General Hospital early weekly spoilers for February 23rd through the 27th expect Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is dragged in and Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) is really confused about what’s going on in her personal life next week.
As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we’ll dive into what is ahead next week.
General Hospital Spoilers: Michael’s Key Ring and the PCPD Investigation
On Wednesday, February 18th on GH, we have Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) needing to check out Michael’s keys that he handed over to Nathan when he served the warrant. Michael handed them over without even looking.
That’s actually a positive sign because if he was guilty, you’d think he would take the key off. But we know that Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) knows that Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) hands were on it. I wonder if his prints are on the key since he was handling it.
Plus, Nathan is back at the PCPD and sharing his feelings with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). This is on the topic of Maxie. Nathan tells Dante that he has no idea what’s going to happen when he and Maxie are face to face.
I’m sure Nathan’s going to hold back on the fact he’s crushing on Dante’s ex-wife, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening). We have seen Maxie in shock and Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) worried, but maybe Nathan and Maxie won’t have a spark at first-glance reunion. Or maybe they will.
GH Spoilers: Spinelli’s Jealousy and Cody’s Lessons in Privacy
Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) offers some advice to Spinelli, and he’s telling Brook Lynn that how he handles what happens could change his life. The bottom line is Spinelli cannot act jealous. That’s a problem.
He really can’t do more than be there for Maxie and hope for the best. If he’s pushy or interfering or accusatory, Spinelli could lose her anyway.
Plus, Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) encourages Cody Bell (Josh Kelly), and he’s telling Kristina there’s a steep price for violating Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) privacy. I wonder if he’s talking about the price he paid since he seemed to pay, but Kristina really didn’t.
Maybe he finished reading that Jane Austen novel. Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) told him to finish the whole thing and maybe he’ll be a little more considerate about what Molly wrote. I’m sure there’s a character arc in the book.
Lulu’s Secret Feelings and Willow’s Shocking News on General Hospital
Lulu has another confession to make to her mom, Laura Spencer (Genie Francis), who asks immediately to Lulu if this is about Maxie. I’m sure Lulu is feeling guilty over the Nathan thing, but still attracted to him nevertheless.
Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) reveals shocking news to her mom, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). It’s likely that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) thinks Willow should take over for Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) in Washington. She seemed unsure talking to him, but Nina may actively encourage it.
Nina tells Willow that she has a secret weapon. I don’t know if that’s having a rich mom or sympathy because she has a paralyzed, locked-in husband. And I don’t think Drew is going to like this. I don’t think Michael is going to like it. Additionally, Molly tells somebody they’re perfect for the job. This is Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) about the congresswoman position, I’m sure.
Thursday GH Spoilers: Michael on the Hot Seat and the Frame Job Revealed
Then, on Thursday, February 19th, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) says something shocking. This may be when he’s down at the PCPD with Michael. There was the warrant Nathan served and the key that Chase planted.
Ric may be down at the cop shop with his client slash nephew because Michael is put on the spot, sitting in the hot seat on Thursday. I’m guessing it’ll be easy for the PCPD to go check and see if that is Drew’s house key on Michael’s key ring.
Michael may suspect that Chase framed him since he just confronted Michael and directly accused him of the shooting and has the most access to Michael. We all know Willow Tait put that there, and then Chase just discovered it.
Maxie’s Welcome Home Party and Willow’s Misery-Style Strategy on General Hospital
Spinelli welcomes Maxie home. She’s been released from the Boston long-term care facility and is back home in Port Chuck. Georgie Spinelli (Lily Fisher) and James West (Gary James Fuller) are on hand, and I’m sure lots more friends and family will be at Maxie’s welcome home party, but it could be awkward.
I’m betting that Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) is not going to let Nathan skip it, even though he mentioned that she’s ready to shove Spinelli off a bridge to clear a path for Nathan to reunite with Maxie.
Plus, Willow shares big news with Drew Cain Quartermaine. I think Willow may tell him that Sidwell wants her to take over his seat in Congress. I think Drew will be appalled, not that he can say a word about it.
Willow may also tell Drew she quit her job at General Hospital so she can focus on taking care of him. He should be terrified. It’s like that movie Misery, except that Willow is not Drew’s number one fan at all. She’s so much worse.
Alexis Davis makes a keen observation on Thursday. This could be about Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) and Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke), or it could be about Willow considering taking Drew’s seat because we know Laura wants Alexis to have the seat.
General Hospital Special Tribute: Honoring Luke Spencer and Tony Geary
On Friday, February 20th, we have a very, very special episode honoring the decades of Luke Spencer on General Hospital and, of course, the iconic Tony Geary who played the role. Grab your tissues. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
GH February Sweeps Finale: Carly’s Investigation and Michael’s Defense
The week of February 23rd through the 27th is the last few days of sweeps. They wrap on Wednesday the 25th. I expect big confrontational action.
Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) may realize Sidwell and Wyndemere are a dead end for them. Not just because of Cullum but now Carly knows Marco’s in on what’s going on and she’s very worried about Lucas Jones (Van Hansis).
Also, Spinelli’s scared he’ll lose Maxie. I’m curious if Spinelli just goes and has an honest conversation with Nathan to see where his head is at. Maxie is in love with Spinelli, and she was before the coma. Of course, Nathan is crushing on Lulu. So, it’s messy. It’s soapy. I’m excited to see how they end sweeps with this storyline.
Molly and Cody’s Relationship and Life-Changing Shifts for Maxie
Michael and Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) keep getting more serious, and he may confide in her that somebody is framing him, but Michael is not 100% sure who did it. I still think Chase is going to be his first suspect. Nathan is going to question Michael about Drew’s key and all he can say is he didn’t know it was there.
Hopefully Wiley spills that he saw Chase with the keys, but Michael’s sure to be thrown for a loop and worried about what’s next. Molly and Cody have a heart-to-heart that will hopefully mend the rift in their new relationship. I think Molly and Cody are super cute together.
They had been slid to the back burner because Josh Kelly, who plays Cody, really didn’t want to be on contract. He was looking at doing some other things and he kind of slid back to recurring.
But I’m excited to see more of him. I’m enjoying Molly and Cody. Kristina needs a romance, but other than that, we got Molly in a good place. At least as soon as Cody says he’s sorry for reading the book and overreacting.
The Threat to Lucas and Steve Burton’s Final GH Air Date
Maxie is going to slowly try and ease back into her life. There’s a lot to process. Of course, she doesn’t know Sidwell did this to her. No one does. Tracy was talking about how Maxie was going to be digging in and they want to look at all the shipments.
Sidwell may try and take Maxie out again if Tracy’s already threatening him. Nathan coming back from the dead is life-changing. Lots going on for her. Things are going to shift more for Willow and Drew, and Lulu has no idea what to do.
She doesn’t want to lose Maxie just because she caught feelings for Nathan. Also, Sidwell knows from Pascal (Mark Forget) that Lucas was eavesdropping. Sidwell is already planning to put Lucas in a grave if he interferes in their plans or in Marco’s role in the plans.
I will say that Marco seemed genuinely distraught about the idea of losing Lucas. But was Marco just panic blathering or did he really mean what he said? Also, we’re on a countdown to Steve Burton‘s last air date and then Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) going to be gone for a few months.
