subsequent collapse of their business
06:53partnership was an open wound, and Nina was prodding it with a rusty fork.
06:58My dealings with Drew are none of your business.
07:01Unlike you, I don't make a habit of inserting myself into other people's lives and marriages.
07:07The reference to Nina's role in the revelation of Willow's paternity and her subsequent marriage
07:11to Sonny Carinthos, Carly's ex-husband, hit its mark.
07:15Nina's composure cracked for a fraction of a second.
07:19Be careful, Carly.
07:21You're not the queen of Port Charles anymore.
07:24Your reign of terror is over.
07:26People see you for what you are now.
07:30And what am I, Nina?
07:32Enlighten me, Carly challenged, stepping closer.
07:36A selfish, manipulative woman who destroys everything she touches.
07:41You drove Drew away, you alienated your own son, and now you're circling Sonny like a vulture,
07:46desperate to pick the bones of a life you threw away.
07:49Nina's voice was rising, drawing glances from nearby nurses and orderlies.
07:53Carly laughed, a harsh, brittle sound.
07:57And you're what?
07:59The innocent victim?
08:01The savior?
08:02You stole my husband while you were both lying to me, to everyone.
08:07You think because you're married to him now, you've won?
08:10Sonny will never love you the way he loved me.
08:13You're a placeholder, Nina.
08:15A temporary distraction.
08:19The raw, personal nature of the attack left Nina momentarily speechless, her face pale with rage.
08:25Before she could form a retort, a calm, authoritative voice cut through the tension.
08:30Ladies.
08:32The word was not loud, but it carried an undeniable weight.
08:35They both turned to see Dr. Hamilton Finn standing a few feet away, his arms crossed,
08:41his expression one of profound professional disapproval.
08:44This is a place of healing.
08:47There are patients here who are fighting for their lives, who don't need to be subjected to your
08:51theatrics.
08:53Take it outside, or I will have security escort you both from the premises.
08:57Carly shot Finn a look of pure contempt but knew he was right.
09:01She straightened her blazer, her dignity a tattered flag she still refused to lower.
09:07This isn't over, she hissed at Nina.
09:09It never is with you, Nina retorted, though some of the fire had gone out of her.
09:15As Carly stalked off toward the elevators, her heels clicking a staccato rhythm of fury
09:19on the linoleum floor, Finn gave Nina a long, weary look.
09:23I suggest you conclude your business and leave, Ms. Reeves.
09:26Nina merely nodded, turning away to hide the tremor in her hands.
09:32The confrontation had left her shaken.
09:35Carly's words, cruel as they were, echoed a deep-seated fear she refused to acknowledge,
09:39that her marriage to Sonny was built on the unstable ground of shared secrets and rebellion,
09:43not the solid foundation of unconditional love.
09:46In the relative sanctuary of the doctor's lounge, Portia Robinson was attempting to find
09:51a moment of peace with a cup of tea that had long gone cold.
09:53The stress of her work was compounded by the ever-present worry about her family.
09:59Her daughter, Trina, was thriving, a source of immense pride, but her marriage to Curtis
10:03Ashford was a complex, delicate structure still under repair after the devastating revelation
10:08of his one-night stand with Jordan Ashford, his ex-wife.
10:12The door opened and Curtis walked in, his presence immediately filling the small room.
10:17He looked tired, the weight of his own regrets and the struggle to rebuild his life evident
10:21in the lines on his face.
10:23Portia, he said, his voice gentle.
10:26I was hoping I'd catch you.
10:29Curtis, she replied, her tone neutral.
10:32She gestured to the seat opposite her.
10:35I have about ten minutes before my next rounds.
10:39He sat down, leaning forward, his elbows on his knees.
10:42I know things are, difficult.
10:45And I know I'm the reason for that.
10:48I'm not here to make excuses.
10:51I'm here to tell you that I had a long talk with TJ and Molly today.
10:55Portia's eyebrows raised in surprise.
10:59About what?
11:00About family.
11:02About forgiveness.
11:04About the fact that sometimes, the hardest battles are the ones we fight to keep the people
11:08we love.
11:10He met her gaze, his eyes earnest.
