General Hospital Spoilers: Two-Week Breakdown (Nov 17–28)

Ned’s Collapse Shatters the Quartermaines, Dalton’s Death Sparks a New Nightmare, and Port Charles Spirals Toward a Holiday Explosion

ABC General Hospital spoilers for the next two weeks, November 17th through November 28th, reveal a storyline packed with medical crises, buried secrets, dangerous obsessions, and new investigations that threaten the fragile balance of Port Charles. As Thanksgiving approaches, families try to hold onto tradition—but the truth is coming for everyone.

And once it hits… nothing will ever be the same.

TRACY RETURNS IN FURY AS NED FIGHTS FOR HIS LIFE

Tracy Quartermaine may have been relaxing in France, indulging in saunas, mud wraps, and decadence, but one phone call sends her world careening off its axis. Ned has undergone emergency coronary bypass surgery—and for Tracy, everything stops.

Her sharp tongue, her polished posture, her reputation for being unshakeable—all of it cracks the moment she imagines her son collapsing outside Bobbie’s, alone, vulnerable, terrified. She drops everything and races home.

When she finally steps into Ned’s room, she hides her panic behind crisp questions and a controlled demeanor. But her eyes never stop assessing him:

 

his breathing, his color, the tremor in his hand.

Ned survived the surgery, but emotionally, he is a wreck.

Because as he regains consciousness, he relives the moment his chest seized, his legs gave out, and he realized no one was there to catch him. And in that desperate moment, his fear warped into fury—and Drew became the target.

In Ned’s mind, Drew walked away at the worst possible time. Whether or not that is the full truth no longer matters. The betrayal feels real. The line feels crossed.

And when Tracy learns that Drew was there… and then not there… her anger ignites like a match to gasoline.
She may be polite in public.
She may be civil when necessary.
But she will destroy anyone she believes harmed her child.

Yet even in her rage, Tracy sees heroism where it belongs.
When she hears that Gio stepped in—that it was Gio’s quick action that got Ned help in time—she surprises everyone with her rare praise. One of the few genuine signs of softness she ever allows.

THE QUARTERMAINE HOLIDAY IMPLODES UNDER SECRETS AND SUSPICION

Thanksgiving at the Quartermaine mansion is always chaotic—but this year, a darker current runs beneath the usual burned turkey and family bickering.

Ned is recovering, but he is angrier than anyone realizes.
Drew is defensive, exhausted, and carrying guilt he refuses to admit aloud.
Tracy is a storm waiting for a direction to unleash herself.

And the rest of the family stands in the crossfire, trying to keep the peace as the house teeters between gratitude and all-out war.

But the real danger isn’t the arguments.
It’s the secret Ned is hiding.

A secret that has nothing to do with the fall, or the surgery, or even Drew.

Tracy senses it.
Drew senses it.
Everyone feels the shift—the unspoken truth pressing harder with every passing hour.

Thanksgiving might mark the moment it finally detonates.

BRITT VS. EMMA: A COLLISION YEARS IN THE MAKING

Across town, Britt Westbourne is unraveling.

The Rocco crisis has pushed her past her breaking point.
The research project consumes her life.
Her health, her job, her stability—everything feels like it’s slipping away.

And just when she can’t take another hit, Emma becomes the spark that ignites a long-brewing confrontation.

Emma, fiercely protective of Rocco, confronts Britt with sharp words and sharper accusations. Neither woman fully understands the truth, but both are drowning in fear, adrenaline, and loyalty.

Port Charles is about to feel the blast wave of this confrontation.

GIO’S CONFESSION BLOWS UP DANTE’S WORLD

While Britt fights on one front, Gio is falling apart on another.

Unable to carry the weight of the lab break-in any longer, Gio finally confesses everything to Brook Lynn.
The lies.
The desperation.
The accidental involvement in a crime he never meant to be part of.

Brook Lynn is stunned—but steady. She listens, processes, and knows instantly that Dante must be told.

And when Dante hears?
The eruption is devastating.

