On The Next General Hospital Portia Robinson’s Pressure

Let’s start off with Portia, who will get a visit from Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner). Right now, Curtis is moving on with Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper).

However, it’s hard to talk about their future when Curtis doesn’t know if he has a baby on the way or not.

Curtis is ready to find out and enough time has passed for Portia to do a paternity test. However, she begs Curtis to give her just a little bit more time.

The doctor might want to fix things with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) before announcing the baby’s paternity.

Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) wants to be a father. Portia also wants him to be the dad. However, could Portia tamper with the results just like she did with Trina’s bio dad storyline?

Laura Collins’ Frantic Push

Over with Laura Collins (Genie Francis), she is alarmed after Charlotte Cassadine’s (Bluesy Burke) bombshell. The girl told her grandmother that she was approached by Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota).

Charlotte also told the mayor about Sidwell’s vague threat toward Ace Cassadine (Karis and Kiernan Barry).

Laura will continue to push Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) to protect Ace by taking him out of Port Charles.

Alexis Davis’ Win

General Hospital spoilers reveal that the preview clip also shows a scene from Willow Tait Cain’s (Katelyn MacMullen) trial. Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) jumps for joy and tells Alexis that she did an incredible job. However, the trial isn’t over yet!

Jacinda Breckell’s Future

Michael tries to find Jacinda. However, the blonde is approached by Kristina, who offers her a deal. Kristina is willing to pay anything for Jacinda to get out of town right away. However, we know that Jacinda ends up testifying, so Kristina’s plan backfires.

Carly Spencer’s Diversion

The preview clip also shows Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) talking to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). The woman suggests that maybe Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) contacted Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). It’s clearly a diversion to throw him off track.

Valentin Cassadine’s Surprise

Over in Carly’s attic, Valentin gets a surprise visitor. Judging by the fugitive’s soft tone, it must be Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke). However, with Brennan wanting Valentin, and Sidwell wanting Valentin, there could be an unexpected ambush!