11:13Watching them, seeing the strength of their commitment despite everything they've been
11:16through, it made me realize what I'm fighting for.
11:19What we should be fighting for.
11:22I love you, Portia.
11:24I have never stopped loving you.
11:27And I am willing to spend every day for the rest of my life proving to you that I am the
11:31man you married.
11:32Portia listened, her heart a conflicted drum in her chest.
11:35The pain of his betrayal was a fresh wound, but the love she felt for him was a deep,
11:40old scar that was part of her very being.
11:43She saw the sincerity in his eyes, heard the humility in his voice that had been missing
11:47for so long.
11:49Curtis, the trust, it's shattered, she said softly.
11:53It's not something that can be fixed with a few heartfelt conversations.
11:57I know that, he said, reaching for her hand.
12:01She didn't pull away.
12:02I'm not asking for it to be fixed today.
12:06I'm just asking for the chance to help you pick up the pieces.
12:10Let me in, Portia.
12:13Just a little.
12:14Let me help you carry this.
12:17For the first time in weeks, Portia felt the rigid wall around her heart develop a hairline
12:21fracture.
12:23It wasn't forgiveness, not yet.
12:25But it was a cessation of hostilities.
12:29It was a truce.
12:31She gave his hand a slight, almost imperceptible squeeze.
12:35We can't talk.
12:37Tonight.
12:39After our shifts.
12:41It was a small concession, but for Curtis, it felt like a victory of monumental proportions.
12:46A genuine, hopeful smile touched his lips for the first time in what felt like an eternity.
12:52I'd like that.
12:55Meanwhile, in a private room on the cardiology floor, the air was thick with a different kind
13:00of tension, one of grief, confusion, and a love that was being tested in a crucible of
13:04unimaginable pain.
13:06Sasha Gilmore sat by the bedside of her infant son, Liam, her body curled protectively in
13:11the chair as if she could shield him from the world through sheer force of will.
13:15The baby was sleeping, his small chest rising and falling in a rhythm that was both a miracle
13:19and a torment, a reminder of his fragile hold on life.
13:23Brando, her husband, stood by the window, his back to the room, staring out at the gathering
13:28dusk.
13:29The silence between them was a chasm, filled with words too painful to speak.
13:33He had a good day today, Sasha whispered, her voice hoarse from disuse and unshed tears.
13:40The nurse said his color was better.
13:43Brando didn't turn around.
13:45The doctor said the next 48 hours are critical.
13:48They don't know if the new medication is working.
13:52His voice was flat, drained of emotion.
13:55It was this emotional absence that was slowly killing Sasha as much as her son's illness was.
14:01I know what the doctor said, Sasha replied, a note of steel entering her tone.
14:06But I have to believe he's getting better.
14:09I have to hold on to hope, Brando.
14:12It's all I have left.
14:14Finally, he turned.
14:16His face was a mask of anguish.
14:19Hope?
14:21Sasha, look at him.
14:23He's hooked up to more machines than a fighter jet.
14:26He's fighting for every breath.
14:29Our son is dying, and you're talking about hope?
14:32The words were brutal, a raw expression of his own helplessness and despair.
14:37Sasha flinched as if struck.
14:40Don't you say that, she hissed, rising to her feet, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.
14:46Don't you ever say that in this room.
14:48He can hear you.
14:50He can feel our energy.
14:53If we give up on him, what fight does he have left?
14:56What fight do we have left, Sasha?
14:59Brando shot back, his own tears now falling.
15:02We're burning out.
15:05We're snapping at each other.
15:07We're, we're falling apart.
15:10I'm so scared that even if he makes it, there won't be enough left to bring him home to.
15:15The confession hung in the air, a terrifying truth they had both been avoiding.
15:19The immense pressure of their son's illness was fracturing the very foundation of their marriage.
15:25Sasha stared at him, seeing not the angry, distant man he had become, but the terrified father, her partner, who was just as lost as she was.
15:33She took a tentative step toward him.
15:36Then another.
15:38She stopped in front of him, her body trembling.
15:41Then we don't give up on us either, she said, her voice breaking.
