General Hospital Recap, May 9: Sonny's ready to sell to Sidwell

Here is your General Hospital recap for Friday, May 9, 2025.

What to expect on General Hospital

Sasha was surprised to see that Willow was her nurse again at her doctor's appointment. Willow tried to remain professional and wouldn't even look at Sasha, who told her she'd prefer another nurse. "Sasha, I am the mother of Michael's two children, and you are about to have Jason's child. That makes us family. We can either continue to hate each other or accept that we are going to be in each other's lives," Willow said.

Sasha accused Willow of using her children to make amends. Willow claimed she just wanted to start over. Sasha then asked Willow what she was doing to keep Michael in her kids' lives. Willow broke down and told her that she flew to Germany, but Michael refused to see her.

"Well, you definitely paid him back for that," Sasha said, referring to Drew's press conference. She was sure that Michael had to have seen it. She couldn't believe that Willow would stand by Drew's side after he did body shots off a strange woman. "What is wrong with you, Willow? You should have more self-respect than that," Sasha pointed out.

"Drew was drugged," Willow plainly stated. Sasha just scoffed. "Only you believe that and you believe it because you have to," Sasha said, before dropping a truth bomb on Willow that many cult members need to hear about making mistakes.

"You threw your life away for Drew. If you had to admit to yourself that you chose the wrong guy for the wrong reasons, you'd probably fall into a thousand pieces," Sasha said.

In the Q kitchen, Jason asked Dante if he was actually threatening to charge Danny with manslaughter. "No, I'm trying to make you see that what happened last night could have ruined his life, all because you're not paying attention to him," Dante said.

Jason was surprised to hear Dante say that he now understood why Sam didn't want him spending time with Danny. "You want to be his friend. He's got enough friends. He doesn't need you to be one, too. He needs a father," Dante said. Lois walked in and asked what was going on. "I was just telling Jason what I think of him as a father, which isn't much," Dante added.

Once Lois and Jason were alone in the kitchen, Lois could see how much Dante's words hurt Jason. She tried to explain Dante's point of view. "I was with Dante when he got the call that Rocco was in the hospital. It was like watching a building fall on someone," she said. "Dante almost lost his son so he is just throwing blame everywhere. He even attacked Gio when Gio was just trying to help," she added.

Jason remained pensive. "I am not sure he's wrong about me. I missed a lot of Danny's childhood. For all kinds of reasons. The bottom line is I wasn't there and Dante was and he still is. Danny was able to sneak off to that party with Rocco because I was off with Sonny. Dante was right. I let my son down," Jason admitted.

Lois encouraged Jason not to let what Dante said get to him. Jason was surprised when Lois told him that Rocco looked up to Danny and that Danny would lead Rocco around. "Listen, Jason, you give Danny a lot of love and a lot of latitude. Danny knows he can count on you. Jason, you're a really great dad," Lois said.

Jason thought about what she said before declaring, "Danny needs to be my priority. In order to do that, I need to make some changes."

As Jason stood alone in the kitchen thinking, Sasha appeared and told Jason that Willow had gone to Germany. She was to hear that Jason had told her to go. Jason was even more shocked to hear that Michael refused to see her.

A nervous Brook Lynn stood outside Alexis' office with an excited Chase waiting to consult about adopting a child. When they finally sat down with Alexis, the lawyer explained that adoptions can be quite complicated. Brook Lynn worried that giving up a baby for adoption could disqualify them. Brook Lynn and Chase were relieved to know that wouldn't be a problem.

Brook Lynn told Alexis that they were leaning toward a closed adoption. Alexis warned the couple that the process could take a while and be emotionally painful, but Brook Lynn and Chase were ready.

Lulu questioned a mystery person on the phone about the history of L&B Records and where Lois might have been touring when Brook Lynn had her baby. When she hung up, she opened the door to Danny, looking for Rocco. "First, we need to get a few things straight before you can see my son," Lulu told the teen.

Danny told Lulu that it was his idea to go to the party. He explained everything that happened, which matched Rocco's version of events. "I knew he felt bad about going, and I should have paid closer attention. I was a really, really bad brother to Rocco," Danny admitted.

Lulu called for Rocco, who came downstairs with a bucket and cleaning supplies. "How sorry are you?" Lulu asked. "Cause Rocco is cleaning the whole house and can really use some help." She walked the teens onto the front porch and put them to work.

