General Hospital Recap April 23

At the hospital, Jordan wanted Portia to be real. “I don’t like you. You don’t like me. We’re never going to be friends. But my sympathy is not phony,” Portia told her. She said that she needed to heal, and it didn’t make her weak to get help.

Portia understood that Jordan wouldn’t want her to help, but suggested she lean on Curtis.

By the nurses’ station, Curtis told Isaiah not to be there for Jordan. They started arguing when Curtis said that Jordan wanted her privacy.

Isaiah wanted to know whether Jordan had requested this and scolded Curtis for trying to control who saw her and who didn’t. Curtis said to respect her wishes and reminded him that he’d heard her tell him to get out.

Gio’s Surprise For Emma

Gio met Emma at Bad Jen Cafe and told her they were going to New York City. He said he’d filled in one time for the violinist in the pit, and he got to know Broadway star Michael James Scott, who plays Genie in Aladdin.

Michael invited him to see him perform and get a backstage tour. Gio wanted Emma to go with him. “When do we leave?” she enthused.

Curtis Focuses on Jordan

Curtis tracked down Jordan at the Atrium and said he knew she wanted to be alone, but just wanted her to know that she was special to him and to let him know if there was anything she needed.

“I need one thing,” she admitted. “I need you. Please stay?” she asked as she took his hand. Curtis sat with Jordan and told her that her scars would heal, but she wasn’t so sure and was impatient.

Jordan cried that she felt damaged, and if the scars got worse or didn’t go away, she’d understand if his feelings for her changed. Curtis told her the worst thing was worrying that he couldn’t get her out of the car in time. He promised his feelings couldn’t change and held her as she cried.

Isaiah and Portia Focus On Themselves

Isaiah and Portia took a break to talk about Jordan and Curtis and how they understood what they were feeling and going through. They agreed to respect their needs by giving them space.

Isaiah asked Portia to come back to the cabin with him that night so he could show her how much he could focus on her.

Portia thought it was a good idea, but hoped his private patient that he made a house call to wouldn’t need him again. Isaiah assured her that the patient was well on the mend.

Rocco Tells Britt Everything

In the chapel, Rocco told Britt that he’d followed her to the pier that night to make sure she was okay. “You were there because of me? Britt gasped.

Rocco told her the whole story and everything he’d witnessed. He said she would’ve been dead if Jason hadn’t shown up.

Rocco described how he’d shot Cullum and assured her that he didn’t see him or know he was there. He said that was how he’d hurt his hand, by holding the gun wrong, pulling back the sterile glove he was wearing on his right hand to protect his bandage.

Britt realized that was why Jason was holding the gun when she came to, and why he told her to say he shot Cullum. “He was protecting you,” she cried.

Britt Protects Rocco

Rocco wanted to report Cullum, but Britt said he was above the law, and if he found out that Rocco shot him, they’d be dead.

Britt told Rocco he could never tell anyone what happened and if anything happened to him, she couldn’t handle it. She assured Rocco that Cullum wouldn’t hurt her as long as she was useful and knew what she had to do to protect them both. 

Britt made sure Rocco had a way home and then called to Wyndermere and said she’d be coming tonight to work in the lab.

Josslyn’s Fishing Expedition

At Bobbie’s, Josslyn was distracted thinking about Nathan walking out of Cullum’s room when she accidentally knocked over the cutlery holder to the floor. Lulu had just walked in and rushed to help her.

Josslyn said she was sore from trying to impress Nathan at the gym. As she told the story, she said that she’d made things awkward by asking him about Cesar Faison.

Lulu gave her insight about his family, saying that Britt was the issue. She said she didn’t have a problem with Britt and Nathan having a relationship, bit was Britt and Rocco that disturbed her.

Lulu and Josslyn talked about Nathan and Britt and their family as Josslyn fished for information and Lulu didn’t notice.

An Update On The Crash

Nathan came to see Dante and said he had a lead on the other vehicle involved in Jordan’s accident. He’d found fresh paint scrapes on the guard rail but had taken samples for forensic analysis.

While they waited, they discussed Marco’s death and why the killer would have taken his phone. They deduced that Marco knew the person.

Forensics called with their results, and Dante immediately called Curtis. He let him know that the other car’s paint matched a black, German-made car.

When Curtis hung up, he said to himself, “Isaiah drives a black, German-made car.”
