• Episode 758: Maxwell Caulfield. Michael Carrington. Rex Manning. Gettysburg. 6/1/26 01.06.2026 1h 38min

  Maxwell Caulfield guest stars on General Hospital this week as Apollo, the Manhattan gallery owner at the center of the Phoebe adoption mystery, and his scenes with Ava and Alexis are what Shannon and Amanda are most fired up about. Caulfield, best known as Michael Carrington in Grease 2, turns up at the Hammet Gallery with a photo that connects Ethan Lovett directly to Phoebe's birth mother, Delilah, and the question of whether Ethan is Phoebe's father is now front and center. The rest of the week: Rocco sent a video home using a childhood code phrase to tell Lulu he went with Britt by choice, Sonny and Laura laid out a plan to turn Pascal against Sidwell, and Dante covered for Lulu about the fake passport. Kristina got accepted to UCLA medical school and immediately wasn't sure she wanted to go. Curtis is facing felony assault charges, a young patient's liver transplant is on hold, Willow told Chase she doesn't want to be married to Drew, and Brook Lynn caught them through the window. Also this week: the Port Charles Pipeline, listener takes on the Dante debate, some unexpected international rankings news, and the Reality Check. Thursday's 411 is part two of the Willow and Nina retrospective. Find us at GeneralHospitalPodcast.com. New episodes every Monday and Thursday. Learn more about your ad choices.

• Episode 757: Willow & Nina Part 1 (2018-2019) 28.05.2026 54min

  This week we went all the way back to where Nina Reeves and Willow Tait first crossed paths, because if you think their relationship is complicated now, wait until you hear how it started. We are covering 2018 and 2019, from Willow flagging Charlotte Cassadine's bullying of her classmate Aiden Spencer, to Nina engineering Willow's firing from Port Charles Elementary, to the moment at the Nurses' Ball where a fight between them put information directly into Shiloh's hands that Willow had been desperately trying to keep from him. By the end of 2019 Nina had lost the daughter she thought she had found in Sasha Gilmore, and Willow was sitting in a diner quietly wishing she could be a mother to a little boy who turned out to be her biological nephew. Neither of them had any idea they were connected. This is Part 1 of the Nina and Willow story and there is a lot more to come.

• Episode 756: They're Getting 1 Star 5/25/26 25.05.2026 1h 29min

  This week on Pier 54, Shannon and Amanda break down a packed week in Port Charles. Britt Westbourne made a decision that changed everything, and she did not make it alone. Rocco Falconeri showed up at her office door with his passport and a reason she could not argue with. Meanwhile, Lulu Spencer and Dante Falconeri hit a breaking point over what to do about Rocco's safety, Anna Devane's situation in France went from bad to worse before an unlikely alliance stepped in, and a single line from Ethan Lovett landed like a gut punch for anyone who remembers Luke Spencer. Also this week: new detective Joe Fitzpatrick makes his Port Charles debut, Curtis Ashford faces assault charges and a skeptical new colleague, Nina Reeves makes a surprising choice at Jack Brennan's bedside, and the kids at Wyndemere find out exactly how close to danger they really are. Plus fan mail from Emily and Renee, Calla Lily, and more in the Port Charles Pipeline. Amanda has big personal news in Reality Check. And Thursday's Port Charles 411 is all about Nina and Willow.

• Episode 755: Chase and Willow 21.05.2026 1h 7min

  This week on Port Charles 411, Shannon and Amanda are going back to where it all started with Chase and Willow. If you have been watching General Hospital lately, you know something is building between them again. But do you know their full history? Because it is a good one. Three years, a cult, a fake affair, a hospital proposal, and a pair of wedding rings left on a table. Tune in every Monday as Shannon and Amanda recap the week's episodes and keep you up to date on everything happening in Port Charles.

