Carly is Shocked when She’s Confronted by Payton in Florida, and Brando’s Surgery Hits Complications

General Hospital recap for Thursday, September 15, 2022. In today’s GH episode, Trina tells Rory that he’s real, Michael tells Dex to stay away from Joss, and Nikolas asks Ava if they could have a future.

We also have Wednesday’s GH recap where Brando was rushed into surgery after being hooked, Sonny realized Nikolas was innocent, and Carly was stuck in Florida.

Cam, Joss, Rory, and Trina stand around the pool and talk about their classes.

Trina leads Rory away and thanks him for coming. She says they don’t have to talk about school and brings up the weather. He assures her she can talk about school, even though he didn’t go.

Trina suggests they talk about Spencer. She explains that he was trying to get evidence against Esme all along. Ava told her that he has feelings for her. Rory guessed that part given that he went to prison to give her an alibi.

Now that she knows the truth about Spencer, does that change things for them? It means a lot to her that Spencer believed in her innocence, but he hurt her. He’s always getting in his own way and can’t be real with her.

Dex tells him he can get something incriminating on Sonny but needs more time. Michael thanks him for saving Ava, even though he can’t stand her.

After they talk about what happened and how important Joss was to saving her, Michael says those were extreme circumstances and he doesn’t want him with his sister again. He doesn’t want to have to lie to her.

Dex knows they are ultimately supposed to take down Sonny, but he doesn’t hate the guy. “Taking down Sonny will help me make up for my mistakes,” he says.

At General Hospital, Sonny tells Nikolas he knows he didn’t attack Ava. There’s been another attack with a large hook. Kristina saw it. Her screaming scared off the attacker.

After the mobster walks out, he orders the bodyguard not to let anyone in.

Nikolas hopes his wife feels better knowing he didn’t try to kill her. “I guess so,” she shrugs. It’s unbearable to think the man she loves could attack her.

The prince tells her all he wants is a life with her. She says he’s blown it all up by being weak and stupid. He points out he’s been protecting her without hesitation. He will always love her.

Nikolas thought she understood him because deep down they are the same. They have both made mistakes, but when something breaks, you fix it. Sobbing, Ava says, “Not always.”
