General Hospital recap for Friday, May 19, 2023. In today’s GH episode, Taggert tries convincing Portia to back down, Curtis and Jordan discuss their feelings, and Maxie tells Sasha what Cody did for her.
We also have Thursday’s GH recap where Spencer said if Esme leaves PC, he will follow, Portia vowed to get Spencer out of Trina’s life, and Molly was crushed by her severe condition.
At The Savoy, Jordan tells Curtis she’s sorry he’s hurting. He doesn’t have to go through it alone. Taking his hand, she says there are people who love him. They start kissing.
“C’mon, let’s get out of here,” he says. She admits she’s tempted but this isn’t the first time their spark has come back.
If this is going to go any further, they need to know why. He’ll always have strong feelings for her.
She reminds him some of those were negative. That’s why they split up and he got back together with Portia.
Jordan asks if this is a last grasp for something that should be over, or if these feelings will always be there to be rekindled.
They sit down and she tells him she’s come to terms with things. She’s never stopped loving him but she truly wanted him to be happy with Portia. She didn’t go to their wedding because she couldn’t bear to see it.
Jordan asks if his marriage is really over or if he’s just on the rebound. He admits his life is up in the air right now.
What happened in Greenland shook things up for him. He’s proud of his club, but is that all there is? It doesn’t feel like it’s enough.
He can’t make any promises to her and asks for time to figure things out. She says he knows where to find her.
Taggert arrives at Portia’s office in General Hospital. He tells her she can’t keep going off about Spencer.
She’s baffled that he’s not siding with her on this. He thinks she needs to back off rather than doubling down.
He suspects she’s focused on her daughter because she doesn’t want focus on her marriage.
She tells him how hard she’s been praying for forgiveness and wishing she could go back in time to tell the truth. Jordan warned her more than once that this would happen.
Taggert says Curtis will forgive her if he loves her. She needs to stop feeling guilty and go to him before it’s too late. Curtis saved her daughter. She needs to fight for him.
Portia goes back to venting about Spencer. Taggert reminds her that their daughter is not a little girl any more. They’ve got to let her lead her life.
He urges her to be smart about how she treats their daughter. He explains that lots of people are already looking out for her, including Jordan. She needs to focus on her marriage.
She walks him to the elevators and says that Curtis knows how much she wants to work things out. She won’t take her eyes of Trina right now and needs to make sure her daughter sees Spencer for who he is.
Dante arrives in the waiting area and they chat about the situation with Nina. The cop says that if he could have Sonny at his wedding, anything is possible.
After they check on Willow, Michael says he keeps telling himself she’ll make a full recovery. His brother reminds him he can always reach out to him for support.
Michael admits he and Sonny are in a better place, at least as long as he’s not advocating for Nina. Dante doesn’t see how he can avoid that.
Michael still counts on Sonny siding with his family over Nina. His brother gets a call about a case and has to go.