• Episode 754: Belligerent Toad 5/18/26 18.05.2026 1h 21min

  Drew was regaining movement and got to the landline. He almost made it. Nina used his dose on Brennan instead of Valentin, Cullum worked his way through every contact he had, and Dante found out how much had been kept from him about his son. This week we cover Sonny pulling a gun on Ric at the gallery and how that resolved, Drew's near-escape and what happened when Willow walked in, Willow trying to take control at Wyndemere and Sidwell shutting that down fast, Cullum's path through the hospital and straight to Carly's door, Dante confronting Lulu and then Nathan at his office, the boathouse conversation between Dante and Rocco, Lulu and Britt in the same room going nowhere, Ethan watching Brook Lynn and Chase with baby Phoebe from across the restaurant and the question he asked after Kristina held her, Cassius opening up to Josslyn more than he has to anyone, Curtis punching Isaiah and what Isaiah said that made it happen, and Jordan taking the bandage off. Port Charles Pipeline this week: Cheri's theory that Ethan was protecting Delilah from a dangerous situation, Charis pushing back on who caused the Jordan and Curtis crash, and a reminder that the SNAP Out Hunger event with Rena Sofer and Vanessa Marcil is August 22nd in Pittsburgh. This Thursday on Pier 54: the Port Charles 411 goes into Chase and Willow's history. New episodes every Monday and Thursday.

• Episode 753: General Hospital Fan Spotlight - Emily & Renee 14.05.2026 1h 11min

  This week's Port Charles 411 Fan Spotlight features Emily and Renee, a mother and daughter who have been watching General Hospital together for decades, across two states and a lot of texts about the show. Renee got started in the seventies, introduced to GH by her grandmother over after-school snacks. Emily came to the show through her mom and has been watching since she was little. She found Pier 54 while looking into starting a mother-daughter GH podcast of her own, discovered Shannon and Amanda had already built one, and has been listening ever since. Her Fan Spotlight entry dates back to June 2023, which makes this one nearly three years in the making. The conversation covers favorite couples, GH history going back to the Luke and Laura era, the moments that hit hardest, and plenty of current storyline speculation from all four of them.

• Episode 752: Real Safe Grandma 5/11/26 11.05.2026 1h 32min

  Jack Brennan burst into Carly's bedroom and found Valentin Cassadine stepping out from hiding with a gun on him. Valentin introduced himself as her attorney. Cullum, meanwhile, declared Brennan incompetent and made clear he was now in charge. Joss spent the week locked below Wyndemere after Nathan choked her unconscious in her apartment. By Thursday, he told her everything: his name is Cassius Faison, Nathan's twin. Joss figured out pretty quickly why he was telling her all of this. Ric asked Elizabeth to go away with him. She said yes. Laura called Ric to her office and tried to find out whether he had truly changed. Nathan told Lulu it was not if Cullum found out Rocco shot him, it was when, and when he did he would kill him. Lulu did not move Rocco. Dante and Liz pieced together the blood on the gun was not Cullum's. Rocco and Danny are brothers. Of course Jason would protect him. At Willow's house, Nina hid a syringe under Wiley's toy truck before answering the door for Jack, Valentin stepped out with a gun, and it ended with Jack on the floor. Ethan heard Delilah Wilson's name for the first time at Tracy's, went to the pier, pulled out a polaroid, and talked to it. Then Sonny pulled a gun on Ric at Ava's gallery. Also this week: Michael James Scott performed at the Savoy, Brook Lynn and Chase talked adoption, Molly's book is being published, and the Jordan hit-and-run investigation keeps grinding. A shout out to Louise for the Jonathan Jackson and Claire show link, June 6 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. And a quick note for anyone who wrote in about Ethan and Joss: he is Luke's son, she is Bobbie's granddaughter through Carly. Cousins.