This isn’t just a detective’s anger.
This is a father’s heartbreak.

Gio doesn’t get screaming. He gets something worse—disappointment so deep it strips him raw.

And in the midst of this emotional implosion…

Dalton’s death drops like a bomb.

DALTON IS DEAD — AND SIDWELL’S SHADOW DARKENS PORT CHARLES

The confirmation hits Port Charles with a chilling impact:
Professor Dalton is dead.

But instead of answers, the news unleashes new terror.

Dalton’s death doesn’t feel accidental.
It feels orchestrated.

Britt feels it first—a cold, creeping dread that this is only the beginning.
Sidwell’s motives become sharper.
His threats more menacing.
His control frighteningly absolute.

Dalton’s death exposes the rot beneath the project—politics, manipulation, sacrifice… and danger.

Worse: Britt knows too much.
The formulas.
The experiments.
The side effects.
The secrets.

And Sidwell controls her medication.
Her future.
Her life.

Dalton’s death may not be a tragedy—it may be a message.

LAURA IS FRAMED FOR MURDER IN A POLITICAL NIGHTMARE

Laura Spencer’s world collapses when a horrifying car accident turns into a setup so precise it could only have one architect:

Sidwell.

Dalton appears in her path—literally.
Thrown? Placed? Deliberately positioned?

The moment of impact is unavoidable.
The aftermath? Carefully manipulated.

Suddenly, Laura looks guilty.
Too guilty.

A public figure.
A critic of Dalton.
A mayor seeking re-election.
A woman with a motive Sidwell can easily twist.

Nathan races to her side, determined to protect her, and immediately sees the inconsistencies in the evidence.

Someone is framing her.
Meticulously.
Ruthlessly.

And as the media tears into her…

Britt receives the final confirmation:

Dalton is gone.

Laura becomes a political target.
Britt becomes a scientific liability.
And Sidwell tightens his grip, unseen but unmistakable.

Dalton’s death is no longer a mystery—
It’s an obsession haunting Port Charles.

WILLOW FINALLY SEES LIGHT — AS MICHAEL’S ALIBI BEGINS TO CRUMBLE

Willow has been drowning since the night Drew was shot. Nothing made sense. Nothing felt right.

But when Chase begins picking apart Michael’s alibi—especially Justinda’s too-perfect involvement—something inside Willow shifts.

Hope.

For the first time, Willow feels the truth approaching.
She can almost touch it.
She can almost breathe again.

But as the truth comes closer, Michael begins to crack.

His defensiveness.
His panic.
His agitation whenever Justinda is mentioned.

Willow sees it all.

And it terrifies her.

Because if Michael’s alibi collapses…

What else collapses with it?

CHASE UNRAVELS AS THE INVESTIGATION PULLS HIM APART

While Willow finds clarity, Chase is losing himself.

His marriage is deteriorating beyond repair.
His emotions are fraying.
Investigating Drew’s shooting gives him a sense of purpose—but also becomes a dangerous escape.

He needs to solve this case.
For Willow.
For justice.
For himself.

But every truth he uncovers pushes him closer to a breaking point—and closer to Willow.

Their parallel paths are beginning to converge in ways neither expected… or may be ready for.

SUNNY SMELLS A LIE — AND MICHAEL’S NEW ROMANCE DOESN’T ADD UP

Justinda makes a polished, charming first impression.

Too polished.

Sunny sees through it instantly.

Michael stands too straight.
Speaks too carefully.
Defends too quickly.

The chemistry is off.
The timing is suspicious.
And Justinda seems rehearsed—protective to a degree that raises alarms.

Sunny has known Michael since he took his first breath.

And what he sees now?

Fear.

Not guilt.
Not innocence.
Fear.

Sunny realizes the truth before anyone else:

This is not a romance.
This is an alibi.

And if Justinda’s story collapses…

So does everything Michael has been hiding.

Sunny’s new obsession becomes clear:

He must uncover the real connection between Michael, Justinda, and the shooting—
Before the truth destroys all of them.