15:46We can't.
15:48Liam needs his mommy and his daddy.
15:51He needs us to be a team.
15:53I know you're scared.
15:55I'm terrified.
15:57But we have to be scared together.
16:00We can't let this tear us apart.
16:03She reached out and touched his arm.
16:05It was the first tender gesture they had shared in days.
16:09Brando looked down at her hand, then into her eyes, and the dam broke.
16:14A sob racked his large frame, and he pulled her into a crushing embrace.
16:18They held each other, two broken pillars trying to hold up the crushing weight of their shared world,
16:22their tears mingling as they clung to the one thing that had not yet failed them,
16:26their love for each other and for their son.
16:28I'm sorry, he choked out against her hair.
16:32I'm so sorry.
16:34I don't know how to do this.
16:36I don't know how to be strong for you.
16:39You don't have to be strong for me, Sasha whispered, holding him tighter.
16:43We just have to be here for each other.
16:46However this ends, Brando, we face it together.
16:50Promise me.
16:52Together.
16:54He nodded, his face buried in her neck.
16:57Together, he vowed, the word a lifeline thrown into their stormy sea.
17:02Always together.
17:03Down in the hospital chapel, a different kind of soul was seeking solace.
17:08Sonny Corinthos sat in a back pew, his head bowed not in prayer, but in weary contemplation.
17:13The faint, filtered light from the stained glass window cast a kaleidoscope of color across his
17:19clasped hands.
17:21The confrontation he had just witnessed between Carly and Nina played on a loop in his mind,
17:25a stark reminder of the two warring poles of his life.
17:28He heard the soft click of the chapel door and didn't need to look up to know who it was.
17:32There was a particular energy, a specific scent of perfume that announced her presence.
17:38Nina, he said, his voice low and resonant in the quiet space.
17:43She slipped into the pew beside him, not touching him, but close enough that he could
17:47feel the warmth of her body.
17:49I saw you leave after, what happened with Carly?
17:53Sonny sighed, a long, weary exhalation.
17:56It's hard to miss.
17:58The two of you could power the city grid with the energy you expend hating each other.
18:03It's not hatred, Sonny, Nina said, though her voice lacked conviction.
18:08It's history.
18:10Complicated, painful history.
18:13That's the understatement of the century, Sonny replied, finally turning to look at her.
18:18His eyes were dark, troubled.
18:21She said some things to you.
18:23Ugly things.
18:25Nina looked away, her fingers twisting the strap of her purse.
18:29She said you'd never love me the way you loved her.
18:32That I'm just a placeholder.
18:35The silence that followed was heavy.
18:38Sonny reached out and covered her restless hands with one of his own, stilling them.
18:43Carly and I, we had decades.
18:46A family.
18:47A life.
18:48What we had was a wildfire, all-consuming, powerful, destructive.
18:54It burned bright, and it burned everything in its path until there was nothing left but ashes.
18:59He paused, choosing his words with uncharacteristic care.
19:03What you and I have, it's different.
19:06It's not a wildfire.
19:09It's...
19:10I don't know what it is yet.
19:12It's newer.
19:14It's quieter, most of the time.
19:17But that doesn't make it less.
19:20Nina looked at him, her eyes searching his for the truth.
19:23What is it, then?
19:25It's a choice, Sonny said firmly.
19:28Every day, it's a choice.
19:31I chose to marry you, Nina.
19:34I choose to be here, with you, now.
19:37The past is a ghost.
19:39It can haunt you, but it can't hold you, not unless you let it.
19:43He squeezed her hands.
19:46Don't let Carly's ghosts become ours.
19:49His words were a bomb, but they did not completely erase the sting of Carly's venom or the nagging
19:53doubt in her own heart.
19:55She leaned her head against his shoulder, drawing strength from his solid presence.
20:00I love you, Sonny.
20:02I love you, too, he said, the words feeling both true and like a promise he was still
20:07learning how to keep.
20:08As evening began to settle over Port Charles, casting long shadows through the windows of
20:13the hospital, the various threads of the day began to weave into their new patterns.
20:16In the parking lot, Elizabeth met Finn by his car.