• Episode 751: Lucy Coe (1986-2026) 07.05.2026 32min

  This week on Port Charles 411, Shannon and Amanda are covering one of General Hospital's most iconic characters from start to finish: Lucy Coe. Lucy has been a lot of things since she first walked into Port Charles in 1986. A mousy librarian. A surrogate mother. A CEO. A vampire slayer. A reluctant spy. A woman who has ended up in her underwear on the Nurses' Ball stage more times than anyone can count. She has married her way through the Port Charles phonebook, launched Deception Cosmetics more than once, and somehow remained one of the most beloved figures in daytime television history. This episode covers it all: the murder trial alibi that started everything, her marriages to Tony Jones, Alan Quartermaine, Scott Baldwin, Rex Stanton, and Kevin Collins, the founding of the Nurses' Ball in 1994, the full Port Charles spinoff era including vampires and a healing spring beneath the city, her return to General Hospital in 2012, the Nurses' Ball kiss that blew up her marriage, the Ava Jerome blackmail, the Victor Cassadine spy mission, her romance with Martin Grey, the barnyard photo shoot, and where things stand right now with Jens Sidwell. This one came together thanks to a write-up submitted by Pier 54 listener Kim Hudson, who tracked Lucy's full history using her research, her sources, and, in her own words, her own body memory. We had a lot of feelings about all of it. Find us at GeneralHospitalPodcast.com.

• Episode 750: Sliver of Your Liver 5/4/26 04.05.2026 1h 15min

  Valentin has been in Carly's attic for months. His phone call to Anna's clinic was a mistake, Cullum caught it, and now Brennan is in Carly's bedroom. Meanwhile, Chase shows up to Willow's office with flowers and Michael is on his way out the door when it happens. He sees enough. Shannon has thoughts. Brook Lynn is carrying serious guilt about Jordan's accident and it is starting to show. Alexis gives her a reality check about the adoption line, Trina delivers a package at the worst possible moment, and Brook Lynn's reaction says everything. Brick visits Jordan and makes no attempt to hide how he feels about her. Curtis is building a case against Isaiah, and the paint from the accident scene is pointing toward a German vehicle. Rocco keeps ending up near Cullum's room during his community service hours, Britt pulls him out, and what she does next is what Shannon and Amanda cannot stop arguing about. Joss is gathering intel she was never supposed to have, Dante tells her he already knows she is WSB, and her visit to Nina is one of the most awkward scenes of the week. Nathan pushes Lulu to send Rocco out of town and Lulu is not having it. Lucy arrives at Bobbie's while Ava is already there with Jenz, inserts herself into a vacation plan, and later tries to provoke Ava directly. Ethan turns down Sonny's loyalty test and makes clear he has his own reasons for wanting Jenz handled. Kristina and Lucas plan the Marco Rios Tennis Center, James and Nathan have a moment at the Metro Court that leaves more questions than answers, and the Savoy is buzzing ahead of Michael James Scott's performance next week. We also get into our Port Charles Pipeline, listener mail about the fan trip conversation, and a preview of Thursday's Port Charles 411 on Lucy Coe. New episodes every Monday and Thursday.

• Episode 749: Diane Miller Part 3 (2017 - 2026) 30.04.2026 1h 16min

  We are wrapping up our three-part deep dive into Diane Miller, covering roughly 2017 through today. This episode has everything: custody battles, interventions, a near-death experience, one very ruined white dress, and a love story the show keeps interrupting at the worst possible moments. We pick up with Diane bursting into an interrogation room to stop Alexis from confessing to a murder, going head to head with Nora Buchanan over Charlotte's custody, and navigating the impossible position of representing Sonny while genuinely caring about Carly during their divorce proceedings. From there we move through the two-Jasons situation and Diane's very practical approach to Jason Morgan returning from the dead, her complete lack of boundaries when it comes to Alexis's love life, the insanity plea that did not go the way anyone planned, the chaos of the Shiloh custody case, and the Michael and Nelle hearing that ends with one of the best single lines Diane has ever delivered in a courtroom. We also get into the hook attack and what follows, the slow and repeatedly interrupted love story with Robert Scorpio, and the moment Diane gets to walk into the Invader, hold up a letter like a gift, and tell Alexis that the two-year suspension she was just handed actually started four years ago. Diane Miller is the fiercest woman in Port Charles. Twenty years of cases, clients, and friendships later, she is still the person you call when everything has gone wrong.

