General Hospital Spoilers April 15–26: WSB Secrets, Custody Wars, and Mothers in Crisis

As General Hospital enters the second half of April, Port Charles is spinning on the edge of several unraveling secrets and hidden agendas. Over the next two weeks, dangerous undercurrents from the past surface—forcing families into impossible decisions and young women into the line of fire. From a mother’s legal crusade to save her daughter to a covert WSB project threatening lives and legacies, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Trina’s Collapse Unleashes a Torrent of Secrets

The week opens with a medical emergency that shakes the Ashford family to its core—Trina collapses during a lecture at PCU. What initially appears to be stress-related soon spirals into something far more disturbing. Portia rushes to her daughter’s side at GH, and within hours, tests begin revealing alarming anomalies in Trina’s bloodwork—unusual enzymes, signs of long-term neurological interference, and unknown synthetic compounds.

Curtis and Marshall demand answers while Portia presses Finn and TJ for medical clarity. But it’s Kai, Trina’s increasingly mysterious companion, who holds the key. Alone with Trina in her hospital room before she slips into sedation, Kai tearfully whispers, “I didn’t want this to happen to you. They promised it was over.”

That phrase—“They promised”—sends a cold shiver through viewers. It’s confirmation: Trina’s health crisis is connected to a past experiment, a long-buried WSB medical trial involving behavioral monitoring and neurochemical manipulation. Kai, previously tight-lipped, now faces the consequences of withholding the truth.

Alexis’s Dilemma: How Far Will a Mother Go?

As Kristina edges closer to signing permanent guardianship papers for Molly and TJ’s baby, Alexis grows increasingly distressed. A private conversation with Diane reveals the depth of Alexis’s fear: she believes Kristina is being emotionally manipulated, pushed into a corner where she has no legal agency. But Kristina insists this is her choice. “You keep saying I’m being used—but what if I want to be needed?”

Haunted by her own legacy of maternal missteps, Alexis does the unthinkable—she meets with Judge Harper, a family court judge with influence, to request an emergency review of the guardianship on the grounds of Kristina’s emotional duress and coercion. When Sam finds out, she’s furious. “You’re crossing a line, Mom. If you file that injunction, you’re not protecting Kristina—you’re punishing her.”

Alexis’s inner conflict fractures her relationship with both daughters. She wants to believe she’s fighting for Kristina’s autonomy, but the deeper truth is that Alexis doesn’t trust anyone—especially not Molly and TJ—to protect Kristina’s emotional well-being. In a heart-wrenching monologue to Finn, Alexis confesses, “She’s giving away her future, and I’m the only one willing to stop it.”

Josslyn and Emma Dig Deeper—And Find a WSB Skeleton

Elsewhere, Emma Scorpio-Drake and Josslyn Jacks continue their covert investigation into Professor Marcus Dalton—a man they now suspect of laundering experimental data through the university’s new AI-based psychology lab. A stolen keycard gives them after-hours access to Dalton’s lab, where they discover encrypted files, biometric scans, and one ominous file labeled simply: “Trina Phase II.”

Josslyn panics. Emma, however, is more clinical. “This isn’t just some rogue professor doing brain experiments. This is WSB tech. It’s marked with the same agency seals my father used to show me when he was in intel briefings.”

Their discovery sets off a domino effect. When Jason Morgan learns that Emma and Josslyn are meddling in old WSB files, he alerts Anna, who immediately tries to shut them down. But it’s too late. Emma and Joss send a copy of the encrypted file to Spinelli—who cracks just enough to see names tied to it: Kai Jordan, Trina Robinson… and a shadow WSB project code-named “Obsidian Echo.”

Willow and Michael: A Custody War Heats Up

Willow’s grief over the state of her family deepens as she watches Michael grow more emotionally aligned with Carly—and less open to compromise. Carly pushes Willow to file a motion for primary custody of Wiley and Amelia, painting Michael’s recent business dealings and increasing distance as cause for concern. “He’s becoming Sonny in a suit,” Carly says, barely hiding her bitterness.

Willow doesn’t want a war—but when she discovers that Michael is considering moving ELQ headquarters to New York, taking the children with him part-time, she’s blindsided. “You don’t even live here anymore,” she snaps at him. “Why are you making decisions like you do?”

Brook Lynn, caught between her loyalty to family and friendship with Willow, becomes an unexpected confidante. But her attempts to mediate fall flat. “This isn’t just about the kids, is it?” she asks Willow. “It’s about trust—and the fact that you don’t believe he sees you as an equal anymore.”

Willow finds herself backed into a corner—torn between preserving the peace and protecting her children from becoming pawns in a growing ELQ-Corinthos family power struggle.

Drew’s Spiral: Dangerous Deals and Shadow Offers

As Carly urges Willow toward court, Drew Cain finds himself the target of a new player in town—a tech investor named Victor Sidwell, whose interest in Drew’s Aurora Media holdings masks a darker motive. Sidwell claims he can help Drew regain control of Aurora and protect it from ELQ influence, but there’s a catch: Drew would have to use his Navy SEAL credentials to access a defunct military AI program once used by WSB analysts. The price? His silence on “Obsidian Echo.”

Jason warns Drew that Sidwell is no ordinary investor. He’s a fixer—someone who cleans up the WSB’s messes by controlling data and silencing leakers. “If you take his deal, you’re selling out every last thing you fought for,” Jason says grimly.

But Drew, already feeling powerless in Carly’s orbit and shut out of his own company, considers the offer. “What if it’s the only way I protect the people I care about?” he asks. The question lingers—because Drew’s next move could either bring down the project or drag him into its shadow web.

Sonny and Ava: An Uneasy Alliance Cracks

Ava continues to inch closer to Sonny as his support system begins to shrink. With Jason watching from the shadows and Dante overwhelmed by the fallout from WSB leaks, Ava becomes Sonny’s primary sounding board. But her influence is complicated—especially now that she’s discovered something troubling: Sonny’s prescription refills for his bipolar medication haven’t been picked up in weeks.

Ava doesn’t confront him directly. Instead, she asks Nina for help. “He’s slipping again, and I’m the only one close enough to see it.” Nina, still bitter over Sonny’s betrayal, hesitates. But when she visits Sonny and catches him in a manic state—paranoid, euphoric, and ranting about betrayal from all sides—she sees the truth.

Jason steps in, urging Ava to step back. “You’re playing with fire. You think he needs you—but what he needs is treatment.” Ava resists. “I’m not going to abandon him when he’s at his most vulnerable.”

This storyline comes to a boiling point as Sonny lashes out at Ava during a dinner at the Metro Court. In front of guests—including Spencer and Dex—he accuses her of conspiring with the Feds. “I see you for what you are,” he hisses. Ava’s composure cracks, and for the first time, Sonny’s descent feels irreversible.

Kristina’s Crisis, Alexis’s Breaking Point

The climax of the two-week arc centers on Kristina’s confrontation with Alexis after the emergency injunction is filed. Furious and betrayed, Kristina storms into Alexis’s office at The Invader. “You didn’t save me. You sabotaged me.”

Alexis begs her to understand. “I’m trying to keep you from waking up one day and realizing you gave away something you can’t get back.”

But Kristina is done listening. “Maybe I needed a mother when I was 15. But I don’t need one now.”

The final moments of the episode show Kristina returning to the Davis house, packing her things, and moving out—possibly for good.
