‘General Hospital’ Recap May 30: Carly Needs Help, Nina Won’t Save Willow, Gloria Arrives In Port Charles

If you missed General Hospital today Friday, May 30, 2025, then you need to catch up with a recap of the episode below!.

The battle over the Corinthos kids is just about on, and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) stopped by to see Curtis Asford (Donnell Turner) at his office.

She tells him that she is there to ask him to help Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) get custody of his kids.

Curtis knows exactly how awful Drew Cain (Cameron Mathis) is, and Carly tells him that he and Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) intend to say that Michael abandoned his children for months.

Of course, he was actually recovering from 3rd degree burns in a German clinic, not avoiding his kids intentionally.

Carly wants Curtis to use Aurora’s media to expose Drew as the con artist that he actually is. Curtis would love to do that, but his hands are tied because Drew is blackmailing his wife, Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr). (Make sure to check out our next week GH spoilers, here!)

Carly eventually leaves, and on cue, Portia arrives. She decided to tell him that she is responsible for drugging Drew with Ketamine and hiring Jacinda, the sex worker, to help stage what should have been a career-ending scene.

Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) was arrested because Drew framed her by planting the drug in her car. Curtis thinks that if they can find Jacinda, then they might be able to still bury Drew.

Sasha Tells Michael That She Has Been Called As A Witness In His Custody Case

Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) and Michael share a moment when she feels their baby kicking, and she asks if he wants to feel it too.

Michael lights up when they discuss anything at all about the child that Sasha claims to want to raise alone. He tells her that he has custody court and asks Sasha if she can watch Wylie and Amelia while he is gone.

She explains that she can’t because Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) has called her as a witness. They discuss the possibility of being caught, but they both believe that everyone believes that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is the father of Sasha’s baby. Sasha then takes the kids as Michael talks to Carly for a few minutes about everything.

Gio Realizes He Has To Return Home To Face Everyone

Emma Drake (Braedyn Bruner) wakes up alone in a cabin and panics when she realizes that Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) is gone.

He then walks in the door with breakfast for both of them. He tells her that he would never leave her now because she’s the only one that he trusts right now.

Gio’s phone is loaded with missed calls and messages from people that he considers his fake family.

Gio now suspects that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard) knew the truth, and he is trying to piece together how he feels about everyone else.

He is mad at Camila, the woman who was his mother, and Emma interrupts him to support her. She believes that Gio saved Camila’s life after her husband died.

He gave her a reason to keep going, and her love for him was very real. As they talk, Gio realizes that he needs to return to Port Charles for answers.

Alexis Does Damage Control And Then A Bigger Problem Develops

Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) called Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) and Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) in for a meeting to figure out a strategy.

She wants to know absolutely everything that happened on the night of Ric’s accident. For a moment, she thought that no one could place Kristina at the scene of the crime, but then she realized that she would be on police bodycam footage. Alexis also cringes when Kristina admits that she told Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) that she had been on the scene.

They need to figure out where Ric’s car has been hidden because it proves that the brake lines were cut. Alexis also tells Kristina to stop being impulsive and to stay as far away from this case as possible.

After they leave, Laura Collins (Genie Francis) visits Alexis and says that she is very worried about Ace’s trust fund because it is missing about 10 million dollars.

Everyone Is Visiting Elizabeth

Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) is still nursing a broken leg, but she hasn’t been forgotten. First, Ric stops by to bring her dragonberry juice and a treat.

Laura also stopped by just in time to question Ric’s motives and if a reconciliation is on his mind. Their conversation then turns to Liz and Lucky.

Laura says that Lucky still loves Liz, which she believes, but she isn’t sure if they can make it again as a couple. Liz thinks Lucky is great at saving her, but not a fan of the tedious day-to-day stuff that is so important.

After Laura leaves, Lucky arrives and shares that he met with an attorney about Liz and Ric’s accident. He admits that he knows more about the crash than she does.

Nina Is Ready To Let Willow Crash And Burn

Ava Jerome (Maura West) stops by Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) office for an important update. Nina tells her that she thinks that she can finally help Willow to get custody of her kids, but she’s not going to do it.

She explains that she has solid reasons to believe that Michael is actually the father of Sasha’s baby, meaning that he cheated first, but she can’t tell anyone.

First of all, she genuinely loves Sasha and is so happy that she is getting another chance to be a mom.

Second of all, Nina realizes that if Willow gets custody, she will never leave Drew. Instead, she’ll probably move to DC with him.

So, while Nina could drop a bombshell, she actually believes it’s better to let Willow take the fall for the greater good.

As they talk, Ric arrives to see if Nina is ready to testify. Ava leaves, and Nina is a bit apprehensive, so Ric asks point-blank if she has any new information to share.

Brook Lynn Wants Nothing To Do With Lois Or Any Of Her Excuses

Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) overhears Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) taking a call from Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), who tells her that Gio is safe and with Emma.

She thinks that this is the perfect time to attempt to talk to her furious daughter. She asks BLQ a question about Gio, and is told to mind her own business.

Lois keeps defending herself and her actions, but Brook Lynn is having none of it. She agreed to a closed adoption, and by doing something totally different, Lois robbed her of the chance to make decisions as a mother.

In the end, Brook Lynn says that Gio wants nothing to do with her, and now she wants nothing to do with her. Gloria (Ellen Travolta) appears out of thin air and begins yelling at BLQ, telling her not to speak to her mother that way.
