General Hospital Weekly Recap for June 1-5, 2026

Sonny and Laura Enlist Pascal’s Help

Lucas identified Pascal as Marco’s killer to Detective Joe Fitzgerald. When Joe arrived at Wyndemere to question Pascal about Marco’s murder, Pascal fled.

Sonny intercepted Pascal when he got to his car. Laura and Lucas joined Sonny as they offered Pascal a deal: Flip on Sidwell and Sonny would fly him on his private jet anywhere in the world and give him $50k to start a new life elsewhere.

Pascal provided the combination to Sidwell’s safe and instructions about the envelope containing the photos and negatives. Lucas retrieved the evidence from the safe and brought it back to Sonny and Laura, who dropped Pascal’s reward to $40k since Lucas had to do the legwork.

Sonny and Laura burned the photos and negatives. Laura wanted to use her position as Mayor to continue pursuing Sidwell, while Sonny remained focused on just taking him out altogether.

Josslyn Remains Sidwell’s Prisoner

Josslyn tampered with the light, causing a power outage. She escaped her room and made it to the front door, only to find Sidwell waiting for her with a gun. Sidwell backed Josslyn into the living room and was going to deal with her himself, but Cassius intervened.

While Sidwell and Cassius argued over what to do with her, Josslyn removed her ring and used her foot to slide it under a couch. Cassius managed to save her life…this time. Later, Josslyn urged Cassius to turn against Sidwell and Cullum and accept protection from the WSB. Cassius refused but appeared conflicted after their conversation.

Tracy Accuses Chase of Cheating

Willow asked Chase to work with her in her congressional office as her chief of staff. Tracy overheard part of their conversation at the lake house and was convinced that Willow was pursuing him.

Tracy confronted Chase and accused him of cheating on Brook Lynn and tried to kick him out of the house. Chase called Brook Lynn to the lake house and insisted Tracy explain what she believed she had witnessed.

After hearing both sides, Brook Lynn admitted that she believed Willow might have feelings for Chase but also believed Chase when he said he didn’t and wouldn’t cheat on her. 

Chase revealed that Willow had offered him a position as her chief of staff and was considering it. Brook Lynn later told Michael about her concerns regarding Willow. 

Tracy also shared her suspicions with Michael, who agreed that something was happening between Willow and Chase but asked Tracy to let it unfold on its own. Brook Lynn eventually met with Lucy and told her that Willow was after her husband. Lucy promised to help.

Alexis Learns Phoebe’s Father Is Ethan

Alexis summoned Ethan to her office and asked if he was Phoebe’s biological father. Ethan admitted that Delilah had told him she was pregnant. He explained that he learned Phoebe was the child involved only after meeting her through Brook Lynn and Chase.

Ethan wanted his identity kept secret and proposed a closed adoption. Alexis later informed Brook Lynn and Chase that Phoebe’s father had been located and supported the adoption.

Ethan went to Ava and asked her to keep Phoebe’s paternity a secret. Ava eventually agreed but said her silence would come at a price.

Nina Learns Carly’s Secret

After having his life threatened by Cullum, Brennan revealed to Nina that Carly was hiding Valentin (and sleeping with him). He asked her to go to Valentin and give him a message: “Ex Machina.” Nina completed her mission, causing Valentin to dress as a nurse and go see Jack.

At Turning Woods, Jack directed Carly and Valentin to Wyndemere as they searched for information about Josslyn’s disappearance.

Cullum Targets Liesl

Cullum continued focusing on the project while searching for a replacement for Britt, while Sidwell told him his focus was punishing the man who killed his son.

Liesl was with Drew all of ten seconds when she knew he was signaling SOS. She warned Nina and Willow about Drew’s behavior and later warned Nina that Willow was too involved in her ex’s life and she needed to do something about it.

Later again, Liesl searched Britt’s office for clues about her whereabouts. As Liesl got into her car outside the hospital, Cullum appeared in the backseat and covered her mouth.

What To Watch

Lucas takes another risk at Wyndemere, Josslyn remains trapped but her time might be up when she gets a roommate, and Brook Lynn becomes increasingly suspicious of Willow’s intentions toward Chase.
