SoapsSpoilers’ General Hospital recap for Wednesday, December 8, 2021 episode Martin talks Laura out of taking off from the safe house, Gladys learns what’s wrong with Liam, and Peter threatens Sonny. Recaps go live at approximately 3:00 PM EST. We also have Monday’s GH recap where Willow confronted Nina about what happened between her and Sonny in Nixon Falls.
At the safe house, Martin tries to stop Laura from making a run for it. He threatens to go to Agent Silva. It’s too dangerous. Laura muses that she misses her family. They hug. He’s sorry. Outside, Silva tells the fake maid that he checked on her ID and was fine with her cleaning. Martin opens the door to give Silva cake and Silva tells him to get back inside.
The “maid” pretends she’s not watching the entire exchange. Later, Laura asks if Martin thinks his issues with marriage stem from his daddy’s philandering ways. He agrees, but then if it wasn’t for him, he wouldn’t be with his beautiful sister. She admits he’s cheering her up. He puts in a holiday classic Christmas film.
“Oh no, not Christina Comes Home for Christmas,” she says. She can’t watch that. She loves it, but it reminds her too much of home and her kids, her grandkids… In the movie, Kristina gets to go home and she doesn’t. She can’t take it anymore and gets up to leave and Martin yells at her to hang on a little longer. She backs off and goes to have a bath while he sits with popcorn and begins his movie. The woman from outside appears at the door. Martin lets her in. They told him Nancy was sick. He appreciates her doing their laundry. She reaches into the laundry basket and takes out a rope and strangles Martin.
At the hospital, Carly hugs Gladys. She cries and says she doesn’t like the name Liam. Carly likes the name. Gladys thinks it’s such a lacklustre name. “Must be a millennial thing. Probably Sasha’s idea.” Carly’s eyes widen and she says nothing. Gladys talks about being a crappy mom. Meanwhile, Michael visits Brando as Sasha sleeps.
The men go outside into the hall and Sasha wakes up. She wants to see Michael, too. Brando wheels her out and she opens the present for Liam. They talk about their kids playing one day and discuss his namesake. Brando asks him and Willow to be the godparents. Michael’s psyched. He’s in. Later, Brando and Sasha head over to Gladys and she asks when her sweet grandson gets to come home. They tell her about the baby being deprived of oxygen and are overcome with emotion. Sasha calls her a good mother and knows it had to be hard to raise Brando on her own. Gladys vows to be with them to help care for their son.
Willow takes Nina into a room for privacy as she tells the blonde that she wishes she hadn’t heard a word. She reveals she heard Nina tell Sonny that she was in love with him. She realizes Carly was right, that she was toxic to her family. She asks if Nina and Sonny are having an affair.
Nina denies that. As soon as Sonny found out who she was, they ended it. Nothing happened. It was pure, just love. She fights tears. “And you’re not over it,” Willow realizes. Nina admits she found peace in Nixon Falls. She wanted to tell everyone about Sonny but she couldn’t turn her back on them.
Mike was so sweet and good and didn’t want to know who he was. “I tried to stop it, but then I fell in love with him.” Willow knows but what about Carly? Why haven’t they told her? Nina says it’s over. There’s no reason to. Nina asks if she’ll tell. She knows what she did was wrong but it’s over. “But is it?” Willow asks.
Nina says yes, and she respects that he’s with the woman he loves. They go around in circles. Willow finally admits she’s not sure what she’s going to do. She goes back to Carly and Michael and asks after Liam and Sasha. Michael says they’re hanging in there with worries about the baby’s health. Nina comes around the corner as Carly asks where she’s been. Nina hides as Michael tells Willow that he agreed to be Liam’s godparents on her behalf. She’s happy about that. Carly’s grateful.
