General Hospital (GH) spoilers for Wednesday, December 18, tease that Laura Webber (Genie Francis) will need some advice. GH fans know Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) assured Laura that her secret bodyguard was real and argued that Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) had a picture of him on her phone. When Laura asked Charlotte to point him out, Charlotte showed her grandmother the pic of Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma).
Laura was taken aback at first, but her expression quickly turned to one of sympathy and concern. She seems to think this is just part of Charlotte’s coping strategy – although it just got more painful for her through Nik’s inclusion. Laura will naturally just want to focus on Charlotte and figure out the best way to handle this.
GH spoilers say Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) will hear about the situation and offer his expert opinion. Lulu and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) will ultimately get in on this discussion, so the puzzle pieces could start coming together. Wednesday’s preview video shows Lulu declaring, “I have to go speak with Valentin…NOW.”
Of course, it’s possible Lulu will think Charlotte simply looked at the pic and conjured up this story. Then again, Lulu and Laura might consider the idea that someone who resembles Nik has been circling Charlotte. They believe Nikolas is dead, so it could be a while before they fully accept that he could be back. Even so, this is an important step toward Nikolas’ exposure.
At the gallery, Ava Jerome (Maura West) will continue to hold a gun on Nik, who just showed up like Ava predicted. She’ll undoubtedly hope she can make Nikolas squirm a bit. Ava might point out that if she killed Nik and dumped the body, no one would suspect a thing. She could argue that she can’t go down for killing a man who’s already dead.
Ava obviously isn’t going to murder Nikolas, but she’ll definitely give him an earful for that spectacle at Shadybrook. Nikolas exploited Kiki Jerome’s (Hayley Erin) memory and made Ava think it was her fault that Kiki was in hell with him. Ava will lash out at Nikolas and demand to know where he’s been all this time, so Nikolas will have to explain under pressure.
Over with Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), she’ll spring an unexpected announcement on Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson). Sasha will be forced into an awkward meeting about the Face of Deception, so she won’t be too thrilled with how Lucy handles all this. Next, General Hospital spoilers say Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) will get grilled by Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). When Nina pushes for the truth, Liesl will wonder if Nina’s sure that’s what she wants.
After Nina confirms that it is, Liesl will likely spill everything she knows about Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) role in the fake daughter deception. It won’t be anything Nina didn’t already suspect, but it could strengthen her resolve to take Valentin down.
Across town, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) will have another shouting match with Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). He’ll once again try to find out what Carly’s keeping from him, but she’ll be adamant that he must be kept in the dark. Afterward, Sonny will bring Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) up to speed on the situation. They’ll mull over what Carly’s gotten herself into and hope it’s nothing too serious.
Finally, Carly will warn Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) that it’s time to end this nightmare. She’ll insist Jax should call the cops and turn Nikolas in, but he’ll be hesitant to take that step. General Hospital spoilers say Nik’s secret will stay under wraps to most of Port Charles for now, but things are bound to blow up eventually.
