It was another jam-packed day in Port Charles. If you missed it, then you missed a lot. Stella was arrested for fraud, as Curtis and Sonny separately promised that Drew’s reckoning was coming. Nina stumbled upon Willow with Drew in public and threatened to kill him, while Sidwell quite easily stole Deception from Lucy.
Here is a complete “General Hospital” recap for Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025.
Stella Is Arrested for Fraud
ABCCurtis arrives at GH and barges into his wife’s office to tell her about how Drew has set up Aunt Stella. Portia points out that the truce between Curtis and Drew was always a lie to gain leverage, and he agrees. As they speak, Stella is at the nurse’s station talking to Isaiah. She is in the process of reassuring him that everything is okay, because she has done nothing wrong, when the agents arrive.
Isaiah runs into Portia’s office to get her and Curtis, grabbing his phone to call in reinforcements. Jordan eventually arrives and tells the officers that a phone call is coming their way from the DEA. They receive that call and arrest Stella anyway. Curtis finally reaches Alexis and asks her to meet them at the PCPD. Jordan reassures her ex that everything will be okay; she’ll make sure of it, as Portia looks on in rage.
Gio and Brook Lynn Finally Share a Special Moment
ABCGio visits the chapel to light a candle for his late mother, Camilla. He runs into Marco, who is there lighting a candle for Natalia. The two bond over missing their mother, and Gio mentions his grandfather, Sonny. He knows that Marco believes that Sonny is connected to Natalia’s death, and he tries to reassure him that it’s not true. Marco deals with the conversation kindly, but no one is changing his mind about Sonny.
After he leaves, Brook Lynn walks in with the intention of lighting a candle for Camilla. She tells Gio that she’ll go, but he actually asks her to stay. They share memories of Camilla, and BLQ tells Gio all the different ways that he takes after his mom. He says that he had always believed that he got his love of music from Camilla, and Brook Lynn insists that it’s true. She raised him around instruments and musicians, so it was only natural that it came from her.
This is the first time in months that Gio has even entertained a conversation with his biological mother, and it went beautifully for both of them.
Lucy Practically Gives Deception to Sidwell
ABCLucy is with Sidwell, in a panic over Deception. Erica Kane’s Enchantment platform has been suggesting that Maxie collapsed due to the face cream she used, and business is tanking. Lucy goes to take a call, and when she returns, Sidwell tells her that the company’s stocks are crashing. He plays it cool, but then suggests that he could invest in Deception to help her out, but he would need to control a bigger portion as collateral.
Sidwell spoke with Colette yesterday and told her that soon he would be controlling Deception, and this is precisely how it’ll happen. Lucy believes he is bailing her out, rather than taking over. After she leaves, Marco arrives, upset over his conversation with Gio. He wants his father to let it be known that the judge in Michael’s custody case was bribed immediately. Sidwell tells him that everything will come out when the timing is right.
Ric Has a Thirty Day Vacation
ABCMolly arrives home and is ready for a fight with Kristina. She tells her that she knows that she paid Cody to distract Ava, and that it was wrong. As much as she doesn’t want her around her father, she thinks it is wrong to meddle in his personal life. Their fight is interrupted by the arrival of Sonny, who tries to pick Molly’s brain about ADA Turner. She shares with him that Turner does have her eyes on him, but she is fair and won’t create a case that doesn’t exist.
Meanwhile, in the basement, Ric is still tied and chained to a bed when he sees Alexis. He begs her to get him out of there, while telling her the little bit that he remembers from the night before. Slowly, Ric realizes that Alexis is in on the plan to keep him locked away. She explains that she has chosen to help Ava because Ava has leverage over her with Kristina. She informs him that he and return it to where it belongs. This way, they all have something on each other and no one will run to the police.
Ric is horrified as Alexis leaves him. Once upstairs, she talks to Sonny about her public fight with Drew after being served with a restraining order. Sonny can’t imagine a court order keeping him from his grandkids and reassures Alexis that Drew will get what he deserves.
Nina Threatens to Kill Drew
ABCWillow has agreed to meet Drew at the Metro Court to discuss how he can help her to win her children back. They are seated for mere minutes when Nina walks in and flips out. She reminds Willow that Drew is the reason why Michael took her kids in the first place. Willow still holds her mother a little more responsible than Drew, and reminds her of it. If Nina had told the truth Willow would likely have never left Michael.
The two fight as Drew looks on with a smirk, and finally, Willow tells him that she will go back to him if he gets her kids back. After Willow leaves, Nina gets vicious with Drew, as Marco listens from a few feet away. She flat-out threatens to kill him before leaving. Marco comes over to Drew and tells him that he overheard her threats and thinks that he can help him.
