General Hospital Recap - Tuesday, July 22, 2025 | Sonny Cornered as Brook Lynn Draws Lines & Willow Faces a Shocking Truth

Things are reaching a boiling point in Port Charles on Tuesday as Sonny faces heat from all sides, Brook Lynn makes it clear she’s drawing the family line, and Willow’s wedding bliss is about to take a very dark turn. Secrets are bubbling up faster than the Metro Court pool jets and nobody’s walking away unscathed. Here’s Tuesday’s General Hospital recap.

Willow | GH, ABC

Sonny Faces the Heat

Lucas accused Sonny of kidnapping Marco, but Chase refused to act on a hunch. ADA Turner swooped in and demanded the PCPD take it seriously because Sonny Corinthos doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt. Sonny, meanwhile, barked at Sidwell over the phone, then played it cool with Laura as he hinted at cutting Nina out of his life. Turner later grilled him at the station and Sonny gave his trademark denial, even sliding in a flirty whisper. Turner warned him that if Marco isn’t returned within 24 hours, he’s looking at an arrest. Sonny told her to do what she had to do, but you could practically hear the walls closing in.

Brook Lynn Draws the Line with Tracy

Brook Lynn caught up with Tracy at the Metro Court pool, venting about her mom’s latest humiliation. Tracy practically cheered that Lois had been canned, not caring that Lois had boosted sales. Martin arrived to tell Tracy she’s all-in on funding the fight against Sonny, and she happily agreed. Brook Lynn looked uneasy, pointing out that her son Gio adores his grandfather Sonny. She worried that taking Sonny down would also hurt Gio. Tracy brushed it off, insisting Sonny needs to be removed from Port Charles before he can hurt anyone else. Brook Lynn clearly isn’t ready to pick sides in this family feud.

Lois Packs Her Guilt for Bensonhurst

Lois wrapped up her disastrous Home & Heart appearance still licking her wounds. Flora gave her a pep talk, but Lois wasn’t having it. She admitted she deserved every bit of Brook Lynn’s fury. When Lucy’s call came, Lois thought it meant forgiveness, but nope, she was just fooling herself. She confessed to Flora that she’d do anything to fix things between Brook Lynn and her adopted-out grandson Gio. With a heavy heart, Lois decided to head back to Bensonhurst, clinging to the hope that one day she can repair the mess she made.

Portia Falls on Her Sword

Isaiah got summoned to Portia’s office, worried he was the one getting the boot. Surprise twist, it was Portia who had been axed. She couldn’t share details yet, only that the board wanted her gone. Isaiah called her an excellent co-Chief and promised to miss her. Ever the fighter, she vowed to go down swinging. Meanwhile, Isaiah tried to focus on the silver lining, but it was clear Portia’s world had been turned upside down.

Willow’s Big Day Cracks at the Edges

Willow floated around the hospital handing out wedding invitations, convinced her upcoming marriage to Drew would finally reunite her with her kids. Liz accepted, although she side-eyed Willow’s fragile mental state. Isaiah had to pass, stuck with a fixer-upper Lucky left him. Portia, however, took one look at the invitation, tossed it in the trash, and decided it was time Willow knew the truth. She revealed that Drew is blackmailing her into faking medical records to brand Michael a drug addict so Drew can get Willow’s children back for her. Willow’s face dropped as the fantasy world she’d built around Drew shattered. 

Over at Drew's, Martin found a forgotten envelope addressed to Monica with a child’s drawing on it. Martin asked Drew about it and Drew dismissed it as one of the kids' scribbled artwork. Drew stepped outside and Martin opened it. It's a letter to Monica and Martin looks visibly rattled.
