General Hospital Spoilers: A Family Affair; Dex Plays Sonny AND Michael

Dex Sonny’s son

The joke is on Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Dex plays Sonny and Michael in a shocking new twist.

General Hospital spoilers suggest Michael thinks Dex is all in on his plan to take down his father. While Dex has proven to Michael he understands the mission, what Michael doesn’t know is that Dex has a mission of his own.

Dex’s loyalty to Michael seems to come out of left field. However, his display of concern for Sonny seems genuine. Is it possible that Dex is torn between wanting revenge on both Sonny and Michael while also feeling a connection?

General Hospital rumors claim Dex is playing both sides as he has an agenda of his own. GH rumors speculate Dex has a personal vendetta against Sonny; and Michael too! Michael just might get exactly what he’s wished for. He told Dex to gain Sonny’s trust by filling a void in his life. A lost son was what Michael advised him to become in order for Sonny to open up. What if it turns out Dex is exactly what Michael wants him to be?

Is Sonny Dex’s father?

General Hospital spoilers suggest Dex plays Sonny and Michael because he feels he was cheated in life.

If Sonny truly is Dex’s son, it’s possible Dex has come back for the family he never had. His vendetta against Michael comes from feeling like Michael received the father Dex didn’t had, although, Michael isn’t even Sonny’s biological son.

At the end of the day, family is family. When it comes to loyalty, is blood thicker than water? So many possibilities could arise if Dex turns out to be Sonny’s son. Michael wants nothing to do with Sonny, as Dex could be longing for the father he never had. Will he have a change of heart and choose to give Sonny a chance at fatherhood?

General Hospital Spoilers: Dex’s Motives Are Personal, He Too Feels Betrayed By His Father

Dex’s vendetta against Sonny

What’s in it for Dex? Dex has a personal vendetta against Sonny

One day Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) decided he needed to get revenge on his own father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). That’s when he found Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), who was ready and willing. Yet Michael is unaware Dex’s vendetta against Sonny is personal.

After being so close as father and son, Michael couldn’t believe his family oriented, mobster-father could betray his family the way he had. Michael was devastated when he and the Corinthos family experienced a miracle just to lose his dad all over again. The way Michael sees it is that he lost his father to the woman [Nina Reeves] who kept him from his wife and entire family.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Michael is more determined than ever to destroy Sonny from the inside out. He hired Dex to work undercover as Sonny’s trusted employee. Dex has been ready and willing to help Michael, at the same time, unaware as to how to gain the mobster’s trust. Michael advised Dex to become something Sonny is missing… a son. The loss of Michael’s brother Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) hit their family hard, leaving Sonny and Carly with a hole in their heart. Will Michael take advantage of his father’s grief?

General Hospital rumors hint there has been one thing Dex hasn’t had to fake while pretending to be on Sonny’s side. GH rumors hint Dex could be Sonny’s long lost son. His dedication to help Michael destroy Sonny seems out of place for a complete stranger. What if Dex is Sonny’s long lost son? Michael remains clueless of his father’s past relationships and the possibility of having another child out in the world.

Is Dex in Port Charles to reclaim what should rightfully be his? Sonny has a long list of ex lovers ????, three of which stick out as potential mothers to Dex. Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), Lily Rivera (Lilly Melgar), and Reese Marshall (Kari Wuhrer), come to mind.

General Hospital Spoilers: “I’m Sorry, The Old Carly Can’t Come To The Phone Right Now, Why? Oh! ’Cause She’s Dead!”

Is Carly Corinthos dead?
Look What You Made Me Do -Taylor Swift

Is Carly Corinthos dead? Alright, don’t panic! Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) set out to Jacksonville, Florida. She was about to take some time for personal growth and professional development when her plans got hijacked. Carly’s plane made an emergency landing, delaying her flight and missing her business conference.

