General Hospital Recap: A Vast Port Charles Conspiracy

The General Hospital recap for Monday, October 4 features a trio of frazzled conspirators,  a marriage on the rocks, a scheme revealed, and a very interesting development in the Nina/Valentin reunion.

General Hospital Recap Highlights

Hayden (Rebecca Budig) and Jax (Ingo Rademacher) were furious at Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) for not only returning to Port Charles but allowing Ava (Maura West) to see his face. At least Laura (Genie Francis) and Julian (William deVry) were able to convince her that she was losing it and got her to enter Shadybrook.

Nikolas informed his conspirators that they could call it quits at any time. However, Jax would not get control of the Cassadine shipping fleet, Hayden could kiss her promised cash payment goodbye, and Spencer would remain fatherless and penniless. Let’s not forget that Hayden is a sucker for that kid and Jax claimed him as his own for the first four months of his life.

Julian’s Plot

Carly (Laura Wright) did her utmost to eavesdrop on the argument her brother and his husband were engaged in outside on her terrace. Lucas (Ryan Carnes) insisted that Brad was cheating on him with the mystery sexter, which Brad (Parry Shen) vehemently denied.

When the accused messaged the sender back it went to Julian’s phone who continued to keep up the charade that Brad was indulging in some extramarital hanky panky. Lucas insisted that Brad leave and accepted Carly’s offer to spend the night. Brad sought solace at Charlie’s but Julian informed him of the scam and not-so-subtly threatened him to leave town.

The Eyes Have It

Having learned that Nina (Cynthia Watros) had dropped all charges against Sasha, Liesl (Kathleen Gati) hoped that her niece’s charity would extend to her so she tracked her down and begged forgiveness.

Nina, of course, accepted than excused herself to ostensibly go and fix her tear-streaked face. But instead, she hoovered inside a doorway and spied on Liesl and Valentin’s (James Patrick Stuart) subsequent conversation.

Might the formerly crazed fetus snatching Miss Reeves be plotting to wreak some havoc on her unsuspecting and would-be groom? General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