• Episode 748: Sisters Would Talk 4/27/2026 27.04.2026 1h 17min

  Ethan Lovett is back and wasted no time asking Sonny for Jason's old job. Sonny hired him on a trial basis while Ric Lansing went to Alexis for everything she knew about Ethan. Alexis defended him and then turned the whole conversation around on Ric. Later Ethan reunited with Tracy and came face to face with Sidwell, turning down his drink and making clear he knows exactly what Sidwell did to his family. Willow summoned Jack Brennan to her congressional office and told him to hand over evidence against Drew and kill the traffic cam footage of her car, or she would pull WSB funding and blame harassment. At Drew's, Nina told him she knows everything and is not going to help him. When Liz stopped by and figured out he was blinking SOS, she told Nina and Kai that Drew was trying to communicate and she would talk to Willow about better options. Nina was less than thrilled. Rocco was doing volunteer work when Britt walked in on him bringing a pillow to Cullum's room, which led to Rocco telling her everything. Britt went straight to Cassius and told him Rocco needs to be protected and that she knows Rocco shot Cullum. Joss brought Valentin a Faison book with Anna's photo on the cover and Faison's signature cigars pulled from Cullum's belongings, and raised the question of why Nathan claims to remember nothing when Britt came back from being gone knowing exactly what had happened to her. Gio and Emma had the highlight of the week, spending time in New York City for a VIP backstage experience at Broadway's Aladdin thanks to Gio's friend Michael James Scott. We also shared the sad news that Rick Hutton, who played Lenny Caulfield, passed away on April 18 at age 73. In the Port Charles Pipeline we covered fan theories on Ethan and Sidwell, the Cassius and Shakespeare connection, and the idea of a Pier 54 fan cruise.

• Episode 747: Diane Miller Part 2 (2012-2016) 23.04.2026 47min

  If you missed part one, go back and listen before jumping into this one. We also re-released our book club episode on The Secret Life of Damian Spinelli right before this, because that is exactly where part one wrapped up. Part two covers 2012 through 2016, and it is a lot. We are talking Todd Manning, Franco, A.J. Quartermaine, the Georgie custody battle, Ric Lansing, Luke Spencer, and some of Diane's most important work alongside Alexis Davis. Somehow this is all one person's caseload. We get into Todd Manning and the baby switch, the conflict of interest juggling act with Johnny Zacchara, the guardianship hearing for Connie Falconeri, and that pretrial hearing where Diane walked into a courtroom and pulled a brain tumor in a jar out of a paper bag. The prosecutor called it a cheap stunt. The judge called it a valid legal point. From there we cover A.J. Quartermaine's murder defense, the Maxie and Spinelli custody battle for Georgie, Ric Lansing, Luke Spencer facing some of the most serious charges Port Charles has ever seen, and Diane working alongside Alexis through the entire Julian Jerome situation, inside the courtroom and out. Part three picks up in 2017. Join us Monday for this week's recap. We will meet you at the pier.

