General Hospital Recaps: Hostages, Poison, and Surprises

The General Hospital recaps for April 5-9, 2021, features Brook Lynn getting on by the skin of her teeth, Peter’s ways catching up with him, and so much more.

General Hospital Recaps Highlight

After collapsing onto her stomach, and being rushed to GH by a concerned Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) had to think fast. How would she be able to explain the fact that she’s not actually pregnant, and that her baby bump is nothing more than padding?

After noticing Maxie (Kirsten Storms) in the cubicle next to hers, Brook Lynn purloined her sonogram and convincingly passed it off as her own…though Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) remained dubious of the whole situation.

Bottoms Up

Finn (Michael Easton), Jackie (Kim Delaney), Chase (Josh Swickard), and Gregory (Gregory Harrison) agree to come together as a family – and much to their surprise, the evening proceeds without incident. Or so they are led to believe.

In actuality, a poisoned cup of coffee intended for Finn – courtesy of Peter (Wes Ramsey) – wound up being consumed by one of the foursome after they indulged in a game of “drinks roulette.”

Drastic Times…

Growing concerns over Peter and his unpredictability forced Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin into taking drastic action. To that end, they lured him over to Anna’s abode, then took him, hostage, at gunpoint.

Parent Trap

After being warned of Cyrus’ (Jeff Kober) intentions for Laura (Genie Francis), Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) confronted his villainous uncle and wound up being conscripted into the ongoing hunt for Florence.

The prize available to Nikolas should he locate her, is provided safety for an imprisoned Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); should he come up empty-handed, he’ll be responsible for any tragedy that befalls Alexis.

Kiss Off

Sasha’s (Sofia Mattsson) accidental interruption of a near kiss between Michael (Chad Duell) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) resulted in her and Michael agreeing to part company…at least as potential lovers. Perhaps a friendship can be salvaged.

Bits and Pieces

Ava (Maura West) was gifted yet another macabre item, this time a mannequin hand similar to the prosthetic sported by Ryan (Jon Lindstrom). General Hospital (GH) airs weekdays on ABC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
