View Story

At the boxing gym, Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) discuss the lockdown lifting. Brando reveals that he’s decided to stay in Port Charles and admits his blunder when talking about cults. He got off on the wrong foot with Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Lexi Ainsworth) and Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), who chewed Brando out when she came to the garage.

At the community center, Molly Lansing-Davis (Haley Pullos) is tired of feeling guilty and just wants to come clean to TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow). When Sam and Kristina start bickering about what their sister should do, Molly lashes out at them.

General Hospital Spoilers – Alexis Davis Helps

After Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) shows up to help with the clothing drive, she gets updates on Molly’s domestic partnership news. Alexis starts praising Molly’s moral compass, but Molly ends up blurting out that she slept with someone else.

Once Alexis is brought up to speed on the Brando situation, Kristina argues that the truth would put Molly’s relationship at risk. Sam suggests Molly should confess since she’s having trouble keeping his to herself anyway. Kristina doesn’t think Sam can judge Molly since Sam’s been sneaking around with Jason and risking a parole violation.

Sam brings up the work that went into saving Kristina from Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) and points to that as the reason she’s on parole now. When Kristina seeks confirmation that Sam blames her for everything, Sam admits she does.

GH Spoilers – Neil Byrne Attacks Julian Jerome

At Charlie’s Pub, Neil Byrne (Joe Flanigan) attacks Julian Jerome (William deVry) for making a private matter a public one. Julian isn’t concerned about Neil losing his career, but Neil notes that Alexis could lose hers, too. Neil hints at giving Alexis a fresh start, but Julian thinks Neil makes Alexis happy. Although Julian certainly isn’t a fan of Neil’s, he urges him to fight for Alexis.

At Wyndemere, Ava Jerome (Maura West) speaks to Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) over the phone about her portrait unveiling. Later, Ava learns Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) sent Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) a letter. After Ava hears that Spencer’s willingness to accept Nikolas back into his life if he leaves her, she assumes Nik will want a divorce and will move out.t

Nikolas is taken aback over Ava sticking to their postnup, but Ava thinks a deal’s a deal. When Nik insists Ava drove Kiki Jerome (Hayley Erin) away and hopes Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola) sees her mother for who she really is, Ava’s furious. She warns Nikolas not to talk about her kids, but Nikolas wants Ava to stop using Spencer as a pawn.

Ava stands her ground on the postnup and contends that Nikolas can prove he’d do anything for Spencer. At GH, Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) finds Franco in his art therapy room. They talk about the invitation to Ava’s portrait unveiling, which mentions Franco’s past. Liz is upset over Ava using Franco, but he counters that his history isn’t a secret.

Franco admits that a producer reached out about the 10th anniversary of his “Francophrenia” art show. He notes that he’s had several offers for his side of the story, which could help boost their income. However, Elizabeth is adamant about Franco turning those offers down.

Liz doesn’t want Franco to have to relive his past, but Franco points out that scandal sells and doesn’t think he’ll ever escape his past anyway. Franco doesn’t think Liz understands how things work in the art world because she’s never been a real artist. Liz is understandably hurt, although Franco tries desperately to undo the damage.
