Subterfuges bode heartbreak on General Hospital in the week of May 12, 2025, as Emma finds her hard work derailed. On one hand, Nina will ask her rival-turned-ally, Carly, to get onboard with her plan, while on the other, her daughter may have bad news awaiting her. Elsewhere, Portia feels out of options, while her husband is concerned about her.
The past week on General Hospital set the foundation for some of the drama in the upcoming episodes. At the centre of the storyline was Rocco's alcohol poisoning. Even after the teenager recovered, his father accused Gio, holding him responsible for Rocco's predicament.
Later, Dante threatened to bring a manslaughter charge against Danny to accuse Jason of bad parenting. However, Lois put a stop to this by giving the upset father an earful.
On the other hand, Sidwell offered to buy Sonny's piers, which the latter promised to consider. Meanwhile, Emma confided more intel on Professor Dalton to Josslyn, while the latter received further instructions from Brennan. Elsewhere, Drew spoke at a press conference to clear his image.
Other Port Charles residents continued facing various challenges on General Hospital, one of the long-running ABC daily soaps.

General Hospital: Emma's dream looks shattered
Emma Drake needed to get the research assistant's position under Professor Dalton and had her project on a thumb drive, ready to submit. However, Josslyn stole the drive, copied her project and corrupted the drive before returning it, as seen on Friday, May 2, 2025.
Recently, she told Joss secrets about the professor and the reason she needed to stay close. However, the upcoming episodes will see the result of Emma's hard work coming to nought. Her fate will likely be sealed as her drive will not run her project. Meanwhile, Joss may submit the same project, copied from Emma, to secure the position.
This will likely leave the activist dejected. However, Dalton may still be keen on this student. Whether he gives Emma another opportunity and makes an exception remains to be seen.

General Hospital: Willow has bad news coming her way
Recently, Willow Corinthos returned from Germany, believing that Michael refused to meet her. Upon arrival, she found Drew in an obnoxious situation. However, his blood test showing Ketamine restored her faith in him. As such, she stood beside him at his press conference, showing support. She also discovered a vial of presumed vitamin infusion on Drew in Friday's episode, dated May 9, 2025.
However, the soap's spoilers suggest, Willow will face a setback in the coming week. The vial likely had something other than vitamins, and Willow stumbles onto the secret. Alternatively, after Sasha mentions Willow's failed trip to Jason, the latter may enquire with Michael and dig out the truth. If Willow learns about Drew's role in sabotaging her trip, she will be crushed.
General Hospital: Nina asks Carly for help
As fans already know, Nina and Portia collaborated to bring Drew down. However, the plan failed since Drew's drugged behavior blew all over the town. As mentioned before, after his blood test revealed Ketamine, Willow believed the Congressman was drugged and decided to stay loyal to him.
Now, Nina is worried about her secret coming out. So far, no one knows her actions other than Portia and Carly. Since she is worried about Portia's ability to stay tough under pressure, she will likely reach out to Carly for help. Moreover, she will get into a foolproof plan with Carly Spencer on the Willow-Drew separation project.
While the exact nature of Nina's request and their joint plan is as yet unknown, it will be a twist in the tale. Whether Nina finds out about Carly's custody battle and gets desperate enough to ask the latter to go ahead with it remains to be seen.
