GH Recap: Heather Learns Her Hip Replacement is Poisoning Her, Nina Snitches on Dex to Joss & Diane Offers to Make Alexis Her Partner

Fri March 15, 2024: Gregory decides to resign from The Invader, Dex tells Joss again that he is leaving, and Marshall gets some answers.

Thursday’s GH recap: Jason explained to Michael he was forced to work as a mercenary, then flashed to working with Cates.

At General Hospital, Stella, Curtis and Marshall wait as Portia tries to get in touch with Dr. Braddock.

Portia has to run off and Stella takes over.

The people on the other line offer to call back when they find him.

She doesn’t want to antagonize him. Alexis tells her she can quit or write it herself.

When Gregory walks in with his latest copy, Nina grabs it. He explains it’s about community outreach.

She apologizes for Nina being rude. Gregory says she can set the standards and it’s clear he can no longer meet them.

Diane takes off as Dr. Enoch arrives. Laura is shocked to learn she has Heather’s health care proxy.

Enoch shows them that Heather likely has cobalt poisoning from her decaying hip replacement. That causes neurological symptoms.

They get confirmation of the tests and realize her hip replacement needs replacement.

Laura knows that Heather has always been off but being a serial killer is known. This seems medical.

Portia says they could be sued for liability if they don’t deal with this.

Robert mopes off to cancel her transfer to San Quinton.

Portia, Enoch, and Laura go in to see Heather and explain she has metalosis.

They think this is causing her physical and mental symptoms.

She’s amazed. No doctor has ever told her anything but that she’s crazy.

They offer to replace her old hip. Enoch warns there could be complications, like death.

Heather asks for a minute with Laura.

She doesn’t understand all this and asks the mayor to figure this out.

Laura tells her to do the surgery.

When they are left alone, Laura shows Heather pictures of Ace. Heather wonders how everything went so wrong with her.

Laura doesn’t know but says she’s lived a few different lives and they aren’t that connected.

Heather feels like she’s in free-fall.

The mayor tells her there is still time to get it right.

Marshall loves watching him work so hard. They are proud of each other.

Curtis wonders what he will say to Dr. Braddock.

He explains that he was compassionate and understanding at first.

He suggested part of his brain was fighting itself.

Marshall was prescribed pills he couldn’t afford and he did whatever he could to pay for them.

The pills made him rigid.

When he told the doctor, he offered him shock treatment.

That made Marshall blow up and the doctor didn’t take that well.

Stella shows up. She announces that Dr. Braddock is dead.

But the answers they are looking for are right upstairs.

They go to see Kevin. He explains that Dr. Braddock made a name for himself as infamous.

Marshall tells him about how he was misdiagnosed.

Why would he do that?

Kevin can’t say for certain, but he thinks it was because he was young, male, poor, and black.