20:21No words were exchanged at first.
20:24He simply opened his arms, and she walked into them, burying her face in his chest, allowing
20:29his quiet, steady strength to surround her.
20:32It was not a dramatic declaration, but a simple, profound act of acceptance.
20:37The end of one story was making space for the beginning of another.
20:41In the hallway outside the chapel, Sonny and Nina walked hand in hand, a united friend against
20:46the world, though the cracks in their façade were visible to those who knew where to look.
20:51In Liam's room, Sasha and Brando sat together, their hands linked as they kept their silent
20:55vigil over their son, their renewed commitment to each other a small, defiant light in the
21:00overwhelming darkness.
21:02And in an office overlooking the city, Carly stood alone, the lights of Port Charles twinkling
21:06below like a kingdom she no longer ruled.
21:08The confrontation with Nina had left her feeling hollow, the conversation with Jason a fresh
21:14wound.
21:15She was adrift, untethered from the men who had defined her life for so long.
21:20But in the eyes of Carly Corinthos, there was not defeat, but a simmering, dangerous calculation.
21:26She had lost battles before.
21:29She had been knocked down more times than she could count.
21:32But she always, always got back up.
21:36And when she did, she was more dangerous than ever.
21:39The game was far from over, the board had simply been reset.
21:44Tuesday, October 28, 2025, would not be recorded in any history book.
21:49But within the walls of General Hospital, it was a day that altered trajectories, forged
21:54new alliances, and deepened old rifts.
21:56It was a day of endings that felt like beginnings, and beginnings that felt perilously like the
22:01calm before the storm.
22:03The heartbeat of the hospital continued, a steady, relentless rhythm against which the
22:07dramas of love, loss, and vengeance played out, forever intertwined.
22:12The scene opens in the dimly lit confines of Carly's home, where the air is thick with
22:16unspoken accusations.
22:19Jason, fresh from whatever shadowy errand has kept him out of the spotlight, bursts through
22:23the door with that signature intensity, jaw set, eyes like storm clouds.
22:28Carly, mid-sip of her ever-present coffee, freezes as he levels her with a stare that
22:32could curdle milk.
22:34What the hell were you thinking, Carly?
22:36He growls, his voice low but laced with fury.
22:39It's not just anger, it's betrayal, the kind that comes from years of shared battles and
22:44buried bodies.
22:45According to whispers from the WSB Grapevine, Carly's been playing super spy, slipping into
22:50a high-security prison under a false identity to rendezvous with Valentin Cassidine of all
22:55people.
22:56Valentin, the silver-toned devil who's danced on the edge of villainy for years, now rotting
23:00behind bars but still pulling strings like a puppeteer in the dark.
23:05Carly's defense is a masterclass in deflection, her southern drawl sharpening into a weapon.
23:10You don't get it, Jason.
23:12This isn't about you or your precious codes, it's about protecting what's mine.
23:16But Jason isn't buying it.
23:20He paces the room, his leather jacket creaking with each step, recounting the risks she's
23:24taken, the forged documents, the close calls with guards who know a fake ID when they see
23:28one, and worst of all, the potential blowback on their entire circle.
23:33Sonny's already on edge with his own demons, one wrong move, and Carly's little solo mission
23:38could drag them all into the crossfire.
23:40As the argument escalates, furniture gets shoved aside, voices rise to echoes that could wake
23:45the neighbors, and for a fleeting moment, it feels like the old days, Jason and Carly
23:49against the world.
23:51But this time, the world is winning.
23:54Jason storms out, slamming the door hard enough to rattle the windows, leaving Carly alone
23:59with her regrets and a half-empty mug.
24:01Their paths, once so aligned, now diverge like cracked pavement after an earthquake.
24:07Meanwhile, across town in the sterile glow of the PCPD interrogation room, Anna Devane is
24:12piecing together the puzzle of her life, or what's left of it after years of espionage
24:15and heartbreak.
24:17The former WSB agent, her red hair pulled back in a no-nonsense ponytail, leans over a
24:22stack of classified files, her fingers tracing lines of redacted text.
