Key Takeaways

  • Lulu confronts Ethan about Ava.
  • Brook Lynn grills Ava.
  • Josslyn tries to explain.
  • Valentin reassures Carly.
  • Brick launches Sonny’s scheme.

Lulu Spencer’s Shock

Let’s start off from the beginning of the preview clip. First up, we have Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening). The woman is seated at a restaurant, talking to an unseen person.

This person is most likely Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean). Lulu reacts with total shock as she asks, “Are you interested in Ava Jerome?!”

Lulu is going to be a tad horrified and could warn Ethan about the dangers of getting romantically tangled with Ava. I’m not sure if Ethan will really listen to her warnings, though.

Daytime Emmy Nominations For Outstanding Lead Actress Are Out, Who Are You Rooting To Win?

Ava Jerome Grilled

As for Ava, she will get interrogated. The woman faces Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton). The brunette wants to know if the blonde knows anything about Phoebe’s (Luna and Lucia Creighton) father.

Ava certainly does, but she might not say anything. It would be easy for Ava to be vague because she doesn’t know the facts, just her suspicions. So, Ava technically wouldn’t be telling a lie.

Josslyn Jacks Explains

General Hospital spoilers reveal that the preview clip for tomorrow’s episode also features Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) visiting her friend in the hospital. While Trina is meeting her baby brother, she might as well see Josslyn. 

However, Trina has some questions for her BFF. In the promo, Josslyn frantically tries to explain things. However, the blonde admits that while there is a simple answer, the reasons behind it are complicated. 

 

Valentin Cassadine’s Feelings

As for Valentin, he brings up Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) to Carly Spencer (Laura Wright). The man wants to know if Carly is worried about his feelings for Anna now that she’s back in town. 

Brick’s Assurance

Finally, we have Brick (Stephen A. Smith). The man is meeting with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) about Carly. Brick tells the mob boss that he can help him. However, what does he plan to do to drive a wedge between Carly and Valentin?

Sonny doesn’t exactly want his ex-wife back. However, he does have a very big problem with Valentin getting cozy with Carly, so stay tuned!
