General Hospital spoilers for Feb 16-20, 2026 have Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) shocked and Jason Morgan exiting as Steve Burton leaves for a bit.
As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then we go into what is happening next week.
Jason Morgan’s Warnings and Danny Morgan Drama on GH
On Wednesday, February 11th, we have Jason issuing a warning to someone. It looks like it might be Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn). Jason says he thought that they were working together.
I wonder if this is about Danny being patient to wait and see Scout (Cosette Abinante), or if it’s more about Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke). I don’t know if you guys noticed, but GH is trying really hard to minimize the fact that there is DNA shared by Danny and Charlotte They are second cousins.
By the way, 45 out of our 50 states do allow second cousins to get married. Still, the overwhelming sentiment I’m seeing out of the fandom is that it’s ew.
General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Corinthos’ Apology and Lucas Jones’ Shock
We have Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) stunned on Wednesday. I think it is because Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) has showed up wanting to apologize. Lucas wants to know why Carly has had this sudden change of heart. As we know, she has not. She is doing this to help out Valentine Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). We’ll see how sincere she can be. I mean, she’s been faking it with Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), so I guess she can fake it with Lucas.
GH Spoilers: Cold Fusion Schemes and Jack Brennan’s Secrets
Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) tells Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) that somebody may be a problem for them. I think they’re talking about Carly. That assumption might be because they both know she is dating Jack. Jack, of course, has no idea that his boss, Cullum, is conspiring with them on the cold fusion research. So, it’s going to get messy soon.
Charlotte Cassadine’s Dilemma and Sonny Corinthos’ Advice on General Hospital
Charlotte has some thinking to do. It may be about getting to see her dad, Valentin. Maybe it’s about getting to kiss her cousin Danny again. Plus, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) offers some advice. I believe it is to Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) about Sidwell. You know, Lucy’s super jealous. She came over and told Sonny that she wants to see him take Sidwell down. Sonny’s going to give Lucy Coe an answer to her request to go after Sidwell. It sounds like he’s going to refuse.
Sonny can’t go directly at Sidwell because of the whole dead Dalton blackmail photos thing. But Sonny may encourage Lucy to go fight for her man. You know, don’t let Ava Jerome (Maura West) get away with this. Sonny was trying to stir the pot when Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) came back with that information of pitting Lucy Coe and Ava against each other. It looks like it’s working.
GH Spoliers: Trina Robinson’s Questions and Portia Robinson’s DNA Bombshell
Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) wants some answers from Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). It might be about where exactly Joss was during the big Port Charles blizzard of 2026. Of course, she was hanging out with Cullum out at Wyndemere, just having a very uncomfortable conversation.
Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) tells Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) it’s time to learn the truth and face the consequences. So, I’m assuming Portia Robinson is going to test the baby’s DNA. Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) also tells Jordan that he might have made a tactical error and it may come back to bite him. I think that’s about Portia and pushing for the DNA test.
Curtis Ashford’s Mistake and Alexis Davis’ Legal Advice on GH
What was crazy about that whole thing is when Curtis Ashford went to see Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and was talking about getting a court order to force Portia to have the DNA test.
Alexis advised Curtis not to go that route. Curtis basically went ahead and went that route anyway and was making threats. Yeah, he wasn’t listening. He got good advice and ignored it. Now it’s biting him.
Maxie Jones Awakens: Her General Hospital Return
Thursday, February 12th. Maxie Jones is awake. Kirsten Storms is back in her first General Hospital episode in months. There are a bunch of shockers coming her way, but not all of it is going to happen at once. I’m sure Maxie is going to wake up slowly and want to know what’s going on.
She will want to see James West (Gary James Fuller) and want to see Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), all that. Portia shares some big news. It looks like she might have the DNA test results. Of course, if Portia Robinson says that Isaiah is the dad, we know Curtis won’t believe it. I wouldn’t believe it if it came from Portia either. We all know she doesn’t have the best track record.
Nathan Goes Looking for Lulu on GH
Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) gets a visit from Nathan West (Ryan Paevey). After Lulu talked to Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) and Nathan talked to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), they both got good advice and a good perspective.
I think Nathan West is going to tell Lulu Spencer that he doesn’t see a reason why they shouldn’t see each other. Curtis talks to Jordan about the future. We’ll find out if they have a baby in that future thanks to his canoodling with Portia or if it’s off the table. Again, I don’t think Curtis is going to buy the initial test results.
Brook Lynn Gives Advice and Emma Devane’s Crisis
Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has some advice for Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza ( on Thursday. I’m sure it’s about Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) leaving town because of this Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) crisis. I think she’s going to be a good mom and be very supportive.
Valentine’s Surprises, Michael Corinthos Plans Big Date on General Hospital
Friday, February 13th. Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) is in for a big surprise because Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is arranging a Valentine’s Day date for them. It looks like Valentine’s hits Port Charles on Friday. Lucas opens up to Liz Webber (Rebecca Herbst).
It may be about Carly showing up with this unexpected apology. Spinelli and Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) make a decision on something. I’m sure it’s about Maxie Jones. It may be about when they’re going to bring her home to Port Charles or if she’s going to stay in Boston a little longer.
Nathan West Stuns Britt and Brooklyn Stands Up to Chase on GH
Plus, Nathan stuns Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). He may tell her about his feelings for Lulu Spencer. We also are going to see Brook Lynn giving someone a piece of their mind. I think it may be Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) she flips out on.
Chase is very intent on making sure Michael goes down for Drew Cain Quartermaine’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting. We all saw Chase looking at Michael’s keys, stealing them, and going to test them. Now he knows that there is a house key to Drew’s place on Michael’s key ring.
GH Sweeps Week: Jason Morgan Exit, Anna Devane Trouble
The week of February 16th through the 20th is our last full week of February sweeps. The following week we have like three episodes of sweeps, and then it’s done on the 25th.
We’re going to see Steve Burton exiting as Jason He’s going to be gone for a couple of months. He just taped his last episode. We’ll see him on air for the next four to six weeks roughly. A reliable insider told us that he is aiming for a late May, maybe an early June return to filming.
That would put him back on air probably in time for July sweeps. The excuse may be that Jason Morgan needs to go try and help Anna Devane. That could be the cover for it, but I’m wondering how that’s going to be explained given what’s going on with him and Britt.
Valentin Cassadine, Carly Corinthos, Maxie Jones and More GH Spoilers
Valentin and Carly’s friendship deepens. Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) may tattle on Chase since he saw him with Michael’s keys. Anna remains in a dark place. Michael wants something real with Jacinda, but the DA filing charges on him might make things hard.
Sonny, of course, is determined to keep Michael out of prison. Maxie’s family is ecstatic. She’s awake, especially James West. They are not going to be able to keep Nathan’s return from Maxie long because James would absolutely blab it.
Cullum is a real danger to Joss which is what Jack was afraid of. Nathan and Lulu are torn. It looks like they decided to see each other, and now Maxie wakes up, which is more confusing.
Jason keeps trying to figure out a way to get a vial of Britt Westbourne’s meds so he can have Brick (Stephen A. Smith) reverse engineer it. Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) continues to drug and torment Drew. And Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has to decide if he will take the police commissioner job at the PCPD.