• Bonus Episode: Revisiting Ethan Lovett 21.04.2026 27min

  Port Charles 411 | Ethan Lovett (Bonus Re-Release) We are re-releasing our 2023 Port Charles 411 on Ethan Lovett as a bonus episode because the OG is back. Nathan Parsons returned to the role on April 17, 2026. When we originally recorded this episode, Ethan had briefly been recast with actor James Ryan, so that is who we reference at the top. Just a heads up as you listen. Ethan first arrived in Port Charles in January 2009, catching Luke Spencer's attention after getting caught trying to rob the Haunted Star Casino. It did not take long for the question of his parentage to take over, and after some DNA test drama, a lie from Holly Sutton, and a lot of back and forth, it was confirmed that Luke was his father. From there, Ethan's time in Port Charles included a complicated situation with Kristina Corinthos Davis, a mob job with Johnny Zacchara, an accidental marriage to Maya Ward in Las Vegas, a stay at Windermere Castle that led to a Cassadine trap, and more kidnappings than any one person should have to deal with. He also played a key role in keeping Robert Scorpio from jumping off a bridge, popped up in Monte Carlo in 2020, and was last seen in 2023 being auctioned off at a Cassadine compound in Venezuela. Now he is back, and according to Nathan Parsons, Ethan has a little more edge this time around. Give this one a listen to get caught up before tuning in, and join us Monday for this week's recap. #GeneralHospital #GH #EthanLovett #NathanParsons #PortCharles #Pier54Podcast #SoapOpera #Daytime #ABCSoaps #GHFan #LukeSpencer #LuckySpencer #LuluSpencer #RobertScorpio #HelenaCassadine #HollySutton #FeliciaScorpio #DanteFalconeri #KieferBauer #KristinaCorinthos #OliviaQuartermaine #AnnaDevane #LucyCoe #AlexisDavis #SamMcCall #SonnyCorinthos #SoapTok  Learn more about your ad choices.

• Episode 746: Blue and Yellow Make Green 4/20/26 20.04.2026 1h 29min

  This week we are recapping April 13 through April 17, 2026. No Port Charles Pipeline this week, so we got straight into it. Ric showed up at Alexis's door with news that Danny had gone to Sonny about joining the mob, and somehow the situation ended with a ball gag, a Halloween costume excuse, and Ric earning a rare brownie point. Dante took Danny and Rocco to the batting cages to get them talking, and after he left they actually did. Meanwhile Willow told Nina she was the one who shot Drew, handed her a syringe, and then used the fingerprints on it as leverage. Nina tried to dispose of the needle in a Ziploc bag. Willow pointed out that is not how sharps work. Drew blinked through the whole thing and Nina never figured out what he was trying to say. Joss approached Cassius at the gym and the whole conversation felt off from the start. He went home and started replaying it, which is not great when you are the lead detective on Marco's case. Ezra had a rough week, ended up drunk at the Brown Dog, and Laura brought him home. By the time she came back with coffee he was passed out on her couch. He rallied like someone twenty years younger and the two of them came up with a plan to take down Sidwell. Shannon does not trust that it ends well for Ezra. Willow also went after Jacinda at her office, and Jacinda held her ground completely. Friday's Hulu headline told us everything about Ethan Lovett's return before the episode even started, and we are officially mad about it. Thursday's Port Charles 411 is part two of Diane, which turns out to be three parts because that woman has done a lot. We are also re-releasing our Spinelli episode as a bonus episode since Ethan is back and it has been a few years.

• Episode 745: The Secret Life of Damian Spinelli 16.04.2026 28min

  We are rereleasing our August 2020 book club episode as a companion to this week's Port Charles 411 all about Diane Miller. Since Carolyn Hennessey, who plays Diane, wrote this book, it felt like the perfect time to bring it back. The Secret Life of Damian Spinelli is a 2011 novel written by Hennessey as a tie-in to General Hospital, released on April 5, 2011 to coincide with the show's 48th anniversary. The format is chapter by chapter, each featuring a different Port Charles character, with Spinelli narrating his cases to Diane late at night. Shannon and Amanda break down their favorite chapters, including Edward searching for Lila's ghost on the family yacht, Tracy holding Luke captive only for Spinelli to discover Luke could have left the whole time, Alan haunting Monica and asking for a second chance, and Helena believing Alexis is actually her long dead sister Christina. They also get into the chapters that were harder to buy, including Jason and Spinelli going undercover in Sam's band, a very unexpected Carly storyline, and a Brenda ending that left some questions.

