General Hospital recap for Tuesday, May 16, 2023. In today’s GH episode, Sasha thinks it’s time to end the guardianship, Cody threatens Haven, and Alexis realizes her life isn’t going as intended.
We also have Monday’s GH recap where Gladys owed Selina more money, Scott wanted to sue the WSB and Joss convinced Dex to stay in Port Charles.
At the Home & Heart studio, the sound of a baby crying is pumped into Sasha’s headset as Haven asks her if she’s okay. The crying is pumped up until Sasha starts to twitch.
BLQ and Lucy start worrying and Sasha continues trying to make her presentation. The producer orders the sound raised even more.
Cody shows up and starts taking off his clothes, threatening to run out and streak.
They cut the sound. Sasha gets back on track and explains that her ear piece was just making a horrible noise.
She returns to talking about how The Deceptor works. Haven is clearly annoyed that this isn’t going as she’d planned.
Once the broadcast ends, Sasha tells Haven she’ll be hearing from her lawyers. She walks off and tells BLQ and Lucy what happened.
Sasha could tell it wasn’t a hallucination. It was real.
Flora overhears this and confronts Haven about trying to push Sasha over the edge on TV. Haven tries to put the blame on someone else but
Flora quits and storms off.
One of the tech’s goes to Sasha and tells her there’s someone who needs to talk to her. Some lady tells her she heard all about her tragedies. Sasha says she’s doing better now.
The producer comes over and Lucy calls him a weasel, barking that he has to make this right.
BLQ finds Cody putting on his boots. She saw him stopping the sound effect and asks him to The Savoy to celebrate. He takes a raincheck.
After the ladies take off, Cody confronts Haven and tells her that if she ever pulls a stunt like she did today again, she will regret it.
At Anna’s, Robert asks her if she was thinking of her family when she took off to Greenland.
She tells him he would risk everything for the woman he loves.
“First I’ve got to choose the woman,” he says, sniffing his wine. She wonders what that means.
He admits that Holly has indicated she wants a relationship with him. But there’s another woman…Diane.
He lists their qualities. Anna points out there’s little chance he’d have to prosecute Diane.
Pacing, he admits that Diane challenges him. He doesn’t know what to do.
Anna knows the new is exciting and the old is kind of comforting.
She can understand why he can’t make up his mind but teases he’s quite teh catch. He runs out as Valentin comes out.
Valentin brags about the dinner he made and they make out.

Robert arrives and sees them together.
Nina arrives at Carly’s by invitation.
She says they were interrupted at the hospital and she has more to say.
She’s been doing some soul searching and her fears have led her to make poor decisions.
It’s easier for her to hate her than face the consequences of her actions and she’s sorry.
“Is that it?” Carly asks. Nina wants her apology acknowledged.
Carly accuses her of just wanting something from Willow, not for her.
Nina wants her daughter to have a happy, long, healthy life even if she’s not part of it. If there’s any way she can repair their relationship, she will.
Carly says there is no relationship to repair. Nina knows how wrong she’s been.
In hindsight, she’s relieved that Carly had her to play the role of mother.
That’s something she’s thankful for.