Carly never expected to run into her past. She was forced to face some painful memories which made her reflect on who she used to be.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Carly stayed strong and did what she had to do to make things right with her late mother, Virginia. With the help of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Carly was inspired to take charge of her life.

General Hospital recaps recall Carly’s determination to walk away from her Corinthos name. She is ready to create her own identity and take control of her future. Living in Sonny Corinthos’s shadow doesn’t suit Carly anymore.

General Hospital rumors speculate something is off about Carly’s journey to self discovery. Some GH fans have questioned whether or not Carly is even conscious. Could Carly be dreaming while suffering head trauma? GH fans noticed certain details of the story that were suspicious.

Fans remember the way Reese died to have been much different than the story Carly told Drew. Reese Marshall (Kari Wührer) showed up in Port Charles in the early 2000s. The FBI agent was out to destroy Carly’s life, while her goal was to come between Carly and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Reese died in the Port Charles train wreck storyline in 2005.

Also, Peyton Honeycutt’s complete 180° didn’t sit too well with observant fans. She resented Carly for her husband’s infidelity while using her power in the community to hurt Carly. The whole thing just seems surreal, as if Carly’s subconscious is running wild.

Is Carly Corinthos dead?

General Hospital rumors hint that the old Carly Corinthos cant come to the phone right now. Why? ’Cause she’s dead! but not really though. Although Carly very well could be in a coma, dreaming of making peace with her past, however, GH rumors hint she will indeed return a new woman.

Will Carly ditch her old self and embrace a fresh start?!

*Title based off Taylor Swift’s iconic song, Look What You Made Me Do. The line, ”I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh! ’Cause she’s dead!” seemed to fit perfectly with Carly’s identity crisis. She’s ready to ditch the Corinthos name, leaving behind her old identity. The old Carly is dead and gone!

General Hospital Spoilers: Esme Fights Back Against Nikolas

Esme fights back

Esme fights back! It’s been a wild ride having Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) take her aggressions out on the people of Port Charles.

The Cassadine family is Esme’s main focus. Her dad, Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) won’t stop until he gets to Ava Jerome (Maura West). Ryan is using Esme to help with his dirty work.

General Hospital recaps recall things got out of hand after Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) slept with Esme. Ava Jerome didn’t take too well to learning her husband cheated with his son’s girlfriend. Ava and Esme’s physical altercation lead to the young woman’s disappearance. Esme was presumed dead and Nikolas took the wrap on camera.

Now that Esme has returned, Nikolas can’t risk her being seen. Locking her in an abandoned wing of Wyndemere was his only option. General Hospital spoilers reveal Esme fights back against her captor in a violent way. Nikolas is subject to Esme’s crazy ways of survival. She’ll do anything to survive, even if it means harming or killing someone standing in her way.

General Hospital rumors suggest Esme’s extreme measures temporarily knock Nikolas out, allowing her to break free from his captivity. 

GH previews indicate Esme gets the upper hand but will soon be stopped in her tracks. So many come and go through Wyndemere that someone is bound to cross paths with the Cassadine baby mama.

Ava Jerome and Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) would be as shocked as Nikolas to see Esme alive and well. The difference is Victor will want to keep her alive when he finds out she’s carrying a Cassadine heir, whereas Ava will be filled with fury, wishing she never returned.

Who will find Esme roaming around the Cassadine castle? Once Nikolas collects himself after being attacked by Esme, he’ll have to face Ava with the news. How will he break it to Ava that Esme is carrying his child?

Ethan Lovett returns

Ethan Lovett returns! General Hospital spoilers reveal, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) shocks Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and all of Port Charles when Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) finds her alive and creeping around the Quartermaine estate.

Holly’s loved ones believed her to be dead all thanks to Peter August (Wes Ramsey). Peter and Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) have a history of lying, scheming, manipulating, and stopping at nothing to get what they want. They have faked deaths as well as actually killed for no other reasons than a means to carry out their personal agendas.

