Friday, Nov 17, 2023: Today on General Hospital, Nina tells Sonny about selling the hotel, Willow urges Michael to help Carly buy the Metro Court, and Jordan and Laura are skeptical about Cyrus.
Thursday’s GH recap: Molly broke down, hearing of the miscarriage, Ava lashed out at apologetic Austin, and Anna realized documents were missing.
Jordan stops by Laura’s office and they talk about work issues that came up while the mayor was gone.
Laura asks if she’d like her position as deputy mayor to be permanent. She thanks her for all her hard work.
Jordan asks about her family and the mayor says it will take awhile for them to figure out what’s going on with Charlotte.
Jordan is reluctant to stay on in her position.
Cyrus shows up, asking if the mayor has a moment for her brother.
He announces he got work washing dishes at The Grill. He used to be a cook and the owner gives ex-cons employment.
His sister congratulates him but adds she’s busy.
After he exits, Jordan says she doesn’t believe a word he said. Laura isn’t sure.
She thinks her brother may be old and tired but Jordan is sure that Cyrus only lives for power.
Jordan refuses to obsess over him and agrees to accept the position of deputy mayor. Laura is sure they will be able to do good things.
Felicia runs into Robert at General Hospital. They talk about Anna.
Neither of them have talked to her in person since the shooting. He feels like she’s hiding.
She suggests Anna could be worried about him prosecuting her. He’ll look bad if he doesn’t.
Felicia tells him Anna needs to find her own way to deal with what she did.
He hopes this has nothing to do with Valentin. He doesn’t trust him and always warned her this relationship would end in disaster.
Spencer arrives at the dorm and is amazed when Joss shows him how his gifts have crowded the room. The flowers can be smelled down the hall but Trina isn’t there to see them.
He asks how mad Trina is. Joss says he may have ended the relationship by making an ultimatum.
He knows he lost his temper. She asks if he would rather be with Trina or his brother.
Spencer doesn’t know. He loves Trina and never wants to hurt her or give her up… but she’s an adult and Ace is a baby.
He’s not convinced Esme can give Ace the support he’s going to need on her own. Isn’t what a baby needs more important?
She asks him to think about what that looks like. Will he go home to Esme and Ace every night? Would that be fair to anyone?
The longer he stays in a pseudo-family, the more it will hurt when it blows up. She doesn’t think that’s fair to anyone.
He refuses to bow out of his brother’s life. She accuses him of being childish. He can’t have everything he wants.
Trina bursts into the house as Marshall and Curtis discuss dinner. They wonder what’s wrong. She doesn’t want to talk.
They tell her to sit down so they can help iron it out.
She knows how they feel about Spencer so she will deal with it herself.
They offer to be neutral so she tells them about the ultimatum and complains about him blowing up her phone with texts.
Curtis urges her to talk to Spencer. But first she needs to figure out what she wants.
She makes it clear she doesn’t want to break up with Spencer but doesn’t want him sharing a home with Esme and Ace.
Curtis can’t blame Spencer for wanting to play a role in his brother’s life.
That sets Trina off and she starts railing about Esme. She’s reached her limit at being patient.
Marshall starts talking about cornbread and Irene, his first love. He thought she would be his only love until he met Epiphany.
They asks if Spencer is the only boy she’s loved. She admits that she fell for Cam earlier but that was different and Spencer is the real deal.
She thought he would be her future but she might be wrong.
They discuss primary relationships vs family. Is Spencer her first priority?
She doesn’t like the sound of that and feels like her education and career should be her first priority.
They are proud of her for pursuing her dreams but Curtis asks who she texts first and last every day.
She admits that’s Spencer. He asks if it’s the same for him.
