General Hospital Recaps: Charlotte Came Home… as Did Valentin!

   

A lot can happen in a day in Port Charles, so it can be easy to get lost. If you missed anything that happened over the week of Feb. 17, 2025, our General Hospital weekly recaps will help get you back up to speed in no time!

Jason and Anna arrived in Buenos Aires and moved quickly to intercept a WSB kill squad. Valentin revealed he’d texted Rocco and asked Anna and Jason to take Charlotte home. Anna urged Valentin to let her take him in and strike a deal but Valentin admitted he’d tried to kill Brennan so the WSB would never let him live. Back at the hotel, Charlotte blamed Anna for ruining their lives but Jason revealed that Anna had actually helped them escape in the first place and has been protecting them. On the plane home, Anna called Brennan to bring Lulu to the airport and explained to Jason that someone else at the WSB wants Valentin dead as Jack wouldn’t let anything happen to Charlotte because Carly would never forgive him. At the airstrip, Lulu and Charlotte were overjoyed to finally be reunited. Charlotte was happy to be back home with her family but missed her father, who had helped keep her safe. Off Maxie’s urging not to give up on Brennan so easily, Carly threw herself at Jack and they made love. But they didn’t know that Valentin was just outside!

Curtis Hit Drew Where It Hurts!

Tracy was visiting the family crypt when Martin and Drew arrived to declare the building had been seized by the state for being on public land. Gio and Emma appeared and she began filming the argument on her phone, wondering why the congressman was attacking his constituents instead of actually being in Congress working for them. When Tracy physically stopped the surveyor from surveying, Martin told Chase to arrest her. Portia tried to get Curtis to make peace with Drew, but Jordan told them about the crypt and Curtis agreed to do a story on Drew’s abuse of power. Laura convinced Drew to drop the charges but he insisted this wasn’t over yet. Laura congratulated Curtis on the hit piece, but Alexis was worried it would hurt Scout. Willow assured Drew she didn’t believe a word of the article, even when Carly insisted it was all true. Ric warned Portia she could face criminal charges for tampering with evidence and urged her to follow Drew’s orders. So when Drew ordered Portia to make Curtis run a series of positive articles, she suggested they do a joint press conference so he’d have no choice, and Curtis reluctantly had to agree to it. Carly told Nina they had to open Willow’s eyes to Drew and make sure that damning evidence against him was found in his house even if they had to put it there themselves.

Brook Lynn Learned About Her Son!

When Dante admitted he was struggling to talk to Lulu, Maxie suddenly revealed that Lulu was still in love with him and had dumped Dustin before falling into the coma. Lulu confronted Brook Lynn and told her she had to tell Dante he has a son. Brook Lynn insisted she gave up her baby so they could have a better life and it was their call if they wanted to find their birth parents. The argument got heated but eventually, she convinced Lulu not to say anything. Brook Lynn asked her mother what she knew about her baby but Gloria interrupted and claimed she’d told Lois to talk to Martin. Brook Lynn realized her grandmother knew where her son is, so Gloria confirmed and claimed Lois knew nothing. But alone, Gloria warned Lois she couldn’t tell Brook Lynn the truth or everyone’s lives would be ruined. Brook Lynn went to get some air and sat with Gio guarding the crypt where they bonded. Lulu went to see Maxie but found Dante there babysitting Bailey Lou. She said she had something to tell him but then backpedaled. After playing bingo with Gio, Brook Lynn was still angry with Gloria, who later noted to Lois that if she was this upset now, imagine how she’d feel if she found out they knew who the baby was.

Sonny Confessed to Kristina

After speaking with a new writer for Crimson, Nina met with Ava and agreed to give her a loan to help offset her money troubles. Learning she couldn’t take Avery to the ballet because it was on Ava’s night with her daughter, Kristina was even more upset when Ava declared she’d be taking her and Ric had to stop their argument from getting out of hand. Kristina was surprised to visit her father and find him with Dr. Gannon. She pressed him for the truth and Sonny confessed he was having heart trouble and had to reduce stress, which made her realize that’s why he compromised with Ava about Avery’s custody.

Sasha turned down Carly’s job offer to stay at the Quartermaines, explaining that she now had some money to feel more comfortable. Carly urged her to let Jason help if she needed it. At the hospital for a checkup, Sasha again clashed with Willow, .
