Major shakeups are on the horizon in Port Charles! 🌟 Willow stuns everyone with an unexpected request, Cody wrestles with his guilty conscience, and Nina seeks out Ric for some much-needed advice. As secrets unravel, confessions surface, and emotions run high, this Friday’s episode of General Hospital is set to deliver nonstop drama and intrigue you won’t want to miss.

Port Charles is bracing for a whirlwind as alliances shift and secrets threaten to come to light. At the heart of the storm is Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), fiercely determined to reunite with her children. Though she’s surrounded by support—her hospital colleagues are preparing to testify on her behalf at the October visitation hearing, and Chase (Josh Swickard) stands firmly in her corner—it’s Drew (Cameron Mathison) who keeps overstepping, playing the hero she never asked for. His relentless interference has earned him a spot on ADA Justine Turner’s (Nazneen Contractor) blacklist, complicating matters further.

But on Friday’s episode, Willow shocks everyone by making a bold request, despite the outpouring of help she’s already received. Who is she turning to, and what could she possibly want now? One thing’s for sure—it won’t be Nina (Cynthia Watros). After all, Willow has made her feelings clear about her mother’s betrayal, and another olive branch seems unlikely.

Still, Nina can’t help herself. She’s quietly determined to support Willow from the shadows. Unable to stand by, Nina seeks out Ric (Rick Hearst)—the lawyer she’s secretly hired to represent Willow. Her involvement may be anonymous, but her motherly concern is impossible to hide.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Port Charles, confessions are bubbling to the surface. Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) offers encouragement to Kristina (Kate Mansi), who is orchestrating her own complicated scheme. Kristina is paying Cody (Josh Kelly) to seduce Ava (Maura West), hoping to drive a wedge between Ava and Ric and end their blackmail of Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn). But Cody’s conscience is weighing heavily on him. He’s no longer the man who takes shortcuts for a quick payday, and his growing feelings for Ava—and the potential fallout with Molly (Kristen Vaganos)—make the plan even riskier. Will Cody come clean and confess, or will he go through with Kristina’s plot?

Amid all the turmoil, Carly (Laura Wright) finds herself worried sick. She confides her anxieties to Brennan (Chris McKenna), desperate for news about Joss (Eden McCoy), who’s gone radio silent since leaving for Australia to help a family friend. Carly can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. What will Brennan do with this information, and could it lead to more trouble for the Corinthos family?

As Friday’s episode unfolds, Port Charles is set for a cascade of confessions, risky gambits, and emotional revelations. In a town where secrets rarely stay buried, everyone is about to learn just how far a parent—or a friend—will go for the ones they love.