• Episode 744: Mafia for Dummies 4/13/26 13.04.2026 1h 16min

  Curtis and Jordan's date night ended in a crash after leaning in for a kiss took their eyes off the road, only to look up and find another car coming straight at them. Charlotte called Carly from Danny's phone after she and Danny had their own separate accident, and Valentin ended up at the scene helping Curtis pull Jordan from the car just before it exploded. He called 911 and disappeared into the woods before first responders arrived. Meanwhile, Ric continued to make us nervous with a conversation that ended in ways that were hard to read, Danny got a crash course from Sonny in what Amanda called Mafia for Dummies, and Britt found herself in a life or death moment when Cassius brought her directly to Sidwell at Wyndemere. Charlie's reopened and Gio performed a beautiful set, with Trina singing alongside him. Jacinda had asked Gio to accompany her for her own performance, but when the show came back the whole thing was already over and we had completely missed it. Everyone was raving about how incredible she was, not a single note made it to air. Amanda let us know that actress Paige Herschell can actually sing, and Shannon found her band San Lyon, a jazz swing quartet worth looking up. On the relationship front, Valentin told Carly he had feelings for her, then slipped out the back when Brennan arrived to pour his heart out about Jakarta and Jason. Nina finally used the leverage she had been sitting on against Brennan all along. We are re-releasing our Damien Spinelli episode from August 2020 on Thursday before coming back with part two of our Diane series.

• Episode 743: Diane Miller Part 1 (2006-2012) 09.04.2026 1h 23min

  Diane Miller: Port Charles's Sharpest Legal Mind Played by Carolyn Hennesy, Diane Miller arrived in Port Charles in 2006 as Sonny's attorney and never looked back. She won cases that had no business being won, managed impossible clients, and told the truth when no one wanted to hear it — all with the cool confidence of someone who had seen everything before and found most of it beneath her. In this episode, we dig into Diane's defining moments: Jason's murder trial and the not-guilty verdict she pulled off against all odds, the collapse of Sonny's Claudia Zacchara trial the moment Dante walked through that courtroom door, and the quietly honest reckoning she had with herself afterward. We also get into her legendary dynamic with Alexis Davis — competitors turned confidants, born out of a flat tire, a hostile biker bar, and a fired gun — and the surprisingly sweet love story she found with Max Giambetti, snow globe and all. Diane Miller is one of the best things General Hospital ever did, and this one is long overdue. 🎙️ Find us at GeneralHospitalPodcast.com or search Pier 54 - A General Hospital Fan Podcast wherever you listen.

• Episode 742: Liesl Didn't Parent Trap This Kid 4/6/26 06.04.2026 1h 27min

  We are recapping the week of March 30 through April 3, 2026. Nathan left breakfast with James and Felicia and went to Wyndemere, where Sidwell confirmed he was not speaking to Nathan West — he was speaking to Cassius Faison. We have a lot of questions about where this twin fits into the Faison family history and the show has not answered them yet. Before Marco's service, Carly tried and failed to talk Sonny and Ric out of going, asking Sonny what he would have done if Julian had shown up to Morgan's funeral. Laura had already come by earlier in the week and disclosed to Ric for the first time that she was also being blackmailed by Sidwell. The service happened off camera, which we were not thrilled about, Sidwell told Sonny he would be sorry, and Lucas turned down Carly's offer of a room at the Metro Court. He is staying at Wyndemere and he knows exactly what he is doing. We are also sitting on a theory we hope we are wrong about. Ric may be working for Sidwell. He came back to Port Charles shortly after Lucky escaped Sidwell's compound, is now Sonny's closest advisor, knows everything including Laura's involvement, and this week drew a deliberate single tear down his cheek to get information out of Liz at GH. Lucas, meanwhile, pieced together with Britt that Cullum killed Marco by reading texts on Marco's phone, then realized he had saved the life of his boyfriend's killer. He had a panic attack. His move into Wyndemere is not grief. It is strategy, and proving Cullum is a double agent could mean justice for Marco and a path to freeing Jason.

