General Hospital (GH) spoilers update for Monday, May 8, teases that Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) will make a fast recovery once he’s given the antidote, so he’ll get right back in the action.
Of course, Valentin will be anxious to learn Victor Cassadine’s (Charles Shaughnessy) fate now that bombs have dropped on The Haunted Star.
Although Valentin would’ve preferred to pull the trigger himself, he’ll still hope Victor is dead in the aftermath.
A body will be pulled from the ship wreckage, so Valentin will keep his fingers crossed that it’s deceased Victor.
Meanwhile, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) will cling to hope that it’s not Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez)!
Spencer still seemed to be on The Haunted Star when it exploded, so Trina will be a nervous wreck over her boyfriend’s fate.
Fortunately, Victor’s exit has been confirmed – and we know Spencer will live to tell the tale.
Unless Victor can pull off one last escape trick, all signs point to him being the recovered corpse.
Back in Port Charles, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) will feel a bit conflicted.
Despite how happy Josslyn will be in Dex Heller’s (Evan Hofer) arms, she’ll battle guilt since she’s doing well while almost everyone else in her world’s going through turmoil.
Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) will continue to battle concerns about the SEC, so she’ll confide in Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and get a warning.
Considering how fast the agents have been moving on this, Dante will assume they have a good case and will fear it could mean bad news for Carly as well as Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).
However, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) will meet with Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) and push her to do whatever it takes to keep Donny Corinthos’ (Scarlett Spears) mom out of the slammer.
Diane will point out that Sonny would get sole custody and could share Donna with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) if Carly landed in prison, but Sonny won’t wish that outcome on the mother of his child.
Sonny and Diane will also disagree about the rules of this legal situation, but Sonny will think it’s fine to skirt around them and make Carly’s freedom a priority.
Other GH spoilers say Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) will come through with some words of wisdom for Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), who remains desperate to truly bond with Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen).
Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) once had a very contentious long-lost daughter storyline with Sam, but they’re on great terms now.
Sam might use that example to offer a little hope – though she’ll no doubt push Nina to be patient.
Although Sam will acknowledge the challenges that Nina’s facing, she may have some advice that’ll keep Nina from making this harder on herself.
In Willow’s room at GH, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) will bicker with Willow about whether something’s going to happen or not.
Willow won’t think Michael can predict the outcome, so this may be about his plot against Sonny.
General Hospital spoilers say Willow will give Michael something important to think about when it comes to the nightmare he could unleash for his family.
Willow might even worry that both Carly and Sonny will wind up in prison for separate reasons – leaving poor Donna without either parent.
Michael will face pressure to end his Sonny scheme before it’s too late, so stay tuned for updates on his tough decision.
