What happened to Lulu Spencer on General Hospital? Storyline recapped

Lulu Spencer went into a coma after suffering head injuries from an explosive accident in 2020. The character was married to Dante Falconeri at the time and shared a family with him, but the characters have now had four years to grow and move on as Lulu remained comatose on the soap.

Earlier in 2024, Lulu's mother Laura received a disturbing update about her daughter's health: Lulu was experiencing liver failure in her coma. Doctors mentioned that the character might need urgent organ donation surgery to ensure that she lived.

Lulu's brother Lucky Spencer was called in from Africa, and Jason and Anna went to fetch him back to Port Charles for Lulu's surgery. However, it turned out that Lucky was not a match as an organ donor, sending the family into a frenzy once more.

It was then revealed that Sam McCall could be a possible donor for Lulu's liver surgery. Sam agreed in the hope of saving Lulu's life. Unfortunately, despite the surgery being successful, Sam passed away shortly after it. Dante, who was Sam's fiance at the time, was left devastated by this development.

In another twist, Lulu woke up after the surgery in her empty hospital room, unaware that she had lost four years of her life. Panicking, she escaped the hospital, and doctors had to inform Lucky and Elizabeth that they could no longer find her on the premises.

Lulu felt the need to head back home. She hitched a ride with Cody from the road and came back to Port Charles. Initially, she went to the house occupied by Maxie now, thinking that it was her home. She was greeted by Maxie's son James at the door, who called his mother claiming about "stranger danger". Confused at all the changes, Lulu has now decided to head to the Quartermaine mansion.
