This Friday, General Hospital cranks up the tension.

Carly Spencer steps into Anna Devane’s orbit with advice that cuts deeper than it sounds — she warns Anna about rushing to judgment, insisting that suspicion and truth aren’t always aligned.

Anna, already piecing together the Drew shooting puzzle, listens but knows deception lurks behind every smile.

Carly’s words might hold wisdom or deflection — and either way, they ratchet up the stakes.

Meanwhile, danger crashes through Alexis Davis’s front door.

Ric Lansing, loose and lethal, corners her with a dagger, turning what was once a moment of conversation into one of survival.

Just when the blade seems poised to decide fate, Ava Jerome crashes in, intervening to stop Ric’s attack.

Her timely heroism not only saves Alexis but also sends a message: in Port Charles, loyalty and guts can still rewrite a scene in real time.

While Carly navigates political minefields, and Alexis fights for her life, the winds of power shift elsewhere — alliances move, loyalties strain, and new catalysts emerge. As the dust settles, one truth becomes clearer than ever: an explosive Friday in Port Charles can change everything by nightfall.
