General Hospital (GH) spoilers recap for Friday, January 28, reveals that Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) abducted Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) while Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) made a scandalous video. Peter August (Wes Ramsey) also met Louise August aka “Bailey Quartermaine” (London and Jett Prinzo-Berendt), so here’s how it all went down.
At GH, Victor quizzed Valentin on why he was getting “Bailey’s” medical info, but Valentin argued that he was still her legal father.
Valentin tried to play it like he was looking for something that could be used against Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) in the records.
After Valentin and Victor made plans for dinner later, Victor took off. That left Valentin to ask the nurse about the sonogram, which was never in “Bailey’s” file.
Valentin also got a clue based on “Bailey’s” blood type and called Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) with a Louise lead once he was in the parking garage.
Unfortunately, Victor had one of his henchmen come up behind Valentin and chloroform him.
Once Valentin was unconscious, Victor had Valentin stuffed in the trunk of a vehicle and told his henchman to cancel their dinner reservation.
Meanwhile, Brook Lynn strolled in an exam room with “Bailey” and found Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) in his underwear due to his physical, which had just wrapped up.
Chase and Brook Lynn shared an intense moment as she pointed out that he missed a button.
In Peter’s room, he learned his prison transfer was happening tomorrow instead of today.
Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) was surprised when Peter acted eager to get back to Pentonville.
Peter wanted his day in court to come sooner so he could walk free and find Louise.
Dante argued that Peter would remain behind bars and didn’t see why Peter thought he could find Louise anyway – especially when so many others had failed.
Nevertheless, Peter alluded to his special resources and felt confident he could make it happen.
After Laura Collins (Genie Francis) guilt-tripped Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) into dropping Peter as a client, Martin arrived to take himself off Peter’s case.
Peter acted like it was no big deal and assured Martin that there was no catch.
At one point, Peter was being wheeled to the elevator and ran into “Bailey” with her fake parents.
Peter seemed transfixed as he commented on what a beautiful baby she was and thought she looked just like her mother.
Afterward, Brook Lynn was uneasy since it seemed like Peter knew the truth. Chase reassured Brook Lynn before Laura came along.
Laura was curious about Brook Lynn and Chase’s conversation about Peter, but they managed to cover.
When Laura visited Peter’s room, he seemed eerily calm about everything working out for the best.
At Kelly’s, Marshall Ashford (Damien Leake) addressed his medication adjustment while chatting with Epiphany Johnson (Sonya Eddy).
Marshall felt his abandoned family wasn’t as easy to fix, but Epiphany offered encouragement and mostly dodged questions about her dream of becoming a doctor.
At Charlie’s Pub, Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) was surprised over Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) thinking that Marshall had been in the witness protection program.
Even so, Stella acted like Curtis should accept Marshall’s version of events and move on.
Curtis feared that opening the door more to Marshall would leave the door open for trouble, too.
Curtis at least thought he should know what he was dealing with when it came to Marshall’s past and wondered if Stella knew something he didn’t.
Stella played dumb, but she still gave Curtis a nudge to leave things alone.
Marshall eventually showed up hoping he could join Stella and Curtis at their table.
At the cabin, Esme ranted over Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) calling her a “bitch” and tried to play the victim.
Esme suggested maybe Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla) was just being a drama queen, but Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) thought Trina was genuinely upset.
Josslyn ranted about Esme orchestrating this whole thing and trying to spin it around on Trina.
Soon after, Esme refused to spend another minute with people who didn’t know who she really was. Josslyn argued that they already knew exactly who she was, but Esme wondered if Spencer was coming or not.
Spencer wanted to check on Trina and get their things, but Esme insisted on leaving immediately and had sent for a car.
Spencer told Joss and Cameron Webber (William Lipton) that he was sorry before getting in the car with Esme.
That led to a fight in the backseat since Spencer wanted to know if Esme really did plan all this – if her goal was to blow up his friendships.
Esme acted offended that Spencer would even ask and played it like she just wanted him to have a special getaway with his friends.
However, GH fans saw a flashback of Esme setting up a phone in Joss and Cam’s bedroom at the cabin.
Esme positioned the phone so that it was hidden and pressed record.
Later, Cameron and Josslyn made love for the first time while the camera made a steamy video of them in bed.
General Hospital spoilers say Esme will continue to stir up trouble, so stay tuned.
