General Hospital recap (July 22, 2025): Turner targets Sonny, Portia exposes Drew while Martin discovers a letter

The changing atmosphere on General Hospital's storyline hints at violence awaiting to strike as enemies are poised before attacks and counterattacks. While ADA Turner wants to fulfil her mission of nabbing Sonny, Drew's victim, Portia, is ready to uncover his truth. Elsewhere, Martin may side with Drew, but a discovery has him rattled.

The previous few episodes of General Hospital built up to Willow's marriage scenario. After stalking baby Daisy, Willow was delighted to know that Sasha left town with the baby. On the other hand, Drew blackmailed Portia to tweak Michael's medical file to paint him as an addict.

While Drew promised his fiancée that she would get her children back, Portia decided to stand up to his demands. Elsewhere, Sonny kidnapped Marco to corner the latter's father. Besides an article on him blaming him for Natalia's death, Sonny was also targeted by Nina's tabloid about his mental health.

With Sidwell and Drew on one side, backed by Tracy, and Turner on the other, Sonny saw too many enemies in town. In the upcoming episodes, as Willow gets ready to marry her beau, Drew's enemies will line up to derail the wedding. Meanwhile, the mobsters in town are busy planning to take each other down on the long-running ABC soap.