Danny apologized to Rocco for what happened, but Rocco took full responsibility. "You didn't make me drink that punch or do all those shots. That was all me," he said. When Lulu left for the day, she gave them a list of things to clean and made sure that they wouldn't wander off somewhere before she got back.

As they scrubbed the living room floor, Dante walked in and heard the boys talking about earning back their parents' trust. Rocco sent Danny to the kitchen for more soap before asking his dad not to be so hard on Danny. "You're blaming everyone but me. I'm not a little kid. Nobody poured that alcohol down my throat. I did it to myself," Rocco admitted.

When Danny returned, Dante reminded the boys that they were brothers. "When you do stupid stuff with your brother, you suffer the consequences with your brother," Dante said before making sure the boys got back to work. Lois soon stopped by. She and Dante apologized to one another for the animosity from earlier in the week.

In his living room, Sonny listened to what Sidwell had to say. Sonny was surprised to learn that Jordan was now working for Sidwell. When Sidwell said he wanted to make an advantageous deal, Sonny wondered why Sidwell would want to help him.

Sidwell correctly pointed out that the referendum vote has now become a referendum on Sonny. Jordan and Sidwell tried to convince Sonny not to fight the referendum, for Laura's sake. Sidwell then laid it on the line. "Circumvent the democratic process and make a fortune while you're at it. Sell your piers to me," he said.

As Sidwell made his case, Sonny began having chest pain. He quickly recovered and asked Sidwell to wrap things up. "I pay you substantially above market value for the piers, and you get to escape this whole political mess," Sidwell offered.

Sidwell's next stop was Alexis' office, where he wanted her to draw up papers for a real estate sale. As for Sonny, he threw Jason for a loop when he told him he was seriously considering Sidwell's offer.

Curtis sat down with Tracy at the Metro Court to talk about her meeting with Sidwell, Drew, and Jordan. "I am guessing it had something to do with taking down Sonny Corinthos. What I want to know is why you want to take Laura down, too," Curtis wondered.

Before Tracy could say much, Ned sat down with them and listened to his mother rant. "Sonny Corinthos has been a blight on this town and our family, as every Quartermaine can attest," Tracy said. Ned agreed, but didn't think his mother should be teaming up with Drew.

Curtis pointed out that Tracy could be opening the door to Sidwell being just as much of a town menace as Sonny, if not more so. "Think what you want about Sonny, but what you see is what you get," Curtis said.

When Curtis walked away, Ned only wanted positive thoughts. "Like the fact that Brook Lynn and Chase are meeting with Alexis today to discuss adopting a child," Ned proudly said, to which Tracy replied, "Alexis?"

Tracy then asked Ned how he felt about becoming a grandfather, so he asked her how she felt when she learned she would be a grandmother. "Oh, I was sure I was going to hate it. And I do," Tracy deadpanned.

One-track-mind Tracy turned the subject back to bringing down Sonny. "Why don't you stand up to Lois and Brook Lynn and Olivia as they all gather together to worship at the altar of Sonny?" she asked. Tracy wanted former mayor Ned to endorse Sonny losing his piers. However, she got a call from Lucy and walked away.

Ned met with Lulu next. She wanted Ned to endorse Laura's position, as well as her candidacy for re-election. "I had already planned to vote a split ticket. Yes for your mother, no for Sonny," Ned said.

Lulu made some small talk and casually brought up Ned's musical career with Eddie Maine and the Idle Rich. She asked about his touring schedule with L&B Records. Ned mentioned how Lois took Brook Lynn on tour with her when Lois was traveling with Miguel Morez.

In her office, Portia tried to reason with Drew, telling him Curtis would never turn his back on his buddy Laura. Drew said he was running out of patience. "Step up your game. I don't care how you do it, but you need to get Curtis to use Aurora Media to drive Sonny Corinthos out of Port Charles," Drew demanded.

Drew tried to make himself sound altruistic. He was just trying to rid Port Charles of a dangerous criminal. Surely, Portia would want to help with that. Portia said she was doing the best she could with Curtis. "Oh, Portia, we've barely scratched the surface with what you can do," Drew said menacingly before walking out.

When Curtis arrived at GH, Willow spotted him to make sure that Aurora would print the facts — that Drew was drugged. Curtis said they would print that ketamine was in Drew's system, "but all we have is Drew's word that he didn't take it voluntarily."

Willow then saw Drew and ran into his arms. She was taken aback when she felt something in his jacket pocket. He removed the envelope Brad gave him and claimed the vial inside was a vitamin regimen to get his immune system back on track.
