On the Thursday, January 23, 2025, episode of General Hospital, Brick learned about Sonny’s condition and pulled some strings to help.
Sonny’s Broken Heart
Natalia (Eva LaRue) brought Sonny (Maurice Benard) back to her hotel room to keep an eye on him for the night and make sure he didn’t die of a heart attack. She tried to get him to put his phone down and stop doing business, but Sonny needed to keep busy. Brick (Stephen A. Smith) then arrived at Sonny’s request. Sonny was worried about Kristina since he was supposed to be at Charlie’s. Natalia left Brick and Sonny alone so she could tell Kristina that her dad was busy with some organization business.
Once alone, Brick was stunned to hear that Sonny had been diagnosed with a serious heart condition. He arranged for Sonny to see a top cardiologist in Los Angeles. Natalia offered to help Sonny come up with an excuse for his trip.
Sidwell Causes Drama
Jodan (Tanisha Harper) joined Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Kristina (Kate Mansi) at the bar at Charlie’s after both her dates were called away to deal with Sonny’s broken heart. All three women were intrigued when Lucy (Lynn Herring) walked in with a new gentleman on her arm. Alexis told Jordan and Kristina that he was the man who bought Wyndemere. Kristina introduced herself and got Lucy and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) a bottle of the pub’s best champagne.
When Jordan asked for the man’s name, she was shocked to hear that it was Jenz Sidwell and immediately left to find her boss. When Laura (Genie Francis) heard that Sidwell was in town, she was alarmed. After doing some research, she found that Sidwell was a free man who had no warrants out for his arrest.
As for Lucy, she was left in the lurch without a date when Sidwell was suddenly called away on urgent business. He was happy to hear from Laura, who arranged a meeting with him for the next day.
Ava’s Bad (and Good) Night
Before Jordan got there, Ava (Maura West) paid Laura a visit and was disturbed to hear that Laura no longer wanted to testify at her custody hearing. Laura was friends with Sonny again and thought it would be a conflict of interest if she testified on Ava’s behalf. After all, she and Sonny both shared a grandson in Rocco.
Ava later met with Ric (Rick Hearst) at an apartment that looked curiously like the one that belonged to Dex. Ava was not at all impressed, but Ric pointed out it was in her price range. Besides, she needed to have a permanent address if she was to win custody of Avery. Ric was sure that Ava could spruce the place up.
Ric brought up the fact that Ava didn’t have much money and could barely afford to pay him. It wasn’t like she could afford a luxury apartment. Ava accused Ric of wanting money and not being on her side. She admitted that Laura was refusing to testify, which Ric knew was a blow to her case. Ric promised to be there for Ava and finally kissed her for the first time.
Police Business
At the PCPD, Felicia (Kristina Wagner) encouraged Mac (John J. York) to talk to Cody (Josh Kelly), who was in a jail cell. Molly (Kristen Vaganos) visited Cody as the ADA and told him he could go free if he could pay for the damages at Charlie’s. Since Cody didn’t have any money, he was stuck behind bars. Mac finally showed up and essentially asked his son while he was ruining his life. After all, this was his second bar brawl since October.
Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) tended to Lucky’s (Jonathan Jackson) cuts and bruises in the interrogation room until they spotted Felicia. They asked her to tell them about the day Dex (Evan Hofer) was stabbed at Rice Plaza but she didn’t remember any more than they already knew. She told them that Portia (Brook Kerr) banned Cyrus (Jeff Kober) from GH, something she approved of.
Over in Carly’s (Laura Wright) kitchen, Lucas (Van Hansis) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) discussed Cyrus. Lucas was surprised to hear how badly Josslyn screwed up when Anna (Finola Hughes) brought Cyrus in for questioning, but Joss also got a surprise. Lucas had a theory that Cyrus was targeting patients at the hospital. Lucas asked Joss to promise she would stay out of this mess, but Joss refused to make that promise.
