Dante Falconeri’s Discussion

Let’s start off with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). The detective will confer with ADA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) and tells Dante that, “Alexis has dug her own grave along with Willow Tait.”

They will likely talk about the curveballs in Willow Tait Cain’s (Katelyn MacMullen) criminal trial. They could also talk about Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) getting suspended from the police department. 

Sonny Corinthos’ Urgent Warning

General Hospital spoilers for the next episode will show Sonny trying to deliver an urgent warning to his son. The mob boss might warn Michael to be extra careful how he answers questions on the witness stand.

Michael has told a lot of lies, including about his fake alibi with Jacinda Breckell (Paige Herschell). There was also Alexis getting that note about Michael and Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Elliott) secret.

Even though Sonny will try to warn Michael, the young man will insist he has it all under control. However, Alexis will throw some curveballs in court, just like she did with Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr). Multiple lives could be ruined before this trial is over!

Kristina Corinthos-Davis Surprised

As for Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), she gets taken aback by something. It seems that Kristina believes someone is framing her brother, Michael for something he didn’t do.

Of course, it might also have to do with Alexis’ plan to tear apart Michael’s alibi during Willow’s trial.

Portia’s Plot

Portia Robinson tells Curtis Ashford that she is playing Jenz Sidwell and she intends to keep doing it until she takes him down.

Laura Collins’ Marching Orders

There will also be more stress for Laura Collins (Genie Francis). It seems that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) has another order for the mayor.

Laura has been handling Sidwell’s blackmail so far. However, he will soon have a request that could put her freedom at risk again! Sidwell tells Marco they should never let Laura forget what she intends to lose.