24:27She's been chasing shadows, cryptic messages from old contacts, a trail of counterfeit pikeman
24:32shipments that point to something bigger than a simple arms deal.
24:35Enter Valentin's erstwhile associate, a nervous informant who's been dangling just enough intel
24:40to keep Anna hooked.
24:42Today, he finally cracks, spilling answers like cheap wine at a Quartamaine gala.
24:48It's not just guns, Anna, the man stammers, sweat beating on his forehead under the harsh
24:52fluorescent lights.
24:54Valentin's got a network, layers deep, pulling in people you wouldn't believe.
24:59And Carly?
25:01She's not the loose end, you think?
25:03Anna's eyes narrow, her mind racing through connections, Carly's prison visit, Jason's
25:08sudden protectiveness, even Dante's offhand comments about increased chatter on the streets.
25:13The answers aren't tidy, they're jagged edges that cut into her assumptions.
25:18Is Valentin playing her from afar, using Carly as a pawn in a game of international intrigue?
25:24Or is there a mole closer to home, someone in Port Charles who's been feeding info to the
25:28highest bidder?
25:30As the informant is led away in cuffs, Anna sinks into a chair, rubbing her temples.
25:34For the first time in weeks, she has clarity, but it's the kind that breeds more questions.
25:41She grabs her phone, dialing an old flame for backup, knowing full well that trust is
25:45the scarcest commodity in her world.
25:48Over at the Metro Court, where opulence masks the underbelly of ambition, Nina Reeves is
25:52in her element, scheming with the precision of a surgeon and the ruthlessness of a shark.
25:57Dressed in a sleek black ensemble that screams power, she corners Drew Kane in the hotel's
26:02lavish lounge, the clink of ice in her martini glass punctuating her words like exclamation
26:06points.
26:07Nina's no stranger to dirty tricks, her history with Sunny and Willow is a testament to that,
26:12but this?
26:14This is personal.
26:16She's gunning for Willow's spot at the nurse's ball committee, or perhaps something juicier,
26:20leverage over Drew's budding political aspirations.
26:23You think you're untouchable, Drew?
26:25With your clean-cut image and your Quartermain backing, she purrs, her smile all teeth.
26:31Everyone has a skeleton.
26:34Yours just happens to be rattling louder than most.
26:38Drew, ever the golden boy with a jawline that could cut glass, tries to play it cool,
26:42but Nina's got photos, blurry but damning, of his late-night meetings with shady investors
26:46tied to the very Pikeman dealings Anna's unraveling.
26:50It's blackmail wrapped in velvet, and Nina wields it like a stiletto.
26:53She doesn't just want compliance, she wants capitulation, a public endorsement that could
26:58catapult her back into the social elite.
27:01As Drew grapples with the implications, losing Michael's trust, Willow's faith in him, Nina
27:06saunters away, leaving him staring into his scotch like it holds the answers.
27:11Her play isn't just dirty, it's a declaration of war, one that ripples out to ensnare Willow
27:15in the crossfire, forcing her to question the man she thought she knew.
27:18But no one's reeling harder than Curtis Ashford, whose world tilts on its axis in the quiet
27:24sanctuary of his office at the Savoy.
27:26Curtis, the private eye with a moral compass that's seen better days, has been nursing
27:30suspicions about Portia's secretive behavior, the late nights at the hospital, the sudden
27:35aversion to wine, the way she dodges questions about their future.
27:39Today, it all crashes down when he stumbles upon a discarded pregnancy test in the bathroom
27:43trash, positive, unmistakable.
27:46His hands tremble as he holds it up to the light, the two pink lines mocking him like
27:50a bad joke.
27:52Portia pregnant?
27:54After everything, the lies about their daughter's heritage, the lingering shadow of Heather Webber's
27:58chaos, this feels like the universe's cruel punchline.
28:02He confronts her in the hallway outside General Hospital, where the fluorescent buzz does nothing
28:07to soften the blow.
28:09How long, Portia?
28:10How long have you known and kept this from me?
28:14Curtis's voice cracks, a rare vulnerability cracking his tough exterior.
28:19Portia, her scrubs rumpled from a long shift, reaches for him, tears welling in her eyes.
