General Hospital Recap – August 29, 2025

Port Charles was buzzing with drama on August 29th as secrets came to light, families fractured, and a shocking discovery left everyone stunned. Let’s dive into the highlights of this gripping episode.

Britt Stumbles Onto Trouble

Britt’s rough morning quickly spiraled from a hangover to suspicion. At the lab, she noticed Pascal and Tomas acting strangely, and her instincts kicked in. Pretending she needed help, she tricked Tomas into leaving his post. What she found behind the locked door shook her to the core — Joss and Vaughn tied up, waiting for someone to rescue them.

Carly and the Boys

Over at Carly’s office, she had a heartfelt moment with Rocco and Danny. As summer wrapped up, she encouraged them to return next year, but the mood soured when Danny admitted Drew had hit them with restraining orders to keep them away from Scout. Carly’s frustration with Drew reached new heights.

Chase Appeals to the Judge

At Bobbie’s, Chase ran into Judge Herrin and made a heartfelt plea for Willow. He argued that she deserves to see her children. Though the judge appeared unmoved, she later pulled out her phone and warned someone that a detective was poking around the Corinthos case — raising suspicions of corruption.

Willow’s Risky Choice

Willow delivered shocking news to Liz: she’s reconciling with Drew. Liz couldn’t hide her disbelief, reminding Willow of the pain Drew had caused. But Willow insisted she had no choice if she wanted her children back. Her decision left Liz deeply concerned that Willow was walking down a dangerous path.

Portia Confesses to Trina

Trina’s questions finally pushed Portia to break down and confess. She revealed that she tampered with Heather’s tests to protect her daughter — a secret Drew uncovered and used against their family. Trina was horrified but relieved to finally know the truth. The mother and daughter shared an emotional embrace, though the damage Drew caused still hung heavy.

Curtis Confronts Drew

Curtis stormed into Drew’s office and the tension exploded. Drew mocked Curtis over Stella’s troubles, but Curtis wasn’t having it. He warned Drew that if he kept targeting his family, there would be deadly consequences. Watching from nearby, Kai began to realize that Drew’s ruthless side ran even deeper than he imagined.

Stella Turns to Jordan

At the PCPD, Stella opened up to Jordan about her fears. She worried that Curtis might do something reckless as Drew’s threats escalated. Luckily, Alexis managed to secure bail for Stella, but the sense of unease lingered, leaving Jordan concerned for Curtis’ next move.

Carly vs. Drew

Carly’s patience ran thin when Drew barged into her office, pressuring her about Michael. Carly didn’t back down, fiercely defending her family and calling Drew out for his manipulative schemes. Their face-off was heated and set the stage for an even bigger showdown.

A Shocking Death

The biggest twist came at the pier, where Rocco and Danny spotted something horrifying — the lifeless body of Judge Herrin floating in the water. Her mysterious death raises chilling questions about who silenced her, and what secrets she was protecting.

Final Thoughts

From Britt’s shocking discovery of Joss and Vaughn, to Willow’s desperate gamble with Drew, and the grim reveal of Judge Herrin’s body, this episode was packed with jaw-dropping moments. As Port Charles reels from these events, it’s clear the fallout has only just begun.
