General Hospital: A quick look at Lucy's current story arc

Recently, Herring's Lucy Coe met newcomer businessman, Jenz Sidwell, when the latter asked her to show some real estate properties to buy. After selling the Cassadine property, Wyndemere, to Sidwell, Lucy got the businessman onboard for a Deception deal. After bribing Sasha, Sidwell got the contract to supply zincite to Deception for their newest skincare product.

However, soon the Deception ladies got jitters after learning about Sidwell's past as a criminal, Natalia as his former wife and their lawyer son, Marco. Unwilling to let zincite out of hand, the team fired a shocked Natalia. Meanwhile, Lucy coaxed the criminal-turned-businessman into funding the annual Nurses Ball for the year.

Currently, Lucy Coe is busy hosting the long-awaited Nurses Ball for the year 2025. With so many performances and parameters under her schedule, Lucy is expected to firefight a series of crises. However, upcoming twists and revealed secrets on GH will shock Lucy as much as others.