Nathan Parsons last reprised his role as Luke Spencer (Tony Geary) and Holly Sutton’s son, Ethan, back in 2020. Parsons returned briefly for 3 episodes. GH fans had hoped for a longer run.

Ethan has ties to one of the most iconic families in Port Charles, and a former fan favorite love interest. Kristina Corinthos (Lexi Ainsworth) and Ethan were one of the hottest young couples. Fans named them, “Ethina,” as a way to show their support. Lexi Ainsworth has recently announced she’ll be sticking around Port Charles as Kristina. If Ethan Lovett returns to General Hospital, there’s a chance “Ethina” could give it another go.

Would you hope for Ethan to return upon the news of his mother’s shocking comeback from the grave?

Rory and Trina’s trip

General Hospital Spoilers: Rory and Trina’s trip After everything she’s been through, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) just wants to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Family and friends are all Trina needs. She isn’t looking for any drama or complications in any aspect of her life.

General Hospital recaps recall Trina and Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) conversation about Rory Cabrera (Michael Blake Kruse), his admission of feelings for her, and the invitation to go out of town, alone, together.

Trina worries that something horrible is going to happen while Ava passed it off as her fears stemming from what happened when she went to Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) cabin. Trina, along with friends Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), Cameron Webber (William Lipton), Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), and his troublesome girlfriend, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl), went on a getaway. The idea was all Esme’s, claiming to be a last hurrah before Spencer was sent off to Springridge.

The trip turned into a complete nightmare when Esme does what she does best. Trina was humiliated by Esme’s passive aggressive drinking game after being drugged and tricked into confessions about her feelings for Cam. And that’s not all. Esme also managed fo frame Trina for recording revenge porn on her own two besties. These events have fueled Trina’s fears and brought her to the tough decisions she has to make today.

General Hospital spoilers reveal, after talking with Ava, Trina accepts Rory’s invitation to go out of town together. She hopes to have a nice time with the guy she’s into and who seems to be head over heels for her. What she doesn’t predict is how dark if a turn Rory will take, leading her into a life and death situation. Rory and Trina’s trip will turn into her worst nightmare.

General Hospital Spoilers: They Say Distance Makes The Heart Grow Fonder But Cam And Joss Grow Apart

General Hospital Spoilers: Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Cameron Webber (William Lipton) are going lovers facing harsher than usual judgement for being a couple, while doing typical couple things.

Yes, when we mention “typical couple things,” we are referring to the fact that these two college students in love had sex for the first time. Unfortunately, as General Hospital recaps recall, Cam and Joss’s first time was exploited by none other than their frenemy, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl).

General Hospital spoilers reveal, Cameron’s expression of concern for his and Joss’s relationship solidified the bond he and Josslyn have. The cute factor was all the way up to 10 when Cameron and Josslyn both called one another their favorite person. But we can’t seem to shake the thought that Josslyn isn’t as invested in the relationship as Cameron. Maybe that unshakable thought stems from Josslyn’s attraction to Dex Heller (Evan Hofer).

General Hospital Spoilers Josslyn is drawn to Dex

General Hospital spoilers reveal, although these young lovers have been through more than most at their age, they are at risk of drifting apart. As they grow up and their interests change, it’s likely that the love they once felt as kids won’t cross over to young adulthood. Josslyn has bigger ideas. Like her mother, Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), Josslyn is headstrong and determined.

Right now, Josslyn is determined to stop Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) from corrupting Dex, while protecting him and others from Sonny’s dangerous life of crime and violence.

General Hospital rumors hint that Josslyn’s obsession with Sonny and Dex is about as heightened as Michael Corinthos’s (Chad Duell) one track mind on destroying his own father. Cameron and Michael agree on the fact that Josslyn shouldn’t be getting herself involved in Dex’s life choices. Cam’s opinion on Josslyn’s need to protect Dex is a sure fire way to push her away and into the arms of someone else… someone like, Dex?!
