General Hospital (GH) spoilers update for Thursday, August 31, reveals that Mason Gatlin-Holt (Nathanyael Grey) will hint about something big that’s going down tonight. That should lead to Dex Heller’s (Evan Hofer) latest assignment, but Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) will worry about the risks he’s taking.
Josslyn may feel like Dex is always running off to save the day for Sonny instead of spending time with her, but he’ll act like things are just kind of intense right now.
That’ll leave Joss complaining since things are always going to be intense when it comes to Sonny and the jobs he needs Dex to do.
However, Dex also reports to Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), who recently gave Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) updates on the situation, too. Carly may be tied to what comes next for Dex since she’ll make an urgent phone call and warn someone to flee.
Dex will indeed have to escape a dangerous tight spot, so Josslyn won’t be happy once she hears that news later.
In the meantime, there’s a chance Carly’s phone call will involve Diane Miller’s (Carolyn Hennesy) mission instead. Diane has been tasked with trying to get Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) out of Pentonville, so that could lead to some trouble if she almost gets caught snooping.
Regardless, Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) will grow curious about Diane’s plan for Drew’s freedom, so we’ll see if she can convince the DA to help her out.
Diane needs to prove the judge was biased in some way – though it’s possible he’s actually working for someone like Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).
At the Quartermaine residence, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) will give herself a pat on the back over how the court hearing went. Olivia Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero) will find out about all the Deception drama and act like Tracy is despicable for not even feeling remorse over her actions.
As for Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton), she’ll reach her limit when it comes to Tracy. Brook Lynn won’t even want to live under the same roof any longer, so Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) will most likely ask if she’d like to move in his place.
GH spoilers say Chase will indeed make a tempting proposition on Thursday’s episode, so Brook Lynn will have a lot to mull over.
Next, Ava Jerome (Maura West) will ask where Nikolas Cassadine’s (last played by Adam Huss) corpse is since Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth) previously offered hope that they’d be done with this nightmare soon.
Now Austin will backpedal on that idea and dampen Ava’s hopes when it comes to ever seeing Nikolas’ body again. Austin obviously knows more than he’s letting on since he came to Nikolas rescue and made sure Nik wound up on life support somewhere.
While Ava voices her frustration, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) will reflect on how much Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) means to him. Spencer would do just about anything for his little brother, so he’ll talk to Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) about that.
Of course, Spencer will also discuss his love for Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and how he doesn’t want to lose her.
Alexis will offer some guidance as Spencer tries to balance his awkward Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) family dilemma with the romantic relationship he’s entered with Trina.
General Hospital spoilers say Spencer and Trina have more hurdles ahead, so stay tuned. CDL will have other terrific General Hospital spoilers, updates and news, so make us your favorite GH hotspot.
