Ric Lansing’s Mistake

Let’s kick off this post with the beginning of the preview clip. First up, we have Elizabeth “Liz” Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst).

The woman was treating Dante Falconeri’s (Dominic Zamprogna) injuries when Ric suddenly busted in the door.

Fans know that Ric was about to propose to Liz. However, the angry look on Liz’s face suggests Ric says way too much. In fact, Liz tells Ric that Dante isn’t going anywhere. Uh-oh!

Isaiah Gannon’s Consideration

Over with Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson), he tries to help Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr).

This must have something to do with Curtis since he’s on his way to prison. The transition is going to be really hard for Curtis.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that the preview clip also shows Alexis trying to warn Curtis.

The woman, who was in prison herself, suggests that Curtis let go of the anger or he might not make it out of Pentonville.

Lulu Spencer’s Reality Check

As for Lulu, she gets a reality check. With an angry and fed-up tone, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) gives the blonde a reality check.

Could this be about Dante, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), or someone else? It may be about Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) moving out.

Judging by the look on Lulu’s face, it seems Carly’s words hurt, but they could give her a realization. 

Josslyn Jacks’ Advice

Over with Josslyn, she will meet up with Jason and deliver some advice. It sounds like it’s another warning about Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).

The WSB agent suggests that given enough time, Britt will sell Jason out. However, I’m not so sure about that. 

In any case, it would be nice for Britt and Jason to have a chance before another curveball gets thrown at them.

Britt seems so joyful, but that’s only going to last for a little while. What do you think will be the next thing they’ll have to deal with? Besides Josslyn running her mouth, of course.