• Episode 741: Liz and Ric Part 2 (2014 - 2015) 02.04.2026 1h 31min

  Ric Lansing is not a villain in the traditional sense. He is a man who genuinely loves someone and somehow manages to find new ways to ruin it. Part Two picks up in March 2014 when Ric walks back into Port Charles after a ten-year absence, straight into Elizabeth's orbit. There are roses. There is a candlelit dinner booked under the name Barney Rubble. There is a violinist. And then Anna Devane kicks the door in with a search warrant. What follows involves a faked death, witness protection, a man with no memory living in Liz's spare room, and an elaborate scheme that Ric cooked up involving a hired actress, a blackmailing accomplice named Pete, and a completely fabricated marriage. Carly — yes, Carly — is the one who unravels the whole thing, and she does it on the Nurses' Ball stage in front of everyone. Liz slaps him. It is deserved. We also cover where things stand heading into Part Three, and why the Nina situation the very next day remains one of the more stunning pivots in this entire storyline.

• Episode 740: What’s the Play 3/30/26 30.03.2026 1h 30min

  Both of us guessed wrong on who was setting the table — it was Valentin making coq au vin in Carly's kitchen. He's also made it for Anna, so that's his dish. The wine bottle was a prop; the Loire Valley and California Central Coast can't share a label. Carly got caught when Lucas showed up, the leftovers were allegedly thrown away, and coq au vin only gets better in the fridge. Cullum stabbed Marco seven times, moved his phone out of reach, and turned off the lights. Alexis and Danny found him by chance — she kept pressure on the wounds, and he called 911. Marco didn't make it. Lucas was in surgery on Cullum with no idea. Liz had to tell him. She asked him to sit down. He said just tell me. Sidwell thanked Lucas for loving his son, then invited him back to Wyndemere. Grief or strategy, we're not sure. Rocco overheard Britt and Lucas at the hospital — she's sick, Lucas got her medication, she's leaving. He followed her to the pier. Cullum had read Lucas's text and got there first, smashed the vials, and pulled a gun on Britt. Jason arrived from Danny's basketball game — he'd headbutted Dante to get out of a WSB arrest — fought Cullum, the gun fell, and Rocco shot Cullum. Nathan showed up: the police are two minutes out, what's the play. He took Rocco out. Jason woke Britt and told her to say she saw him pull the trigger. She did. Jason said nothing at the PCPD. Lulu is already asking Britt who else was there. Rocco is not holding up. Our position on Ric and Liz hasn't changed. It's not Rick Hearst — he plays it perfectly. It's the shortcut: months of no became a kiss on the floor with no friendship in between. Liz stopped Ric from telling her the truth about the detox. When she finds out what he's doing with Sonny, he will point to that dinner. Franco set the standard. The bar exists. Chase and Brook Lynn named the baby Phoebe, and Brook Lynn wants to keep her — abandoned infants are wards of the state, not how it works. Wiley asked the foster care social worker what a hooker is, and Olivia had used the word in the next room. Gio asked why Corinthos Coffee wasn't at the station — our tagline: when you want your coffee as dark as your storylines. #gh #ghupdates #generalhospitalpodcast #carlyspencer #valentincassadine #laurawright #jamespatrickstuart #luluspencer #nathanwest #damianspinelli #brooklynnchase #harrisonchase  #elizabethbaldwin #lauracollins #giopalmieri #jasonmorgan #dannymorgan #charlottecassadine #alexisdavis #tracyquartermaine #roccofalconeri #brittwestbourne #annadevane #sonnycorinthos #josslynjacks #marcorios #jenzsidwell #adriananchondo #lucasjones #vanhansis #avajerome  Learn more about your ad choices.
