Thur Feb 8, 2024: Today on General Hospital, Michael apologizes to Sonny, Willow urges Drew not to hold a grudge, and Chase tells Finn it’s too early to stop Gregory from living independently.
Wednesday’s GH recap: Cameron returned for Spencer’s memorial, and Heather wailed over Esme’s grave, blaming Kevin for everything.
Michael goes to see his father at his office. Sonny is surprised to see him. His son doesn’t think they can wait longer for this conversation.
He came to say he’s sorry and he hopes he can forgive him.
They start bickering about him keeping his mouth shut about Nina. Michael says he needed to get evidence to substantiate.
He adds that he leveraged the truth against Nina to keep her away from his family.
Sonny is surprised to hear that he blackmailed her. Michael explains he made a deal with Ned to keep the peace but Lois blew it up.
The bottom line is Nina is guilty and didn’t think she’d be forgiven.
Sonny asks where he would stand with him if he forgave her. Michael won’t pursue any action against Nina.
He assures his father that he wants him in his life, no matter who he is with. He’s not going to let her cost him his wife or father.
Sonny thinks of the mess that Nina set in motion… His son repeats that if forgives her, that won’t affect their relationship.
Carly arrives at the Metro Court and Trish brings her over to her guest. Bryson is waiting for her. Nina watches them and wonders what Carly is up to.
Carly and Bryson talk business. She hopes they can keep the relationship but he’s concerned about her bad press.
Nina’s ousting and the article about her make him doubt his brand can align with the magazine. She insists the magazine will maintain its impeccable quality and she’s sure the public will come around.
He wonders how she will do that if her staff are taking other gigs. They have doubts in her.
She assures him the transition will be seamless. He gets a call and walks off.
Martin arrives and meets with Nina. She says he owes her. She’s considering starting her own magazine.
She needs to get the best features of Crimson and that’s where he comes in.
BLQ comes in and sneers at Nina but refuses to make a scene for Olivia’s sake and walks off.
Martin tells Nina she has a knack for alienating people.
BLQ joins Carly, who complains she’s about to lose a 2 million dollar contract.
They turn around and spot Nina happily chatting with Bryson. BLQ assures Carly things will be okay and offers to help.
Carly says this is not her problem but BLQ has it out for Nina and wants to get creative about it.
Bryson returns as BLQ talks up Crimson. They tell him of their exciting plans.
He says he tried to make a deal with Lucy but they couldn’t come to terms. They offer to re-open that and he sits down.
Back at the bar, Nina asks Martin if there’s a way that he can get Crimson’s staff out of their non-compete clauses.
He doesn’t think that’s likely. She reminds him he owes her because she could have his disbarred.
This isn’t making him inclined to help her but he will look for a loophole.
She wants her staff back and for Crimson to eat her dust.
After BLQ leads Bryson out, Carly stomps over to Nina and smugly tells her she’s tougher than the magazine industry.
After she exits, Martin tries leaving but Nina stops him, saying she’s just realized what she wants him to do.
Drew drops by the gate house with some paperwork for Michael. He’s not there but Willow is. Before he can leave, she tells him she’s glad he’s on good footing with her husband again.
She’s still working things out with him. Drew doesn’t condone what he did but understands he was doing it for his family.
Willow would rather know the truth than be protected from it. She senses Drew hasn’t been able to put Nina behind him.
She feels partly responsible for this whole mess because she kept her sickness a secret.
He tells her not to take responsibility for Nina. She’s more worried about him carrying a grudge. It’s out of character.
He says people change and the old Drew died in Pentonville. She begs him not to let what happened change him.
Sitting down, he says that the guy she knew with a rosy outlook took a lot of work after what Victor did to him.
He went from one hell hole to another and couldn’t see the threat. He turned his back on obvious threats and won’t do that again.
Willow still believes in the power of forgiveness. “Good for you. I’m not there yet,” he says.
They talk about how forgiving she is and how much that has helped her in her life.
He says she’s one of the strongest people he knows and she points out she’s alive because of him.
Drew assures her there is nothing he wouldn’t do for the people he loves but Nina isn’t one of them.
After he takes off, she calls Michael and asks him to stay the night tonight. The kids would like waking up to him and so would she.
