General Hospital (GH) spoilers update for Thursday, October 24, teases that Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig) will be on the hot seat. It took Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) some time to even process this little girl in front of him. Finn had a chance to meet Violet Finn (Jophielle Love), but now he’s ready to hear the whole story. He’ll push Hayden to reveal why she kept his daughter from him.
That’ll be a difficult question for Hayden to answer, but Finn will force her to try. Unfortunately, all Hayden’s excuses and explanations aren’t going to fly. Finn should remain hurt and confused by Hayden’s deception. GH spoilers say he’ll have to mull over this betrayal and consider what’s next.
Meanwhile, Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab) will help out around the house. He’ll have some large boxes in his hands as he heads upstairs, but Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) will stop him. General Hospital spoilers say Sonny will be curious about what’s inside, so Dev will spill what’s up.
In the courtroom, Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) will stick to the facts of the case. Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) tried to drag the Jake Doe mess into this, but Liz is more concerned about the here and now. This is about Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) – the man sitting right across the room. She’ll insist that’s indeed her husband and not Drew Cain (Billy Miller) like Martin claims.
Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) could present another huge hurdle for Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner). Her last name and credentials mean something in Port Charles. Once Monica gives her support for “Drew,” it’ll definitely leave Scott fighting to recover. Monica won’t think DNA defines who someone is. She’ll feel like “Drew” is “Drew” in the ways that count, so Scott will have to get down in the mud. That means delivering a low blow to Kim Nero (Tamara Braun).
General Hospital spoilers say Kim will be floored by what comes out in court. Julian Jerome (William deVry) gave Scott into that could do serious damage. Kim drugged the real Drew as part of an elaborate baby-making plot. She was desperate to have another child with Drew, so Scott could use that and insist Kim’s delusional. If Martin’s going to throw Liz’s history in her face, Kim needs hers brought into this, too.
To be fair, Kim was dealing with truly terrible grief. Even so, plenty of people go through tough losses without drugging their exes and trying to sleep with them. Of course, Julian may have offered some other bombshell that’ll come into play. No matter what Scott divulges publicly, it’ll leave Kim scrambling to explain herself.
Next, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) will be touched by Jasper “Jax” Jacks’ (Ingo Rademacher) gesture. Her dad will remember something that’s important to Joss, so he’ll get the father of the year award in her book. While Josslyn accepts a gift and embraces Jax, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) will do some brainstorming with Laura Webber (Genie Francis). They really need to rev up this codicil search and get the job done.
Curtis will come up with an idea that could work to their advantage, so we’ll see if it pans out. At Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) gallery, she’ll fill Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla) in on some instructions. It seems Trina will be working there, so Ava should be glad for the extra help and company. The less time Ava spends alone, the better! She knows she’s being watched, so that’s obviously a creepy feeling.
Ava should experience that creepy feeling again thanks to Helena Cassadine’s (Constance Towers) portrait. It’ll be at the gallery on Thursday, but Ava may not be happy about it. That’s a rather haunting painting, so it’ll probably add to Ava’s uneasiness.
