General Hospital Spoilers: Musical Magic With Nurses Ball Madness

The General Hospital spoilers for May 25-29, 2020 reveal a special week dedicated to episodes featuring the Nurses Ball that originally aired in 2014 and 2015.

General Hospital Spoilers Highlights

Aside from its much-bemoaned absence between 2001 and 2013, General Hospital’s Nurses Ball has been an annual tradition chock full of fun, frivolity, and life-saving facts.

It began in 1994 in order to raise much-needed funds for the institution’s AIDS Pediatric Unit, as well as its AIDS Outreach Programs. Since that time, it has been manned by Lucy Coe (though there’s usually somebody else who elbows their way into co-hosting… or at the very least, stealing the spotlight) and scheduled to coincide with the real-world’s Day Of Compassion.

And now that GH has exhausted its supply of original episodes, ABC is filling the soap’s timeslot with “Flashback Episodes” that take a look back at some of the most recent Nurses Ball offerings.

Getting The Party Started

On Monday, viewers will be transported back to May 8, 2014, where they will get to witness Port Charles’s finest walk, or in Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) case trip, down the red carpet guiding them to that year’s Nurses Ball.

The opening number – which is supposed to feature the specially-penned Welcome to the Burses Ball – is usurped by Liesl, who insists on performing her version of Willkommen from Cabaret.

It’s an inauspicious start to a program that, later in the week, will see Luke (or was that Fluke Spencer’s alternate personality) croon I Am What I Am and then propose to Tracy (Jane Elliot) – whom he’ll then re-marry right on the spot. Good thing that Lucy, the city’s go-to marriage officiant, is on hand.

The 2015 GH Nurses Ball

The episodes airing on Thursday and Friday will jump ahead one year to the 11th Nurses Ball. Among the many performances being shown is “Eddie Maine’s” (Wally Kurth) take on a Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Damien Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) belting out It Might Be You, and yet another interruption by Liesl – this time singing 99 Red Balloons.

Expect drama aplenty from these two shows. Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) puts a hit out on Jordan (Vinessa Antoine),  the truth about Ric (Rick Hearst) and Hayden’s (Rebecca Budig) relationship is revealed, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) learns that “Jake Doe” was Jason (though he actually wasn’t). General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