28:25I was scared, Curtis.
28:27After Trina, after everything we've lost, what if this changes us?
28:32What if I'm not enough?
28:34Their embrace is tentative, fraught with the weight of unspoken fears, his MS diagnosis still
28:39fresh, her career pulling her in a million directions, and now a baby on the way that
28:43could rewrite their vows.
28:45Curtis reels, not just from the shock, but from the joy warring with terror in his chest.
28:50Is this a second chance or a ticking bomb?
28:53As they cling to each other amid the beeping monitors and hurried footsteps, the future feels
28:58both brighter and more precarious than ever.
29:00Up at the Quartamane estate, where old money breeds older grudges, Ned Ashton takes on the
29:05Herculean task of taming Tracy Quartamane's latest vendetta.
29:09Tracy, perched on her velvet chaise like a queen on her throne, sips brandy from a crystal
29:14tumbler, her eyes flashing with the fire of a woman scorned.
29:17Her one-sided war with Ronnie, likely a nod to some long-festering business slight or romantic
29:22entanglement from her wilder days, has escalated to scorched-earth tactics, leaked emails, anonymous
29:27tips to the press, even a petition to oust him from the country club.
29:31Ned, ever the diplomat in a family of dynamos, enters the fray with a sigh and a stack of
29:36legal briefs.
29:38Mother, this has to stop.
29:40You're not just hurting him, you're dragging the Quartamane name through the mud.
29:45Again.
29:46Tracy scoffs, waving him off with a manicured hand.
29:50Oh, please, Nettie.
29:53Ronnie started this when he crossed me.
29:56A Quartamane doesn't back down.
29:58But Ned presses, recounting tales of their shared history, the boardroom battles, the
30:03family holidays tainted by feuds, and appeals to her softer side, the one buried under layers
30:07of sarcasm and Chanel No. 5.
30:10Will she listen?
30:12Doubtful.
30:14Tracy's not one for olive branches, she's more the scorched variety.
30:18Yet, as Ned persists, a flicker of doubt crosses her face, hinting at the loneliness fueling
30:23her rage.
30:24Their exchange devolves into a mix of barbs and nostalgia, ending with Tracy slamming
30:29her glass down, not in defeat, but in a promise to consider his words.
30:34It's progress, Quartamane style, glacial and grudging.
30:38Portia's outreach to Ava Jerome adds another layer to the day's emotional tapestry, a bridge
30:43built from shared scars.
30:44In the sun-dappled atrium of the hospital, away from prying eyes, Portia pulls Ava aside,
30:50her voice a whisper-laced with urgency.
30:53I need your advice, Ava.
30:55About everything.
30:58Ava, the phoenix of Port Charles who's risen from ashes time and again, murders pinned on
31:02her, custody battles won through sheer will, listens with the empathy of someone who's
31:06stared down the abyss.
31:08Portia's confession spills out, the pregnancy, Curtis's shock, the fear of history repeating
31:13with Trina.
31:14Ava's response is gold, darling, fear is the real killer.
31:19I've lost count of the times I thought it was over, but here I am, flawed, fabulous,
31:23and fighting.
31:25Their conversation neanders from practicalities, doctor recommendations, work-life hacks, to
31:30the profound, reclaiming agency in a town that loves to strip it away.
31:34By the end, Portia's shoulders are lighter, Ava's a touch more fortified.
31:38It's a moment of solidarity, two women forging armor from vulnerability.
31:44As the episode weaves these threads, smaller vignettes pulse with potential.
31:49Dante Falconeri eyes Sunny Carinthos with growing suspicion, piecing together the mobster's
31:53erratic moods and cryptic calls, could Jason's rift with Carly be the spark that reignites
31:57old flames?
31:59Laura Spencer, ever the beacon of quiet strength, receives dismaying news about a community project
32:04derailed by corporate greed, her dismay turning to determination as she rallies Nicholas's
32:09memory for fuel.
32:10And in a quieter corner, Gio leans on Emma Scorpio Drake for support, their budding connection
32:15a bright spot amid the storm, as Portia faces Trina with a plea for family peace that hangs
32:19in the balance.
