General Hospital Recap | Lulu Corners Lois: The Truth About Gio Finally Explodes - Wednesday, May 21, 2025 [SPOILERS]

If you thought General Hospital's annual Nurses Ball was about charity and cute numbers, think again. Wednesday's full episode recap has it all—blackmail, baby bombs, musical meltdowns, and enough sass to make even Lucy Coe blush.

Gio & Lois | GH, ABC

Nurses, Sequins, and a Whole Lot of Side-Eye

Lucy kicked things off in full sparkle mode, giving us a heartwarming speech about fighting HIV/AIDS while rocking her signature chaotic energy. The nurses brought the energy too, strutting to Madonna’s Holiday like they were auditioning for a Port Charles version of Drag Race. Amy and Deanna led the charge, giving it everything they had—sequins, sass, and synchronized shoulder pops.

Gio’s Glow-Up and the Backstage Buzz

If you weren’t feeling the heat before, Gio made sure you were sweating by the end of his performance. The boy belted out Glow, his own song, and had the crowd—and Lois—bursting with pride. Even Dante had to admit the kid nailed it, though he looked like he’d rather be anywhere else but admitting it. Brook Lynn was clearly ready to crown Gio the next big thing, and honestly, who could blame her?

Backstage, Joss was less than festive. She tracked down Willow to throw some serious shade, accusing her of showing up uninvited and warning her not to mess with Michael’s kids. Drew tried to play the peacemaker, but Joss wasn’t here for it. Instead, she threw his drug history back in his face and stormed off, leaving Willow defending herself and Drew stuck in the middle like it was an awkward high school reunion.

Curtis and Portia’s Marriage? Hanging by a Thread

Portia might’ve been dressed for a night of glitz, but she brought her secrets as accessories. Curtis got wind that Drew was blackmailing her and decided it was time for receipts. Portia finally confessed everything—Drew’s meddling with Heather’s test results, the Brad situation, and how she’s been spiraling to keep it all quiet.

Curtis, ever the king of betrayed husbands, read her for filth. After everything they’d survived, she went and pulled a rerun of SecretGate. He laid it all out—her choices could destroy their careers, their family, their future. Her defense? She was protecting him. His response? “You destroyed us.” And just like that, he walked.

Spinelli in Boots and Lulu’s Bombshell

Just when you thought it couldn’t get messier, Lulu cornered Lois with a truth grenade. She’d had enough of the whispers and sidesteps—it was time for Lois to fess up. Turns out, Gio didn’t come from Camillia’s tour bus womb. Nope, the real baby mama? Brook Lynn. Gio’s not just a musical prodigy—he’s family. Lulu dropped that mic harder than Gio dropped jaws on stage.

Meanwhile, Spinelli proved he’s more than just the geek squad by singing These Boots Were Made for Walking while Lucy, Anna, Felicia and company danced like your aunties after three mimosas. Spinelli saved the Nurses Ball and maybe gave us a new career to root for.

Alexis Drops a Bomb on Kristina

Across town, Kristina was having her own reckoning. Alexis came clean—she knows Kristina tampered with Ava’s brakes and nearly killed Ric and Liz in the process. And no, Alexis didn’t just learn this over brunch—she's been covering it up and getting blackmailed by Ava and Ric. Oh, and that commitment paper Kristina threw a tantrum over? That was actually Alexis trying to protect her from going to jail.

Kristina sobbed, realizing her mother was willing to sacrifice everything for her kids, even her own freedom. The guilt? Crushing. But Alexis wasn’t about to let her spiral. She told Kristina to let her handle it and keep her mouth shut around Sonny unless she wanted the whole family in matching orange jumpsuits.
