Did you check into “General Hospital” today? If so, you saw Willow and Michael spiral, Drew try to manipulate Curtis again, and Jason get some help from a reliable source. There was also plenty of awkwardness today in Port Charles.
Here is a full recap of GH for Thursday, July 31, 2025.
Enough Awkwardness to Go Around
ABCToday’s episode opens with chaos at Anna’s house. Emma is looking for her charger, the dog is in the way, and when there is a knock at the door, Gio opens it to come face to face with Dante. Their exchange is awkward at best, with Gio and Emma making a quick exit. Anna tries to reassure Dante that things weren’t as bad as he thinks with Gio. He thanks Anna for taking him in and then fills her in on what has happened with Rocco. Dante feels like his world is just spinning, with both sons not wanting to be around him much. Anna suggests that time will likely fix things.
Dante has the footage of Josslyn putting the tracker on Ingrid, who was staying at the Metro Court before leaving Port Charles. She reminds him that Henry Dalton is also staying there, and it can’t be a coincidence. Anna then shared with Dante her concerns for Emma, who was in his class in California and got into trouble for breaking into his lab. She believes that Emma still factors into the Dalton puzzle now and asks Dante to help her figure it out. She’s afraid that Emma will stumble onto something and wind up dead. Dante agrees to help her.
Emma and Gio went to the Metro Court pool, where he works. Josslyn and Vaughn are already there, trying to figure out what happened to the tracker on Ingrid’s bag. Carly sees them talking and asks to speak to Joss. Once in her office, she grills Joss about Vaughn. Joss plays it cool and reassures her mother that she has nothing to worry about, that Vaughn isn’t too old for her and that they are just having fun. ,,
Carly tells her that if Vaughn is pitting her and Emma against each other, then she needs to drop him now, and Joss dismisses her concerns. She tells her that she and Vaughn aren’t exclusive, so Emma is no issue. Besides, Joss tells her that she isn’t looking for a serious relationship anyway.
As Joss is talking to her mom, Vaughn takes the time to apologize to Emma. She blows him off and doesn’t want to be bothered, but later shows Gio Vaughn’s master key to the school. Now they can get into Dalton’s lab. When Joss returns to sit with Vaughn, he tells her that Brennan has pulled them from the investigation.
At a table nearby, Aunt Stella and Curtis have sat down to continue a conversation about Trina and Kai. He refuses to tell her why they broke up and insists that Stella respect her privacy. His aunt is on a mission to reunite Trina and Kai, but it’s unlikely to work. They see Drew sitting with Martin at a table, and he gets up to visit with them.
Drew asks to talk to Curtis alone, and then says that he would like to call a truce. They were once best friends, and this may be the point where they stop hurting each other. Curtis is cautiously optimistic as Drew returns to his seat with Martin. Drew tells his attorney that he isn’t making peace; he is just ready to play the long game.
Jason Asks Liz for Help
ABCJason arrives at Liz’s house and learns that she has taken Willow in. He praises her kindness and generosity, and then asks her for a favor. He needs to know where GH’s morgue sent their bodies between 2022 and 2024. He isn’t giving her any details, and knows that it is a big request. Liz could lose her job if she gets caught, but she trusts Jason. She opens up the database on her computer and walks away, as he goes to work. Jason finds out which mortuary handled Britt and visits them.
Jason sits down with a woman from the mortuary who is holding Britt’s file. Her mother, Olbrecht, handled all of the arrangements and wanted her cremated. As the woman looks over the details, she realizes that the form was never completed. While cremation was ordered, there is no record of Britt Westbourne being cremated in January 2023.
Michael Blocks Willow From Seeing Their Kids
ABCMichael has agreed to talk to Willow, and she walks in calmly and peacefully. She apologizes for everything. She now realizes that every bit of Drew’s sincerity was fake. They peacefully talk things over, and Michael reminds her of how she insisted that he refused to see her when he was in Germany. He again insists that it never happened and that he would never have turned her away. Slowly, Willow realizes that Drew prevented that visit from ever happening, and that if it had, they likely would have worked everything out.
As they talk, Willow starts to get emotional and begs to see the kids. It is her irrational behavior that once again makes Michael say no. He says that she needs to heal and be stable first. She tells him that she will never forget him turning her away, and storms out. Willow returns to Liz’s house and fills her in on the conversation. She now understands that she needs to be in control to see her kids.
Meanwhile, Michael visits his mother. He fills Carly in on his talk with Willow. He is hurt because he saw signs of the woman that he loves, and then she became desperate all over again.
